Any other superstars jumping ship to TNA
- Thread starter Lex Luger
- Start date
- Status
There was talk of Goldberg, but to be honest I think TNA is over him. With Angle in now, I think they realise that bringing in Goldberg and having him destroy the product with his greed isn't worth the trouble or the investment. Macho Man will never see a TNA or WWE ring ever again I imagine - the guy has lost it, dido for Warrior.
Angle and Terry Taylor have both stated that they know a few people wanting to make the jump, but a lot of them are also scared at the same time. TNA needs to get its 2 hours and survive a little longer on the hard road before people are confident enough to turn and spit in Vince's face and make the jump.
I think you will see Matt Hardy in a TNA ring within the next couple of years. The only reason he didnt join the first time around was because TNA didnt have any TV. And after being screwed by the WWE for the second time, I bet he is counting down the seconds before he can leave. He is so much more talented than Jeff, and is the most over guy on the Smackdown roster (seriusly, have you heard the crowd pop when he comes out) but Vince for whatever reason just doesnt like him or trust him.
Jericho right now looks a chance too. Not a big one, but still a chance nonetheless. I think the chances of MMA guys like Tito Ortiz and now Brock Lesnar coming to TNA is what is really exciting. Tito has said he wants to get into pro-wrestling eventually and it would be interesting to see if he can make that transition. As for Brock, gotta wait till that no compete dies.
If you ask me but, the best thing for TNA right now would be to use more ROH guys, and bring in some Luchas and Japanese guys for the X-Div. The X-Division lacks variety - need some guys with a different look and attitude to add a new dimension. And for fucks sake give Low-Ki the respect he desrves already. I know its coming coz Russo loves Low-Ki but come on!!!

Dark Match Jobber
Ok Macho and Warrior and all the oldies, including Goldberg need to stay out of a major wrestling ring period, but the key thing TNA needs to do is limit its self, i hate seeing a new body that i've never heard of each week, and boom they are gone again....you need regular jobbers you can't always bring in some out of no where jobber.....Jobbing is what people like Norman Smiley were born for....oh yeah and get rid of him....And Idiots Get Eric Young back on TV NOW...he's over so use him, don't put him on the shelf to run the same f'n story line you did with Raven

I like Eric Young, but it was obvious that he was put on TV in squash matches just to put the guy on TV. He's quite a talent (even though he's not up to par with the X Division guys) and a lot of people like his character. I just don't like squash matches. I don't even remember the last time Eric Young was in a real match.
Jericho WILL return to pro wrestling and - shall it be to TNA - he'll put on wonderful X Division matches.
Given the recent announcement that ECW will probably become even more WWE, I see some of their talent jumping ship. Notably CM Punk (he absolutely belongs in TNA...it's strange to see a RoH talent of his caliber jump to WWE) and RVD. We'll see though

Shelton is a main eventer, why would he go to TNA only to be degraded to a lower level than he is now? Same goes for Mysterio.

Why would Jericho go to TNA and be a mid carder when he deserves to main event? No real reason for him to go.
Why would they jump? Its better to stay on ECW and not only make more money but have more chances to shine than in TNA. Why does CM Punk belong in TNA and why is it strange he is in WWE? He has more chances to rise to the top in ECW than TNA. RVD isn't going anywhere, he belongs in ECW and had it never folded he still be there.
Realisticly there is no real reason to jump right now unless WWE fired you, other than that there is no reason to make any jump. This is mostly wishful thinking. Come on, even Angle would have stayed if the WWE didn't let him go and tried to give him a lighter schedule and maybe a WWE title run which is what he wanted.

no its not trish. its traci. trish isnt that tan and doesnt usually have THAT much cleavage like traci. i would love to see jericho go to TNA but not in the X-division. same with brock lesnar they could actually make him maybe a big time heel so TNA would have one other that jarret. i also think TNA needs to go 2 hours really bad if they want to grow like they plan to.

Jericho has a huge ego, TNA doesn't give him the exposure he would want. WWE is the only promotion that can give him that.

