They already have their fat guy in Husky Harris who has a shit ton more potential over the next 10 years than Joe does.

I always wonder, whenever a wrestler says something like 'WWE sucks, I'm happy right here in [insert lesser company]' do they really mean it, or are they just butthurt because they can't get a job there?

90% butthurt.

It's like when Christian left WWE, went to TNA, and he gives that big speech of 'WWE is old and boring, TNA is where everyone needs to be.'

WWE then say to him 'Hey Christian, you want your job back' and he goes 'BOY DO I?' and goes straight back there.

Victoria/Tara as well, she goes over to TNA, 'Oh, TNA is so much better than WWE', then in her feud with Mickie James she pretty much said 'Mickie James cost me my job with WWE, now I'm here' make up your mind woman!

To be fair, a lot of ex WWE wrestlers in TNA achieve certain growth, from "Mr Anderson" who was doing okay but has really spread his wings, to "The Pope" who barely got any push from the WWE and has flourished, to Tara who not only was able to be given the push she deserved, but also a push in a division that was a special thing at the time.

I guess TNA could be seen as a new ECW of sorts, a place where one can go and come into their own, and then be better prepared to come to the WWE.

Although the company has some fantastic wrestlers, TNA is still fucking horrible, made worse by the bastardization of the X Division and the Womens Division, the two divisions that at some points, made TNA the one to watch.

Also yes, Husky Harris has some serious star power in comparison to Samoa Joe. Joe may be the better wrestler, but Harris is not only good in the ring, but also plays his character excellently, even when not being given all that to begin with.

- WWE's Jerry McDevitt sent off an angry email to Irv Muchnick after Irv made comments in a Pittsburgh City Paper article that were critical of the WWE Wellness Policy.

Check out the email from McDevitt here.

McDevitt seemed to be laying groundwork for a WWE lawsuit against Muchnick for relaying false info. Muchnick has long been critical of the company. Check out Irv's response here.

- Yesterday, a fan posted on Eric Bischoff's Facebook page, saying that if he were in any other business and had not delivered for them the way that he hasn't delivered for TNA, he would have been fired by now. Bischoff actually called the audio blog that the poster does and took him to task for what the blogger posted. Bischoff noted every incorrect statement the guy made and asked him if he knew confidential company numbers. Bischoff totally distanced himself from the creative process in the call, implying it needed repaired. The blogger mentioned that "TNA has lost more money this year than they have lost in the last seven combined", and Bischoff asked him how he knew that. The blogger said it was on the internet and anyone could find it. Bischoff said that was wrong and that TNA's numbers are not public knowledge because they are a private company. Bischoff would not divulge any numbers himself. Bischoff also put over TNA Reaction and Hulk Hogan merchandising.

Husky Harris has a fan right here. I like his in-ring work a lot. I really like Samoa Joe, too, but he's become so uneven lately.

I like Husky's combo of speed and power.

He's really come along as a surprising prospect

He is basically Samoa Joe from several years ago just with the added ability to play on OK character. Joe has ate himself out of that in-ring ability.
