Michrome Posted October 22, 2003 Report 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.
dpac Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 FUCK, That really sucks for everyone involved.
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 TNA - Still bush league.
BoboBrazil Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 They should still do the fucking event without Hogan and just have him do a 2nd one in February when he gets healed up.
syxx2001 Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 Hmm, a big Sunday PPV without a star to sell it. ITS GONNA FLOP.
Guest BionicRedneck Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 This makes TNA look really bad.
Michrome Posted October 22, 2003 Author Report 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 Posted October 22, 2003 Report 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.
Michrome Posted October 22, 2003 Author Report Posted October 22, 2003 Two upsides: 1) AJ might keep the belt. 2) ROH will have all their talent for the double shot weekend.
Guest BionicRedneck Posted October 22, 2003 Report 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. 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".
Michrome Posted October 22, 2003 Author Report Posted October 22, 2003 Well, it's Meltzer, and I don't remember the last time he was wrong on something like this.
iliketurtles Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 Damn. Wicked bad timing for both TNA AND Hogan.
Guest Coffey Posted October 22, 2003 Report 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?
bob_barron Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA. That's hilarious
Use Your Illusion Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 Barron's reaction is fucking gold. So much for Hogan changing the landscape of pro wrestling again. Keep on truckin', Jerry. UYI
tpww7 Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 Good, AJ will be on the Fairfield ROH show now. Thank you TNA.
Guest MikeSC Posted October 22, 2003 Report 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. They actually need a MARKETING CAMPAIGN as most people don't have a clue that they exist. -=Mike
BifEverchad Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 I knew it was too good to be true. Oh well, tough break for Jarrett. Better Luck Next Time!
Astro101 Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 Well, I hope they don't really cancel it just for one guy, even though Hogan was the selling point. Dammit...I really hope AJ goes over Jarrett now.
Guest Boo_Bradley Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 I expect this thread to have a minimum of 75 posts before its through, the flames have just begun!
BoboBrazil Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 Damn. Hogan was supposed to have a telephone call to the show tomorrow night and make a live appearance at the asylum on 9/29 according to the latest observer too.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 That is really funny. Time for Dutch to get his thinking cap on.
Zack Malibu Posted October 22, 2003 Report 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.
BoboBrazil Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 Russo will probably come back now since Hogan is out of the picture.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted October 22, 2003 Report 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.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted October 22, 2003 Report 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.
slimm44 Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 Maybe this will change the outcome of Styles/Jarrett for tomorrow night. *Crosses fingers*
