Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2006 Don't know if this warranted its own thread, but Bryan Alvarez, on his weekend radio show, said: "I swear to God, this is true - you want to know what happened with this show [this week's Impact]? Russo fucked up and thought there was an extra week, so they had to do two hours of angles in this show." I might upload the show because their review of Impact is spot on and funny as hell.

Russo fucked up and thought there was an extra week, so they had to do two hours of angles in this show." PWI reported a long time ago that Russo thought TNA was moving to 2 hours for good and he was writing 2 hours shows. Now he got to edit all those shows down to 1 hour. As for the whole VKM debate, it's a undercard/midcard angle and the best use of James Gang in awhile. As far as I concern, am cool with them not wrestling.

Thanks for the Fish 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2006 In a vid available on the tna website Ron Killings calls out John Cena before rapping on him and the the wwe, and rapping about how good TNA is. Funny thing is is that Killings has asked repeatedly to be released from this contract but TNA won't because they don't want him jumping to the wwe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2006 Probably because he's been doing nothing of value since 3LK broke up. Konnan went on to do LAX, BG formed The James Gang/VKM with Kip, while Killings has been a card filler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the Fish 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2006 Before Monty Brown left there was talk of teaming Brown with Elix and Truth to form BET, a militant Black faction. With LAX akin to the Boriquas, BET like the Nation all you would need would be Skull and 8-Ball(who are both under contract with TNA) and maybe Lance Hoyt, who sounds like a white supremist name(Thanx Oz)... There was also a rumor that ROH's Prince Nana was going to be brought in for the BET faction, but somebody nixed that idea. I guess they could still do the faction, however call it the Black Elite Team, as opposed to each members initial to create the name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RepoMan 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2006 The main probleme with VKM mess is that you have washed up ex-DX memberes pretending they're still relevant and its a total rehash of the D-X invades WCW from the late 90s. Plus when DX invaded WCW, it probably actually annoyed Bishoff. Everyone know's Vince could care less about two washed up ex-employees running around Stanford with a camera.

After the whole Michael Richards attacking the heckler rant gone wrong I think an uppity rapper gimmick could be relevant. Do they really need to do that though when they have LAX pretty much the same thing? Ron the Truth Killings was the standout star of 3LK. Konnan was doing nothing but saying "Arriba me zapato" and BG James was doing nothing but rehashing the Michael Buffer intro. There is too much talent in Ron Killings to be wasting him in tag matches with Lance Hoyt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot for Killings to do unless you put him in the X Division, and even then, they're pretty crowded there. I'd say build up Killings and Hoyt as a fun tag team, maybe feud with the Naturals or something. I don't think they should touch LAX for the moment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think they should touch LAX for the moment I would like to see him in the crowded main event scene. Since Impact has gone to the 80% storys format why not have Ron Killings speak the truth on what really happened when he was working in the WWF with the current main eventers. Hell if they can make a back story for Tomko knowing "secrets" about the champ I think the writers can make something up for Ron Killings. So when will TNA do a show in Iraq everybody else is doing one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2006 Why would anyone want TNA to have another title? The three titles they have now barely mean anything as it is with how they've been booked. A fourth title isn't going to be treated any different, so why bother? Just have Killings declare his desire to be NWA Champion again and build towards that. It's not rocket science.

razazteca 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2006 I have another brilliant suggestion! Go back to the good old NWA/WCW days and bring back the 6 man tag team championships! All they have to do is make the current NWA tag team championship into 3 man team and since LAX is champs called it Los Trios Campiones de Mundo! Everything is already in place its not like they have to go out of their way to make this work. There are already several 3 man teams in TNA be it Papparazi, Team 3D (if they return), Naturals with Shane Douglas, AMW with Petey Williams or JJ, The Movement, Ron Killings/Hoyt/Senshi and whatever combo of X division wrestlers they can throw together at the last minute. I mean they already have the tag team genius in Jim Cornette there and they have Mr. AAA Konan there, and Mr. Gang Wars Vince Russo there why can't they come up with something to make the tag division more interesting! And by interesting I mean matches that last longer than 3 minutes and don't always end with run-ins or Gail Kim hitting Andy Chase with handcuffs or Traci Brooks flashing her tits or something I've seen a million times before.

Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2006 More insanity from Kurt: Thanks to Mark Wilson who sent word that on yesterday’s Bubba the Love Sponge show, Kurt Angle claimed that his first shoot fight will take place in Spring 2007 on a TNA Pay-Per-View. Angle namedropped Tito Ortiz, Chuck Liddell, Ken Shamrock, Randy Couture and Daniel Puder as possible opponents, but wouldn’t go so far as to confirm his opponent. He also said that he felt he had several shoot fights in him, but wanted a few months to train for the first fight, which he said would take place “May or June.” As reported way back in September, shortly after Angle left World Wrestling Entertainment, the idea of Daniel Puder vs Kurt Angle had been touted to UFC, with Puder’s camp pushing for the match to take place. Puder has also caught the interest of TNA in the past, and had been backstage at TV tapings earlier in the year. -Wrestlemag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest samoapunk Report post Posted December 10, 2006 I agree. Angle and Puder just don't like each other and I'm sure that would translate well on tv. I was hoping to see Kurt do some MMA at some point in his career, but I'm guessing that's a long shot with the neck problems and all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

razazteca 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 I'm willing to guess it will be someone like Shamrock (who was the first TNA era NWA Champ) who can "shoot" with Angle safely, plus I've always marked for Shammy. Ken Wayne Shamrock would be the perfect choice after all he is a natural jobber in MMA and has been one for years a loss to Angle doesn't really hurt his image since he has the Mike Tyson appeal now where people know he is years past his prime but still want to pay to see him fight. Shamrock vs Angle can only help take TNA into that glorious 1.0+ tv rating range but then again I thought the same about Angle vs Joe. The only people that care about Puder would be hardcore MMA fans that are regulars at Sherdog.com. Having Tito, Chuck, or Randy work a wrestling match would destroy their MMA credibility and I'm sure UFC and Spike tv would not want to do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
