Fucked up if true. I say "if" because obviously you can never tell what someone might say about their former employer right after being fired. Still hope it's not true, but sadly seems like it wouldn't be terribly surprising if it ever is proven to be.

But yeah it's hard to believe looking back at that ppv, Gallows being Fake Kane, Dolph Ziggler was still a member of the spirit squad, I also believe it was Kurt Angles last WWE PPV Match as well in a losing effort to Randy Orton. Seeing a 2 out of 3 falls match between Mick Foley and Ric Flair actually ending to 2 falls, not to mention one of the wrestlers on the card is now deceased in UMAGA.

In fact looking back at it. Randy Orton, Triple H, John Cena and Dolph Ziggler are the only people featured on the card who still actually wrestle in WWE now.

I thought face Sheamus was very likeable and would be a much better choice for face of the company than Reigns.

I know I'm in the minority here... but I'm a sucker for the "badass with a sense of humor" character.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/A8-2YPu9ACc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I mean, he wasn't all that funny or anything. But it's wrestling. I didn't judge him on his comedy the same way I thought rapper Cena was awesome regardless of how legitimately good he was as a rapper. Face Sheamus could have worked. I don't know.

#1-norm-fan 05-20-2016 08:47 AM

On a side note... Jesus Christ, Roman Reigns is boring.

Companies do it apparently. It's very surreal. I know because I was fired from a job for the exact same reason. Still very bitter about it.

It's a very petty and paranoid way to conduct business and frankly dumb. This is why you see so many missteps in wwe. They have lots of people who just view it as a job and don't have much of a passion to see the company succeed. But what else would you expect from a guy who hates people if they sneeze in his presence?

TOP STORY: CAN NIKKY RECLAIM HIS PRIZE?


"The King of Clubs" Nikky Chance has a golden opportunity this Saturday as he will finally get his 1-on-1 shot against the CHW Interstate Champion, Robb Banks.


But this isn't going to be Nikky's 1st shot at this title. In fact, it seems that he's had his sights set on this belt ever since he walked into the doors of Crazy Hardcore Wrestling back in 2014. Robb Banks was ironically one of the heads he stepped on en route to challenging Matt Rage back in Season 5.


Though unsuccessful, Nikky Chance carried on with his mission and captured the prestigious title at the beginning of Season 6 by vanquishing Robb Banks, Scythe and Xacutor in a Table 4-Way Match. After over 100 days, Nikky lost the belt (and his hair) to Swede Savard.


Since that time, Nikky has been keeping himself busy, engaging in an intense rivalry with Ric "The Mic" Roberts. Now that a new champion has emerged, "The King of Clubs" has refocused on the CHW Interstate Title. He was mere inches away from stopping Robb Banks in the 5-Way Scramble Match and literally had the belt slip through his fingers in Balls To The Wall.


This Saturday, there will be nowhere to run as CHW Management has signed a 1-on-1 match between these two hungry competitors. Will Robb Bank's inconceivable winning streak carry on? Or will history be made as the 1st ever 2-time Interstate Champion be crowned? Be sure to tune in to find out!

Cena beat Sabu in an Extreme Lumberjack match, RVD successfully defended the WWE Championship in his only PPV title defense of his shortened run due to drug possession charges, Undertaker beat Show I that stupid Punjabi Prison match, and King Booker defeated Rey in the main event, marking the start of his WHC run which would see him go on to reign over the SD! locker room for 5 months before dropping it to Batista at Survivor Series, but not before successfully defeating WWE Champion John Cena and ECW Champion The Big Show in a Champion of Champions match at Cyber Sunday with an assist from one Kevin Federline, who for some reason was thrown into a feud with Cena until January 2007.

I guess it gets the WWE product circulated more. A two-hour format is more digestible too. I can't help but think that the WWE really wants to go back to two hours, but they just can't.

The impression we have is Amore believes it was the latter.

Syfy was out of the top 25 cable stations in prime time ratings last week. USA was No. 6, although without wrestling they would fall to No. 11.

In a bit of irony, main reason SyFy wanted Smackdown off the network was due to low ad rates and them wanting to go in a new direction for the channel. Smackdown drew some of their highest audiences but very little carried over to their other shows.

  • According to the Observer, The Club vs Reigns feud is rumored to be continuing after Extreme Rules based on upcoming house show plans.
    SPOILER: show
    The Club vs Reigns/Cena/Ambrose is planned to occur at several house shows after Extreme Rules. Usos not included in those plans. May or may not end up replacing rumored plans for Sheamus vs Reigns title feud to be next.
  • In a "WWE Did You Know" type fact, Marvel and WCW had plans to work on a cross-over comic series somewhere between 1998-2000 before those plans were dropped. The source of the story stated WCW ended up backing out of talks due to unexplained reasons. http://www.wcwworldwide.com/2016/05/...wcw-comic-art/
  • In another "WWE Did You Know" type fact, today is the 5th anniversary of Macho Man's passing.
  • Correction to yesterday's "WWE Did You Know" type fact involving Kevin Owens as Undertaker was not the first guy in WWE history to be on the main card for every ppv during his debut year. Kurt Angle or Chris Jericho might have been the first depending on the stipulations used. Charlotte is currently on track to join the list next month baring a sudden injury or Creative issue.
  • PWI had an article about recent updates to the Jimmy Snuka trial with Snuka himself on the stand for today's stuff. http://www.pwinsider.com/article/102...aring.html?p=1

Sasha Banks rumored to have suffered a head injury during a house show last week according to the sheets.

Mostly has been doing house show stuff after getting pulled off of tv a while ago because of some long term plans the WWE has for her and Charlotte this summer. Depending on how serious the injury is, WWE might have to shelve those plans.

