what do you think about the TNA Heavyweight champion and also the new faction that formed with MVP?
TNA needs to stop with the person running the company having a faction. They been doing it for like 70 years non stop now.
^^ I heard they are changing the name to Total Non Stop Faction
It's pretty much past going downhill for TNA.
Their set looks good now though
--- Scott Norton on being part of the NWO and enhancement talent entering a Hall of Fame
In Your Head Radio with Scott Norton
Hosts: Jack E Jones and One Inch Biceps
Recap by Vic Schiavone
Show available at IYHWrestling.com
What was it like being a part of the NWO? "Being part of that was amazing. The biggest heel team of all time, probably the most popular group of guys ever in pro wrestling, we took that thing to the limits. Nitro was just exploding, wrestling was exploding, it was absolutely the biggest thing in pro wrestling ever. So being a part of it, I was very grateful to be in the right time, right place. We had a great group of guys being around it, being involved in it; absolutely the best part of the business for me here in the states."
What is his opinion of the New England Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame inducting not only guys who were big-name stars but guys that were enhancement talent? "I'm going to tell you something. When you determine guys as enhancement talent, these guys are just as talented or even more talented than the top guys. Some of the enhancement talent guys are so good that they elevate top dudes. Without them, you're sunk. I don't look at guys like that...a lot of guys call them jobbers. That's BS. There are some guys out there that are just unbelievable...I think that's great, and I think it's well-deserved."
Other topics discussed include who gave him the hardest matches he ever had in his career, would he have pursued MMA if it had been bigger when he was in his prime, who came up with the idea of adding him to the NWO, the story behind the incident where Hulk Hogan whipped David Flair during an NWO attack, and more.
---- Vince McMahon ‘Out For Blood’ After Failures, Could Fire Executive Team
Vince McMahon is reportedly planning some big changes for the WWE after a disastrous stretch for the organization that included a failed television contract and a stock price tumble.
Late last week, McMahon was making news when he lost $350 million of his net worth in a single day when the WWE stock dropped 40 percent. The report came on the heels of a renewal of the WWE’s television deal with NBCUniversal that generated much less money than originally anticipated.
The WWE has also been criticized for a roll0out of the WWE Network that many deemed ill-advised. The streaming service came with a $9.99 per month price tag, which Aaron Taube of Business Insider noted was too high:
This logic is extremely flawed. While it’s nice that 52 million households have “affinity” for the WWE, the fact is that only about 5 million people watch the company’s flagship cable show, Monday Night Raw, each week. It stands to reason that people who aren’t watching the company’s free offerings would be unlikely to pay $9.99 monthly for premium content.
The situation and the steady stream of bad news has Vince McMahon furious, Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted:
“One person with a long association with [Vince McMahon] noted to us that the actual losing of the stock money isn’t going to bother him, but that all of the stories in so many of the major business publications and mainstream media that talked about $350 million in losses over one day, and that he’s no longer a billionaire, would drive him crazy.”
Now Vince McMahon appears to be out for blood, insiders say. The WWE’s chairman and CEO is reportedly looking to make big changes within the upper stratus of the organization. PWInsider.com’s Mike Johnson reported that McMahon is ready to “walk into the executive ranks with a sword and off with their heads.”
Johnson noted:
“There are people who have been executives for a number of years and have gotten high level salaries and bonuses who have to be shaking in their boots wondering what is going to happen to me because now I’ve led WWE down this path and Vince McMahon is not a happy man, and as we all know, when Vince is not happy, things are going to happen very quickly.”
But many analysts and industry experts believe Vince McMahon deserves much of the blame for the stretch of bad WWE news. The same brash style that played well in the ring as a wrestling personality also led McMahon to make many statements he could not back, leading to an investigation over whether he misled investors.
The US feuds with Bulgaria?
Who would you like to see as the new Raw General Manager?
Hogan is leading with 42 percent. I would like to see The Coach be general manager again, but I know he's probably busy with ESPN.
