TNA Major Breaking News (possible Spoiler)

[Cowboy Brian]

It wasn't too long ago that Russo and Jarrett got together and had Jarrett lay down in the middle of the ring and have Hogan pin him and give up the belt to Hogan and create a new belt for WCW.

Why?

Because Hogan had creative control and wouldn't do the job.

Don't get me wrong, Russo is a joke. But he did have a point here...how could anybody book a wrestling promotion when Hogan could just show up and want to work and wouldn't job?

The problem that wrestling companies have is that when they need funding, the money people want the big names...particularly Hogan and Nash...if they are going to invest. But the money people don't understand that wrestling is about the ability to develop new stars. Ideally you want the big names to give the young and up-n-comers the rub...but the big names almost never want to do that anymore.

There are a few exceptions, in TNA Kurt Angle, Sting come to mind immediately. I can not remember the last time Angle won a match clean 1 on 1, and Sting when he's not getting his bi-yearly main event push (this is probably the last one) puts over people like no other star of his level does. Samoa Joe is currently in the process of pushing Crimson to the main event aswell.

In WWE, Undertaker puts people over, but he hasn't been on TV. CM Punk aswell, and when WWE is not pushing John Cena as Superman, he has created the biggest star of the last 5 years IMO, Edge with their 2006 feud, and recently made The Miz an established main eventer. He doesn't need to be shoved down peoples throats anymore, he should be putting people over. The fault is on creative, not him. He is willing to do it whenever asked.

Mick Foley and The Rock are both two of the absolute best examples of stars that willingly put people over when they're wrestling.

HBK, when he returned, was also absolutely great about doing it but when I think of people who could currently do these things, and would, The Rock and Foley immediately come to mind.

Funk was always great about it to.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I never really cared for the Rock.....I mean it may not make sense but I liked the Rock

Thanks for clearing that up.

 

[Cowboy Brian]

Thanks for clearing that up.

well you cut half of it out and made me look like an idiot.. I was saying I never cared for him on the level that most wrestling fans do.

I was going to say HBK, but as with Miles Austin whenever I say something positive about it, I can expect multiple responses consisting of " "

All 4 of them were great at it, but out of active wrestlers Angle and Sting are the best at it, no doubt

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Yeah Angle and Sting are good about it, no doubt.

Sting always has been. It's one of the reasons I've always really respected him.

Its one of the reasons I've always respected Taker and Kane as well (Two guys I failed to mention last time but should have) cause they've always willing did so as well.

That's one of the qualities of a truely great entertaining, IMO, and sets those guys apart is the willingless to not worry about their silly W/L column and do whats right.

Almost all the old timers would put the younger wrestlers over...Wahoo, Steamboat, Rhodes, Flair. I personally think Punk is genius at it....

Punk is mis used, IMO. He is so close to that Orton-Cena level of overness, but they seem content on jobbing him out until he leaves in a few months.

Punk is as solid as they come. You say he's leaving..others say he's not. Just something else to argue about.

His contract is rumored is up in July.

He's not resigning, Zrinkill making up a CM Punk tweet is not a counter argument.

You really shouldn't accuse him of an untruth...not that he cares really I'm sure.

well if you look at CMPunks twitter, he never once responded to a question saying "just a stupid internet rumor" so its more than fair.

It's never fair to accuse somebody of lying when you really don't know but I will leave that for you to live & learn.

CM Punk's twitter is very easily read by anyone, so it's not really accusing him of lying.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Rather he posted on twitter or not you're almost as bad by saying he's not resigning, as if you're in the know or buddies with Punk.

You don't know that he won't resign and posting it as if it's a fact is just as much a lie as making up a twitter post that didn't happen.

Well I'm not saying it, rather quoting then20 or so wrestling news sites that reported it, and since pwinsiders mike Johnson broke the story, I believe it filly. He also said Punk won't go to TNA, and most likely will return o ROH for a year or two before going back to WWE. Reasoning is not money, they offered him a 1million+ a year, plus bonuses. He believes he is misused and can be much bigger star than he is used as.... And he is right

 

[zrinkill]

Thanks for clearing that up.

:laugh2:

The child does not even know how twitter works.

But you are right ...... I do not care about a thing he says.

Really wish you guys would stop quoting him. :laugh2:

 

[zrinkill]

And just to Be clear ....... CM punk did send me a twitter saying is was a rumor 2 months ago after the European tour. Now was he telling the truth? I do not know ...... we are not buddies or anything, I am sure he private tweets a lot of people.

I could care less if the Boy wonder Believes it or not. Please stop quoting him if he is commenting about me.

Now Back to wrestling topic.

Kharma Breaks WWE Character, Announces She’s Pregnant

During tonight’s WWE RAW broadcast on USA Network, Kharma (formerly named Awesome Kong in TNA Wrestling) announced that she was pregnant on-air, which surprised a lot of people considering that it didn’t seem like her character she has been portraying on television for nearly a month. In a twist, Kharma — who has attacked both babyface and heel Divas as of late — turned babyface with her promo inside the ring while the heel Bella Twins came out and insulted her, possibly setting a match between Kharma and the Bellas when she returns. WWE is already receiving praise from fans on Twitter and Facebook for allowing her the opportunity to announce the pregnancy live on the air instead of going another route until she returned.