Due to my nine month absence from wrestling, I've only just found out that Raw will be taped in Glasgow in November.

I checked tickets but Raw is sold out. Pretty gutted.

The silver lining I guess is that SmackDown still has tickets available, but all that are really left are the "cheap seats" way at the back and top of the arena.

Ol Dirty Dastard 05-22-2016 02:21 PM

Nash's shoots are kind of inconsistent. He seems to have heat with different guys during different interviews and his opinions on people is always changing. He's still the best shoot interview out there. Scott Hall is great to listen to as well in that he's knowledgable on in ring stuff and passionate about wrestling, but he tells the same kliq stories all the fucking time, but probably due to brain damage etc.

Lol, Ryback is teasing Ryborg in the Impact Zone on his Twitter feed.

Mr. Nerfect 05-22-2016 11:05 PM

If they can get Ryborg and Cody Rhodes, they could be laughing with that new ownership.

Mr. Nerfect 05-22-2016 11:05 PM

Oh, and Aaron Sandow. Hire Rich Bocchini to replace Josh Mathews on commentary. And have Stu Barrett jump the railing and start laying guys out. He says he's bringing a friend over in a few weeks. Dave Bautista shows up with Barrett. They announce they will take on three TNA stars at the next PPV, but they won't reveal who their third man is going to be. During the match, TNA World Champion Drew Galloway hits the ring to defend the company he loves so much. But he turns on EC3, James Storm and Jeff Hardy beating the piss out of them and helping Bautista and Barrett pick up the win.

A few weeks later, Elijah Burke gets off commentary and says he's been misused by this company. He's a legit bad-ass and a movie star and he's now in the group. Maybe have Rockstar Spud join as their little twerp friend that takes the heat for them. Watch the money roll in with that completely original idea. You can call them "Gen-Pop."

Ryborg debuts and starts squashing jobbers and starts an undefeated streak that goes on for years. Cody Rhodes cuts some promos about how this is the place to be and now that the shackles are off, you're going to see what he is truly capable of. He enters the X-Division and beats Trevor Lee for the title, who then moves into a program with G.S. Helms, who is pissed off that Lee couldn't get the job done against Rhodes. TNA signs Chris Hero to come in and wrestle Cody Rhodes in a classic series of matches over the X-Division Title, because they need something in there. The Hardys re-unite to fight against the evil Gen-Pop stable.

Mr. Nerfect 05-22-2016 11:13 PM

TMA would be a better name for them actually. I feel like they need to change something about the packaging there.

Mr. Nerfect 05-22-2016 11:14 PM

I'll be honest, I'd watch out of curiosity. They should bring in Dutch as the booker again and beg Kurt Angle to do some guest appearances to put over their next major stars.

TNA was such a dumb acronym for a wrestling company in the first place. Made them seem like they were trying way too hard to be edgy.

How would you rename it? Something Championship Wrestling? Something Wrestling Federation? Blank Wrestling Alliance? Some sort of cool acronym?

Something Wrestling Alliance would have actually made sense to me given the NWA association right off the gate.

Hell, NWA: Impact would have been fine with me.

Evil Vito 05-22-2016 11:21 PM

They seem to colloquially refer to the whole company as "Impact Wrestling" which honestly sounds way better to me than TNA anyway.

Mr. Nerfect 05-22-2016 11:24 PM

NWA: Impact would have worked, but I do think that they could have used the contemporary move away from the NWA association at some point. Maybe they can call it the Impact Wrestling Federation or something. Fairly certain there is an IWF though.

Evil Vito 05-22-2016 11:35 PM

IWF is: International Weightlifting Federation apparently

Evil Vito 05-22-2016 11:36 PM

Vince's secret project after the WBF failed.

Mr. Nerfect 05-22-2016 11:49 PM

Ha.

Mr. Nerfect 05-22-2016 11:50 PM

I'm going through the TNA roster. Man they could use some refocus on their tag team division.

Mr. Nerfect 05-22-2016 11:51 PM

Cody Rhodes & Aaron Sandow as your TNA World Tag Team Champions.

Evil Vito 05-22-2016 11:53 PM

Cody and Sandow teaming again would be fascinating to me. Not just because they've teamed before and were good but also because both are in the same boat of possibly going into acting and such. They could get involved in side projects that extend beyond just wrestling.

I've always thought them rejoining the NWA and changing to Non-stop Wrestling Action would be best. Impact Wrestlings probably the easiest one to do. Impact Championship Wrestling ICW, Impact Wrestling Championship IWC, World Impact Wrestling WIW. I don't know but I think ROH buying them would be best.

Heard they signed those French guys that got released from NXT but haven't seen them on Impact yet. Think they did a One Night Only match. Tag division has been cursed as top teams have left and it seems every time they have a team they want to get behind one of the members gets hurt. Another reason a ROH merger would be great as they have the best tag division on the planet.

If I got the impression that TNA was providing guys with a steady living that would be enough of a reason to keep in afloat even if the product was bad. But given that they are still having trouble paying talent and can't even stay on TV I really just wish it would either close or be absorbed by another company.

Evil Vito 05-23-2016 10:56 AM

Oddly enough I would pay for an Impact Wrestling Network type of deal where they put all of their old PPV events up. I probably wouldn't pay for long but there are definitely a few shows I wouldn't mind revisiting.

Vince could probably get TNA for cheap right now. I know he wouldnt want any of the talent but you know he'd love to have that video library. Talent could then go to ROH, LU, or NJPW.

Simple Fan 05-23-2016 12:36 PM

Only guy I'd like to see in WWE would be ECIII, could say Ethan sold the company to Vince behind Dixies back and be brought in as Vinces hit man of sorts.
