Not looking good for TNA's tapings.
I'd have Rollins use the cash in on Cena to get the belt after Brock destroys Cena post match.
Then, when Brock interferes in the Rumble, have him destroy Bryan in the same fashion.
After these actions, all you have to do is have Triple H revoke Brock's rematch clause because it's best for business.

Yeah I am hoping for a new and improved Impact product but hell realistically I'd settle for a mix of the old Nashville weekly shows and some of the decent newer stuff. Screw it just give me a Monty Brown return with him hitting the POOOOOOOOUNCE on everyone on the roster and it would be better than Raw this week.

He's got until the end of June to cash in.
I like where your head's at, friend Shapesmith.
i expect him to eat the pin at the Rumble from Cena, Brock crushes Cena after the match, and Rollins cashes in
Also, I think there is a precedence for champions losing their rematch clause if they were defeated and the title then changed hands again on a cash-in.
Okay, but do we all agree that Rollins must have a successful cash-in? When would you do it, and how would it affect the champ coming out of Mania? Is the champ coming out of Mania Rollins himself?

Miz/Mizdow still aren't even done w/ the Usos. There's the rematch, then the rematch of the rematch, then the rematch of the rematch where Miz/Mizdow actually split up.
You know this company, they're gonna be trading matches until Summerslam.

Okay so they don't have a race problem but...
What the fuck
I keep forgetting who the current WWE champ is. I assumed it was Bryan for some reason last week
Bringing back the Hardcore title would be a ton of fun but way too much effort for creative to book all the time.
I think Unimas gets a delayed version? I can't remember sorry, maybe Alucard remembers.
Interesting, does this point towards him being called up to the main roster around the end of this month?

The show is about to begin

They will probably heavily feature the side of the house that is full.
because they're both old as fuck and taker can barely walk, that's why, the actual match won't be anywhere near what it is in your head

Yes, he absolutely has to get the belt off of the cash-in. I'd had the idea of him cashing in on someone after their match at Wrestlemania (during their celebration - a la Orton on D-Brine) to sorta cement that "slime ball/asshole heel" reputation, but after last Monday (and even before then) that rep's already been cemented.
EDIT: Maybe have him cash-in after the Rumble - like on Raw, then he defends it all the way to Wrestlemania against whoever.
Poor TNA. Looks like we might get another SUPER darkly shot Impact. Those episodes were just sad. You could hear a pin drop.
We'll see how it goes. I legit wish them well, but it really is a matter of a company that has built up a shit ton of bad will, so that even if they do something good, few people will care. They need like a full year or two of positive show buzz before more people will care again, if at all.

From now on until he gets his ass back into wrestling, trips will be known as Paul
I want to give the new TNA a shot, even to the point of paying for episodes if they post them on Amazon or iTunes.
It's just a matter of having a way to watch it.
rofl, same old shit

Watching Lucha Underground for the first time, as I never knew I had the channel until the commercials during Raw.

Hell, if WWE wanted to, and it makes storyline sense since Rollins is in with The Authority, Triple H can just extend the length of the MITB contract to longer than the announced year. This gives Rollins more time to hold on to the briefcase, he could even defend it at the MITB PPV; all because it's 'best for business' if they don't have a good opportunity for him to cash-in & win before it expires.

God help us if The Authority are still around by MITB.
What's the point of this year's MITB PPV then if his contract extends beyond it?
reptilescorpio

Don't worry, Sting will destroy H at Mania and put an end to The Authority for once and for all (for some reason).
Internet GM from then on out ya'll!
There is more money in a match like that. They had Eddie Guerrero against Brock Lensar like a decade ago and it worked out.
Future Foundation

I guess they could just put Rollins' briefcase up for grabs, have him retain it through SHENANIGANS, then cash in sometime after?
Freddy=Legend

Is there a point to half the things WWE does anymore? Haha
They can go the route of him having to defend his briefcase in the MITB ladder match & have him win it again then. Point is, they have other options for Rollins to keep the briefcase longer & don't have to rush a cash-in that doesn't make sense.
But I'm all for Rollins leaving the Rumble with the strap & facing Bryan at Mania. Only problem there is; Rollins/Reigns unfortunately makes more storyline sense given the Shield break-up. We haven't seen much heat between Rollins & Bryan.

they'd better still be around, they're the epitome of fnp
Yeah, Eddie won, but Goldberg interfered and Lesnar got his F5 reversed into a DDT on the belt.

Every time I see Hawk with the tongue sticking out it reminds me how Hogan threw him out of the rumble.. Straight comedy. He sticks his tongue out to the fans, next thing he's tossed out

* JB came back out to hype the crowd and it seems like he's been in the ring forever. There's some grumbling in the crowd among fans. This was said to be a lot of stalling. One of our correspondents called it "pathetic." Fans were chanting "we want wrestling" at Borash.
oh my god TNA what are you doing
Because fuck dream matches fans want

MITB this year should be run like King of the Ring!
Rollins sits on the throne and gets to make stipulations on each of the matches once the matches are worked out. Each wrestler must kiss his hand before the bell can ring.
The PPV ends with Rollins curb stomping both finalists out of consciousness leading to him retaining the briefcase!
Yep, I would pay some good money to see that.
Who wants to go backstage?
Whoever can be the loudest, most outrageous fan in their section can go backstage tonight!
We have our cameras on you, and we're watching every one of you and we want to see you at your loudest!
IIRC, they show it in the middle of Saturday afternoons where I'm at.
Of course, it's also pretty much all in Spanish too.
Nah, he's just plain crazy Jeff Hardy again.
Bryan said in an interview at Summerslam about Lesnar:
I wonder what the match would look like. I bet some MMA, mat wrestling plus some New Japan style wrestling.
edit: TNA attendance was 600 for this show.

So Angle announces he is now active as a wrestler and squares off with MVP? That's actually pretty sweet, even if he is a few years out of his prime.

Yeah that's the deal, kinda sucks if you don't have the other channel to see it at the same time as the English version.
