Still cann't believe that Randy Savage came and left TNA so quickly. I never even got to see him on there. They really could of used a big name like the Macho Man, I think if they had him, Big Poppa Pump, Goldberg, and Sid Vicious it would turn the league around and make them a lot stronger, kinda like when WCW blew up. And for every one of them they sign, they could drop 2 lightweights, I say good deal, still cann't stand watching the lightweights, they have no reason to be in Wrestling, the only exception ever was Rey Mysterio, Little Beaver, and the Haiti Kid.
Heard Gorgeous George may be joining TNA, Macho's old girlfriend in WCW and in real life.

Randy Savage was in terrible shape and I do not blame TNA management for not wanting to put their title belt on him because it would have made them a laughing stock!

He might have made for some good entertainment when you think short-term, but I don’t think it would have helped TNA any long-term. I was reading about him in the PWI Wrestling Annual the other day and it was talking about how they paid him major $$$, but he constantly threatened to walk out. At Victory Road, the first monthly ppv, he threatened to walk out because Hulk Hogan was backstage. At Turning Point they put together a “kidnapping” to keep him from appearing until the final match was almost over, because they didn’t believe he was very reliable. On top of all of that, he walked out of Impact tapings 2 days later because he didn’t like TNA’s future plans for him and the plans for a Jarrett-Savage match for Final Resolution had to be scrapped. Sorry, but he wasn’t acting very professional in any of these situations and I think it could have actually hurt TNA for him to have stuck around. I like him, but business-wise this was probably the best thing for TNA. I like lightweights... why don't you, Iceman?? What, do you think you have to be a big muscle-head to kick somebody's @$$? j/k

Well I think they were lucky to get a star like Randy Savage, just like they were lucky to briefy have Roddy Piper there, and almost Hogan, having any of those 3 would help them grow greatly to get people to watch TNA. That's why they did pay him the big money, they knew he was worth it. Macho Man simply wanted a title in TNA which he deserved, and they didn't want to give it to him, their loss.
Sorry, lightweights just aren't my style, I don't want to watch people my weight wrestling on TV, they are not that good, why not me instead then, lol, it's like watching little kids, save that stuff for high school or college wrestling, not on tv when you want to see Stars.
Rey Mysterio was tight in ECW though, him and Sabu were probably the best at flying outside of the ring and even into the crowd against their opponents, that's Hardcore. The Haiti Kid was pretty cool when he wanted a hair cut like Mr.T and also when he wrestled Jimmy Hart in a 6-Man Tag Match.

Yeah, it would of been pretty sweet seeing Macho Man back on telly wrestling or in some managerial role. He would of boost ratings for sure by attracting the old school fans of today! But i think when Hogan was backstage at TNA a few months back. That influenced Macho's Decision to leave! Ooooohhhhhhh YYYeeeeaaaahhhhhh!! lol
