The Wrestling Thread

[MrMichael]

Apparently TNA are willing to give Heyman more or less anything he wants, full creative control, the whole shebang. He'll take it imo when the deal is right, probably when Hogan/Bischoff are on the way out at the end of the year. It'd be a chance to work with the most talented up & coming roster ever assembled in pro-wrestling (big claim I know but TNA is majorly stacked right now) and really take them places. I really hope it happens, it'd be a blast

[MrShawnMichaels]

You're quite optimistic about this, aren't you?

[MrShawnMichaels]

Whats going on with the taker / kane storyline?

Is rocky coming back?

Taker just got married to Michelle McCool recently, that's why he's out and plus he demands to have time off after Wrestlemania because his body is breaking down. Kane is mostly like to fight Taker at Summerslam although I've read it could be the Nexus crew who beat down on Taker, which would push them a little bit more by going over Taker, especially. Hopefully, it won't be Kane v Taker again because it's not ****ing 1998!



Don't think so now with WWE scrapping the guest GM thingy.

I used to love WWF as it was then. It was so exciting every week, in the time I watched it from 97-03 ish, in the Attitude era. Fake or not, it really was entertaining. Now its just a sad excuse for entertainment/wrestling.

Dixie Carter on twitter: Just finished watching the LOST series. Better late than never. I am more lost than ever but loved it. Not everything needs to make sense.


You can't make this up.

[MrMichael]

lol, the poor woman is allowed to comment on non-wrestling stuff on her own twitter surely?

Anyway, Victory Road tonight, card looks pretty good and most of the angles have been built up really well.

There's a rumour that Dreamer is involved with the booking now, which, if true, is a good thing and might explain the more sensible turn TNA has taken in the last month or so.

Read the tweet again and think about TNA.

[MrShawnMichaels]

I heard this recently about Victory Road. There were NO ILLEGAL STREAMS AVAILABLE because no one cared to put them up! Also, TNA have been getting buyrates of less than 10k per PPV. That's ****ing awful. 10k?! WCW was doing that when it was dying in 2000.

[MrMichael]

Haha, well that first bit is nonsense anyway, I watched it @ work on a stream and there were about 4 others up on JTV/Ustream.....

Guns v BeerMoney @ VR was the best tag match I've seen in ages.

Yes, only to be destroyed by a god awful main event.

So with TNA going back to the 1990's~! with their ECW invasion angle, after WWE did their NXT invasion angle with younger guys, what message are they sending with AL SNOW AND STEVIE RICHARDS invading TNA? What a **** promotion.

[MrMichael]

Meh, the main event wasn't great, but I've seen much worse. RVD's just mailing it in though, they should put the belt on Anderson.

Flair - Lethal was actually pretty ok, Angle - Pope was good but not as great as it could have been, and the tag match was boss, Plus Williams - Kendrick was good until Kendrick got legit knocked silly and they had to rush the end. Overall it was a decent ppv, certainly not amazing and the undercard was very underwhelming, but it was alright overall.

And as for the ECW thing, supposedly its just for the Hard Justice ppv, they're "putting the ecw guys in charge" for the night. Al Snow? Hardly a big part of it, Foley, Raven, Dreamer and Rhyno are all smart guys with good minds for the business, I'm not a massive fan of the angle but I'm prepared to see how it pans out.

[MrShawnMichaels]

Having watched Impact for some time now, I am incredibly confident that it will die a more miserable death than WCW. OMG, what a pathetically poor show. Wrestling's good but the booking, stipulations, writing are simply ****ING DISASTROUS. NO BUYS SHOW. TNA is a broken brand, you can add any number of writers and bookers and it will still be ****e. This situation with ECW is worse than what Vince did, and that was a ****ing mega cluster****. The last segment of Impact was the epitome of LOLTNA.

[MrMichael]

After showing signs of improvement Impact's been a mess since the last PPV, Abyss beating raw meat, security guards wrestling, Eric Young out-wierding OJ and all sorts of other stupidity. Not to mention the whole ECW thing. Though Raven v Dreamer will be rather nostalgic.

Thank god for the Guns and Beer Money. The best tag wrestling in a decade or more imo, they are all just ****ing great.

[MrShawnMichaels]

I agree Guns and Beer Money has been the best thing on the show but the rest of the stupidity is unbearable to say the least.

Hardcore Justice has only two matches announced with the free PPV styled show the following Thursday having more matches announced. How on earth are PPV's going to be sold then?

Raw for the past couple of weeks has been booked really well with the Nexus looking really good with an interesting spin on the 'face' WWE team. The only problem I have is Bret Hart on the team. Only for so long can you hide his deficiencies in the ring and the fact he can't take a bump. An elimination match like the one we are getting at Summerslam means he will have to feature somewhere in the match. I'm expecting someone from the WWE team to perform a screwjob, using Cena would be stupid and illogical.

[refugee]

I've given up.

Keane v Mysterio for the 8 millionth time then (probably) Kane v Taker for the 6 millionth time. I've put some text in white in case somebody cant see this incredibly unpredictable twist coming (although now I've said that it will turn out to be Taker v Bourne or something equally stupid).

I haven't watched RAW for months but Cena is still in the main event and that doesn't interest me in the slightest.
