If anyone's got the hankering to watch some TNA stuff, this guy's got a pretty good selection. And let's face it, if there's ever been a promotion that benefits from watching individual matches without the benefit of storyline context, it's probably TNA. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-X50CfxglIMHUZ7fxC5DSg

Next mass update seems to be adding 1999 Nitros.

I didn't mind the DX reunion run, I even thought it was kind of funny how they would find ways to get HBK out of having to make sexual jokes (because Jesus I guess), but their 5 on 2 feud with the Spirit Squad killed it for me. Not only did they beat them easily, they ended it with DX putting them in a shipping crate literally marked "return to OVW". It was so needlessly petty, and it ended the career for 4 of the 5,

She just posted a CJ Perry demo reel on YouTube and WWE immediately blocked it on copyright grounds. Unless this is just all some meta-angle she seems to be trying to provoke them now. Edit: stupid mobile posting

She clearly seems to be thinking she's being fucked with by the company if the tone of her tweets are any indication.

So I wonder what the deal is with Lana, her Twitter is full of "don't let the man get you down" type of stuff, and she disappeared off TV even before Rusev fell into the Schrodinger's Cat black hole of WWE injuries.

So I guess when Stardust dies a death tonight, they can claim they're being topical? (Too soon?)

The Artist Formerly Known as La Sombra made his debut on an NXT house show in Tampa and reports seem to agree he was pretty good. It's funny how he's been kind of forgotten in all the Bullet Club news, when he's probably the one with the longest future ahead of him.

Considering the reason Angle left in the first place was Vince didn't want an Olympic hero dying on their watch, I doubt he'd be offered a deal. I don't think he would pass a physical, and nothing he's done since leaving suggests he changed his lifestyle at all. There were several times he would be on TNA TV looking pilled out of his gourd and there were the multiple times he was pulled over for suspected DUIs.

Like the new belts for the most part, but not a huge fan of the Jr title being a copy of the main belt. Reminds me of the 8 million NWA belts floating around Mexico that were for different weight classes but all looked the same.

How would a Mania flop in the post PPV area by measured? It really can't since even getting 70-80k in the stands will make it a huge gate no matter what the card ends up. Plus it will most likely provide a nice bump in Network subs for the quarter too.

Vince would laugh in all their faces and tell them to STFU. The McMahon family holds like 95% of the stock with any actual power, and Wall Street would freak out if anyone other than Vince was in charge.

It doesn't destroy the card in the sense of main event plans, but this is the type of thing that tends to cause Vince to panic and throw all his plans out the window.

So WO.com just dropped the bomb that Cena is the latest to need shoulder surgery, taking him out of WM. Not sure how much more boned WWE can be now. Wouldn't be shocked to see Bryan suddenly able to pass his concussion tests.

I would hope WWE wouldn't have the balls to induct Owen in the HOF after pissing off his wife with the DVD release. The HOF is all about good PR and there's no reason for them to stick their proverbial dicks in that particular hornet's nest.

That's the only way I could believe that story, I could totally see Hunter just fucking with the noobs. Otherwise, it just seems like something written as fanfic designed as fap material for people who think Hunter is the devil.

No matter how this ends up, Finn Balor trolling people on Twitter is the best thing in wrestling right now. After numerous hashtag tweets, he posted a photo of himself holding the door open at the Performance Center wearing a Bullet Club shirt looking at his watch saying "they should have been here by now".

Well Averno was going to be signed as a favor to Sin Cara before they realized what a doofus he was. I doubt we'll see the same thing here.

No , he a monster that dropa human being from the roof of Kemper Arena. Fritz drove two of his sons to suicide.

Sinclair is worth $ 3 billion , the WWE is worth $ 800, 000 . Sinclair owns 179 TV stations and they can buy and sell the WWE 3 times and have money left over. They run ROH on the cheap by choice , Agreed. But WWE's business plan of late states National TV = direct competition. Doesn't matter if Sinclair is worth trillions, if they stick to their local affiliates WWE doesn't say boo to them.

Getting national TV gets WWE's attention. ROH got on Destination America, NJPW, got on Axess or whatever the hell that station's called now. ROH's off DA so I would expect WWE to go back to not paying much attention other than the occasional building date collisions.

Don't forget Jim Crockett Jr. also bought out quite a few of our beloved territories. There's a case to be made that he would be the evil monster of wrestling instead had Vince not cock-blocked him from PPV in 1988. Vince did the same thing every promoter tried to do when cable took over local TV, he's just the one who succeeded.

I think it's that and how the most popular stars in MMA are a woman (Ronda) and a 140 pound Irishman, and that may have changed the mindset that guys have to be 250 pound jacked up musclemen to be stars. Granted, Vince is always going to have a place in his heart for bodybuilders, but there seem to be enough other voices he listens to that vouch for the smaller guys.

According to the taping reports I'm seeing, the answer seems to be no.
