That's what you told me about Hogan and Austin back in the '80 and '90s, Sibersk Esto.

NEVER GONNA DRAW A GODDAMN DIME

 

[slightconfuse]

True but other TNA stars worth hiring are IMO.

EC3
Galloway
Lashley
Moose
Mike Bennett & Maria
Eli Drake

Most of the X-Division (they can join the new Cruiserweights)

Much as I'd like to see the Hardy's go to WWE, I am certain Vince would force them to drop the Broken Matt and Brother Nero gimmicks, if anything purely out of spite for the fact that that it wasn't his idea. Then there is also the very high probability of Jeff failing a drug test.

Most of those guys make more money doing indies than in wwe

 

[Pikma]

So this is their way of fixing SD's lack of talent problem?

 

[AssassiN]

If i remember correctly, didn't TNA only have like 5 Wrestlers on acutal contracts, whereas the rest where on pay per appearance deals - so if Vince did buy TNA he wouldn't get most of the roster (but they'll only be after the tape library anyway).

 

[ReiGun]

History shows that anyone they do get will be sent to NXT, so probably not.

 

[Adree]

Who is even left at TNA who they'd want to sign?

This just in from correspondent strobogo: Alundra Blayze and Bertha Faye headlined a RAW for the championship in 1995. I repeat: Alundra Blayze and Bertha Faye wrestled a RAW main event years before Lita, Stephanie, or Trish.

More on this as it develops.

The guys I named are definitely worth picking up IMO.

October 23, 1995. It is in fact the main event. It is in fact a title match. The only thing after it is the HBK I got beat up by 30 marines interview with JR.

Are you just learning. About wwe revising history

Next thing you will tell me is that it wasn't the plan to have Bryson main event mania 30

 

[imBask]

oh I know!

DB told them he was going to wrestle in Japan so they were looking for someone to replace him!

It was the last match on the card, though the final segment was a JR interview with Shawn Michaels.

 

[Man God]

Also of note that RAW often didn't really have main events before mid 1996. Sometimes the biggest match of the night went on last, oftentimes it was in the middle or even curtain jerked.

Yeah yeeeaaah.

UPDATE: WWE.com has learned that negotiations between Intercontinental Champion The Miz and SmackDown LIVE General Manager Daniel Bryan have become strained and now appear to have completely broken down, with the two sides unable to come to an equitable agreement.

Fucking Bryan can't put his damn emotions down for once, ffs.

Miz is being too greedy!

 

[Toki767]

It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if they traded Miz for Rusev.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Miz: "My contract is up after No Mercy, and I am leaving the company with the title"

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

What if Reigns beats Rusev for the title at Clash and then they trade him with the Miz?

I would probably have an aneurysm since we'd be that much closer to a John Cena/Roman Reigns torch passing wrestlemania match.

 

[Fox318]

Oh no miz could be off tv

https://youtu.be/dmyJ1RVfnPE

 

[Toki767]

The really silly thing about the whole angle is that they could just strip Miz of the title if he won't defend it.

 

[Raw64life]

And Bryan or Shane can't just strip him of the title because ?

Because that ends the story.

Miz deserves it all, I'm working night and day to get him whatever he wants.

It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if they traded Miz for Rusev.

If I wanted Rusev don't you think I would've drafted him?

 

[The Strokes]

Nah, Jack Swagger is.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Draft contracts are apparently 2 months (see Strowman Jobber 1, Miz, Swagger)

lmfao, even 2 months later they still can't even begin to pretend they ever had a clue what to do with this brand split

Comical levels of ineptness on display from the McMahons (yes, all of them, don't defend HHH)

If WWE buys TNA...what will become of Broken Matt and Nero? D:

Everything wasn't even set until hour before the show started.

 

[Striker]

They didn't do anything with Bully Ray. They would do the same mistake--Brother Nero would bring in merch sales and probably get a push.

I wonder if they've recouped the cost of that movie yet.

Pipe Bomb from the real best in the world.

 

[Tagyhag]

Miz: "My contract is up after No Mercy, and I am leaving to RAW with the title"

Ain't no way Vince (Or Steph) is going to allow SD to come even close to RAW in ratings.

In 6 months time a Smackdown episode will consist of a 1 hour Jack Swagger vs Baron Corbin match and a Carmella chant session.

Due to work I couldn't watch any CWC until now so avoided the net like the plague for several days.

What a fucking incredible tournament and the best thing WWE has produced in eons. I loved everything about it because I actually CARED about match outcomes.

Im not even going to bother looking through the thread to see what opinions I missed as I don't care. I loved it all and that's all that matters to me. Well done TJ, Pinoy Boy would be proud.

Thread consensus was unanimously it being the best thing modern WWE's done. Even ZSJ haters (justified) thought it went astounding aside from those matches, and I came off being completely happy with it being the only thing Ibushi's ever doing in the company.

I'm more wondering if having a ride for 100 years at the park was part of his deal and they are stuck with this.

Did I see Hasney banned in some thread a second ago? I think I did.

Road Dogg and X-Pac should probably drop the DX schtick. It's August of 2000, guys. Come on. I'm getting Randy the Ram vibes.

 

[Professor Beef]

People in the thread told me that WWE had planned this out in advance. I don't know who to believe anymore!

The concept of a brand split was planned like days before the official USA announcement there was going to be a split and live SD, and stuff like Reigns and Br*ck on Raw/Cena and Styles on SD was planned soon after that. Midcarders etc weren't because they flatout aren't cared about and full rosters weren't set until day of draft.

 

[SallyIsNow]

It's odd watching full on Stone Cold with the vest, bald head, and everything coming out to the ringmaster music. No skulls either.
