so TNA is where old/failed WWE wrestlers go to retire?

[kareru]

well contrary to that belief , here are a few wrestlers that WWE sponged off TNA

Joey Mercury
CM Punk
Monty Brown
Montel Vontavious Porter
Kid Kash
Kizarny
Trinity
Lance Hoyt
Mickie James
Paul London
Cassidy O'Reilly
Trytan

[Corporate CockSnogger]

ok

[kareru]

well, now you know

[Xero]

Joey Mercury- Barely there.
CM Punk - Barely there.
Monty Brown - Jobber in WWE
Montel Vontavious Porter - Barely there
Kid Kash - OK, but I'm sure his ECW run had more to do with it. But jobber.
Kizarny - I don't know if I can call him a jobber because I don't think he even debuted after the vignettes.
Trinity - ok
Lance Hoyt - We'll see.
Mickie James - ok
Paul London - Barely there
Cassidy O'Reilly-ok
Trytan - did he ever make it up?

[Xero]

Don't see how this is relevant, anyway. It's not like WWE brings them in superior or on par to their main eventers.

[kareru]

just saying

[Xero]

That WWE looks for good and new talents to sign? Ok, again, what's the relevance?

[kareru]

the road goes 2 ways

[Xero]

And I made a point that the majority either didn't make it in WWE or were barely in TNA.

Meanwhile, you have Kurt Angle, Foley, etc coming in as being better than TNA's own talent. It's like they're saying "WWE is better than us". WWE doesn't do that, as they shouldn't.

[kareru]

thats not true, the only former wwe wrestler to hold a title at the moment is tara
and kurt angle is the only former wwe wrestler to be in the main events

[kareru]

and cm punk was in tna for over a year and concidering the company is 7 years old thats like 14%

[Savio]

Kizarny - I don't know if I can call him a jobber because I don't think he even debuted after the vignettes.

I think he wrestled once against MVP.

[kareru]

Kizarny was in WWE for 2 years

[DAMN iNATOR]

Joey Mercury- Barely there.
CM Punk - Barely there.
Monty Brown - Jobber in WWE
Montel Vontavious Porter - Barely there
Kid Kash - OK, but I'm sure his ECW run had more to do with it. But jobber.
Kizarny - I don't know if I can call him a jobber because I don't think he even debuted after the vignettes.
Trinity - ok
Lance Hoyt - We'll see.
Mickie James - ok
Paul London - Barely there
Cassidy O'Reilly-ok
Trytan - did he ever make it up?

He debuted against and beat MVP, although it's been almost a year to the day.

[Xero]

Kizarny was in WWE for 2 years

You're right on Punk, however, Kizarny was in DEVELOPMENTAL for 2 years. That's not "WWE", otherwise I'm sure you could add a shitload to that list.

Also, yes, Tara is the only champion, but I'm saying when they first come in, they basically don't have to prove themselves and are put on a petestal above TNA's home grown talent. That's why guys like AJ weren't the face of the company when they SHOULD have been.

[kareru]

that was the past man, you goto start thinking about the future

[The Pope]

i'd rather have kurt angle come in and be champ than have a guy name sheamus who i've never seen before by the way just come in and win wwe gold.

[Vastardikai]

...

Kizarny looked sloppier than a pig in a mudhole. Also, I have to ask this, as I'm certain it was asked last year:

Who thought a guy who was speaking in what is more or less Pig-Latin would get over? And if they're still employed by WWE, WHY?

[The Pope]

who is this u talk about Vastardikai?

[CSL]

lol come on. That list shows how inept TNA are if anything

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Is this list supposed to prove something? Wrestlers switch promotions all the time.

[Vastardikai]

who is this u talk about Vastardikai?

I izam tizalking abizout Kizarny.

[BillyBonez]

The difference is simple, TNA takes old farts from the WWE and throws them in the main event and go OMG OMG look and when WWE take someone from TNA they take a young guy and they put them low on the card and dont pay attention to them because its not a big deal but TNA it a big deal if someone from WWE comes from them.

[erickman]

i thought tna was where the old ecw wrestlers go thats most of the old guys sept for steiner sting hogan an nash.

[Savio]

speaking of kizarny

“Working at WWE was also awful because there is so much politics and back stabbing you never know who your enemies are because they are all gutlessly and unaccountably hiding in the shadows,” he said. “I wasn’t given a straight reason why I was released. One minute I was told how unique I was and how great of a work ethic I had. The next minute they had nothing for me. I have heard many different theories. I guess I just didn’t fit their mold of cookie cutter. Not enough abs showing I guess even though in the ring I can run circles around every ex-NFL player or jacked up underwear model collecting a paycheck in the WWE developmental system. Vince and his billion dollar case of ADD wants Ken Dolls sports entertaining against other Ken Dolls at the moment. Me looking weird or different didn’t compute with the tunnel vision that WWE sometimes has even though Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson and Hot F*****g Topic retail stores are all the rage with kiddies.”

[RatedGSuperstar]

Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, and Hot Topic are all the rage with kids? What is this, 1999?

[kareru]

vampires are all the rage, but i can see his point

[parkmania]

Vince in 2012: "Vampires all all the rage now, where's that Kevin Thorn?"

[Xero]

Vince in 2022: "Vampires all all the rage now, where's that Kevin Thorn?"

2012 will be Pirates.

[parkmania]

Sorry, you're right.

[The Pope]

NWO came back to WWE and that's not the same. they were old as fuck.

[Hanso Amore]

thats not true, the only former wwe wrestler to hold a title at the moment is tara
and kurt angle is the only former wwe wrestler to be in the main events

I would consider Nash, booker, and Steiner to be in the main event area in the last year.

Plus Christian was their main guy for awhile. Meanwhile TNA gave the WWE braden Walker.

long story short this thread is retarded and you can suck a dick

[DAMN iNATOR]

2012 will be Pirates.

Nah, 12-21-12 will be the return of the pale rider, Mordecai, as he sets out to destroy WWE.

[The Pope]

Bret Hart is gonna be put into main events when he returns

[Xero]

Bret was never in TNA. :roll:

[kareru]

I would consider Nash, booker, and Steiner to be in the main event area in the last year.

long story short this thread is retarded and i want to suck a dick

i consider nash, booker and steiner to be wcw guys

[CSL]

You mean Kevin Nash WCW jobber turned WWF champion and millionaire?

[kareru]

...turned WCW champion turned multi-millionaire

[CSL]

I was being pedantic, I see him as more of a WCW guy too

[CSL]

Original post still makes no sense though

[kareru]

well thats one of the main criticisms of tna, that tna is like a wwe trash can, im just showing the road goes 2 ways

[Loose Cannon]

had no clue MVP was in TNA

[CSL]

Yeah but TNA did fuck all with Punk, even taking him off their shows at one point. He shows up in WWE, who know how to get somebody over and now look at him. They also used MVP as a bland jobber and look at him now. The rest of the list let's face it, don't matter whatsoever. I'd say maybe the only exception is Monty Brown, who probably could have done well for Vince if not for the problems with his family.

<strike>TOVO</strike> CSL fact: CM Punk was TNA Heavyweight champion on CSL's EWR game whilst still employed by the company in real life

[erickman]

had no clue MVP was in TNA

i did'nt ether till he did his pot interview he left after geting in a fight with washed up raven.

[Juan]

Monty Brown was a jobber in WWE?
