Some of the dirt sheets are reporting that Kevin Nash been complaining that Taz sucks and wants him off the announcing team in favor of WCW alum Mark Madden. I agree that Taz is terrible on the announce team, but why Madden, why not bring back Don West?

Nash responded to these allegations on Twitter, in character: ""just found out i wanted Taz out and madden in. let me see dave meltzer. nash's christmas wish list.....more money for me, more money for me"

Didn't he also ask Hulk Hogan for a raise and nWo 4 Lyfe?

Supposedly Nash hasn't pushed for Scott Hall. The last time he tried to bring Scott in, he no showed a PPV. Scott is kind of a liability to Nash. Scott is like the friend you bring to someone's party who loads up on free beer, makes an ass out of himself, and then the next day everyone is talking about what an asshole YOU are for bringing him.

Hall is quite possibly in the top 5 guys who should've gotten the belt but never did. If it weren't for his habits, he might've had a shot. Hell even Last Call Scott Hall didn't even touch the surface of how many problems this guy has. That being said, outside of the HOF...I don't really want to see him back.

As far as Taz leaving? Nah...I like him. He's got a certain personality and calling style that I've grown accustom to over the years and would probably prefer him over everyone in WWE besides Striker. He's not nearly as overthetop as West was. I had to sometimes turn my Closed Captions on in order to understand ol' Don.

I can't believe I'm saying this but...I actually LONG for the days when Jarrett seemed to have full control over TNA.

Jarrett is coming back to TV, so hopefully that will give him so more creative control. Also, I don't know if Hogan is just talking the talk, but in nearly every interview he's done about TNA, he's said: "Fuck the writers, let these guys wrestle."

And that was what drew me to TNA back when they first got their TV deal, it was just guys wrestling and occasionally cutting promos. There were feuds, but there weren't ridiculous storylines like the Cody Deaner bullshit. If Hogan can bring them back to that, awesome.

Despite the fact that he's my favorite wrestler of all time, I think TNA started going downhill as soon as they got Kurt Angle.
