Steiner Brothers should be in. Luger and Sting maybe? Hall and Nash for influence?

You could make an argument for all of those guys but I don't see what Eddie Guerrero has to do with that.

My favorite TNA delusion is that they will move to a different Discovery networks. Here are the other discovery networks, FYI:

Discovery Channel
TLC
Animal Planet
Investigation Discover
Oprah Winfrey Network
Science
Discovery Family
American Heroes Channel
Velocity
Destination America
Discovery Life

All of them except Discovery Life have more viewers than Destination America. None of them make sense for wrestling programming

But you know, Impact is a lock for Animal Planet!!

Mission Demolition

Also one that I wish would be a wrestling PPV:

Chris Regal posted:

If you're a regular reader of my columns, you know that I've consistently said that the behind the scenes matters don't concern me simply because they don't ultimately affect the television product. A few weeks ago, however, I began to have my doubts and shared with you my thoughts about that in one of my Randomania pieces and in particular TNA's inability to get away from the Impact Zone and other issues starting to affect Impact. Unfortunately, this week's show was a complete mess and I think it's time to recognize that there's something rotten in the state of TNA.

The behind the scenes matters have begun to affect the way much of the staff does their job and more importantly it's affected those on the creative and production team as well as the wrestlers. I've spoken openly about the disaster that was last month's tapings schedule that essentially rendered this year's Slammiversary PPV a lame duck as well as other decisions such as taping so many shows in one set or tapings in the Impact Zone. As bad as all that is, however, the fiasco that is the Hernandez contract mess is simply inexcusable. It's incompetence at its worst.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

This is something that truly needs to be emphasized because when you start to screw with the wrestlers' ability to do their job, you start to lose their confidence in you and sadly, you start to lose their loyalty. And the wrestlers start to rethink their options. And they even start to contemplate asking for their release. I think you know where I'm going with this. I'm as big and loyal a TNA fan as you'll find. But like the wrestlers themselves, there's a tipping point for the core diehard fans as well. And I'm afraid that many have reached theirs...and regrettably, I'm reaching mine.

i love tna impact. i think ethan carter has the best body in the pro game right now in terms of power game. yes he was disrespectful to the title but he has great hind legs. also don't forget jessie godderz he is also disrespectful with an incredible body.
I hope this was a troll but somehow...i doubt it.

I'm taking "hind legs" to mean that Anthropomorphic Wolf Ethan Carter is the best wrestler in his ongoing weekly TNA furry slash fanfic.

I actually like Waltman for the HOF. Nobody his size was doing what he was doing with the heavyweights at the beginning of his career. Granted, that has a lot to do with booking, but he was a trend-setter for little dudes being legit threats to bigger guys.
