TNA may be dipping into the 90s well again as there has been much talk of starting a faction consisting of former ECW wrestlers.
ECW alumni presently on the roster include Rob Van Dam, Brother Ray, Brother Devon, Rhino, Raven, Dr. Stevie and Taz. Also, the former Spike Dudley worked an episode of iMPACT! a few weeks ago not to mention that Tommy Dreamer has been rumored to join the promotion as an on-air performer.

Fantastic. :|

lol ECW under Bischoff.

The Extreme Invaders, or some shit like that

They should just start a stable called "The 90s".

It'd be bigger than the nWo. In terms of ratio of 90s guys to TNA guys.

Hardcore Hak is returning!

Not a single one of them is worth airtime at this point, aside from RVD and maybe the Dudleys.

Bringing in Dreamer is alright. I was good with him on WWE tv up until he left, so I can't really say he has no business on tv anymore. It's just that in that capacity he was under the banner of the ECW brand name, and being pushed as a likeable veteran who still had fight left in him.

I expect them to debut him as if he were The Rock

i remember that popular faction in the 90's that consisted of old ecw alumni

"The Gang"

Seems like TNA debuts absolutely everyone that comes into the company with the same level of importance.

For example, Jeff Hardy and RVD are huge signings. Val Venis, Orlando Jordan, Shannon Moore and other examples aren't.
Yet they all seem to get a similar reaction to their entrance. It's like they're just so happy to be signing anyone that they put it out there as a smark event, and don't create a scale of importance.

The same goes for Nigel debuting in TNA as if it were just as important as Jeff Hardy showing up

I said a while ago that TNA had more ECW alumnus than ECW the Brand probably ever had after the first 6 months.

lol if they do this and they get ECW chants outshining the TNA chants.

Wonder if they can get "Marcus Cor Von" and Kevin Thorn.

nice post count droford, 4444

Colin Delaney vs Mikey Whipwreck.

i guess in a way kurt angle is an ecw alumnus too....

Instead of getting Heyman, they could have a guy with a ball cap and pony tail be shot from the back in an office discussing plans with the ECW alums.

that kind of happened at tna hardcore war 2006 in the ecw arena

i'd say it was about 65% ecw chants 35% tna

They should just get a guy with a huge ass early 90's cell phone and call him Bob E Hazardously

Well since Cor Von was from TNA in the first place, Im pretty sure he would just be TNAs Monty Brown

That was before he went to WWE, though. Now that he has been in WWE, if he goes to TNA, he has to get a rip-off of his WWE name.

Markus Corvin.

EWCW

"The Extremers"

If it brings in Paul Heyman then I'm all for it.

If anything though, it will probably make him stay further away.

And then they all join punk's stable.

or it would be like when i was a kid and i purposely used to make a hash job of washing the dishes until my mom used to say " you're doing it wrong, oh forget it i'll just do it myself "

Yeah, I don't think Heyman is that stupid.

Heyman won't be going to TNA for a looooooong time, if ever. Right now, he doesn't need wrestling. And I'm sure he would never work under Bischoff and Hogan.

Perez E. Hilton

CM Punk should join the SeS

They just need to get the Iron Sheikh back!

TNA is the Dung Beetle to WWE's shit.

If JR jumps ship I don't know what I'd do. JR and WWE go together like America and apple pie. Don't be a doucher jr.

apple pie?

that is a proper saying, yes?

i don't know, do the americans like apple pie over every other dessert ?

We're supposed to, yes.

Heyman should only go to TNA if he gets complete creative control.

If Heyman was booking that show, and JR was calling it, chances are I would be quite inclined to watch every week. The roster is there. The problems are with the writing and the promotion of events. Heyman and JR lend infinite amounts of cred to each respectively
