The Critic Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 This starts off sounding promising, but the bolded part spells BAD news for fans of TNA: Hulk Hogan appeared on SportFM in Perth, Australia to promote the Hulkamania tour this weekend and said he's going to listen to the TNA fans and give them what they want. The Hulkster said: "I'm not going to keep shoving a bunch of terrible, horrible, stale programming down their throats. (In TNA), I'm going to take the writers and tell them, 'Go get another job. Sit in the back. If I need you to write a jingle for a commercial, maybe we'll use you for that.'" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I'd go 80% for Russo, 20% for "I'm Gonna Control This b****". Not that Russo's any better, but a Russo-for-Hogan swap is a lateral move at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 They never had writers back in the day. Wrestlers did their own promos. Angles were done on the fly and they seemed more natural and could last longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHizzle85 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Hogan, go sit down somewhere. Anywho, Survivor Series was decent. Nothing too special. I'm glad they booked Kofi to look excellent last night. The title matches were good. I just hope (but not getting my hopes up) that they freshen up the Raw title scene just a bit.

Kofi is on fire right now. Getting super over. Was hoping for a Jericho W. We are probably heading for HBK/HHH at Manis which is fine. Would like to see if for the title but they always have great matches together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I actually really liked Heidenreich at the end when he was in the Legion of Doom with Animal shortly after Hawk died. I think he had a mental break or something about being unable to be near his kids for long periods of time that made him quit WWE, but I did enjoy his last couple of months with the E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Well, at one point in time this would have been bad news, but that time has long passed and now this is actually a relief: [courtesy sescoops.com] The ECW brand will be put to rest once and for all in the near future. According to a reliable source, WWE officials have had several meetings with the Syfy network about re-branding WWE’s Tuesday night show. Both sides are in agreement that WWE’s version of ECW has been a bust and plans are already being made for a new weekly series. While several ideas have been tossed around (including a magazine-style recap show), right now the most likely option is that WWE will drop the ECW letters and “identity” (whatever that is) and create a new brand that will feature young and-and-coming stars. The Tuesday night timeslot will likely stay the same. WWE relaunched the ECW brand back in 2006 after the undeniable success of the “Rise and Fall of ECW” DVD set and later the ECW One Night Stand Pay-Per-View events. After ECW was relaunched as a brand, it quickly became apparent that WWE had no intention of keeping the elements that made the original ECW special and turned ECW into a watered-down, generic “C” show. The first week of ECW on Syfy back in 2006 drew around a 2.4. These days a 1.1 is considered a good week. While it may be bittersweet to see the ECW letters go, ECW has been dead for a long time and a brand featuring primarily young stars sounds like it has potential. Stay tuned for the latest.

The Critic Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Oh Christ. This smells like the Millionaire's Club/New Breed angle again: http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/tna/5209.html Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter - The long-term idea to run with once Hulk Hogan comes in is to go with two separate teams, one that Hogan would lead and the other being led by Mick Foley. Dixie Carter was going to be a big player in the storylines but it's said that criticism gets to her and because of the criticism she's received in certain circles, she made the call to be more low-key with her involvement. The current plan is to still have her in the storylines but not as big a role as originally planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
