iMPACT Wrestling 06/06/13 Live Discussion - Rampage In The House

[Cwalker]

I'm disappointed in the Rampage signing. I like him as a MMA fighter, but I don't know what he can contribute in the ring. I was hoping it was Morrison or even a Chris Masters

I just don't know how this crossover deal will work. He is going to need a few months to train for each fight and so won't be around much and he will need quite a bit of training before he is ready in the ring. If he had signed full time with TNA it would have been one thing but I don't know how it will go with him working with three companies.

I was also hoping that a wrestling company would sign a professional wrestler as their big signing.

I think he's going to end up just like King Mo. How long has he been with the company and the only appearance he made was at BFG last year? Doubt he'll contribute too much

 

[Ben]

Amazing how over Joe is even more amazing how TNA has just booked him like crap.

 

[Troy]

I think that King Mo has been signed for a year and he only had his first OVW match last month. Going to be a long process.

Good to see Samoa Joe in the Series instead of Robbie E, can't see him winning it this year but is a solid hand in there.

 

[Cwalker]

Joe is one of those guys that TNA doesn't know what to do with so they just throw him into the BFG series every year

 

[Troy]

Can't stand this cameraman, get some steady hands and stop shaking so much.

 

[Ben]

Still don't see the point in the TNA HOF and it doesn't help that the first 2 guys in it are both guys that really are more remembered for there time elsewhere.

I think Kurt is 50/50 on where he's remembered more. Sure, he made his name in WWE, but he's been with TNA longer and has had as much/if not more success since coming over in '06.

I do agree with you 100% about Sting though

That and both guys are still active wrestlers in the company. Unfortunately most of the guys that deserve it purely for their TNA work still have many years left in the ring so I can't see them getting in for years.

 

[Ben]

Yea I don't mind Angle so much...but still it should of been Jarett and then AJ to guys that have been there since day one and really you associate them with TNA

Yea the fact that they put in active guys is weird to, but really only being around for a little over a decade they don't have the option to put in retired guy, which kind of shows they jumped the gun.

 

[Cwalker]

I remember reading a report about 6 months ago that TNA has heat with Jeff Jarrett and that's why he's not in the Hall or really associated with the company.

Again it was a dirt sheet report, so take it for what it's worth.

 

[Troy]

Here we go, lets see how Rampage goes with his first promo. Do we assume that Aces & Eights will come out and interrupt him?

 

[Ben]

Knew they would put him in some sort of program with Angle.
