Ok first Samoa Joe, now James Storm. Am I the only one scratching my head as to why AJ Styles is not on the NXT roster? I mean seriously? He would tear the house down with Finn Balor and Sami Zayn.
First, Storm isn’t signed yet as of this writing. But even if he does sign, the answer is money. AJ makes a lot working for New Japan and ROH.
Why hasn't TNA updated their roster on their web site? They still have Bully Ray, MVP, and James Storm, just to name a few, on their active roster. Are they trying to give off the presence that they have a lot of talent signed?
I think it is more that they are just short handed and it is not one of the things that they spend their man-hours on. But I agree it does make them look bad.
And do you think we'll ever see this era's end to the Monday Night War and see Triple H show up on Impact saying that WWE/NXT has bought out TNA? I know the two brands aren't at "war", but just a thought.
I never say never but right now, no. If TNA doesn’t have a TV deal, that is probably the main thing that would put them out of business. I don’t see WWE buying Impact and continuing it on The WWE Network.
So TNA's answer to drawing in viewers is to let Matt Hardy (a heavy fan favorite of what fans they have left) win the title and subsequently vacate the belt because of an "injunction". Now they will have a "World Title Series", a clear rip off on the actual World Cup, that will be round - robin which means it'll take forever before there's a new champion on TV. Why do they think they have the time to hope viewers will follow this? Last time I checked, they can't afford to keep most of their talent on contract, their founder cashed out while his shares were worth more than the paper they're printed on, and their TV future is iffy at best. Am I missing something?
I honestly feel that when they were taping in July, they knew there was a chance that they would be off of Destination America in October. Luckily, that didn’t happen, but I think they found a way to do a few months of TV to get them through the end of the year and fulfill their other TV contracts in case that happened.
NXT Takeover showed us that you can put women in the main event in this day and age and have fantastic results. If they were to have a women's match as the main event of RAW or PPV for the first time since Trish and Lita, which of the main roster divas would you put in that match?
That is easy, Sasha vs. Charlotte for the Title. I let them do an NXT style match and they will tear the house down, guaranteed. Sasha Banks is, in my opinion, the best professional wrestler in America. I hope WWE creative realizes that soon. And Charlotte is awesome as well.
