where you off to and what time does it kick off

Silly question maybe, but are TNA tickets for Manchester in January as cheap as they are going to get?

daily star doing wrestling shocker

Have to say I find it quite amusing that CM Punk as a heel is telling fans to stop smoking, stop binge-drinking and to be aware of the dangers of addiction to pain-killers.



Does it maybe say something about the WWE and the American culture when a supposed 'bad guy' is giving these messages out to kids only to be shot down by the faces?

end of the day cm punk is a roll model to all fans

and the choice of a new generation

Those of you that read this thread a few months back, I said that Cena vs The Rock would be the headline event at the next Wrestlemania.



I've now been told, that the contract signing is imminently due.

OMG what an overhyped match that would be.

Who by, Vince himself?



You sure you don't mean you've looked at the front cover of PWI which always comes up with unsubstantiated rubbish?





Taker vs Cena looks very likely to me.

Sure, you don't have to believe me and you have every right to be skeptical but we'll see come April time.





By the way, I don't read or buy wrestling magazines/websites etc. I know some guys who work for WWE, that is all. Although I'm pretty sure those publications won't have mentioned that the process will officially start on TV when he hosts Raw come January/February

Hi mate. Really sorry only just replying, stayed off here the last few days so didn't spoil Survivor Series for myself. Was NGW on Longhill, absolutely brilliant show. Sorry again.

Not my fault you must take no notice of posters.

Oh... My ... God.



Even for Hogan, [url=http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/tna/5083.htmlthis[/url is a bit disillusioned.

Hey there's a show in Hessle this Sunday though by the way.

Good old Terry! Still I hope he comes over for the TNA tour of England next month. Never seen the Hulkster in the flesh, Brother.

what a complete arrogant tool lol

Mostly, the interview with Hogan is his usual self-agrandising, however his answer to the question

[iHulk, if there was one thing you could change about the wrestling industry at this point in time what would it be? How will Hulk Hogan revolutionize the wrestling industry yet again?

[/i

Well, the one thing I would change and I'm going to change is..I hate the writers. I cannot stand that they have a writing team sitting in the back telling the wrestlers what to say and telling the wrestlers what to do in the ring. That's one of the reasons why I went to TNA because the other promotion that's what they're all about - scripting the verbiage and scripting the matches and telling the wrestlers what to do. They have a team of writers in the back that don't understand this business, that have never been to the big show, that have never been in the big main events. All the writers are either wrestlers that are midcard wrestlers or they were family members that were handed a pen and paper and told, "You've learned what you've learned from our family now keep writing". They've never learned the wrestling business from being in the middle of the ring in the main event in front of 20, 30, 40, 90 thousand people.





if what he means by that is that promos will be less scripted and more on the fly then i'm all for it. one of the big problems with wwe at the moment is the over scripting of the promos. the guys aren't allowed to be themselves like they used to be when you had guys like Foley, Austin and Rock. it's just the same cookie cutter promo from every guy



Also, I loved the bit about Austin just ignoring him. I think that's mainly due to a simple thing: Austin doesn't NEED to wrestle any more. He made his money during his hot period and had that wisely invested. Unlike Hogan who has an ex wife to pay for, a talentless daughter's "singing" career to bank roll and a son who can't drive and thinks he's a driver (side note Nick Hogan had another crash recently, and the irony is he was coming home from a safe driving talk



)

Can't see it unfortunately mate, don't think he's been over for any UK tour since a WWF one in 1993!

get in seen myself on telly when there brining out hatton at the start

The fact that TNA feel the need to bring him in, shows the state that TNA is in. Its not a threat to WWE. Never has been. Never will be.

think youir wrong there with hulk coming in it has risen the profile of tna

Why? Do you think people didnt already know about TNA but now Hogan is there they do?



Surely the same thing was being said when Foley went to TNA. Granted, your average joe blogs will know who hogan is more than foley, but its still not going to make him want to watch it.



I mean, just before WWE bought WCW, WCW was in a right mess. Why? Because the wrestlers were left to their own devices when it comes to promos. They had to make their own up and it was car crash TV and this is what Hogan wants to do again? The guy has lost the plot. I think Im right in saying that only one man in WWE was allowed full control over his promos and that was the rock. But he could because he was just so good at it.



There is only one way TNA will be able to compete with WWE and that is buy unearthing someone or somebodies, with the Charisma and originality that make people want to watch it, in the same way WCW did with NWO. Only your hardcore fans watch wrestling for the moves and the wrestling ability. The majority of "fans" prefer the soap opera element.

where is your facts that tna are allowing hulk to do what he likes



and wcw failed cause it let every big superstar run there storys
