The Return of "The Alpha Male" to TNA!?

[kingdom_come]

Recently The Alpha Male Monty Brown uploaded a new picture to his official myspace page. The picture was of him standing in the ring speaking into the microphone.

As everyone knows he is out of wrestling right now so why would he choose to upload such a picture right now?

At the very least he is thinking about the sport of wrestling.

Could he be returning to TNA?

That is more likely than WWE ... but I guess we'll see.


*** Search the engines for Monty Brown and came up with zip. ***


DONT KNOW HOW THIS ENDED ON THE BOARD TWICE!!!

Well the return of the Alpha Male could go one of two ways.

It could lead to the return of a face/heel character whose finisher the fans loved to see week in and week out. The Pounce looks great in a TNA ring and his stiff style plays well with the current TNA product. He also got a couple of choice wins over CM PUnk in the WWE, and could curtail that into a good push in TNA as well.

It could also lead to the fans screaming that TNA is just a place for WWE rejects and castaways. He lost some crucial matches and never had the chance to develop his character very well. His skills also never got the chance to be exposed to some development with true ring experience. He also could be booed out of his socks and buried if he comes back.

This could go either way. It all depends on if your theory is true, if Monty has been practicing, and how much time he would be able to dedicate to the rise of TNA. Only time will be able to tell though.

IIRC, didn't he leave TNA on not so great terms? I preferred him in TNA, but his push never got established the way it should. I'm sure many of us recall the DDP/Jarrett match where Monty Brown turned heel and joined Jarrett's crew. That was the end of his push, and ended up riding the curtails of Jarrett the rest of the way.

In WWE he was sort of iffy, because he was never seen as the legitimate threat for any serious business as he was in TNA. His style was a contrast to what TNA usually had at the time (X Division), and was one of the true heavyweights in TNA. I felt the loss of Brown was more detrimental to TNA than they will ever know. If they could gain Brown back it would be HUGE IMHO.

 

[D.Miller]

Yeah, I hope Monty Brown returns to TNA. Nothing like a good ole Pounce finisher. I love to see him charge his opponents with it, comes off with intensity. He's extremely live in color and very full of personality when he's in TNA in contrast to his tenure in the WWE as Marcus Cor Von that never genuinely impressed or worked. I saw right through him in WWE, no lie. There was nothing the creative could possibly think of to boost him and make him stand out. But TNA gaining back his services in their organization would surely benefit them as long as they present him opportunities, treat him the right way, and allow him and his character to blossom once again. TNA is definitely the atmosphere for The Alpha Male.

 

[healyz84]

He just never had a chance in the wwe, as he just was not there long enough. Sure he might be a good enough, great on the mic, great finisher, but he still had developing to do. Plus he was ecw, and as a heel for ecw you don't have much of a selection for opponents. He was involved in the new breed as the enforcer of the group, which could have led to something afterwards, but soon after that story he disappeared. If he does return, it will more than likely be with the wwe.

 

[Total Impact]

Monty Brown has family issues and I doubt he will be able to ever return to wrestling. He is taking care of his sister kids and from what I've heard, that is more important than wrestling and I think he is doing a better job being a parent right now and that wrestling should be the last thing on his mind. Plus the WWE said that he has a job anytime he wants, so if was to go back to wrestling it would be for WWE as the money would help more than what TNA can give.

 

[SpiralHands]

I hope he does return to TNA I mean he was great in TNA and one of the few talents I would actually call home grown TNA talent. His finisher was awesome and looked amazing in a TNA ring, he suited TNA big time but never really got that push he needed. To be honest as much as I would like to see him back in TNA I dont think theres room for him. I mean where would he go? Straight to midcard and be stuck there more than likely. He could have been a big star in TNA but I dont think TNA or him realised that. But yeah would be nice to seem him back there.

 

[Father:_Polley]

Monty Brown was good in TNA. he was good, but not outstanding. he'd have stayed at Umaga level, dominating the mid card but jobbing to the big names when it mattered. granted he'd be doing the same in WWE, but for better money.

as far as his return goes...yeah, he's looking after his family and i don't forsee the guy turning his back on his family to return to the ring. TNA's schedule is the only reason he'd return, but i don't see him coming back

 

[punk_dfc]

TNA should only get Brown back if they will use him properly. In my opinion, he was the one TNA original that they could have made into a true superstar. He had the look, the charisma and while his in-ring work was nothing special, he still produced some great matches; the one with Jarrett on iMPACT in 2004 springs to mind.

