TNA signed a huge multiyear tv deal in Asia today. With all this extra money they should be able to bring in another reality star.

No, he got his second strike and will never receive a third. WWE will never fire the guy for the very reason TNA would pick him up the second the termination papers were signed. Vince knows this.

Exactly, every time TNA picks up a talent on that level they see a giant permanent boost to their ratings.

TNA definitely needs to bring in some new guys on the roster though. The X Division and Tag Team Division are especially dry right now.

I mean who is Bobby Roode gonna fight for the couple months before the inevitable Roode vs Storm rematch at Bound for Glory?

Btw, does anyone know how often it's happened that a wrestler that loses the WHC immediatly gets put in a long term WWE title feud? That's pretty unique, isn't it?

Although the other way around, but Edge is the man. In No Way Out 2009, he went into the Smackdown EC as the WWE Champion, got pinned by Jeff Hardy within 3 minutes of starting the match lol, and lost the title, that was to open the show.

Then,

He took Kofi's place into the Raw EC in the main event due to Kofi's last minute "injury", where John Cena went in as the World Heavyweight Champion, and Edge won the match becoming the new WHC in the same night he lost the WWE title (to HHH mind you).

But a heel Cena will not happen anytime soon, he could still be doing the same (being bully Super Cena) but in a different light.

Isn't a bully a heel, or is WWE promoting bullying now? I am confused - that's like making a rapist a baby face. WTF WWE.

Yeah the x division is horrible right now. They'll just rotate the same guys in and out against Roode. They just did Sting 3 months ago and already went back to him. Next it will probably be Anderson or Hardy again. You would think they would atleast bring in John Morrison.

That's a babyface, that's a role model, that's WWE's face and image, that's what all the current kids are aiming to be.

A heel is that person that doesn't drink, doesn't do drugs and only tells the truth to those meth addicts and roids users. A heel is that person that doesn't eat meat or dairies.

Yeah, bringing in Morrison would definitely be a nice boost to the X Division just by himself. A lot of fresh match ups.

The tag team division is a bigger worry for me though. Just a year ago we had Beer Money, The Machine Guns, The British Invasion, Mexican America, Ink Inc. and even Gunner and Murphy.

Now we have Daniels and Kazarian.

Mexican America, Ink Inc, and Gunner and Murphy were all horrible and not missed. Machine Guns of course were affected by Shelley leaving so that was beyond TNA's control. They need to make some tag teams with guys they aren't using. Maybe put Kash and Doug Williams together. Put Pope with Gunner and repackage Gunner. Main problem with TNA right now is they don't have enough time on tv a week with only 2 hours.

I'm surprised they had them go on last.

I expect half the Jimmies left after Cener won.

Little Jimmies in the world tours are a minority, even in these house shows, you don't get to see WWE live in Sevilla like ever.

The times I've been to house shows in Manchester or Liverpool, the kids parents usually have WWE shirts as well, so you can see that those wanting to go are not just the kids, but long time fans.

We don't need a fatass champion. Might as well have him face Akebono in a sumo match. We should start calling him CM Piggy Or Punky the Pig.
