I just love the fact that they never even have to mention TNA by name at all to make a reference.
Just say 'brother' in the right context and everybody knows what it means, without actually saying TNA. Fun stuff.

Unfortunately, if you think his arrival in the Impact Zone would finally result in a babyface not named Sting getting to look fairly strong for once against their dominate heel stable du jour, you'd be sorely mistaken.

Oh God no! They'll be posting more "money-waster's" AKA billboard's in Stanford. Why the hell there are billboard's in one of the best commentators in WWE? He did some things he's not proud of in College.

Russo is booking, so Cena would turn heel almost immediately upon arrival. It is a little strange that saying the word "brother" is associated with TNA now. I know it is because of Hogan, but that seems more like praise for Hogan (i.e. he is bigger than the company) than it does TNA. If Cena said "I could go on someone else's TV show and make an Impact", then it would have looked better for TNA, but hey, any mention of TNA, even subtle, is good at this point.

I could just imagine Cena cutting his first promo in the Impact Zone: " I am really glad to be here, this is my life, I love this business. Unfortunately I could not come to terms with the WWE and ultimately I was released. Personally I would rather be working there, because that is my home, but I have came here and I will do what I do best....." TNA cuts off his mic and cuts to commercial.

Not a shadow of a doubt in my mind at all, Cena would get heel-turned so quickly in TNA that it'd make your head spin.

Immortal does need some firepower, so he'd join them.
And someone would make 'shoot' comments about it being better than when he joined Nexus.

Cena would lose to Gunner in his TNA debut match.

Honestly, my first thought wasn't TNA and I don't think that TNA is the reference the audience understood. I took it as Cena taking a jab at Vince about Hogan showing up in WCW. We all know that's a sore spot for Vince and Cena really REALLY wanted to give it to him.
If it was a TNA reference, really, Vince would have laughed and said go ahead! Worked out well for Hardy!

I dunno, as unknown as IW might be...more people in the current audience know about it than remember WCW. A reference to Hogan and TV is a reference to IW, no two ways about it. He's the head of that Wrestling Fed, and it's on TV. Simple as.

Well, unless there's some talk of a new season of Hogan Knows Best or Thunder In Paradise, or Hulk's going to give that XWF thing another go, the only show to see Hulk on is Impact. So see Hulk, see Impact I figure.

I sincerely hope noone on the internet thinks there is even a chance of Cena going to TNA, but it would be amusing if TNA started acting like it was on the cards.

In regards at shots between TNA and WWE, WWE is above and beyond TNA in regards to how they go about it. WWE does a small shot at TNA like, once in a blue moon, and it always gets people talking in a positive way because of how subtle WWE does it. Like, when Low Ki said he brings Total Nonstop Action or something like that, that got a positive reaction because, again, it's subtle.
TNA on the other hand, they aren't usually subtle. One time they did a subtle shot which I liked, where Sarita was choking Taylor Wilde with a belt and Taz went, you could get fired from some places for doing that. But they have regular WWE talk on their show and it just gets old and it's very blatent. But yeah, I enjoyed that.

i know this is a big joke, but I'd like to see Cena work in TNA, where he could be booked differently for good or bad. more so, I'd like to see him wrestle TNA guys

TNA addresses former WWE Champions as former World Champions. WWE barely acknowledges TNA's existence, ie. WWE doesn't recognize Booker T & Christian's TNA championships.
