If the WWE is willing to sign Chris Harris to a developmental deal, I'm sure they'd be willing to sign other, better TNA wrestlers.
Kaz is getting burried in a program with Dustin Rhodes. I'm sure he's not too happy going from one of the best matches of the year - the ladder match with Christian Cage - to nearly beating Kurt Angle for the TNA World Championship to wrestling Dustin Rhodes for a white rat. Maybe Kaz should give Vince McMahon or J.R. a call.
Kevin Nash gave an interview recently with somebody that isn't important and said that he really like the long-term plans that TNA has for Samoa Joe. That's good because Samoa Joe may be the best pro-wrestler not only in that company, but possibly in any North American company (WWE). However, I'd give a pinky to see Samoa Joe jump ship to the WWE. I'm sure he'd get burried on SmackDown, but he might not... Seeing how the crowd reacted to him on his first appearance would be the most interesting thing.
There is plenty of underused talent in TNA and I'm sure they are looking at Chris Harris' new WWE deal and saying to themselves -- 'Hey, I wonder what would happen if I gave the WWE a call. I know what happens if I stay here. I'll watch Kurt Angle cut promos for half an entire show and then I'll have a five minute squash match every other week and take a risky bump. Granted, if I get an opportunity in the WWE, I have to watch John Cena arm wrestle people as the main event, but there are two other brands in that company in which I can flourish. I would also make allot more money with the WWE. Hmmm....' -- at least that is what I would be saying to myself.

Random Notes and Opinions 11/16/07
Junior Fatu was very unpopular with the TNA talent. He showed no respect to the unknown guys - according to the unknown guys who he apparently didn't show respect to. He called Robert Roode Rick Rude. Overall, it seemed as if he was just there to collect a paycheck. I only go to my job to collect a paycheck. I think that probably 80% of Americans only go to work because they get paid. But, it's different with a wrestling promotion and especially a promotion attempting to grow the way Total Nonstop Action is attempting to grow. All of the talent has to be working together and be committed and truly care about the show. So, if all of this is true, and it all seems to be true, it's good that Junior Fatu is gone; it's good for TNA and it's good for me - the guy that watches TNA and isn't really interested in leftover WWE talent from 1999.
Edge is going to return at Sunday's Survivor Series. I'm a big fan of Edge although I think he tries to hard at being a heel. It's overkill but he's still probably my favorite wrestler. I'm sure he'll bounce right back into the world title picture. I'm thinking that Taker will win the title because of Edge's interference setting up a Batista-Edge feud. I can't see the Undertaker not winning the belt. It was the plan at Wrestlemania 23 for him to have a long title run. Neither The Undertaker or Batista really need the belt to get over.
It was cool to see Scott Hall and Kevin Nash together in the ring beating up Kurt Angle and Tomko and AJ Styles... sort of. I'm a little sketchy about TNA right now. I think they're pushing WWE leftovers where they should be pushing the home grown talent. If WCW had pushed Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit instead of Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage, I think they would still be around today. So if TNA is going to push Hall and Nash instead of AJ Styles and Samoa Joe they're not going to be around in a couple of years.
Speaking of Samoa Joe, he has yet to agree to a new contract with TNA. It's interesting because he and AJ Styles are the only true TNA talent that I think would be successful in the WWE. It'd be cool to see what kind of crowd reaction they would receive if they showed up on Raw. Ah... knowing Vince they'd probably be put on the ECW roster... which is really thin. They don't even have enough guys to fill a one hour show.
I'm a little more excited about Survivor Series now than I was when I posted my preview. I'm most excited about Monday... Y2J... I can't wait for the countdown. You know you can't either.
Peace Out
