Or to rejuvenate their careers. Take a look at what Elijah Burke (aka "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero) has been doing lately, and tell me his career hasn't taken off.

Actually, it's breathed new life into Elijah Burke in particular. It gives them something new to do. As Sajoa Moe said, The Pope has been doing awesome recently.

well I wish them all the best because hopefully if tna gets better both companies can push each other to the next level like the good old monday night wars. Maybe i'll come back and watch it then. So I'm praying and hope that TNA can give wwe a good push.

Kennedy and Burke are two potential megastars who the WWE dropped the ball on.
Kennedy for a variety of petty reasons, namely that he was injured a lot (Batista, Edge, Cena, Taker, Triple H all say "hi").
Burke, because the WWE "creative team" are morons.
I'm not sure how long you've been away, but TNA has also saved the career of Matt Morgan.

Yeah Burke is showing what he is all about. He been awesome and getting that MEer feel coming off of him. Mr. Anderson has been an awesome heel in TNA. He and Angle have been great. He comes off as a star. I look forward to there match. Kendrick hasn't done anything. Hardy just started again but looks to be in the ME which is not a surprise.

Out of all the former WWE guys you could pick, you had to pick the ones I actually want in TNA for the title?
On a side note, in my EWR game that I started from March 2010 onward I just made it to Hard Justice and have a scheduled 6-Man Tag Match involving, Shane Helms, Jeff Hardy & Shannon Moore vs Brian Kendrick, Paul London & Mr. Anderson. It didn't occur to me that this could have been a WWE match in 2007 or 2008 until just now.

Burke was fired because he was so stupid that made comments bashing the diva search on that ghost's show (everybody knows that is stupid, but you should keep quiet) In the case of kennedy, he injured himself every single time that they gave him a shot (Mcmahon's son, Mitb, or his return when he screwed all in 5 minutes) At least the guys that you had mentioned were not injured at the time were they were given shots, they used them, and later they go to rest The E didn't dropped the ball with any of this guys, all of them are out of the E because they can keep the ball |

Jeff Hardy - While he is a WWE mainstay, he wrestled in TNA for about 2 years.
Brian Kendrick - So, the guy is talented. Just because the guy got let go from WWE doesn't mean his career is over.
D'Angelo Dinero - He's like Tomko, Matt Morgan, and hell, even R-Truth. He's a TNA guy now, who happened to be in WWE.
Ken Anderson - In reality, he hasn't been on WWE that much in the past year or so when you think about it. He was injured, came back for 2 weeks, was gone, and wasn't even around for most of the year. The guy has talent and can talk. Why not bring him in?
The Nasty Boys are one thing. These guys deserve to be there.

WWE just stop using him. That comments was not the reason. He was looked as if he was going to redebut as the Pope. Theres a pic from either a dark match or house show with the look. WWE DID drop the ball with him. There not going to fire a man for a divas search comment since there hasn't been a divas search contest in several years. More so when other guys have done far worse then that and are still there. Like Orton who trashed a hotel room or the guys people who fail the well ness. Anderson I kinda agree about. He has a lot of shots but the point was made on how many times Batista been hurt. Yet he still got pushes and is champion right now. The reason why Anderson was fired eas for almost hurting Orton. Which you remember he was release a day after returning on TV. Most WWE release are not guys who was just on TV in a ME like he was. |

As has been stated before, WWE has been pretty much THE wrestling company in America since the fall of WCW & ECW. They have not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 wrestling shows currently on TV. It only makes sense that about 2 out of every 3 hires TNA makes would have worked for WWE at some point in their careers.

I'm personally enjoying Anderson and Burke way more than I ever did on WWE programming.

I just can't wrap my head around the idea that the WWE didn't drop the ball with Burke. You may not like the guy but I think it is fairly obvious the guy has much more talent than he was given a chance to show. The crowd goes nuts for him. He has quickly risen to the level where he is now just below the main event. That has been a big move andthe crowd still wants more.
I can understand not liking the guy's work yourself but I just don't see how you can say a guy who many fans go crazy over despite getting a huge push that usually leads to fans turning, wasn't misused when he topped out at a third string wrestler.

This is exactly what ECW did. Give talented guys that floundered with other companies chances. It worked pretty well for them with Austin, Foley, Shane Douglas, Bam Bam Bigelow, Sabu, Al Snow, Candido, and a ton of others.
