[theassassin3214]

bang bang

[plymouth9629]

any 1 notice most of tna wrestlers keep going back to REAL MONEY,aka wwe

[rockysbigfan]

lol undertaker chants on TNA

[JGladden1989]

Angle is now a Heel and I noticed they booed HBK , Cena , Cheered Undertaker and Didn't Really give a Reaction to Edge and Booed Cena and Didn't also say anything when he Said Triple H

[JGladden1989]

Angle is now a Heel and I noticed they booed HBK , Cena , Cheered Undertaker and Didn't Really give a Reaction to Edge and Booed Cena

[wwefantrouble]

@JGladden1989 TNA SUCKS MORE than it can

[jeffkav425]

tna sucks

[jdelajfari1615]

can mick foley really say all those wwe names on tna tv? i thought it would be a copyright problem.

[TheBlackScyth]

@jdelajfari1615 he is Mick Foley, he can do what he wants.

[XhoowieX]

Did TNA always mention WWE guys so much back then? Seems weird now...

[theshakter]

Kurt needs to go heel again lol

[wwefantrouble]

Vince just buy TNA and turn the WWE into TV-14!!!!!!!!

[wwefantrouble]

@wwefantrouble U know what never mind just take the tna roster instead

[wwefantrouble]

Why does the wwe and tna act like nothing has happened between them in the past! Tna act like they r better cuz they rn't they were so poor they could only offord good wrestler from the wwe instead of finding new talent!! Aj styles, mick foley, hogan, bishoff, rvd, the hardys,angle, and that really pisses me off!!So tna can go to hell!!!

[Spenlard]

@wwefantrouble

You're dumb.

[akiradoe]

Wow I stopped watching WWE years ago, but how BAD is TNA...

[WrestlingTrons863]

Whatever happened to iMPACT! being replayed on Saturday mornings?

[kimblev1]

For the biggest acquistion in TNA history he didn't make as big as an impact as you would think with that statement.

[abhishek2du]

tna sux

[WrestlingTrons863]

@abhishek2du WWE also sucks, my friend.

[TheBlackScyth]

Whoah you can't say that on television lol

[justinhighest]

His very first line was a jab at Cute Kip yo. Months later, Foley would return to the ring against Cute Kip. Just like the irony there, his TNA run has been an absolute joke.

[RedRooooster]

TNA hahahahahahaha

[TheRatedrko12]

thumbs up if JR from WWE should come over to TNA to comentate

[codebreaker212p]

@TheRatedrko12 hell no!!

[TheRatedrko12]

@codebreaker212p why not?

[codebreaker212p]

@TheRatedrko12 because he's fine where he is, why would he go to TNA, what would the point be?

[TheRatedrko12]

@codebreaker212p cuz they always abuse him in WWE for example:he kissed McMahons ass and then he got attacked mutiple times in the ring and and the worst of all he had to kiss michael coles feet!!

[codebreaker212p]

@TheRatedrko12 he's been with them for nearly 20 years, if it was that bad he would have left already.. its not like TNA could do any better with him cause they couldnt..

[TheRatedrko12]

@codebreaker212p hmm i guess ur right

[rankers54]

@xXMaidenVnaXx dude the angle theme with the u suck chants were epic

[cidudefive]

foley broke the golden rule of tna,thou shall not speak the name of john cena in tna

[FutureShock32]

Undertaker *Clap,Clap,Clap* Undertaker! :)

[FutureShock32]

Undertaker *Clap,Clap,Clap* Undertaker! :)

[rankers54]

wwe angle theme>tna angle theme

[TheRatedrko12]

@rankers54 yea i loved saying u suck when he entered the ring

[MahnmutEndymion]

@Nhojekim I've been watching wrestling since before you were born probably and let me tell you that even though you don't want it to be true and Mick Foley doesn't want it to be true he never would have made it to where he is today without Taker, Austin, Rock or Triple H. They only PPV's he headlined were against those guys and whether you realize it or not you have always paid your money to see them fight him not to see him fight them. Don't get mad at me because your hero isn't what he says.

