^I think TNA would be better served signing, I dunno actual wrestlers. Doing stupid ass things like that signing Bobby Knight would continue to help my arugument as to why TNA can't and won't pass the WWE. Signing someone like Knight would probably give them record ratings for one night. Everyone would think it was a huge sucess then the next week when they would have horrible ratings. It would be a huge shock thing for one night then it would fade and no one would care. I will admit though if he did sign I would watch it once, but probably not again after that.

^So you are saying that if the WWE signed him, you would come on here and say you wouldn't watch it b/c you don't care about him in wrestling?
In no way am I liking the sound of this Knight stuff, but for you to say that is just stupid. Don't tell me you wouldn't be jumping for joy if this was the WWE, b/c you would be

hell no... i wouldnt stop watching wwe but i wouldnt go out of my way to watch it... id probably end up watching it if it was on raw but i dont watch smackdown or ecw usually so i probably wouldnt see it...
^I wouldn't be jumping for joy cuz it's Blue. Would I watch? Absolutely. But, I have only missed 1 Raw over the past year and a half and that was because I went to the Indians-Red Sox ALCS game. So it definitely wouldn't make me watch anymore and I wouldn't stop watching, but I think it would be dumb. My point is that it won't make me watch TNA, cuz I don't really watch it now, more than once just to see what they did with it.
I was at game 3. It was pretty sweet cuz we got this cheap indian headdress things and we were on Fox before the game started, like when they pan the crowd. Then we went to go back to our car channel 11 news was at the lot we were parked so they interviewed us on the news. Plus the tickets were free cuz my friend's dad has season tickets. So it was a pretty amazing night overall, haha.

Look, its never a bad idea to sign a celeb from another sport, tv, movies or whatever for a plublicity rub. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. WWE did if for years. Its not a big deal. I mean we had Mike Tyson, we've had Ben Stiller put in the figure four by Jeff Jarrett on Smackdown once, we even had much to everyones suprise the very sucsessful Kevin Federline. Some work well (like the K-Fed & Tyson), some people don't really remember, (like the Ben Stiller). The catch is, you have to make sure your using them properly. Getting Bobby Knight is not a bad idea. But to bring him in permanently might be a little silly. Bringing him in for one or two appearences to maybe help put someone over or to be a celeb manager for someone, again that might be okay. But to bring him in permanently as the Coach of TNA, seems dumb.
As someone said, it could get some plublicity from ESPN and so forth. Just as when they had the thing with the Chicago White Sox. It gave them a little press, but ultimately they are small gains. This is why it should usually be a one shot deal with non wrestlers. Because anything else is probably too much for little gain.

^I didn't know they were going to be there. I might have to check it out. I went to Raw at the Q and it was awesome. I also went to Smackdown/ECW in youngstown and it was pretty cool. I think there's a PPV, No Mercy I think, at the Q this year that I'm probably going to go to.
Sorry it was Unforgiven. Anyway I'm kind of with enigma on that one, money is a little tight at the moment. If it was Raw that'd be a different sitaution, but since it's only SD!/ECW, I doubt I'll shell out the cash for it.
