If Zayn can't compete, you know what this means...

O shit is Dean turning heel at payback?

If the Shield reforms, I'm tuning into Raw the next night. Unless Dean wins the title somehow in a random swerve which makes me watch because I enjoy Russo booking, I can't see another outcome that makes me watch.

ARMCHAIR BOOKING TIME: Shield reforms with Seth and Ambrose lying down for Roman to pin both of them and they end up defending the title under Freebird rules. Summerslam is Brock V the 3 of them in what is billed as a fatal four way and not only does Brock dominate, but to keep them strong, personal ambition gets in the way so they do end up fighting each other.

Is there any chance at all Lana's terrible face turn is all just an act? That when John Cena inevitably tries to save the damsel in distress from big, bad Rusev after slut-shaming her for the past few months, she turns around and just kicks Cena in the balls? Please?

How does Quack get away with such blatant infringement? Year and years of font theft, name theft, being a bad wrestler, bullying BronsonLee....HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT.

I'm guessing if Zayn is really injured, we're either getting Owens vs Balor again or maybe they just put Samoa Joe in there to make his first match seem special.

Joe's still going to NXT right?

Yep! I think some of Corgan's fingerprints are already gonna be on it too. At least worth watching for that.

Think I'll watch that tomorrow and give it a shot. TNA have needed a change for a while and at least Corgan is a huge fan. Especially a fan of the good stuff in terms of ECW.

Just please god no more nostalgia ECW booking.

Going off of the Bryan and Vinny show recently, TNA creative has been good and the shows have been reflecting that. Just not enough viewers due to switch to Destination America.

I hope so too, but it seems everyone/Vince likes Lana, and RuLana has run its course, so a face turn is inevitable.

It's funny to think that Lana is going to get the bigger push of the two.

The shows really have been pretty good lately.

It's just too bad it took them losing Spike TV to actually change.

I'll probably tune in on a live Impact depending on my mood tonight.

Rhyno V Raven in TNA 2005 was much better than it had any right to be with fat Raven in the match. The fact he came back again was hilarious.

I am glad Rhyno is back in WWE though. He's one of the last guys along with Brock (although not on the same level) that has such a physical charisma that it makes up for any mic skills.

Since Zayn is on the shelf, it's time for Rhyno to give Owens that big fight feel. That match would help out the slump that NXT is currently in.

To be honest, I've not fully enjoyed Owens past his debut night, especially as a heel. THat part might be an issue with bulding him up against Riley though. If they can build Rhyno up as a face and give them some time, I'd be all for Owens V Rhyno to sell me on the big guys that I've never fully been sold on WWE wise.

Hell, even Balor/Owens was a little disappointing, so Owens against another big guy with some time would be very interesting to me.

The problem with heel Owens is that he's a fat nerd with a scrappy beard, spikey hair from the late 90s, and a Rock mark tattoo so wrestle fans see too much of themselves in him.

To be real Owens will forever be the ROH guy that had a good storyline and stable. The problem with his NXT run is that he's not doing shit but being a big bully without the teacher giving a fuck. They need to let him be more of a jackass to the point Rhyno steps in and be like "enough is enough". This would be the setting point of the feud without Rhyno looking like a huge baby face.

Bottom line Owens needs Zayn like the Batman needs Joker.

And cute uses of other Pumpkins songs and lyrics in the commentary.

"He wins by a...LANDSLIDE." *cue the music*

"James Storm is clearly a man who can...DISARM YOU WITH A SMILE." *cue the music*

"We are here TONIGHT! TONIGHT! And we are going to rock it like it's 1979!"

...

*cue the music*

Eh, I'm willing to give Corgan a chance. He's sounded very sincere in his interviews. We'll see how it goes. I'm sure Destination America will likely try to have a say as well.

Co-signed regarding no more ECW nostalgia. Take the spirit of ECW, but don't be ECW. Take chances, try new things, and engage your audience. But yeah, ECW was mostly shit looking back on it.

For 'being sabotaged' and 'not used right' Bret sure was on the cover of nearly every PPV promo, event promos, and merchandise in WCW.

Getting through to the end of the Expanded Edition of The Death of WCW and I wanna post a question - who's your favorite late-90s era WCW booker, from the following:

a) Kevin "Above The Mortal Marks" Nash
b) Eric Bischoff
c) Vince Russo

This book just gets so, so, sooooooo depressing towards the end.
