Guest *KNK* Report post Posted July 6, 2005 I remember reading long ago, in '03, that Akio (Jimmy Yang at the time) had pretty much burnt all his bridges in TNA. Hopefully the Jarretts will give him another chance. That guy can go! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't think he would even waste time heading back to TNA. He'll likely go straight to ROH where he is a fan and has been at various shows before and wait til his spot in AJPW opens up again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kardo 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 Gangrel? I don't believe WWE even owns this name but he used the name in the indies didn't he? or at least the gimmick, I want to say Vampire Warrior. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Gangrel is owned by White Wolf, and the WWE got the permissions to use it. That's why he was using Vampire Warrior on the indies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Just John 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 I hope the Dudleys get released. The last time I was remotely interested in either of them was during the Reverend D-Von angle. They're stale and work the same routine whether they're faces or heels. The only thing they have going for them is a ridicuolously large number of title reigns. Get rid of them. I thought Matt went to ROH, but I might be wrong. Still, it's not like a Hardy/Dudley feud in TNA would destroy the WWE fanbase. Might spike buys for one TNA show, but that would ultimately have little or no effect on WWE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He debuts on 7/16 in Woodbridge against Christopher Daniels He's booked for that show and the 8/12 and 8/13 doubleshot weekend in Dayton and Chicago and not beyond that. Adding fuel to the speculation he'll be back in WWE for SummerSlam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fertig was dicking around in match in OVW, and Cornette sent word to him, via the ref, that he should stop. Fertig kept it up, and when they got to the back, Cornette 'had words' with Fertig, who bitched about it a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't do that because he's male. Have him talk shit only to get squashed? It's been, what, 3 years now, and the guy is still awful in the ring. A low card guy who can only talk, and who was frequently injured, is expendable, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
