Yeah, as soon as I saw that they would have an update on Cena's "injury" on the just launched WWE Network, I knew it was a work.
Up until then, it looked legit though.

Best sell job Cena's done ever. He and Orton are so similar: when they're on, they're on but it seems like they don't mind settling for halfass.


"Fuck you guys! Please go see Guardians of the Galaxy this Summer though."
:smh:

:lol:
 
Anyone else watching NXT on WWE Network..... Shits dope, reminds me of old school ECW...I think they have the next RVD, dudes name is Adrian Neville....Dope.

Right now I'm watching the Cesaro-Zayn match. Neville is exciting to watch.

The WWE network needs work on the live stream. The feed stopped for me and then returned to the Cesaro-Zayn match instead of going to the live feed. Of course this why they're throwing this event so hopefully this issue is settled by the Hall of Fame ceremony let alone Wrestlemania.
 
Guys like Zayn, Cesaro and Neville makes me question the WWE when they act like they don't want guys from the indys. They're better than the guys the WWE has groomed for the most part.

But wait, aren't these guys being groomed by the WWE? I think they don't want guys from TNA.

:eek: Gotdamn, that fucker is inhuman! Next RVD? Naw, this motherfucka is RVD, AJ Styles (in his prime), Too Cold Scorpio, and Shawn Michaels all combined.
 
But wait, aren't these guys being groomed by the WWE? I think they don't want guys from TNA.

Truthfully a lot of those guys I mentioned are pretty much ready made and could pretty much go right to the main roster with no issues. But then there are others like Ryback who didn't spend time on the indys and have basically been signed by the WWE from Day 1 and still aren't good workers. AJ Lee and Nattie spent time elsewhere. Aksana was brought up entirely by the WWE along with Cameron and Naomi for example.
 
i assume that "Alpha Female" chick is TNA's answer to Chyna :lol:

That's it exactly. A TNA guy will have needed experience but will have a higher price than a guy from the indies, especially one who doesn't even have much ROH time like an Ambrose.
The fact that they've signed or talked to so many guys but haven't made even a hint of a move on AJ Styles or Matt Morgan is all you need to know.
But they will spend that money to bring in Batista, who's older and more expensive than both of them.
His heel promo was the first good thing he's done since he got back. He should just never be a face.

I doubt anyone anywhere in wrestling even thinks about Chyna but I'm curious to how Alpha Female fits in doing nearly the same position as Lei D'Tapa.

Now that they've cleared the field of expiring contracts and old guys, TNA's been a more cohesive show of late. No more having to rush stories because contracts were running out and a new talent for new matches (Bobby Roode vs MVP was pretty good).
Not sure I'm in love with the argument between Storm and Gunner but that's TNA's new philosophy to work in real life situations without it being all "work-shooty" (made that up myself). But the fight was good. Storm's got old school heat.
 
JOHN CENA UPDATE
by Mike Johnson @ 2:04 PM on 3/1/2014

While the injury angle on Raw was planned, John Cena did suffer a groin tear during the angle on Monday.
Cena gutted through a house show match last night in North Charleston, SC against Randy Orton but was hurting. He actually apologized to the live crowd afterward for not giving them the performance he wanted to give.

One person who worked the event last night said Cena was "pretty bad off" but was gutting through it since it was Wrestlemania season. "No matter what anyone wants to say about him, Cena's the machine - he keeps going."

We are also told WWE wanted to pull Cena from the house shows this weekend and he refused.


Not a fan of a lot of his work but he probably is the hardest working guy in pro wrestling.
 
CM Punk Expected to Return at Monday's RAW

CM Punk is expected to return at tomorrow night's Raw in Chicago, Illinois, according to Dave Meltzer on today's edition of Wrestling Observer Radio.

While Meltzer won’t say he’s 100% sure Punk will be at the show, his source, who he says is "one of the biggest stars in the industry," said that it’s 100% certain.

Punk has been absent from WWE programming since the Raw following the Royal Rumble on Jan. 27. Meltzer reported Punk had legitimately left the event after telling Vince McMahon he was "going home." By the following Wednesday, the official WWE website stopped advertising Punk for future events. The matter was publicly acknowledged by McMahon on Feb. 20 during a quarterly conference call to investors, with the CEO replying to a query concerning his status: "He's taking a sabbatical, let's just put it that way."



Damn, personally I was hoping he didn't show because those Chicago fans were going to give Raw hell Monday night.
 
