I know some of you watch TNA and I personally am just getting into it so i thought it might be good to have a thread to chat about TNA in!
Especially as it sounds like its going to get bigger and rival WWE.
I have seen some comments about TNA in other threads so this could be the place to bring them all together!

It does have a ring to it with the SSS a bit like CCC but if you take the word "Machine" it does indicate something really tough whereas "Specialist" would be more of a clever mans word rather than a tough wrestler. Thats what i reckon anyways.

I'll agree.
If I saw I was wrestling against a 'specialist' I'd think the guy was talented in that way, but defeatable and possibly a bit of hype.
If, on the other hand, I saw I was against a guy with the nickname of being a 'Machine', I'd think... "I'm dead."

Hmm...let's have some examples...
'The Specialist' Mark Sloan - Weedy but talented cruiserweight, mainstay of the FWA.
The Machines - 3 guys in masks , pretending to be Japanese, from the WWE circa 1985, most noteable was Andre The Giant, as they'd ran out of sotrylines for him at the time...
Umm...maybe not the best examples.

Nice to see Jarrett endearing himself further to the locker room:
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there was recently a heated situation in a hotel room between Ron Killings, Konnan, and Jeff Jarrett. When Jarrett proposed that the group of BG James (The Road Dogg), Konnan, and Killings break up, he suggested that Konnan would go into a new group and BJ James would go with Kip James (Billy Gunn), which would leave Killings with nothing. Killings was quite frustrated with this, and that is when things got heated. Words were exchanged, and Jarrett supposedly called Killings an "uppity Negro", and things almost got ugly.
Killings offered to be a team with Jeff Hardy, an idea which had actually been suggested several times before by others, but Jarrett didn't like the idea.
Konnan has went so far as to threaten to leave the company, if Jarrett sees that they are broken up, leaving Killings with nothing. Konnan had earlier suggested to bring indy wrestler Homicide into the group, to replace James.
*Marks out for Homicide rumour*

I think both sides need to remember that Jarrett currently has very little power in TNA...I'm sure Scott D'Amore wouild't be pleased to find out his authority is being undermined....

Tactful Jeff, considering you're outnumbered 3 to 1...

Killings volunteering to flush his own career down the toilet???

Konnan is a renowned troublemaker from his WCW days. It's not like he'd exactly be missed in TNA...

Whilst I'd love to see Homicide in TNA, he'd look a bit out of place in the 3LK, unless he suddenly starts rapping and/or dancing, which I'm pretty sure no-one wants to see...

Rumours going around about Ultimo Dragon apparently in talks with TNA, he was going to show up on the last two PPV's but because of his Japanese commitments he couldn't, however he's finished them all now and is free.
Ultimo in the X-Division? *huge marking out*
