Ryback got a staph infection.

That's some weird shit.

Full circle.

Put a Z-Pak on it, brotha.

 

[RP912]

Ryback fell victim to the karma I see :/...

This has been a long time coming, but it's great to see finally happen.

Glad to hear both these things. The temporary GAF rainbow love logo is incredible and one of the best things I've seen in my time here. Not even ashamed to say I teared up when I first saw it; I had been constantly refreshing my Twitter to see the news, and when I did I celebrated with friends. When I came back and got on here, I saw the logo change. It was a wonderful day, and it's great to see it still around for 2 more weeks. Even better because people are legit mad over a wonderful image.

 

[Man God]

The original animated rainbow logo suuuuucked. This one is much nicer.

Edit: There was an official Iwata logo made, but it won't be used now because of the demand.

Reminds me of WWF -> WWE. I wonder at what point NeoGaf is going to drop the G.

 

[somedevil]

Well they are showing the battle royal but not sure if all these camera angles are there to avoid Hernandez as much as possible.

Big Ryck needs to ditch divari

 

[Striker]

Much like Vince back in the day when he was shirtless or in a beater, Steph needs to stay away from wearing heels and standing next to the women wrestlers. She physically makes them most of them look like her little sisters.

Has any of them got to touch her, yet? At least back 15 years or so Trish got to smack her around a bit.

Not really, she's been annoyingly invincible since the authority started. Unless you count that time Roman Reigns roofied Vickie into throwing up on her.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS PENTAGOD IN THE BUILDING

FUED OF THE YEAAAAAAAAAAAR

Edit: wow that segment was amazing.

GET HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[funkystudent]

Ryback staph Infection story seems like a total work.

Reminds me of that time Lashly had a liver enzyme thing or some BS just so WWE could go "LOOK! The wellness policy does more then test for drugs!!"

Just one week after doing their best numbers of the season, this week's Tough Enough episode drew only 997,000 viewers, down a significant 18% from last week's 1.221 million. This is the lowest number in Tough Enough history on the USA Network.

The 18-49 demographic was only a 0.37, down from 0.41. This still tops the low of 0.32 from two weeks ago. In a positive note, Tough Enough ranked #18 among cable shows for the night, up from #20 last week.

Dario has lost complete control over his show.

Aztec Medals aint shit

How many of you are going to see Trainwreck so you can see John Cena's bare ass?

A friend, who hasn't seen it but like reads every celebrity gossip site ever told me "I heard it looks weird"

 

[JPeeples83]

Dixie's opening promo was bizarre, but compelling. Bully coming out in a pleather sports coat amused me. I gave zero fucks about the battle royal. Once it started with Crazzy Steve, I was reminded about how dead the company is. This sucked. Anderson-Tenay interview was okay, I suppose. X Title four way was a lot of fun, botched finish aside. Women's match was sloppy and had an even more botched finish. World title match wasn't much, but the Eli turn was...okay I guess. Eli isn't going to #standup, but will he #showhisimpact or #jointheforce?

[Data West]

So, watched Mark Jindrak's shoot and he talks a good bit about the Powerplant. He talks about how Sarge didn't train them how to wrestle, how to do psychology, how to do any of that stuff which REALLY matches up wit hthe Natural Born Thrillers and Goldberg. And that Orndorff didn't do anything.

So that got me wondering... Would Russo's WCW have been succesful if he actually had a strong talent pool of young guys who had some kind of training instead of athletic guys who didn't? Like you had Vampiro from Mexico, but every Natural Born Thriller was a product of the Power Planet. Jindrak said he didn't learn how to wrestle until WWE/OVW.

 

[TheBear]

Is Tough Enough worth watching? Everything I've heard makes it sounds pretty shit.

 

[Data West]

8 years ago and this shit looks smoother and less obvious than anyone trying to do the spots today.

 

[lovely ladies]

It's so-so. It's not too late to catch up if you find yourself liking it though, you haven't missed many elimination eps.

Jindrak/O'Haire, though green, I thought wrestled pretty well. Shows how much I know about the Power plant.

I don't think Russo booking could have been successful... you need someone with a more delicate touch. Someone who had patience. If I remember the Death of WCW book correctly, the talent really liked how Johnny Ace booked the shows... but he booked them for a few weeks only.

It's crazy to think how well DDP picked up wrasslin at his advanced age.

EDIT: ROH wishes it had the Impact Zone crowd.

[Cheetos is Pretty Awesome]

So Bully Ray's back on Impact Struggle? Damn I thought he had one more NXT run left in him after that Rumble pop.

 

[Data West]

oh Hernandez left TNA?

Hey guys, is Brock Lesnar ever going to have a kid?

Like, I've just been thinking.

Someone else asked this too. Is this a thing? He already has some.

Actual star powers with draw like Furnas and Korffat have no idea what 'quiet Japanese crowd' is and probably think that's just people making excuses

This is probably one of the best Japanese crowds ever by the way. And is one of the best tag matches of the decade.

My man, what the fuck has gone wrong to get you to this point?

I want to know how to transition from WCW Powerplant refugee to telenovela star

That's not something to laugh about brah. Chikara is one promotion that actually utilizes continous story lines and booking.

Now that's a goddamn wrestling crowd. Great match too thanks Data.

At this point people must have realized that TNA is not gonna die anytime soon, right? they'll live in a vegetative state for years

Yeah, but once they lose their TV deal they'll be even more insignificant so they'll be dead for all intents and purposes.

As good as I think she is in the ring, I don't get Charlotte calling herself genetically superior when she has the torso of Dan Henderson and no hips or ass.

Have you seen her ass? It's fucking weird.

Very good NXT main event though. I hope the main roster ladies can hang.

 

[Aiii]

I'd be okay if NXT was 60 minutes of Alexa Bliss every week.
