serene dropped a rumour he says is legit saying the c man was a name in the air during cuts talks
a lot of people are calling bs and i'm leaning on that side cos like i said he's a dormant pop machine
but at the same time noooooo

I was really hoping the Dunn rumor was true.
Pretty much. That thing with the HoF rings was hilarious though and Joe Park was a neat idea. I'd way rather see Kane week in and week out.

His pyro alone is 30,000 subscriptions to the network.

Good riddance.
And they wouldn't fire Cesaro, Cena loves him too much. No CM Punk, no Cesaro, D-Bry injured till who knows. Wouldn't even bother turning the thing on.

Save money on his entrance and have him come out to any song from Awesome Mix vol. 1.

...but they just this very evening fired a former WWE/WHC/MITB/Royal Rumble Winner and nephew of a Hall of Famer.
You know Cryme Tyme used to be Cena's best buds, right?

yeah but he stank
Cesaro might give JTG a run for his money
Cause he attacked an employee of the WWE. He gave them a good reason. People could sue for this stuff.
Good wrestler with no personality
Doesn't sound that far off from the current Cesaro

I really think Spike wanted to or wants to buy TNA outright so they don't have to deal with Dixie and Panda Energy. Spike has been footing the production bill and keeping the company afloat financially for so long now that they don't see a return on the investment unless they actually owned and operated the company themselves. Not to mention how horribly mismanaged TNA has been over the years.
They probably prefer situation similar to Bellator where Viacom owns the promotion. IN the end could would Viacom and Spike be willing to let TNA go so that they would be able to go out and start their own promotion (which seems like a money sink more so than TNA) or are they attempting to distance the channel from pro wrestling altogether.

- They're gonna fire Cesaro
- Devitt will become Shemuses cousin Fergie (JBL and King will call him Fergalicious and ask Cole if he twerks)
- KENTA will become Tensai's wacky Japanese friend
- Steen will never be on TV
- No black WWE WHC champion ever
- Ambrose will never hold the belt
- Wyatt will never win a PPV match
- Jericho will never retire
- Slater Gator will never hold the pennies
- Cody Rhodes will never be anything but a comedy jobber, even though the crowd was RED HOT for him coming off MitB and his feud with The Authority
- The NoD 2.0 will be forgotten about in 2-3 weeks
Remember where it looked like Cena was forming a stable with Cryme Tyme?

Del Rio and Cesaro's parallels recently are something though. Both in the WWEWHC match at Money in the Bank. Then:
Del Rio put over Reigns
Cesaro put over Cena
Del Rio then put over Ambrose
Cesaro put over Swagger
Del Rio put over Swagger
Cesaro squashed by Ziggler
Falling down the ladder in similar ways. I'm just speculating in a fun way, guys. Chill.

Cena's a company guy. He won't get in the way of WWE freeing up resources with these layoffs. He'll smile in Cesaro's face right before hitting the huge red botton marked with "FUTURE ENDEAVOR" behind his back.
Being friends with Cena is like being friends with the system. It's all cool until it's time for the system to be the system.

But look how things worked out for Evan Bourne!
Honestly I think Cesaro's safe because even when they have him jobbing he makes his opponent look like a million bucks. He's like Zigglar without the terrible offence and bitchy twitter comments.

Just thought I'd pass on the info, but Lambda messaged me on PSN and says he requested and was granted a perma ban 
Anywho, YouShoot are running a live shoot interview with Matt Sydal at the moment, yet it seems kinda pointless with a bunch of people live tweeting it, lol.

-Stock price tumbles into junk status
- Vince sells company
- WWE closes it's doors in 2 years after sale
- American wrestling is dead

1) 2 Raw losses to Kofi Kingston and 2) Good match with Cena. Fandango did 1) and was never the same. Sandow did 2) and was never the same. Either of the three being released within the next year isn't impossible in a post-JTG world.

You guys don't understand, Claudio has huge nipples and without them Cena would be sad.
Cena would fight for them, considering there are plenty of boring regular nipples he can suggest ditching first.

Doesn't Del Rio have a 90 days clause and tna might not exist in 90 days. Also that other part does that mean the new tna champ is going to be horrible?
Macho Madness

90 days only means you get paid for the 90 days you don't compete. I'm pretty sure that's waived in a termination like this.

I see but it would be stupid to put the title immediately on him just because the WWE released him for assault.

If you want to take shots at me, at least don't try to not mention me by name. And, like I said, I heard the rumor from a source I think is reputable. To be clear, the rumor is not "Cesaro is getting released", it's that "Cesaro may be on the bubble and his name has been mentioned in terms of who may be cut." If you seriously think I'd make anything up to "cause a scene" then you have a very warped view of who I am.
I also hate dumb indies.

Good. But we are few, and we need all the help we can get. How people request to Bootaaay's death match gifs and wanting them hidden under a link? That's me and AR Fox gifs

Well yeah, them wanting his number isn't the same as him considering going there. I don't expect he will.