If Brown did come back, he should not be thrown in meaningless tag-teams with Kip James or used as Jarrett's lackey. He should be booked as he was in 2004 in TNA when he seemed like the breakout star they needed.

 

[3_Nickels]

I think that if he comes back it should be with WWE. Other than his name (Cor Von sucks I'm sorry) he was okay over in WWE. I do believe a push was coming for him until these issues arose and I think WWE can offer a lot more to his career. ECW Champion wasn't out of reach, I mean they gave it to Chavo so who knows. Wish him the best though.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

I really hate to mix wrestling companies, but if Monty Brown/Marcus Cor Von returns to wrestling, I would naturally assume the doors are still open for him to return to the W.W.E. In fact, this would be a great time for him to return, to be the 'monster' heel to go up against Kane.

As far as him returning to T.N.A., well the sad thing is.. Monty Brown was viewed in his original beginning with T.N.A. as what Samoa Joe now is. They had Brown undefeated for a while if I recall, until Jeff Jarrett defeated him. (I could be wrong) The thing is, Brown never truly got over like Joe.. and if he ever does return, he'll never be in the league of Heavyweights thats there now.

He has a better chance of being the guy to defeat Kane for the E.C.W. Championship, then he does of being anything important in T.N.A. anymore.

 

[Kfabe]

Right, I'm not sure on the reasons behind Monty Brown's exit to WWE in the first place so I hold back from having an opinion.
However, if he chose to leave when TNA still wanted to keep him, then TNA shouldn't take him back.
As the saying goes, "made your bed..........."

 

[The Great Khali]

TNA missed a golden opportunity to make the 'Alpha Male' a long term main eventer during his first run so why would anybody think they'd not miss another opportunity seeing as they've demonstrated consistently that they won't learn from their mistakes?

Never really liked the Marcus Cor Von name in WWE but if given a chance the guy could easily have been a headliner in the Intercontinental/U.S title division before possibly ascending to the main event.

 

[TapOrSnapFTW]

Honestly, Monty Brown should come back and go to TNA. I've been arguing this for months. Fuck Vince and what he did. Marcus Cor Von on ECW was stupid. He's easily IC title worthy EASY. He's a beast. He could have amazing matches with Umaga week in and out. He competed with the best in TNA and always came for more.

He should return to TNA and he should definitely get a bigger push. Unfortunately, when it was about his time in NWA/TNA to see a title reign, Jeff Hardy was fired and Jeff Jarrett and TNA "jumped for joy" and picked him up. But, title shot clause came in immediately and Brown was pushed back, then never looked at again as everyone started seeing TNA and Abyss's time came.

Vince fucked Cor Von, PERIOD.

Marcus Cor Von wasn't screwed by Vince, he left because of family issues. His sister died and he took time out to look after her kids. Thats why he hasn't made the jump back to TNA - he's retired for the moment.

I'd have loved to see him develop because he definately had the potential to make it any company he went to. ECW was only a temporary thing to break him in and build him up. what's wrong with that

 

[africonda]

Alpha-Male would never return to TNA, i dont remember where i heard it, but he was facing a lot of racism while in TNA and that is the real reason why when he was really getting over, he just became a lackey of jarret. come to think of it, konnan talked about it in one of the 5150 segments. He was wasted in TNA and i think he would be a waste on ECW, they should put him on smackdown, team him up with mvp or something. But TNA , he definately should not go back to TNA, if they got their heads out of their asses with the racism, they could really have made something with him, now if anything id see them stick him in a fued with roode or something for 4 months like they wasted the momentum booker had

 

[Fizzy]

ive always loved the guy he was an awsome performer. he was my favorite performer in tna bak then but i think when he came to wwe they gave em that bull crap gimmick as cor von with that gay ass music but i still loved em. i love his mic skills and his finisher that and the canadian destroyer are my favorites. i know the guy is taking care of his family and that is wonderful and i wish em the best but i seriously hope he returns to tna

 

[he6rt6gr6m]

Id be pretty miffed if MB returned to TNA.