Can TNA pull a screwjob that we DON'T see coming? First James Storm, now Austin Aries...:hmm:

Nope. We're "smarks", we see everything coming.
The turn didn't bother me but they had the same finish two weeks in a row and that's something they should have avoided.
Of course I watched Raw Monday and they had the same finish on the same show (Swagger vs Big E, Reigns vs Wyatt) and they seem to have a heel turn every other week too.
If the two companies are trying to set the table for what's to come for the spring and summer, cool but neither of them should have any more heel turns for 6 months.

Meltzer is done if this doesn't happen. He's been off a lot lately.



Since I don't expect many of us will buy the One Night Only ppv coming up, I don't think these are really spoilers but, just in case



SPOILER ALERT


Seiya Sanada defeated Austin Aries to capture the TNA X-Division championship earlier today in Japan. The bout was taped as part of TNA's One Night Only: Outbreak PPV.
Senada is coming to the United States next week for the Lockdown PPV (and with the title change, could also be in for the post-Lockdown TV tapings), so if TNA wants, they could book him to drop the title back.


The Bro-Mans captured the TNA Tag team championships this morning, defeating The Wolves and the team of Kaz Hayashi and Shuji Kondo to win the belts as part of the TNA One Night Only: Outbreak PPV.

Thats the thing. Nobody is asking him to work through groin tears. Dude needs to check his ego. Take your ass home and heal up. Bastard has won the title 14 times in 10 years and his act has been stale for 8 of those years.
 
So they slowly but surely trying to etch Bryan into a title match at Mania huh? Now they making him fight Batistia tonight out of nowhere? :lol::lol::lol:

The writers are scrambling to get this shit together before this go down as the worst Wrestlemania in history.

Bryan is going to give Batistia an Asthma attack. That out of shape wind bag can't wrestle more than 5mins how the FUCK can he main event mania?

they are going to turn it to a triple threat match. No way in hell WWE is going to have a damn Orton/ Batista main event for WrestleMania, two heels cant main event and they sure as hell can't turn Orton face this close to WrestleMania, they'll waste all the time they invested into turning Orton into a top heel. The worse thing they did was bring Dave back and have him win the Royal Rumble so quickly, shitting on Bryan and alienating the WWE fans to the point they start "hi-jacking" shows.
 
this shit is comedy. Batista is the biggest joke in wrestling now. you notice how slow paced that match with Bryan was? they slowed it down for him. he can't wrestle on Bryan's pace. no stamina, no agility, and not one fan.

it was hilarious to think he can sell that movie Guardians of the Galaxy he's prolly hurting it if anything.

His act has been stale for us but, looking at it realistically, no one has to ask him, he knows, like all of us, he's still the horse pulling the cart. Hopefully this is FINALLY the year they make new main eventers but until they do, WWE needs him on the road and doing appearances.
That's no an ego thing, that's him shouldering the creative mismanagement WWE has been for most of the past decade.

Have you forgotten 4? 5? 11?
As long as they hide the title match, if they leave it as/is, under Taker/Brock, Bryan/HHH, and Cena/Wyatt, they'll be alright.

No way in hell WWE is going to have a damn Orton/ Batista main event for WrestleMania, two heels cant main event and they sure as hell can't turn Orton face this close to WrestleMania, they'll waste all the time they invested into turning Orton into a top heel.

I don't think that was the mistake. Everyone knew Batista was going to win as soon as he was announced. The problem was not even having Bryan in the Rumble and having the supposedly face Batista constantly referred to as HHH and Steph's "good friend" while they're heels and he's supposed to be a face. The way they put Cena with any babyface getting hot, they should have done with Batista and Bryan with Dave promising him a title shot after Mania. They make the title match come off as one of HHH's boys against another (which it is but they shouldn't do that in the storyline).
To be honest, they haven't shit on Bryan at all. He has not only solidified his spot, he took Punk's and now gets Punk's matches and feuds. He gets more tv time than anyone in wrestling, including Cena and he never loses clean.
Considering he cuts some of the worst promos for a main eventer, he's in an incredible spot and that's before they put the belt on him.

Meltzer used to be the man but that was a long time ago. Now he's getting worked by his "sources".

So they finally let the Outlaws be heels and stop doing the intro. Good but damn a title change before Mania? I hope they let the Usos face the Rhodes at Mania for the tag titles. It's not like there are a lot of tag teams to choose from anymore.
