Bob Sapp? Interesting...but with all of these "Talks" and "hirings"...when is the axe going to drop on some people?

I think TNA would do better to invest in international talent. That was one of the things that helped WCW really differentiate itself from WWE.

Dont expect Sapp to be outstanding in the ring, but he is a straight up beast of a man, and one of the most charismatic dudes TNA could get at. He will entertain anyone who watches. Without a doubt.

Which means they'll have him make goofy faces and cut his moveset in half. He'll be Awesome Kong's boyfriend. |

If Bob Sapp comes in, he'll probably expect to be in the main event. TNA is already full in that regard.
They really need a second show.

Sapp is awesome (maybe not in-ring wise, but still). I wish they'd can VKM first though, since I don't expect Sapp to come with a cheap price.
TNA in Boston? Sweetness. I hope it's the Agganis or something though (but they really need to stop running buildings that are way too big for their draw), and not some random ass arena 20 miles away like the Tsongas.

Use the code DonWest for 10% off your next two orders. Also using the code "DonWest" will make everything you say 100 times louder. |

OMG! GOTTA LOVE BOB SAPP! GOTTA LOVE BOB SAPP!
Hell yes I can't wait for Bob Sapp in TNA, I think he'd be awesome.
The BIGGESt reason he didn't go to WWE was because of money and the schedule.
I'm thinking TNA is going to throw A MINT at Bob Sapp.

Use the code DonWest for 10% off your next two orders. Also using the code "DonWest" will make everything you say 100 times louder. And whenever you try to look serious at a camera, you end up looking like you're holding back a poop. |

Sapp would be a brilliant signing for TNA, if they can afford him. I genuinely believe that he is one of the few performers who could make TNA serious competition for WWE. Note that I said could, and not 'will'.

#Hey, Sapp Time!!!
SAPPU TIME!!!
#It's BEAST Time!!!!
BEASTU TIME!!!
Worth bringing the dude in for his impossibly bass voice alone. Also would make TNA a big name in the eyes of Japan. Japan loves Sapp like Brits love Tracy Smothers.
And do we love Tracy Smothers...

Bob Sapp with a legit MMA background where TNA gets him, but UFC didn't is a pretty big deal. You know that if there was a heavyweight Dana was looking to as a fan friendly marketing act it'd be Bob Sapp.
I hope he works well in TNA.
Charismatic, great mic work, and willing to do ANYTHING (well besides job) to get over.