[AmErWwF]

2:04I always see that guy on blue shirt

[wajatekat]

Bluach!!! TNA makes me puke. No matter what I'm loyal to WWE PG or Non PG

[guy2008rules]

@wajatekat, dude look at TNA 2005 and 2006. The X division pwns what ever is on wwe today.

[TheBlackScyth]

@wajatekat you can put up with that PG era garbage? pathetic

[Takerfan57]

Say what you want, but in my eyes Foley is nothing more than a stuntman.

Just my opinion. Don't flame.

[1983ACARTER]

@Takerfan57 All wrestlers are

[s1march]

@Takerfan57 rick flair is that u?

[therrydicule]

@Takerfan57 Not flaming, but I will say you don't know a lot about stunt. A stuntman need physical fitness and acting skills. Because of that, most stuntman are martial artist! So, we could point out 2 thing: 1.Wrestling is a martial-art - That catch-wrestling with grappling, pinning and submission: making it an art similar to Judo!

2. Acting? Wait, how many wrestler have been movies actor? More than that, they work these line, no?

Basically, all pro-wrestler in WWE&TNA are "also" stuntman ;)

[Takerfan57]

@therrydicule

I know, what I meant by my comment was that - in my opinion - Foley had almost nil wrestling talent, and earned most of his fame doing glorified stunts (such as being thrown off the cell vs. Undertaker).

But that's just my opinion.

[therrydicule]

@Takerfan57 Well, Foley is far from Kurt Angle in pure wrestling talent... He would probably not get through the first round in the olympic judo tournament... But, he is not that bad - there is worst than him on the technical level. One problem do, hard to believe he is in top shape...

Speaking of The Hell in a (and on the) Cell was something else... The first fall on the table was planned and a stunt, the second fall through the cage was not (that was an accident).

[Takerfan57]

@therrydicule

I know about the Cell accident. But I mean that most of the time, his wrestling abilities (what he has of them) are overshadowed by the fact that he is constantly doing crazy and life-endangering stunts (more dangerous than just normal mat wrestling at least).

I will admit I do like him as an entertainer though.

[dudewhatsmypass]

YOU SOLD OUT!!!!

[bull23abbon]

foley for life!!!

[usuckmoron]

ew mick has to use a different theme

[guy2008rules]

@usuckmoron, of course. WWE owns the rights to his former theme.

[WARMAKER1814]

"whoa you can't say that on television!"

[RichXbox360]

in WWE, Foley was friends with HHH, otherwise he would never have gone above midcard, like Sheamus nowadays.

[therrydicule]

@RichXbox360 No, that was a different time... When he came in WWE, that was in 1996, HHH was a new kid being pushed up - D-Generation X was not existing yet and HHH was suppose to win king of the ring (he was supposed to win king of the ring at the place of Stone Cold but this push been refused...).

Foley at that time was already a "star", having been in ECW, SMW, IWA, FMAW, WCW, NWA, CWA...And having done some unrelated work for the ChildFund International and against physical abuse.

[Endgame81]

@RichXbox360 what a dumb thing to say, coming fom someone who clearly doesnt know shit.

not only was foley a main eventer long before hhh, he was a main eventer well before he started seeing his future wife. take off the tin foil hat pal.

[MahnmutEndymion]

Mick Foley sucks. He is a hypocrite he is arrogant. He never drew a dime in his life without someone to make him look good

[Nhojekim]

@MahnmutEndymion You could have saved some time with your post by just stating that you don't know what you are talking about.

[WARMAKER1814]

Have a Nice Day. Bang Bang!

[losmixteadosdelnorte]

in his book he says he hated wcw and he became famous in the the ecw/wcw i love mick but he's kind of a hypocrite considering tna is the new wcw

[Azure701]

Kurt's smug smile at 9.08, priceless, he's not just the best wrestler but the funniest actor too.

[SlipJonnY]

dilmobil, it's because WWE/Vince McMahon owns the rights to the original music, names, probably their hairstyles too if they can!

