Allot of rumors I have heard say that Flair and RVD are coming too TNA on the 3 hour special.
Flair- I think is a good chance considering his recent partnership with Hogan
RVD- I doubt considering he is currently working for a portugul promotion and is their champion
What are your thoughts guys?

RVD working for a promotion in Portugal isn't really a factor mostly because a load of wrestlers have worked simultaneously internationally and in the US. Chances are RVD is still living in the US.
RVD could come I don't see why not, I mean guys like Team 3D and Tomko were still wrestling in Japan while with TNA
Wait...RVD's wrestling in Portugal? The weed in Portugal must be killer.
Doesn't Rikishi own a promotion in Europe?
He COULD come, but still, I am not seeing any signs that he will.
Ric Flair definitely has more of a chance then RVD, although personally I'd rather RVD.
Either way, if one of them come (which will most likely happen) then it means more viewers for TNA.

oh and Jack... :jointpasssmiley:
I know RVD has been talking to both WWE and TNA about coming back from interviews he's done with the press over here while touring with the Portugese promotion you guys mentioned.
From what he said I don't think WWE is an option for him just because of the schedule and how bad things ended with the whole 'rape of ECW's legacy.'
TNA has an easier schedule but I'm sure it's going to be a massive political black hole once Hogan arrives and if RVD couldn't handle the politics of WWE there's no way he will want to live through the kind of shit Hogan can pull!
Then again, if the money is good and he gets some provisions not to be fucked with he could very well end up in TNA - maybe for a short term contract or something.
RVD is a smart guy and from his interviews I don't think money is a problem for him.
As for Flair - I think that's pretty much a given as he signed a 3 year deal with Hogan and Bischoff. Especially considering he just got married for the 4 time and so will no doubt have a ton of money to pay for that divorce in 6 months!

Wouldn't be holding my breath on any of these rumours dude.

Anyway... I just heard about the RVD rumour tonight, and apparently Rob actually gets on pretty well with Hogan. Chances are, if he signed with TNA, he'd be in a good spot. It's no secret they've wanted to sign him for a while, but he wasn't interested in working a full-time schedule. With the tours he's been doing, it seems the wrestling bug has caught him again, and I wouldn't be surprised if he signed a deal with TNA to work a day or two a week for good money. Matches with AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels and Kurt Angle would all make money, I feel. Hell, he's even be great mixing it up with the X-Division crowd, elevating some of those guys and helping to bring the division back to the forefront of the promotion.
QuoteHulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff are said to be confident that Rob Van Dam and Ric Flair will wind up in TNA.
RVD is a name we keep hearing over and over.
I think this is a given now :)
I will be very happy to see RVD in the ring again :)

It's probably more likely now than it was three months ago. If this had come up during the Autumn, when WWE were in a bind for main event talent and desperate for someone to sell tickets, they might have thrown enough cash and made enough concessions to get RVD to come back. But now WWE are pushing a few guys like Kofi Kingston and Sheamus, and are perhaps a little calmer about the situation now.
TNA, meanwhile, is looking for those names that will give the company serious publicity. RVD gets on with Hogan, no doubt he likes Flair, he'd certainly enjoy the extra time at home that a TNA schedule would give him, plus he's practically guaranteed a high card spot if he signs. If RVD doesn't come in with Hogan, he'll probably arrive not long afterwards.
