TNA Expansion

[Dylanfsd]

Well I see it is kinda getting out of control with a lot of names being thrown around, so I'll make this thread for a centralized place to talk about all the names being thrown around.

Test, Matt Morgan, Albert, Rikishi, Brian Christopher or Scotty 2 Hotty, I forgot, Goldust/Platinum, Adam Pacman Jones. There are a lot of names being thrown around right now.

What this indicates to me is, there is something big on the horizon for TNA. I don't think this is the gloom or doom scenario that most people seem to make it out to be. I think this is the first step of the Fox 4 hour deal being done.

This is a massive expansion guys, and it looks like there is going to be a real difference to the X-Division and Heavyweights. With this massive amount of heavyweight talent, rejects if you want to call them that, but I won't, you will probably see less of the X-Division getting fed to the heavyweights.

I for one, think this is great news if this turns out to be the case. I can't see any other scenario that would lead to TNA signing or attempting to sign close to ten guys all at once.

Thoughts...

TNA's roster is big enough as it is and most of the names you've brought up aren't that good of wrestlers and won't make much of a difference so I don't really see why you're getting so happy for because you're expecting so much but when it comes it will be a huge dissapointment. Think about it, every single name you brought up apart from pacman has been in WWE.

The only reason why your saying there arent big names is because you probaly only saw them in WWe.WWe ruined them by giving most of them crappy gimmicks.Truthfully WWe left most of them in the shadows.That's why in TNA there probally gonna shine alot more, I mean most of them are good wrestlers, just havent show seen much out of them.Hopefully be way more successful then when they were in TNA.And btw signing pacman was a good idea, he probally will be huge in tna, but im not even sure if the man can wrestle

Well it's obvious TNA is trying to stock up on talent for their new deal this fall, but what I don't agree with is WHO they are stocking up on, and Switchy makes a good point those aforementioned wrestlers are all former WWE employees (except for Pacman, but I doubt he'll be wrestling), and aren't that great in the ring, not to mention none of them has big enough star power to bring TNA to the next level. IMO TNA is just waisting money that they don't have on useless "talent" when they should be pursuing good wrestlers, and people who have star power.

Test will probably be pushed to the ME at the expense of real talnet like AJ Styles or Robert Roode, that's the thing that will bug me most.

Here's how i see it:

Test: Could be in the CC or feud with Christian, it would work they're canadian so it would work

Albert: Tag him with Tomko they're tag champs in Japan or w/e

Rikishi: No....nuff said

Matt Morgan: I love this guy, with the right gimmick he could be huge. He's got tremendous strength (F5ed Big Show) he reminds me of Lesnar maybe Angles protege?

Brian Christopher: I like this guy with a Brian Christopher gimmick, just plain old wrestling to "Sexay" shit, let him talk about his family and his importance in wrestling

S2H: No the Worm got stale the second time he used it

That's how i see it, lots of chances for people to join the CC and it wont bump down styles or roode. It can be a smaller version of the nwo (not to the full nwo extent though)

Leader- Christian
Mid Card- Styles and Roode
Enforcers/Tag Team- Albert and Tomko

If they get 2 hours and get one more title then Cage-World Title, Styles-X Division, Roode-Mid Card title, and Albert/Tomko- Tag Team Belts. Against them could have Sting, Abyss, Test(have a storyline that Test is getting revenge on Cage for something and maybe a heel turn later on), TNA is really needing some faces, maybe Jarrett. They could have some singles and tag matches until Genesis when it all blows up with a huge maybe 10 man elimination tag match. Winning team stays or both have to break up no matter what. Then that can lead to AJ and Christian still buddying around while Test and Cage go at it for about a month and then the huge AJ face turn that gives him, hopefully, a world title push.

Most of those guys mentioned...are losers, TNA doesn't need them at all, they are good the way they are, especially Albert, he shaves a collar around his neck out of his own body hair, disgusting.

 

[straight_edge76]

The only person IMO who has any talent at all is Rikishi, once you get past the 400 lb dude in a thong thing lol. Other then that they are all worthless

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

Test: Steroid jerk

Albert: No talented monster

Rikishi: Fat not talented ass-stinky man.

Too Cool(S2H and BL): They didn't work originally, why do the re-run would work.

Matt Morgan: The only one with talent, still not shining in the wrestling world.

With all the respect for TNA fans, if TNA plans its "Extension" with these wrestlers, they are in serious problems. If they were talking about RVD, Jericho, Lesnar and Goldberg, then that would be something, but if Kurt Angle haven't done anything, why would Platinum do more?

 

[ncryan10]

i hope tna doesnt sign alotta those guys. tna need to sign people like nigel mcgunnies, people from japan and idlike to see justice pain

 

[The Showstopper]

TNA should get 2 shows one 1 hour the other one 2 hours so they can fit everyone in and sign new people.

 

[Rated RJC]

^ 2 hours the more shows the worse the overall product imo. Although Raw and SD back in the day when all the same people were on was cool.

 

[Weebo]

yes this will be big, plus TNA is talking to Fox about getting another weekly show to air on FX, th thing tho is that Fox would like it to be a live show and possibly two hours. But Fox has said if it needs to be one hour to have it live then that would be alright.

 

[whotook316]

Test, Albert, Rikishi, Brian Christopher, Scotty 2 Hotty? - I don't want to see any of these guys on TNA. I'd rather watch the exciting new talent they've that never seem to get any time on impact. If the TNA signs these old WWE has beens then impact will just get worse.

 

[catacomb31]

There is a reason there not in the WWE anymore. Lawler didn't help keep B.C. in the WWE...Why should TNA hire an old tiresome 90's gimmick team even if they repackaged them.
