Impact wrestling thread - It's a Don West tribute thread now!

[ColinBollocks]

Roode and Joe have shown that the TNA stink isn't really too important, so long as you're good and, as Maxwell correctly point out, Styles was already a stand out. What is most impressive, though, is his sudden proficiency as a main event promo. Just like the sudden signing itself, I don't think anybody saw that coming.

Does anyone know if Vanguard 1 and Senoir Benjamin have signed TNA contracts? Usually they would announce such things with great gusto, but worried in case NXT snap them up

[Statto]

Triple H should just buy a drone and fly it around the ring at Full Sail. It'd be a bit like the Fake Razor & Diesel deal, but it'd get a reaction.

[Jackpot]

If they had signed him in 2014, would he have been treated as much as a star as they have now?

[NEWM]

I don't read newz sites but through Twitter I saw something about Hardy contracts coming due realtively soon. Is that true? Do TNA even have proper contracts?

 

In this modern era of gaffer HHH bringing all our stupid favourites in, is it completely ludicrous to think Broken Matt and Brother Nero won't make it into NXT en route to Jeff's last crack at stardom and fuck it, Matt's as well. They're well and truly back in the shop window, and are the undisputed "I wish WWE had these TNA wrestlers" champions over James Storm since the rest of the top folk are now all up there.

Jeff being unable to leave the country would be a problem if they were hoping to bring him back full time, they have to be doing injury angles & returns for him every other week.

 

The Broken gimmicks wouldn't have as much free reign as they do in TNA, due to a mix of WWE micromanaging everything and TNA not really having a clue what they're doing most of the time. Matt is booking the broken storyline along with Jeremy Borash, whereas he wouldn't get to do that if they were brought back to WWE

Ask Bram.

Some discussion of this in minor news last week, NEWM.

[IANdrewDiceClay]

WWE could end up buying the lot in a few weeks. Doubt it, because Billy Corgan seems to be the forerunner.

 

There wont be a TNA in a few weeks if Corgan takes over. He said today he's going to change the name of it. Hopefully he gets rid of Josh Matthews. Fucking bloke is the worst. Such a wanker. He makes it hard to watch.

[NEWM]

Cheers Rick. Had missed all that whilst pissing myself at 'Vincest'.

 

So it seems the wise collective UKFF view on Broken Matt to WWE is a 'no', but I still reckon it would port over to NXT exactly as is if Matt was willing to sacrifice the Saturday night money for a taste of one more big Takeover crowd and the slim chance of sneaking back onto a Wrestlemania.

He has a long to say recently. I hope for his (and TNA's) sake that he pulls this off.

[DavidB6937]

It's not going to happen. It won't happen with anyone in charge. They'll stay as they are and that will be that.

Seconded. He's so annoying. Fair play to him pulling Madison Rayne mind.

Genuinely think this will outdraw any stateside TNA Show all year.

TNA have been outdrawn countless times by indie shows using a few of their top stars. The TNA brand is toxic and people don't want to attend their shows.
