So at the ECW PPV that is more or less set in stone, will the TNA guys actually work?

 

[ABMorales787]

Guess what I got. Eh? Eh? Shit...

 

[klunderbunker]

So at the ECW PPV that's more or less set in stone, will the TNA guys actually wrestle?

 

[Remy LaCroix]

Hahaha, I chuckled reading "undoubtedly beat" striked out. On an unrelated note, I gotta get myself one of 'em Impact sigs so I can represent.

 

[mrbrownstone]

why are they giving away hardy v joe on free TV? That could easily headline a PPV and now when it does it wont be the first ever meeting between the two i had the same problem w/ rvd vs joe. Still should be a good match cant wait till angle beats Supermex and we get another AJ vs Angle classic.

 

[Vincent Michaels]

I'm looking forward to the Hardy vs Joe match.

 

[gd]

I swear, if Hardy wins.

 

[Unsold Bacon]

Who bets there won't be an intro for the 4th week in a row?

 

[gd]

By the way, after Angle beats Hernandez, that should mean Angle v. AJ at Hard Justice. Very nice.

 

[Tiger Chaos Theory]

No can make it, work till 9.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

This Impact looks to be pretty good I'll be here

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Who bets there won't be an intro for the 4th week in a row?

I'm not phased by that. Intro is OK, but doesn't matter to me. Ideally I want it to be much shorter, the way the WWE introduces all their programming.

 

[klunderbunker]

I don't get the problem of not having an intro. They're already cramped for time and having the ECW guys is going to make that even harder. They need every second they can spare, which is probably why a lot of entrances aren't shown anymore.

 

[Kenny Powers]

By the way, after Angle beats Hernandez, that should mean Angle v. AJ at Hard Justice. Very nice.

That would be nice, but I doubt we will see any of the TNA guys wrestle at the PPV if it is only an all ECW PPV.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

They don't have the benefit of a second show, so the intro is wasted space, I agree. The reason the WWE has intros is because their roster is split.

I was just saying they never show it anymore. By the way it looks to be good doesn't mean it is, never know in Wrestling I'll be here for most of it. I'll get a stream. Can't keep looking back and forth between the TV and Computer. i'm watching Superstars right now.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah that's true. Solution: bring in about 8-10 more guys and give them the TV time instead.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Well, if they moved some of the other guys to Xplosion on more of a full-time basis, they'd be OK, but getting Xplosion on SpikeTV would actually be best for them.

 

[JJYanks121]

Haven't been in the last couple, but I'll be here tonight. Should be interesting to see how this thing plays out over the next few weeks.

 

[klunderbunker]

Well, if they moved some of the other guys to Xplosion on more of a full-time basis, they'd be OK, but getting Xplosion on SpikeTV would actually be best for them.

Or they could not bring in the ECW guys or actually FIRE SOME PEOPLE for once.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Or they could not bring in the ECW guys or actually FIRE SOME PEOPLE for once.

The latter is more viable, and should have been done a while ago.

OJ isn't earning them any money – I'd let him go. Same goes for Eric Young, Homicide, Kiyoshi and Tomko. I'd also release (Not So) Amazing Red, but he's got a lot of fans in the company, so that's a pipe dream – same with Eric Young, unfortunately.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah there are a ton of guys that simply don't need to be there. I know they're on a per appearance basis, but maybe they shouldn't have an appearance. Why muscle in appearances when they don't add anything to the show and take up other time for people?

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

Here We Go!!!!!

Exactly. No reason to hold any of them back from potentially moving on, either. Let them go elsewhere.
