The TNA Thread

I thought TNA deserved it's own thread just when I saw Jeff Hardy enter the Impact! arena-I literally fell out my couch and just when I thought this was new, I find out that this is Jeff Hardy's return...return? This is my first time watching TNA and I have to say I am more intrigued than I ever thought I was. TNA seems more hardcore than WWE currently is but I'm just excited because I barely watched WCW as a kid-I was always a WWF fan. The only thing is just as I said in my thread about Monday Night War's rebirth, TNA needs a bigger arena-you can't look small in from of Raw...what? Ric Flair? I'm sorry-I'll come back after I finish my recording of Impact!.

TNA was better than RAW. RAW was typical and boring. I miss the craziness of the late 90's and TNA delivered. Now if only RVD would sign with them...

I liked Raw like the fanboy I've always been but under a minute playing Impact! on my TiVo-I got goosebumps and Raw didn't, in fact not at all throughout the episode. Bobby Lashley? (I see he's now released), Mick Foley? Kurt Angle? Sting? Jeff Hardy? Hulk Hogan? I can't help think TNA will actually be a threat to WWE and will build an awesome guild.

I'm not fast-forwarding anything-this is so cool. Hulk Hogan is making his entrance now-I know I'm talking like this is live but I might as well for the thread.

Hmmmmm... I wonder who was attacking the TNA people backstage.

Do I need Sherlock Holmes to investigate? Come on, NWO antics! I felt like I was watching a rerun of WCW when the NWO first came about. And that whole situation with Jeff Jarrett and Hogan? Do I really need to go back to when Vince Russo was running WCW and they had the whole Millionaire's Club vs The New Blood and Jarrett layed down for Hogan because Hogan wasn't pushing the younger talent.

It felt like that all over again, just the roles switched.

It was more of the old guard coming back (Nasty Boys? really? really? Orlando Jordan? Val Venis old porn gimmick with the Beautiful People.) then pushing the TNA originals. I switched over to Raw to watch Sheamus against Evan Bourne as soon as I heard it. Granted, the only reason you were excited to see TNA and wasn't bored with TNA was because RAW only had to bring back one person while TNA replicated what they did when WCW first went on the air.

Its going all the way back to the past by bringing back old WWE wrestlers and having them sell their souls because they cant stand what WWE did to them. Yet, in a heart beat, they will go back as soon as the money is big enough for them. Ric Flair was great to see and I love watching a black limo and a white limo parked next to each other and wondering who the hell was in the car. OMG OMG! I Cant Wait!

I really dont want to see Scott Hall's fat ass or X-Pac or even Kevin Nash.

Just show some damn wrestling like Kurt Angle vs AJ Styles... because really, that's about the only damn match worth watching that night. And you seriously couldn't tell they were going to war against RAW since they were mentioning it like every five fucken minutes. WHO CARES! Stop talking and wrestle!




Team Raw.

Team Raw.

But...isn't the clashing a good thing? I mean, it's the rebirth of the Monday Night Wars! Fight, Fight, Fight! I'm not done with the episode but nostalgia is important. When memorable wrestlers make a debut and interact with their rivals and all, you want to know how they feel! You have to have a nice storyline when it comes to these things-this isn't a King of Fighters game (I hope you got that joke).

^ Competition creates and promotes better creativity.

Honestly... RAW has had the 80% of the same blue print since I started watching it again about a year in a half ago, so TNA was a nice change of pace for me. I mean how many times can DX pull these pre recorded joke sessions? I want them to do some cool shit like they use to. I like HBK a lot, but come on'...

I hope TNA moves to Mondays sometime soon, I really do. I may not be as enthusiastic about watching wrestling as much as I was when I was 15, but it's getting to a point where I'm not going to care anymore at all again (like in 2003 or 2004) and play videogames or something on monday after work instead of wasting 2 hours watching raw. I hope they pick up the slack.

News-

Matt Hardy might want to join his brother Jeff and his friend(s) Shannon and potentially Shane Helms in TNA if the WWE would grant him his release.

Again, he could request it as early as 8AM Eastern time, but it's more likely that Matt Hardy would wait until after the Royal Rumble to do so.

