TNA Announcer Pushing for Mike Knox, Ric Flair Turning Face?, More

Posted by Marc Middleton on Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

- AJ Styles was extremely upset the day of the recent iMPACT tapings when officials told him he would be losing the World Heavyweight Title that night to Rob Van Dam since it was a decision made because of bad ratings.

- People within TNA have been wanting Ric Flair to turn babyface but he’s against the idea. Speaking of Flair, he and wife Jackie Beams have been back together since their domestic incident earlier this year. Jackie was with Ric at the recent iMPACT tapings. Flair’s daughter Ashley will be getting married this month to her boyfriend of four years, the same guy who punched Ric last year.

- Taz has been pushing for TNA officials to sign former WWE Superstar Mike Knox. Apparently Taz sees something in Knox.

I love that this lintin character gets free reign from this site to post this crap on every single news article. Yet for some reason, every other thread, I can’t post because it says I’m “blacklisted by the author”…even though it’s Marc Middleton, and then I CAN post on the very next Middleton posted news piece. Great site. Really.

AJ Styles will be released in a matter of weeks.
If he isn’t I bet all he does is house shows and never appears on TV again.

I’ve been banned on this before as well and I have absolutely no idea why. Wasn’t saying anything rude or offensive. Ah well. Lintin is a bit of a prize t.o.o.l. People who buy into his comments should just realise he’s just doing it to wind you up.

In the beginning of it seemed like Knox was copying the style of the late great Bruiser Brody. I remember looking forward to his matches because of this. I agree with Taz in that there was something about him. WWE dropped the ball on this guy.

Im glad they got rid of JR. I am glad theres no swearing on WWE. I love WWE. They are awesome, ever since they changed in 1999 from 18 to PG, it was the best birthday ever.
I dumped my gf today. i told her that I liked someone else, and that is JOHN CENA!
CENA WILL YOU MARRY ME?
TNA sucks, they have Daniel Bryan on TNA, who cant contribute to ratings because of his wrestling skills.

I think they should push for Benjamin to be on TNA as well. He is great. Hopefully they look into him. He could put on a lot of good matches on TNA.

Ok, so TNA goes back to Thursday nights because they can’t compete with WWE on Monday nights. TNA tried to bolster their ratings by having the championshp switch hands on TV. This is something Vince and the WWE never has to do.
It sucks that AJ had to lose the title that way, but that’s what happens with bad management and lack of interest.
Flair needs to stay a heel, he works better as one since he is the ‘dirtiest player in the game’.
As far as Mike Knox is concerned, TNA can have him and his glorious beard. He is an ok big man, but he’s put on a lot of weight since he first came to WWE. Knox falls into the same category as Snitsky, big guy with some athletic ability and a mildly interesting character.

denz: no offence mate but you don’t know what real talent is and what you are saying. Knox has alot of talent, if wwe gave him a better push and developed his character more deep it would have been great but the problem is that wwe has more kidies watching it and they might have not have understanded his character. In tna he might do good and get the right push he deserves
