Former WWE Jobber Headed to TNA?

TNA has apparently been looking all over the place for fresh blood recently, and have mainly been seeking out big name stars from the last several years. But it appears they have turned their attention to a former WWE jobber, rather than big name. The company is apparently in pursuit of Ricky Ortiz. Ortiz has been accepting bookings ever since his release from the WWE back in August, but hasn't wrestled many matches. One appearance he did make shortly after leaving WWE, was on World Wrestling Council, where his character and look had been drastically changed. TNA has apparently been showing interest over the past couple of weeks, and have been considering offering a contract.

   TNA has about 70 wrstlers and they barely use half. So there really IS no point.

   I agree. And with Hogan coming in January, there will be less spots for those already at the bottom of the barrel.

   Honestly, I used to enjoy Ricky Ortiz back in ECW... His Gimmick sucked, but his wrestling was alright. For the record, he wasn't a jobber when he left, he was a mid carder... HUGE difference... He actually won a fair few matches...
   As far as TNA is concerned, I used to like it. In the past few months, however, their programming has been lacking many things. Eric Bischoff is a total wanker, and he did completely screw WCW out of a future, but I did enjoy him in WWE as GM of RAW. He was a character who you loved to hate, and he played the part well. Bischoff kissing Stephanie = EPIC.
   Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone

    wwe is practicly comiting suicide with some of the stuff they are pulling and it looks like tna might be going down that road two.

    Bischoff and hogan bancrupted wcw along with aquiring huge contracts from hurt wrestlers like bret "hitman" heart..TNA has a good talent base but i agree most of it is unused..Suicide ia a Bad joke from a video game not a wrestler..lmao..i can believe anyone could even see him as anything but a joke..I hate the corporate execs at WWE and i wish someone could give them a run for there money like WCW did in the 90's
