People say the WWE Current forum is negative? People on this board hate every single new member of the TNA roster, even people who have been proven professionals for over a decade such as Fatu. He's up there with Paul Wight and Glen Jacobs as putting up with way much wrestlecrap in his career. Let him work and stay on television, please.

All TNA needs now is Umaga. Umaga, Samoa Joe, and Rikishi would be a great dancing stable. Or they could get Rosie (Super Hero in Training)... it's not like he's doing anything these days. |

I don't hate the roster. Lets just say he is a professional. TNA sure isnt making him out to be one with promos like that. The promos where he acts like the Rock are a joke. Its symbolic of a writing staff who only went so far to fill in his promo side to get him on TV.
"Lets just make up some crap from stuff we saw on past WWF shows"
"Sounds good"
(start writing)

No, but he does do the horrible 'can you smell that' promos, complete with sunglasses. Knowing him, I assumed it was a bad fart joke. I did too, as I remember in that interview last week, the interviewer waved her hands as if to ward off a bad smell when he left. |

Junior Fatu would be great if he could wrestle, cut a good promo, or not be be fat.  Wait, are those either/or options? If so, I must disagree. See, I remember when he was thinner, and he still sucked, with his Hawaiian shirts and "trips to the hood to keep the kiddies off drugs" that he did all the damn time, and he sucked just as much carrying half the weight he is now. |

To each his own, I marked for him in 2000 when he was a face with Too Cool and he was super over. Nowadays, not so much. |

He was mega over around 2000-ish and he was putting on decent matches to boot. But now I feel like TNA has him out there just to be like "Hey, remember Rikishi? He used to be good! We have him now!" And that is their biggest problem. Not knowing when to draw the line with formerly big stars |

Not knowing when to draw the line with formerly big stars Why am I picturing Lou Brown and Charlie Donovan standing in the Impact Zone as Fatu shows up with this exchange. Charlie: Hey, that's Rikishi. He used to be pretty good in WWE. Wish we woulda had him two years ago. Lou: We did. Charlie: (after a brief pause) Four years ago then. |

Major League references always ensure greatness. You sir, are a winner.  |

I like Jr. Fatu, I think he's a great talent. He's over like crazy, and I feel that he should be used in that upper midcard position to be an established wrestler to help get guys to the next level, and that's all.
Why haven't they hired Giant Bernard anyway? I mean, the guy is still young, has gotten a major reputation in Japan, has proven he's got the goods. Are his Japan deals conflicting with TNA or something. If they are going to hire any former WWE talent, why not hire a guy who's attempted to make a name for himself outside the WWE, and is now known for in wrestling his Japan work.
