Main Event Mafia - New Member

[King Patrick Star]

With the assumption that Sting will soon leave the “Family”, I pose this 3 part question:

1. Who should be put in the Main Event Mafia next?? (Best possible choice)

2. Who could be put in the M. E. Mob next?? (Off of the current TNA roster)

3. Who would you put in the M. E. M. (Anyone you want)

My choices:

1. A. J. Styles, Samoa Joe, Abyss, or Rhino (In that order, I can see a heel turn by any one of these 4, giving the Mob a young, yet former Champion to add credibility to the Family. Plus, the fact that these are the only other former World Champs on the roster.)

2. Jeff Jarrett (He could do the whole, I have to protect my company much like Eric Bischoff and the N. W. O.)

3. Ric Flair (He could play the manager role of the Family, much like J. J. Dillon did for him.)

Now, I'm not saying the M. E. Mob needs a new member, all I'm saying is if they were to add someone, who should, could and / or would it be.

On the other hand, Lashley just doesn't seem to fit, in my opinion, but I just don’t know why.

 

[KANE-A-KNIGHT]

out of everyone HHH , its never gonna happen because hes to far up VKM ass to ever come out but being in the mafia would be his dream putting all the young talented guys down and think he was better

 

[maddawg]

Dude, what in the living hell are you talking about? This guy is talking about MEM in TNA and you are coming out of left field with some crazy junk. What does HHH being up McMahon's ass have to do with MEM. As far as the thread goes, I agree with the original posters first two questions. #3 I would add Bobby Lashley.

get ric flair off this list because it is impossible . ric flair can't get near tna at all. ric flair has a contract with ROH. lashley won't join because he is a big face

 

[anglewillruletna]

What about Foley?they could do a whole power struggle angle between Mick and Jeff like they did with Vince and Shane and Steph during the invasion storyline.that could be one guy to watch for if there is a new MEM member

 

[King Patrick Star]

Great ideas, fellow WZers. Remember, this is a three part question, who should, could and would, meaning, who should (who fits), who could (kind of far off, but still possible) and who would (whoever you want from the past, present of future from anywhere).

the main event mafia is supposed to contain main event veterans. neither of those men are veterans or main eventers.

2. Jeff Jarrett (He could do the whole, I have to protect my company much like Eric Bischoff and the N. W. O.)

Even though he is/was a main eventer and former world champion and a vet in the bidness, that would be a GIANT MISTAKE. i wouldn't be able to stand
seeing
jarrett in the main EVENT picture. If he was infact in the mafia, he'd be their main man. and that just wouldn't work for me.

3. Ric Flair (He could play the manager role of the Family, much like J. J.
Dillon did for him.)

Forget it. thats a stupid idea to have Flair in TNA. Hes retired. hes done. He needs to be off television. And lashley joining the main event mafia would not only water down the group, but it would also make them look pathetic. lashley is still young. and has yet to accomplish anything as great as each main event mafia wrestler has done.

 

[LokiCobain]

Lashley isn't really anything at the moment. He's showed up twice and stood there. He was a face in the months he was with WWE, but so far it doesn't seem like that's the route TNA is going with him. He could be the young muscle of the group, and that would fit him nicely.

Ric Flair isn't impossible. It may be impossible right now, but you kinda went nuts for someone bringing up such an insane idea. The HHH comment was dumber than the Ric Flair one, and if TNA could ever land Ric Flair that would do wonders. Since the two of them are raised, I would like to see HHH get the 17th title reign to pass Flair, only to have Flair win the TNA title, and see how WWE approaches that haha

 

[Nero89]

lol yeah they wouldnt know what to do bout that. hhh now 17 time world champion!!! shit flair 18!!!hhh 18!!! flair 19!!!

 

[King Patrick Star]

the main event mafia is supposed to contain main event veterans. neither of those men are veterans or main eventers.

I was going for the fact that they are former World Champs, but Veterans is probably the better approach for the M. E. Mob, so I’ll give you that one.

Even though he is/was a main eventer and former world champion and a vet in the bidness, that would be a GIANT MISTAKE. i wouldn't be able to stand

Double J, in this case, wouldn't be the HHH of the group, but more like the VKM part. He has the power, so having the TNA World Title isn't or wouldn't be his main concern in this case, but instead, making sure one of the members do.

Wrestlers, like actors, never “retire”. I didn’t say put Flair in a match with Foley for the TNA World Title, although…never mind. My point here was to add his “Name Value” to the Stable of World Champions. Flair’s role in the Mafia would be that of a manager. It worked for Evolution, it can sure as hell work for 5 World Champions.

I agree with Loki. Lashley just doesn't fit for some odd reason and again, Flair isn't impossible...later.

