I think Matt Hardy would be good for TNA's X-Division.

Those guys would probably do great in TNA but still wouldn't get far with Double J, instead of Triple H. And let's not forget those old guys that should have stayed gone. **coughcough NASH coughcough **

That's true..but I think I read somewhere that they're planning to take the title off of JJ at Destination X.
Anyone find it odd that the initials of their next ppv is DX when over half of DX is there now? Waltman, BG James, The Outlaw...

I met DDP back when wrestling was hot shit in 98.

You know what's funny about that? For the last few months I've been getting the TNA pay-per-views hoping to god that Jarret will finally drop the title, and this is the ONE person that I didn't want him to job to and now it looks like the plan is for him to. I've lost faith in the heavyweight division in TNA. I'm more interested in the tag division than that shit. I don't understand how DDP isn't suffering from xpac heat.

Matt Hardy :y:
And probably a bunch of other guys. For most of them, even a little TV time over on the TNA shows is better than what they're getting in WWE right now.

Almost EVERYONE in the WWE is expendable.
The problem is, to really benefit TNA, they would need to be BIG stars (Not necessarily the Rock, but certainly bigger than Richards...), AND be given real time on the show. As it is, the hour a week doesn't showcase much of their talent well, especially with Planet Jarrett at the top.
Would someone in the WWE really benefit? It would likely mean less money, less exposure, and less TV time (Except for the Heat/Velocity ONLY people), and a chance to shine only if they could get on TV reliably. If they're big enough to be worth it to TNA, they'd still have to get above the whole "Jarrett" glass ceiling, making TNA hardly more preferable. Put it this way, While I think Hardy sucks, they were STUPID to ever fucking put him in the main event and then have Jarrett come out on top. If you want mainstream access, Hardy vs Abyss is not where it's at, but Hardy in a main event scene might have at least put some asses in the seats.

I think the only person in the WWE who would benefit both himself and the company would be Rob Van Dam...from what I understand TNA is shelling out big pay checks to some people (Nash, Hall, Jarrett, DDP, etc.......and yet the true stars Skipper/Daniels/Willaims are getting 500 a show) and despite not having enough money I havn't heard of any of the bouncing, so from that stand point RVD wouldn't be making a money mistake, also I don't think WWE will ever use RVD correctly, however again in TNA from my understanding it is alot more laid back in terms of what can and can't be done (not to the level of ECW but still)...and if he went over, got in the Main Event scene, was pushed as a big time player, he could be a draw. Let's not forget RVD was pretty much the only thing keeping average fans tunned in to ECW during the final years...he has main stream apeal and everyone loves the mother fucker to death. Also as a breif point in my tally side, when Raven was going after the Title (back during the weekly PPV era) they were pulling in their highest numbers...and while I LOVE me my Raven, I think RVD could pull in better.
Anyway to make a long story short, Robbie V.

:y: Spot on, when did his matches start to suck? Was it an over-night thing when he realised he was never going to main event and just stopped caring?
for the purpose of the thread, I'd like TNA to sign every cruiserweight from WWE so Vince can get on with what he really wants and stop leading us on.
