Jarrett Talks With Rock

-- There are reports that Jeff Jarrett of TNA has contacted The Rock about making an appearance for TNA in the near future. Apparently, The Rock was open to the idea but did not want to get into negotiations until the promotional tour for his latest movie, "Be Cool," is complete.

------------------------------------

Wow. Take this as basically nothing, but I just find it surprising that Rock didn't turn it down right away as I thought he would. At least he's willing to hear Jarrett out and that's pretty cool.

Interesting.,

He's just using this to get some attention from the WWE.

I'd imagine so, but it's gotta be a pretty effective way. The WWE has no reason to fear TNA right now, but appearances from one of the BIGGEST names in the WWE mightmake them sweat a little. I mean, it won't turn TNA into an instant success, but the Rock back in wrestling for anything...That would get a lot of people going...

Hmmmm, so much for the WWE being home to him again. :roll:

I think you might want to wait until after the theater's on fire.

Doesn't WWE own the trademark 'The Rock'? What the hell are they going to call him on TNA? Dwayne Johnston.... shudder

The day that The Rock goes to TNA is the day HHH says, "Hey, that guy Jericho is really good. I'd like to make him into a star."

I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that Dwayne Johnson owns the name "The Rock."

Turner signed a no compete clause, that I think runs out either this year, or within the next few years. If he really wanted to, he could buy TNA out then, but don't hold your breathe. The Rock would be a major deal for TNA though, even if for just a one time appearance.

*crosses fingers* for the love of god, PLEASE DO!

:drool:

The big question is not whether Rock's one or two appearances will be enough to draw fans to TNA (that's pretty much inevitable), but whether they can build on this and maintain high audience figures once he's gone.

This would be something. If Rock went to TNA, then TNA would have a huge popular star that is still worth a damn, unlike Hogan or Savage or Nash or anyone else that has passed through there.

The Rock is the #1 guy TNA needs to turn the company around. I don't see it happening, but it'd be incredible if it did.

I don't see it happening. IF it does, I'll be p*ssed because I don't get TNA:(

when did you get unbanned?

I was never banned. I just didn't post anything for a while.

Let's not start shit again, and let this be a normal thread.

Nice fix naitch.

Yeah, I'd so want to go back to a home that didn't bother contacting me for a new contract despite being their biggest star.

The Rock is Johnson's now. He "licensed" it.

I'm not sure the Rock alone could turn TNA into a legit threat, but it'd be a nice start.

Turner will be back this or next year (I can't remember which) if he comes back at all. That's when the no compete clause ends...This year or next. The Rock would be a HUGE coup...

LOL You don't need to censor "pissed."

This is what the wrestling industry needs...

TNA should get some sort of primetime slot first

And if Rock does go to TNA, he better not become The People's Jobber

TNA should try to get a slot on Spike TV... :-\ that is if Raw goes to USA.

LOL, you know it.

But then again, no need to turn "TNA" around right now. ;)

Hecks Yeah, between OUR World Champion MVP and THE VBX Champion James Steele, TNA is in a state of perfection not seen since Curt Henning threw and caught his own pass.

:lol:

I don't think it is Trademark to the WWE. If the Rock quit WWE today he would still be able to use his Rock name. At least that's what I heard.

Rock doesn't work for WWE anymore and still uses the name Rock :)

lol Remy is on fire today
