There's actually rumors of this?

Yes. Bischoff is getting close to Spike and basically the go to guy in TNA for Spike. Spike wants to own a wrestling company as it's better for them like how they now own Bellator. Bischoff and Hogan would start the new promotion for Spike and basically have a blank check to do whatever they want. Dixie Carter would be left out in the cold and TNA most likely would go out of business unless they find another tv network to take them.

I did like how she did Chyna's big move better than Chyna.

They could Hire Dixie as a Nitro girl!!!!!
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[Nocturnowl]

Just think, that match was the downfall of John Morrison.

It's a shame that the Jomosapien failed to evolve, he must have ate Vince's lunch to suffer such a decline.

Or maybe he should have just dropped Melina but oh well.

I agree with 1997 being the best year in wrestling history between what was going on in WWF, the nWo invasion of WcW was red hot and ECW really peaked in 97 too. Such a great and unpredictable time esp in the WWF. There was no clear cut top baby face in the company. Bret turned heel and HBK was heel, Stone Cold was just emerging and played a heel. Matches and feuds were great as well. I can feel the hatred between Taker and Paul Bearer, Stone Cold/Bret, Ahmed/Nation, Bret/HBK, Candians/USA.

Wrestlers really sold feuds well back than.

Los Boriquas/DoA.

Atleast Impact sounds good tonight. Austin Aries is all over the show.

God damn that'd be awful.

Hmm. I don't know, I don't realy believe it because Hogan and Bischoff seem like nothing more than part timers. I don't know if they could actually run jack shit really.

Undertaker had both shoulder and hip surgeries over the past year. When he showed up last week it was estimated he was lighter than before, maybe 275-280 pounds. At one point the feeling was that he would retire after this year and going 20-0, but that is no longer the feeling, particularly since it’s not being hinted at. A lot will depend on how his body holds up after this match but the betting line is he’ll be back, perhaps for a few years since he’s now down to probably doing one match per year.

There is still hope for Taker vs. Sting!

Bischoff ran WCW and has his own production company?

Yeah, it really shows what goes into making a tv show. I like it because it's about wresting, but not from a wrestler's point of view. So yeah, it's different.

If you haven't read Jericho's two books, you need to. Should be required reading for any wrestling fan.

The Rock is back next week too?


Email I got from TD Garden:

Don't miss your last chance to see "The People's Champion" - The Rock, as he returns to Boston, home of his WM 28 opponent, John Cena.

What will The Heartbreak Kid have to say to his best friend, Triple H, after The Game said two weeks ago that he was better than Shawn Michaels?

Is he going to be at every Raw between how and mania?

What will Vince do if Wrestlemania buys are down from last year?

 

[MIKEAL]

What will Vince do if Wrestlemania buys are down from last year?

Hire Vince Russo and Jim Cornette, reassign JR to talent relations and announce table duties. Fire all previous writers and restart the attitude era!.... :'(

 

[BoboBrazil]

What will Vince do if Wrestlemania buys are down from last year?

Blame Punk and Bryan, strip them of the titles, and give them to Cena and Orton.

 

[Cagey]

F'reals.

ROH Video Wire; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RShcrijp0NI featuring an awesome promo from Kevin Steen hyping his match with Jimmy Jacobs on Sunday, Jay Lethal talking about defending the TV Title against Tomaso Ciampa and Team Richards talking about their match with Team Edwards in the main event of the 10th Anniversary iPPV this Sunday.

Also, El Generico will be making his EVOLVE debut at EVOLVE 11 on April 13th in Toronto and live on iPPV via http://www.wwnlive.com - so far the talent list for EVOLVE 11 is pretty stacked, although no matches have been announced yet;

-Chuck Taylor (6-3)
-Dave Finlay (1-0)
-Low Ki (1-0)
-AR Fox (2-1)
-Sami Callihan (3-3)
-Bobby Fish (2-4)
-Super Smash Brothers (1-2)
-El Generico (0-0)

Generico vs Taylor or Callihan would suit me fine.

JR-Why do you like to recruit football players to train to be pro wrestlers?

The history of football players becoming successful pro wrestlers has long been established. Simply do the research. They are generally physically and mentally tough men, they come from a structured, team environment, understand the locker room mentality and obviously have above average athletic skills. Football is certainly not the only sport that should be scouted. Also, highly motivated, well trained independent wrestlers are also high on my personal list of people to scout. No matter one's background, athleticism and the 'it' factor are essential along with a passion for the genre.

did you guys ask JR this question?