[stegyboi]

its beacause the wwe have the copyrights of their theme songs its nt really theirs its the wwe

[tylerhuddleston]

does kurt have a mole on top of his head or birthmark on his head

[firstcowtails]

vince made this man like everyone else in tna, fucking back stabbers

[South817side]

because vince owns there wwe music

[lumleyphillip8675309]

At least Mick respects where he came from unlike other wrestlers.

[fighter0077]

i hate tna kurt angle is better in wwe

[micky77mc]

@fighter0077 although kurt angle left wwe 5 years ago so if he ws in wwe now he would be the same

[fighter0077]

@micky77mc true true

[MrCharisma07]

TNA is WWE

[killerclam57]

@MrCharisma07 hahaha its really not

[TBSful]

tna talking about wwe ?  well wee should also talk about tna

[razzlefrazzle123]

Angle makes a good heel 

[chiyuubi]

Are they saying Undertaker in the crowd?

[sledgehammer1994]

what i wanna know is why mick was allowed to say the copyrighted names on television like that. even road dogg/b.g. james and billy gunn/kip james werent allowed to say triple h and shawn michaels, they called them by there real names. does someone know what happened here?

[SimplyPhenomenal7]

this lil era was better than wot we have now in tna.

[letzteversion]

Is it true that Mick worked for smaller wrestling companies for free? I love that man. Have a nice day, Mr Foley!

[Awesome2theM4x]

i like his new theme just as much as his old tbh

[Pilaf1984]

@dilmobil - some theme didn't make people like Mick Foley famous. Their work ethic, personality and heart made them famous.

[robbanhacker]

mick foley fore ever <3

[OCcrazy1]

don west got replaced by taz

[neverwinter9]

Music is own by WWE DUMBASS !!!!!!

[hardcoreocealot]

isnt foley the only man to hold titles in wcw ecw wwe/f and tna

[xXBMXEMOXx]

I really want a Foley Shirt...

[MrRandleini01]

greatest acquisition in tna history haha pmsl

If tna wants to succeed then they should stop mentioning wwe on there programming duhhhh

[Eugene007440]

I hate TNA dialog it makes no sense.. It goes from one theme to another in one conversation..

[Fj3]

@Eugene007440 hahah lol it does sometimes.

[YIsEvryonePickinOnMe]

TNA got a .8 last monday. WWE should be shitting themselves.

[wwesherrie]

true i prefer tna 2 wwe now i used 2 love wwe now im glued 2 wwe cuz way more interesting people eg rvd hardy sting

[wwesherrie]

i mean tna

[aslator]

Lol at Undertaker chants, If undertaker made the switch from wwe to Tna to replace hogan, Tna ratings will surpass monday night botch cena.

[TBSful]

@aslator no taker would never do that  he knows tna sucks and tna made a parody of the Montreal screwjob c'mon ? that event wasn't scripted and bret got really pissed off

[TheStingerhawk]

mick foley tna's greatest signing? not!!! sting was!!!!!

[TRIGMASTER06]

How can mike tenay say that with a straight face, mick foley tna's greatest signing? i know it was storyline but cmon lol.

[princesstamika]

@TRIGMASTER06 Were you watching wrestling during 97-99? Mankind/Mick was just all over the place, almost as much as the Rock and Austin. And he's had tons of crossover success few wrestlers can say they had.

[TRIGMASTER06]

97-99 of course i was watching if tna was around then and foley had joined them then yes he would of been biggest signing, but are you telling me when foley joined TNA u had the same reaction to the first time u saw kurt angle appear on the TNA screen and say its real its damn real?

[princesstamika]

@TRIGMASTER06 Yes and no. It's not like Mick is still a full time active wrestler like Kurt and every one already knew the announcing gig wasn't working out.

[sauron9990]

I love how people started chanting "What?" after Kurt's lines...attitude era moment right there

Foley is over the hill. Vince gave him so many opportunities in WWE.

