Hulk Hogan issues "The Final Warning" states TNA is "real"

[TellerMorrow34]

It may very well be funny but it's a funny that I'll be gladly skipping out on.

I cannot imagine anybody watching that.

Spike had a midget wrestling show last year sometime pulling .6 ratings, was top 50 program on cable. Why, I could not tell you, but people are into it

 

[Cowboy Brian]

When I've watched I'd say it's pretty much 50/50. Actually maybe a slight edge to what would be considered 'smaller' Main eventers because outside of Abyss and Morgan, who've had their moments in the main event in the last few years, I can't think of anyone who would actually fit the bill of 'big'.

Now you're the guy who watches TNA regularly so you'll recall more of their roster than I will but outside of Morgan and Abyss I don't recall to many guys that are Taker, Kane, Big Show, kind of big.

Unless they mean big as in HHH, Rock, Cena, type of big, which I refer to as the middle sized guys. In which case then you'd throw some more TNA names in there and it would get back to more of that 50/50 I would think.

I was including people that big. I mean, when you look at WWE ypu have Mysterio who no one would call big, Punk whos just average sized.... Niether company is going heavy on big guys, thank god, so it was just zrinkill calling me out for the 1000th time.

 

[zrinkill]

Punk whos just average sized....

Agreed


But he still towers over TNA guys like AJ and Joe.

And we are still waiting for your "I told ya so" thread.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

huh....in that picture AJ just looks even smaller than I thought he was. It almost looks like if Noble was standing straight up that him and AJ would almost be the same height and such.

Pretty interesting.

Yeah a lot of smaller to mid sized guys. There does seem to be a shortage of the huge main event type guys that used to be all over the place.

and I also said the 2nd raw after SummerSlam for months, either way. So your just being obnoxious.


That picture was from 2005.

Much more recent, looks like from 2009 or so, still more recent. (he got a tattoo on abs in like 2009. Gained much more muscle since then)

Hes gotten alot bigger.

&Punk does not tower over AJ or Joe at all, they are both bigger. If your looking at modern day main eventers, Del Joke, Miz, Punk, Styles, J.Hardy, Mr Anderson, AJ is on the bigger side. I only mentioned people that popped into mind that have become main eventers since mid 09.

Thank god for that, they are awful workers.

Crimson is a 5x worker compared to Goldberg or the other dozen or so muscled up guys that got pushed. Scott Steiner was probably the best of the bunch.

that picture you posted also had a terrible angle, and punk standing on a ledge or something

They are about the same height.

Medium sized WWE guys like Bret Hart and CM Punk tower over Styles ....... sorry ....... he is the size of Evan Bourn.

Noble is the 3rd pic down
Styles is the 8th pic down
Bourn is the 13th pic down
RVD is the 27th pic down
Bret Hart is the 64th pic down.

I would say TNA has just as big main eventers as WWE. Come on now.. Miz? Punk? Truth? Mysterio? Morrison? Christian?

None of these guys are big. Del Rio isn't someone i would call "big" either.

Truths pretty big. Morrison is like orton, being bigger would hurt

 

[DallasGirl50]

ADR IS tall..he towered over me...he is at least 6'4" or 6'5. I'm a gal but to me that is a big guy.

That is a lie as well ...... first time you said that was 3 weeks ago (a week and a half before summerslam)

Oh I know. I wasn't meaning that WWE had to many huge guys either. My comment was just in reference to the idea that TNA was all really small guys, which I wasn't in agreement with.


And I'll agree with R2A to an extent on the thank God about the big guy thing. I don't like to have a huge number of them, because you wind up getting plenty of guys who, IMHO, suck in the ring.

But I absolutely do like seeing there be big wrestlers if they're good at what they're doing like Taker, Kane, Abyss. If more could be like those guys I'd be totally cool with a lot more huge guys in the main events of wrestling shows.


And unless Punk leaves this Monday, which would be the second RAW after Summerslam, then it's still going to be wrong.

Here's a hint. He ain't leaving this Monday either.

 

[zrinkill]

I never said there was a lot of Big guys in the main event in WWE.

I just said that Average size TNA guys are small guys in WWE .....

This post proves it.

Guys who were considered "average" size in WWE and WCW are a lot taller than "average" guys in TNA like the machine guns and styles.

The August 18 episode of Impact Wrestling scored a 1.05 cable rating, down from 1.07 the week before. It was the program's lowest rating since June 9 and second-lowest rating of 2011.

Impact averaged 1,455,000 viewers over the course of two hours, down from 1,540,000 last week.

Impact's rating has continuously dropped since July 20, which garnered a 1.26 cable rating. July 27 drew 1.20; August 4 drew 1.14; August 11 drew 1.07.

I thought Sting as the Joker was really over? Uh..guess not. They lost me & won't get me back till he drops that crap....probably more due to Hogan. He is so lame.

What does he mean about no longer being fake?
