Brooke Hogan joins TNA

[kyromax]

This is mostly upsetting b/c we all know she will be better paid than most of the other knockouts who have actually paid their dues.

Dixie: "So Mr Finlay, what makes you qualified for this position?"
Finlay: "Well I did train the WWE Divas. And that was during their glory period, with girls like Trish Stratus, Lita, Molly Holly, Victoria, Gail Kim, Jazz."
Dixie: "Well, you did get great recommendations from Tara, Winter, Mickie James, Gail Kim, and Angelina Love. So tell me Mr Finlay, have you had any hit songs?"
Finlay: "No."
Dixie: "Have you appeared in a movie made by the Asylum?"
Finlay: "No."
Dixie: "Are you in anyway related to Hulk Hogan?"
Finlay: "No."
Dixie: "Sorry, we've decided to go another way."
Finlay: "What?"
Dixie: "Frankly while you did train the Divas, and come highly recommended by everyone we talk to, you haven't had a hit song, been in a Z-movie, and aren't related to Hulk Hogan. You just don't have the experience to show the girls what to do, and help them out."

LOL.
Brooke teaching the KOs would be something like this I reckon:
Lesson 1-Promos:
Brooke: "Okay she-wrestlers I've been looking at some your work and feel that you all need to really improve your performances. With my more smarter brain, you'll be cutting awesomer promos in no time, sisters. Now I know it is scary talking in front of all those Hulkamaniacs and Brookamaniacs, but don't worry that is why I am here, to make you all betterer. Okay to start, on Impact this week, Marrissa I noticed-

Madison: "It's Madison."

Brooke: "Marrissa will get us higher ratings! Anyway I noticed that in your last promo you said Velvet was a whore who had slept with half the roster, now this can't be going on anymore, it is completelty unhelpful."

Madison: "well what was wrong with saying that?"

Brooke: "you're meant to be insulting your opponent, silly! Not complimenting her."

Tara: "What! That's not a compliment."

Brooke: "Of course it is, I know what I am doing I have been around wrestling my entire life, I have created many cool angles and stuff. "

Velvet: "Really?"

Brooke: "Yeah, Listen here Jills, you don't hear about it because I didn't want all the fame, but I was a huge influence of the Attitude era. No-one else knows because Vince used to have private meetings with me in his hotel room. All the bestest diva moments are because of me, sisters! In fact it was me that came up with the idea of having Trish stratus bark! It was inspired from a real life experience.
Anyway back to promos, if you girls want an example of a really good promo just check out my one that I tweeted to Scott Steiner! I showed him who is the prettiest, smarter she-wrestler around! Now I'm gonna teach you dudettes how to do the same!"

Hogans enters.

Hogan: "You almost finshed in their Brooke, we gotta go to the beach today, dude."
Brooke: "Coming daddy!"

can't, stop, laughing thanks ;D

Just wait till Mickie has to put over Brooke.

indeed

[Hit Girl]

If Brooke has to be in TNA, they should actively go with the nepotism angle. Have Brooke be an obnoxious authority figure who abuses the Knockouts simply because she's Hogan's daughter and can do it.

[kidkamikaze10]

I didn't even like it when Traci was KO law, nevermind Karen or Brooke.

WHY is it so hard to book the KOs like a legit women's wrestling division? Without the stupid authority figure angles, just straight up wrestling. With wrestlers.

I just want a better version of the Hamada/Flash/Daffney/Kong era.

Mikey, dude, I seriously think that your non TNA posts are among some of the wittiest on the forum, and I like you for it. And this next post is in no way meant to be flaming or baiting you.

But seriously, what's the point of you saying 'Wait and see' on this matter? Because the fact is, when we do wait and see how this whole deal inevitably goes down the crapper (and it will, BIG TIME), you will still find some way of defending this absolutely ridiculous and atrocious decision that Dixie Carter has made.

Usually, wait and see involves the beginning of an angle or wrestler's career, not before anything is even done. I just want to see more before I jump on either bandwagon.

