AW CRAP. SAVAGE

[Loose Cannon]

We've been told that after debuting at Victory Road, Randy Savage called up the TNA office today and gave his notice.

According to a source backstage at the Impact!! taping, Savage claimed that TNA officials had an unsafe working environment due to what happened with Hogan backstage at the PPV on Sunday.

We've been told that Hogan walked up to Savage Sunday night prior to the PPV and told him that they could step out in the parking lot and settle differences. Savage ignored the comment and walked away.

The Turning Point PPV was originally scheduled to feature Randy Savage & Monty Brown & AJ Styles vs. Jeff Jarrett & The Outsiders in the main event on 12/5, but with Savage pulling out, that is out the window.

that's alright, they've got someone to replace him. :y:

[DaveWadding]

Be a Man LC

[RemyRed]

Be A Man Savage.

Edit- Damn. Wadding beat me to it...kind of.

[Dazz]

Oh Well, he is an old past it hasbeen

[Corkscrewed]

Eh.. he has enough Slim Jims to survive.

[Loose Cannon]

yea, out of all the guys that have come in, I least cared about Savage. Now they can push to get the Stinger.

[Azriel]

I thought him and Hogan were buddies.

[Loose Cannon]

Savage has hated Hogan ever since Savage claimed Hogan ruined his marriage. Savage is delusional BTW. :y:

[Volchok]

Savage is annoying.. im sorry but i hated him in WCW and those damn Slim Jim commercials... gah...

[Azriel]

To Elizabeth? How so?

[John la Rock]

Ya Hogan and Savage hate each others guts

[Azriel]

I would love, just for old times sake, to see them go at it one more time, like Bret and HBK, or Flair and Sting

[Gone Mad]

Unsafe environment? Savage is a rapper, man! Life every day is unsafe when you're a rapper. He's not keepin' it real. "MACHO MAN DOT COM ON YOUR CD-ROM. OOOHHH YEAh!"

..what an idiot.

[Innovator]

They have someone on the roster who can fill in for Savage...Nevermore

It would be the greatest nursing home match since Hogan vs. Piper part 234320.

[Azriel]

What can I say, I'm a sucker for nostalgia.

[Aussie Skier]

they can now bring in hogan, but make him a face i suppose....

[Loose Cannon]

I wasn't talking about Raven filling the spot BTW. ;) 3 words.

And as for the Savage/Hogan situation. Basically Savage blamed Hogan twice for his failed marriages. I was talking about the most recent one with Gorgeous George, but he also blamed Hogan for failure with Liz. And I think he blamed Hogan for wrecking his career.

[KayfabeMan]

Earlier today Randy Savage issued this statement via a pre-recorded "audio message" / rap on his website:

TNA brought me up to Orlan-do
Dropped a few grand on the Macho Man yo
My appearance was supposed to be a slam dunk
But Hulk Hogan called me out as a real big punk

Ran in for the finish of the pay-per-view
One appearance, and my career there's through
Nash got better, and Hall stayed sober
But I'm still crazy and my career's over

I ruined a big match for both Brown and AJ
But it's all cool, 'cause I got a big payday
I shot my mouth off about a man like Bollea
And then ran off when it was time to pay-ah

So goodbye TNA, I never meant to hurt thee
I'm just afraid that Hogan will call me out and hurt me
Ohhhhhh yeaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!! DIG IT!!!

[Mr. JL]

Savage is a bitch. And TNA made a really bad decision allowing Hogan hang around in the back when he is not on the PPV card. Hogan just ruined something for TNA. Savage is still a bitch for pulling out though.

Savage clearly has no respect for TNA, the wrestlers and wrestling fans. He's worried about a guy who moves slower than the Pope and probally hits as hard as Mother Teresa.

Savage is a PUNK.

[Bazooka]

LC, this is exactly like I said was going to happen back in that post I made.

Yeah, I said I wasn't purchasing Victory Road PPV on Sunday but I saw it for free anyways, since I was at my aunts on the weekend and she get illegal sattelite.

Missed the first two matches but I'll tell you the best match was, AJ styles vs Petey Williams was a sweet match; I loved it.

Also seeing the Outsiders was awesome and Macho Man back, which was reminiscent of his return in WCW awhile back where it just showed his feet walking, then he came in the ring with a two by four in a battle royal. If history plays out Macho Man isn't comming back to TNA, as he never showed up in WCW after that big comeback he made in WCW.

Back on topic, great news DDP is back in TNA.

Something about PDD joining TNA but LC edited my post for whatever reason :mad:

[Boondock Saint]

Ah well.

