So, aside from the UK tour, TNA has no more shows announced? Are they officially dead? (barring a last minute TV deal popping up?)
Fare thee well Dixie.
Fare thee well Dixie.
As seen on WWE TV, the company has been running vignettes for Luke Harper and Erick Rowan to be freed by Bray Wyatt from The Wyatt Family. These vignettes are a brainchild of Vince McMahon.
Vince is reportedly high on Harper because of his size. Vince sees Harper as a bigger star than Wyatt.
Triple H reportedly feels differently and was against splitting up the group but did not resist the decision.
One source pointed to the fact the writing was on the wall for the faction and that Vince was essentially killing them off so why not let him have his way and push Harper. This same source expressed concern because Harper is nowhere close to Wyatt on the mic.
Another issue is that with the talent roster so thin and Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose working towards the top of the card, Vince feels that by splitting The Wyatts, they can end up with two top acts instead of one.
The source for this being?
Great stuff right here.
It's Monday!
Cough Ascension coughBray being, essentially, a cult leader without any followers hurts is character (assuming they aren't planning on replacing them with newer Wyatts). Goddamnit Vince stop ruining good things.

Started season 2 of Arrow this weekend. I'm thoroughly convinced that Arrow is a better adaptation of Batman than any of the Nolan films.

And are there any amazing wrestling or video game podcasts? I listen to most of the Austin and JR podcasts and I like them. If there's something that focuses on the '90s (and is good), that would be cool. As for video games, I've never listened to anything so if there's a really great episode or whatever that you know of, shoot -- I haven't heard it.
Vince is right for splitting up the Wyatts. Had Bray not been as buried as he's been lately, they still could be something special. I think they, as a whole, can be salvageable, but it'd take way too much work to do so. Rowan is screwed, though, if it goes that route.
Harper has always been very talented and works creatively with his size. He's very good. Rowan is serviceable. Wyatt, though, without his family...what next?

Honestly, I think pairing the Ascension with Bray wouldn't work out. Harper and Rowan worked because they both essentially looked like hillybilly horror movie characters. Ascension are pretty far on the other side of the spectrum from that - they're more like the Neo Road Warriors than anything else.
Goddamn guys I really love the Ascension. I really really do. Are they supposed to be on Raw tonight?
Not without Bray getting a makeover, I agree. Ascension should bring back the big collared coats. Or some capes.

I am fucking puzzled really, Flair is supposed to be on, so maybe they'll debut Charlotte tonight?
It's so weird, they've lost so many people over the past few months, I don't understand why guys like Neville and Zayn aren't on the main roster already. They already do dark matches and house shows every week, at least five people on NXT are more than ready to move on to the main roster, so why hold off? Get them on TV pronto.
At least then your product will not be so stale for a little while with some fresh matches that we haven't seen 2000 times over the past year or so.
It's also nice because smart-mark jerkass WWE fans booed him relentlessly because he sidelined their boy Daniel Bryan (who's first run on top was awful, second was cut short because he's great as the chaser, not as the champ), and now he's a sizeable part of two mega bucks franchises.
And he's humble about it. If it was me, I'd be tearing into those 'smart' fans in interviews regularly. Wrestling fans are the worst.

I think a lot of it is finding the right time and place to make the pieces fit. It's not just one person being called up that's the issue - making sure the ideal opponents for their feuds are free, etc. Lots of moving parts, and a lot we're not privy to.
All those creeps with 1,000 year old witches as their avatars bitching about the soundtrack.¡HarlequinPanic!;134135252 said:Gaming side hissing and recoiling in horror to cover their grotesque visages at the notion of an all rap soundtrack to WWE 2k15
Would anyone like to talk about the NJPW show last night? Looked REALLY good according to Boots' Twitter. And Tanahashi...still the fucking MAN.
