I think wrestling will get very interesting soon enough. TNA has just signed a deal with Spike TV which can only be good news for wrestling fans. I strongly urge everyone who hasn't seen TNA to give it a chance. The product is spectacular. How could you not like a fed with workers like AJ Styles, Somoa Joe, Petey Williams, etc?

There's also rumblings of Ted Turner starting up another wrestling promotion. I know there's talks almost every month about this but this time it seems to be a little more legit.

The ONLY way wrestling can be fixed right now is if WWE fire their current crop of writers and remove HHH and Stephanie's influence on TV. Add some competition and things will be back to the way it was.

TNA getting a TV deal is a step in the right direction. Things can only go up from here.

TNA just signed this past week, it is a done deal. It will start up when teh WWE's deal with Spike is done and TNA will take Velocity's time slot. It also looks like they are giving Samoa Joe the start of a real big push, and that can be nothing but good for TNA as he is one of the most talented wrestlers I have seen in a long time(and I'm not exactly the biggest Indy mark either).

I think that TNA needs to bring back a lighter form of the territory system. Use ROH in the Northeast, MCW(out of chicago) in the midwest, WIldside for the southeast, and Pro Wrestling Guerilla for Cali. Contract hte main TNA roster out to these feds and work it so that TNA's wrestlers are working every weekend. If they can get more time slots on Spike then they could use one time slot for a roundup of the territories each week and show matches from them, this way they can also have a constant influx of new talent too. TNA also needs to focus on getting pentration going in Britian as wreslting is hot there again and I know that FWA has been getting better and better attendance over the past few years, not to mention that Wrestling is extremely hot in Italy, which can be another good place to make money. If a wrestling compay is creative enough they can make lots of $$$

I agree with Golden Rhino, bring back this guy.....



As Canada's greatest athlete his trademark soundeffect is approximated as a "DDrrrroooooooooffffffff!!!!"

Also, when I was a kid my Dad took me to see Calgary Stampede Wrestling back in like '82. Lot of big name wrestlers came out of there but I'll never forget Bad News Allen when he came to the arena. I think he was the first black guy I had ever seen and he goes, "Listen up all you beer-belly sharecroppers out there!" Bring him back.
