She wears a shit ton of makeup on camera. She looks just as good, if not better, without it.

That's astounding!

That's a facial expression Rusev has never shown before. that puts the total up to... 2.

Might be done with TNA by then since his contract ends later this year.

Didn't he just come back a couple weeks ago? I think maybe it's time for him to give it up as an in ring competitor. He'll make an awesome authority figure or manager.

Yeah. Should have been done a lot sooner but kept getting delayed because of both him and TNA.

He foolishly kept wanting to work through the injury while TNA couldn't afford loosing Angle's star power during the AJ/Sting situations and after both guys left.

That guy could print money if he's booked right. Hell, all three moves featured in that gif could be solid finishers for him. I am on team Kalisto.

Because of this recent obsession with big men dropping "unneccessary" parts from their names. Rusev, Cesaro, and no more Langston for Big E. They'll likely do this more for no real reason because WWE marketing.

It kind of reminds me of once upon a when, and they started putting everyone's "nicknames" in the middle of their name unilaterally (For example, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase became Ted "The Million Dollar Man" Dibiase, or Randy "The Macho Man/King" Savage, etc.,) simply because they felt like it.

Just have him come to WWE and *officially* hand the gimmick off to Jack Swagger. :shifty:

Then, have Zeb Coulter recruit adopt another guy or two to mold into another racist xenophobe to battle the American Hero Jack Swagger.

It may be as simple as this;

Is it easier to chant Antonio Cesaro, or Cesaro? How about Big E or Big E Langston?

The WWE isn't ran by retards, everything they do has a reason or purpose.

Now whether or not those reasons are retarded is a matter of opinion.

Yeah, makes it easier to chant....

I mean look at Stone Cold Steve Austin.... fans had no idea what to chant.... if they had changed his name to just Austin, it would have been much easier....

Bad News Barrett is so lucky to get to stand next to Paige.

I'm not sure who I have the bigger no-homo man crush on: Bo Dallas or Adam Rose.

Is the George Steele one any good?

I wish I didn't pick up the glitched version of no mercy

George is very well spoken. It's pretty good.

The ones to avoid are Honky Tonk Man, Brutus Beefcake who are both full of it and Barry Windham who is very dry. Venis and Rikishi are boring and im surprised Rikishi didnt try and blow himself.

Nash, Cornette, Superstar Billy Graham, Bruno Sammartino, X Pac, Roddy Piper, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Larry Zbyzsko and Greg Valentine'S are all great. Ivory'S and Russo's are good and Vader'S is decent.

Bret Hart is doing a WWE 1994 and Cornette is doing WCW 1988 coming soon.

Got hold of the Steele one, Shane Douglas doing ECW '94 I think and Al Snow booking the Attitude Era.

Did Dory and Terry Funk have heat with other? Probably should use the Q&A thread but just saw it mentioned on the Shane Douglas timeline and was curious.

Consider the source. Shane is another one who stretches the truth.

He hasn't been that bad so far. He just sort of mentioned it in passing, saying they were off with each other backstage or whatever. Figured if it was anything 'serious' it'd be well known.

Dirtsheets:

Kalisto impressed me on NXT this past week. Made me mark out like when I first saw Tajiri. He's small even for a small guy, but there's an energy there that I like. His team with Ricardo Rodriguez could be fun.

Do any of the older guys actually enjoy Wwe these days or like my myself watch when your drunk in the hope of something good
Uk fans i remember the good old days when you had 4 hours back to back of insane shit on a friday
which was the main reason i refused to touch my now wife in the vagina on a friday
ya dig?

So is Chris Sabin a free agent now? Would love to see him and Alex Shelley re-unite The Motor City Machine Guns. Those guys in the WWE would be insane. Shelley, especially, had some of that charm that could have allowed him to survive as an actual character in the mid-card with room to climb. Being a smaller guy doesn't hold people back as much anymore either. I could just imagine Shelley following Brie Bella around with a video camera in order to get Daniel Bryan's attention for a title match.

Chris Sabin showed some potential in his World Title run with TNA too. His dickhead-abusive-boyfriend stuff was good. But that'd only be if he went singles. Bring in Shelley and him to feud with The Ascension in NXT with shitty names.

I like Big E, but I'm still not sold. I liked his work with Barrett, but there's just nothing he really does better than anybody else currently receiving a push. Cesaro's feats of strength are not only more impressive, but he's a better overall worker and closing the gap in terms of mic skills. Roman Reigns is learning how to do explosive better in even singles situations. I'm not really sure where Big E plugs in right now. Maybe it's time to start the five-count thing with him against jobbers. Try and re-build the guy before you insert him into another major program or something.

I want Chavo Guerrero back in the WWE. I imagined him doing a random NXT appearance against Camacho the other day. Have no clue why. Make the guy an NXT trainer that occasionally gets into the ring.

Christian would make a good commentator when his in-ring career is over, I think. I liked the way he went back-and-forth with JBL that one SmackDown he sat down in the booth. His style was so different in the ring to JBL's that I think he would provide an entirely different perspective from the booth, and that the contrast between them could make for a great dynamic. Give it a try on SmackDown one week and see how it holds up.

TNA has been pretty laughable lately. It seemed like they had some clear stuff to build up to:

* Magnus finally getting conquered by Samoa Joe.

* Eric Young taking responsibility for the monster he helped unleash.

* Bully Ray and Bobby Roode just beating the absolute shit out of each other.

* James Storm and Gunner also beating the shit out of each other.

* Kurt Angle returning from injury and getting his revenge on Ethan Carter III.

* Rockstar Spud standing up for himself in a comedic way and challenging his tormenter, Willow.

* Angelina Love and Velvet Sky using their numbers advantage to try and leverage the Knockouts Championship from Madison Rayne, who has a rookie in her corner.

* Knux making his feel-good debut, following his dream and sending money back to his dad.

* Sanada and Tigre Uno concluding their friendly rivalry for the X-Division Championship.

* The BroMans finally getting fed to The Wolves.

* Kenny King getting his arrogant ass handed to him by MVP, or someone representing MVP because he wants to "stay out of the spotlight."

It was so simple. Everything was laid out there. I understand that there were a few injuries here and there, but come on. Kurt Angle re-appeared for a little bit and basically had a TV match with EC3. Angle could have at least helped Willow out against EC3 if he wasn't cleared for Sacrifice. Joe was also out, but you could have had MVP give the shot to Austin Aries, Bobby Lashley or someone like that. MVP could have taken it himself, and teased the possibility that he is becoming corrupt with power.

I was kinda getting into TNA a month or two ago. It didn't last long. Just when they get something going, they get content and lazy.

You encouraged me to give it a try, but like you, I just couldn't keep interested.

I liked what I saw of Brittany, but I'm not sure if the company knows how to present her.

It's really sad that the company doing women's wrestling the best right now is the WWE.

They're also arguably doing the best with tag teams.

So apparently, Sheamus beating Ambrose was supposed to be Sheamus' heel turn but the crowd didn't bite lol