I wish Kurt was still in WWE. Love how Cena got boo'd more than HHH

[Endgame81]

@sauron9990 Foley is a legend dude, and that hill everyone goes over at some point.

The reason he got all those opportunitys is because he was so damn popular, gimmie an over the hill mick foley instead of john cena any day

[edcasabonne]

@Endgame81: John Cena and Mick Foley are both great wrestlers and artists, but the difference between them is that Mick Foley was always the character portrayed as crazy and memorable, while Cena remains to be the supposed force fro good. Sompletely different images, though both great men.. If uou want to see and example of Foley.. look up Foley vs. Triple H at WWF... and Cena has quite a few himself..

All in all however I have to give the upper hand to Mick Foley.. What an image this man has

[Endgame81]

@edcasabonne if the day ever comes where john cena cuts a good promo that isnt pre scrpted, then ill give him some credit, untill then hes a cheap 5 moves of doom hulk hogan light that survives almost completely off the love of kids who cant tell a wrist lock from a wet fish

[TheTHEHULK0]

THEHULK0 says shut the fuck up bitch!

[Endgame81]

@TheTHEHULK0 im sowwy, did i hurt your wittle feewings? poor wittle keyboard warrior, you'll feel better soon i promise, lolololol

[TheTHEHULK0]

hey Endgame81 im not a little kid you sob! so shut your mouth!

[Endgame81]

@TheTHEHULK0 your petulant insults say otherwise little boy

[TheTHEHULK0]

ShUt Up! 

[Endgame81]

@TheTHEHULK0 whats with the capital U in the word shut?? is this some kind of infantile fad that is going on on the internet? or are you just retarded?

[darknessrising999]

Lol are you serious Mick? How many titles did you hold in the wwe? You are old now and washed up what more did you expect? No worries here though when the wwe buys out tna you will be back in the wwe just like Kurt Angle. Vince made you Mick Foley without him you would be nothing so you should respect him a little more.

[Endgame81]

@darknessrising999 lmao, the wwe doesnt care about TNA, its offering no real competition. so why on earth would they buy them out? and really, do you take everything a wrestler says as gospel, its all fodder to get the fans worked up

Foley Is God, have a nice day!

[BleedingPhantom829]

@Endgame81 I agree. Bang Bang!

[beilmandulin]

Vince did not make Mick Foley. Foley was kickin ass in ECW way before he was in the WWF

[SileX84]

@beilmandulin and Vince didn't told Mick to jump over the steel cage. Twice! Vince didn't write his books. The people love Foley, Austin, The Rock cause their characters are almost the same with their real personality. A wrestler creates his own career. Of course he needs a push, but only when it's good. With little exceptions in the history of professional wrestling.

[guitarheroproman]

mick is old

[dilmobil]

i fuckin hate it when every1 goes to tna and they get rid of their theme music that has made them famous and you know who is coming out, now when the music comes on i dont kno who the fuck is comin out. Anyone help and tell me why??

[rockmanmegamanfan]

They can't get their old theme song because it's copyright .

[ADYG9]

@dilmobil yh tna cant leggaly use his wwe theme

[Ninorey123]

@dilmobil Theme music belongs to the people who made it and usually its the company that they become famous in.

[rackmors]

@dilmobil First of all the music does not make a wrestler famous the wrestler makes the wrestler famous and when some from WWE comes to TNA they have to change their music cause WWE copyrights mostly everything about its wrestlers

[dcp93]

@dilmobil Because WWE has copyrights on those songs

[4rk31d]

@dilmobil Perhaps when they signed the contracts with WWE they gave the rights to the WWE... alteast thats what I think...

[jubjubcat]

@dilmobil ussally wwe copyrighted their music

[edaaaaaaaaarz]

@dilmobil because theme songs is WWE property

[beilmandulin]

@dilmobil it's the same reason they have to have a different gimmick or different wrestling name if they don't use their real name. The other company (WWE I assume) owns it. Both the theme and the gimmick. I'm pretty sure. Is that what you are asking?

