TNA Backstage: Christian not happy? Locker Room reputations

-- Christian is said to be somewhat difficult behind the scenes in TNA lately in relation to how he’s being booked. Dixie Carter’s offer to release anyone at the recent backstage meeting is viewed as possibly being aimed at calling Christian’s bluff.

-- An ironic note in regards to the Kevin Nash/Samoa Joe heat stemming from Joe’s shoot promo at Turning Point is that Nash is one of the key people who pushed hard for a long time to get TNA to sign Samoa Joe when he was in ROH. Nash was a big fan of Joe’s ROH matches he saw on DVD. Despite his past, Nash has built a stellar reputation backstage in TNA for not being involved in any politics, showing up on time, doing what he is told, and setting an example for younger wrestlers.

-- Brother Ray is another veteran who is getting rave reviews backstage despite his checkered locker room reputation. He has also been heavily involved in coming up with ideas for the Team 3D/X Division feud and is said to be willing to bend over backwards to make sure the X Division guys look good to their critics.

Its only a matter of time before Christian is back in the WWE.

He should go back. He is slowly but surely being pushed back to the TNA midcard. He might as well be a midcarder wrestling in front of millions of fans a year and making more money.

What's wrong with Samoa Joe? It was Kevin Nash that gave him the break he needed when he was in ROH.

As for Christian Cage again I don't get it, does he want to leave TNA or is he un-happy with his on-screen character? As Cenamark said, it's just a matter of time before Christian Cage leaves TNA.

I wouldn't go giving Nash too much credit here. The WWE wanted to sign Joe as well. I read somewhere they offered contracts to Joe, Punk, and Danielson and only Punk chose to take the WWE up on its offer.

I think Joe will eventually be in the WWE as well.

it's only a matter of time....but unless they really fuck Joe over he won't be going to WWE....but then again Dixie Carter could probably fuck him over....as far as Christian is concerned he's not going back to WWE anytime soon if ever

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

C'mon. Joe might ask for forgiveness, but time after time he tends to indicates he wants to leave TNA.

Yes he said he was sorry, but he still challenged Dixie Carter to fire him.

And remember how much time he delayed negotiating his contract, and it was not a fact of money, it was him being mad at his booking and his treatment. In fact, I don't know if he re-signed with TNA already.

It is a matter of time before Samoa Joe gets finally tired and quits TNA.


Christian Cage is returning to WWE, and it will happen to increase his ego, to see, now that he is a star, how will the big company treat him.

Yeah, considering he's in the Main Event picture right now. I understand where your coming from, but he's definetly not in the mid card. You do realizes that people have to get pushes away from the title right? So b/c he faced Joe, Kaz, and Booker, he's in the mid-card? I dont think so.

If Christian goes back to the WWE, well, no comment.

^I would definitely welcome Christian back to the WWE. I've only watched TNA a couple of times, but he's usually the highlight of the show I see. So hopefully TNA pisses him off and he turns away from the dark side haha

Peep, what would you do if Christian went to the WWE?

God no. O man, I cant even imagine. Just trust me, it's not gunna happen any time soon. I think that if the ratings dont pick up substantially within the next year or two, he may go back. IDK, like I said, no comment.

 

[Tsaalyo Phoenix]

Christian and Joe are being huge babies if they want to leave TNA because of booking. You can't be in heavyweight championship matches in every show.

 

[the last gunslinger]

no but Joe has been booked pretty bad lately at least up until the last two or three weeks....and Joe hasn't been happy in a while whether that might make him leave TNA for WWE I don't know....and Peepshow you may have no comment but I honestly believe you might cry if Christian left TNA but the again you might then mark for WWE

 

[Vandy316]

oh hell yeah, Christian back in WWE, c'mon and leave

 

[Great One]

No offense, but Christian doesn't belong in TNA. He BELONGS in the WWE, like it or not, and it feels like a young, talented guy like him is being completely wasted if he's not there, where he belongs.

I never said he was a midcarder now. I said eventually he will be pushed back to the midcard. The more "big names" TNA signs, the less use they will have for him as a main eventer.

Also, I disagree with your characterization of main event and mid card. The main event is almost always revolved around the title. The title holder and his challenger(s) are the main attraction (usually) thus it is the main event. In the traditional setting, all other matches/fueds are mid and low card. Traditionally, if you are pushed away from the title, you have been pushed down the card. Like any situation, there are exceptions. Big names can be main eventers without holding a title or even being in consideration for one. These are the draws who don't need a title to be the main attraction. Christian Cage is not in this catagory. If Chistian is pushed away from the title hunt he will be in mid card feuds and right now, if that happens which I think it will, he will have a harder time getting a main event spot back then he did when he first entered TNA.
