Occasional Pre-Show
Firstly I'm a huge TNA mark and haven't watched WWE in 7 years when they managed to turn me against wrestling until I started watching TNA in 2006.
TNA has been signing a lot of guys recently and I noticed a connection between them. After the failure of the Frontline (lets face it they sucked) TNA needs a decent rival for the MEM (who I think are great btw). Now they've had Team 3D talking about "Being on the Frontline's side as we know what it's like to build a company up...blah blah..ECW.. blah blah".
This got me thinking...Raven, Shane Douglas, Taz, Team 3D, Rhino, Stevie Richards all ECW legends, now add to that Bobby Lashley a champ in new ECW and then they are also trying out Elijah Burke and Shawn Spears. You have a whole bunch of guys from the old and new ECW.
Russo has always stated that he wanted to do a proper invasion angle (he wanted to do it again in his short return to WWE after they messed it up the first time). I'm wondering if they are going to have these guys combine with TNA's "originals" as a group of guys who are sick of these big stars coming in and stealing all the top spots etc.
Just think it'd be pretty awesome as it'd get over all the young guys in TNA, along with new young guys like Lashley and Burke while also giving guys like Rhino (who hasn't been on TV in months due to nothing from creative) something to do.