[FRiiKOable]

@dilmobil their theme music is wwe property therefore tna cant use it. :)

[FRiiKOable]

@dilmobil their theme music is wwe property therefore tna cant use it. :)

[wholefnshow1]

because the WWE copyrights their music you idiot. tna just sucks at making good music themselves.

[Lancewss]

@wholefnshow1 You're an idiot....

[wholefnshow1]

pretty sure you're the idiot. go dance naked to aj styles music while you look in the mirror and pose you thunder cunt.

[Lancewss]

@dilmobil I believe most of music is trademarked(WWE). Cuz I believe they got producers, and music writers too.

[fundyspokerblog]

@dilmobil Because their WWE theme music is owned and copyrighted by the WWE. They can't just take it with them. Really, the only one that's been allowed to have it no matter where they go is Randy Savage because obviously the WWE didn't write that music. lol

[beanz443]

@dilmobil Anyone who goes to TNA from WWE can't use their theme because it's WWE owned..

[Classje]

@dilmobil Copyrights ;)

[moshia25]

@dilmobil wwe owns dat so dey cant take it with dem duh

[PokemonTrainer87]

@dilmobil well WWE have copyrighted most of the themes that they used

[smudgeVIW]

@dilmobil...........Help and tell you why? lol i found it bit strange that you don't know it is because WWE own the music it is made by a WWE music employee and copywrote as WWE intellectual property and WWE are not going to sell it to competition just like lots of the Talents names E.G Mr Kennedy mow MR.Anderson. and about not reconising the themes i disagree you just need to watch more TNA

[RyanFromBako]

@dilmobil It's quite simple. WWE owns the music. The wrestler doesn't. The music you're used to is trademarked by the WWE.

[15041985]

@dilmobil I'm guessing TNA doesn't want to pay the music rights or can't but I agree that I also prefer to hear the old tunes

[antmbabey]

@dilmobil well if WWE trademarks there theme what do you expect TNA to do?

[Disfigure06]

@dilmobil its called copyright :)

[Sho81]

@dilmobil WWE holds the contracts to use the theme music with the label companies not the wrestlers. So if they leave it is a double whammy. They can be sued by WWE and the record labels. Just like Joanie Laurer doesn't hold the copyright to use her ring name Chyna. WWE does.

[ashleywheller]

@dilmobil its not there fault that fucking vince mcmahon copyrights everyones theme music

[adamthecailler1]

@dilmobil It's call copyright...

[countryatheart4]

@dilmobil It's because the WWE owns their theme music dude. TNA would get sued if they used it

[99mag3r99]

@dilmobil Jim Johnston (composer for WWE's theme music) probably copyrighted it, for use in WWE only. Same with names (Team 3D, prime example).

They need to bring back the titantron videos, and replace them with these stupid text-on-background 'trons.

[Broub3]

@dilmobil WWE has the rights on the theme songs i believe.

[drmgiver]

@dilmobil Copyright issues.

[VoorkJTV]

@dilmobil what sucks even more is when people like mr kennedy have to fully change their name because wwe owns it

[bundybear666]

@dilmobil cos of copy right issus most of the time i think

[jgalleg0090]

@dilmobil cause WWE has all that stuff copywrote, alot of the music was made for them in WWE, and they legally can't use it. Duh.

[JeremyDX]

@dilmobil WWE owns all music,gimmick (Unless they own it them selves) or any other rights they have. That's why you see Mr. Kennedy as Mr. Anderson (His real last name). It sounds really stupid but its true. Mick Foley is his real name so He's allowed you use that but if he were to use the character "Mankind" He/TNA would have a law suit on his hands.Jeff Jarrett was pretty much a No name guy in WWF untill he had a tag team with Owen hart...After Owen died, so did Jeff's Career.

[sanddune]

@JeremyDX Jeff Jarrett was a multiple time Intercontinental Champion before he teamed with Owen.