Really, don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of this decision. This was my honest reaction when I heard the news:



But still, I'd like some real insight, not just a usual "It's TNA, so it's dumb" line.

You know, it would be nice if you could come out and give your own opinion on something sooner, rather than waiting for everyone else to bitch and then coming in to point out what's wrong with their bitching, even in a situation like this where you also don't like the thing that everyone is bitching about. It gives this defensive, contrarian vibe to your posts, and it makes it easy to "get you wrong". From your earlier posts in the thread, it seemed like you liked the idea, or at least didn't have any objection to it.

So how long can we expect before Nick Hogan is the executive trainer and talent supervisor of all 'X Division' wrestlers??

Goddamn.

Brooke vs. Garrett in a father on a pole match. First to retrieve their poppa from the poles gets a date with big poppa pump

Possibly because WWE is still using authority figures, so TNA naturally imitates.

To be fair, I was less going defensive over it, and more going on the idea that this is the worst thing that has ever happened, ever.

And who knew my opinion is considered so important that I need to post it right away?

Brooke will make Johnny Ace look like the second coming of the Rock with her mic work.

Live Impacts with an untrained Brooke cutting promos will probably be uncomfortable to watch, due to the sheer ineptitude.

[Jonathan Michaels]

The sad thing is, with good training, she could be a fairly decent wrestler eventually.

She's a big girl (six feet), she'd at least be believable as a bruiser towards the smaller girls.

But as an executive?

No.
Just no.

Looks like May 31 is when TNA throws the Brooke at us. From their website:

Television personality and recording artist Brooke Hogan is joining the cast of the highly-rated weekly wrestling program, TNA’s “IMPACT WRESTLING” starting Thursday, May 31 on Spike TV. Brooke’s role will be as the Executive in Charge of the female wrestling division, The Knockouts. Brooke will join a star-studded cast of the biggest names in professional wrestling, including her father, wrestling legend Hulk Hogan. TNA’s flagship series, “IMPACT WRESTLING,” telecasts on Spike TV and is one of the network’s top-rated series on Thursday nights with young men and currently ranks among the top shows on cable in its timeslot with Men 18-34.
In addition to overseeing the traditional duties of the Knockouts Division, Brooke will bring a new energy and direction to the role working with the girls in a variety of capacities.
"I have really gotten to know Brooke by working with her on her music career this past year and a half," said Dixie Carter, President of TNA Wrestling. "When we did talk wrestling, I not only loved her passion and knowledge of it, but the fresh, creative ideas she would come up with. She is very savvy. I asked if she would consider teaming up with me in this capacity while she also worked on her music, and I was thrilled when she said ‘yes.’ A big personality runs in her genes, obviously, and I know she is going to take an already exciting division of Impact Wrestling to another level."
Brooke is heading to New York next week for a media tour to promote her addition to the IMPACT WRESTLING team. Brooke will also promote “IMPACT WRESTLING’s” move to 8 PM and that the series will telecast LIVE for the summer starting Thursday, May 31. TNA's 10th anniversary SLAMMIVERSARY pay-per-view-event is set for June 10th in Dallas, Texas.
The TNA roster features many of the top names in wrestling including the aforementioned Hulk Hogan, Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, Bobby Roode, Sting, James Storm, Rob Van Dam, and the lovely and lethal Knockouts.
Brooke Hogan, a native of Tampa, Fl, is a successful television personality, singer and songwriter. Brooke starred in two acclaimed non-scripted shows on Spike’s sister network, VH1, including “Hogan Knows Best” and the spinoff, “Brooke Knows Best.” Both were #1 rated shows for the network. Brooke has also released two albums, “Undiscovered” in 2006 which peaked at #28 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “The Redemption” in 2009. Her song, "Everything To Me," peaked at #1 twice on Billboard’s Top Single Chart. Hogan’s film credits include “Little Hercules in 3D,” “Sand Sharks,” and “Devour."

Wait, wait. Hogan can choose to hype up his being in Rocky 3 or Little Hercules, and he chooses the one where he talked to someone from the inside of their toilet?
