Well this time he didn't bring her to the ring, he left her back stage, which made it even worse with a rapist running around. Why the hell wouldn't someone in TNA, with their pantheon of authority figures, step in and put a stop to that? They thought it worth suspending the British Invasion for a post-match beat down that heels do every week.

Yeah, it really was odd. No one seemed to pick up on the tone of it, though, just kept saying how it fired up the roster. Weird.

The TNA talent meeting, held by Dixie Carter at the start of Impact was a legit talent meeting held by Carter at the tapings. The comments were not scripted, and were totally Carter's feelings. Carter was addressing changes in the company, as the recent changes have led to frustrations among the talent. Some feel that this was Carter's way of putting out fires. It was used on TV as a way to build the Hulk Hogan angle.

Thanks for that, virus. That was her way of putting out fires? Oh dear.

How would you put out the fire?

I just thought it gave the wrong message to the talent. It wasn't like Heyman's speech before Barely Legal. That was a motivational speech that would've made Christopher Reeves get up and spin with a ladder on his head. She was basically saying-imo-that what the talent is doing isn't enough and because Hogan is here they need to step it up. I'm 100% down with Hogan being apart of TNA, even more excited to see what Bischoff can do....but come on. Hogan is old school, that's why he is the way he is. It's all about getting YOURSELF over in his eyes, that just by association you'll get massively over and at times it has worked.

But this is TNA. The style is totally different than what Hogan is wanting to push. He was talking about teaching the art of pro wrestling, that it had been lost. I'm diggin that, if it means straying from the scripts and having a more natural feel to the product. I'm all about Hogan getting involved in creative, he's intelligent, loves wrestling, he doesn't do anything that he doesn't personally enjoy. Hogan could make way more money in the WWE than in TNA, if it was all about money he wouldn't have gone to TNA. He wouldn't be as involved as he's rumored to be.

Shit I hope he comes in and teams up with Lethal and they do the Mega Powers, and Dixie can be the Miss Elizabeth.

Dixie Carter sounded like she was legitimately serious about what she was saying and she probably is.

The company's obviously growing and has more people to it so you can't address it the same way as before.

Obviously there are issues that need to be addressed, and there seem to be people there who don't want to be there or who shouldn't be there because they don't deserve it, simply put.

What I do think though is that this may very well be the start of the new attitude era and while it's not in place there - a new war between TNA and WWE

The_Mike · November 7th, 2009, 7:09 AM

Who doesn't want to be there and who doesn't deserve to be there?

OD50 · November 7th, 2009, 10:40 AM

Kazarian asked to be released recently, and uhh....Lacey Von Erich doesn't really 'deserve' to be there, yet at least.

Maybe Big Rob doesn't 'deserve' to be there either.

Personally I don't have much of a problem with him, except that he is shit in the ring of course. As the stupid, muscle head bodyguard he is ok though.

nz19 · November 7th, 2009, 1:50 PM

Kazarian, Booker T who recently left, Scott Steiner, Kevin Nash are all pretty much in that category of either not wanting to be there or not deserving to be there.

As far as guys like Big Rob - don't really have much to say about him since he doesn't talk or wrestle much.

The roster at the moment is stacked though - and much more interesting to watch than that other company what was it called again? Oh yeah WWE, where we see Dx come out every week to the same theme they had back in 1998 and do NOTHING to elevate new talent.

I like TNA for being real and not holding back - and they're so fast paced and now with Hogan, seems to be like breath of fresh air which we will soon see how things work out.
