Robert Roode has always been the number one guy from TNA ive wanted to see in WWE, ever since his whole split from team Canada, hes one of the main reasons i watch TNA and he isnt exactly going to be getting his push into titles anytime soon. So why not have him as a cocky/narcecistic(Sp?) character in WWE, maybe have him win a US or Intercontinental title quickly, he could be a lead heel in WWE in no time if hes used correctly. He has the right look that makes him a believable champion and is gold on the mic, which would be much better than becoming stuck in his tag team with James Storm (even though i do love beer money).

I must mostly agree here with heelgoldberg, Harris screwed himself out of his "big shot". They signed him and he could've made a name for himself. Instead, showed up for his debut in quite possibly the worst shape of his life. He was in bad shape when leaving TNA, but got worse between that and his ECW debut. Roode is in great shape and would fit in great with the WWE's style. Bring him in as the mega pretty boy gimmick ( Rick Rude, Lex Lugar ) and let him run with it. TNA isn't going anywhere and with guys like Sting, Jarrett, Angle and Booker T in the spotlight... Roode won't be shining anytime soon. And heres to hoping the other contracts are: Lance Rock, Kip James, BG James, Brother Ray, Brother Devon, Scott Steiner, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley and Awesome Kong... with only Sabin, Shelly and Kong being offered renewals and turning them down. MCMG going to ROH or the WWE and Kong going to the WWE. - Triple S Roode isn't going anywhere. In that same interview he pretty much eluded to this. He said he wants to be in TNA for a long time. He also made the funny remark that he and James Storm are totally opposite of their gimmicks. He said Storm is always worried about money and he is always drinking. Funny stuff. Roode is going to be a main eventer in TNA. They didn't build him up this far to let him walk. In fact TNA hasn't really let anyone that was important get away. Chris Harris was an idiot for causing problems and leaving. He was clearly the Marty Jannety of AMW. I knew WWE would have nothing for him. I'm sure everyone in TNA knew too. The guy has the charisma of driftwood. Monty Brown was just OK. Even if he had not had family issues i'm sure WWE would have wished him well on his future endeavors by now. He wasn't really getting over on ECW. He wasn't really over in TNA. I was happy that WWE took him. Ron Killings seems to be getting a push right now but I don't see it lasting. He is alright at first then his act gets old. The same thing happened with his first WWE run. Gail Kim? She still as far as I know hasn't signed a WWE contract. The last I heard she still wants to stay in TNA. I really could care less though. She is good but not the end all be all of the Knockout Division. I think it speaks volumes that she has not signed the big money offer from WWE yet. I think it also says that TNA has truly become a competitor to WWE in some capacity. Not in the exposure and not in the ability to get the most money either. TNA affords workers time with their families, time to heal, and have a life in general. You can't put a price tag on those things. They are also very hard to come by working for WWE. The only others I can think of left TNA when they were not in the position to sign people long term. I'm sure of the other nine contracts some are very expendable. Kong and Roode are no-brainers to lock up. With the rest being speculation it is hard to comment. In my opinion there is a lot of fat to trim from TNA anyway. I wouldn't miss Hoyt/Rock, Jimmy Rave, Sharkboy, Eric Young, Rhino, Kip James, and BG James. None of those people play an important role in TNA. Christian could be one of those contracts as well. I don't want to see him go but I would understand. I'm sure he and Edge could have a good program together again. One thing is for sure though. Cage will be laying the back down for The Phenomenal One at BFG on his way out the door. Something tells me he will stick around though. He has a good thing going in TNA. If Shelley or Sabin are amongst those contracts and they could only keep one. It should be Shelley. He has the most upside. I see a future main eventer in him. Sabin is a great in ring performer but that is about it. His promo work is horrible and his charisma is sketchy. That being said I don't think they are going anywhere either. I guess we will just have to wait and see how it all plays out. As far as the quote above goes. It is a load of crap that has been said and recycled enough. Sting, Angle, Jarrett, and Booker T would all be in the spotlight for WWE too. Vince would craphimself if he could sign Sting. He can't though. Angle only gets so much heat because it chaps WWE fan boys asses that he left. The man is a beast and arguably one of the best all time. Booker and Jarrett would be mid-card but they would still be involved in visible angles. I don't see Triple H stepping his tired ass out of anyones way. I don't see HBK getting out of the spotlight for some younger talent. Guys like Christian would still be with WWE if they had been given the chance they earned. That is a perfect picture for a guy like Robert Roode to look at. He would be absolutely wasted by WWE. More than likely with the kind of cheap crapgimmick that some of you are calling for. Oh well i'm wasting my breath and i'm sure to get flamed for my opinions. |

