December Wrasslin' |OT| This title has been held by all the greats...and Triple H
My money's on Dewey Barnes or Norv Fernum. Those guys are getting way too over. Haha.
So, what was up with Natalya vs Alicia Fox being pretty great on Main Event this week?

Wasn't sure if people were being sarcastic when I saw them praising it on twitter, but hell, I enjoyed that match.
I feel like at some point Alicia Fox actually got good, but nobody noticed because she just hasn't been on TV very often.

Goldust got a pretty good shirt, too bad the GIANT text on the back of it
WWE REALLY needs to start offering shirts without stuff on the back. Call them non-authentic. Make them exclusive to Hot Topic. SOMETHING
indeed.
Except in the main event of TLC.
There's no money to be had in an Invasion 2.0. The WWE fans would have no idea who the TNA guys were, whereas the top WCW guys were huge stars.
Yeah, I would probably own a lot more wrestling shirts if it wasn't for the shit on the back. For instance, I refuse to get a CM Punk shirt because of the cheesy-as-fuck "Best in the World" shit on the back. I got this ROH shirt, but I wish it didn't have the "This is Wrestling" tag line at the back:
If I wear it out, it's usually under a zip-up hoodie.
Seems creative enough. I wonder if Magnus is able to pull off a match like that. I expect some "holy shit" moments from Hardy.
Yeah, I'm enjoying him enough, but I still find him annoying more than anything...which is the point, I suppose.
Eh, I'm hopeful TNA will stick around for a while. And AJ has apparently sent out feelers to Ring of Honor about returning. I doubt WWE is interested in him.
Yep, if AJ Styles was a surprise entrant in the rumble would he get any reaction?
I'm glad someone knows what this is
The same issue didn't stop the NWA or ECW invasions to WWF story lines. I agree it's a poor idea, but the lack of knowledge by the average WWE fan wouldn't stop them.
Only if there is a large enough European, specifically U.K., audience present. Beyond that, it'll get as much reaction as a Brian Christopher return.
I don't know about that. It definitely won't be a mega event but it will be big storyline nonetheless. And WWE will get a noticeable bump from influx of TNA audience at the very least.
Those weren't major things, though, and in the ECW's case it was a crossover. The NWA returns were all low-card stuff.
The problem is, is that everyone who watches TNA watches WWE, but everyone that watches WWE does not watch TNA. So there's no audience gain to be had, and the crossover is small enough that most of WWE's audience wouldn't know who any of TNA's talent are.

That's my point. Any such appearance of TNA wrestlers on WWE would be seen equally as low-card stuff or unimportant.
Now NXT vs TNA, both in Florida? Done by Dusty Rhodes? That could be made into something.
Edit: Yes I realise TNA would never do it and make themselves appear as only equal on the level of "a developmental promotion".
Yeah, not a fan of using the word "rape" like that, but the rest of the promo was legit creepy and can't-miss TV.

The most surprising part of the script is apparently the poll wasn't rigged, they just assume the winner and have back up plans in case.
