I bet if Brock signs, even he'll become TNA champion before Joe.

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.

Yet people crap on TNA for doing nothing original, and being "WCW 2007."

Also, as much hate TNA gets for signing ex-wwe dudes, a lot of posters want to see a bunch of them get signed.

Not really to me, I don't mind provided they aren't useless such as Test, who won't get any extra viewers to tune in.

[Sajoa Moe]

I'm eventually going to get a concussion from all the times TNA makes me bang my head on the desk rom all their stupid decisions.

[Chucklehead,baby!!!]

i like how people are saying test rubbed then the wrong way in tna but if they have in fighting like this,then they will in no way compete with wwe

That's the easiest bet in the world. In other words, I agree completely.

If they sign Brock, he is immediately feuding with Angle over the two titles that Kurt has.

In the meantime, Joe will feud with Christian's Coalition because Christian called him fat or something like that.

Also, If Brock gets signed, expect people to join Petey Williams on the "Waiting for TV Time" list.

He'll be waiting for TV alright....for time on Xplosion.

Wait ... can TNA even afford to hire Brock Lesnar? I don't even think they are making a profit yet.

What stupid decisions did they make this time?

[KingPopper]

Matt Bentley should be picked up by WWE, then you can have the Showstoppers team i've always wanted with Matt Bentley and HBCade, then they can fued with Kendrick and London.

[Andrew is Good]

Matt Bentley, if I remember correctly, has some family ties with Shawn Michaels, so he might be able to get him in.

The WWE would probably hire Runt back, even though he bad mouths them a lot. Brother Runt was rumoured to be one of the guys to return to the new ECW.

Jerry Lynn I'd like to see back there, but his size is an issue. And of course, Basham and Damaja were cost cutting by WWE. They were a good team, it sucks that both companies can't use them right. Maybe Ring of Honor should hire them, and give them a run at the Briscoes. Maybe not win the belts, but having an established team like Basham and Damaja to put over a relatively unknown team like the Briscoes could be a big deal.

[sexualvanilla]

I was surprised Lynn wanted out since I'd heard he liked his agents job. But no one there I'd really miss, but we all wait with heavy breaths about what'll happen with Shelley and others

[leemir]

Brock Vs. Joe would a hell of a match. If you have Joe, Angle & Lesnar on your roster you should be #1, no excuses.

["Nature Boy" Ric Moranis]

Matt Bentley is short. I could see him maybe doing well in ROH, but he'd look like a dwarf in WWE. TNA pushed the heck out of him in 2004-ish doing the "next HBK" gimmick, and he never really got over. I enjoyed him the most in the tag team with Kazarian long before the Serotonin days...which was broken up when Kaz jumped to WWE.

Basham and Damaja were never given a fair shot at getting over. You can't get somebody over by feuding them exclusively with VKM. It's a shame they never really got to showcase themselves against an athletic team like LAX or MCMG.

Runt and Lynn don't bother me, though it sucks that Lynn couldn't be kept around as an agent, which is what he did for the past couple years. Runt's just yesterday's news.

As for Lesnar, WWE and TNA both need him right now. He might be a turdball, but he's still a talent that's good in the ring for a big man. He's roughly 100 million times better than a guy like Test. And he's free to work wherever he chooses, that's what the courts decided, and that's why he changed the name of the "F5" to "The Verdict".

[Ace Diamond]

Oh yes let's bring in Brock Lesnar. A man who quit wrestling to play football, quit football to go back to wrestling, and then stole a promotion's belt because he didn't want to drop it, making him like a nega-verse Bret Hart.

I think that sums up why it's NOT a good idea to bring in Brock Lesnar.

Oh and the fact that it shoves Joe even further away from the title picture. Why use Joe when you can use somebody that all of America knows?

Then again they tried that with PacMan and ratings didn't improve one iota.

[Reverend BTY]

TNA shouldn't sign Lesnar. Solely for the fact that they're already like 30 mil in the hole. I highly doubt Panda Energy is happy with them as it is.

Where do you get your figures as to how deep they are in the hole? They've purposely never released those numbers.

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.

Ohhhhhh....

I remember when Brock and Vince had that meeting. I didn't know that this occurred. Well, like I said before, this would be a great coup for TNA if they can lure Brock. He certainly would be a nice addition as opposed to....Test.

I remember hearing it on an old B&V show. Who knows if it's accurate, but even if it's significantly less. With all their high salary wrestlers, Brock Lesnar wouldn't be a good person to sign anyway.

[HMARK Center]

Lesnar would likely be a good investment.

If they just dump Test and bring Lesnar on, I think that'd be a very good trade off.

[Kevin Hamilton]

I'd really like to see Lesnar, I'd prefer him in WWE, but I'd dig seeing him in TNA as well.
