And Johnny Rodz put tons of asses in seats. I'd argue both of them mean far more to the history of WWE than Jarrett. And Godfather was far more over at his peak than Jarrett ever was. He is one of the most remembered characters from the biggest business period in WWE history. The only way Jarrett got sorta over was the hardcore misogynist gimmick that was about as cheap heat as you could get. Link to post Share on other sites
Nice Guy Eddie 21,757 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Vince will put Dixie Carter in the HoF just to piss Jarrett off. Ultimately, who cares? It's not like it's a real hall of fame anyway. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

But she did completely destroy a promotion that could've offered real competition to Vince, so in a way she DOES belong in a WWE hall of fame. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

BEN! 1,961 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2017/07/14/matt-jeff-hardy-boyz-broken-wwe-impact "Sources" Might as well add a byline by Matt and Reby Hardy on it the way it's framed. I don't understand the fetishism of painting the Hardys as victims. What have they lost? What are their damages? They still have their best known ring names and they've certainly made more money with WWE this year than they did all last with TNA. They don't have Borash to shoot for them and WWE would never do such corny-looking effects so the gimmick wouldn't resemble the original so they should just come up with something different and save themselves the drama. And they should really eliminate the 'Delete' stuff anyway cause people are just doing Nazi salutes anymore. People act like the owl men owe the Hardys something. They bought TNA. The gimmick is part of TNA's IP. This is like if you bought a used car and one of the engineers demands you give it to them because they designed it. Link to post Share on other sites

The narrative will never be anything other than them being in the wrong. Back when Matt was getting DUI's every week and Jeff could barley walk, they were chastised for even hiring them in them in the first place. Now they owe them the world.

BEN! 1,961 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I didn't listen to the latest teleconference cause I didn't hear anything about Scott Steiner calling in and calling Jeremy Borash and Joseph Park fatasses but JB reportedly announced that John Hennigan, Taya Valkyrie, and OI4K (Crist Bros.) are scheduled for the August house shows. Also, Gail Kim transitioning over to Madison Rayne's role as the Knockouts' agent/talent scout. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They were in Nashville this week shooting vignettes. According to Konnan on his podcast, Mascarita Dorada (El Torito) is also coming in soon. They've also just signed a couple of new knockouts. No word on who exactly though. Link to post Share on other sites

hammerva 4,609 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 It really does look like they are promoting the first GWF Amped show as Bobby Roode "invading" the company. I guess that will work since it came off like he jumped from TNA when he showed up a couple years ago. Link to post Share on other sites
