Only if it's heel Jericho. The crowd pandering face Jericho we most recently had to endure was embarrasing to watch. That "blah blah blah" promo that he cut on Heyman was just cringeworthy.

Much rather have tweener Jericho.

Sandow comes out and attacks Cena's arm. Cashes in...Loses

So ****ing sick of Cena.

Edit: I was hoping they brought Cena back to beat Del Rio, and then Sandow was going to cash in, beat Cena and put him on the shelf.

That way, Sandow gets put over HUGE

Hypothetical question...

Let`s say TNA has the same money WWE has. So production values are the same and they also have two shows, (Impact and something else that`s two hours long) but with the same stars, creative team, and PG vs PG13 that they each currently have now.

Who`s better, and who are you watching?

Depends, does TNA stay private or does it become public?

Either way I'm leaning towards TNA but if the company went public then who knows?

Viacom is looking to buy TNA....

NEW YORK CNNMoney report: "There is a strong.. strong feeling within TNA Wrestling Entertainment, not only in the "ups" in the office, but with the workers, too, that the announcement of the company's sale to Viacom could be made soon, it is expected to be confirmed imminently. A number of TNA employees who, only a few days ago, did not believe the talk of a sale had any truth to it like AJ Styles, now look at the sale as being imminent." Eric Bischoff is believed to be behind the Viacom bid.

Terms of the deal were disclosed in a small way , Viacom will pay more for TNA Wrestling Entertainment thin WWF did for WCW . Michael Nathanson said that Jeffrey Leonard "Jeff" Jarrett would retain a minority stake financial gain more shares up to %40. Viacom had brought on board Jeff Jarrett as a part owner and an active player in TNA Wrestling’s future, but said little else about how the brand would change.

the latest in a series of purchases "In fall 2011, the company paid around $50 million for a majority stake in Bellator Fighting Championships, according to people with knowledge of the deal who did not want to be identified discussing internal company business."

While the sum is astronomical by MMA standards, the sum represents approximately 1% of the five billions dollars in cash that Viacom is sitting on.

The cash-cow businesses owned by Panda Energy International, Inc parent company. It is the end of an era for Panda Energy International, Inc. the purchase should be financially manageable. TNA is worth about $1.2 billion, according to estimates by Viacom , which means the purchase price is about 3 percent of Viacom net worth. I think there’s is low-hanging fruit on the revenue front thats why the sale is already over” analyst Michael Nathanson said.

The quoted analyst Michael Nathanson wrote in a research note that "I think this is very scary if your name is Vince McMahon. Viacom will pay more for TNA Wrestling Entertainment thin WWF did for WCW .Viacom and Spike TV has enjoyed an extremely successful working relationship with TNA Wrestling, over the past several years, and we anticipate that relationship continuing,we are always interested in adding properties to our portfolio that will expand our presence and position in the field of sports entertainment. Unlike the limitations of Bellator Fighting Championships Viacom is looking to produce 40 to 50 hours a week a cross all television network owned by Viacom ."

wow.

Lol, Vince bought WCW for less than 4 million according to the book "the Death of WCW", which isn't saying much.

Hogan said himself, that he was shocked Vince paid so little for WCW and had he of known the figures, he would have made a pitch to buy WCW for himself.

Yeah Hogan is an idiot, Bischoff had a deal in principle in place to buy WCW long before McMahon but Turner wouldn't give him a TV time slot. Without a host network, he couldn't do the deal, and if Bischoff couldn't get a time slot, wtf makes Hogan think he could have got one?

Because he's Hulk Hogan.

He was still in his "prime" years and was still one of the top draws in the business.

bryan's push died at night of champions. those guys blew it with that guy and now i dont care anymore. rather have cm punk back on top and paige/summer rae on my tv

Meh I'm bored of Punk at the moment. He just comes out and cuts the same damn promo over and over, although he hasn't had much to do lately either. A feud with the Wyatts won't be helping at that either.

I was the guy defending the Authority/Bryan angle but it's officially dead now. It's Punk all over again with Triple H stealing Bryan's heat this time and Big Show playing the role of Kevin Nash. It's just drifted off into nothingness,

It probably sounds like on the occasion i come into this thread, i bitch and whine about the same things, but I've found it imperative to never defend what the wwe does, as awesone as it may initially sound, especially when HHH is involved directly. When an angle begins to trend downwards, it's going to freefall sooner rather than later. Have to enjoy the odd month of goodness it brings before moving on again. Can never sit down to watch the show properly because of this.
