I read it too, all I can say is...

im going to assume HHH and Kane are going to have them do a "run the gauntlet" match now since they seem to have turned face :rolleyes:


If we should have learned one thing from the past year, it is that the Authority is going to end the show standing over someone. DB is out of the hot chair
for now, but they have to stand tall over someone. They can't help themselves.

​

at what point did they change direction though ? I heard talk of them breaking them up and now it looks like we're going to have a Shield vs. Kane & NAO/or RyeAxel match

They make it up as they go. They shouldn't but they do.
I'm glad they're not breaking them up but it doesn't look like they have any kind of real plan for them at this point. A feud with Kane is boring.
And what happened to the Outlaws vs the Usos feud? What happened to their rematch?
 
The person who should be the most pissed is AJ Lee. Her whole push has come to a complete halt. She's the Divas champ but she's losing left and right to everybody and if they do put her with Tamina, it's rushed and she will almost certainly lose again.
That's fucked up punishing her for what her dude did.

wont be long now before stephanie announces that AJ putting the belt up at Mania in a Fatal 4 way against Naomi,Brie Bella and Tamina
 
Anybody else try the WWE Network yet? They're having a free trial week until Saturday

I just tried it and I gotta say, the cupboard is empty like a muthafucka. I was hoping to watch a gang of old Raws and PPVs, but they don't have shit on there.

You won't see new Raw/Smackdown on there due to their television deals. They will be available a month after their original air date long after anyone cares. As far as PPVs there hasn't been any that I can think of that I haven't been able to find. I know the Xbox app is all kinds of fucked up but an update is supposed to be coming. I can only guess Nitro will show up eventually. I like the service so far and I didn't expect to. There is already more content than I will ever watch.
 
I was disappointed in the relative lack of old Raw episodes since I wasn't watching WWF during the Attitude Era as well as the lack of Nitro and ECW episodes as well. The availability of PPVs is great though. You can even see Booker T call Hulk Hogan a nigga on there. I'm wondering that they're going to use the carrot of Nitro to increase the price which is inevitable.
 
The PPVs and WrestleMania rewind in edition to NXT and backlog of past ECW, WCW and WWE/F PPVs alone make WWE Network worthwhile. I love it.

in the Smackdown Spoilers Kane granted Rybaxel and The Real Americans a WWE Tag Team title shot. I'm pretty sure Kane/NAO vs. The Shield at WM

:yes::yes::yes: Brie Bella for the win
 
Man I thought that shit too. That's why I did it. To live back in that Monday Night Wars era......its some GREAT shit on there though. I watched the WCW PPV where Hulk turned heel and NWO was born.

I mean i'd atleast try the free trial out if I were you. You might like it but yea if you expecting old Raw's and or Nitro's.....I didn't see it.

NXT is a dope program. It was decent on SyFy or wherever it was at but its gotten so much better. Shit for me is better than TNA.

Shit, I was trying to do the trial but they've already charged the 9.99 to my account

And yeah, the shit is kinky on 360. I can see why they wanted people to make a 6-month subscription because it's going to take at least 6 months to get this shit humming for real.

saddest thing is its almost like they aren't even letting her do her heel shit... they got her looking very weak - with Naomi back she should be having good matches but from what I saw on Raw, WWE ain't going to let it happen.

I plan on getting it just for WM. I'll throw about $30 on the prepaid card and wait till all funds are exhausted.

I went ahead and signed up for the 6 months.
I haven't watched as much as I would like, but what I've seen is good so far.
I like the post-RAW shows and other original programs.
I have not seen any heavy editing on the old shows as well.
They say and show the old WWF logo as well.
 
Can anyone see it now? The Super Dome Exploding with YES chants and Bryan holding up the straps? It's gonna be Epictastic!

After last weeks RAW its very apparent that Steph and Triple H is setting that up. iT's clear as water.

:yes:

I guess I don't mind that, though a singles match with AJ and Naomi or Tamina would be much better but they have to cram the Bellas down our throats.

:boring:
I'm glad they're not doing the Shield split but gotdamn. As soon as they do even a half face turn and they end up in some boring shit (same thing happened to Big E).
Rybaxel sucks. Sometimes you can take two guys, put them together and make a great team (Beer Money) but this isn't one and I'm happy they've slowed down the break up of TRA but since they didn't finish the feud with the Usos and the NAO, this seems thrown together. They were in a thing with Big E, so now neither of them wants the IC title now?
They can't blame this scrambling on Punk leaving.

Okay TNA, WTF?

TNA KNOCKOUT DONE WITH TNA
by Mike Johnson @ 1:33 AM on 3/21/2014

Lei'd Tapa, the niece of the Barbarian, finished up with TNA as of this past weekend's TV tapings. Her final TV appearance was tonight on Impact Wrestling, losing to Gail Kim.
Tapa posted the following on her Twitter: "When One Door Closes another door opens! Thanks @ImpactWrestling for the opportunity to share with the world my passion for what I enjoy doing! To all of my fans I love you all & thank you for your Loyal support from day 1!! Forever grateful and blessed!! Looking forward to the future & great things to come!! Keep supporting Queen Of Rings we bout to takeover!! To the top we go!!! #BowDown"


They brought in Brittney(a nice wrestler) and brought back Angelina (:boring: wrestler but a good angle so far) but you let Tapa go? She's getting over and she's improving quickly and you let her go to bring in some Barbie bitches? Dammit. Take the KO booking away from everyone and beg Scott D'Amore to come back just to book the ladies, including hiring power. That guy could book women.


