Considering some of the talent thought the idea was ridiculous with no developmental program or school, I'd say it's good they've kayboshed the idea. Seriously, TNA can't be this  ing stupid to have an open casting call when there are literally a hundred non-ROH contracted or non-WWE contracted guys they could and should be looking at. Chuck Taylor Ricochet The Iron Saints Billy Roc Joey Ryan Scott Lost B-Boy(yes he's retiring, but a shot at TNA might stop that) Cheech Eddie Kingston Chris Bosh(yes he's on a hiatus, but is returning) Sabu Rob Van Dam Chris Jericho Booker T The Sandman Monty Brown Archadia Azrieal Scorpio Sky Brandon Thomaselli Kory Chevous Hallowicked Lince Dorado Cloudy Brain Damage Tank That's 27 guys, including one tag team TNA should be scouting. But instead they'd rather have an open try out for guys who have no exposure, and likely no skill. I agree with this, however I'm not sure why the following names were listed since they have likely been trying to get them in for a while. Sabu Rob Van Dam Chris Jericho Booker T The Sandman Monty Brown Sabu? I'm guessing he'll be back very soon. RVD? No doubt they want him. I bet he goes there after a long hiatus. Jericho? From what I hear they have been talking and Jericho will be making a comeback soon. I wouldn't be shocked of he debuted on the first two hour show or if an announcement was made. There's no doubt he'll go to TNA when he makes a comeback. Booker T? What's his contractual status with WWE? I bet they're trying to get him in ASAP. The Sandman? I wouldn't be surprised to see him there at some point. Monty Brown? I'm not so sure. Does he want to continue to wrestle? Does TNA want him back? I heard there was heat from both sides on his way to WWE last year. sorry but there is doubt with jericho & RVD . how are realy sure that jericho is going to TNA . he still good go back to WWE .Jericho has been working with WWE wrestlers latley on TV & doing interviews right beside them. so until it happens it is not for sure .also RVd has made it sound like WWE has better chance of getting him back then TNA. |

I must ask... what makes you say "there not doubt Jericho will go to TNA when he makes a comeback"? Theres no proof he'll ge to either WWE or TNA, so yeah... there is doubt.
As for Sandman, I honestly think he'll hang out in PWU for a little bit. He has a match coming up on October 27th against either Joey Matthews or Shawn Stasiak.

This is histerical for so many reasons. its histerical because a guy with 28 posts is trying to insult tryouts for pro wrestling. |

I dont there are any indy performers that are gonna pay TNA to watch them perform and see if they actually get a roster spot. Seems more like a scam than anything else. TNA knows who can work on the indy circuit. And if they were really interested....they would have offered a contract to them.
Instead, TNA is looking to shop like the E does. Tough Enough anyone? TNA is looking for someone with a "good look" and probably doesnt know the difference between a wrist lock and wrist watch. TNA gets more and more like the E everyday. God I miss 2003.

How does that end discussion? It would only continue it and provide a different aspect upon it. |

I really think this can give TNA a Chance to make more of their own stars, I think they know that the fans are getting pissed at TNA getting Ex-WWE Talent.

Great idea! Too bad it's canned. There are tons of guys that don't/didn't wrestle for ROH, FIP, CZW, etc.
Such as guys like Cru Jones....
CRU JONES FOR TNA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!! ;D

CRU JONES FOR TNA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!! ;D I dont know who he is. But he is the kind of guy that might get TNA's attention through a paid tryout. However, if he was that good, he would already be getting the attention of the bigger indy promotions like ROH, Chikara, PWG, IWA:MS, etc. |

It's hysterical because it's TNA trying to offer some younger people a chance at a dream job? It's funny because any professional wrestling company gets tapes and has their eyes on talent, as opposed to posting an open casting call. Guys within the company laughed at this idea. If TNA scouted talent on the indy circuit, then they'd know exactly who they wanted to sign, something they did when they hijacked Joe, Shelley, Sabin, Homicide, and Shaun Hernandez. Asking a bunch of random people who want to pay $200 to try out is not the right way to do things, especially if there is no developmental territory to send them to. I'm not a TNA defender by any means but who exactly did they "hijack" Hernandez from? Don't even bother to say ROH because they used him a few times in what 2003 or 2004 and that was it. ROH dropped the ball on Hernandez and if you really wanna talk about "hijacking" talent then what about ROH "hijacking" damn near the whole JAPW roster to create ROH. It's stupid to say TNA "hijacked" them. They signed with TNA because they wanted to wrestle for a national company so that they don't have to live like bums for the rest of their life. Now with ROH becoming the #3 company(yes even though ROH is way better than TNA it's number 3) it's their choice to decide where they want to go or stay. I agree with everything you're saying about TNA should have their eyes on indy talent and not open up a school. All of that is true but I wouldn't say TNA "hijacked" those guys. Hopefully they will be back in ROH soon. It's really their choice to decide where they go from here on out. Considering some of the talent thought the idea was ridiculous with no developmental program or school, I'd say it's good they've kayboshed the idea. Seriously, TNA can't be this ing stupid to have an open casting call when there are literally a hundred non-ROH contracted or non-WWE contracted guys they could and should be looking at.

The Wrestlers DID agree to Wrestle for TNA, Its not like they didn't have a Choice, ROH or whatever Indy they came from wasn't doing it for them, So thats why they signed.
Don't give us this " OMG U STOLE JOE FROM ROH ", HE decided to go to TNA, not TNA.
All people do is Bitch all day about TNA, get over it.

the lower the post count, the wider their wrestling knowledge.
DUHHHHHH
Only guys who know everything about pro wrestling take the time to piss enough people off to get kicked off a message board about a fake sport.... and then sign up repeatedly after the fact.
On the topic of tryouts, I personally, while back in training, would NEVER try out in such a way. Itd be too risky. It would be much smarter to establish oneself on the indy scene with hardwork and time... a round trip plane ticket and $250 bucks isnt really in the budget for someone who just wants to "give it a shot"
TNA has eyes and Im sure they know who to scout. Seems odd they would even ever suggest such an "audition".

However, if he was that good, he would already be getting the attention of the bigger indy promotions like ROH, Chikara, PWG, IWA:MS, etc. He definetly has the talent, and was in DSW until they closed, but the problem is that his main job is a health inspector (he has a wife and three kids, and needs a main income), so he wrestles every weekend, and used to on Thursdays when DSW was still around. His wife is very nice. She taught me a lot ;D ... because she was my 7th Grade History teacher!  |

This guy signed up the day SodaGuy was deleted. Not to mention much like SG, he creates like 5 posts a day on the TNA board. You have to be blind to think it's not him. I don't really care, I just found it hilarious that he;s denying it. |

Hernandez was hijacked from AJPW, where he was getting a regular payday. ROH makes more money then TNA, and is more financially stable, due to a smaller budget, creating the larger profit margin. ROH is #2, TNA is #3. Did JSWO just suggest ARCHADIA!?!? No I don't think he did, I did however. |

ROH is #2, TNA is #3. It was Hernandez choice to sign so saying that TNA "hijacked" him would be ridiculous. ROH is not #2 because they don't have TV like TNA is TV and no one other than maybe yourself really looks at ROH as the number two promotion. They might be making more money but they are in no way the number 2 promotion. Even wrestlers there self would tell you that. If ROH gets TV, airs live PPV's and gets an action figure deal and continues to make money then they will be looked at as the number two promotion. |