Hardy has been adamant about being close to his brother Jeff, and the WWE may block a potential request fearing that once Jeff's year is up in TNA, they might try to reform the Hardyz in the 6 sided ring, rather than have him resign with the WWE.

Matt is scheduled to meet with agents after the Smackdown tapings tonight, and as I said, could be in a meeting tomorrow morning with Helms requesting his release to join Jeff in TNA.

^ I hope. That way the WWE could push other people and TNA gets the Hardyz and friends. It's win, win.

Yes. I also read that Hurricane Helms is asking for a release also.

Good.

Aren't they killing off ECW anyway? Those guys are all good, but barely used.

Yeah that match was good but it had several spots that I thoroughly despise: The Dreaded Last Minute Kickout After Recieving a Finishing Move. This has been used so much in both TNA and WWE (I just watched Shawn Michaels kickout of a Big Show Chokeslam. WTF?! Impossible!) that it is getting rediculous. Why have a finishing move if it is going to be no more "powerful" than an average body slam? They really need to use that spot sparringly because it destroys the credibility of the finishing moves. The crowd wont pop for a finishing move as much because they know the dude will kickout at 2 and 1/2. Look at the past: When Stone Cold hit a mothafucker with the Stunner they were done for 3. There are only two bastards I know who kicked out of the Stunner, The Rock and Kurt Angle and that's it. Next thing you know, Austin will make an appearance on Raw, give Hornswaggle the stunner, and Horny will kickout at 1.

I had heard a rumor that Hogan wanted to get rid of the 6 sided ring. Is that true?

Yep, he's been quoted as saying he doesn't like the way it affects the wrestlers style because of the stiffness of the ropes and it doesn't allow enough rebound.

The rumor is that there's a storyline being worked up where the Six Sided Ring is destroyed and replaced with a fourssided ring over the course of one episode.

Whether that's true or not is unknown, but apparently Hogan has a pretty big disdain for the Six Sided Ring.

So that is true from what I read off WWE's message board-ah, well. I thought it looked cool and a 6 sided ring would have been also.

I'm going to watch my TiVoed TNA's episode after Raw's over...probably on Saturday.

Generation Me vs Motor City Machineguns was awesome , crazy stuff.

So did they get rid of the 6-sided ring? I had heard that Genesis PPV was going to have a 4 sided ring? Any truth to that? So AJ is a heel and a student of the Nature Boy? Interesting.

Yes they did get rid of the ring and it pissed off the fans at the show. They started a "we want six sides" chant at the start of the show. Hogan got some boos too. It seems that the TNA faithful do not like change.

If Hogan and Eric were smart they would use the heat and go full heal. Jerrett Foley, and some of the TNA orginals could be the faces fighting to keep the TNA from becoming WCW 2

Is Hogan keeping himself a face? He should go heel. I think he makes a better heel for some reason. I would be ok with him and BIshoff doing a NWO thing with some of the wrestlers. I kind of like the pairing of AJ Styles and Ric Flair. That could go to some interesting places. Is Taz still a mentor to Samoa Joe?

TNA Updates from Mike Aldren...


Awesome Kong has requested her release following the events of this past
week. She noted to friends that the altercation with Bubba the Love
Sponge at Monday's television taping was the straw that broke the camels
back. She had been unhappy for some time. The company has not responded
to her release request thus far and are hoping that she will change her
mind. "Kong is really disappointed in the fact that this company that
once had class has turned into a paranoid backstabbing contest because
people in management are too worried about keeping their jobs to really
voice their opinions or represent the talent appropriately," said one
source. "They sold all the talent that they were a team [before
Hogan/Bischoff arrived]... but then moved forward without rewarding
anyone, and benched half the original roster on top of that." Regarding
the actual altercation, Kong admitted fault saying she had planned to
give Bubba a piece of her mind due to his remarks on Haiti, but things
quickly got out of hand. She cited lack of sleep, noting that she had
spent her free time last weekend raising funds for the victims of the
earthquake, and was also dealing with the loss of her mentor, wrestling
promoter Ed Chuman. She said delirium took over and she ended up
smacking Bubba instead of talking to him. One of Kong's friends also
noted to us that she is furious with Bubba for ripping her on Howard
Stern, and for attempting to make an angle out of the situation on his
own radio show. She is now back at home pondering her future. She was
originally booked for the upcoming European tour but won't be making
those dates any more.