 

[jrumpi]

The new member should absoulotly be bobby lashley , it fits in the story so well ok here how it goes :

as we know at the begging of the story the MEM were destroying the originals
. now the originals are back with vengeance and they are killing the MEM , so the MEM needs some one young to help them ,so they pick up lashly as if he is the (Hit man) . Now TNA will make lashly like goldberg ( an unbeatable monster ) where he destroys aj and daniels and the tna roster , (while joe is in this nation of violence ,where he lost his mind he fights heels and faces and he is kicked out of the originals ) . But now aj is trying to help joe to come back to his sinces and asks him as if he is the last hope and the only guy that can help beat down lashly , and TNA will build on that where we finally have Lashly VS The old Joe at BFG !! .

 

[tnarage2]

i agree flair would never be in tna and tripleh would be in the wwe until the day he dies... on the other hand my pick for the mem new member would be my top 5 picks 5. jeff hardy because his contract expires in july and he hasnt resign his contract 4.mick foley (most likely he would) 3. jeff jarret (same as foley) 2.maybe john cena......jk it would be the warrior 1. my number one pick for the mem new member would be machoman randy savage because if he ever returns to wrestling you know he would never sign with the wwe again..... and i see him feuding with leathal having him thinking that lethal was making fun of him.

 

[Nero89]

leathal was good in ring for the most part like msot xdivision wrestlers but i agree that his gimick was pretty weird and that id pay to see savage vs him lol

 

[RuKDaD]

I think the Main Event Mafia needs a new member but I think it should be a young guy or someone else besides Lashley. Maybe Robert Roode or someone like that, how about A.J. that would be a cool change in alliances.

 

[Ushiku]

I think they should use Bobby Lashley, he is a former world champion, and because he's young he could be their young hitman. I could see a typical Impact style brawl in the ring between Frontline and MEM, only for Bobby Lashley to come in, Angle looks scared, and then suddenly he turns on Frontline taking out AJ Styles and instigating a MEM beatdown.

I think it could be Rhyno, as he's a former world champion, however I don't see that happening unless he was the hired muscle of MEM, as he's not got the mic skills of Booker T or Sting... Angle is a bit hit and miss, and Steiner shouldn't be allowed near a mic.

If anyone would be chosen past or present to join MEM, it'd be good if Bobby "The Brain" Heenan came into MEM, he was a great manager, has great knowledge of wrestling... and is one of the few classic managers who are still around. He could have the retired Don who still talks smack persona, and accompany MEM members to matches and join in interviews and cut promos, he could even use his announcing experience as a heel commentator.

 

[Flava Flav's PMing Bitch]

Just kind of wanted to comment on something. Why does everyone keep going on about "Oh Flair would never go to TNA, and blah, blah, blah." When the question was if you could put anyone you wanted in the MEM who would it be.

This post isn't about what could and couldn't happen it is what you'd want to happen. You know like if I were a god like being I might make it rain Gummy bears every Tuesday, we all know it will never happen but I'd like it to.

 

[Nuzzi824]

I think TNA should sign psycho Sid. I have been hearing that he wanted to make a comeback and he would fit perfectly the MEM.

 

[hArdyPUNKmArk]

1. I think it should be Mick Foley. Imagine Sting bails on the MEM now he's lost his title and sort of does the loner thing. He doesnt fight the MEM but he doesnt help them either. The MEM are getting worried that they don't have any kind of champ and the Foley joins the group as the World Champ. He fits the best out of anyone on the roster i think.

2. I think if i could use anyone from the current TNA roster it would still be Mick Foley. My reasons are above.

3. If i could uese ANYONE from ANY promotion PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE then i would go with Ric Flair. Haha, go ahead and bag this post too but if any of you had read what King Patrick was asking you would have noted that he asked anyone from anywhere anytime in an ideal world. It would never happen but if it could then it would fit perfectly. He wouldnt need to wrestle or win titles. Just his presence alone would be an awesome fit the MEM. And Flair as a heel is pretty good. The only issue would be a Flair heel would probably have to be the leader and at the same time so does Angle so not sure how that would work out.

Anyways, they're my picks.

 

[huntmaster86]

maybe tommy dreamer? an ecw original perhaps would do well. they're also pretty easy to get a hold of nowadays too, lol. or perhaps taz?

 

[Tenta]

1. I think the next logical choice to become a member of the Main Event Mafia is Bobby Lashley. He's not a member of the Frontline, as he certainly wasn't with TNA in it's early beginnings. If Bobby Lashley is to become an impact player (no pun intended), he should be placed into the main feud that is taking place in TNA right now. That means he has to become a member of the MEM. He is a former main-eventer, and could argue that he has all of the qualifications. Plus, Bobby Lashley.... well, how should I put this one gently....


