Both TNA and WWE interested in Bob Sapp

[Mr. Nerfect]

From 411Mania.com:

- TNA is heavily negotiating with Bob Sapp. Sapp and Kurt Angle met while filming Pros vs. Joes for Spike TV. Spike fell in love with him, and wanted to work with him more. TNA wanted to fly him in for the most recent tapings, but logistically it wasn't possible for Sapp to get there.

- The current deal offered to Sapp if a four-month deal, for $2,500 a match. He would work a program with Kurt Angle, culminating in a steel cage match with hype on Sapp's MMA background and Angle's wrestling background. They wanted to play off of the realism of their backgrounds. Also included in the deal is a program with Samoa Joe after the Angle program is complete. It is unlikely Sapp would work for so little, as he makes $35,000 per match working HUSTLE.

- WWE is also working to make a deal with Sapp. While Sapp is contracted to HUSTLE, WWE claims he could work both companies since they don't view HUSTLE as their competition. They looked to sign him earlier this year as well.

Well at least he'll be able to wrestle, unlike Pacman Jones. I am not interested in him going to TNA. I'd rather him go to WWE. TNA will fuck him up worse than WWE ever could.

[JT]

Right off the bat though, WWE give the better deal.

If he goes to TNA, he's either stupid or being blackmailed.

Guess again: They want him to go to Smackdown!

[BigDaddyCool]

TNA, needs to push its undercard, not hire more outsiders to keep the undercard down.

[BigDaddyCool]

Also, Sapp should go to WWE.

Wait...are you saying Impact is better than Smackdown?

[Jordan]

I think Sapp would be awesome in WWE... I can imagine Cena vs Sapp... lol

Sapp Wins :shifty:

[JT]

Honestly I don't even watch MMA. What I know of it is from what my friends tell me about it. However, a $2500 in a small time wrestling promotion that has been know to do nothing but fail, verses the amount of cash WWE will throw at him, there well known programs, and the addition to Hustle's $35,000...WWE sounds the way to go. :y:

[Hanso Amore]

Jesus, 35000 a match....Were talking Hustle in japan, the shit with liek super heroes and monsters and shit?!

[Kane Knight]

Wait...are you saying Impact is better than Smackdown?

How dare you hold my quips up to scrutiny!

[JT]

:(

[Kane Knight]

Nah. It's a lateral move.

I acytually have a theory that Impact! and Smackdown! are the same show. It's not so much that Shadow's right, and Vince owns TNA, and more that if nobody watches either show...

[Jeritron]

It's like a tree falling in the woods. If nobody hears it, does it really make a sound?

Similarly, for Smackdown and Impact, if nobody watches, did it really air?

[BigDaddyCool]

Sapp is going to ECW.

[JT]

Sapp is going to ECW.

No he's not...ECW went out of business 7 years ago. :roll:

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Bob Sapp in WWE would be interesting, and I honestly think he could get over huge.

[BigDaddyCool]

WWECW?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Me too. I mean the guy is already probably more capable in the ring than Goldberg, with an even more legit background. I'd mark out for Sapp tearing John Cena or Bobby Lashley apart.

The guy is apparently really charismatic, too.

You seen the Longest YArd? Shitty movie, but he plays a character well, might have some skills.

Movie sucks though.

Sapp vs Khali in a Longest Yard Street Fight


Book it.

Nah, Adam Sandler comedies tend to make me feel dirty. Bob Sapp sounds like what they want from Bobby Lashley.

Worth a fuck?

[.44 Magdalene]

All I know is that Bob Sapp is a big, scary negro.




Yeah, Sapp > Lashley.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Worth a fuck?

Exactly. Well, to be fair, Lashley is a pretty solid wrestler when the WWE is not trying to make him out to be a boring power guy. He's capable, and his shit on SmackDown! was kind of fun. But he has the intensity they try to associate with Lashley. I remember a promo on SmackDown! (this is during the Trump vs. McMahon shit) where Lashley was meant to give Vince an intimidating stare. It looked funny as fuck. Bob Sapp would probably be able to get at least that much down.

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, I dig Lashley, but he's so misused. I can't take the fucker seriously.

Now I sort of want WWE to hire him.

[Funky Fly]

Certainly better than Bobby Olegun.

[Hanso Amore]

Ernest Miller + Lashley = Bob Sapp

[.44 Magdalene]

I think there's at least a little Monty Brown in there, too.
