BIG NEWS!!!!

Mick Foley, according to WWE.com, has reached an agreement to
return to WWE television. "We have an agreement," says Foley.
"The papers are just being drawn up. We should be good on it."

Seriously, he should just stay home before he kills himself. I find him about as entertaining as Eugene to begin with =/

If they really want to shake things up, they should bring DX back :mrgreen:

 

[bobobill]

I say they need to put Mae Young and Sexual Chocolate Mark Henry back on TV, That was a fantastic angle. I personally like what's happening on Raw,except cena being the chump. Mick Foley will more than likely just be promoting a book, I doubt he will see too much action if any. It would be great if he replaced either Coach or Grisham on Heat.

 

[Chuck67]

Mick Foley didn't sign a contract just to promote a book before and he
isn't now. Sources say he's had the 'itch' to perform lately from all the
independent promotions he's been going to.

Comparing him to Eugene is just....wrong.

Anyways, he will be part of WWE programs for a long term period.
Doubt he'll be doing anything life-threatening but he will provide
entertaining promos for sure.

haha that's funny



oh, and the only way Foley should come back is if he still falls on thumb tacks and takes barb wire covered baseball bats to the head :mallet:

Foley almost signed with TNA.

In a radio interview last night on Between the Ropes, Mick Foley announced that he was close to signing a contract with them and was in heavy negotiations with Dixie Carter and Jerry Jarrett to sign with the company. A deal was in place for him to be a 'figurehead' of TNA along with wrestling a couple of matches against top TNA stars. After speaking with Vince McMahon, he opted to sign a contract with WWE. He did not get anymore money from WWE than his previous contract with them so he did not use TNA to up his value.

Foley said that he was familiar with the TNA product and has watched some shows as well as knowing many TNA wrestlers. He was hoping that with their Spike TV show debuting in October, they would be a sucessful competition to the WWE. His new WWE contract will include some wrestling matches in the future although not that many.

That would have been great if Foley went to TNA... They need a boost, and that would have been huge. Who do you think the first ones to defect to TNA will be?

 

[The_Thief]

TNA would get killed in a Monday night war with Raw. They don't have the talent to survive...you think Smackdown is boring, wait til TNA shows up.

 

[nekkid]

Get killed? I don't know. You might be urprised.. People really want to see some comp for Vinnie Mac. I definaely don't think that that they would win right away but also I don't know if they would get "killed".

They have some great talent down there. I think AJ styles might be the best/most exciting in-ring performer right now. Also, you know a tn of WWE guys are gonna jump ship if TNA can pay decent (especially if they are on on mondays).

I agree TNA's product is very boring (not matches, but TV excitement) however it can only get better.

Smackdown is f'n bad right now I'm thinking about just taking off my tivo for good.

 

[The_Thief]

Aj is about it. Right now Rayven is there champ....Rayven! Does anyone really want him to hear him talk on Mondays??? They also got Abyss, and he doesn't talk. Most of there card is cruiserweight's, pretty boring, great wrestling though, just not entertaining enough. You also got Jarret running around yelling at everybody and in the title mix, it would get KILLED agaist Raw. Yup...KILLED!

 

[Jholmes145]

they should put tna against smackdwon on friday nights

 

[Dillon]

At Daily Wrestling.com has a picture of Stacy Keibler and the Rock walking out of a night club together.Also Lita and Matt Hardy are trying to work thing out.

 

[Chuck67]

As TNA prepares for its primetime cable debut, a prominent focus is securing names big enough to attract mainstream professional wrestling fans. While the names "AJ Styles" and "Christopher Daniels" mean very little to the average WWE fan, names like "Bret Hart" and "Sting" do. Both of those names are being courted by TNA, but few believe either will appear on the debut of Impact.

Sources state that TNA has been having trouble reaching Sting, while Bret Hart will likely not seriously consider a TNA deal until after WWE releases his DVD.

Kevin Nash, however, will likely work with TNA this fall. Nash appears on the poster for "Bound For Glory" and while apparently not signed to a written deal, is said to be on very good terms with TNA. Of course, with WWE reportedly making an aggressive attempt to draw big names away from TNA, if the two can't reach a deal soon, it's possible he could end up back in the number one wrestling promotion.

WWE will air hour one of Friday Night SmackDown this week on WWE.com. The reason for this is because of the fundraising concert on Friday that will air on all six broadcast networks in the US. Hour two featuring Rey Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero in a steel cage and JBL vs. Batista in a Texas Bull Rope match for the World Heavyweight Championship, which will air at 9 pm Eastern on UPN.

So viewers in the United States and the United Kingdom will have to check out the first hour of Friday Night SmackDown on WWE.com but the reason that they are doing a two hour taping is because markets such as the Canadian market will air the show in its entirety.
