y'all deserve 10 more years of TNA for your trashing of the greatest film this decade

also if anyone has a link to the Meltzer TNA talk, I'd appreciate it

Hey Wrassle-GAF. What if the IWC bought TNA?

How the UK vacuum is filled will likely be the most interesting facet of TNA collapsing.

"The greatest risk we foresee in acquiring TNA Wrestling is the fact that we would own TNA Wrestling. But that's a risk we are willing to take."

Not bring in Eric Bischoff or Vince Russo. May consider Jim Cornette if he promises to pass an anger management test. This test will be placing Jim Cornette in a theatre to watch 4 hours of Ian Rotten produced wrestling. So none of the above will be involved.

 

[British Monsoon]

So is Day 5 of G1 as good as Day 4? Because that was pretty immense, Karl is hyping up Day 5 though.

Yeah, it's definitely up there and there's at least five matches I'd recommend - everything on the show was very watchable, though, really enjoyable day of wrestling.

Man, just skimming through that reveals all kinds of absurdity. Literally pick any random sentence and it's probably gold. I went back and found the Frank Wycheck match where he tries to piledrive someone and nearly kills them. Why the hell would you give a football player an incredibly dangerous move out of everything you could give him? Just give him a clothesline, done.

Vince, straight shoot with me, are you going to bring Lashley home?

nope

Double J potentially dodged a huge bullet in not buying TNA if Spike was getting out of the wrasslin business altogether.

Bubba? For real or for wrestling? Anyways apparently Orton has major heat for not making the golden boy look good at house shows.

Making Reigns look good in a one on one match is going to be no easy task

While I agree making Reigns look good at this point is tough, this quote made me crack up:

Several of the wrestlers in WWE, seeing payoffs down and just getting paid for WrestleMania, are worried Orton may be slowing down Roman’s progress to the top, where a new babyface star is needed since John Cena can’t be expected to carry the entire load, and Daniel Bryan’s future is uncertain with his nerve damage and possible need for a second surgery. “If Roman’s the guy, then Roman’s the guy,” one WWE Superstar said.

“Whoever is the guy, we need to get this guy over bigger than ever, not hold him down in rest holds and hope no one gets hurt. We’re in the wrestling business, Bumps and bruises happen.”

lololol

Former WCW star Buff Bagwell has signed on to shoot a porn movie for Vivid Video. TMZ reports that his wife Judy was there to sign the deal with Vivid honcho Steve Hirsch. Bagwell recently appeared on the Showtime reality series "Gigolos."

If any of you are missing the G1, you're missing a ton of fun. Here, have a great match - and check this dude's uploads for more if you like it.
Honma vs Ishii - Day 4

Honma is so over, it's so fun watching him and the crowd go nuts.

 

[BronsonLee]

Wait, are they really getting on Orton for trying to protect Reigns during house shows?

Like...really?

Also I really hope my friends to TNAid again this year, like immediately

This is the same company that told Cesaro stop doing the swing since it was getting over. Anything is possible at this point.

If they want or plan to keep him heel, it only makes sense. Audiences were having an identity crisis everytime the swing happened.

Hmmm. That's not Maryse

Guess it wasn't wise to wait for the day of the show....

WWE RAW IS CURRENTLY SOLD OUT

Maybe I'll see what's available just right before showtime

It's going to be huge, too. GOTG2 is happening, Dave's performance is supposedly (haven't seen it yet, obviously) a huge breakout role and is one of the best characters in the whole thing. I can't wait to see it, but damn, the buzz is off the charts. He made the right move!

There's always someone in front of the venue selling tix

Indeed. Never tried this route before. Just have trust issues. I'm sure I can get a good deal though.

Heck he's probbaly going to be in Avengers 3!!!! God bless him. I know Marvel is cheap but I can't imagine he's stupid enough to turn that down.

 

[slightconfuse]

It will be Intereting to see the landscape of wrestling. Dispute what people think TNA served a purpose as the Wretling island if misfit toys.

Now there is no asylum for castaways, and bridge burners

 

[Bowser]

You could always hit up Stub Hub as well.

I'm happy for Big Dave. I hated that he was shoe-horned into the WM main event instead of D Bry, but he made everything right and even did the clean job for him.

GotG looks fun and it's currently 100% fresh on RT. Gonna go see it this weekend, saw a preview with Big Dave as Drax and he seemed like a great fit for the role.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

WWE event I'm most looking forward to: in shape Big Show

No interest in GotG but good for Batista, for sure.

So how do you carry a dude like this? Work him over and allow him a few brief flurries here and there (clotheslines) before going home? The Smackdown match against Del Rio was fairly illuminating, as Roman basically got in no offense. Reigns really needs his own 5 moves of doom. I guess the ring apron boot can stay, but the Samoan drop isn't cutting it.

 

[Aiii]

Spike actually cancelled TNA?

That is surprising, tbh.

Does this void the Double J non-compete for airing GWF on Spike?

 

[BronsonLee]

WWE just announced they signed Devitt

can't wait for Fergal McBriney to hit NXT

Real name... interesting? No NXT random name generator needed?

 

[Sibersk Esto]

WWE just announced they signed Devitt

Awesome! Please put the Prince back in his name

 

[Raw64life]

Russo's involvement being the straw that broke the camel's back for Spike TV would be hilarious if true. But I stopped having even the thought of TNA entering my brain months ago because it was pretty obvious it was dying. My expectations are low but lets see what Double J can do the second time around with a #2 promotion.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

WWE just announced they signed Devitt

Awesome they're totally gonna call him *fart noise for 20 minutes.*

 

[Hasney]

Real name... interesting? No NXT random name generator needed?

They've not come up with it yet!

Although, they are promoting Kenta and Devitt as big deals right now, I don't remember stories for Hero or Cesaro signing. Maybe they'll keep their names.

 

[Vylash]

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

All Japan's having to rebuild under Akiyama's leadership after the previous owner (Shiraishi) was ousted - they're in no position to challenge for any sort of international market.

Not true. Akiyama is a brah you don't want to mess with. And with the money men they have, oh boy.

 

[Xater]

What are the chances once TNA goes completely under Vince will buy the tape library? I think they might be interested just because of the Sting stuff. Should also be able to get it for peanuts.

WWE just announced they signed Devitt

Cool. When can I watch NXT again? It seems like the guys I am interested in jave still not shown up, or is Kalysto for example already wrestling on t he show?

PS: Fucking hell Hero, I'm in better shape than you are!

 

[crimzonflame]

So is Kurt Angle returning to WWE?

 

[Four_Chamber]

Devitt coming to NXT?!

So stoked, he's gonna be a superstar

 

[Hasney]

Man, these cast members will be pissed.

 

[Xater]

Devitt coming to NXT?!

He has talent, the look and is at least a decent talker. He will be fine in WWE.

 

[FlammableD]

Devitt is front page on WWE.com... that's insane. They're really hyping these NXT deals lately, and that whole article is an indy fan cocktease of jackets and paint. I can't wait.
