]The problem is TNA DOESN'T do half the things you think. TNA had Both Hardys, The Dudley's, Kurt Angle, Lashley, and MVP on the same card and the attendance was below a 1,000 and that's with Full Metal Mayhem as the Main Event between the Hardys, Wolves, and the Dudley's. You just made me think of something. After reading this, I can't help but to wonder how good TNA has been at promoting their shows, because an indy show came to my town earlier this year where the only big name on the card was Scott Steiner and it drew over 1,000 people. I remember for a couple of months prior to the event, they had posters all over town for it. They are horrible. Christopher Daniels and I believe AJ said the same story that they where in a gym across the street from the venue TNA was doing a show. People there where asking them what they where doing in town. Daniels said they had a show across the street. Nobody knew there was anything going on at that arena. I can't find the video on youtube but I remember watching it.

Word going round is they have poached the Kingdom (Bennett and Maria) from ROH (no idea personally). Meltzer's reporting they're aggressively going after those coming to the end or not under contracts.

Man, Maria must have really pissed off the Bella's if she and Bennett are thinking that TNA is an option.

"You can have them!" Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap! "You can have them!"

It's not the Kingdom without Adam Cole in the mix. It's Maria and Maria's ass & those two guys. New Japan will be very disappointed because Maria's ass was the only reason why Taven and Bennett were getting booked by them.

You know how TNA is, if you appeared even as a cameo on WWE TV they'll automatically try and sign you. Their going after them so they can shill Maria as a former major player in the womens' division depsite she was at most a warm body who took the fall.

In Maria's defense, she was very over for most of her WWE run and was involved in several high-profile storylines. Just not as an in-ring competitor. That said, I completely understand why TNA would want Maria and Bennett. What I don't completely understand is why Maria and Bennett would want to go to TNA. The only thing I can think of is that their bridges with the WWE are completely burned due to the Bella feud, ROH is trying to tighten up on their contracted talent working outside shows (see their recent deal with the Young Bucks) and, out of sheer necessity, TNA is loosening up their talents restrictions on working indie dates, and they feel they can make more money from working sporadic TNA tapings and indies then the can from ROH. Of course then they're cutting themselves off from some lucrative NJPW pay dates, but again they might not consider traveling to Japan worth it.

Who knows, part of me won't be surprised if it turns out to not be true and they don't appear. WWE has shown interest in Bennett and it seems foolish to throw that away or their gig they had in ROH. There's really no reason for anyone who's contract expired with ROH not to resign with them or go to TNA. The only advantage TNA had before was they got over a million viewers and could get more exposure, and now ROH is beating them in the ratings. Not to mention doing shows, not just mass tv tapings and PPV deals as well on a weekly basis.

The big problem, there, is WWE has shown interest *in Bennett*, but none in Maria- and Maria and Bennett have made it clear they're a package deal. If TNA would take both of them, then that's likely the tiebreaker.

I remember seeing something saying that the Bellas and Maria smoothed things out between them to at least be civil, but that could be BS for all I know. It also wouldn't necessarily mean she was a shoe-in, just her odds sound better than last time around.

Let's be serious, about 95% of people that have worked for tna end up having a fall out with that company.
TNA is not a good career move, they end up f***ing you. The Young Bucks almost retired after what tna did to them. Nigel McGuinness got Hepatitis B under their watch and he had to work in a deli for a living, all while he was still signed to TNA. Japanese stars have also been buried there like Okada.
It's not a good thing to work for tna, it's a place run by shady people with shady business practices.

Something that is not TNA will save you mentally and emotionally in the long run Bennett.

Something that is not TNA will save you mentally and emotionally in the long run Bennett. Well CZW already has Pepper Parks and Cherry Bomb so I can't see them looking at Bennett and Maria. And I don't think PWG is interested either. As for them and Taven going to TNA, while I will openly admit they've improved in ROH, they were still just those 2 guys with Adam Cole to me. Maria aired a lot of dirty laundry and not just about the Bellas that got her into hot water. Now I will give TNA credit, at The Kingdom is a better option than when they tried to sign Brutal Burgers Young Bucks have made peace with TNA and have sad they have no bad blood with anybody in the company. They were bitter at the time, but they did the One Night Only show and were happy with how it went. Actually have said they wouldn't be against working for TNA again.
