As The Dysco Inferno said, let Burchill use his ripper character to it's full potential.
He could make a monster heel for any promotion if used correctly, he has the look, the size and is great in the ring. Heck he could carry most people to a good match and yet he ended up being the one taking the loss which was a shame.

While I'm not a huge TNA fan, I do think that Burchill would be a very strong acquisition for them assuming they let him do what he does best.

but I know squat about Burchill. Can someone seel him to me and do you think he'd fit in if they signed him?

Replacing Rob Terry with Burchill would be about a 5000% upgrade.

I think all three wrestlers would be good additions to TNA's roster.
Burchill reforming The British Invasion tag team with Brutus Magnus while Williams continues as a singles X-Division star would be nice. Throw in Katie Lea as their valet and all the better.
Shane Helms is a solid cruiserweight and would add to the X-Division, or could even be placed in a tag team with the recently signed Shannon Moore, possibly as part of Jeff Hady's group.
Maria would be a good signing based on her popularity. She could be added to the Knockout's Division or made a backstage interviewer, however I fully expect she'll take a break from wrestling for a while to focus on other things.
Scott Armstrong... eh. I'm not sure how TNA's ref situation is, but I doubt he's really needed.

I'd take Red over Helms any day. Infinitely more exciting in the ring, and doesn't have the history of substance issues either.

Paull Burchill would be a good addition to the british invasion as it seems Rob Terry is leaving it. Helms was very good, but he's getting on a fair bit now. Don't know Maria so can't comment.

Shouldn't TNA start cleaning their own coffers before picking up any new talent? Unless they are getting another show, they got too many guys already.

Burchill => Rob Terry Helms => ... I have no idea Maria... Meh. They've already got enough redheads. And they're all hotter than Maria

maria is probably the 2nd most irritating wrestling personality i have ever seen. something about her is so annoying i can't stand to watch. sure she has is pretty but in a world like the wrestling world there are so many attractive women that being a pretty face just isn't enough to be something special.
christy is hotter anyway and surprisingly doesn't annoy to inhumane levels.

Releses to bring in these 3? Brian Knobs, Jerry Sags and Traci Brooks. Would have said So Cal Val but she is a halfway decent interviewer where as Traci isn't and isn't even much of a worker.

When asked about Paul Burchill and and Shane Helms on his facebook, said he doesn't know Paul but goes way back with Helms, calls him a great talent and certain to land on his feet.

Burchill yes, the others, no. I can imagine Paul making more of an impact as his Ski Mask wearing ripper character than he has when wrestling as himself in much the same way Elijah Burke has when allowwed to us his Pope persona. He's unlikely to make as big a splash as Elijah, but I'd say he'd be a darn sight better for TNA in the long term than people like Val Venis have been. that's what i'm intrigued about personally. is seeing Burchill go to TNA just so he can be his ripper character, which is awesome and would definately get him the attention he didn't get in WWE. i do wonder if anyone in the WWE looks at the Pope and wonders if they made a mistake. mind you, i know Vince doesn't as he probably doesn't even know who Pope is. but maybe some writers, trainers, road agents...someone has to see what a lost opoortunity he was.

I'll agree with everyone Burchull for Terry
Exchange Traci Brooks for Maria, because on non wrestling diva for another. Brooks is a butterface.
The Hurricane for Orlando Jordan. (I would want Helms to have some sort of superhero gimmick)
While were cleaning house, get rid of the Nasties, BTLS, Jesse Neil, theres probably a few others I wouldnt miss, but I dont dont mind them on the roster.

I rarely jump on the "so-and-so should go to TNA" bandwagon because TNA has too many guys as it is, but I think it's kind of a crime how Burchill amounted to so little in WWE. I thought he did comedy well when his gimmick called for it, and I found him to be a great wrestler when the situation called for that. His size is impressive too.
I would have no problem with Burchill going to TNA to "start over".

They have plenty of dead weight and passing on great talent is not a good move, IMO. True dat'. I agree. Let's kick it up a notch...if you want one of these WWE guys, who do you propose TNA fires to make room? I too will take all three. Since I now have to fire 2 men and a woman I am sacking Bubba the Love Sponge (can't take a promotion seriously if they allow someone w/ that name to work for them), Jesse Neal and Christy Hemme. Bubba's already gone I think and Christy is doing very well in her role at the moment

When who was asked? Eric Bischoff. As for a way to bring Burchill in I had a little idea. For the next few months have The British Invasion try and take down Rob Terry but be thrawted every time. Have both Doug and Magnus still vow to get Terry at some point when Magnus says he has something in mind. At a PPV or wherever, have Terry in some sort of match when Paul Burchill interferes and beats the living daylights out of Terry.
