He's scheduled to fight Bobb Sapp in June.
Can he still do that now he's employed by TNA?

Because he's got enough charisma to pull it off, unlike Randy. It could be awesome if done right but then again it's WWE. Personally I'd like to see him built slowly as a face that still has heel tendancies and once Orton hopefully gets the title, Edge will be the one to stop him. Maybe at 'maniawhich would be awesome
I don't doubt that, but he's an infinitely better heel than he is a face - he could hardly break out of the Intercontinental midcard the last time he was a face.
Better yet, he was even booed in his freaking hometown when he was IC champ during that run, such was the fans' dislike for his character.

He's come so far from then though but it's true he just cant be a goody two shoes face. He'd have to be an anti-hero character.

HHH became a crowd pleaser after all the **** he used to get up to.

If London wants to have any thing less than a nightmare of an Olympic Games in 2012 then they better start working on their infrastructure and specifically their roads today. Traffic there is worse than awful.

I just wanted to know what they are like as i've only ever been to Raw and Smackdown televised events the event in October is a House show so I just wanted to know what differences there are
*Do they still have the Trons/Pyros etc....? if yes Before the event starts do they still show all the adverts and video packages to pump up the crowd?
*Do they last longer than the Televised shows?

I've been to three. As KKLEIN says, no trons, vastly reduced pyro (you still get some but nothing particularly fancy). As for the event starting, it's basically a case of them dimming the lights when the ring announcer gets in the ring to introduce the first match and it begins, again nothing fancy. Length-wise, in my experience they generally last around 2.5 hours or thereabouts, not including the intermission in the middle of the show.
Quite incredible. Jim Ross is practically on the verge of having a heart attack, the crowd are going insane...
Nobody can provide these moments any more - TNA simply don't have a crowd big enough for a start. And the current WWE crowds couldn't give two gooseberry fools.
