Vodka Drunkenski Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Hogan on his way out of TNA? http://www.tnainsider.com/view/tna-news/hulk-hogans-contact-expiring-very-soon-r397 I hope, he's been terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 I hope, he's been terrible. Honestly, I don't blame them for the Hogan experiment. It made sense on paper. It just did nothing for the ratings, unfortunately. My bet is he works out a short-term extension through Bound For Glory, and they probably walk away from one another afterward.

They can't draw new talent, can barely pay current talent and are not making much if any money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Not necessarily, no. They'll need to make budgetary cuts, as they have been, and the shows will go back to the taped format, but they're not going out of business any time soon. It takes years for that sort of thing to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodka Drunkenski Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 USA not working for me so didn't catch any of tonight's show. I'm sure I didn't miss much anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-ERIK- Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Roman Reigns is a fuking beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twentyseven Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 He is, but its Ambrose that is the most talented out of the 3. Dude is the complete package and should be a great heel for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-ERIK- Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I think they all will be successful ,Id almost argue Reigns is as good as either of them,he's just not as good on the mic as either Anyways Reigns can be booked as a monster heel as he is just a beast and is getting better and better,just a dominant force Ambrose is already a great heel Rollins is more high flying and I could see him becoming a face eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreaseCrusader91 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 So TNA could be put up for sale according to Meltzer. http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2013/1027/566799/is-tna-up-for-sale/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Yup. My hope is to an owner who'll keep them in business. Why people actively root for their demise is beyond me. This industry fucking sucks when there is no competition, and I think WWE proved that the last time around. They get lazy and they rest on their laurels, knowing the WWE brand is doing 80% of the work anyway. If they're sold, I'm in the pool that hopes it's to a new owner willing to keep them in business, because they day they go under is quite likely my last day as a wrestling fan... again. Just like in 2001 with WCW, I'll very likely go back to operating my life as if wrestling was a television show I watched from season one to series finale, hoping for something to come around that'll give me that same spark again (the way TNA did post WCW) to get me back into it, because WWE just doesn't do it for me. If not, I just go down with the ship. Same as in 2001. Viacom would be an unlikely, but possible buyer. They'd inject funds into the company to get it afloat, just like they've done a good job of with Bellator, which has defied all expectations and is being taken seriously.

Vodka Drunkenski Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 WWE made some noise this week announcing their own network channel. Not a bad Raw either, caught the end and was lucky enough to see the road dogg on the mic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreaseCrusader91 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 WWE made some noise this week announcing their own network channel. Not a bad Raw either, caught the end and was lucky enough to see the road dogg on the mic. Smart idea. 9.99 a month. Six month minimum commitment and PPVs are included. Will include classic programming and new content as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-ERIK- Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Batista coming back,Lesnar is back for select dates,Taker coming back for a match at Mania and of course hogan is rumored to be making a Mania appearance or something I think it's been a lot the better the last few weeks or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twentyseven Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 The best thing that the WWE is doing is unifying the belts. Having 1 heavyweight champion and 1 IC champion will go a long ways to making these titles credible again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karan Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 What's with the lack of WWE Network in Canada? :/ Too hard to implement or do they just want to wait and see how the market responds before investing more into it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karan Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Depends who you ask. Who is he over rated by? The general public who gives him all the huge pops? The guy's matches are entertaining you can't deny that. He puts on a good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
