Glad your decision to go paid off mate. Agree with everything there, although I will say that guys like Pope and Mr Anderson strike me as better performers now then they were in WWE, so although I would agree TNA have signed a few that you could class as rejects, some such as these two have actually progressed since moving from WWE to TNA, so it's WWE's loss with these kinda guys.

Agree regarding Anderson and Pope.Anderson is one of few wrestlers (TNA and WWE) that is actually very good and natural on the mic.
Just quickly looked through the roster on the TNA website (not up to date, i dont think) but theres over 60 wrestlers on it! You could cut that in half easy, and really develop the story lines on the tv shows.

p.s why have they brought Scott Steiner back
Yeah fair dues about the roster, probably something we'll see as they continue trying to cut costs.
God knows, presumably because Russo's a fan of his (judging by the push he give him in WCW).
Really looking forward to Royal Rumble tommorow (watching it live at a mate's ). 17 years since I saw a guy by the name of Diesel break onto the scene and kick a$$ in the Rumble. C'mon Nash, make it happen one more time.

Booker T and Kevin Nash will both be in the Royal Rumble.
I would expect a HHH return as well, not 100% on that one though.
Had heard that both of those were likely.
Anyway, taken from WWE.com, the current list of RR entrants
1) Alberto Del Rio 2) Big Show 3) Chris Masters 4) CM Punk 5) Daniel Bryan 6) Darren Young 7) David Hart Smith David Otunga 9) Drew McIntyre 10) Ezekiel Jackson 11) Heath Slater 12) Husky Harris 13) Jack Swagger 14) John Cena 15) John Morrison 16) JTG 17) Justin Gabriel 18) Kane 19) Kofi Kingston 20) Mark Henry 21) Mason Ryan 22) Michael McGillicutty 23) Primo 24) R-Truth 25) Rey Mysterio 26) Santino Marella 27) Sheamus 28) Ted DiBiase 29) Tyson Kidd 30) Vladimir Kozlov 31) Wade Barrett 32) William Regal 33) Yoshi Tatsu 34) Zack Ryder
So taking Booker T and Nash both appearing for certain, that's still 4 open spots in the Rumble. Be interested to see who else comes through the curtain.
