Rhino and Runt Turn Down WWE's Offer...

I hope he's just lying to reassure management. Rhino was the last ECW World and Television Champion. They need him....

DAMN TNA!!!

ALSO:

lol

they're gonna really have to develop new stars fast...

Where O Where did my little bridge go? O Where O Where could it be?

Poor decision by Rhino. He could have been the biggest heel on the ECW roster.

I think I see it floating down the river in flames.

LOL. Anyone wanna bet "Runt" was never contacted?

It was one of them fake contracts you hear about all the time.

Seriously, does that mean the Dudleys are returning? Because, come on, if Runt was contacted, SURELY 3D was.

Unless he's a big fat liar.

Well it could be possible that runt isn't under contract, like Shannon Moore.

Made sense for Rhino.

Easier schedule regardless. Plus this new ECW is only an experiment for the most part.

Meh, Rhino has become lazy in the past years. And with only one hour of TV time Spike wouldn't be very useful.

I would, however, like to see Haymen continue to creat Dudleys. Just to mock Bubba, D-Von, and Spike. It's not like he cant.

Then maybe the fans who don't know where Bubba, D-Von and Spike are will look around and find them...

"Speaking of the Dudleys, where are Bubba and D-Von?"

That would be good for TNA.

I don't care about that shit. It would be a a personal attack on them, I couldn't give a fuck about ratings.

Oh wee! He made a "personal attack" by creating new Dudleys! :lol: It just makes little sense when it comes to business, whether you care about that or not.

I suppose you can join the WWECW fantasy league.

And you think Bubba wouldn't respond?

At least the wrestlers will be getting paid this time.

Exactly dumb fuck. It's not like I said it should happen, just that I would enjoy the 'fuck you' of it all. Jesus it's not like everything has to be serious. And lets not forget, Bubba wasn't one of the origional Dudleys.

Oh, so it was indeed gay fantasy league wrestling stuff? I see...

Also, where did you get that Rhino has become lazy? Or is it just something you pulled out of your ass because he chose not to go to WWECW? Just asking...

And it's not like they can't Vince does own the rights to the Dudley name, So if they wanted to create a whole new breed of Dudleys they could.

Have you not been watching? His work ethic has seriously declined. Compare 1999-2001 Rhino to current Rhino, than tell me he is still a hard worker. And yeah I said something I would like to see, as opposed to something I actually think will happen. Then you sapzzed saying it will never, of course it wont. But it would be awesome considering the copious amount of horse shit 'Brother Ray' has been spitting out on iMPACT!

Maybe it's just who he's now working with (better wrestlers), but he's looked a helluva lot better since leaving WWE...

So... working with better wrestlers (allegedly, I would say the better wrestler is the guy more people would pay money to see,) would decrease your work ethic? Explain that.

You haven't explained to me how he has a "bad work ethic". Until you do that, then you don't need an explanation...

And if you don't know the difference between someone who can actually move in the ring and a stiff with a good look (see: most WWE wrestlers), and how a good wrestler can make a bad/decent wrestler look better, then it's obviously a you problem...

Not to mention that you're comparing a 25 year old Rhino to a 31 year old Rhino...

Really didn't think this wold need explaining, considering how clear it is but o.k. Good work ethic in a wrestling can be defined many ways, but one is universally true: how hard do you work once your blown up. Do you keep going all out, or do you just coast until the finish. Unless Rhino never pick up the pace at all, he does the latter.

Yeah because Lord knows if I don't think every TNA wrestler is flawless I clearly have a problem.

Your just helping my argument as to why ECW doesn't need him. ECW needs to be about the now and the next, not the thens and should've beens (TNA.)

I'd phone in matches if they gave me a week long title run

Ain't that the truth.

Wow. I can imagine this conversation.

Management: So Vince and Heyman offered you a new contract.
Rhino: Yeah, I'm really kinda excited about it, I've actually missed ECW.
Management: You do know that Paul Heyman is actually GAY right?
Rhino: Huh?
Management: Oh yeah, he's a huge peterpuffer.
Rhino: O RLY?
Management: Being around Homos turns you gay too, you know that?
Rhino: I AIN'T NO QUEER!
Management: Woah, slow down R-Train. Relax. Look, I'll make you a deal.
Rhino: What exactly would that be?
Management: If you go out and publicly turn down the WWE/ECW contract...
Rhino: Yeah... *grimace*
Management: First, we'll make Jarrett job to you-
Rhino: Clean?!
Management: Uh, sure... Second of all, after the PPV you'll get-
Rhino: Number 1 Contender?
Management: Sure. Something like that. NWA title is much better than ECW.
Rhino: Well it has a legacy.
Management: Well that... and you won't be rememberd as the last Champion of the Homos.
Rhino: ... So Cleanly you say?

