Mr. Kennedy can't stay healthy for 5 minutes and Umaga is never going back to TNA. I think he's smarter than to sign with a company that would just let Steiner call him fat before and after jobbing him to Kevin Nash. It seems like ever since Christian went to TNA people think anyone in the WWE could show up there. That's not realistic. Christian made a mistake, and once his contract was up he came back to the big leagues. Everyone else from the WWE or WCW who has shown up in TNA is either washed up, or was fired for being useless. Umaga is neither. Once he gets his issues together, he'll be back in the WWE. Jeff Hardy left under similar circumstances as Umaga and was there for a while. Angle, too, isn't useless or washed up. Umaga I could see going there. Yeah. I wouldn't call Booker T or Kurt Angle "washed up". Yeah. I wouldn't call Booker T or Kurt Angle "washed up". Yeah, Victoria was just -so- washed up too. IMO, Both Kurt Angle and Booker T were useless when they were let go. Angle was acting nuts, and they had worries about drug abuse. Booker T basically refused to follow wellness. That made them useless to the WWE. Victoria - LOL - Look, I'm a fan of hers but she isn't going to make WWE one less dime without here than they would make with her. So I stand by my statement that Main Event guys don't just leave the WWE to go to TNA, for the same reasons NFL players don't leave the NFL to go play in Canada, or in some Arena League. I don't know Umaga, so I can't say I can't see him going to TNA. Maybe he's dumb. He refused rehab so who knows. But I'm just saying 90 days is a long time to clear your head and come to your senses. I think he'll be back in the WWE. Mr. Kennedy is useless. So I can see him in TNA when his NCC is up.

Yeah we get it you don't like TNA,change the record Maybe if you don't like it don't post here,thought the rules specifically said no blatant TNA bashing anyway? Excuse me, but I don't hate TNA at all. And forming an opinion that a WWE wrestler won't show up in TNA is hardly bashing it. So kindly keep your rolley eyes to yourself kiddo.

I hate online reporting. First off, of course they would be interested in these talents, so you wouldn't need any of these sources for it to be true. Everyone can see money in Joe vs Umaga The 90 day no compete for them both is common knowledge. There was already a report where Kennedy himself said he would like to join TNA wrestling. Man, I'd be a great online reporter. It's really easy post reports. I like that you're effectively whining because the story is more or less factual. Spectacular.

TNA didnt sign when WWE let go of Rob Conway, Joy whatshername, Mordecai, that Japanese guy with his geisha wife (Kenzo Suzuki?), Hardcore Holly, Renee Dupree, Chris Master, Trinity, etc. so why should they sign Kennedy?

Kennedy would be huge in TNA. I've seen the Steve Austin going from WCW to WWF comparison, which makes sense since Kennedy suffers from the same stuff that kept Steve Austin from being a big star in WCW.
For instance...both were
1. Always over with the fans (face or heel). 2. Could talk (Kennedy more than Austin at that stage). 3. Could work (Austin more than Kennedy at that state). 4. Presented as a bigger deal than their actual "spot" on the card. 5. Were injured a ton. 6. Mis-cast roles. (For most of Austin's WCW time he was playing a poor-man's Ric Flair, for most of Kennedy's WWE time he was playing a poor-man's The Rock). 7. Had Main eventers weren't on his side (Kennedy with the HHH crowd in WWE, and Austin with the Hogan crowd in WCW).
Kennedy will never be as important to TNA as Steve Austin was to WWF as a castoff, but Kennedy & Austin are supposedly decent friends (Austin at least likes Kennedy and supposedly calls him), so maybe Austin will give him a few pointers.
That said, I'd like to see Kennedy re-invent himself. He could make some money for TNA if he develops the right character that plays to his strengths. The guy is undeniably talented.
