Christian to TNA already? (rumors running rampant!)
 

Partial Source: PWInsider.com

WWE.com has posted photos of the RAW diva girls backstage getting ready for Monday's Halloween contest.

WWE.com posted a story yesterday noting that they received over 10 million hits last month. They also noted "In a continued effort to be the most informative and entertaining wrestling Web site, WWE.com is working on several new projects scheduled to be rolled out over the next few months." Looks like we may have ourselves some competition!

WWE has announced a two day tour of Japan on February 4th and 5th for the Smackdown workers.

Rob Van Dam has posted new commentary at RobVanDam.com where he talks about Joey Styles returning to the announce booth.

Todays Globe and Mail has a story noting that Bret Hart settled his legal lawsuit against Lloyds of London, coming out of his career-ending injury at the foot of Bill Goldberg.

According to sources, Christian is all but confirmed to sign with TNA. In real life, he is good friends with both Rhino and TNA booking committee member Scott D'Amore and a deal is said to be all but signed. The travel schedule with TNA also appeals to him as he wants to get into movies and actually already has a big role lined up for him in February.

nice. Christian resides in Florida so that should be a beneift to him too

Shame he can't use the name Christian... which I really don't get how Vince can copyright that... does that mean I can be sued since i'm a christian?

Christian 3===D

Christian's just started building a family, but I don't thnk someone as talented or as charismatic as him can stay out of the spotlight for long (or want to). Being able to drive down the road, go out, wrestle a match that will be accessible all over the world seems right up Christian's ally.

Would he be able to use his "Christian Cage" name? Maybe "Christian Reso"? They can't trademark the name "Christian" can they?

I think he would be able to trademark the showname "Christian". So a young wrestler can't come in calling himself "Christian" to get attention or something.

I am curious as to how far Vinnie Mac has the term "Christian" trademarked. Can they use it as part of his name?

If Christian goes to TNA, I will gladly eat crow and start watching it.


TNA doesn't have anyone I really care about, but Christian alone is enough to make me watch.

New captain of Team Canada?

Whoo for Christian. BTW, speaking of Team Canada, where the hell is Johnny Devine these days?

How about they keep him out of that group and let him do his own thing?

Though I must admit...Christian vs. Petey is something I'd like to see.

Dead to me.

Next Team Canada question: why does A1 never wrestle? I have seriously never seen a match of his.

Anything tied to the anme "Christian" Can be considered "market confusion." So I'm betting Christian Cage will not fly.

Jason Reso is fine. He should just use his name.

I think he should go find the guy who owns "Captain Charisma" and license it.

Because it would be a perfect transition into his return, D'Amore could exclaim that Team Canada is in serious need of a change. He could fire Petey and bring in Reso. It would be perfect cause he's "The Captain".

Captain Canada :lol:

I'd prefer he just form team Charisma.

Best of luck to the guy, maybe, just maybe this could be the start of something serious. I don't think it will but just maybe, it might be.

BTW Funky Fly, A1 doesn't wrestle cause he's fucking awful.

I was just looking at trademarks, and "Captain Charisma" isn't taken. "Captain Christian" is, though.

If it turns out I'm wrong, I appologize.

i don't watch TNA, i don't think it' seven on in canada

but if he's not gonna be in WWE, i guess this is the best possible thing for him

let's hope he gets treated better there if he does end up there

You are wrong

Some Indy guy trademarked Captain Charisma

It's not listed on uspto.gov

The reports are interesting, but there's no evidence of an actual trademark.

Next Team Caada question: What is A1's finisher? The Steaksauce Drop?

Oh, how I crack me up. :rofl:

I was pretty sure it was since the WWE didn't make anymore Captain Charisma shirts.

I guess I could be wrong though.

Chris Chin

Chris Chain

ChrisTNA

I still say he should use Chris Tin. He could call the Unprettier the Can Opener. :shifty:

Not to doubt this, but can someone give me the link to where this is on PWinsider, because I can't find it on the site.

Its on Spike on saturdays and mondays in Canada

how about brother christian
the dudleys got away with it

It's called a Pump Handle Slam. But we can give it the name Steaksauce Drop.

Or we could call it One Way to the Unemployment Line. BECAUSE A1 SUCKS!

Canadian Charisma

That was the story going around, which is why I said that Jason should buy/license the name the guy who ownd it. However, there is no actual REGISTERED Trademark, making me wonder if the validity is there.

Well, this should be a great move for TNA. As long as they don't bury him...

How 'bout just Chris Cage, instead of Christian Cage.

If not, just use his real name like someone said above.

Maybe there is no registered trademark, but there might have been a guy using the name before them who said if they moved forward with a trademark attempt he'd contest it, and there may have been enough evidence that he could block it, etc. - so they just dropped it. Just a possibility.

Except they have more money to throw at such an issue than a single person or promotion has. You mean to tell me that the WWE wouldn't fear actual court orders on the ECW trademarks, didn't fear the World Wildlife Fund even after they were sued out of the name, but feared some shmuck with a gimmick (No offense to the guy)?

Chris Charisma :y:

How about "Mr. Charisma" Jay Reso?

or crp.charisma lol

that might piss off crp.kirschner and he would come back as leatherface and kill everybody lol

They could always just spell it differently, like WWE did when Rhino was working for them. I think they could get away with "Khristian" or "Chrystian." Sure it'd be stupid, but at least they could still (kinda) use the name.

Or call him Jack Slandish.

do you guys think tna vs. wwe will ever be like wcw vs. wwf? i hope and pray it will get that good again

^^^I don't. I could see TNA getting a 2.0 on a regular basis but by only aiming at their small portion of the audience they will never reach the level of the WWE.^^^

They could always spell it "Xtian" and then just say Christian.

did bret get rich ?

So yeah, isn't "Christian" allowed now? At least as "Christian Cage", since he used that before WWE?

I have a thread on that, Terran. Post in there to prove Destor equals ratings!

Yeah, I was referring to that exact thread. :)

So THERE! :p

:mad:

No matter the name WWE's loss is TNA's gain.

And that...was a poem...by Mrs. LackaLACK!!

Believe it or not I wasnt intending it to be!

Its Mr. Slack a lack by the way. Just call me the Slack Attack from now on.

I had forgot to but the period after Mr. making it look like lackalack instead of slackalack

Mr., Mrs., what's the diff? Nothing my scissors can't fix...:shifty:

he will be named Vince Reeso, and be some type of higher power in TNA.





:shifty:

Just change his name to "tha RZO"

I got it! Chris Ma!

Call himself Kip Copeland.

J to da Rezzo, my nezzo. Yeay YEAAYYYYY!

Coz that's how I roll, nigga!

Shane S. L. Vincent. Yeah, he has two middle names.



:shifty:

TNA was on in canada here yesterday :love:

if he goes to TNA i'll stop watching WWE and watch TNA :D

I don't think Christian has what they're looking for. Well, he has what they're NOT looking for. Charisma.

TNAWrestling.com is reporting that a HUGE new wrestler will be at Genesis. And over at TNAWrestlingNews.com they say that they can confrim that it is Jay Reso and the only reason that they didn't say Christian by name is that TNA Legal wants to be 100% sure they can use the name Christian. As of right now from what they are reporting, the plan is to use Christian...just plain and simple Christian.

Well, TNA just won $30 from me.
