    TNA releases Petey Williams, Lance Hoyt and Jimmy Rave. Christian Debut's on ECW.

    Like This Thread!
    Vince has never been fond of Christian and proved it when he decided to place hom on ECW, he debuted there tonight I read, I dont watch that crap so I don't know what happened. On a sad note, Petey Williams was released from TNA today, there was NO better X-Division run that his late 04 into early 05 run IMO, it was classic. Lance Hoyt and Jimmy Rave were also released. Maybe Williams and Rave will go to ROH and Hoyt will just .............go.

    I think Christian's place in ECW is the best thing they can do with him right now. ECW needs some established stars, while Raw is packed with A-listers and SmackDown doesn't have room for him in the main event. At least on ECW he can be in the main event with no other stars overshadowing him and keeps him away from the Matt/Jeff/Edge problem going on right now.

    Maybe Petey could go to ECW as well. Would the flip piledriver even be allowed for use in WWE?
    Yup. It's a signature. Go away if you're expecting something interesting here.

    Didn't Trevor Murdoch try to use some god awful version of that before he got the boot?

    While I thought Petey was not good on the mic to say the least, he was great in the ring and TNA dropping him makes no sense whatsoever. TNA pretty much destroyed him when they made him one of the many "copycat" acts, especially when he was copying freaking Scott Steiner.

    Oh and Jimmy Rave was decent. Lance Hoyt was not.

You're ashamed of going around calling yourself Poffo so you probably got the name Savage because you're ashamed of putting yourself on the same level as your brother because he is much better than you are. YOUR BROTHER IS A HUMAN BEING. YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A SCUMBAG. THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE; YOU'RE A DOG. YOUR NAME IS POFFO." - Ronnie Garvin to Randy Savage, ICW Wrestling, 1980.

    Ooookaaaayyyy. I'm sorry but i'm going to have to deduct you 10 points for being wrong. I may not be a WWE fan but I would watch RAW or Smackdown any day of the week before I watch ECW, which many would agree with i'm sure.

    Petey would own in ROH. He has all the tool's in the ring that I have seen him use in the indy fed's but TNA wouldn't let him use because he always had to wrestle around his gimmick. Petey could put on an awesome 30 minute match against Bryan Danielson and tear down the house in any venue they perform at. ROH and Petey would be a great mix.

    He actually did a one-shot with them once against AJ Styles back in 2005. A guest appearance of sorts, since he was already made in TNA.

    And if you like to dig up indy stuff, you might enjoy Petey vs Styles vs Sabin vs Daniels, or Petey vs Punk

    ECW is like the bridge from the developemental system to the main roster. It's where guys go to get exposure and learn their craft on a big stage and still be able to make mistakes.

    ECW isn't a step down for christian, it's an opportunity to prove himself and help newer guys become stars.

    You guys are completely forgetting to mention that Stevie Richards signed with TNA. Don't any of you realize what this could lead to?

    THE BLUE MAFIA!!

    Because if TNA wants to book like it's the late 90s, they might as well cover all the bases, right?

    Yes, he called it the Ace of Spades. Melina has a flip powerbomb (Last Call) as her new finisher. It goes for naught if Williams goes to WWE, and at this stage it doesn't look like that'll happen.

    Exactly. And who's to say Christian didn't want to be part of that drama anyway? He's been around the block enough with Edge and the Hardys over the years, such that if he were to be shoehorned into that angle, it'd be several steps backward for him. He'll be the next challenger for the ECW title heading into Mania, and with the draft being moved back to April this year from what I've read, he may be safe in ECW for now.

    People's opinions cannot be wrong. Basically all the problems we have in the wrestling threads right now is because of people assuring their fellow posters that what they think is wrong. Someone can only be wrong if we are dealing in facts and "ROH is better than WWE is fact" is not an actual fact (nor is it a fact the other way around).

    And I try to be informed on a subject before I post about it, saying you don't know anything about Christian's debut and then declaring the show you didn't watch crap is an uninformed opinion. And Christian's WWE return has been discussed in this week's ECW talkback.

    I actually liked Lance Hoyt. How many big men do you know who can do a moonsault, plancha and a coast to coast dropkick? Not to mention he used to guerilla press half the lightweights in TNA. I also loved his match with Monty Brown at the first Bound for Glory; they worked well together. I just don't get how a company can take a guy who the fans were chanting for and holding up signs that said 'Hoytamania' and then bury him so deep over the course of four years. How do you do that? Why? I've never read reports that he had a bad attitude or anything, so why did they job him out to Jarrett and put him in one of the worse gimmicked tag teams ever.

    Petey has the skill and ability to put on some classics in ROH, if he goes to WWE he will probably end up jobbing to someone who isn't even close to the skill level that he is, it wouldn't be good for him. ROH/Petey would be a match made in heaven.
