Did you guys know that MVP's arrival is finally it? The moment we have all been waiting for?
That's right. It's....."the moment that will change Impact Wrestling forever!"
Which is funny, because I remember hearing something similar to that when:
- Macho Man and Scott Hall arrived
- Sting Arrived
- Angle Arrived
- Christian Arrived
- Hulk Arrived
- Spike came into the fold
- Mick Foley the Investor arrived
- TNA moved to Monday Night
- TNA went on the Road
The point I'm trying to make is TNA over hypes almost everything, to a ridiculous and at times annoying point. It's like story lines never really end in TNA.

Does anyone, besides the IWC, even remember who MVP is?? He hasn't been seen in the WWE since, what? 2010? Who the hell cares about him being the new investor? He's not going to put butts in the seats. If Hogan couldn't make TNA number one, MVP isn't going to have much of a chance!

Yeah, TNA overhypes EVERYTHING that is supposed to make "history" only to fall flat on their asses. Last night when MVP came out, I was like "That's it?" That's what you hype two hours for. Now it's interesting that the investor is MVP. It's not something I would have guessed at first or expected, so I'll give it a chance. But there's no way TNA will come even close to competition for WWE. They're closer to bankruptcy than being a threat on WWE.

The way I feel now, its just he appeals to different people. While we may not like it, lots of people really wanted him in TNA and are happy.
Gonna have to see where it goes

If MVP is the new star that is going to save the tNA promotion, then TNA needs to go out of the business. I also hate how TNA does their reveal of new stars. They hype it up all night long and then the reveal is literally in the last 5 seconds of the show where someone comes out from behind the curtain just in time for the fade to black. They've done it before with others so its an old trick of theirs but it really cheats the fans. Its like that Star Trek: TNG episode that hyped the return of Spock. You waited all hour long and Spock shows up in the very last scene long enough to utter one line before we go to end credits.

Haha I liked nearly every post so far in this thread. I guess tna fanboys will applaud the move and think, wow tna is really gonna get better this time, but it's nothing but yet another desparate attempt by inept business people to garner a cheap pop that have no vision for their product. A year or two from now, if tna makes it that long, another long forgotten wwe reject will be brought in to change the face of the company again while tna continues to try to figure out what to do with the x division and how to give out more free tickets to fill a 100 seat sound studio. Frankly, I'm enjoying the comedy show:)

I actually think MVP is awesome.
And I'm sad he signed with TNA.

I'm all for TNA signing new talent. I beg for it. But MVP isn't what I had in mind. This will get old... fast.

Overhyping is done every week. Michael Cole calls the main event of Raw the biggest main event in the history of Raw every single week.

I won't argue with the WWE's hyping of certain main events as being the "best one ever in the history of said show." That's a fair point. But it NO WHERE near the level I'm discussing with TNA. I'm not trying to "take shots" at TNA. Or MVP for that matter, who I said I'd at least tune into a few episodes with him if he did join TNA. The fact is though, anyone that comes into TNA with an already established name, TNA almost pushes all the chips across the table, betting on that person and claiming it's going to revolutionize things. You know what would have been really surprising and something no one would have seen? Make the investor AJ Styles. But, of course, that would require TNA to give him the money he deserves. I'm not a manager or an owner or a contract/financial advisor, but without AJ Styles, there's not TNA today. If there's anyone that ACTUALLY deserves a raise, it'd be him. |

Still think this is a very good signing for TNA along with the American Wolves and other new talent their bring in.Yes MVP isn't a "A+Star" or "Legend" but real in the nearly 12 years that TNA has been around bring all types of guys that fall under that category none helped anyways.I think if used right i.e put in the main event scene he could be kind of a modern era version of when Christian jumped to TNA.Ya Christian had more name value coming over from WWE while MVP has been out of the national spotlight for about four years now.But what I mean is he's a guy that never got a fair shot at the main event scene back in the WWE.He's a pretty good talker,good in the ring,has a unique gimmick and is someone that will add to the product.

He's not going to put butts in the seats. If Hogan couldn't make TNA number one, MVP isn't going to have much of a chance! Hogan coming in catered to fans from the 80's and 90's that probably grew out of wrestling. Don't get me wrong, there are alot of Hulkamaniacs left, but some may not know about TNA. With that said, TNA doesn't do alot to get the word out. Social media sure, but as far as commercials... Unless its within the hour if Impact, you wouldn't see one. The issue here, is TNA needs a current star that is red hot. Case in point would be Jeff Hardy when he first showed up in TNA. He made a big impact and did bring over fans. At this point, they either need to make a homegrown star HUGE, or sign someone that literally will make an Impact, Punk woulf be that person. The booking pushed away fans. The ring pushed fans away. The in ring action being watered down has pushed away fans. TNA needs to go live weekley to builf a fan base. Reading spoilers for results kills the purpose of watching the show. |

I'm not a manager or an owner or a contract/financial advisor, but without AJ Styles, there's not TNA today. If there's anyone that ACTUALLY deserves a raise, it'd be him. I see both companies doing it. I dont see either one doing it more than the other. I do agree that TNA has a habit of pushing all these ex WWE guys right to the top. But one thing I learned in AJ's shoot interview.....that is Spike TV's doing. Evidently, it is Spike, as a part of the tv deal, that has required TNA to sign ex WWE guys and push them because those guys are stars that main stream wrestling fans know. They dont want a show full of TNA guys or indy guys b/c those guys will not generate ratings. So AJ warned that it isnt always Dixie that pushes someone, but its part of the Spike TV contract. A lot of people predicted the investor to be AJ. AJ, Sting, Jarrett are names I heard tossed around. AJ is contracted to ROH...so he isnt going to appear in TNA until that contract expires...which I hear is not till 2015. |

I like TNA...but they do too many battle for control of the company storylines, and way too many heel stable vs face stable storylines.

He's not going to put butts in the seats. If Hogan couldn't make TNA number one, MVP isn't going to have much of a chance!To be honest, MVP isn't there to put asses in seats. He's there as an attraction to casual fans, casual fans will see that guys likeSting is there and Angle and Hardy and are on the fence about going, then they see ATTRACTIONS like MVP and Ken Anderson and say to them selves "Okay I like Sting, Angle and Hardy alot and I remember MVP and Mr Kenndy from the WWE. I guess i'll check this company out. Also he's not there to make TNA the number one company, TNA right now is not trying to be the number 1 company and knock WWE off its throne like they were in 2010. 2009/2010 TNA is very different from the TNA right now. Now TNA is just trying to recover from all this crap in the past 4 years they were put threw with Hogan and MVP is there to just improve the product, not to be a guy that makes them #1. TNA didn't bring him thinking "Okay this is OUR GUY! This is the guy that will make our company #1." He coming in as an attraction and as someone who will just make the overall product better. |

They remembered who he was alright. |

Every wrestling promotor in the history of Wrestling overhypes stuff. When a match on Raw has a nearfall Cole says, "Wow what a match"  |
