Is TNA becoming better than Raw as I haven't watched TNA (apart from the Bubba botched table spot a few months back) in about 2 years now.

[Shenmue18]

I've been hearing that TNA's been doing a lot better recently, not surprising as they usually start to do better around the BFG series, and now they have a good chance to show their stuff as I'm sure a lot of people who are sick of the sh*t WWE's putting on with F*ckboy Buckethead in the main event for the 7 trillionth time are looking for new options. Keep in mind "How to cancel WWE Network" was the number 1 search trend on Google after MITB, so there's undoubtedly some people who are fed up with this f*ckery. I'll have to start watching TNA again here soon, I'd recommend starting to watch once the BFG series starts since even the most brainless of WWE sheep will be able to enjoy some of the good matches TNA will put on during August/September, this was around the time last year that they were having good to great matches every week.

[Scarface187]

Dixie Carter hasn't been on the program for a few weeks I think now. Kurt Angle is now the kayfabe GM/boss/whatever which is a nice change from the typical heel boss. I can't remember the last time we've seen a face boss role. What, Mick Foley?

 

Not to mention there was a segment with Bubba Ray (I refuse to call him Bully Ray), Rhyno and Tommy Dreamer all in the same ring last Impact. Great seeing more ECW guys. If you want to see something from last week look up Austin Aries vs Sanada. That was a really good match.

KENTA in NXT? Those guys have no idea who they are about to step in the ring with. I hope Mojo Rawley pisses him off just so he can go straight shoot on his ass.

I absolutely hate the way that WWE puts everyone through NXT, the guy has more experience in the ring than the majority of their roster but he still has to come up through developmental? Total waste of time in my opinion. It's like Vince's ego has gotten so inflated that he seriously thinks these guys don't know how to wrestle until they are put through developmental when in reality most of their "home grown" talents have ended up being sh*tty or lackluster in the ring, but whatever, if WWE wants to waste their own investment by keeping him in NXT for a few months or a year, so be it.

[jukebox]

You guys hear about the battle royal for the vacant intercontinental championship at battle ground... barrets having shoulder surgery. Don't remember anyone mentioning this.

[Shenmue18]

I'm sure someone's said something about it, I haven't been watching so I really don't care about what's going on too much besides Seth Rollins vs Ambrose, which should be cool. Also, saw this picture of Bray Wyatt busted open, apparently Flair and Wyatt got into a brawl after Wyatt's match with Cena and Bray got busted open. Dammit Flair, it's one thing to blade yourself in every segment you're in, but blading other people in your segments is going too far!

 

[Scarface187]

For a second I got excited and thought this was gonna be Raw then I forgot Raw is live. You know they're not going to do that sh*t live.

[Crokey]

It's Flairs new gimmick, a take on an old wrestling legend Abdullah, he's returning as "Naitch the Butcher"

 

@jukebox: You right I don't think it was mentioned here in great detail (maybe in passing) but it's been on most of the Dirtscreens for a couple of weeks now. Annoying really as Wade was just starting to pick up some steam.

[Shenmue18]

I do feel bad for Barrett, every time he seems to have a gimmick start to build up some momentum, he gets an untimely injury. It seems like the WWE wants to actually get behind him (Which is rare) but the guy just can't stay healthy. Doesn't help that they had him work with Swagger as well.

If the podcast is true and not Punk trolling it's going to be freaking AWESOME!!

The Pipebomb with Phil Brooks

He could use that as a podcast name, or a porno DVD name.

Just what the world needs.....another podcast

[reform]

Looks like Sting'll be on Raw tonight, either as a pre-record or via satelite.

If that's true WWE have f*cked up again. Why have the one guy some people have waited for years to show up in the WWE, only to have his first apperance not be a live one.

[AznDragon89]

wwe has a new poll on their website:

Agreed. But I'm assuming this isn't to get the ball rolling for any kind of match or anything, and just to do with the fact that he's going to be in WWE 2K15 (Or his DVD?).

 

I guess we'll see.

Also BREAKING RUMOUR: Punk has apparently signed a 6 month extension to his contract to give him time to decide what to do about Wrestlemania 31.

 

I've not got that rumour verified yet, but if I get more info I'll let you know.

[reform]

Late on the sting news, and I doubt the Punk news very much.

[Crokey]

Did you read the Link?

 

And the other is rumour.

Will he be singing? And if so will he sing with The Police or do a solo performance?

 

As for the Punk rumor, Punk rumors pop up almost on a weekly basis, so I wouldn't buy into it hook, line and sinker just yet

I'm more excited for the game announcement than the actual show tonight. I'm hoping they throw in a WCW mode since they've been doing these nostalgia modes lately but given the fact that WWE doesn't like to acknowledge the greatness of their former competition I doubt it.

[Shenmue18]

Yeah, WWE will never give WCW credit for the greatness they've done. Even if they do, they'll always make sure to bring up the last 2-3 years of the company and how Vince McMahon "beat" Ted Turner.

[Corndawg93]

I'm acturally hoping for the Cena mode I pitched earlier now that Cena has a Prominate role with the game
