TNA News: Juvy,Garza,Shelley,Gunn

[Shawn Mega]

Alex Shelly did sign a TNA deal on July 8th. He has been making it known that "The Baby Bear" name was TNA's idea, not his.

- Hector Garza has caused some controversy between AAA and TNA. Garza left AAA recently and has continued to work for TNA. Garza told Jeff Jarrett that he quit AAA because AAA head Antonio Pena was not paying him on time for his TNA and Japan appearances. Jarrett told Garza he would continue to book him despite the fact that TNA has had a working relationship with AAA. Jarrett was also upset by the fact that Pena did not send the two mini wrestlers that he had requested for the TNA second anniversary show.

- Pena was backstage at the Impact! taping this week soothing things over with Jeff Jarrett. Things seem to have gone well to the point that TNA may quit using Hector Garza. TNA and AAA could also start promoting joint shows in Los Angeles and San Diego.

- Juventud Guerrera has been pushing heavily to get back on TNA. Guerrera upset management last year when he worked stiff, did not protect other wrestlers, and complained about jobbing.

Billy Gunn have been hinting to close friends and other wrestlers that he might leave the WWE like Raven and work TNA/Indies.

Juvy is one of the most talented performers I've ever seen. This guy is just amazing. Last year in TNA,he put on two **** performances in one night. That match he had with Teddy Hart was great.

Only one good thing can come out of Billy Gunn going to TNA,reuniting with BG James(Road Dogg). The fans will always love them. They're like the Hulk Hogan of Tag Teams.

Garza is replacable

Shelley is the next big thing in the X-Division. This guy can work his ass off.

That Billy GUNN news is bullshit I think. I saw that over at another site and I wanted to put it on the front news board, but when I went to pwtorch, it wasn't even there, so I don't know.

Well for someone like Gunn i think he'd be better off in the WWE as he always seems to get re signed and he's been there for 10 years he's loyal, so chances are he could land a backstage job. He hasn't got that many year left in him.

If he went to the indys his money might increase but he'd have to work a hell of alot harder than he does right now, and once he's old no one will book him and he'd be screwed.

As far a Juvy goes, yeah he did have some awsome matches last year, hope he can work something out to get him back on TV

[Shawn Mega]

Gunn is better off in WWE for his sake. His recent house shows matches have been under 5 minutes. This guy wrestle like 15 minutes a week. Eddie and others wrestle more than that in one match. Teaming up with BG James is his only option that might work in TNA.

From a fan point of view,I hope Juvy returns.Like I said,he's one of the greatest in-ring performers I've ever seen. If Juvy want to act like a fool,maybe he should stay put.

Well I loves me my Billy...and seeing how (some) of the former WWE starts have had great careers over in TNA I would like to see him there for the sake of seeing him in the ring every week as oposed to every month or so right now on WWE TV...however for his sake, financially he should stay put and try to land a backstage job. I don't think he wants to wrestle a whole bunch more, and being a road agent or creative staff seems like what most retired guys go to. Who knows. Many he has enough money to last him to retirment. I understand Gunn can be quite stingy with the purse strings. And he was around back in the hey days of 98, 99 and 00 so I am sure he was handed a grip of money back then. Who knows.

I will say this, if he does go to TNA....and wins the World Title...I could die a happy man. My favorite company and favorite wrestler...ohhhhhhhh....ohhh the sweetness of it all.

(Oh and this rumor was started because at a recent TNA IMPACT taping in Orlando [Gunn's home town] he was backstage to visit with some friends.)
