Everyone happy now?

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No way this will outdraw the cast of the time traveling hot tub movie.

RVD: I'm here on a one day deal. Just want to say fuck you Hogan, I'm not falling for this shit. If I wanted to be buried I'd have gone back to Vince.

Will be interesting to see where he fits in...already a ton of names wrapped up in feuds. I can see Hogan saying he has a replacement for his match on Monday and it turns out to be RVD.

Just a thought

I wouldn't mind seeing RVD vs Styles

One more reason for me not to watch TNA.

Is RVD a channel changer?
 

Not being a douche, I love RVD. I just wanted to get your opinions as to whether his return after being away would be enough to put WWE on notice and lay the foundation for TNA to legitimately challenge WWE for the long term and not just necessarily this year.

Hang on, why is this a bad thing now? Or are you guys just being typical negative internet fans?

doubt it

I'll be tuning in that's for sure.

I read the other thread and thought I might like to see RVD...then I remembered The Nasty Boys and I'm not even going to bother.

Really? I mean, it's not like you don't deal with the crap segments and wrestlers in WWE in order to watch the stuff you're interested in on Raw/Smackdown/NXT/Superstars.

Meaningful and well booked angles are a channel changer...I could care less if its RVD, Hogan, or SCSA, if you're making it gibberish, then I'm not watching.

Nasty Boys, bro.

Also, nothing on NXT has been crap up to this point. Nothing at all.

Touché

I know. Just included it for argument's sake.

Holy shit. Thought he was a WWE for lifer.

Yeah I will tune in ... me and my bro watch online streams so I'll put up a Raw feed and he will do TNA and we will watch them both until TNA is too distracting. Fuck its Wrestlemania month who cares about anything else?

Yeah the matches are unlimited... AJ, Daniels, Abyss, Wolf, Angle, Lethal, Joe... good move TNA

RVD ROCKS!!! THE WHOLE F'N SHOW!!!

Big signing although I was never an RVD fan.

You'd think we would know by now that no one man in TNA is a tide-changer. Not Christian, Angle, Nash, Hogan, Bischoff, and it won't be RVD.

Ultimately being on Monday will be the biggest factor for TNA. After that it's going to be up to them with booking and star power. That's where RVD comes in. They need to use recognizeable faces to draw viewers to their program on what is the largest night of the week in terms of the wrestling audience. People don't like what's happening on Raw, they flip over and see RVD and A.J. That's how they will build a new audience. It will not happen in one or two episodes either.

Yes, the Nasty Boys need to go.

RVD is a channel changer to WWE for me.

He might be a channel changer to TNA for some. I think that if TNA was on Monday's back when they had Christian, or Angle on the top, they would have been big channel changers.

Being on a different day though, it wasn't a matter of "channel changing", but a matter of "Watching more wrestling on another day".

I was never a huge RVD fan. I know I am in the minority here, so RVD is not a channel changer at all.

Well, wait. I will be DVRing TNA on monday, so I guess he is? I won't be switching to TNA live at all.

I have been so iffy on TNA's new direction in the last month. Since January I feel like the product has regressed instead of progressed. However... lets just be dead honest...

Your a 13 year old kid who isn't a member of the IWC... you've been watching for a few years... Raw is on and it goes to commerical. So instead of watching that you flip around. You are bound to eventually land on Impact, right?

If on Impact! you see some guys you grew up watching like Angle, Hogan, Flair, RVD, Jeff Hardy, Foley, Jarrett, Kennedy.... etc...

Don't you think that you might stick it out for a few minutes to see what it's all about?

All it takes is five minutes to get a rating point from a viewer.

WWE is on top of the game now, best they have been in a LONG time. But it won't last forever, it never does. And even though it is pretty grand right now, there are still shit parts. I would much rather watch any one of the guys mentioned above than a WWE Diva's or Women's division match. I'd rather watch those guys than Chavo, or Carlito, or Masters, or Shelton, or any of the guys WWE has floating around for 3 minutes on Raw.

I think within five or six months TNA will be hitting in the high 2's... it's just logical.

The only way it will happen though is good booking.

The reason we switched from Savio Vega vs Yokozuna, or The Smoking Guns vs The Godwins, or Bob Holly vs Aldo Montoya is because WCW was using Kevin Nash and Scott Hall in ways we never though possible.

Hogan could pull this off, he needs to reach way back into the memory banks... think back to how he was booked in AWA. Genius. Fucking glorious booking that made Wrestling what it is today. I am sorry Vince but you only sold Hulkamania to the masses, Verne Gange and Hulk Hogan created Hulkamania.

Eric needs to focus on what he does best. Search everywhere else, ROH, Dragon Gate, New Japan, All Japan, Noah, CMLL, AAA, UFC, Bischoff is an idea theaft.

NWO was an angle in New Japan before it was in WCW.

Eric needs to be smart and steal from the most creative just like he did from Paul Heyman and NJPW (Inoki was probably the booker I think?).

So whats getting the real wrestling fans hot? Great wrestling. We all love great matches, and realistic shoot style angles that make even us say "Was the supposed to happen?".

I know they could do it. I don't have too much faith in them to pull it off in the long term however.

I think its a good thing...it is funny though, RVD is like 40 and I guess they are getting younger. I'm interested in seeing what happens.

Channel changer for me? No. But I'm interested and will go out of my to watch the segment as long as I don't hear it's retarded.

That's assuming I can't find a TNA stream, because I will be watching live if I can, with RAW on my tv.

I agree with this 100%.

I said in the other RVD thread, I will not be changing the channel, but it is a nice step for TNA because most wrestling fans are RVD fans.

Seriously, who in the fuck finds these guys entertaining?

There are always morons in the Impact Zone with Nasty Boys shirts on hard camera side.
