Michrome 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2003 "The NWA TNA PPV show scheduled for 11/30 was canceled this afternoon when officials found out Hulk Hogan would be undergoing surgery on his right knee. Hogan's surgery is scheduled for 10/31, after aggravated the knee in his match on 10/13 against Masahiro Chono. The deal itself hasn't fallen through but a big show would not be taking place this year." Credit: Wrestlingobserver God damn, there just seems to be no luck for up and coming promotions.

Michrome 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2003 It would flop if they went ahead with it, I mean, if they can't get people to buy Wednesday PPVs for 10 bucks, how will they get people to spend 30? Especially in a month with Survivor Series. They could use this as a good opportunity to run an injury angle with Hogan, putting over someone (young?) by taking Hogan out.

syxx2001 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2003 It makes them look bad but its not their fault. So what. Its a factor that they couldn't control. Its not like they ran out of money or couldn't get a good place to run it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michrome 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2003 Two upsides: 1) AJ might keep the belt. 2) ROH will have all their talent for the double shot weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its not like they ran out of money or couldn't get a good place to run it. Oh, I agree. It's not their fault, but it does make them look bad. It's like coming out and saying "Non of our wrestlers are worth payin $30 to see". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Coffey Report post Posted October 22, 2003 Is this some kind of sick joke? I'm in denial here! So, since Hogan isn't going to show up, is Jeff Jarrett still going to go over AJ Styles? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MikeSC Report post Posted October 22, 2003 Hmm, a big Sunday PPV without a star to sell it. ITS GONNA FLOP. Seeing as how I've yet to see a single ad for it, it's for the best.

Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2003 This friggin' sucks for sure, but if anything it means TNA is just going to work that much harder. I'm disappointed, but I'm now also anxious to see how the long-term booking (with more time to build to a huge show) will pan out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BoboBrazil 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2003 Russo will probably come back now since Hogan is out of the picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2003 There's pluses and minuses. The negatives are basically for me and others looking forward to it...and for TNA since they have no excuse on air as to why the show is off. The positives are I'd Love to see what Mantel can lay out for a show in a few months instead of a few weeks. His best work in IWA, IMO was building towards emotional blowoff matches. The quality and success of the show may improve as a result when it does happen. Sucks since I was pumped though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2003 Alright. I'll guess they'll announce that Hogan needs unspecified surgery as a result of Jarrett's attack. That'll buy them time on that...and let Jarrett get footing as a heel before the make up next year. What they SHOULD do is put Styles over tomorrow and worry about putting the title back on Jarrett in a couple months. Not just because I don't want Jarrett getting the title back (especially now that it's for no reason) but because the booking going into the match FAVORS Styles retaining.
