They are trying to relive the late 80's early 90's and they forget that these guys are very old now. They can't have those caliber matches anymore.

I thought that the WCW PPV between Hogan & Piper was the end for that generation.
Hulkster really surprised me when he came into his WM18 match in phenomenal shape and had a fantastic showing with Rock - at least by both men's standards.

The last time I saw Hogan & Flair in the ring was when they faced each other the night TNA debuted live on Monday night.
It was a tag match with, I think, Styles & Abyss.
Usually, tag matches are forgiving, as they can cover up weak spots of certain participants.
There was no covering anything here; both Hogan & Flair looked awful.

Whether Sting works with Hogan or Nature Boy, my faith has been destroyed.
Sorry.

Sting / Hogan / Flair should take backstage roles only and stay out of the limelight. They should be helping Dixie Carter on how to make her product better.

And, that input might be better if they are NOT on the active roster.

That's always been a pitfall for guys who book AND wrestle.
Not that you can blame them.
I don't think there's a guy alive who wouldn't book themselves to go over.
It's just genetically encoded in everyone.

Whilst in WCW i do recall Nash booking himself to get beaten by Rey as he thought it made good business sense to do so. If only there was more of that in the industry

He did... it was a quick finish that put Rey over... I remember that match.

Sting is the youngest of the group I think... definitely in the best shape of the bunch. Never had any major injuries.

I just think Flair and Hogan need to be characters... not in ring people.

TNA has unveiled the logo with their new name:

The "Impact Wrestling" name will replace "TNA"/"Total Nonstop Action" this month.
The company has also activated their new website: http://www.impactwrestling.com - which, for now, redirects you to the existing TNA website.

Finally, TNA IS USING the ring name Chyna for Joanie Lauer's character.

I'd rather step on a rusty nail with my bare foot than take any chances with Chyna.

I dunno... It's a toss up. They both have good and bad points.

pwinsider-

For months now on his twitter (dablackpope), D'Angelo Dinero has been posting "5-13-11" repeatedly. Today he posted:

"My time has come, It's time to move on. I've served well. Hope none has been disappointed; hope my hard work has been Applauded&Appreciated."

At the moment, he is still listed on the TNA roster page.

Karen still looks great, but she was extremely edible about 7 or 8 years ago.

She appeared in the ring when Kurt won the big belt in his hometown.
Gorgeous face and body; outstanding.

I think he could do well in the wwe if they give him another shot like Ron Killings got.

And look how good Killings is doing now.

TNA star Hulk Hogan recently made an appearance on "The LAW" radio show and had the following to say:

"A lot of it [TNA's problems] has to do with awareness and the fact that we can get to the people. If I go into my hotel room in Chicago there are certain cable networks that are on like USA Network - there is no Spike TV. I mean a lot of it depends on who you can get to and who you can reach there is a lot more than 'the fans aren't buying it' there is more to the equation and that's a very shallow statement and that's not a fact. The people that see it are buying it, there just aren't enough people seeing it. That's what it is - it's creating awareness, a marketing plan we have to work with Spike TV and boost them up the ladder. I don't know how many cable networks there are in the States if it's 25 or 35 but in the paper it shows you who the top ten are so if we can get Spike up to that number one position the whole equation would change on how many people are buying it and change the equation and someone wouldn't say 'no one is buying it' well the people that are seeing it are buying it so it's creating that awareness to make people more aware that the product is there and that they can get it and when they walk into a hotel in Brantford that Spike is available."
