News Magnus, Joe and Roode Re-Sign with TNA Wrestling

[louissiscool]

AJ always has been Jarrett's boy, with him back there's no way they'll let Styles out of the pocket. Let Sting go the WWE to make some big money and have the match that every fan wants to see before he hangs up the boots.

But it seems to me he has fallen out of favour a bit because i swear its been a very long time since he has been heavyweight champion but then he might win it at BFG so we will shall see.

What little buzz TNA has had in 2013 was surrounding AJ Styles and his storyline. The AJ character shift was way bigger news than Bully winning the Title IMHO. It generated legitimate hype we rarely seem to get from TNA.

Now, they've seemingly lost that momentum somewhere along the way, but they were trying. I expect he will be champion again soon, if not then at least sometime in 2014.

I would actually be interested to see the fan split on fans that do/do not want to see Sting/Taker at this point. The more time that passes the less appealing it becomes

I would say the purists who watch wwe every week without fail and always love wrestling will say they dont want it but if WWE promotes that match alot it will bring people whjo maybe dont follow wrestling anymore and used to watch it when they wear younger during the monday night wars if they get that match and stone cold vs CM punk so they can 100% out do this years mania in terms of buyrate and such.

The magazine says one high-profile talent has verbally dismissed the new contract offer. Who could it be? I'm hearing Bischoff is on his way out in October, and it could Hogan too.

Doubt it's anyone like Jeff Hardy or Bully Ray, tbh. Jarrett loves those two.

Hardy said once he prefers TNA because they allow him to do more things than he could in WWE so I don't think he wants to leave TNA

I agree that it would have meant a lot more two years ago, but c'mon, it is still the match that always should have happened. No matter how long it took to make, it will draw in a shitload of ex fans who stopped watching somewhere around '05/'06 and Sting is the only opponent for Taker that would garner legitimate mainstream attention with his arrival in the WWE. It is the match in wrestling today, like it or not you'll make sure that you won't miss it.

Ugh. Kinda want Joe to move on to WWE now to be honest.

Weed, pills, blow, Blue moves off of ladders... wonder what I'm missing.

The build and entrances would leave me marking like a child. The match itself would have me covering my eyes in horror.

Half assed music career and doing paintings on acid?

WWE doesn't want Samoa Joe because he's overweight.
AJ Styles doesn't want to go to WWE.
WWE failed to sign Roode when his contract expired back in April.
Sting is afraid to go to WWE because all the former WCW talents get buried on-screen.
Jeff Hardy doesn't want to go to WWE because of the schedule.

Deal with it.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Like it would be hard for WWE to say "hey Joe, we think you are great but lose the tits!"

 

[Stopspot]

Considering how WWE has changed their opinion on independent wrestlers I wouldn't say Joe being signed because of his size is impossible anymore. Plus with the amount of friends in high places he has (Bryan, Punk, Cena) if push came to show they could probably plead his case well.

Still unlikely, but I wouldn't call it impossible.

If he was willing to lose lets say 30lbs the past 5 yrs, don't you think he would already do so? He had a chance to go there in 2010, they rejected his ass. Whose fault? His obviously.

If they rejected his ass then he didn't really have a chance to go there, did he? I've seen numerous reports on multiple occasions saying WWE doesn't want Joe, and it seems to me it is more than a weight issue because that is such an easy thing to fix.

Great to know those guys re-signed, I enjoy watching them.
