TNA Comments which don't warrant a thread

Maybe he's gay?

[Golgo 13 0]

Why does Robert Roode keep getting pushed? I just think he's a boring mid-carder, who's never ending feud with Eric Young seems totally pointless.

 

I think he's alright, but for a number of reasons I can't buy into his gimmick at all.

-Finally Bentley was upset that after his years of service he was just coldly informed that he was done, there was no thanking him for his tenure with the company and or wishing him well.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he leave TNA once for the bright lighs of WWE, only to come back for BFG 05?

[Jingus 0]

That was Kazarian.

[razazteca 0]

If Kaz was a 2nd gen wrestler he would be main eventing PPVs by now but the politics was holding him down there as it is now in TNA.

[Jacques 0]

Luke-O is right. Bentley did left TNA for a short while and tried to hook up with WWE but came right back after he was rejected.

[haws bah gawd 0]

You'd figure Bentley being related to Shawn Michaels (if it's even legit?) would make him a shoe-in for WWE.

Londrick and Cade have personalities hence why they are employed by the E.

I wonder if Sting will decide to stick around another year, he's been here two years and they've managed to promote the matches that I had passing interest in (Jarrett,Abyss) for months on end. Yet they book the ones I want to see (Joe, Angle) as filler on impact.

[luke-o 0]

I believe he only stayed round for this year so he could work with Abyss. I'm not sure he had any other plans for other fueds.

Too bad Impact isn't a more balanced show considering all the talent they have just sitting on their hands doing nothing while Kurt Angle & Nash get overexposed doing the "I'm the whole f'n show" getting involved in every segment of the program.

Agreed. I now hold Kurt Angle in the same regard as HHH circa 2003 and Hulk Hogan from '98 on.

Its another edition of TNA Remix.

 

PACKING THE MAGNET vs IMPACT

Start fixing TNA by NEVER having Tenay on camera.

His "stern" "all business" broadcast journalist stare

while conducting interviews could be the corniest

aspect of the show.

Get rid of Tenay completely. Find Scott Hudson and make him the play by play man. I just got done watching a tape of Nitro in january of 01 where Flair's Magnificant 7 had a mock funeral for Goldberg and Hudson did a great job as the announcer really putting over the Flair, Steiner, Jarrett as complete pricks. Hell Borash would do better job than Tenay. They also have a bunch of guys that could be great color commentators...Kevin Nash, Simon Diamond, Raven would all make good color commentators with personality. Dig up Mike Sanders or Glen Gilberti...either one would do a better job on color than West. It just boggles my mind how TNA can stick with this shitty announce team for five years and not give anyone else a shot.

And Jeff Jarrett, NWA champion.

I want a former wrestler as one of the announcers. Hell, drag Randy Savage out of the Tampa Bay strip clubs and have him put over Jay Lethal's gimmick.

[dubq 0]

I'd seriously like to see Scott Hall as a colour commentary guy.

[Jingus 0]

Whoa, whooooa, let's not go TOO far now.

[razazteca 0]

They could at least bring back Terry Taylor to be the 3rd man announcer or do the backstage interviews again or even better have Alex Shelley continue the Paparazzi cam exclusive interviews just change the name to McMg presents or something.

I stumbled across this after watching the TNA Remix video.

I say BRING HIM IN NOW and make him the #1 heel. Who knew that he could work as a heel. Maybe even in the WWE vs. Mick Foley could work.

[RedJed 0]

Jeez, I mean I thought Schiavonie was fine and all in this one promo, but can we say overreaction? He's a fucking announcer, you want him as TNA's number one heel?!!

 

Granted, he may be fun as Tenay's sidekick on commentary as a heel, but thats about it. BTW, I totally disagree with any viewpoint that Tenay should not be the TNA play by play man. Take Don West out of the equation and we could all handle him much better.

[CubbyBr 0]

Tenay is just terrible. Any angle TNA does that is meant to be taken seriously is ruined by Tenay. Every time he opens his mouth about a certain angle or storyline it loses its seriousness. Yelling over interviews and entrances, his wacky facial expressions..the guy is just the drizzling shits and the only reason he has a job is because Jeff Jarrett is in charge.

[dubq 0]

I would fully endorse Tony Schiavone coming in as a heel commentary guy. His voice expression is so much better in that one TNA promo than it's ever been when it's trying to be the straight-laced commentary guy.

Karen Angle has signed with TNA.

