USC Wuz Robbed! Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 Yes the dueling chant is indication of his overness as opposed to the crowd just being smarky for the sake of being smarky, right?
benoit4hor Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 In Wade Kellers new audio update on pwtorch.com he said TNA has signed a name from the Monday Night War era. He said hes not a huge name but he was a head liner and he will debute on the first primetime episode of Impact. I hope Sting didn't get Luger in.
World's Worst Man Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 Intriguing ”one of the biggest stars in the world” and X Cup related to boot. So strike Liger cause he’s been on a TNA show before Mistico? Erm how is he “one of the biggest stars in the world”? Kobashi? I think he qualifies Lesner? Well I doubt he’d be put in the X Cup so I’m saying no So think “big names” and X division type people – Ultimo Dragon? Mutoh? No I think I will cast my vote for the one, the only – the BIGGEST STAR in the world (not just in wrestling) LAAAAAAAAA PARKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! *Chair dance* Shinsuke Nakamura is supposedly the guy. Which is funny, since he isn't one that would really fit into that division, and I doubt New Japan would let him job to anyone in the company.
Dangerous A Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 Isn't Luger still in jail? If it's Luger, then TNA really has no clue. Shinsuke Nakamura is supposedly the guy. Which is funny, since he isn't one that would really fit into that division, and I doubt New Japan would let him job to anyone in the company. They did Tanahashi in January and he didn't fit either. I think the bookers probrably take what NJPW gives them. I'd think Jado and Gedo would be a better fit myself.
daileyxplanet Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 I don't think it's Luger, he was a big deal during the Monday Night War, see his debut. It's probably... John Tenta or the Fake Sting.
Hawk 34 Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 Since it says "debut", you can rule out DDP (who burned bridges anyways)...and Shamrock. What about...Scott Steiner? Buff Bagwell? It wouldn't be Jericho, since he is actually a "big name" and didn't really headline the MNW years.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 Wouldn't be surprised if it was Big Poppa Pump. I believe Bagwell has been in TNA at one point or other.
Astro101 Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 Hopefully TNA didn't sign up BPP or Buff. And overness in the Impact Zone doesn't really equal overness outside of it. Which is why these "house shows" are gonna be good to see who's really connecting with the fans.
Guest nokia Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 Norman Smiley debuted at this weeks Impact tapings
Si82 Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 According to Dave Meltzer, TNA is working to finalize Team UK for the X Cup this week as Doug Williams, Nigel McGuiness, Jonny Storm and Jody Fleisch. This team pleases me.
Silence Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 Hoyt Vs. Bentley? My God, why? You see, TNA is still in this mode where if you have tenure, even if you're not over, you get TV time. It's one of the many things that continue to hurt the quality of PPV's. The feeling of having to get everyone on TV for fear of hurting feelings of guys who have been with the company for a long time. Yeah, didn't Bentley complain about not getting pushed when he was pissed at Shelley? Bentley's just HBK without the talent.
benoit4hor Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 I thought Bentley did a good job playing a heel in ROH during the Paul London fued, hopefully he goes back to that character.
GODSON Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 Are you guys forgetting that Matt Bentley/Michael Shane has always been popular? Even going back to the Nashville days the guy was over and that was before Shazarian. Hoyt on the other hand is an Orlando creation.
Guest ChampKind Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 Hoyt-Bentley...I'm sure they won't get more than 5 minutes on a PPV, and neither one is that good. Be thankful they're not wasting a talented worker's time. I would guess they're getting feuds as a reward for being loyal to TNA, too. Sure, they're not as good as Aries, but if you're running a company, who do you reward: the guy with less talent who does what you ask of him, or the talented guy who doesn't follow through on your request?
Epic Reine Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 Didn't Jody Flesich retire a few years ago?
Si82 Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 Didn't Jody Flesich retire a few years ago? He did but then he came back.
King Cucaracha Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 According to Dave Meltzer, TNA is working to finalize Team UK for the X Cup this week as Doug Williams, Nigel McGuiness, Jonny Storm and Jody Fleisch. This team pleases me. Ditto, especially after the horror line-up last time. If all goes well, I could see Doug getting a regular contract...although, doesn't he work for NOAH? Wouldn't that be a problem with New Japan?
Fro Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 Allegedly the guy Keller was talking about is Scott Steiner. I'm pretty sure Meltzer is talking about Mistico, as he's a top draw in Mexico right now, and hence would be "one of the biggest stars in the world".
Bruce Blank Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 I'm pretty sure Meltzer is talking about Mistico, as he's a top draw in Mexico right now, and hence would be "one of the biggest stars in the world".Only if you disregard common logic would he be "one of the biggest stars in the world" one of the biggest stars right now in CMLL? Maybe so, but in the grand scheme of things - that's an overstatement but maybe that's more wrestling hype than reality, so hey if he's really truely talented then I'd be okay with the "overhype".
Guest shark boy super fan Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 Norman Smiley debuted at this weeks Impact tapings Yes Norman Smiley is back. Bring back Rufus. We want Rufus we want Rufus.
EdwardKnoxII Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 These were in the Observer thread in the WWE folder and I thought I'd post them here. TNA talked with Bruno Sammartino about being a baby facr commish vs Larry Z's heel commish TNA offered Kanyon a one day contract, he refused to sign it because that one day deal would give TNA rights to his merchandise for the rest of his career
Si82 Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 Norman Smiley debuted at this weeks Impact tapings Yes Norman Smiley is back. Bring back Rufus. We want Rufus we want Rufus. You mean Ralphus, right?

Bruce Blank Posted March 14, 2006 Report Posted March 14, 2006 "If everything works out, one of the biggest stars in the world will debut on that PPV (3.12) which will build for him returning for the X World Cup."Well I got to say NO ONE predicted right Puma Who the puck is Puma? and just how many lightyears short of "one of the biggest stars" is he? LOL
