Do you think AJ Styles will get to keep Michelle McCool's finisher or will he have to change it?

Can't wait for them to trade wins back and forth indefinitely until the end of time. Because that's all Mexicans are good for. Wrestling each other. (I hate that Vince thinks this way.)
When they're just starting out and are young rookies in NXT? I care.
When someone like Titus O'Neil has been with the company for 7 years and is 38 and has gone nowhere... I don't give a rat's ass about the fact that he played for the Gators in the late 90s.
Hardcore wrestling fans don't go to RAW tapings outside of the night after Mania.

Who's the last guy who came to WWE and kept their name? I feel like AJ might do it.

No one here hates AJ Styles right? Hell even Data thinks he's one of the best in the world and he's not easy to please. That's kind've amazing.

All their top Japanese talent except Okada is getting up there in years. Hell, even Ibushi is 33 years old! They have done a great job with foreigners, and the schedule structure means that guys are still able to go in their late 30s/early 40s, but if they don't get some younger Japanese guys going, I worry about NJPW in a few years.
They are the opposite of WWE, which has shit on the main roster right now, but they are doing their best to ensure their future by signing tons of young talent.

pre NJPW he burned away all positive feelings I may have had for him at some point. There was a reason his NJPW debut was met with groans from some here.

#1 face in the company throwing the 70-year-old official into the ropes to knock the mother of 3 into the ring head first.
Makes me want to cheer him.

I mean you could alternatively caption it with "mistreated employee gets back at his asshole bosses".
Really could spin it however you wanted.

So this whole tournament was fabricated because TNA realized "Wait shit, did we seriously just put our world title on Matt Hardy?"

Is kamaitachi not on the tour?
Anyone see goto shoot on Okada?

The asshole bosses part I buy.
The mistreated employee part makes me laugh.
But, then again, this is the same company that has trumpeted Cena "defying the odds" for the past decade.
Doesn't matter honestly.
Even rubes will have heard by now and want to be in on it even if they have no idea who these people are, and odds are at least more than a few have watch TNA so they will know AJ.

Lashley vs. EC3 was fine-ish. LOLed at the schoolboy finish. Also, Smurf Jeff Hardy. They did a great job teasing Davey vs. Angle for the first and only time to deliver...Drew and Angle as a team against the Wolves and ED and EY. Beer Money reunion was fun. BPs deal didn't accomplish much, but Kong turned...re-turned heel. Also, Rebel is now a boat captain-cosplaying stripper. Viva la Boat Captain Mike Rotunda! World Title match was a fine video game match, but nothing really memorable beyond the nasty side effect on the steps and the super One Percenter.
Bennett and Maria legit came off like the biggest stars on the show with their whole presentation. Maria's promo was fantastic and Bennett's was pretty good. His look seemed great early, and then they revealed the weird mustard yellow hat and blue Nikes and he came off like a guy trying to be a star with a $250 clothing budget. I chuckled so much at the seemingly endless plug of Schitt's Creek - it's like them plugging their future home, and for a while there, I was wondering if they'd thrown a tape of a whole episode on because that promo had to last at least 10 minutes.

What's mistreated about him? They won't stop giving him title shots. He even beat up his boss and was rewarded for it by said boss's father in law.
I sure hope Vinny Mac realizes that AJ Styles is going to pick up right where Daniel Bryan left off.
When they try to push Reigns vs. HHH the rematch IV on us and sell it with a god awful promo battle in the middle of the ring, the "AJ STYLES" chants will begin. The will of the smarks can not be contained. And, like Bryan, it will spread.
If the town doesn't know AJ? They'll have the Nakamura fangirls to worry about.
SHINSUKE!

Wrestling GAF. I haven't been invested in wrestling for a decade until I heard the news last night. I'm preordering WWE 2K17 on principle, if the rumors are true. AJ Styles has been the only wrestler I wanted to see in WWE for so long. (That's a lie. I wanted to see Petey Williams Sunset Piledriver the entire WWE roster.)
What are the chances that rumors are true and who are the most reliable insiders to folloe? I get that they posted a story on WWE's website, but I need reassurances. Please be true.

I don't know, maybe the fact that his boss was clearly calling the match in favor of his opponent and trying to screw him out of a title that he already had to fight through bullshit to win?
But you're right, that's not mistreatment at all.

I don't think WWE would have posted this:
If AJ wasn't already completely signed up to a contract.
My emotions.... Stop screwing with me Vince/Paul!
The bountiful treasures of the McMahon family....
