Professor Paul's Bin Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I really like TNA but I haven't watched it since Lockdown there is some stuff I want to see such as the Aries/Ray feud which happened, the Two Robbies and Roode's impressive title reign. The tag division seems like it is picking up and Sacrifice has some good rep so I will check that out tonight on ChallengeIt's just the overuse of Hogan being so damn lame in his 'GM' role (what is his actual role?), then Garrett being an absolute disgrace at everything in life (DIE DIE DIE) and Crimson being really awful. These have just turned me away for abit.I'm not saying TNA is shit by any means, it's pretty decent altogether Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted May 16, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 16, 2012 The overuse of Hogan (who wasn't on it last week, the week before, or at the PPV, or scheduled to be on the next PPV, and only used a few times in the next fortnight). I don't know how they fit anything else into two hours, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I really like Hogan as GM. That's the only role he should be doing nowadays - the face of the company, the popular face, matchmaking and helping to put heels over by being angry at them, and all that. It's the best he's been used since joining TNA, apart I guess for the match with Sting, but that took a year of shite to set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted May 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 17, 2012 This may get me to start watching the show again. Especially with the promise of them doing stuff. Maybe Goldberg decided against NXT and signed up to TNA instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzfan Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 The nasty boyz now this. Whoever next?The Nasty Boyz were in TNA for about 2 months, over 2 years ago. They put over Team 3D and cut some fun promos. In other words, sod off. Hogan has not been bringing in all his mates like some divvy smarks said he would.I'm still hoping for Beefcake to get a TV Title run, mind.

Joey Joe Joe Jr Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 After seeing this, I'm about 33% more confident that the Steiner rants on Twitter are part of an angle and this is bait for him to "comment" on. This is like dangling a handcuffed Russo in front of Cornette (not in a sexual way). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooke is NOT going to be a wrestler ... but rather an executive who will be tasked to develop female talent.We're told Brooke's duties will help up and coming she-wrestlers develop their characters, help with backstage promos and even consult on entrance music.Carter tells us, "Brooke is such a great talent who's really sharp and will make a great addition to the TNA family."Is she in any position to help the knockouts. They have experienced female talent like Mickie James, Tara, Gail Kim, Sarita who would be more beneficial to help build than the division than Brooke. Basically its like bringing in Lacey Von botch all over again ok shes got wrestling in her blood but doesnt mean she knows what shes doing.