I hope Robert Roode goes to the WWE. He is not getting the push that he deserves. He does seem to fit the WWE style more as well. I hope there is some truth to this, and I'd really like to see him in the WWE as long as they didn't screw up with him. He wont get anywhere in the E. They dont know how to use people with talent. He'll simply be given a corny generic name, and squashed by Kozlov, and Khali until eventually he disappears. |

WWE showed how much they cared for the washed up Angle, Booker and Jarrett. Not at all. Say what you will about Triple H, Shawn Michaels, etc... but they have very much well earned the right to be pushed for years at a time. Not to mention, we very well might witness Michaels put over Jericho at No Mercy and dare I say it... Triple H put over Hardy. What in the hell have Jarrett, or Booker T done in their careers? Nothing and don't tell me they have.
Booker T: Won the WCW Championship, while WCW was struggling. The man was a GREAT tag team star, but once that light faded and he was on his own... he struggled for a LONG time. Remember G.I. Bro? C'mon now. In the WWE, Booker never really accomplished much. I still feel he should've beaten Triple H at WrestleMania XIX, but he didn't and lost his momentum. He did just about nothing, until WWE said "Hell, you've been with us for a while... you'll be our newest King of the Ring. And heres our B show's world title. Walk around and bore the hell out of people." Booker T comes to TNA and who cares? The Booker fans and the TNA fanboys, thats it. He brings nothing to the product, he doesn't incread ratings. WHY is he contracted?
Jeff Jarrett: Won the WCW Championship, when WCW made no sense whatsoever in what they were doing. The man was and always be a glorified mid-carder. I hate this man's ego, more than I hate Triple H's. Jarrett WAS the Triple H of TNA for so damn long. Remember Raven AND Rhino's title reigns? Yeah, if you blinked, you might have completely missed them. He couldn't even put over Hardy, when he might have skyrocketed TNA high as a main drawing point. I'm telling you this now, Jarrett can't stay out of the spotlight for too long, because will forget about him. It's a shame about his wife and everything, with him missing what he loves. But him returning makes me say "Oh, TNA is about to start sucking even worse now." The man is washed up, and it might be time for him to "hang up the boots" sometime within the next couple of years.
Kurt Angle: The only person thats already made a name for himself, but because of what he puts into the ring... completely deserves the spot he has right now. Angle is simply the best wrestler, especially now that Benoit is no longer with us. Angle shows that he still has it in him, when you put him against people that'll bring that out of him. I'll say it, him & Joe's fued was absolutely terrible and rushed. Their first match was great and the others... lackluster. Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe II should be headlining this year's Bound For Glory. Instead, I never want to see those 2 in the same ring ever again.
I just really hope they are waiting so damn long to give the strap back to AJ, so it'll be that much better when he does get it. AJ, Angle, Joe, Cage and Daniels should be the main eventers of TNA. 2 guys that help build it from scratch, 1 that came in mid-way and helped bring it up and 2 from another promotion and EASILY TNA's 2 biggest pick-ups. Run with that, while building Storm, Roode, etc. to eventually move up and carry the company in the future.
- Triple S

I like him enough to not care if he comes to wwe.
What titles has he gotten in TNA besides the tag team titles he has now?
He could be a IC/US competitor.

