that or he's a big John Grisham fan
Yeah, we should definitely try to keep each other motivated. I'm shooting for 87lbs by July.
No real Geordie Sting would never help a has-been like Face-Painted Sting.
Jesus christ. That promo itself had a slower build than any storyline ever.

My Sting prediction.
He is not going to WWE or if he does it wont be until after WM.

What if WWE gets nostalgic for the 1994 ending and they have co-winners, except this time it's four co-winners: all three Shield members, and Kofi doing a headstand out in the third row?

I could see co-winners again, sure.
I just think it would be cooler than BATISTA WINS! and would make Roman a quick babyface. Give him a good WM moment too.

With half the crowd holding up their mobile for bootleg shots, it wouldn't work. I bet it takes less than half an hour for someone on YouTube to show video proof of one guy hitting the floor first.
Well, it's not the WWE's fault that the internet basically ruined any bit of mystery and awe that wrasslin' once had. If everyone would just play into kayfabe, but nooooo.
Ref has final say and if h can#t use video proof it doesn't matter what the crowd sees. I mean that's how it still is in football and that's why there are still lots of wrong decisions. I can#t remember if WWE ever used video footage for the ref to check.
Except for when they reverse descisions after seeing shit on the Titantron.
WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!
Only when they want to be bitches.
Like when Owen rightfully won the title. That interference was edited in.
Shit you are right, but they could just not do it. Since it's all fake it's not like it would be hard to do.

That was because he was right on the cusp, and they pulled the trigger on that perfectly.
Genre Savvy Batista is Best Batista
Looking back that was probably the best Batista moment in his career. Executed perfectly.
PINK SHIRT BROTISTA is Best Batista.
Also, I noticed that Eddie always said his name the legit away. With the U in it. Wonder if that was on purpose.

I think someone threw an egg at him
I always thought it had something to do with him speaking Spanish, for some reason. I was blown away when ADR said his name without the U in it.
I liked Bischoff's reaction when Triple H mentions himself being champion for WCW in 1997 lol.
Okay, despite this week being a wash on Impact, next week's spoilers actually sound really good.
The only downside is that it doesn't sound like the Wolves are anywhere on the show. Maybe more backstage segments?
1. Kurt Angle beat Bobby Roode in a cage match with a moonsault off the top of the cage. HOLY SHIT I WANT TO SEE THIS.
2. Austin Aries defeated Chris Sabin to win the X Division Title while Velvet Sky was locked in a cage at ringside. YES.
3. Samoa Joe beat Rockstar Spud. YES.
4. Gunner defeated James Storm to keep his TNA Title shot briefcase. Good move.
Bro-Mans and Zema Ion beat up Eric Young until Abyss made the save.
5. Magnus defeated Sting to retain the TNA Title with interference. Magnus tore up Sting's contract after the match. BYE BYE STING.

I'm definitely getting my hair cut like Nak this summer.
This is such a bad haircut. Its like he couldn't fully commit to a mullet and it's all stuck to his head and matted.
^That is the worst facial hair in history. It probably doesn't help that it belonged to someone who is a complete bore and you'd have to watch it move for 20 mins at a time while he talked.

Little known fact, they make Austin Aries travel in Bully Ray's carry-on bag.
Doesn't even flinch. What a guy

Its crazy how much garbage would get thrown in the ring in WCW, while in WWF it never really happened. Did WCW put in plants?

Are they actually pushing Kofi? :lol
Poor guy.
Poor guy.
I think it was probably that WCW didn't want to kick anyone out, so people knew they could get away with shit.
No.
