All WWE talent and producers and TV production people are currently all set for WWE TLC tonight in Cleveland.

I'm told tensions are at a fever pitch and have been all day. Many guys on the card tonight want to go out of their way to be the match of the night. The feeling is that a small company rivalry has started between the main roster and the NXT roster. Many agree that is good for all sides involved.

What is usually a lighter atmosphere many hours before doors open is not the case today. I'm told that it is very quiet backstage and that talent is very focused on the show tonight. They know the NXT show is going to be considered "show of the year" among many and they want this TLC show to rival or top it.

Many of the main matches have already been rehearsed. There was a giant black curtain covering the ringside area so nobody outside of the main players know what is going to happen tonight.

Anything that has pride about what they do would be stressed after their own companys b-team just outshone them. Wasn't shocked to read that the atmosphere is usually relaxed based on the current product.

The fact that it's usually relaxed and laid back speaks volumes. They should be engaged, passionate, and serious about what they're going to do before a PPV.

That reddit story also sounds like carny advertising to generate last second PPV buys.

So reading those reports that the TLC participants are aiming to steal the show and show those NXT upstarts that they're not so easily bettered and really I can't help but think Rowan and Ryback must be cursing their luck with their opponents.

Yep, it would take a miracle for the matches of those two guys to turn out good. Also the Divas match will suck because a Bella is involved.

Pretty much exactly what HHH said he wanted to do with NXT earlier this year, create an artificial "competition" to make guys on both brands work harder to outdo the other.

I have family that lives there. It's a truly miserable place. But it has the Rock and Roll hall of fame.

You also can't set the lake on fire anymore.

That only works if guys are compensated on their work and rewarded for that.

Khali was making more than most of the roster just for his ethnicity meanwhile other guys are punished for it.

Yes. Certainly better than AJ.

I think the Bellas try to put on a good show.

It's so hard to tell since nobody cares about their booking. Wrestling observer reported that only one match that involved "Divas" went more than 10 minutes.


And that one just happened to involve the bosses daughter in a pointless squash match.

Watching "The Best of TNA 2014." Sooooo weird seeing AJ Styles confronting Magnus. @_@ Re-watching that godawful match that AJ wrestled before leaving TNA.

It's absolutely accurate. Both Bellas have put a ton of work in, while AJ (who really wasn't good at anything before hand) has regressed on every level. The Bellas are completely competent wrestlers with styles that match them and both know how to run the ropes.

Before hitting a few MOTY contenders out of the park in the G1. Think he must have been so pissed off with how he was leaving TNA.

PS Sounds like Nikki's doing more for the Divas title than Paige and AJ did over the past few months. Just weird.

PPS Paige's character writing and booking has been hoooorseshit.

I remember that episode receiving a pretty big ratings pop, too. Man...AJ left at a really good time. TNA needed to hit the refresh button, and I'm not sure if they would've done that if AJ and Kaz and Daniels had stuck around.

I love how Kane has a look of "Really?" on that poster.


And can someone explain what the hell a stairs match is supposed to be?

Steel Stairs are legal as a weapon and
Big Show will likely bring out a super sized stair to match the super sized chair from the past.
