WWE plan to crush TNA
--From TroughOfMantaur at the DVDR board via this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter,
--Johnny Ace has been given word from the top to sign anybody TNA is interested in, even if it is guys the E just recently cut. Some office workers have been told the idea is to sign them with lengthy no-compete clauses, then bury them so that by the time they can go to TNA, they are damaged goods. Dave says management see this as a possible pivotal year for TNA, and doesn't particularly want them to become legit competition. THE OPTIMISTS!

well, i think wrestling and the internet are very tied together, so if i were a wrestler, or at least a modern era wrestler with some talent, i'd check wrestling sites daily to see what the rumors are, run into this one, and be well aware of the WWE's plot and tell 'em to fuck themselves when they came to me with a deal. So if anybody signs with the WWE after reading that, they are doing it for the sole purpose of the money, not to better their career and name. At least, thats my opinion.

I really don't see the point in burying talent. If they sign with the WWE, then they are WWE Superstars, not TNA wrestlers. I swear, if they sign Bryan Danielson and make him job to Hardcore Holly, I will be pissed off at the WWE. I honestly believe that if you're spending money on guys, it should be used to make them look great, not bad. Jamie Noble has been actually doing alright in the WWE. He's getting the "Kazarian push", where he wins all the time, but in matches most people don't know about. |

It goes like this: I don't want them, but I don't want you to have them either. Vince doesn't want to bow to the fans, but if someone else provides an alternative, he'd have to. IMO, this is stupid, since TNA's not close to a viable competition. |

The best way to crush TNA is to just ignore it, i mean i dont see WWE stressing everynight on its show "ONLY on TNA will you get this action"....it has a six sided ring.....and TWO divisions....sounds to me like there just trying to hard still

If Vince's product is so great then why would he fear competition?

If I'm one of those buried guys, I'd try to take it as getting paid for doing nothing... assuming they're actually paying me.
Either that, or if I know about this, I say screw the WWE and sign with TNA anyway. After all, the WWE can't force "free agents" to sign with them. |

Hopefully some of the free agents out there realize what WWE is doing, and will make the decision not to sign into one of their damn no-compete clause contracts. They already have Haas, London and Kendrick - maybe Benoit and Heyman soon too. |

If this is true, it's simply good business strategy. I don't see a problem with it. The WWE makes the big bucks for a reason.

This isn't why they make the "big bucks." In fact, they're hard pressed to really be called successful. how a company this large can flounder so bad is beyond me. |

What makes you assume that TNA will take them all? And if TNA use them the way they should be used then how is that a bad thing? Yeah Vince buying TNA will be great for wrestling. Competition sucks. |

TNA should pretend to be interested in CZW guys like Mondo so WWE could quickly sign them. LOL
Actually, this is a smart move but it's fucked up and dick. However, wrestlers aren't morons either...word spreads to them first than it does on the internet imo with backstage talk amongst wrestlers. |

You know what'd be good business? Putting on a show people wanted to watch.

Yes it would be good. It doesn't mean this isn't a smart strategy as well. Not for his products sake, but for the sake of TNA's failure.

Y'know, this rumour could have been started by TNA to discourage guys from signing with WWE.

It is smart business but it's dumb too. Can't say I fault the WWE for doing this but I really can't condone this practice. It'll come back to haunt them one of these days.
