TNA Rebrand Discussion Thread

But actually it was Bubba the Love Sponge

The thing with professional wrestling is, I don’t always think it’s necessarily the fault of the creative when shit goes bad more so I think sometimes certain people are bad fits for certain brands. Like I think Bischoff when he was on it, and he cared was the reason why WCW was successful. But he just didn’t fit TNA, and he didn’t understand it.

Same thing with a Russo in WCW. The WCW fans didn’t like what Russo had to offer and WCW management themselves didn’t understand how to create an environment to make a russo successful like he would be in other places.

And even with Paul Heyman in WWE to a lesser degree. While I disagree personally as I personally thought he booked a pretty great SmackDown 2003 and thought his Raw 2019 was better than anything they had been doing up to that point the WWE felt differently, and it just didn’t work out either time.

It didn't work out because his boss was a man who doesn't understand wrestling

But yeah I think we're getting off topic. The name TNA is good, it's getting people hype

Bubba the Love Sponge got rid of Awesome Kong, so he killed that

They should get that Kaval guy from OG NXT, because if I remember correctly, he was the only reason for Total Nonstop Action.

I hear he retired after he quit WWE in 2011, he's living a pretty low key life nowadays

General TNA, Impact, TNA PPV, Impact Plus…

Those sound like the words of someone who's about to have the beginning of a start of a moment of genesis

Low Ki still smashing fools in Amazing Red’s old promotion.

I’d be down for Ki showing up at Hard to Kill.

Preferably with the Senshi name and no Hitman gimmick, imo

He’s made a couple non hitman appearances in HOG so it’s possible and I agree. I don’t care for it.