So how long before TNA is no more or until Hogan and Bischoff are gone?

UPDATE: TNA Wrestler Involved in Affair - Mistress Revealed!
Posted by: Kenny Williams (Wrestling-Radio.com)


UPDATE:

Frankie 'Kaz/Suicide' Kazarian's mistress has been revealed by news reporter Ryan Clark as California based adult film star 'Lela Star'. He reports the affair has been going on for nearly three years.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE:

Wrestling-Radio.com has learned that nude photos of TNA wrestler Frankie Kazarian, who also portrays Suicide in the organization, have been leaked onto the internet. TNAWrestlingNews.com is reporting that this story is "100% legit" and that the photos were sent to them from an unknown source. It also appears that the photos that the photos were recently taken, although the exact date is not yet known.

There is also a rumor that Kazarian may have been involved in an affair that his wife, TNA Knockout Traci Brooks, recently found out about but we must reiterate that this has NOT been confirmed as of yet. Furthermore, a rumor has surfaced that a sex tape of Kazarian and his alleged mistress may be in existence. Kazarian has denied being unfaithful to his wife, while Brooks is said to be trying to piece together any and all details of what supposedly happened.

The website we received this story from has also stated that Traci had changed her last name to "Brooks" from "Brookshaw" and made her official Facebook page private. Brooks also supposedly deleted her and Kazarian's wedding photos. Kazarian, meanwhile, apparently deleted BOTH his official Facebook and MySpace pages sometime earlier this week, but his Facebook page has since resurfaced. This was Kazarian's Facebook status that was posted this past Tuesday:

"Tired, pretty banged up, but had a great tour. Most importantly home with my beautiful wife."


We would like to thank TNAWrestlingNews.com for providing us with this story, and we at Wrestling-Radio.com will continue to keep you updated as we get more details.

TNAWRESTLINGNEWS.COM EXCLUSIVE: ANOTHER 'Kaz' Mistress!
by TNAWrestlingNews.com Staff on 02/06/2010 - 06:09 PM


TNAWrestlingNews.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned that California-based porn star 'Lela Star' is not the only woman Frankie 'Kaz/Suicide' Kazarian has been seeing while dating TNA Knockout Traci Brooks.

As noted yesterday here on TNAWrestlingNews.com, Frankie has been having an ongoing affair with a California based adult star for the past three years which his wife, fellow TNA performer Tracy Brookshaw (a/k/a Traci Brooks), only recently became aware of. The longtime couple got married just a few weeks ago with many of their fellow peers in the wrestling industry in attendance. Traci is still trying to figure out the details of what went on. We can confirm that she has called the person in question to confront her about the situation. A sex tape also apparently exists.

TNAWrestlingNews.com has now learned that Frankie has been seeing a stripper based out of Tampa, FL. We are going to withhold her name due to privacy issues but we're told she works at Scarlett's (a strip bar) in the Tampa, FL area. TNAWrestlingNews.com has also EXCLUSIVELY learned that Frankie was with her in mid-late January. He was also with her during the first weekend of December. According to our source, "his wife was out of town and they could be alone."

Story developing.... stay tuned to TNAWrestlingNews.com.

Maybe they're not releasing the name because they fucked up on the first one by not notifying her of this "storyline"

I went to the twitter feeds and decided to ask Lela Star herself since im following her... dont ask.

MilDollarGeek: @MizzLelaStar Did you or did you not sleep with TNA wrestler Frankie Kazarian? Im a TNA fan figuring out the truth or fake storyline.

she responded back to me with...

MizzLelaStar: @MilDollarGeek Yez errr cuban made http://yfrog.com/3ijnjsj No I did not I don't even know who he is.

Figure TNA is gonna get a lot of Kaz fans pissed off at him. She could be denying it, but tnawrestlingnews already said she posted his pictures. I believe I could do the same thing by myself and send it to my wife who will then send them to the cheapest bidder of a rumor article.

Hmmm.... Then who did have sex with Kaz? lol

EDIT: Would it be in bad taste to make an ad for a fake Kaz porn at the end of my first column? I was thinking it would either be called Swingin' With Suicide or Suicide is Sexy.
