That would qualify as a big signing...

Great. Another person TNA has to teach how to wrestle and won't be able to use due to his Bellator commitments.

Since it's now official, time to change the thread title.

I may be on the short list here. But with rampages charisma and presence I've always thought he'd do good in wrestling. Hope he gets a little more time than King Mo

So it seems they are already replacing King Mo, even though he never did anything other than enforce a match he had no part in at all.
Awesome.

I could see that. Due to the benefits Rampage brings to the table- the floor and ceiling are gone for him. As a prospect, he COULD be really good for TNA. The one weakness is the dual-signing with Bellator- we've seen too many times that a dual-sport MMA/pro wrestling star can be a beast in the wrestling ring and have an insane aura as a asskicker- AS LONG AS THEY NEVER, EVER LOSE IN THE OCTAGON, because the second they get soundly defeated in an MMA match, they quickly lose all of their aura in the pro wrestling ring.

I only speak for myself (of course), but this is a huge letdown if it's another shitty MMA guy.

So TNA got sick of signing WWE's has-beens so now they're going after one from UFC. Oh well, he still has a lot of name recognition so good for them.
Funny how bent out of shape they got when Aries posed on a turnbuckle in front of Hemme then sign a guy that has harassed and fondled female interviewers before.

Yeah, this is a significantly bigger signing than King Mo. I doubt he'll make any kind of impact but I'm sure he'll bring in a few viewers, I don't watch TNA but I'm damn sure tuning in if he ever shows up.

The Rampage-King Mo tag team is gonna be so hilariously awful. I can't wait.

The internet and TMZ were the ones who got bent out of shape about this. TNA didn't even bother to acknowledge the controversy until it got onto TMZ, and was made bigger than it really was. As for Rampage, either he becomes a star, or he vanishes like King Mo (even though King Mo is still training in OVW). In both cases, TNA has nothing to lose, esp. since he's probably only partly paid by TNA.

Typical TNA, always signing people who have been in WWE... What, doesn't that segment with Roddy Piper mistaking him for Mr. T count?

Wow, that's pretty major for both Bellator and TNA. I know Dixie's announcements rarely amount to much, but I'd call this a major signing for sure.
