TNA Changing Forver....Yeah, Right...
 

I doubt I'll be shocked. Although, I'd love to be wrong.

Nah, you're right. Noone will be shocked.

Even less will care.

I am going to change your thread title if you do not mind. I was abou to make this same thread as I couldn't tell what yours was about. But I had just clicked on yours just to make sure

yea, we've heard this 10 times over this year. Not really excited

I wanna watch this, just to see another ultimate FAIL.

TNA "changes forever" every other week:nono:

ROH will invade and destroy the ring, lead by Christopher Daniels.

Wouldn't hate it, to be honest. Complete nXtWo rip off but if that were it I'd let it slide.

The only thing to me that could be truly shocking for TNA is if Batista defected from the WWE and joined them at Slammiversary. That literally could be the only thing that would shock me.

It's all good man. I'd love to be wrong, but I doubt and care so little that I'm not going to tune in or even read the spoilers. Unless it get's some major press from the IWC, non-TNA marks.

Jim Ross

TNA needs to do something so big that it gets non-fans and former fans (the most important fans at this point) talking. Not Monday Night Wars 2 big (before it happened), but even bigger.

Something that would turn the wrestling world upside down.

Short of bringing Vince McMahon himself on-screen with a stable of The Rock, Triple H, Steve Austin, John Cena and The Undertaker, and booked by the WWE creative team lead by Paul Heyman, it ain't happening.

Vince McMahon buys TNA and TNA allies with NXT in a fued with WWE.

TNXTA

WWE Squashes the alliance and then TNA ends up on SyFy Tuesday Nights.

Tuesday Night Action, only on SyFy

Hmm lets see who's no compete clause is expired?

Can't be Ross because he signed with WWE. He can do anything but wrestling - MMA (probably not UFC though), football, etc.

I think Batista's contract runs through July or August.

Has Dixie thought that by building it up like this, she's setting herself up for a major disappointment for the fans? Shock value comes from not knowing something big is coming at all, that's what makes something truly shocking IMO.

Moving to Monday nights..... oh wait... they already did that......

They think "shock value" is hotshotting the title to someone everyone loves and then dropping the ball in terms of momentum after the event.

WE'RE MOVING TO TUESDAY NIGHTS! WE'RE GONNA START A TUESDAY NIGHT WAR!

NXT! WE'RE COMIN' FOR YOU, NIGGA!

Noo, they have stolen an even bigger star...

Definitely will have to be an ex-WWE guy/gal but even the Mickie James/Shelton Benjamin crew are within their 90 day no-compete period.

It's a goldberg heel turn!

lol Vol

Russo publicly humiliated and shot out of a cannon, and Shane O Mac named the new head writer. That'd get my attention, to say the least.

no way it's some mid card WWE guy/gal. TNA is pretty dumb, but I don't think they would be that dumb with an annoucement like this. got to be some kind of other thing that's not a particular wrestler

So are you being sarcastic or just finding out about TNA?

:lol: I don't know why but that made me laugh.

lol I know they are idiots, but no way she sends this text out and they deliver fucking Shelton Benjamin.

remember way back in early 2001 to the announcement that would CHANGE ECW FOREVER!!!11!1!!

it was rvd returning

I'm going to make my prediction here and say that it's going to be something regarding format, or the actual nature of their product that will be the absolute nail in the coffin for them.
It will be some ridiculous concept like not having a ring, or having it be in a cage like UFC or something.

Kind of going out on a limb, but I can see TNA being desperate enough to fuck with the product this badly. They seem to be crazy enough to do something like that, and move completely away from wrestling.
I think I've even heard Bischoff throw around ideas like that somewhere before.

They're either:

A. bringing back the 6-sided ring
B. Debuting the 8-sided ring
C. Bringing back Awesome Kong for a One-Night Bra and Panties match with Rosie Lottalove.

It would actually be hilarious to see them start throwing shit against the wall hoping it will stick, in a last blaze of trainwreck glory before the end.
Doing away with the ring, getting rid of all titles, etc.

Allowing fans to vote on who is champion, rather than who gets a title shot, would be wonderful

They should do a contest where a group of 10 people from the IWC get to book a month's worth of TNA shows. The best script gets put on TV, untouched.

I've actually considered a promotion booked entirely by the IWC. Like fans write in whatever direction they should take with a character or who should win a match. The entire show being a community effort. I don't think it could work legit, but it would be fun.

Hype can work, too, but even if it's a big surprise, it'll probably be diminished by the use of the same trick for everything TNA's ever done.

going the way of wcw: starting over from scratch

As funny and crazy as all of those ideas are, sadly, I wouldn't put any of it past them. I wonder if they actually realized how bad they've fucked themselves over lately, or if they're in denial.

I expect this is a 3 Count reunion, with Mike Knox playing the role of Tank Abbott and Jeff Hardy replacing Evan Karagias. They will perform Jeff's new song and announce they will be doing so after every match on every episode of TNA Impact, changing the company forever or something.

It would be fun. Hell, I'd participate most likely.

At this point they just want anyone to tune in. I don't think they are thinking far enough ahead to worry about whether they piss them off or not.
They should promise free Ice Cream if it means getting people to watch Impact now. Honestly, interest was never very high, but ever since the move back to thursdays with their tail between their legs, it just seems like they've crawled under the porch to die.