 

TNA to two hours in early October is just about a definite at this point according to sources in both TNA and Spike.

 

Those who have spoken to a number of talents within TNA are reporting that nobody is even complaining that much anymore, they're "over it" and see it much like WCW at the end -- which is quite ironic considering TNA is about to make its latest huge breakthrough by going to two hours.

 

TNA has had at least one meeting with Brock Lesnar about the possibility of him coming in. Kurt Angle is one of the main conduits, and he must be a hell of a smooth talker because I could never have imagined Brock would go to Japan, have a wrestling match with Kurt, and put him over clean for the IWGP Title had I not seen it with my own eyes. Brock had given the impression that he was finished with wrestling, but the fact that he spoke with Dixie Carter about this suggests he's at least considering it.

 

It's basically either TNA or MMA, because we're told the chances of him coming back to WWE are miniscule due to very bad blood between himself and Vince McMahon. I can't go into all of the details, but there was a personal situation involved that Vince basically came out on the losing end of (not a fight, though it is rumored there was an incident where Vince challenged him and asked Brock if he thought he could take him; what actually happened nobody knows and probably ever will know because it was a closed-door meeting between the two of them). V

 

ince holds a grudge, and following this situation Brock ended up doing random pointless jobs on TV, he feuded with Bob Holly, he lost the title, and eventually he'd had enough and decided he was quitting wrestling to try football. They did reconcile to the point where Brock entered into negotiations with them about coming back in August of 2005, and Vince gave him a hardball crapty offer.

 

Brock, with seemingly no other options (this was in the middle of Vince enforcing the no-compete through 2010 that Brock signed prior to his failed NFL stint), verbally agreed, but then on the plane flight home he got to thinking about it and ended up calling and verbally un-agreeing. Ultimately, it went to court and Brock won. Brock, to rub it in Vince's face, started calling the F-5 "The Verdict". Clearly his settlement was even sweeter than anyone imagined if he's entered into negotiations to wrestle for the number-two wrestling promotion in the US. So anyway, as a result of all of this, if anyone even mentions Brock's name in WWE these days Vince immediately either says NO or buries him as a chickencrap.

 

 

TNA and Spike produced a Kurt Angle Action Short~! for the Spike website. It was something else. Basically, the story is that Kurt Angle returns to a bar he used to go to in Stamford, CT. Sitting around a table is a guy that I guess is supposed to be Vince McMahon and a bunch of thugs, presumed to be WWE wrestlers. Vince tells them to get rid of Kurt. So they go up to him and Kurt says, Shouldn't you be working on a crapty movie right now? Ah, the ironies of this skit. So the guys attack him and he beats them all up, all the while making proclamations such as, "LESS TALK MORE ACTION!",

 

Speaking of cost-cutting, Jerry Lynn, who has been there since 2002, Brother Runt (yes, he was still employed), Matt Bentley, and Doug Basham are all history. Damaja has been gone for awhile. I believe he just basically stopped showing up. Bentley has already gone on several tirades about how much the company sucks, how miserable everyone is, etc. He should be on our radio show this week so I'll have more on this in the next issue. I believe Jerry and perhaps Basham asked for their releases. Several others have asked and been denied.

 

Several wrestlers were also not flown to the tapings this past week. The feeling was, they weren't booked for the show so they didn't need to be there. In other words, they also didn't get paid.

 

Ron Killings was talked into returning with a raise and the promise of working with Pacman in what would be the highest-profile program of his career.

The problem isn't necessary Tenay the problem is whoever is in charge telling him to act that way on camera. So, uh, blame Russo, yeah that's the ticket!

[Jingus 0]

Well, he didn't scream like a meth addict while he was in WCW, so obviously someone in TNA told him to change his style.

[HollywoodSpikeJenkins 0]

I miss Goldi. She was nice to look at. They never should have tried to push her as a heel manager, though.

guess there's gonna be some sort of preview of the TNA Impact game at the German Game festival

Am I the only one disgusted at the Lynn release with such little fanfare? The guy carried the company in its infancy in 2002, busting his ass in awesome matches that truly defined that early TNA product and the X Division.

If memory serves Tenay was like the #3 or #4 announcer early on then some genius thought it was a good idea to make him the on-location interviewer and we all know what happened. Tenay started to "act" making those infamous faces and vocals everything from shock to fear to serious. Then it hit the fan with the Scott Steiner interview which was too violent for television~ And it got worse from that point on.
