I hope they let go Roode for having worn Terry Taylor's robe in his early years. If Rooster still gets crap, the guy who wears the robe of the guy who played Rooster should get crapped on too. I hope Aries gets let go for his crotch in Hemme's face action. That's something Shawn Michaels would have done during his DX run. Guys a medium sized fish in a small pond and he acts like the greatest wrestler who's ever lived. If he were to get hired by WWE I'd enjoy ANOTHER DX-lite reunion of Shawn and Hunter doing a superkick/pedigree and sending Aries along the way quicker than Buff Bagwell. HAHAHAHAHA You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. That was cute, though.

Roode and Aries are two of my favs in TNA, i don't want to see either go. TNA is wasting their talent.

HAHAHAHAHA You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. That was cute, though.[/quote] I know that a bunch of TNA wrestlers are medium to big sized fish in a small pond and seem to have such egos. To me, many of them are boring. From what I've read about the meet and greets, the heels like Roode and Aries kept to kayfabe outside of wrestling, thinking it all really mattered. Maybe if it was Batista or Randy Orton, big timers in a big time company, keeping kayfabe would be important. Not Roode or Aries though. As for Buff, we all read about how he got a big reaction when Vince mentioned his name on the last Nitro episode of Raw. When TNA goes out of business, if Vince mentions names of TNA wrestlers and Roode, Aries or many guys who aren't a WWE original is mentioned, you can probably hear a pin drop. Jim Neidhart!*** To parphrase the Dos Equis commercial "I don't always watch TNA, but when I do, I'm bored out of my mind." I watch a few minutes, whether it's a promo or a match and within minutes I change the channel. I can't take it. I'm a wrestling fan, I'm an entertainment fan. TNA provides very little. I watched one of Hogan's last episodes where he and Aries were on a couch and laughed so hard at Aries speaking with Hogan. Forget about the same "class." Aries isn't even in the same school as Hogan yet from everything I've seen or read of him, he thinks he's the entire top 10 of wrestling. The segment was laughable, Aries was so wooden and boring, seemed like a scared kid trying to ask out his crush. A guy like Edge could make a segment with Hogan work. Not Aries. As for the Christy Hemme incident, there's some things that shouldn't be part of the show. I get if a crotch shot were part of his gimmick but in his case it was probably ego. Again, thinking he's a big fish in a small pond. Someone on this board noted how they thought TNA was like an indy fed pretending to be WCW. To me, TNA is a backyard fed pretending to be an indy fed pretending to be WCW and that's pretty generous. When the history books are written, Dixie will be judge appropriately. When the final update edition of the WWE Encyclopedia is published, you won't see Roode or Aries. I'm sure we may, however, find them part of Wrestlecrap's "Death of TNA" book. ***Who?

Are you done rambling on about useless crap? Thanks. Just look at the number of threads between WWE and TNA. TNA has about 1/10th the threads a day that WWE gets, maybe less. That's not necessarily because WWE has been around longer, it's more the fact that TNA has done nothing since inception to show that they deserve to be with the big boys. By this point TNA should be merged with the "other feds" board. There's always going to be those that are great, a few that are the greatest and those that, as Simon Cowell said of an Idol contest "you just aren't good enough." Those are a lot of guys in TNA. Most being the originals. How about all the people who want so much for a legend like Sting or Angle to finish their career with WWE? It's not a case of Sting has wrestled so many placed but WWE and it's not a case of Angle was most popular in WWE. It's a case of the fan not wanting to see these two legends finish the last big part of their career in, basically, an indy fed. That TNA happens to have a TV show doesn't not make it an indy fed. WXO had a TV show and though it last a short time, if it had last 10+ years would it still, basically, not be an indy fed?

WXO had a TV show and though it last a short time, if it had last 10+ years would it still, basically, not be an indy fed? Man, you are absolutely delusional. I hope the 1980's in your username isn't the years of wrestling you enjoyed most and are still stuck in that era. TNA has 1/10th of the threads because of multiple reasons. WWE has been around 40 more years than they have and have done a LOT more in those 50 years to revolutionize professional wrestling. They have an entire network worth of material, as well as 5 hours (8 if you count Main Event, Superstars and NXT) of TV each week, compared to TNA's 2. Do I think WWE is currently heaps and bounds better than TNA? Absolutely. The current product and the possible future product show that itself. Majority of the "TNA Originals" came from the same upbringings as guys like Bryan, Punk, Cesaro, etc. When that time came, TNA was a better option for Joe, Styles, Sabin, Shelley, etc. as for guys like Roode and Storm... those guys could have a career in the WWE, with some tuning. They have great ring psychology and understand the business enough to be a top guy. People want to see guys like Angle and Sting in the WWE for fantasy matches. Angle has physically worked a program with everyone on the TNA roster and has held every title there is to... pretty much same thing with Sting. There's nothing left to do for either of them. People don't care to see Angle end his career in the WWE, other than to see him face the incredible talent they currently have. As for Sting, people only care to see Sting/Taker... nothing more, nothing less.

If there is a Team Canada reunion, Coach D'Amore NEEDS to be there. It just wouldn't feel right without him. If he returned to booking... Happy Happy Joy Joy, Happy Happy Joy.

D'Amore wouldn't be needed, at this stage. The point was him coaching 4 young talents in a faction. Building their future from the ground up.
Young, Roode and Williams could be a trio on their own.
Face Team Canada vs. MVP/Lashley/King... for control of TNA, Lethal Lockdown. Hahaha

Damn, I didn't know Christy posted here. Aries is the best thing in TNA, and has been for a long time IMO. You're delusional if you think otherwise.

To quote Homer Simpson, "I stand by my disappointed groan."
I don't want to see anyone jobless but a lot of guys are "just there" and sometimes that's just not good enough. If a guy knows the heads of the company won't do what's in their best interest, the guys should work harder to try and make it work. They didn't, IMO. I guess Hogan's, "he's not ready, brother" was a work but damn if I didn't totally agree with him when I thought it was a shoot. I'm sure Bryan, Punk and a number of the bigger indy names from WWE want there to be competition but there is none.
As for TNA having so few posts, I don't think it's such a matter of WWE being around for so long. ECW was around for a short amount of time but I'm sure they would have had nearly the same amount of threads as WWE. The wrestlers and Heyman gave fans a reason to be interested.

Whatever you say. I'm tired of talking to a brick wall.
I don't even like TNA, but I see the few talent that simply either have "it", or are amazing talents.

I'm hungry. Also, Aries is a fantastic wrestler, he could make it in the WwE after some developmental. Same as Roode.

Guys like Aries, Roode, Joe and Wolves could absolutely work in the WWE. Given they are put in a gimmick that fits them and focuses on their wrestling ability. Zayn, Neville... these two don't have gimmicks, other than being the underdogs.
If Colin Cassidy and Mojo Rowley (Rawley? I dunno) can be signed to Developmental, anyone can. Only problem is... is the WWE aren't Ring of Honor. Guys like Aries, Joe and Wolves aren't needed in the company right now.

I think Roode is MOST DEFINITELY on his way out, as well as Joe.
