Rhyno ready to leave TNA for ECW?

[Guest Nemesis Enforcer]

If WWE makes an impressive offer, Rhino would reportedly consider leaving TNA to join its reincarnated Extreme Championship Wrestling brand.

 

TNA is presently negotiating to keep Rhino on the roster.

 

Raven and Team 3D, however, are not eligible to re-sign with WWE. Both have long-term contracts with TNA, and in the case of Team 3D, friends additionally say Brother Ray would never agree to work in the same lockerroom as Johnny Ace.

So do you think WWE will try to take him back or not and who else could end up leaving TNA for more money with WWE/ECW

[Guest Kanenite]

Interesting, it would be good for the ECW brand if Rhyno was there, I think it could help them a lot. It's a pity that he is leaving though as I have quite grown to him being in TNA.

[Ryan 188]

If WWE did sign Rhyno to ECW then WWE would probably use his "Rhino" nameas thats what he used in ECW, anyway, im sure if Rhino left for WWE/ECW im sure some will follow.

 

Note this down aswell...

 

friends additionally say Brother Ray would never agree to work in the same lockerroom as Johnny Ace.

 

"Friends" Say Ray wont work in the same Locker room as Ace again, which means its not directly from the mouth of Ray, It's probably people stratching the truth abit.

What does Buh Buh have against Johnny Ace? What's their history?

[Chris2K 176]

Well the Dudleys weren't used for nearly a year, then were promised a push on their return by Ace, before Ace changed his mind and released them.

I still think the reason that no extension deal was reached for Bubba and D-Von was the classic "big fish in a little pond" scenerio

 

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the tag team scene in WWE is in a state of turmoil. For me the only thing that's keeping it together on Smackdown is MNM - and an MNM - Dudley's feud can only go so far

 

I'm sure they felt screwed by Johnny Ace and WWE in general, probably because of the lack of (kayfabe) competition that they would be prepared to put out

But everyone's loved the Dudleys wherever they've been. They maintain overness, despite the fact that Ray can't get up in less than 10 seconds, and has to pull up his pants about 20 times per match.

I can see Rhino returning to the WWE - think about what he's done in TNA:

When he first started he worked his butt off on a PPV, won 3 matches in one night - most guys can barely work 2, but he worked 3, and busted his butt in it.

 

Yes, he won the title, but JJ grabbed it back STRAIGHT AWAY, and since then he's been nowhere near the Gold.

 

Since Christian came into TNA, Rhino has been lost in the mix, which is a shame as he's a decent worker with great intensity.

And Since Rhyno is Still the ECW Heavyweight & TV Champion he's gaurentee'd something to do if he returns to WWE/ECW.

[Guest MrFill]

Especially if Paul E is booking it, because Paul likes Rhino, so it'd be all gravy for him.

[Murph 93]

We can but hope...

[Guest The Great Ahmar]

Rhino has always been a good worker and WWE could have done something special with him back in 2001 and missed the boat really. Since then WWE hasn't been that good for him, He broke his neck and missed 2002 and some of 2003 and he never really got going back in WWE. In TNA i liked him but, think he is undervalued like some many other wrestler's. If he did return for ECW full-time it would be good for him until WWE want to have him back on the main roster which they will do to many of the ECW guys in that Part fo the company.

[Guest Craig P]

hmmm who knows what happend

 

PWtorch are notorious for bullcrap news storys

[Guest Russ]

He'd be smart to head back to Stamford, there's a ready-made money feud in Rhyno Vs Plant Pot II.

[Guest Craig P]

the plant pot will job

[Guest Dave7g]

Bah, are WWE just bringing back ECW to hurt TNA's roster, you can't help think it. Rhyno has been doing well in TNA he's had some frikkin' classics with Abyss, although Rhyno isn't really that big of a deal and neither was Sabu as he was rarely around.

[Ryan 188]

Bah' date=' are WWE just bringing back ECW to hurt TNA's roster[/quote']

 

That's certainly one reason, but whats wrong with WWE doing that?

It may not be criket, but it is Business, if WWE wana bring ECW back to screw TNA over then thats what their going to do, i dont see anything wrong with it.

[Guest The B-Man]

Thinking about this Im not sure If I would be happy at Rhino leaving TNA but in saying that MrFill makes the valid point that Heyman likes Rhino so if he is booking it then it wouldn't be a problem. What the WWE need to do is get Lynn in as well.

[Guest Dave7g]

Well how about TNA try and sign Heyman and Tommy Dreamer? Swerve.....!!

[Guest Jung]

Anyone find it ironic though that its now ECW (although with WWE's money) raiding other talent pools?

 

Weird karma eh?

No but when WCW did it to WWE everyone seemed to find a problem with it... I don't really see a problem too much, get the guys you want for your company its what all companies do but its the way WWE has double standards that annoys me, its ok for them to do it but not anyone else!

[Guest Nemesis Enforcer]

Vince McMahon is not taking any suggestions with regards to taping ECW on a third day (it will be taped at SmackDown, replacing Velocity), but he is reportedly very open-minded about signing talent with which he is not familiar to the brand.

Wasn't sure where to add this to, this thread or the WWE vs ECW thread, thought ho with this being about talent would add it to here :)
