"They just gave me a live mic on a pay-per-view. So, if nobody minds, I'd like to get a few things off my chest. #1, we have two types of wrestlers here. We have the TNA die-hards who come here and entertain and bust their ass for the fans every night of the week, and we got *superstars* who think they can come and do whatever they want however they want. We have *superstars*, who not only screw us – the hard working "wrestlers" – in TNA, but they screw each and every fan who paid to see them, no matter how old they are. So lemme make this real simple, let me explain TNA to you. TNA is the Motor City Machine Guns coming down here and busting their ass, trying to get a break in this business; TNA is Black Machismo doing his damndest to entertain every single person in this building, and showing us what's up; TNA is Samoa Joe coming in here and doing what he does best, wrestle and be the best damn professional wrestler in the world; TNA is a bunch of hard working, young athletes who are looking to change the wrestling world; guys who held down this business while others profiteer from it; TNA is the guys who come in here and risk their lives on scaffolds and wires, while other people show up and pad their pensions. So I'll tell you what, Scott Hall - *chico* - I'll tell you what. Kiss my ass, you're a punk. *Looks at someone off camera* "Go ahead, fire me, I don't care. So tonight, I went in that locker room, and they said ‘we called everybody in the world trying to get you a new partner'., and I said ‘No, we don't need anybody else. We got everybody we need in the back right now'. So I walked in the back, and I said hey, who wants to be in the main event tonight? Who wants to go get into a fight? And EVERY ONE of the X-Division wrestlers stood up! I walked in the back and asked who wanted to get into a fight, and every single young wrestler whose first TV contract was through TNA stood up and said ‘ME'. But one in particular, bloodied, beaten, battered, bruised, overlooked by everybody in the world said ‘Joe, please give me the shot'. So without further due, I announce my partner; a man that will show up, a man that will be here, and do what he needs to do; a man who is ready for a fight. A man who will be a man, even when he's an old man. Showtime Eric Young, get out here let's kick some ass!"
Those were the words uttered last night by what many people believe to be part of the future of Pro Wrestling in this country, Samoa Joe. Scott Hall was once again for some unexplained reason to me was given yet another shot at the big time when 3 weeks prior to the Turning Point 2007 TNA PPV. As you can probably figure out from the comments above Scott Hall once again did what he seems to do best and thats No Show. You see i am not what you would call an avid fan of TNA but as a WRESTLING fan i respect everyone of the WRESTLERS in TNA. Guys like the Motor City MachineGuns, Samoa Joe, Eric Young, Black Machismo Jay Lethal along with the rest of the X Division guys and the people in that company that actually give a shit about this business. I have been a fan of this sport for for the last 18 years of my life and consider myself a pretty knowledgable fan.
It is people like Scott Hall and Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan and yes even Steve Austin. That come in every once in awhile to get the big paycheck while holding down the young kids. You got guys coming in and dropping a leg drop on a young guy killing his momentum, and by the way he is now the current WWE Champion. You got another guy who comes in 6 times a year drops a Stunner on 2 people who are and more than likely will be part of the conerstones of the WWE for a long time to come at the grandest stage of them all. You could say that this is nothing new and it has been happening forever which it has, anyone remember WCW in 97-99 the amount of talent that was held back because they "didnt have the look" or maybe they weren't "big enough". Yes i am talking about the Radicalz, i am talking about Shane Douglas, i am talking about Chris Jericho and god knows how many others i am forgetting.
What was done last night to the fans in the Impact! Zone was not only disrespectful to the fans inside but to all the boys in the back. And i pray to god that no other company ever gives Scott Hall the time of day and he goes back into obscurity. Have fun on the independants Scott.
So in an era where it seems to be cool to do a shoot, you can consider THIS a shoot.
