The guy is amazing and has been for years. Hopefully Cena doesnt squash him in within one PPV and kill his heat.

Please for the love of sweet jesus, don't resign him until he invests in a razor.

When was the last time you saw him? Nine years?

Wasn't impressed with him in New Japan, he's no Umaga, not looking forward to seeing this guy in the fed again

I think you are like the only person I've seen this morning at least to say this.

Maybe you saw his very early Japan work but for the past five years or more he has been one of more valuable members of the roster. He developed the personality he was lacking in WWE. I genuinely I dont what you think he is lacking. Just puzzled.

cena would bump like mad for him for 20 mins, lose the first ppv and then beat him in the rematch, hhh on the other hand would squash him within one ppv

Probably.. Not everyone spends 24/7 watching global wrestling promotions.

The word within TNA is that Rob Van
Dam will be back in their storylines
shortly. I haven't heard he's in Orlando today yet but it's expected he'll be back on TV shortly. Hopefully, the return will come with
the company using him in a more
prominent position as I can't
remember a time period (and I am
going back to 1996 here) where he
had been booked worse and meant less than he had been over the last
year in TNA. (Sigh)
Anyone else sick of No Job Bob at this stage.

I was sick of him after a few months. Was hoping TNA had realised he was a waste of money and had decided to get rid of him, along with Anderson but it appears the opposite has happened.

Out of curiousity, how many times has RVD lost cleanly (no interferences, no weapons, no ref bumps etc) in TNA? Easily countable on one hand I'd imagine, and that's with several fingers to spare. I honestly can't think of a match off hand.

Then why comment on something you know nothing about?

It was a throw-away comment. I didn't think so many people would be so serious about Prince Albert's back hair! Chris, some of you are so uptight.

gnfnrhead

He shaved within weeks of leaving and it hasn't been back as far as I'm aware. That was close to ten years ago. Would it have really been that hard to google him to see how he even looked nowadays?

Charisteas

He was in X-Factor so he'll always be a legend in my book.

If anyone else wants to see an X-Factor reunion, give me a Hell Yeah Uncle Kracker

Sigh.. I simply don't care whether he has back-hair or not. What part of throw-away comment don't you understand?

*added to ignore*

No need to get your handbag out.

Forgetting about the internet. Not like has been featured, covered or pictured in MONTHLY magazines and such like.

Edit: Ok saw the rest of your posts. For a throwaway comment you are getting very ratty here to the point of putting people on ignore. :eek:

This is the kind of thing that would be grand if it were people talking to each other, not anonymously posting on the net - the conversation would be settled in seconds, but what are ya gonna do. There's merit to both sides, but I do think that knowledge of anything outside WWE is not to be expected on a pro-wrestling board. Even TNA is relatively a niche market. I catch some indy & Japan stuff but I'd consider that far beyond the norm. In any case, I think everyone's getting a bit ratty about it, including me. Everyone's said their piece, now don't make any more snide comments towards each other.

(I'll also split this thread off into it's own thread)

jaykhunter

I dunno what people see in Albert; from his WWE days or NJPW matches, I don't get what I'm missing Big burly slow lad who's now 40, boring big-man promos, routinely has amongst the worst matches on the New Japan shows I watch. It's not like he magically turned into Umaga.

Pro-Albert guys, consider posting his best recent stuff for all to see, maybe change my mind about it?

Somebody call ma Tensai

JP Liz V1

He always seemed better to me as part of a tag team (in WWE anyways)

jaykhunter

Whipped this up for Tensai's new titantron :pac:

Charlie Haughy

Im so SO excited about this debut! More so than WRESTLEMANIA! WOO WEE CANT WAIT!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D

GTR63

Hope he isn't like Kenzo Suzuki 2.0 with a lazy stereotype gimmick

gnfnrhead

Are they REALLY going to pretend he was never there before? He's a former Tag Champion and I think IC Champion too!

Lord TSC

And he faced Taker at Mania. :P

Yes. Unless its "I went to the Orient a Train, and came back a Lord" kinda thing.
