What do you think of TNA's new signings. With Booker T kinda being the Kurt Angle type signing of '07 and some of the new recent additions I think TNA are doing great but I'm worried about the size of the roster, people were worrying about getting everyone on the show before and now just makes it worse. Here's my opinion on some of the signings:

Booker T: Good/Bad?
As I said this guy is the Kurt Angle signing of '07 and although his signing didn't seem as "big" as I was expecting TNA still got a world class wrestler in their roster. Booker may be getting on a bit now but he has can make TNA's shows be a bit more unique eather than having the same stuff all the time. Tbh I ca't see him being in TNA for a long time but if he is then it could be pretty good for TNA. The TNAtion of Domintion is looming too now: Booker, Cryme Tyme (they gotta join sooner or later), Ron Killings and Jay Lethal.

RELLIK: Good/Bad?
I am a huge fan of him and I think he can have quite a few good midcard feuds once the Abyss business is done and could be some new blood TNA need right now and I can see him getting a good push if his first few months are good and could be the mnoster heel TNA need right now while Judas is away. I could see this guy being "darker" than all the other heels and be reminiscent of Undertakers early days if TNA use him proprerly but then again things may go pear shaped and he'll end up on Xplosion.

Consequences Creed: Good/Bad?
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to say this kid isn't a good signing. I was amazed by his abilities at bound For Glory after thinking he was just gonna be like a sorta joke but I really got into his wrestling skills but I can't see him being a success in TNA. I can see him having a role where he can beat guys like Shark Boy and Sonjay Dutt easily but get the shit kicked out of him by samoa Joe and Abyss in squash matches.

Scott Hall: Good/Bad?
I'm personally not that much of a fan of Scott Hall and his toothpicks and he doesn't have the ability to make TNA the company it wants to be. All I think TNA wanted to do with him was to reunite The Outsiders so they can try and attract all the NWO fans. I haven't seen him in the ring recently so I'm not gonna judge whether he's past it or not but if he is I don't think I can bare to watch him and Nash team up against thel ikes of Team 3D and The Steiner Bro's...

I'll add a couple more later...

^ Who's Rellik? Who's Consuquences Creed? If you ask me, Booker T is the only normal signing. :)

Creed is great, you should see his indy work. I think he will take over Pac-Man's spot and team with Ron Killings, I could see him being over just as well as Jay Lethal. He's the best signing if you ask me, atleast he's a fresh young star, we've been saying it forever, TNA needs to create new stars...right?

Creed is great though but I wanna see Booker T and The Truth form a tag team. I just wanna see their tag team division crush WWE's.

TNA's tag division is crushing WWE's. The Steiners and Team 3D are holding them back though and all TNA need to do is sign cryme Tyme and then they will dominate WWE's tag division. MCMG, XXX and LAX > Cade N' Murdoch, Deuce and Domino and L&K.

Booker T: Solid 8.5/10
It's not like they really needed him, but good to see good old Booker T not King Booker back in Pro Wrestling, let alone TNA, it's a great signing.

Rellik: ?/10
Who the fuck is this?

Creed: 1/10
I doubt we will ever see this man again.

Scott Hall: 6.5/10
Well, I know this man can't wrestle, I guess they can use him on screen.

TNA needed a new top guy.

Rellik: 8/10
JOHNNY STAMBOLI's new character just might help out my BFF Black Reign at Turning Point.

Creed: 1/10
I hope he makes a "surprise" appearance like in the Saw series!

Who even is this? Is he the guy that teamed with Killings? I knew it!

Scott Hall: 5/10
What XBA said.

ooooohhhhhhh Rellik is Stamboli? Dude that guy used to be my hero when he was in the FBI, that guy is a total player, but I don't know how many more monsters TNA could stand.

Johnny the Bulls "new" character isnt "new" at all. He's been using the Redrum gimmick in NJPW & AJPW for a while now, its based the Great Muta gimmick. Notice how Redrum is murder spelled backwards, the name he's using now (Rellik) is Killer spelled backwards...I say Redrum is better, but TNA doesnt own the rights to it.

LMAO! Don't forget about Arbok!

Arbok = Korbra spelled in Chinese form, which is the evolved form of the snake Pok'emon that is owned by Team Rocket called Ekans, that XBA mentioed!

Anyways, yeah Stamboli came back to TNA and is aiding Black Reign.

that is such bull crap then, are we going to see yet another multiple man Abyss beat down? I mean this guy gets the shaft again and again. You get Rellik and Reign on Abyss and I have to say...well this is going to be great TV just like the rest of Abyss' beat downs lol

Well here's my 2 cents...

Bookah T - A good signing for the moment, I would like to see him there put over talents who needs a much deserved push then have one great match before retiring...

Rellik - Though The Bull is badass and shit, TNA will have too many wrestlers with monster type gimmicks... Abyss, Mesias and Black Reign is more than enough else the gimmick becomes less unique... Maybe if he was repackaged as something else or be in a monster tag team it may work for a while, still like my opinion on Bookah, this guy should be used to put other people over...

Creed - Well I'm all for this guy getting a chance, his team up with Ron Killings was not bad and If TNA has no plans for Killings in the Heavyweight division, Creed and Truth can be a serious contender for the tag titles... Unfortunately comedy or parody characters rarely if not never ever make it to main event status... >.>

Scott Hall - ..........(INSERT HUGE WAVE OF APATHY HERE!!!).......... Seriously I really don't see much of a point to hire him, I think TNa is just throwing money away. Sure he has a centain recognition and name recall to old fans but so does Booker...
