So TNA wants to sign the Clones? I swear, I keep reading stories that TNA wants to sign Roderick Strong ever since he got canned by them years ago. It's not like ROH would be hurting if they left. ROH pretty much moved past them and use them to put over the guys who are more important. I would love for them to use Kenny King for something of value since Laguna and TNA wooed him to leave ROH. Except for an unremarkable X Division championship run, he's done nothing. Since TNA is moving back to Orlando for a long term basis, they need to use local talents to fill in the voids. You got tons of talented guys waiting for a shot and willing to make the necessary sacrifices to join TNA.

I feel at this point, if TNA wants to take differentiate themselves, they need to bring in the best wrestlers in the world. Anybody who can't work at a certain level is gone instantly, just do something to separate themselves. They don't need big money to make themselves an alternative. Right now, they have little money and look like a WWE knock off, more then ever now I feel. These guys (Roderick Strong especially, he needs a change in scenery), Chris Hero, Johnny Gargano, and maybe a young guy from Japan. Tell them they were wrong for having their current World Champion be a lackey based off of a movie. Like, bring in a guy like Kushida for some seasoning. I know they're trying to rebuild their Jr. Heavyweight division over there, and Kushida is mostly used in tags, but get him out there and get him on TV. Or even the Killer Elite Squad. Apparently Harry Smith is out of Florida, if you won't bring them both in, bring in that guy. Bring in Colt Cabana if WWE doesn't grab him. They have the world at their disposal, and who gets TV time? Mr. Anderson needs to realize that 2007 called and they want him back, maybe he'll matter more then. They need to change up the roster. How about Cedric Alexander, it might be tough being that he's black and apparently they already have their token black guy in Kenny King. Cheerleader Melissa, Serena Deeb, like, this list just goes on and on of talent, good talent, that I'm sure aren't the most expensive. I bet most of the people I named would add up to what Hogan got paid.

I wonder why they'd want Roderick Strong? He's already a TNA alumni and couldn't manage to get over in his time in TNA. Because of his boyish good looks and his freaky Roderick Strength. The dude looks like a star. Davey can kick rocks. I do not feel strongly one way or the other about Edwards.

None of the Three WorkBots are the next Rock in any way, shape or form, but Strong and Edwards are good hands in the ring that could play plucky determined babyfaces. Basically, they're ideal for the role WWE had initially set up for Bryan before YESaMania took off.
Davey? Ain't worth it.

That clean cut look combined with his "freaky retard strength" makes him a good candidate for an All American superhero face, with the added bonus of his unassuming, non threatening appearance catching people off guard and looking even more visually impressive.

Whether it be the American Wolves or the Dojo Bros, they would be a big boost to the tag team division. Good call by TNA.
I don't know what I'd do with the leftover guy though...

I'd say bring Davey and Edwards in as the American Wolves and let Roderick do the Dojo Bros gimmick (or something similar) as a solo guy. I'd rather see Roderick as a singles guy than Davey.

So the idiots who recruit talent for WWE are really going to let these guys slip away. They are really downer these days with this decision, firing Hero and they are or not pushing. Yay! We get to see more guys who fail to make NFL line ups be signed to contracts instead.

I can think of quite a few people I'd hire off the circuit before I'd even try to hire the Clones.

We get to see more guys who fail to make NFL line ups be signed to contracts instead. The report says TNA is interested, not the other way around. We really have no idea where WWE is with Richards and Edwards. I think these 3 guys could help make TNA fun to watch if the focus on current talents is on Sabin, Aries, Roode and Danielsm and not Aces and 8's and Kennedy. I think matches with Angle would make any of them.

I'm being confused with all these Handegg metaphors...what's actually being said now? The stereotype is that WWE, despite two of their biggest stars right now being CM Punk and Daniel Bryan, likes to sign football-player type people who presumably can't wrestle because big people can't wrestle instead of smaller guys who can wrestle and do flips and shit. Also not every football player is big so it's a dumb stereotype. And TNA had Cincinnati Bengals player Pacman Jones on Impact last week, along with a teammate whose name escapes me so I'll call him Blinky. They fought Bad Influence for some reason.

Aaah, right then, I was over thinking things and confused myself. Thank you good sir, I would share a drink of my Kia-Ora with you as thanks but y'know...it's too orangey for Crows.

Edwards would be the only one to benefit in my opinion.
