Another WWE Legend Heading to TNA?

Posted by Marc Middleton on Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

- The official website of former WWE Intercontinental Champion The Honky Tonk Man notes that he is “close to signing with TNA.”

Honky’s website has a TNA logo and promo video on it as well as a message from the webmaster saying that Honky and TNA have been in talks since December of last year.

    Seriously, Wow! That’s ridiculous. He’s so old, has no name value to any new fans, and even WWE would only use him for an occasional nastalgia appearance. What a waste of money for TNA.

    he actually looked good last time he was in a WWE ring but i’d say its just for the jay lethal matches.

    be nice if they could get dragon to be the one to finish it and end the macho man gimmick but i guess it probably won’t happen.

    It is just for a one off with Jay Lethal. There is NO WAY he is sticking around. Hogan and Bubba can not stand the guy! And Honky and Bischoff have bad blood also. Trust, if he even does come in, it will be a one time thing.

    If anyone is to end Jay Lethals’ Macho Man gimmick it should be Randy Savage himself. In fact I think that could be good enough to be on a PPV! It is a match I would love to see!! OOOHHH YEAH !!!

    From what I have been reading lately a lot of wrestlers are claiming to be going to TNA and its getting harder to belive!!! I think someone’s trying to get some attention!!! They are probaly thinking if WWE thinks TNA is interested in them that WWE might make them some kind of offer just to block them from joing TNA such as a legends contract or something like that and in reality TNA probaly has’nt even shown them any interest at all. LOL good luck guys!!!

    i thought people like the guns and some of the other young talent had their contracts up sometime this year. are they making an effort to sign what has been the core of their product for the last few years or are they just banking on trying to people to watch older stars instead of pushing newer ones?

    Another has-been. Just what TNA likes.

    I hope they sign him. Just so I don’t have to see him on WWE even on cameo appearances.
