TNA has talked about bringing in Giant Bernard (ex-Albert, A-Train in WWE). Bernard and Tomko are IWGP Tag Team champions in New Japan. - The plan to bring the Bound for Glory PPV to Chicago, IL on 10/14 since WWE is running the No Mercy PPV in Chicago on 10/7. Cities being considered for Bound for Glory are Charlotte, Norfolk, Greenville, and Atlanta. - Konnan was sent a legal letter by TNA stating that he had been suspended for missing the last two shows without giving word. I guess the company doesn't consider quitting the company as giving word. TNA has also requested that Konnan pay back his loan for hip replacement surgery. The letter also stated that Konnan can't talk negativity about TNA while "suspended." Credit www.Gerweck.net |

Bernard in TNA would rock with Tomko, BFG needs to be held in CT, tbh. And TNA really screwed over Konnan, like they Pearl Harbored the poor guy.

Gotta love TNA's determination to shortcut their way to the top by signing any and every hack that has an inkling of name value... god forbid they take the time to build new stars from the ground up.  Seriously, they should just leave A-Train in Japan and fire anti-charisma personified, Tyson Tomko. |

TNA will sign anyone the WWE cans. Why do people consider them as WWE wrestlers? They don't wrestle for WWE now, how are they going to find work? TNA doesn't sign all of them, most of them Retired or went to Indy's, and yes, Some signed to TNA because they still want to wrestle on a National TV Basis. |

TNA is wanting to sign Bernard to bring him in to team with Tomko. They didn't jump on Bernard when he was released because he blew. Now, he's gone to Japan & just like Tomko has improved. He's co-holders of the IWGP World Tag Titles with Tomko. I think signing him would be great.
How shit! Charlotte, Greenville & Atlanta? Oh hell yeah. I hope they put it in one of those 3. Atlanta, could be good if promoted right.

Wouldn't they want to do it in Chicago still to convince people to go to BFG instead of NM? That's what I think would be the logical decision.

Because, that would cause fans to chose between TNA & WWE because not everyone can afford to go to both. Which do you think 1/4th of the fans would chose? WWE without a doubt. |

Why does TNA like tp follow the WWE??
Wrestlemania 22 announces WM23 for Detroit next year,Bound for Glory that Oct is in Detroit
WWE announce Jugmentday in St. Louis like months in advance, TNA has Lockdown in St. Louis.
Now a week later in the same town??

Well yeah, but BFG is supose to be the biggest PPV of the year. NM is just another PPV, and if the casual fan sees that wrestlers like Kurt Angle, Sting and Team 3D are on the card, they would probably choose BFG. Granted you got names like Cena, Batista, Rey, and Triple H for WWE, but TNA rarely comes to any where else besides FL. Not to mention, Chicago is known to be one of (if not) the biggest "Smark" wrestling fan communities in the U.S. and they are obviously going to choose names like Joe, Styles, Daniels over Umaga, Batista, and Cena. |

If TNA signs Giant Bernard, they'll probably kill him. And I never thought I'd say this, but that would be awful as his NJPW work has been great.

Konnan really got screwed over by TNA.... How? They paid for his hip replacement & wanted their money back. Isn't this the same damn bored that bitches about TNA not drawing a dime? Yes, they do want their money back. He could've went to the bank & borrowed the money & oh guess what.. he would've had to pay it back to. |

Sorry if it's old news, but I heard if TNA couldn't get Ricky Banderas, they were gonna get Bernard and make him Mitchel's new monster.

Bandaras is Mitchell's new monster. That has been confirmed and vignettes are already airing announcing his coming.
And I give a big thumbs up to Giant Bernard. Him and Tomko tearing through the tag scene would be awesome.
