THE WRESTLING THREAD: HHH KEEPS DOING HHH THINGS.....
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357
- Start date
I haven't kept up with wrestling in years but it seemed like yesterday people were acting like TNA could compete with WWF(I'm oldschool). I figured something must have been up when I saw Hulk Hogan in the Wrestlemania promo. I was like "wasn't he supposed to be running TNA?"
Leaked copy of Monday's Raw script. http://imgur.com/a/u9Xj3#0
Apparently both Rey Mysterio and AJ are injured and Miz and Summer Rae are gone for the next month.

Summer Rae's RAW Absence, CM Punk/RAW Script
Posted by Steve Carrier on 04/15/2014 at 07:00 PM
Apparently Monday's RAW script was leaked online. Here are some notes that were included in the script:
- CM Punk was listed under the "Miscellaneous" category of wrestlers on the script for Monday's RAW as "INJ - TBD" (which is injured - to be determined).
- Rey Mysterio and AJ Lee were listed as "INJ - TBD".( fucking Mysterio stays injured )
- The reason Summer Rae and The Miz were not at Monday's RAW was due to them shooting upcoming movie roles.
- The Great Khali was given the night off.
- Adam Rose and Bo Dallas have been moved to the talent roster.
- Brock Lesnar, The Road Dogg and Billy Gunn have been moved from the talent roster to "Misc."
- Stephanie McMahon was scheduled to tape a segment for the JBL and Cole show yesterday.
That's not a script. That's an Attendance Sheet. What would be the significance of "leaking" a "script" especially after the show already aired? On Pink paper?
Fellas where can I download the 01.04.1999 episode of Monday Night Raw? I have the WWE Network and they lacking the RAW episodes I want to see. You can find more episodes of Raw on Youtube (although bad quailty) than the WWE Network. What kinda shit is that??
I wanna see that full episode when Mankind beat the Rock for the title. That's a classic! Come'on, Vince!

What's wrong with that? She's not a booker/writer but she's going to help with their outfits. I'm sure there's someone in charge of that in WWE too.
No one is leaving TNA, TNA is letting them go. When you offer talent a (in their opinion) low ball offer, you want them to leave but you don't want to fire them. The regular joe equivalent of cutting someone hours until they quit.
They just signed Robbie E, Gunner, and James Storm to long term, multi year deals and just brought in Sanada from Japan.
The only thing, and I mean only, TNA has to worry about is whether Viacom signs WWE. If that happens, Spike will have to drop TNA and that will kill the company.
Absolutely. If you're going to draw the same rating with or without Sting and Hogan and AJ Styles and Sabin (no one watched for Sabin) then why pay them a premium price when you can bring in or bring back cheaper talent who haven't been overexposed on TNA or WWE tv?
I said this and waited to see how it played out and it sucked. Yeah, the Usos seemed a little pissed but on Smackdown and then Raw again, they needed to be saved by someone else when Batista and Orton started kicking their asses again.
Even with Bryan, they weren't even outnumbered (you know, "the numbers game"), just got their asses handed to them.
Then, they don't even come out to save The Shield, who had just saved them.
man... the Uso's are 2 PPVs away from becoming the Kofi Kingston of tag teams
I like The Uso's too. Only a matter of time before the Ascension makes their way to the main roster. When they do, bye bye tag titles.
Two Man tag teams are becoming obsolete with the Wyatt's, The Shield, and now Evolution gaining incredible popularity. Fuck these Wheaties, Take your vitamins, Eat your vegetables tag teams... The Usos better go add Jimmy Supa Fly to their team and get on board. Wrestling is getting "Darker" that's why people ain't feeling John Cena no more.
And that's a damn shame considering how popular they've gotten in the last year.
By SummerSlam, they'll be like the Rhodes brothers and then they go to Kofi status.
People stopped feeling Cena when he got corny. This feud with the Wyatts could have helped but they had him do that silly shit with the pictures Monday. Just challenge him to the damn cage match without the shenanigans that only Jerry Lawler finds funny.
Man this Warrior special on the Network is rough to watch. They got Sting talking about his death and everything. Gonna need grief counseling after that shit.
THE DEFINITIVE UPDATE ON VINCE RUSSO'S STATUS WITH TNA
by Dave Scherer @ 9:00 PM on 4/17/2014
Is he, or isn't he? That has been the question for a while now with Vince Russo and the TNA creative process. Is he still with the company? Here is the scoop.
Currently, the creative team is headed by John Gaburick. His three team members are David Lagana, Matt Conway and Christy Hemme (to work with the Knockouts). The process is that Gaburick sets the direction and comes up with ideas, with the help of the team. They then put it to paper and write the script.
So is Vince Russo involved? Yes, he is. He is still on the TNA payroll as a consultant and he does offer ideas and do critiques of the televised product. So when you see a segment and say, "That screams Russo", it very well may. Or, it may not. But much like everything in creative goes through Vince McMahon in WWE, that is the same for Gaburick in TNA.
So if you see a Russo idea on Impact, it's one that Gaburick received from Russo and decided to incorporate. But it could also be a Gaburick idea.
That explains the high profile return of Angelina Love and abundance of gimmick matches on tv lately.
That's not all, folks
VINCE RUSSO IS NOT THE ONLY BIG NAME STILL PART OF THE TNA CREATIVE PROCESS, WHY TNA PUT THE TITLE ON ERIC YOUNG, COMINGS AND GOINGSby Dave Scherer @ 1:04 PM on 4/18/2014
As reported yesterday, Vince Russo is still working for TNA as a consultant. He is not the only big name still under contract. Eric Bischoff is still under a TNA deal and also doing storyline consulting. From what I have been told, there are less than three months left on both men's contracts with TNA.
If you watched Impact last night you saw that the company is moving ahead by trying to do all that they can to leave TNA Champion Eric Young's goofy character from the past, in the past. They company hopes to turn around the perception that people remember from when Young was a comedy character and hope that they can repackage him as a credible champion on the eyes of the fans.
According to a few sources, part of the reason that they put the belt on Young is to get some cross-promotion with his Animal Planet show, Off The Hook: Extreme Catches, which has its season three debut on Sunday June 16. The company wants to spend the next two months getting Young over as champion to coincide with the return of his Animal Planet show.
At this point, it looks like Chris Sabin will be leaving when his contract expires soon.
Taryn Terrell is set to return soon from having her baby. She was doing some good work before she left.
The door is said to be open for a return of Christopher Daniels and Kazarian at some point down the line.
I guess if you're still paying, you need to get something out of him. Bischoff, I mean.
I hate to see Bad Influence go but really, they got the most out of Sabin. His two knee injuries kept him employed longer than he would have been if he hadn't gotten hurt.

