Styles 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2004 Jonny Fairplay close to signing... Jonny Fairplay, one of the stars of Survivor, is extremely close to signing on with NWA: TNA. Unless a major problem comes up, he should be debuting with TNA soon. Fairplay often used wrestling catchphrases on Survivor and was hoping to land a deal with WWE, but thus far WWE has not had too much interest in him. Fairplay is the former assistant of Roddy Piper.

BoboBrazil 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2004 This should be pretty good for TNA. It should get them some attention on shows like Extra and Access Hollywood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted January 7, 2004 If they need to bring in reality tv people why not some of the Tough Enough people? You would think they'd get more viewers from them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OldSchoolWrestling 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2004 The guy is good at pissing people off and actually knows a little bit about the business. He just might be able to get himself over as a heel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2004 They had Jonah do one match. And it was pretty damn good, considering how green he was at the time (and probably still is). TE3 produced the best crop, as I think most of them are still working at getting into the business (with Matt and John being, apparently, the best TE winners yet, and Jonah representing MASS~! to the fullest extent). I've never watched Survivor, so I have no idea who this guy is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Notorious CRD Report post Posted January 7, 2004 Ugh. Why? This will do nothing for them... except get me to not tune in. I can't stand that guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Report post Posted January 8, 2004 The guy is good at pissing people off and actually knows a little bit about the business. He just might be able to get himself over as a heel. He was good when acting like a heel in a stupid reality show where those antics aren't expected. But wrestling? A major company? Right. Vince didn't even touch him, what does that say? He's nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2004 They're really sort of understating Jonny Fairplay's involvement in the business. He was previously a manager, heel commentator, and promoter along with being Piper's assistant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dynamite Kido Report post Posted January 8, 2004 They're really sort of understating Jonny Fairplay's involvement in the business. He was previously a manager, heel commentator, and promoter along with being Piper's assistant. Reguardless, I really doubt there is anything that he can do that would really help TNA.

thuganomics 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2004 If they use him as a manager/annoying prick it will probably work. Please don't let him wrestle though. Y'know, it's a good thing Russo ain't writing anymore, otherwise, he'd end up NWA champion... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slingshot Suplex 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2004 I'm with dynamite. This will add nothing. Especially long term and all it can do is take attention away from the wrestlers. I have an 8 X 10 of that Bullock pic. Greatest picture of her ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thuganomics 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2004 Anything that'll get new people watching NWA TNA at the moment is a good thing. It's just a matter of tying in some strong wrestling to go with it to get the fans hooked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