Your apparent hate for TNA is showing. Not all TNA wrestlers are good workers; but on average, a TNA wrestler is most likely to be a better worker than a WWE wrestler. And all you have to do is watch the matches to see that.

So if that's the case, why do they need Big Slow, Sabu, Balls Mahoney, Justin Credible, Tommy Dreamer, Taz, Jazz, Sandman, Little Guido, Danny Doring, Road Kill, Francine, CW Anderson, Axl Rotten [though he may be out], Terry Funk, etc.?

Sure sounds like a bunch of thens and never would've beens to me...

Aside from needing a handful of former ECW talent to get the old ECW audience on board, I've got to completely agree with you. Except for the Big Show, he's a going to be. The guy will become what he always was supposed to be under Heyman's wing.

And yeah TNA sucks twice as much ass as the WWE, and Vince sucks a lot of ass in his own right. You want good wrestling go to OVW or RoH. Those are really your only two options in American wrestling today, though soon ECW will hopefully be among those ranks.

ECW is WWE. Some of you are probably in for a rude awakening pretty soon.

I wonder how long before Vince is shown every week on Sci-Fi...

First it was, "the better wrestler is the guy more people would pay money to see" and now it's "the better wrestling is in OVW and ROH". Yeah, I'm sure more people would pay money to see them...:?:

i thought it was kind of odd when it was said he was going to the ecw, i heard he was in a kind of klick with cage and team 3d where they were all hanging out togather, an he had a pretty good push in tna.

That's what we all are waiting to see. Last year before ONS EVERYONE said the same thing."ONS will be a watered down version of ECW, full of WWE BS." Yet they ALL were marking their asses out for borderline the entire show, The all said the Hardcore Heaven show was the one to watch because of no WWE influence, yeah, they were wrong. We'll see how wrong the net is in a weeks time.

The better wrestler is the guy who the most people will pay to see. Period, not even debatable, wresting is a business, the goal is to make the promoter as much money as possible. But my money goes to OVW. I enjoy the product more. But no one there is in John Cena's league. Fact. Just because I like something more, doesn't mean it's superior.

Wow, weren't you just saying that you don't care about all of that?

You must be the King of Cognitive Dissonance. All Hail...

Uhoh...K...K...K...

For some reason, I don't think Matt Hyson (is that Brother Runt's real name?) was actually contacted by the WWE. If he were, I actually think he'd be put on SmackDown! to help the dying Cruiserweight Division. I am aware the WWE doesn't give two shits about the division, but they need faces to throw at Gregory Helms and fast.

If I were Rhyno, I'd have chosen the WWE. Huge exposure, probably a main event feud with Rob Van Dam over the ECW Title (which Rhyno never lost) and another chance to build the legacy that looked within reach for Rhino until he injured his neck and the WWE fucked his push up. With Heyman behind him, Rhyno would likely find himself eventually on the RAW or SmackDown! roster Goring his way through main eventers. I'm serious, Rhyno has the potential to be huge.

Hopefully he only said that he turned down the WWE's offer under Heyman's advice, so when Rhyno does appear and Gores the fuck out of somewhere, it is a huge surprise. I hope TNA does grow as a company, but they aren't going to do it with Rhino. Christian Cage is their current "former WWE Superstar" toy. I don't see that ending anytime soon. Especially since they can get one of their own over, in Bobby Roode going over Rhino at two seperate PPVs.

I'm still expecting the Man Beast to be scouting either RVD or Sabu for The Gore on ECW TV one night soon.

No, I wasn't. I was actually saying the exact opposite.

According to PWInsider.com, per a hotline, Matt Hyson [unbenounced to TNA apparently] tore up a legitamate one time only $3,000 contract. Mike Johnson said that he actually saw the contract.

Spike was supposed to be a surprise to show up on ECW One Night Stand to take on Big Show [and do the job].

Apparently, Spike says he didn't want to be a part of One Night Stand last year and felt disrepected.

LOL thats why I don't watch TNA. All these petty swipes at WWE make them look like little kids crying over spilt milk.

The only people from TNA I would like to see in WWE are Rhino, Raven and Samoa Joe. Thats it.

3000 bucks to job to big show, an look bad for the company he is working for now, good thinking vince.

There are good people in TNA, but the promotion is shitty. It's not all petty shit to trash WWE, but there's some baaaaaad booking and worthless wrestlers that really tank TNA IMO.