How exactly are 2 man tag teams becoming obsolete because of The Shield, Wyatts and Evolution? For one The Wyatt Family comes out together but it's always Harper and Rowan wrestling as a tag team unlike The Fabolous Freebirds or The Jersey Triad who would switch their twosome in tag matches. The WWE keeps acting like they care about tag teams when they don't and that's the problem. The Rhodes went from being the 1rst completely over team in years to having alternating matches against Fandango in a month's time.
As for Cena as said already it's cause he's corny. Daniel Bryan is a dark character at all and is the most over guy in the company. Cesaro isn't a dark character and The Shield aren't either but they're badasses who also have excellent movesets and can also fly all over the place.
Im watching a bunch of all RAW episodes and "WWF" PPV's and man the old days were sweet. The Corporate Regime, D-generation X, The Rock and Austin in their prime. Right now Im watching the 1999 Royal Rumble on WWE Network.. Compared to how HARD and how OFTEN theses dudes use to wrestle, it makes todays wrestlers look soft as ice cream. They dont put their bodies on the line like they use too.. Frankly I dont blame them these dudes was Cold Blooded back then
Mankind used to go H.A.M ain't nothing fucking with the Attitude Era RAW episodes. There was so many wrestlers fromm back then that I forgot all about. Remember Gilbert? the fake Goldberg D'Lo Brown, Ken Shamrock, etc. The only thing I dont like about the Network is that they dont have all the RAW episodes from every year. it's all good though I found a site to watch some of them. Been watching oldschool RAW all day.
Anybody remember what year Austin started the "WHAT" Movement on RAW? that was my favorite shit.

It happened in 2001 sometime after he turned on the WWF and joined the Alliance.
Cool. After im done with with the 1999 era I'll start with that on that.
Batista Taking Some Time Off After Extreme Rules
Posted by Steve Carrier on 04/20/2014 at 11:21 PM
Batista is apparently taking some time off after WWE's Extreme Rules as he is not currently being advertised for any WWE events after that show, including RAW the next night from Albany, NY. He is also not advertised for the big European tour that kicks off in May.
It was reported back when Batista signed with WWE that he was expected to take some time off to do promotional work for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy but that movie doesn't open until August 1st.

Yeah, that was definitely in 2001 after WM17.
I remember because I was in my first year of college and me and my boys would always say "What" after damn near every sentence
i bet everybody was watching Smackdown like"OKAY WE GET IT!!!" during Heyman's promo
I gotta tell you, with anyone else I'd probably say "That went on a bit too long just to hammer home a point I got a week ago on Raw". But somehow with Heyman he makes it sound perfect.
damn coming back from honeymoon only to be hemmed up by Kane..wish JR were still part of the announce team cause he'd be selling the hell out that segment""DAMN IT KANE,FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DONT DO IT!!!" etc
the look on lawler's face when Kane piledrived Bryan on the announce table

Yeah all three of those announcers can't make up ONE of JR. That whole segment was wack and forced. Being that their next PPV is only a couple weeks away they don't have time to build a big story for Bryan being that he took a week off. Bryan just defeated THREE people in one night for the title and know he can't get two hits in on Kane?
His dad just died so they had to find a way to get him off tv.
Wow thats fucked up..
I'm not referring to why I'm just saying Kane thing is wack.
I thought he was on his honeymoon
- WWE has announced that Daniel Bryan's father passed away. The statement notes that the passing was unexpected and that Bryan "was made aware of his father's passing after returning from his honeymoon with Brie Bella." No cause of death was revealed.
Yeah the Kane thing is wack. His time as the big red machine is done.
