I honestly think that there is some reason Bernard hasnt been picked up. Maybe a contract, maybe he doesnt want to leave Japan. Maybe he just likes his schedule and income. I have no doubt both TNA, and WWE have tried to sign him in the past year and a half. They would be foolish not to. He is a huge guy, with a bad ass look, hes awesome in the ring, and he is actually very charasmatic and funny. Why did people crap on him back when he was in WWE? Just the smark's usual blind hatred of big guys? |

Did the heels tie Abyss to the railroad tracks this time?
As much as I would want someone like A-Train, I would have to say no for one reason. The roster is starting to look swollen and people are occassionaly just packed into the segments. Until TNA gets more exposure, they should freeze the hiring process and do what they can with all of the talent they have. What they currently have gives them an opportunity to make them greater than the WWE. Once TNA shows that they can compete with the WWE (by possibly getting a second show, but that's a long time away), then I would say that hiring A-Train should be a priority. If someone happens to leave, then I guess TNA can stick A-Train in there.

I was really hoping there was some sort of transportation to TNA shows. It's $11 just to park at Universal right now and gas is ridiculous.

A-Train would be awesome in a limited role where they actually acknowledged his tag titles with Tomko in Japan. As a regular participant, not so much.

He has improved greatly and I would love to see him in TNA. |

I still think it'd be interesting to have Daniels start palling around AJ again, to the annoyance of Tomko since they've been making him roll his eyes at AJ etc. during promos, then one day all hell breaks loose and Daniels/AJ beat down Tomko-- while AJ/Tomko are still tag champs. Bring in Bernard to team with Tomko in a match against AJ/Daniels, winner gets the titles.
I'd be interested in seeing it anyway

I would totally mark for a Thomas the Tank Engine appearance in TNA! Seriously though, I don't ever see any Japanese stuff, is it true he actually shaved and got a bunch of tribal tatoos? Yep. He looks a lot more intimidating now. Also, he uses a Last Ride style Liger bomb, which is just badass. |

I don't get why Bernard would be bitter about WWE. Got him great exposure, IC title reign over Kane, was decently pushed, and all that.
He got higher up in Japan, but it wasn't so bad in WWE.

Has he really improved in Japan or is this another case of massive overrating due to "WWE is crap, Japan is awesome!" fanboyism syndrome?

I dont want to see him in TNA because of that scarey hairy back. I mean come on, it was like a gorilla.
Plus if he came in everyone would say "See, TNA only hires and pushes WWE guys."
And if you think about it, that will prob cost a few guys some shots at a job. Oh well.

And if you think about it, that will prob cost a few guys some shots at a job. Oh well. He shaved the back already. If they said that, they'd be morons. He hasn't worked in WWE for years. Yeah, I agree on this one, though. He would have to replace certain people. TNA already probably should fire some people. |
