Honestly, the whole "warning talent" doesn't bother me. Because, it makes sense but it would also make sense for them not to allow them to talk to ROH talent in public atleast. The thing that got me is the whole "piggybacking". TNA is in Orlando almost everyweek, they moved their shows around a few days to have their live iMPACT near Wrestlemania weekend to draw in more fans and diffrent fans. Ring Of Honor on the other hand is basically "piggy-backing" because they go where 'Mania goes unlike TNA who just moved their show down 2-3 days. That's it. I don't blame them not allowing them to talk to TNA talent but it should also be ROH talent. It should be neither, there is no point, i would have thought any wwe guy from jobber to the main event would see that the grass is no greener over there and would just blank any "approach" from TNA, socialising with TNA or ROH guys should just be normal, they are people not soldiers. |

ROH doesn't have a weekly TV show. If ROH got mentioned, nobody would take notice of ROH. If TNA got mentioned, people could watch the TNA show each week and that could lead to an increase in ratings. TNA is bordering on the edge of "mainstream" and ROH has a "cult" following. You realize that what you just described equals fear, right? If that's the reason, then it means WWE fears that TNA is nipping at their heel. If they felt like TNA isn't a threat and isn't close, then your reasoning is ridiculous. |

Hanging around with people who work for your competition(TNA is direct competition for the WWE) is different than hanging around with people from a small indy company. TNA and ROH are not on the same level.

It's not fear at all, It's WWE not wanting TNA to cling onto the fact that WWE superstars are well known and they're not. - I'm not saying TNA stars would intentionally be seen with WWE stars for the sake of getting noticed, we've all got friends. - I'm simply saying that a TNA superstar being seen with a WWE superstar, intentional OR un-intentional would get TNA noticed and that's something WWE doesn't want to happen. It's not fear, it's being smart about the publicity of their superstars. |

If Helms was there he would be screwed. He could go out in public with his girlfriend since she works for TNA.  |

what have wwe got to be afraid about?
that tna's god awful booking will rub off on them.
i'm sorry but this argument is being taken well out of hand. tna talent where told to stay from wwe talent. why? because they're two different companies and you don't want people within your company endorsing a rival company.
there's no fear there, just smart business.
you wouldn't see coke advertise pepsi, and vice versa. so why would wwe advertise tna by allowing their wrestlers to socialize and be seen at the other companies events?

Beeing seen at other companys events isn't what it's about. If you're walking down a road in Orlando and your a WWE superstar and you see TNA talent you're going to have to jump in a nearby garbage can because you can NOT been seen with TNA talent.

Honestly, I've been watching wrestling for 30 years, and I wouldn't recognize a ROG talent if they slapped me in the face. Maybe that's why they didn't bother to mention them.

See, Caz, you don't seem to understand how stupid your sentiment is. If WWE thinks that TNA guys being seen with WWE guys could possibly help TNA get more well known, it means that they're afraid that TNA could start competing with them.
That's the end of it. If you think WWE is doing this because they don't want TNA to start being watched more by the general public, then that means WWE thinks TNA is a possible threat. Sorry. That's how it is.
Now I'm not saying that's actually WWE's reason for this, but if it's your reason, then that's what you're saying.

Who cares? Jarrett isn't allowing TNA talent to attend the Hall Of Fame. Now it's even. Who really gives a crap about this stuff? Get a life, seriously.
Geez.

Business is business, if you owned a company you wouldn't want your employees to be socializing with the company with the same business because thats just wrong, so I totally understand WWE doing this

LOL I can't believe the way WWE act, it's pathetic.
They act like they're too big to care and then they fear TNA wrestlers talking to their own talent?
Heard nothing like it.

TNA is the farthest thing from a threat. Id say in five years (if they havent gone out of business) that theyd be striving to get the ratings WCW had...................................in 2000.