[The CyNick]

I read that the crowd was down for the last TV taping, that should tell you all you need to know about their chances.

Going with guys that haven't drawn money in 5 years was always going to be a bad idea.

[Shadow]

Oh well...guess there's always DDP.

[Mr. JL]

I suppose it does not matter who they bring in...

They need a national TV deal on a week night if they want to be successful.

[The CyNick]

They need some new, fresh ideas.

You can have all the good TV slots you want, but what good is it if your main angle in NWO Version 2,312,999 in its weakest form yet?

I was hoping the Victory Road PPV would bring in some new major angle, or put over one of their rising stars, but it did neither.

I understand what they are trying to do, but it just wont work.

[Gerard]

Hogan just ruined something for TNA.


So its hogans fault savage is a dellusional middle aged old fart who seems to have an undertaker fetish? :wtf:

[KayfabeMan]

Hogan didn't ruin anything.

Savage calls him out, he answers - period. If Savage didn't want to fight Hogan, he should have kept his fucking mouth shut, plain and simple. Hogan called him back so to speak, and Savage didn't want to answer the phone.

Also, I don't think TNA's crowd numbers have anything to do with who they are using - as much as their location and the way things are ran. When you are based inside of a TV studio, in one city (which really doesn't have a big population of fans in or around it itself) it's hard to freaking draw anyone but tourists and the most diehard of fans. In addition to that, their tapings and PPV's are rather disorganized when it comes to going to it / getting in.

now you got it everything that goes wrong in savages life is hogans fault. as long as hogan does not expect to get paid i would love to see hogan hang out at the show.

[LK]

This is why I worry for TNA's future. Spending laods of money on a guy like Savage that don't give a damn and are there purely for the money and don't care about improving the product.

[CosaNostra]

Savage is a head case. TNA should never have bothered with him in the first place.

[SuperSlim]

Savage just lost heaves of respect. :nono:

[.44 Magdalene]

Savage be losin' his street cred, yo.

Word to your mother.

[Shaggy]

LOL this is just funny....I was thinking Savage was gonna be around and I was surprised to see him at Victory Road. I guess we shouldnt hope to much since he is gone now.

[The Mackem]

There's a lesson for TNA in all of this...

[Nowhere Man]

They have someone on the roster who can fill in for Savage...Nevermore

I agree. Edgar Allan Poe was always a better worker than the Macho Man.

[V]

savage is a fucking whiner

Moommmy, Hogan's gonna kick my ass :( i wanna quit my job :(:(:( i don't wana get my ass kicked cuz i'm a fucking whiner :(, waaaaaah, hogan's nothing but a bully :(

[BigDaddyCool]

TNA sucks donkey balls. Give me 6 months at the helm of TNA, they would at least have decent story lines that don't rely on hasbeens and washed up old stinky WCW/WWE rejects.

[Rob]

Wow! One internet story and every suddenly sh</>its on the Macho Man. That never happens does it? :roll:

For the record, Savage would absolutely murder Hogan if they ever had a fight. The dude beat up Road Warrior Hawk and he was one tough mofo. Hogan can barely fight sleep.

[samichna]

Rob, what's the story behind the fight with Hawk?

[Rob]

There were two. First one in Japan, Hawk killed him. Second was a few years back at a Kid Rock show which Savage one. Hawk claimed he got cheap shotted but he is hardly gonna admit he got his arse kicked. Hawk's wife did get beat up by 2 chicks though (one being Stephanie Bellers. aka Gorgeous George) so it is believable.

[samichna]

Thanks for the info, Roberto.

[Rob]

I wouldn't believe me personally. Nobody seems to these days.

[samichna]

Do you want me to beat up Dan Lovranski for you?

I know where he drinks his beers, Robert.

I KNOW WHERE THE MAN DRINKS HIS BEERS!

[Loose Cannon]

I heard various reports online and on tape that it was actually a sucker punch by Savage. These were from people who were there. But who knows, what people remember is about 25% accurate any way.

[Loose Cannon]

Don't worry, I believe you Rob :)

[Rob]

Do you want me to beat up Dan Lovranski for you?

I know where he drinks his beers, Robert.

I KNOW WHERE THE MAN DRINKS HIS BEERS!

God is he still alive?

[samichna]

He is nothing without Marek. :(

[Rob]

True dat.

The second Marek left, LAW went downhill. Ever since they took down the archives, I could care less.

Between The Ropes is by far the best out there and this is coming from someone who listened to Meltzer's show religiously for like 5 years.
