Brett 'The Hitman' Hart returns to WWE after over a decade out and Hulk Hogan debuts in TNA.
I'm going to watch TNA.

lol hamada is my fave 'knockout', she's one of the few female wrestlers that i don't change the channel when they actually wrestle(trish stratus, lita and beth phoenix being a few others and awesome kong)
Its on tommorow, going up against WWE. Three hour special. Names like RVD, Ken Kennedy, Goldberg and Paul Heyman have been mentioned to appear.
On Irish television, I think will be shown next Saturday, however Dixie Carter mentioned that it would be an edited 2 hour version in the uk.
On tomorrow night on SpikeTV, same time as RAW I think.
App RVD is Suicide!!Quote:

Going to watch WWE on TV and TNA on the interwebs illegally*.
*I'm a badass.
More interested in Raw of course, fans have been waiting over 10 years for Vince and Bret to go face-to-face.
Hogan on the other hand, I just want to see what he is going to do tomorrow. TNA have done sweet f**k all to convince people to watch. It's just ''Hey!, Hulks gunna be on TNA...you guys should watch it''. At least with WWE we know that at some point something between Bret and Vince will happen.
I don't think the WWE will be beaten either (and as a fan since 99 I'm hoping not), but it's exciting to have some competition again.
Ah I watch TNA cause we I was younger Sting was my Icon, and hes in it! well was duno where he is now! Syles is unreal with all those rope moves! He'd do well in WWE! Give it 5 years before TNA does a WCW and invades the WWE to start another war/split etc etc etc!
Anyone here like me who used to watch Wrestling back in the 90's when Bret Hart was wrestling.
Well he is making his return tonight on RAW.
Anyone gonna watch it?
Should this not be in the entertainment section? ;)
I used to watch it when they were in Universal studios(boy was that crappy).
I dunno I just always found WWE more entertaining. And the Octagon ring threw me off it aswell.
I cant wait for this tonight, He was my favourite wrestler when i was a kid, havent watched it in years but heard he was coming back so have to watch it tonight
Sure wrestling is a sport isn't it??Quote:

TBH i just hope he is good, it will ruin my childhood memories of wrestling if he is crap tonight, Sharpshooter has to come out at some stage thoQuote:

actually wrestling should be in other sports tbh. its not a sport but it's a sport in nature so yeah. anyway bret hart looked terrible, was a sad sight to see. i wish he had returned when wwe was not in PG mode.
Yeah I've been a huge WWF and later WCW and TNA fan since the 80s.
Bret was always my favourite, kept my interest in the sport even after it was dying (granted the product is so stale in the WWE now I never watch any more)
Anyway have just watche dthe highlights of both Raw and TNA and TNA was by far the better show. Bar Hitman's interaction with Michaels Raw was quite poor. Impact was far better, better matches and better segments, plus I'm a huge Bischoff fan so was delighted to see back on TV. Also TNA's signing of Jeff Hardy is massive in terms of taking ratings from the WWE. Loads of kids will switch over now because Jeff was the most over star in the federation before he left. Great signing by TNA
jebus was wcw shown in ireland?
Nitro was on TNT which my cousins down the country had. I don't know if the channel was on any cable package in Dublin.Quote:

Youtube or dailymotion some of the the stuff they did, honestly WCW in 1996/97 was the best time for wrestling in my opinion, unbelievable matches backed by great storylines
That said Bret vs Austin from 96/97 is my favourite feud of all time
Shamus aka stephen farrelly.
shown on itv on saturdays.Quote:

But like you said he signed till April so plenty of time for Bret to kick his ass.
the reason i ask is because i have memories being in my cousins house when i'd be in ireland and seeing booker t and sting...and for some reason billy kidman. i dont remember anyone else. didnt like wrestling until 2000.Quote:

Beginning in 1991, WCW WorldWide was broadcast in the UK on the ITV network originally overnight at 1 or 2 a.m.Quote:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_WorldWide -> WorldWide in the United Kingdom
Also it's great to see Bischoff back on TV as well. For my money he plays the GM role much better than Vince even
Hmm I wouldn't be so sure that Hogan is going to elevate the younger guys. Looks like he's going to push his pals more. It's already being seen as Desmond Wolfe (aka Nigel McGuinness) was substantially pushed down the card for Monday's show having stolen the show at their last two PPVs.
TNA Spoiler
SPOILER: Desmond Wolfe goes over clean on Samoa Joe on next week's Impact, push resumed
Re: Bret - I can understand why Vince got the first shot in. A lot of wrestling fans turned on the Hitman due to perceived bitterness on his part, for him to lay out Vince after Vince thanked him for being the Best There Is, Was and Will Ever Be would have to set Bret up as the heel as it would be a cheap shot. Now I want to tune in to see Bret get his revenge on Vince.
Also he's had three strokes so he's pretty limited in the ring (can't take any hard head shots) so I think the plan is for Vince to take on Bret in a street fight at WM as that will limit they amount of action (similar to Hogan v Vince) and give adequate breathing time between spots. Hitman will go over with the Sharpshooter at WM
Re: Hulk - He'll push some of his mates because he'll think nWo = ratings and to an extent he is right. That said the Nasty Boys shouldn't be let near a ring, and Bubba The Love Sponge is an idiot of the highest order. That said Hogan with his financial problems NEEDS this to work, so he'll do whatever will make him and TNA the most money. I think the elevation of the Pope, the continued push of other young guys and Jeff Hardy come sin means we'll see these near the top for the time being. I also have no problem with the Outsiders reforming to take on Beer Money. Beer Money are the third best tag team in the last ten years (Machine Guns and E&C in that order for the top two) so for them to face off against arguably the best, but definitely the most important, tag team of the 90s makes sense to me
