Anyone know if Rosey (Super Hero In Training) is doing anything? It would be great to see the two come into TNA together as a 3 Minute Warning Reunion... and then join Samoa Joe's Nation of Violence.

Mr. Kennedy can't stay healthy for 5 minutes and Umaga is never going back to TNA. I think he's smarter than to sign with a company that would just let Steiner call him fat before and after jobbing him to Kevin Nash. It seems like ever since Christian went to TNA people think anyone in the WWE could show up there. That's not realistic. Christian made a mistake, and once his contract was up he came back to the big leagues. Everyone else from the WWE or WCW who has shown up in TNA is either washed up, or was fired for being useless.
Umaga is neither. Once he gets his issues together, he'll be back in the WWE.

I hate online reporting.
First off, of course they would be interested in these talents, so you wouldn't need any of these sources for it to be true.
Everyone can see money in Joe vs Umaga
The 90 day no compete for them both is common knowledge.
There was already a report where Kennedy himself said he would like to join TNA wrestling. Man, I'd be a great online reporter. It's really easy post reports.

Umaga I could see going there.

It's quite questionable as to whether he'd have gotten a push in the time he was away from WWE. He got to be main eventer while spending more time with his family while in TNA. Maybe he would've gotten a push in WWE but maybe he's better off now after proving he could be more than a midcarder.

That 90 day no-compete clause seems to me like it should only work if someone quit...not got fired. WWE isn't paying these guys for 90 days, are they? Actually they are. They could just opt out and forfeit the 90 days of pay if they really wanted to work for TNA. I don't know how they suckered taz witha contract that had that in there despite the contract expiring. When you're released by WWE, they basically offer you a 90 Day Severance package. It's your right to refuse it, but as far as I can remember Raven is the only one who ever has. Actually, sorry Angle did too. And both of them showed up in TNA right after their release, Raven 1 day later, and Angle was about a month after his release.

It'll be interesting, Kennedy could be like the Christian of TNA (top star on TNA, midcard on WWE) and an Umaga/Joe fued would be nice "WHAT'S YOUMANGA DOING IN THE IMPACT ZONE!" the only reason Kennedy wasn't higher in the card was the injuries

the only reason Kennedy wasn't higher in the card was the injuries I really believe that Kennedy would have held the World Title at least once if not for injuries. Lets not forget the MITB Kennedy Countdown. I'm willing to bet that he would've cashed in after the main event (which was Cena/HBK if i'm not mistaken) and beaten Cena for the title.

Kennedy should just STFU. Guy is the biggest phony in the world of wrestling today. I stopped caring about him after his "Don't do drugs" speech. I don't believe a single word that comes out of his mouth.

So I wonder...what is Kennedy's excuse going to be if he happens to get injured again in TNA? I like the guy, don't get me wrong. But sitting there, claiming you were never given a chance in WWE, that you were restrained somehow by those in charge? That is patently not true. Mr. McMahon's Son? MiTB? Getting push after push, even if they were derailed by injuries? That doesn't sound like a company that had no faith in someone to me. See Batista. Batista stayed around long enough to get a title and before then was built up to main event status without it being de-railed.

Mr. Kennedy is the real deal. Probably the most charismatic newcomer since John Cena. He's a guy who, if it weren't for the injuries, TNA would have zero shot at because he'd already be main eventing Wrestlemania. Truly a lucky break for TNA. If TNA does it right and doesn't bastardize his gimmick, they may have their very own Stone Cold in the near future.
I like Umaga as well. He's not the potential megastar Kennedy is, but he'll make a great upper-midcarder/occasional main eventer who could also be a stud for the tag team division if they choose to go that route.

I think Umaga could be used as a main eventer in TNA. Not a gate keeper, but as one of the guys they put the belt on once in awhile

Yeah we get it you don't like TNA,change the record Maybe if you don't like it don't post here,thought the rules specifically said no blatant TNA bashing anyway?