Run with that, while building Storm, Roode, etc. to eventually move up and carry the company in the future. - Triple S I agree completely with some of what you said. I especially agree that Booker T has been worn out for awhile now. I don't agree that he was a bad main eventer though. He was hugely over in WCW even through the thin times. That was then and this is now though. WWE and the way he was booked ruined Booker T. I don't think he can be fixed. I wouldn't mind seeing him cut. Jeff Jarrett was and is way more than a glorified mid-carder. He carried TNA in the early days. His ideas carried TNA in the early days. The man is part owner of the second largest American based wrestling promotion. He is TNAs Vince McMahon. Which is an on air role I have been calling for him to do for a long time. I'm glad that the ground work is being laid out for it now. He isn't planning on wrestling for much longer. We will see. Jarrett never gets the respect he deserves. In my opinion what he has done in wrestling overshadows what a guy like HHH or HBK has ever done. It takes brass balls to attempt what he has and whether anyone likes it or not he is succeeding. So yes, JJ has done something in his career. As for HHH putting over Hardy? I want some of what you are smoking. "The Stick" is never going to lay down for a spot monkey like Jeff Hardy and in this case I would actually side with Trips. I agree that Hardy is insanely popular. I don't know why but I agree people love him. However he is not Heavyweight Championship material. His atrocious promo cutting is reason enough but my main reason is this. At some point and time Jeff Hardy is not going to be able to do the things he does to his body in the ring. When that happens I would like to see how many people still think the spot monkey is cool. The man is beloved for his stupidity in the ring. He should have been slowly developing a different style over time so he could have a longer career. Not to mention he has had too many wellness issues to be trusted. Now what purpose would HBK "putting" over Jericho serve? I don't understand why HBK needs to put over a guy in his mid-thirties who happens to be the champ now. Jericho is a multiple time champion in multiple organizations and is over as he is ever going to be. HBK should be putting over a young star who needs it. This feud while entertaining is not going to do anything long term for either man. Why doesn't HBK or HHH put over Orton? Orton is a mega heel waiting to happen. I still think Orton should have retired Flair. Unfortunately Flair being like HHH and HBK wouldn't pass the torch to someone who could use the rub. Instead he gets lumped in with some other lesser second generation wrestlers in a lame story line with CM Punk. Way to go WWE. Orton is never going to reach his potential because of backstage politics. While i'm at it. Why doesn't Taker put someone over? He barely wrestles anymore and when he does Edge gets screwed. Edge can't reach his full potential either. These old farts need to get out of the way. WWE is the same old song and dance and they are only hurting themselves by not properly promoting younger stars to the upper tier. That is how you lose guys like Christian to TNA. TNA has the gold on their present and future stars. |

There is some results up on wrestlezone.com from some raido interview that Robert Roode did and he announced during the interview that his contract is one of the 10 TNA contracts that is going to expire in March of 2009 and WWE is interested in Robert Roode. I think Robert Roode should stay in TNA because it would be a big blow to TNA if he goes to WWE and TNA needs Robert Roode's star power to remain on the map. Would you like to see Robert Roode stay in TNA or go to WWE when his TNA contract expires in March of 2009? Did you just say star power and Robert Roode in the same sentence? |

Oh well i'm wasting my breath and i'm sure to get flamed for my opinions. I will say though that most of the TNA guys are really just tweeners in the fed. I cannot understand why some of the TNA guys think that they can make it in the fed when almost everything about the two companies are totally different. Just as different as going to work from WCW to the fed. It is just two totally different environments. |

Maybe he will leave and go to TNA. He doesn't fit the WWE mold anyway. He has too much of an old school aura about him. In my opinion he is the most underutilized wrestler on the planet today. The man could be the biggest heel in wrestling if booked properly. So I guess you are lucky I don't write for WWE. |