Cody Rhodes is an excellant
when was the last time Shelton main evented, I've never seen him main event ever, the closest hes' gotten to a main event is a couple of Money In the Bank matchesDeathIsARight said:

Shelton is a future main eventer and WWE is starting to see that, he is getting a better push now than he used to. Why go to TNA and be stuck in the X Division for years when he has a chance to win the WWE title soon? I do see him winning that title within 2 years.

Yeah his manager will not be Trish Stratus, she left WWE to get married, and what the hell can she do in TNA? That girl wants to wrestle if she is going to be in a wrestling company, and TNA has no women's division.
I would not anticipate Matt leaving WWE now that Jeff is back. More money plus his brother with him? Why would he want to leave now. It was understandable when Jeff was in TNA and Matt had no job, but the circumstance is different and I don't think TNA is as appealing to him anymore.
CM Punk will not be leaving the WWE either because the guy has to be happy where he is. He is getting a huge push and more money than TNA would be able to offer him, and he is with his super hot girlfriend Maria.
The ECW guys are not just going to start jumping like crazy, they knew what Vince McMahon would do with ECW when they signed those contracts, I promise they did since all of us knew what Vince would eventually do to ECW. They are in the WWECW, they signed on for it, and just because ECW has to start admitting that it is WWE doesn't mean the guys will start dropping like flies to get away from it, they signed a WWE contract, not an ECW contract.
The only big name that I can see jumping is Jericho, which isn't really jumping since he has been gone for a while. Possibly Benoit at some point if they don't begin to use him correctly, he seems like a person that is more concerned with good wrestling than a paycheck.

Can't stand wrestling
shelton would be good cus all his doin is dark matches now and so undervalued

What do you think TNA has for shelton? One, they aren't going to offer him as much money as he makes in WWE. Two, the X-Division is big enough that he isn't going to just walk in and start taking it over because Shelton Benjamin is not a big enough name to do that. He obviously isn't going to be in the Heavyweight title scene. So what does TNA have to offer him that is so much better than WWE? He is going to get a push soon, that has been rumored a lot recently. The only thing holding him back is his mic skills.
justinsayne
Cody Rhodes is an excellant
It's not always about the money, for some wrestlers it's about nothing more than just an oppertunity to show the wrestling world what they got. Shelton would excell in the X-division and could team-up with Elix Skipper and form a great tag team as well, and a few years down the road he could possibabilly challenge for the NWA heavyweight title.jefferson411 said:
I would love to see Shelton in TNA, cause TNA usually focuses more on athletic ability and Shelton has loads of it.
jefferson411

Mark my words. Shelton Benjamin will never jump to TNA as long as it is like it is now. He has no family so he has no reason to be attracted to the once a week only in orlando thing like other family men are. he is traveling the world, making $$$, and by the time TNA could offer him money, he will most likely be getting a push in WWE because hopefully by then he will have learned to talk.

Cody Rhodes is an excellant
I never said he was going to jump to TNA, I said I wouldn't mind seeing him jump to TNA, and somewhere down the road he may have family and want to only work one day a week, and TNA wrestlers travel the world also, mostly for indy shows, as far as making money see my previous postjefferson411 said:
I do hope WWE does give him a good push soon, him and Jeff Hardy could have some great matches together, I'm hopeing they have a ladder match somewhere down the road, that would be wicked sweet
Bret Hart could join as manager
Goldberg has been on the verge of signing for a few months now
Ultimate Warrior has told them he will join ( but they shouldnt except )
Randy Savage was gonna join until Hogan associated his name with them so he is a chance
Chris Jericho is a big chance to join them as he is good pals with Christian
Brock Lesnar if he wants back into wrestling would be a huge inclusion
Lex Luger & Buff Bagwell have been getting small gigs on there
ones who could jump ship
Rey Mysterio he could jump just because he is sick of them using eddies name so badly
Chris Benoit same as ray and they jumped from WCW so it can happen
Shelton Benjamin not getting the push he thought he would and would be getting upset
