Don't understand why TNA wouldn't want to pick her up.

Uh because she's an unstable bitch who botches a lot. As for the Jericho deal falling through i don't blame him one bit, the wwe never wants to promote a wrestlers outside ventures but when they become successful they want credits:smh: I remember Maria saying they didn't want to help her with her music cd so she had to put up her own money, yet when it was finished they wanted to have credits on the album and a percentage of the profits. When Rock stopped using his wrestling name in movies it pissed Vince off since they could no longer get royalties, Jericho is being smart and he's the perfect example of how to position yourself for life after wrestling.

Don't get your hopes up. Linda is running for senate now so those days of being more edgy are gone until she loses, according to Punk we've been in the "Reality Era" since his promo from last year so it's a year later and we already need a S.O.T.U address:lol:

God bless 84-91 & 97-01 plus an honorable mention to 02-04:yes:

From one of the tweets I read it said the dude tried to take his belt. :dunno:

EDIT: from wrestlezone: the fan pushed at CM Punk in the back of the head. It was after this that CM Punk hit him with a spinning back fist and continued to go after him.

There have been some questions as to whether CM Punk went after the wrong fan, but many of the videos surfacing online don't show any action taken by the gentlemen other than putting his glasses on before CM Punk swung at him. Dan confirms the man who got hit by CM Punk was the man who pushed CM Punk from behind.

I think that shit was real. I think it was just one of those instances where dude wanted it to be one way, but it was the other way.

They probably would've/should've had a designated area for him to go into the crowd where security would be and people would be informed not to over-step their boundaries and shit, but Punk was like "nah, I don't need all that"

MAJOR WWE CREATIVE SHAKE-UP
by Mike Johnson @ 7:07 PM on 10/8/2012

In what I am told was a "scary scene" backstage at Raw about an hour ago, Vince McMahon pretty much told the WWE Creative team that he wanted to see things change and that no one's job was safe if they didn't.
Perhaps to illustrate his point, Bryan Gewirtz, who has been the top writer for the company for a long time and especially oversaw the Raw side of things (Dave Kapoor wrote the show but everything went through Gewirtz, then Stephanie and Vince McMahon), has been dropped from the creative team and was sent home from Raw.

Gewirtz' official position was Senior Vice President of Creative Writing. Technically, he is still with the company as of this writing. Gewirtz being sent home was described as shocking to me and something that no one saw coming. One person told me they believed that he "fell on the sword" to show everyone else they can be replaced.

McMahon's declaration to the creative team comes just a week after the lowest rated Raw (non holiday, non taped) in 15 years last week. Since expanding to three hours, the flagship WWE series' ratings have slipped considerably, especially in the third hour.

As we noted in the Elite section of PWInsider.com last Monday, McMahon was visibly angry prior to Raw going on the air last week, although his mood lightened as the evening went on. The belief is that the pressure of getting ratings back up to where he and NBC Universal want them has been stressing.

Gewirtz has been working for WWE for over a decade.



THE COMPLETE BREAKDOWN OF WHERE THINGS STAND WITH WWE CREATIVE, GEWIRTZ UPDATEby Mike Johnson @ 7:47 PM on 10/8/2012

The official word on Bryan Gewirtz's position with the company is that he will remain a "consultant" for the company. One source believed that contractually, they cannot let him go without paying him a penalty so he will remain in a position where he provides feedback to the company on their product.
Replacing Gewirtz will be Eric Pankowski, who was hired by the company in February as Senior Vice President, Creative and Development. Pankowski was a senior executive at Reveille and Warner Bros and has been working directly with Stephanie McMahon in recent months.

In another move that had talent talking, Ed Koskey is going to be taken off the road and will be working more out of WWE Headquarters. That had quite a few pieces of talent we've heard from in the last hour upset as Koskey was well liked and considered someone they could relate to and deal with while pushing their own ideas. Koskey being taken off the road was described to me as "collateral damage" from Gewirtz being removed as the two worked closely together.
 
If they booked the other faces as strong as they booked VKM, they wouldn't need Cena to work every show.
That should have been "wrestler beats up old man until another wrestler saves him".

I was thinking the PrimeTime Playas were a shoo-in to win the tag titles but it looks like the Rhodes Scholars are the new hot heel team. They win on Raw, while Titus and Darren win on SD. Oh well.

Damn Dolph. Another pinfall loss. They're not doing shit with ADR, let him take the fall and protect Ziggler.

