See Angle, Lashley, Booker T, Flair, nWo v. 27, Hardy and so on...granted a couple of those guys just arrived in the IMPACT ZONE, but they won't make a difference. What did TNA do last week that would make any casual fans that watched due to Hogan hype want to tune in this week? Nothing. |

Doesn't make him a 'big name.' When you have guys like Angle, Flair, Hardy and Hogan, Kennedy is not a big name. He's a big-ish name. The guy won MITB, the US title, had several main event feuds and was over as hell. Agreed. Kennedy (whether you want to admit it or not) was one of the top stars on the brands he was on. He was atleast in the top five most recognisable on Raw and Smackdown, when he was there. He was proclaimed as the future of sports entertainment and has had feuds with HBK, The Undertaker, Kane and Booker T, not to mention has victories over all of those guys, plus Chris Benoit, Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero and Batista. He's the third ever winner of Money in the Bank and had a world title shot at a PPV. Injured alot or not, you would be a fool not to want that sort of career if you were a wrestler. Say what you will, but if Mr. Anderson shows up in the Impact Zone, TNA will treat it like the best thing on earth and rightfully so. New wrestlers should have an impact and be made feel like something good, the commentators over on WWE completely blackballed Christian, Chris Jericho and even Bret Hart's returns. "OH MY GOD, MR ANDERSON IS IN THE IMPACT ZONE!!!11" > "Well King... look who's back...". Christian was in Kennedy's position when he left for TNA, he was an over midcarder who sometimes feuded with the big guys. TNA made him, and treated him like their own. They can do this with Mr. Anderson. I still think the guy has more charisma than 90% of the wrestlers today, and I don't care who begs to differ. |

Kennedy's a much bigger name than Haas. Doesn't make him a 'big name.' When you have guys like Angle, Flair, Hardy and Hogan, Kennedy is not a big name. Kennedy is a much bigger name than Charlie Haas. There's not many names currently in the business that would sign with TNA and are a big name like Angle, Flair, Hardy and Hogan. |

It doesn't matter. The person will no doubt be overrated and contribute a whole lot of nothing.

I also think you can expect Kennedy to be one of them and you could expect people to laugh if either one is Haas. If they want shock value or a real suprise they should bring in Bret Hart and Shane McMahon. |

Oh my gosh, did you not hear the announcers on Impact on Monday? They crapon the returns that weren't Hogan. They did the whole "Oh look it's him" deal. |

There's not many names currently in the business that would sign with TNA and are a big name like Angle, Flair, Hardy and Hogan. I think Goldberg, Bret Hart, Austin, Rock and Warrior all would be in that same group. However, I dont know if Austin or Rock can go to TNA or not. |

Sid Vicious and RVD would be great additions to their roster. The only reason people hate on Sid is because they've heard other people hate on him and jumped on the bandwagon. Sid rules the world, my friends. and he's 50 Good point! Oh wait, isn't 80% of the TNA roster now also 50+ years old? |

Any ratings increase that Angle caused has leveled off and not gone up in a long time. So while Angle made an impact (no pun intended) initially, it has peaked. Also, hasn't Angle been arrested for a couple things (drunk driving and stuff)? There is a good way for your top star to get people interested... |

There is a good way for your top star to get people interested... Exactly. Angle boosted ratings from .9 to 1.1.....now if you can just get 47 more Angles you might actually make a....you know....Impact  |
