I know they have contracts to TNA but I was wondering if Tom can sign any of these stars. I know WWE is very tight on what their stars do but I figure TNA is not as tight since their stars wrestles on Indy Promotions too
Raven
Team 3D
Rhino
Abyss
Sting
AJ Styles
Kurt Angle (got some great matches in mind with other greats that Tom has out)

Hard to say. TNA does seem to be tightening thigns up a bit, but they might see it as some extra publicity. We'll just have to wait and see.

I suggested to Tom, and if I remember, he thought it was a good idea.... That he should work out a deal with TNA and that TNA could advertise their monthly PPV's on the main page of the website (like a banner you see on a few of the websites) in exchange for having some of the TNA guys in Legends Example from PWInsider.com  The way I saw it, it was a win win situation on both parts. TNA could get some free advertising, while Legends fans could get some great new stars. Tom said he knew some in TNA management and said he may run it across them. |

A TNA LOW set would be my favorite Filsinger product ever. EVER. I would buy five of them just on principle.

If it weren't for the wife to stop me, I'd probably start selling off my possessions to fund the printing of a ROH set.  |

I'd love to get a Shark Boy card.
I also think it would be a good deal as it would be a great way to get access to some great talent like Sting, Jarrett, the Steiners and Angle.

If it weren't for the wife to stop me, I'd probably start selling off my possessions to fund the printing of a ROH set. In all honesty, it's not that expensive to print them out. I use 67lb cardstock, which runs me about $9 for 250 sheets of cardstock. That runs about .036 per page. I sell my Memphis Legends for $4 for the 1st 2 sets and here is how I break it down. Unfortunetly, one of the drawbacks on our computer at work, I can only print out 2 cards per page, which stinks. Because of the rollers on our good printer, it would cut off around half of the sides if I tried to print out four on a page. For the 1st set of Memphis, there are 25 cards (2 on a page, plus the JImmy Hart interference chart which I only factor in for .018p). That makes 12 sheets. Plus one page for the Special Matches. The second set has 7 pages. So if you add this up, that's 20.5 pages, which runs me about .75 cents. It's around $2 for shipping, plus some added cost for the ink I have to use (which gets expensive) So if anyone was wondering how I factor things in.. |

No offence Travis, but I was reading your post and couldn't help but notice that you are taking credit for some one elses idea about Tom working with TNA with mutual benefits, in these posts under "Tom, have you considered..., Sgt, havoc stated this, I just wanted to point that out, I just get bothered when someone takes credit for someone elses ideas.
Here is the post and date...

I agree but it wouldn't hurt to ask, I mean Tom's been in business a long time but any company needs exposer and if TNA does agree that would be a huge step forward for Tom and his company, any with Vince buying up all these wrestlers sooner or later he going to be very limited to wrestlers he can sign, remember some guys just say no when their not with Vince so If Tom can approach TNA about something with them agreeing to him doing some of their roster and his having advertising for TNA on his site it would be something to consider and with any company that is competing with the WWE I'm sure they'll like any kind of exoser especilly from a site that has as many wrestling fans as Tom's does. So it can be mutual for both sides Tom gets the wrestlers and TNA get free exposer at a wrestling site that has alot of fans.

You know, I’m really glad you went out of your way to be a real smart ***, saying I’m lying and spending your time finding old posts to “prove me wrong”. Did it occur to you that maybe someone else could have had the same idea!? And if this other person said it before me, I’m really sorry I didn’t search through every single post to make sure no one had ever suggested this to Tom before. Heaven forbid on my part. I know I have no life and have close to 4,000 posts, so I should have really thought to double check every single post before even suggest that to Tom. The nerve of me! And I don’t remember if I even suggested it to him in a post, through a PM or e-mail. I don’t even remember if it was before or after August 28, 2005. I’ll leave that for you to find out. Spell check… |

I am pretty sure that most would. TNA has some serious star power that most would love to have in their fed. It is really more a matter of whether Tom is able to connect with the right people within TNA.

I would love this as much as the next guy, but I can't really see it being worthwhile for TNA... Small as they are, there's WAY bigger than Filsinger Games...for some sort of official TNA product to happen, either Tom would have to pay licensing far greater than he likely would be interested in, or, simply give TNA the right to use the system to do it through their own merchandising people (which I wouldn't think would be good for Filsinger Games at all)
I can't see TNA agreeing just for cross-promotion.. there's only a few hundred of us regulars, after all.
RoH, on the other hand, might be feasible.. they're just fringe enough to maybe make it worth while...

I've actually always wondered why there weren't more of the ROH guys in LOW. Granted, most of them don't really qualify as "legends," maybe, but if Corino fits, then Bryan Danielson surely does. |

Post by Wildfire on Oct 17, 2006 19:16:26 GMT -5
Perhaps when Tom checks this thread he'll answer..
I'd bet the RoH guys would mostly agree, if the can (Not sure how the ones that also work TNA would be)

Mark T talked with Shark Boy at an indy card, and from what I remember, he liked and knew about the game, but something about his likeness and contract with TNA, plus I believe, the ongoing lawsuit with the SharkBoy movie. Steiners...hmmmm...maybe one in the future if all works out |
