Nasty Boys?

That black dude with the beads on his braids

When he was on the liveshow with his TNA tat I was thinking "This mark probably works for free." Funniest part is he gets more tv time than Rhyno, MCMG, LethalConsequences, & Amazing Red combined. You can pretty much throw Samoa Joe in that mix as of late. Damn shame

[therenegade23]

Since they brought back the Nasty Boys. Why isn't the Mouth of the South Jimmy Hart?

 

[antoekneeo]

That "mark" your referring to I believe is Dangelo Dinero aka Elijah Burke, who is a better in the ring and on the mic than all the guys you listed.BTW fans of the WWE who live in the Bay Area, WWE makes it return to the legendary Cow Palace in SF on March 14th for the "Road to Wrestlemania"supershow. It's been over 5 years I believe since the last time WWE came to SF. Not a big fan of WWE anymore, but tickets go sale this Saturday.

Now Dineros my boy and my top 5 favorite TNA wrestlers rite now maybe even top 3 but i think thats kind of pushing it

i just finished watching the end of TNA !+% was up w/ that fake ##*Bret Hart ending

ridiculous... *sigh* i still aint gunna lose hope

i dont know why but i felt like the 6 sided ring made them stand out more now that they turned to the tradition ring now they REALLY look like an old WcW

 

[bwoodfolkgd74]

impact was pretty terrible

 

[kingfoamnyc]

TNA = WCW 2000. That was a horrible ending. Hebner didn't even let AJ get the ankle lock fully on before he pulled the "screwjob"

 

[bunkiv]

Newer entrance ramp, elevated walkway, traditional 4-sided ring....but same small %%% crowd in the tiny Impact Zone.

Guess you didn't see this...

[table][tr][td]

[/td] [/tr][/table]

Long-time wrestling manager Jimmy Hart hinted he could be appearing on TNA TV down the road to manage wrestlers now that Hulk Hogan and the Nasty Boys are in TNA. Hart played coy and wouldn't confirm anything during his appearance on Bite TV's "The Surf" earlier this week.

"A lot of people say if Jimmy Hart's lips are moving, then he's lying, so don't try to put two and two together and come up with four, but who knows what Jimmy Hart's going to be doing, but just because I gave you the (WWE) action figures of the Nasty Boys and they're in TNA, and just because Hulk Hogan's one of my best friends and he's in TNA, and just because I'm in Tampa and they're in Orlando, please don't put anything together," Hart said with a wink and a nod.

Hart worked for TNA several years ago when he was in charge of herding tourists to the Impact Zone for Impact tapings at Universal Studios. Hart also had a brief role on TV managing The Naturals tag team.

 

[air nikes]

so will Kurt Angle go back to WWE? or is it just in the script?

 

[CHICHAN]

It's scripted I'm pretty sure. Although, that'd be great.

Ex-WWE Diva Meets W/ Dixie Carter

Former WWE Diva Ashley Massaro attended the Survivor finale red carpet event held two weeks ago and was telling people that she's had discussions with Dixie Carter about working for TNA. Though there is a good chance she will ultimately wind up in the company, it's not expected to be imminent.

Cheech & Chong To Host RAW

WWE.com posted the following today announcing that Cheech & Chong will be guest hosting RAW on March 1st, 2010. The statement reads:
March 1, 2010: Cheech & Chong Psst - over here. So, check it out, man: The iconic comedy duo of Cheech & Chong are gonna like, take a break from their 2010 U.S. Tour just long enough to score a couple of primo gigs on Raw. The stars of several films and Grammy winners for Best Comedy Album will float into Oklahoma City to take over the show. Trippy.


Great, more hosts whose peak of fame was 2-3 decades before the birth of 80% of the current WWE Universe

The Undertaker To Retire?

As previously reported, The Undertaker is said to be in rough physical shape and is working through significant pain in recent months. However, talk of him retiring at WrestleMania 26 are premature. His physical limitations are already affecting how often he wrestles and what he's able to do in the ring, but there's been talk of Undertaking retiring for nearly a decade, so many expect him to continue working through the pain for months and years to come.

Why Eric Escobar Was Fired?

According to sources, Eric Escobar's release from World Wrestling Entertainment over the weekend hardly came as a surprise among many in the company. Escobar had a reputation for being a "major headcase" throughout his run in the company's developmental league, Florida Championship Wrestling, to the point that his heat trickled down to former tag partner Eddie "Primo" Colon. Also, there was much head scratching when WWE called him up to the main roster last fall.

Hilarious New The Rock/Coach ESPN Video

Softening his stance on the matter, Dwayne "The Rock Johnson said during an appearance on ESPN's SportsCenter last night that while he would not rule out wrestling a match when he returns to WWE, it is not likely. "In terms of wrestling a match, I really don't have any interest. I would love to go back and guest-host and entertain the audience. I could still do the physical things - Rock Bottom and People's Elbow. I could still do all that and kick #+! and have a great time," Johnson said. "As far as wrestling a match, I'm not too sure if I see that, but I would never rule it out." During his six-minute appearance, ESPN aired a clip of Johnson interacting with former WWE announcer Jonathan Coachman, who now works for the television company as a news anchor. Interestingly, he briefly behaves as "The Rock" while interacting with "The Coach."

Naw I wasn't talking about my man the Pope. I wastalking about oune of the "security people" not the actual talent.

Guess I was kinda vague with my description. I'm glad they're giving Burke a push and a fued with him and OJ is stupid imo. Him and"roofie" deserve more time for their matches.

That TNA ending last night was so damn corny.

HUH?!

Injured or not, Taker still is one of the fan favorites and he can still put up quality matches (once a year 

), plus he's one of the best locker room influences. 

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Taker is appreciated but HHH needs to go seriously

Taker will be fan favorite forever but his matching a brutal to watch. Last good match was at WM25 and that was because its Wrestlemania. He had to take several months off to ice them old $%% bones. When its time to go, its time to go.

The Rock/Coach reunion was comedy.