[JeremyDX]

@sanddune he had it a few times but it really didn't matter about the Intercontinental...who would pay attention to Jeff Jarrett when they had wrestlers like Undertaker, Hogan, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart etc he didn't get shit really. Its like saying well Undertaker has been champ a dozen times but how many times out of the dozen did it last longer then a month.

[sanddune]

@JeremyDX Doesn't matter. You said he never achieved anything before Owen and was wrong. Besides the IC belt was a worker belt. So evidently the WWF thought enough of Jarrett to give him their worker belt, which meant a lot during his 1st run with the WWF.

[JeremyDX]

@sanddune Kinda does matter, who knew Jeff Jarrett during that era? no body really. No one cared if he was a "worker" champ. No one paid money to see him, he was just included in the show. They went to see the big names.

TNA is a company where they pay to see him because hes a big name in that company. Yea he might have got a break with the IC championship but it wasn't one of the biggest things to help his career.

[jmn1228]

@dilmobil alot of them had copyrighted music tna cant afford but wwe could

[sanddune]

@jmn1228 Couldn't afford? Where do you get that from?

[jmn1228]

@sanddune how else do you explain why all their theme songs are by no-name artists

[sanddune]

@jmn1228 I'm not really getting your point. Panda Energy owns TNA. It's a billion dollar comapany. Don't think they would have a problem affording popular musical themes. Besides I didn't realize Kane or John Cena's theme's were on the Billboard top 100.

[jmn1228]

@sanddune true dat. im just trying to find a legit reason, and i would think the best reason is they cant or dont want to spend the money on brand name songs

[tcuk]

@dilmobil Copyright issues. The theme music/in-ring names belong to WWE (and vice versa).

[RawHunterX]

@dilmobil Guess it's the copyrights, WWE owns them, just as they own the ECW logo and everything, and even some of the names of the wrestlers.

[JoeDawgJC]

@dilmobil umm because the music is copyrighted by WWE most of the time, and if you would watch TNA you would know who's coming out after a few episodes...

[FreeBirdKai]

@dilmobil cause WWE owns the rights to it unless your Ron Killings (R-truth) cause he owns his theme song

[Stobbzy89]

@dilmobil Because WWE owns the copyright of their theme music so TNA can't use it without their permission...quite simple really

[limey157]

@dilmobil Cos the WWE own the theme tunes. The wrestlers don't.

[theuniquemusic]

cena got the loudest boo when he was mentioned. taker got cheered .

[RickRomo]

I wouldn't be surprised if Hulk Hogan ultimately becomes the reason Kurt Angle leaves TNA... Hogan and his legendary politics...

[1guitarfreak4]

FUCKIN ads man

[nashfan19]

anyone else notice the undertaker chant in the back ground lol

[Pogue25]

How could Foley dis Vince. If it wasnt for Vince Foley wouldnt have amounted to anything

[prestruction]

they make everyone who goes to tna i remember christan talking about how wwe isnt entertanning

[madridjacker]

esto me hace entristeser ver como luchadores que alsaron la wwf/wwe le estan dando la espalda por eso la wwe esta cayendo por traicioneros

[jerichovna]

Traicioneros? Vince abuso de Mick, Mick fue censurado y utilizado por Vince.

Mick Foley se fue por sus propios terminos y un verdadero fanatico apoyaria a Mick Foley.

[L0n1d4s]

como cayo tan bajo Foley al irse a la TNA... eso ya es mendigar dinero xDD

[jerichovna]

Foley no cayo bajo, el simplemente le demostro a Vince que no era una marioneta.

[thetrophyone]

Top three wrestlers that made the WWF Attitude Era:

1. Steve Austin

2. The Rock

3. Mick Foley -Despite not being top dog, he was never cocky and was known for things other than talking on the mic, (The Rock) could actually wrestle (both Rock and Austin), and he had no problem putting over his opponent (Stone Cold walking out on Raw when he was supposed to lose to Brock Lesnar and didn't want to.) That's why Foley is still great despite not being the edgiest during wrestling's boom 10 yrs. ago.
