The place so nice they named it twice...new york,
Rikishi is expected to start working with TNA in late August or early September. Another star who is expected to debut for TNA soon is Giant Bernard, the former A-Train. Bernard is the tag team partner of Tomko in New Japan. Bill Banks even mentioned Bernard and Tomko being IWGP Tag Team champions on the TNA website this weekend.

good lord more big men in TNA...im starting to feel like im watching WWE TV all over again... what's your thoughts?

Signing two over the hill guys who were never good in the first place doesn't exactly help matters. It seems as if TNA is just signing names, for the sake of signing people. This will flop, as will the Test aquisition.

Aright Rikishi should absolutely not enter TNA but I wouldnt mind A-Train as I have always liked him and think he's pretty good for a man that size. They just dont need him though, they brought in Test and should end it there. THey think they need all this new talent for when they get 2 hours, but there bringing in bad talent.

What TNA don't realise is they already got enough talent for 2 hours and don't need any more. The reason I thought they were getting two hours is because they could use all their talent but with all these useless signings, people like Robert Roode, Petey Williams and Chris Harris are going to suffer for it.

TNA are drowning out the new talent with useless wrestlers like Rikishi.

Well... atleast if they get A-Train TNA will have a decent chant to shout...lol!

& also add to the allready improving tag division slowly with Bernard & Tomko who are IGP tag champs...

As for Kish, man! This feels like The Attitude Era all over again for TNA now... lol!! But in all hounest, i don't think they should sign him atall!... he's past it, never had it & really shoudln't even be mentioned on TNA TV!

Rikishi.. What the hell. IMO TNA is for smalled guys, not heavy guys like him. A-Train will be another Abyss, trainwrecking people.. With Tomko. I hope they turn on Cage and Styles.

TNA does not need Rikishi, Why would they be thinking of bringing him in, This just holds down the likes of AJ, Daniels and Harris ect.ect. TNA needs to be careful, The product that got people excited about TNA(myself inc) is in danger of being whored out to so called names.

If you notice all of these guys going to tna are big guys who didnt make it in the wwe main event. But when they go to tna they get better so ina way its a good move for all of them. They need as much star power as they can get at the moment.

Guys TNA is getting ready for their 2 hour upgrade in the fall...DONT WORRY no one will get buried that bad...but TNA is just going to try to make their rosters filled to the max....I dont understand Test/Morgan/A Train/Kishi/Bandaras but w/e dont worry itll all be ok.

Both those guys were so stupidly boring, especially A-train, I hope to god those guys don't come to TNA. Test is where it should end, unless it's a really big name with some actual talent.

I would love to see Giant bernard get a shot. Him and Tomko make a pretty decent tag team. Rikishi I couldn't care any less what they do with him because I will change the channel.

Rikishi in TNA, why did they sign the guy in the first place? Tomko, A-Train all big huge Monsters that TNA don't need.
They just threw out the X-Division. :(

Rikishi was ok when he was apart of The Headshrinkers lol And it really seems like TNA and IWGP have a working relationship now. Next up Steiners vs A-Train and Tomko that would be an ok matchup.

Am I the only one happy about Rikishi going to TNA? - IDC! He was one of my favorites in WWF.

And Albert wasnt even that bad, and if you think about it, it aint a bad move, he can be tag partners with Tomko...Woot-Woot

Oh, and if you guys didnt know, i think someone said something about signing the others in "Too Cool" , i dont remember where i heard that though.
