The Squared Circle

[DX]

As previously reported, King Booker has removed the WWE logos and references from his website. Booker has been telling people in the independents that he will be able to take bookings in 30 days. We've received another report from the indys where Booker was telling other wrestlers that he is done with WWE.

 

[The Sage]

-- The plan right now is to keep Randy Orton and Triple H apart, as far as storylines go. WWE wants to possibly save the meeting for a big match at WrestleMania 24. As you know, plans can change at anytime.

I hope they do. HHH/Orton has been done many times and it isn't fresh.

-- The Vancouver Sun is reporting some new details on Bret Hart’s upcoming autobiography. According to the publication, Hart carried a tape recorder with him on the road for several years where he would put his thoughts and later transcribed them. Apparently those will be included in the autobiography.

Also in the book, Hart admits to many extra-marital affairs, his weakness for women while on the road as well as painting WWE Chairman Vince McMahon as a master manipulator who “wasn’t good for s—t.”

Bret Hart has promised that he is very open and brutally honest in the book.

I might pick this up. And it sounds like the "Sunny Days" comment HBK made to Hart years back may have been true.

-- Kevin Nash will indeed be returning to action in TNA as a main event superstar.

Ugh, why...

What a way for the Real last WCW World Champion to go out.

It is Booker's choice...I'd much prefer if he came back and announced he was retiring or whatever, but much like The Rock, who dropped WWE like a hot rock after Hollywood came calling....I'm used to it

 

[Warhammer]

I am going to miss King Booker.
He was not only my current favorite heel, but he was also my 2nd favorite, overall.

Ya I don't trust the votes either. What was it a year or two ago...wasn't it like Edge and someone else vs. then 2 ppl who were voted in. Rey and Matt Hardy get voted in, then Edge disappears. This was after the Matt, Lita, Edge deal, and they probably weren't ready to have Matt go over Edge since they just had Edge beat Matt and move him to SD. So that's a decent example of them changing the card to avoid a fan vote choice.

Another thing is they give you two ******ed options and one really good one usually. Like Batista vs. (you get to vote Khali, the brooklyn brawler, or Rick Steiner), and the stipulations are (vote match type, steel cage first blood hardcore match, tutu match, chess match).

Edge was injured at the time and couldn't work the match. I have a good feeling that Christian was close in votes with Matt Hardy, but Christian had also officially quit the company, agreeing to work the PPV if he was voted in.

no more king bookah! .

 

[Dr. Evil]

- TNA is apparently talking to former WCW World Heavyweight champion David Arquette. Arquette called Jonny Fairplay about managing him.

Thus bolstering my theory that TNA can do 1 thing right......and a bunch of things wrong.....

 

[Mr. Socko]

TNA has officially become WCWv2

Kevin Nash vs Sting as the main event for the next ppv...seriously


I use to love both of these guys, but they shouldn't be main eventing an up and coming brand. TNA needs new superstars and look to the future instead of looking to the past and trying to milk the old superstars as much as possible.

I'm sure all the younger talent on the TNA roster feels the exact same way.....who's to say that people like Chris Harris or Robert Roode can't main event? I happen to like Robert Roode....decent character, good wrestler.....drool::Ms. Brooks:drool.....

 

[Hunter Rider]

I hope they do. HHH/Orton has been done many times and it isn't fresh.

They are saving it to headline WM24 though.

No Wonder HBK calls him a hypocrite for judging Shawn's lifestyle.

What a way for the Real last WCW World Champion to go out.

Agreed

Oh and just a few days ago Dixie Carter said that she is interested in working with Hulk Hogan and hope he can wrestle for the company in the future.



The man is near 60, there is no wrestling "future" for Hulk Hogan. Next she'll say she wants Jake the Snake to come out of retirement and work for them in the future too.

They did that last year, and the result was basically as expected with poor ol' Jake. Drunken incoherence, and no one got over, and TNA never spoke of him or used him again.

I can't figure out why they do pointless **** like that all the time...it just doesn't make sense.

 

[Frico]

That new Melina shoot is ****in amazing. Def her best one yet :heart:

The last time I watched TNA, Robert Roode was pretty sucky. Which is interesting because as Bobby Roode, he was one of the best things about TNA, and everyone was expecting him to be a huge star...then TNA did what they always do. **** up.

Dear God, help us all.

I honestly doubt the truth of this little tidbit though, as Arquette was rather embarrassed by his stint in WCW, either because of or in spite of the fact that he is a huge wrestling fan. I doubt he'd do it again.

Then again, he also starred in Sharkboy & Lavagirl. You can't scrape the barrel much lower than that.

 

[BlackLantern]

its great to see Val Venis get some TV time.....as far as TNA goes....I don't know what goes through the upper managements brain.....you have plenty of young and capable talent on the roster and you are hinging your future on guys like Sting, Hogan, kevin nash????? WTF my fellow wrestling fans WTF??

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Has HHH/Orton been done before with HHH being the face?
