The group was dropped on TV for whatever reason. Xavier Woods and Big E both made passing comments about it (on twitter), but nothing too exact. Last I heard, they wrestled together at a house show with Xavier Woods acting as a manager. They wrestled as faces, by the way.

Not sure where it is headed at all but those three definitely need something to do even if it's not as a group.

There's a recent thread on the F4W Board where one of the site's contributors passes on anonymous thoughts and opinions from WWE employees. Take it for what it's worth. Here's what was said about Xavier's group.

Vince was adamant in NOT wanting this to be racial, and killed any and all inference that it was a new Nation of Domination.

So yeah, it was doomed to fail since everybody saw it as the new NOD and Vince didn't want it to look that way no matter how obvious it actually was.
 
Oh dear, I just remembered Brie "gave" Nikki the theme song.

You guys know she's now gonna come out to Daniel Bryan's theme, dontcha?

I'm surprised they didn't use the theme during the Steph storyline. It wouldn't really make sense with the current sibling rivalry stuff though.

Oh, wow. I'm interested in hearing more about the situation to be honest. This is the first I've read of this; I get most of my wrestling news either here or from NoDQ.com.

LEGITSHOOK.COM PRESENTS



Ditch Decades 7



Idk. Too weird of a selection I think.

  • The Funk Brothers vs Abdullah the Butcher/The Sheik AJPW 12/15/77
  • Tatsumi Fujinami vs Akira Maeda NJPW 6/12/86
  • Black Tiger II vs Jushin Liger Best of Super Juniors Finals NJPW 6/12/96
  • Danshoku Dino/Muscle Sakai/YOSHIHIKO vs Poison Sawada JULIE/Inokuma/Akiomi Nitta DDT 2/25/05

Funks vs Abby/Sheik was probably the best match Abby and Sheik were ever in, and it wasn't because of them. It was because Dory was ready for a god damn fight and Terry was selling like Jeeeezus. I'm pretty sure it was this match that made Terry a super over babyface in Japan. Fujinami/Maeda was really good and MOTY for Tokyo Sports. Maeda was mean as fuck, repeatedly blasting Dragon in the face with head kicks. Eddie/Liger wasn't as good as it seems like it should be. Really no focus or any kind of story to it at all. And the DDT match...well, Japan is weird and DDT is weird Japan in pro wrestling form.

Watch Maeda/Fujinami. You can probably skip the rest and not be missing much.
 
More of the Connecticut Clarifications:

Can anyone shed any light on what exactly the issue is with Ziggler?

A: It’s a simple formula, if you work for a PG company then stop posting on Twitter that you have friends who do porn. Though as of this posting I think things are better for him now.

A: The New Nation may have had the fastest stop/start this side of Beaver Cleavage. And, yes, for those who doubted the original idea: it was supposed to be an updated version of the NOD, and it was originally pitched months and months ago.

I'll post more of the most interesting ones.

John Cena Reportedly Dealing With Major Injury Problems, Concern Over His WWE Future

There has been talk within WWE for about 6-8 weeks that John Cena is still having problems with his shoulder but is now having more problems with his neck. These are longterm nagging issues that Cena has been dealing with.
It was also said that there are a lot of people within WWE keeping an eye on Cena to see where he will be going forward in regards to acting and not wrestling as much.

There are also people within WWE who say Cena appears to be in pain and they believe Cena has has slowed down physically in the way he moves.

I don't wish anyone injury...
but WWE thinks they can fix his neck by feeding him the souls of wrestlers.

I wish him no long term ills, but if he has to follow Edge's footsteps out of the ring to continue to lead a healthy life, I think very few people would have complaints.
 
Wonder how many years D.Bry has left. Mick Foley said he had to convince not to join the peace corps.

That was weird because Foley didn't specify what year he was talking about.

Bryan has said in recent interviews he can't wait to be back and that he's okay because this is his first major injury.

I'd say, barring injury, he's got many years left. I think Foley was referring to Bryan when he didn't know if he'd be successful in WWE. Now that he's successful, I don't know if he's racing for the door.

Tough deal. Obviously I do it in a heart beat but damn.

I would in a heart beat for a car or house payment, but I'm a little iffy on paying for the $700 cable bill and $340 phone bill all because they won't cut back when they don't have the money to pay for things. All so her husband can have all the sports and movies channels that he doesn't even watch.

What the fuck kind of plan do they have for a $700 cable bill?

Phone and cable? Fuck that. When I can't afford cable I cancel it. I have done this twice before and I would do it again. As far as the phone goes, better to buy her a cheap ass flip phone with unlimited minutes and texts and give it to her.

They have every movie channel and two different sports packages, 4 DVRs (with 2 people in the house) and HD even though they don't have any HD tvs. And they're a month behind. That's a tough sell to me, even from my moms.

Well shit. Now I have different feels.

Would they hate you if you gave them a one year subscription to WWE network instead?

Hell, I lend my ex/best friend $900 earlier this month to move in to her new place since she couldn't afford both the deposit and 1st month's rent and the fact her old place was a piece of shit. Confessed my love to her the next day.. and she doesn't want to talk to me "ever again". Limited contact since.

She'll come around. We work together.

I would if it was just for my mom, but it isn't. It's for her husband and fuck that guy. I have a major conflict of paying a bunch of money so he can watch some extra college football games. They had to borrow money for a house payment (which should have been paid off at least 10 years ago) so it wouldn't go into foreclosure, but he won't cancel cable.

I love that he saw no reason not to 'confess' his love to her the day after putting her $900 in debt to him. Cause there was no way that could come across as skeevy.

You are supposed to get the pussy before you give the money dude. Then when she asks for the money say sorry an emergency came up and you can't let her borrow it.

You do realize you are never going to see that $900?

Also she is probably screwing someone else.

Edit: I look forward to your thread in off topic