Bobby Lashley needs to be kept farther away from a microphone than a Jewish man from a bacon factory. For all of his credentials, he simply can't cut a money promo to save his life. At least within the MEM, he can be protected by Kurt Angle, Kevin Nash, etc. He can work as a muscle man, an enforcer to the group. What's more, he can be called upon "special occasions" (explaining his limited schedule due to his MMA fighting) to take on any challengers to the MEM's leader, Kurt Angle. With the MEM, he doesn't have to cut promos. All he has to do is become a bad ass, and basically portray the character he was in the WWE. That is, until he's ready to break out on his own, and challenge Kurt Angle (after a couple acting classes, of course.) That is, unless you're looking for promo gold like this little nugget right here:

2. Who would I have join?

Cute Kip. That's who.

Actually, in all seriousness, I'd have to go with Jeff Jarrett. I just don't think he can draw a a face, and needs to revert to an evil boss heel. Have the MEM getting protection from a corrupt TNA hierarchy. No one believes in the idea of a face owner going against a heel organization, what's the reasoning to get behind the higher-ups of a corporation? We can't relate to that, but we can sure as hell relate to hating our boss. I wonder where I've heard this recipe work.....

3. Out of anyone? Hmmm....

I think 'd have to go with Hulk Hogan. This is the greatest main eventer of all time. This man personifies what the MEM is all about. He doesn't have to stay around very long. Maybe a year or two. What kind of coup would this be for TNA? I know, you won't get exactly five star matches. But he would put butts in the seats. And when the time (and money) is right, he'll put over a wrestler if he feels it will put a great amount of money into the company (and yes, his) wallet. I just feel it'd work, for some strange reason.

 

[GameOver]

Lashley isn't a Main Event legend anyway, that'd be another slap in the face to the actual talent in TNA.

Foley ok thats a possibility. but better yet scrap the crap it all together, write Nash and Steiner off the show all together they offer absolutely nothing other than making the young guys look really good as performers compared to how sucky these "legends" are now.

Bring back the real "5 time WCW" champion Booker T. not this pussy who can't decide who he is from minute to minute.

The whole MEM is rediculous anyway, ok they are all Legends of sorts, but Angle is the self professed leader and he doesn't give a shit about the rest of them and has said so yet they follow him like sheep. Least in Evolution and say the 4 horseman etc. it wasn't totally obvious there was descent and they didn't stick together once the descent became public, thats how you book a faction. Not put 5 guys who all think they are the Big Dog and yet blindly follow someone else cause he sais he is better than them.

Other issue there's no frontline anymore for them to battle anyway. That fizzled really quick. AJ style and Christopher Daniels and Jeff Parrot wow. against 5 legends.
Samoa Joe and his Nation of Boredom is dead

 

[Mr.RKO]

I think writing Nash and Steiner out of action would be better, give them like a fake injury so they cant wrestle for a while, meanwhile have Matt Morgan join the MEM. Now I realize he has doesnt quiet fit the group, but thats the point, they could help mold him into the monster he is trying to be. Imagine having Morgan learn from some of the best wrestlers in the business today. ( Nobody can deny the through out their careers the MEM individually sold out arenas... NOBODY) Look at like this Nash can teach him mic skills and how to be a succesful big man, Angle/Booker T can show him how to improve his in ring work, Steiner and Sting can watch. TNA already planted the idea that he might be joining the Mafia last night on Impact, so far tho there is no response as to whether he is in or not.

This is the part where you have to tilt your head to the side like Will Smith from Fresh Prince and day dream ( I know that was a totally from left field) but Imagine Bobby Lashley and Matt Morgan as the top bad a55e5 Mafia, they would be almost unstoppable until Angle fills as tho he is being out shined and betrays them then they can join up with the Frontline and crush the Mafia.

 

[King Patrick Star]

This idea is great. A group of former World Champion molding the next Champ. They could easily have Morgan believably beat Mick Foley or whoever is holding the TNA Title at the time of executing this storyline and boom, Matt is qualified for the M. E. Mob. From there, he could even feud with Lashley over the Title, or they could run the “Orton out of Evolution” storyline and have Morgan face one of the other members. From that point, they could then put Lashley in the “Batista out of Evolution” storyline. Kurt Angle would play a great HHH role and Nash could play the Flair role. Scott is Scott. He could play the Eugene role. Just kidding. Great idea, Mr.RKO.

 

[Mr.RKO]

I have a whole lot of other ideas for TNA to improve their product.

 

[King Patrick Star]

It finally happened!! The two things I love about wrestling has once again come together, Titles and Stables. There is nothing more I love that to see a dominate Stable control all the Titles, even for a short period of time (one month, at the very very least). I must say, I totally, well, SMarked out for this, as most of you should know. With the addition of Joe and Taz as the new members of the Mob, what’s next for this Team?? Will the M. E. Mob move in the direction of the Horsemen and continue to dominate, or is last night the peak of the “Greatest Collection of World Champions…Ever”??

Okay, fine, I’ll go ahead and ask the "good" questions.
What about the X and KO Titles??
What about Matt??
What about Bobby??
What about Sting??
