There must've been a lot of complaint coming into tna offices, as this was a case of false advertising. I was under the impression that I was tuning in to a wrestling show.
they shouldn't even bother setting up the ring anymore, just  put up two podiums so hogan and bishoff can come out and gab.

I would rather wath Kurt Angle against A.J Styles in a heated battle.

Bishoff took what used to be a somewhat watchable show and ruined it with his dated 1990s ideas.

Before I bailed, there was a segment in which Hogan and Bishoff take over TNA from Dixie. They also form an alliance with Flair's group as well as Jeff Hardy, the new champ.

It reminded me of the NWO after it jumped the shark and there were like 20 members in the ring.

Of course, the problem with this current incarnation is exactly the same: Who are all these guys gonna wrestle?

If Bishoff has his way, the answer is "no one" because there won't be any actual wrestling on the show.



It was really bad.

I bailed.

Vince has let down bigtime in the past three years and his ratings are proof positive of that. Ask the vast majority and see if they're watching WWE programming or Monday night football or another sport of choice and see what the answer is?

Destroying all opposition is the single biggest reason pro-wrestling sucks ass right now.  VKM is just dealing with his own creation.

Not to mention that the only training camp is OVW. Before, you had Vern Gagne, Hiro Matsuda, etc training wrestlers so you had different styles of wrestlers. They trained for years before making it to the big stage. Now? You have guys who do 6 weeks of "tough Enough", 6 months in OVW and nex thing you know the'r on RAW with no experience and green as grass.

Yep, like we've said VKM squashing all the territories killed off the lifeblood of wrestling.  Only those of us who followed it before know what I mean.

Exactly. That statement in bold above says it all. A true wrestling fan will watch ALL wrestling. Not just one brand. Those who do just don't have the know how to make certain comments.  ;)

Wrestling legend Kevin Nash is still at a legitimate impasse with TNA Wrestling over his status and future with the company.
Nash's TNA deal expired on October 12, according to his Twitter page.
He has yet to re-sign with the company and negotiations are reportedly at a stand-still.

The ProWrestling.net report claims Nash was offered a new contract at a reduced rate, a deal which Nash allegedly balked at.

He was currently getting 450,000 for doing absolutely nothing.

Personally, the "Diesel" gimmick was lame. I liked him in WCW as NWO. He kicked it up bigtime and was one of the sports biggest earners. Once WCW folded, he was done.

I have to admit his stuff with Hall was great, especially at the beginning.  nWo should have been kept to 5 or under members and it would have been FAR more interesting.

Hulk Hogan earned a lot of respect from the locker room for appearing at last week's television in spite of his ongoing back issues. That said, he was in great pain and unable to stand for long periods of time while backstage. The wrestling legend largely kept to himself, but was accompanied by longtime friends Ed Leslie (a/k/a Brutus Beefcake) and Jimmy Hart. For what it's worth, TNA has no plans to use Brutus Beefcake despite his claims to the contrary.

It says a lot about Hogan in regards to the "friends" he keeps, Hart, Beefcake, Knobbs, etc... are just lacky "yes men" who feed his overblown ego.

Beefcake was always a Hulkamania suck-up...

But he always had steady work with mediocre ability.

Beefcake's best on-air role would be ring crew.
