Drop anyone older than 35. That gets rid of Jarrett, Nash, VKM (I believe), Dudleys, Backland (if he was ever really on the roster), gets rid of the Steiners, etc etc. Keep Raven in as a booker/manager, keep Angle in as an authority figure. Let the young lights shine. I believe that gets rid of Christian, one of the most over performers in the company. False. Cage is 33. |

If a wrestler is entertaining and connects with the fans, I don't think it matters what age they happen to be. TV age is another thing though. By that I mean the length of a time a wrestler is pushed in the spotlight of a company. They can be young or old but if they are pushed too much for too long they get tireseome.

Thank god TNA no longer has a YouTube account, otherwise when the first Lesnar promo hits... well, nothing will be said.
Lesnar in TNA would be a good thing though, simply because he is still tolerable in the ring.

I think Brock would be better for TNA than Angle has been thus far. He's younger, doesn't have a laundry list of nagging injuries, and supposedly isn't batcrap crazy. Nope, just a complete trashbag of a human being.  Agreed. I don't want to see him anywhere near TNA. As for Doug Basham, I bet that he ends up in ROH fairly soon. Didn't Gabe try to sign him a few months ago? |

Nope, just a complete trashbag of a human being. Nope, that would be Chris Benoit.  I think the hate for Brock has to be put in perspective sometimes. It's not like he has killed anybody by leaving the WWE abrubtly. |

mysterydriver will probably be happy with Lynn getting his release.  I see Lynn either retiring or going part time or something. I'm definitely not upset about it... If Brock Lesnar shows up, I can throw all hope of a Tomko title win out the window. |

The Bashams just got there!

Yeah I think they tried to sign Williams a while back I was Homicide, Sabin, Daniels, Shelley, and Joe would get fired or quit so we could have them back in ROH |

I thought Brock had like a 10 year no-compete clause in his contract if he left the WWE. No it was until 2010. Here is what I got from Wikipedia: Lesnar had previously signed a no-compete clause in order to be released from his contract with WWE, which prohibited him from working for any other sports entertainment or mixed martial arts companies before June 2010. Lesnar had anticipated leaving wrestling entirely, but his inability to secure a career in professional football led to him challenging this ruling in court.[58] WWE responded by demanding damages as a result of Lesnar allegedly breaching the agreement by appearing at a New Japan Pro Wrestling show in 2004.[59] In July 2005, the two sides dropped their claims and entered negotiations to renew their relationship.[60] WWE had offered Lesnar a contract, but on August 2, 2005, WWE's official website reported that Lesnar had withdrawn from any involvement with the company.[61] The lawsuit was then entered into settlement on September 21, 2005, but talks broke down.[62][63] On January 14, 2006, Judge Christopher Droney stated that unless WWE gave him a good argument between then and January 25, 2006, he would rule in favor of Brock Lesnar, giving him a summary judgment. This would have enabled Lesnar to work anywhere he wanted immediately.[64] WWE was later granted a deadline postponement.[65] On April 24, 2006, World Wrestling Entertainment announced on their official website, WWE.com, that both parties had mutually come to a settlement and on June 12, 2006, a federal judge dismissed Lesnar's lawsuit against WWE after both parties requested for the case to be dismissed.[66] So it's over because he appeared in K1-Heroes this year. ROH, BOOK RVD VS. LYNN!!! If they can still go like they were able to in 99 then great. If not ROH fans may S*** all over it. But if it was taped for a PPV or a DVD and it was reported to be smurfing awesome. I'd buy a copy. |

Interesting. I always liked Lesnar and if he could still go like he did in WWE, then I'm all for bringing him in. I'd rather see him than Test lugging around. |

Brock Lesnar isn't that big of a name really. It's only 11 letters really.

If they bring in Brock they should also try to bring Big Show in, even if it's just for a few months. Those two just clicked when they wrestled I thought.
