Going to TNA at this point seems like a lateral move at absolute best. I feel like the Wolves can make more on indies and international tours. TNA is long past the point of giving you more exposure. Anyone watching TNA likely already knows who they are and will do nothing to raise their stock to WWE.

That's what they're designed to do. All that straining and tensing your muscles is your own strength working against you, and it jacks your heart rate right up. I've been enjoying it, and it really does help lose weight and ton up.

Farewell Mae Young, you were one awesome woman.
I really wanted her to have that match at 100 years old.
I honestly thought she would get there.
As far as Raw goes, well I should be happy they flip-flopped D-Bry back already lol, it was an awesome moment that the crown went ape shit for as expected..... but shouldn't they have saved it for the Rumble or something? :\ Could have been even cooler, they really just can't commit to anything more than a week can they?

Had to go back like 30 pages for it.
Yeaaaaa thanks man. Sick.
Does anybody happen to have the badass slow motion version from the replay? I dunno what was made and wasn't but that was such a cool move.
Yeah I've been meaning to start DDP Yoga myself, only thing I'm really lacking is enough space to comfortably do it
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol

That's sick as fuck, but it's also kinda funny how clearly you can see Reigns slapping his legs to make the striking sound as it hits. :lol

You don't need that much space really, a square area the length of your body with a little room to spare. It's all very stationary.

The American Pitnulls just aren't good enough for The E. it was obvious during their match with The Ascension.

you just reminded me
the best part of the smark ass NXT crowd this week is when Rusev waved his arms up and down three times and the crowd responded with FEED! ME! MORE! chants and then they turned into Goldberg chants. for Alex Rusev. Loved it.
I actually forgot that FEED ME MORE was a huge thing at one point

could never
NXT crowd is awesome haha.
They did used to call it Raw Supershow when they had Smackdown guys on Raw to end the brand split. I suppose you could call them Supershow's.

SUPER SUNDAY STREAM!
A question for the Puro guys. Noah is coming to my backwater area of Japan this Sunday and I was wondering if I should make the effort to check it out. Here's a link to the card http://www.noah.co.jp/tour_detail.php?tour_id=1237
I quite fancy seeing KENTA in action and it'd be nice to see Liger again.

I'd rather have that nickelback than t his new song.

I'd go for it, looks like a fun show - especially the main event, with Nagata & Liger from New Japan against NOAH's Morishima and Kenou from Michinoku Pro. Also, Ishimori vs Ohara should be a good jr's match and I like the look of that TMDK vs BRAVE 6-man tag. TMDK have been pretty great over the past year or so.

Total Nonstop Anderson
Total Noshow Angle.
I used to be in the camp of 'TNA will always be OK', but now I'm not sure anymore. They do seem to be on their last legs, they certainly appear to be no better off than when they started all those years ago with the weekly PPVs. So I'm starting to wonder how long they actually have left - is it basically SpikeTV holding them up at this point?

Yep, when they lose Spike they're gone. Their deal is up in September.
If Viacom ends up bidding on WWE, TNA is done for. If JJ gets his new promotion up and running and makes a deal with Viacom they're also toast.

God...a Jarrett run promotion. *shudders*
What's the over/under on how long it takes for him to book himself as champion? Also, I wonder if he'd try and cut a deal with the NWA again.

i'd watch a Double J promotion, can't be worse than the WWE.
I think he will be the champ within the first month. Probably wins the title tourney and then goes on a 2-year reign.

That'd be great. Jeff Jarrett/Rob Conway Best of 7 series.

Rusev's lost was to see how he would react before he was added to the main roster. The American Wolves dis not pass this test.
Joe is one of the few guys who is completely happy with being in TNA because he gets paid to do very little. He was interviewed by Konnan on the MLW Radio podcast and they brought up the angle where he was kidnapped by ninjas and went missing. The angle pretty much turned into a long paid vacation for him and he was happy with that. His mindset now is why should he go risk his health when he has a light workload and his cheques aren't bouncing yet?
Also WWE is mainly interested in building talent from the ground up with their Development Facility. They'll show interest in an indy wrestler here and there but the main goal is find good looking athletic people and create talent from scratch. TNA wrestlers just don't fit into their vision.
If it's not expensive, then sure go see it.

Couple of Joey Ryan tweets about Bill DeMott;
"At WWE camp, Bill DeMott said nobody on indies is as good as NXT guys. I'd LOVE to debate Bill DeMott on what he thinks "good wrestling" is."
"Another thing Bill DeMott said at the WWE camp is that "WWE retrained Daniel Bryan or he wouldn't be as good as he is today.""
A guy like Drew Gulak, current CZW Heavyweight Champion, could wipe the floor with the majority of the NXT roster when it comes to mat skills and technical wrestling. Also, Bryan won the Most Outstanding Wrestler award five times in a row - the last year he won it? His final year on the indies. Sure, Bryan had to learn how to work within the WWE style, but it didn't necessarily make him better. More focussed, certainly, but also more limited.
You say this, but seven months in to a two year long Double J NWA Title reign and you'll soon change your mind.
That sounds eerily accurate. Are you from the future?
Actually, by all accounts the Wolves (or Pitbulls) were highly praised for their professionalism throughout their try-out.

There is probably a mentality in the WWE that they're the pop music of wrestling and indie wrestling is the jam band with 20 minute long songs that go on needlessly forever.
Some people in WWE live in their own little bubble, which isn't exactly news. Pretty sure Regal for example tries to keep up with the indies.

No doubt, with certain people in WWE there's obviously a lot of contempt for the indie wrestling style (not entirely without cause, I'll admit) - but I look at a guy like DeMott and it blows my mind that he's a head trainer at anywhere, let alone WWE's performance centre.
I mean, really, lets get a show of virtual hands from people who ever enjoyed anything Bill DeMott did during his in-ring career - anyone?
They seem to like them fine going by NXT.
Bill DeMott is just Bill DeMott.