BIG CHANGE TO ROH CREATIVE
by Mike Johnson @ 11:50 AM on 10/8/2012

Hunter "Delirious" Johnston has taken over as the head of Ring of Honor's creative direction effective immediately. The ROH locker room was informed on Saturday at the promotion's Rahway, NJ debut.
Jim Cornette and ROH came to a mutual decision on the change I am told. Cornette will remain with the company in a backstage role and will assist Johnson as well as working on production and logistics.

Cornette will be written out of ROH storylines with an angle where he was attacked backstage by an irate Jay Lethal in the fallout of the no contest with Kevin Steen in Rahway.

ROH will be running stories on their website to explain the changes with Cornette's exit from his authority figure role

So Koskey gets fired because of Brian's ineptitude:smh: It seems like the wrestlers didn't care for Gerwitz anyway and firing Ed was an unnecessary move. Vince needs to also look in the mirror because he's just as much to blame as anyone, the man wanted to run an incest angle with his own daughter.......that's all that needs to be said:puke:

Maybe not the smartest move…he could have Touted if he was a big WWE fan...

- The fan that caused the entire incident that led to CM Punk striking another fan last night is now bragging about it on Twitter. Dario Teyes posted the following on Twitter about last night's incident…

"bro I'm the one that was fucking with him lmao them he rocked an innocent fan. that guy is about to be a millionaire!!! I punched [Punk's] kidney and slapped his back hella hard. bro [Punk] straight pounced on a poor day white guy. I hit him ran away then ran back and stood next to him cause I saw the camera."

Read about this yesterday and I'm happy about it. I like Cornette but they have gone downhill since he took over.

I agree with you that Vince is as much to blame as anyone. He can say and blame who he wants but when it comes to Raw everything goes through him and if he doesn't like it they have to rewrite it.

As for Koskey the story says that he hasn't been fired. He has been reassigned so that he won't be on the road like he has been previously.

I wouldn't say downhill but they have to figure out how to bridge what they used to be to what they are and need to be to continue growing. A younger guy, more in touch which old ROH, shoiuld be booker (which Delirious is) with an old school guy like Cornette as a consultant.

She's aged pretty well. I'd say she's cuter now than she was when she wrestled.


Just finished watching Barrett and Sheamus and I'd like to see them again. That was smashmouth, old school Georgia Championship style wrestling.

JBL should stop saying Vince beat Ted Turner because it's not true. When Ted paid even a little atttention to wrestling, he almost put Vince out of business. Vince beat AOL-Time Warner, not Ted Turner.

She didn't engage in the lifestyle that other "Diva's" did. No staying out late partying of any kind. Did she get married yet? I read an interview where she said she was a virgin and wasn't giving up the ass until she was married.

I was thinking about this as I watched that match. I think it would be a good idea to have a one-night tournament with just the Euro guys next time they tour overseas. The winner gets the Euro belt. They finally have enough cats from over there to do it:

Sheamus
Drew McIntire
Santino
Caesaro
Finlay
William Regal
Wade Barrett
Vladimir Kozlov (one night)

No jokes, just a one night smash-mouth torunament with the winner co-main eventing the European tour with title defenses. It could be used to put over someone like Barrett or Caesaro.

Good idea. Or they could do a round robin thing if they're hitting multiple Euro nations.
They finally have a lot of Euro wrestlers but don't have a European title.

It's opposite..when they HAD the Euro title they had no Europeans. :lol:

Usually they do hit multiple nations. What if the whoever was holding the belt at the END of the tour got a shot a CM Punk (maybe on RAW)?

Put those matches on a DVD and I think it would do well, especially overseas.

Velvet Sky Returning to TNA
Posted by Jeffrey Harris on 10.10.2012

- Velvet Sky is currently negotiating with TNA Wrestling officials for a return to the promotion. Wrestling Observer says she may have agreed to a new contract or both sides are close to reaching an agreement. Many people in the company are expecting her to return.

If Velvet's coming back she might pop up at BFG Sunday but it might be better to hold her off until the live Impact next Thursday to challenge new champ (I hope) Tara.

That would cool and make the Euro house shows unique and meaningful, similar to how the BFG Series helped make the TNA house shows meaningful.

I'm sure most of us see Bully turning on Sting and I wouldn't have a problem with it but having Sting turn, the night they induct him into their HoF, would be great. It could have been an elaborate ruse (with Jeff Jarrett dammit) to get back at Hogan for all the times Hogan has fucked him in the past.
Either way, as long as it's not another Hogan/Bischoff turn, I'm good.

She should come back as a heel who is jealous of Tessmacher...even make her part of Aces and Eights.

Yeah. I actually like that idea. They kicked around having a WWE Euro division (run by Shane) years ago and they could easily use the title defenses at house shows as try outs for Euro talent.

You're not the first person that hinted towards a Sting turn.