I was a fan of his years ago, when he was a monster. Now, I think the WWE did the wrong things with him, and he doesnt seem to have that "threat" anymore.

Plus, if he was to return to TNA, I cant see what they would actually do with him.

I mean, if they cant find something to do with Chris Daniels, who, in my eyes is one hell of a talented athlete, then how would they cope with Brown?

 

[Junox50]

I can't believe the praise Monty's getting in this thread.

Monty Brown sucked in the ring and on the mic. He had one of the worst finishers in wrestling and a cartoony gimmick that couldn't be taken seriously. He cut some of the worst promos and always rambled so much about crap it was like watching the Ultimate Warrior again. Except he had no charisma at all and people didn't care for his matches.

TNA wanted him to develop his skills by taking indy dates, but he refused and stayed green. If anything, TNA were right to let him go because of that. I'm surprised Monty got pushed as much as he did when he was in TNA.

Granted, I'm not saying he couldn't amount to anything. I think he had potential. He just needed to develop it, but he never did.

I don't see him coming back. He's got responsibilities as a parent now and that's more important.

 

[Mr Wrestlemania]

Now that Monty Brown has returned to the ring this discussion has a whole new meaning to it.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=FnJqQ_qfSac (The Return)


Now back .. which promotion should Monty Brown focus on returning to?

1. TNA
2. WWE
3. Stay in the Indies

Assuming Monty Brown is still taking care of his sister's children, with possibly no help, I think it's safe to say he'd stay in the indies. He'd be able to pick and choose his bookings and work on his terms rather than be binded to a contract that may force him away from his family. He could also opt for TNA due to the fact that they tape exclusively in Orlando, but then again he'd be on the road for house shows. WWE I could only see him going back to for more money. I think his choice will ultimately be based on what's best for himself and his family of course.

 

[TomSmithUK]

I have so much respect for this guy for what he is doing, and wherever he goes I wish him the best of luck. I honestly believed he'd be an ECW champion, then moved over to Raw or Smackdown in the WWE, and become a big star. He had the gimmick, the look, the pounce, whilst effectively a shoulder block had that Wow factor that so many finishers lack (ahem, all those neckbreakers, I'm looking at you).

I hope wherever he goes, be it, TNA/WWE or the Indies he gets the respect he deserves

 

[Mark78]

The thing that would make TNA more appealing is they do most of their house shows on the weekend. Monty would be in the smae situation Homicide is in . Cide is a single parent but gets a babysitter for the weekend when he do shows. Monty wouldn't have that chance with WWE. TNA needs him he could do what Joe can't seem to do get ratings. When Monty was in TNA people could see the breakout star ability. I love Joe but he don't have the mainstream mic skills, or gifts Monty has to offer.

 

[tha_icon85]

I really hope he goes back to wwe although I loved his character in tna he would get a better chance @ becoming a household name in the wwe. it may not be the best decision for his homes situation but since we dnt on wht that is wwe could be a great situation. maybe the rest of the family is helping out so he can get back too his dream and the ability to make the most cash to send back for assistance would be ideal. back to wrestling. wwe is a way better avenue to develop and star than tna. and although they have dropped the ball. if theyy rebuted him while a next big thing gimmick /alpha male mayb even stick him with a credible star or manager like they did brock he would be huge in a year or so for sure he's a natural showman and can grab the pulse of the crowd wit the tease of the pounce

 

[zackbluedevil]

ok hes not going To WWE or Tna or wrestling at the moment
he just made a surprise return to the ring at pcw wrestling which is in Arlington texas
by where i live and its just a place for rookie wrestlers who tend on trying to make it big
or just wrestle for the fans and dont care for WWE or TNA

 

[phat_inallthegoodplaces]

wwe would be best for his character and his wallet. vince just needs to make sure he gets the right kind of push and placement on raw. i'm sure if he went to tna he would have a good rivalry with someone like rhino after squashing a few mid carders, but it wouldn't be as good as a gig with wwe.
