Rob Van Dam
- TNA officials are "fuming" mad over the fact that SpikeTV posted the Tweet confirming Rob Van Dam's signing with the company according to ProWrestling.net.

TNA wanted RVD's debut with the company to be a surprise, and did not want to announce it before this Monday's live iMPACT broadcast, but after hearing the interview that Hulk Hogan did where he hinted at RVD signing with TNA, Spike officials jumped the gun and confirmed RVD's contract signing.

LOL They messed up. I bet Hogan just wanted to hint at it, not release a full fledged announcement. Funny stuff. Twitter does more harm than good in the wrestling industry. Muahahaha.

Spike TV did the smart thing by telling everyone that RVD sign with TNA, now TNA can score a 1.5 or maybe a little bit more. TNA be grateful that Spike TV told the news to everybody because if they don't you probably get a typical 1.1 to 1.3 rating This Monday.

Like Iv'e said before, I dont really care about RVD, he cant cut a promo, and the talk of him coming to TNA got old 2 years ago. But I just bet you inside of a year he will be world champion seeing as how thats what happens to all ex-WWE stars when they come to TNA

I got alot of time for you buddy, but that is a terrible approach for a wrestling fan!

If you like RVD, then watch the parts he's on, then flick over when Hogan is on... simple...

How the fu## is he that? Think about Rey, Edge, Batista and a few others before you make such a dumb statement!


 tna moving to mondays worst move ever same mistake wcw made going head to head with wwe. thery shoulda stayed on thursdays.

WCW moved to mondays and changed Pro Wrestling forever. Did you forget the way they almost put WWF out of business? Did you forget the biggest angle in history? Moving to mondays was the making of them but bad management was their downfall, not going head to head with WWF.... check your history before posting such bollocks!