BRET HART DISCUSSES HOW WRESTLEMANIA SHOULD END, PUNK'S WALKOUT AND MORE
by Mike Johnson @ 12:51 PM on 3/21/2014

WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart was interviewed by The Boston Herald today to discuss Wreslemania 30. Hart noted that his first great Wrestlemania moment was his first great Wrestlemania moment and at that point his career high. Hart commented, "It was a different kind of match than Roddy had ever had, and it was a different kind of match for me at that point, too. Having good guy versus good guy, old pro vs. young pro, it worked really well. That buildup and match was a big turning point for me, and wet my lips to do better."
During the interview, the CM Punk walkout was brought up. Hart, commenting on it publicly for the first time, noted, "When you look at it closely, Punk's burned out. He's always given 100 percent in all his matches, and delivered some of the best pay-per-view matches in the past 10 years. And it's not easy when there are legends who only work part-time, and guys like Punk and Bryan do all the work, and watch someone like Brock Lesnar walk in and take those big matches and big paydays without having to be on the road all the time. I think that had a lot to do with his decision, and rightfully so. One of Vince McMahon's favorite sayings is, 'Life's not fair.' I don't see Punk being a factor at WrestleMania, but he still has a lot of greatness left in him. As a fan, I hope he comes back, and as a wrestler, I have a lot of respect for him, too."

Hart also discussing losing the belt to Yokozuna at Wrestlemania IX, noting, "I was really looking forward to working with Yoko at WrestleMania IX. When I won the belt in October of '92, it wasn't like I had the stack of guys that Hogan had to work with when the talent roster was so deep. When I was champion, the roster had thinned out because of drug testing and a lot of the big names were gone. Jake Roberts was gone, and that was somebody I was supposed to wrestle but never happened. I was supposed to wrestle the (Ultimate) Warrior at The Royal Rumble, and that never happened either. Then [Hulk] Hogan came back, I was told by Vince that Hogan had nothing to do with what I was doing. You can imagine how shocked I was when Hogan ended up with the belt at WrestleMania IX. I had every intention of going over in that match with Yoko, so I had no idea that my title reign was going to be so abruptly ended. I was caught off-guard by that, to be honest. I was told when I won the belt that I was going to be champion for a long time, but at the same time, Vince is always very clear when you win the belt and tells you, 'Anything can happen.' I felt I didn't have my chance to prove I was good as I thought I was."

Hart commented that he felt Wrestlemania 30 should end with Daniel Bryan getting the WWE World Heavyweight championship, but noted, "It wouldn't surprise me — like Charlie Brown with the football — if they pull it away from him one last time."

Interesting enough on it's own but the bolded part reminded me of something Michael Hayes said to Dusty Rhodes on one of those Legends Roundtables WWE does.
He said he and the Freebirds would get the territories hot, say Mid South or Georgia, and then Dusty and Andre would come in and get the big checks for the big houses they drew for supershows.
Strange how so much has changed and so much has stayed the exact same.
 
^ :smh: Tapa leaving TNA..

speaking of which,re:James Storm beating up Gunnar's dad on Impact..wonder how come they dont do the "beating up on family members" angle with any of the females(Knockouts or Divas)..? would love to see this happen in WWE where,say,Tamina or someone else sees her opponent's mother/aunt/sister whatever sitting in the front row,goes down to them and talks shit,then proceeds to backhand her into the crowd(cue announcer with"OH COME ON!!! Now THAT was uncalled for!!,etc) :roflmao2: then when they come back from commercial and they show the family member(along with whichever Diva) being helped out of the audience the annoucers are talking in their 'serious' voices like"Fans,we just witnessed the DESPICABLE actions of (Diva name)" :lol:
 
This has been a shitty episode of Raw. You would think they would have made it big, being their first time in Brooklyn.
 
wow, Bobby Lashley's back in TNA....







anyone know if Shelton Benjamin is still in Japan? Is Sting really in talks with WWE?

Man, I would love for a company to do something that hard with their women.
I'm liking Storm the heel but I think his best use is as a face. His new heel beard is kinda cool.

I didn't see it but apparently Batista busted a hole in the ass of his skinny jeans when he speared Orton :roflmao2:

:lol:and they were even his skinny jeans. I guess not enough spandex in his jeans last night.


:lol::lol:

wow, Bobby Lashley's back in TNA....

Someone asked a couple pages back if TNA could be surprising and I said "no" but the surprise appearance of Lashley was a shock and wasn't spoiled by anyone beforehand.

Hadn't heard about Shelton but Sting is definitely in talks. Not sure how much wrestling he's going to be doing but he's definitely going to be making some appearances this year.
His HoF induction is probably a lock for next year.

Sting Reportedly Wrestling Just One Singles Match
Posted by Steve Carrier on 03/27/2014 at 08:50 AM

There is now a working idea within WWE that Sting will wrestle one match and then retire, which everyone presumes will be against The Undertaker at WrestleMania 31 in California.

There's still no confirmation that WWE will make this known at WrestleMania XXX or on RAW the next night. The only thing that's said to be certain right now is that Sting will do one last match.
 
I can't vouch for shit else that might happen on Impact! tonight but Gunner and James Storm, based on their match at Lockdown, are going to beat the shit out of each other.

Sting wants to wrestle Taker but I wouldn't do it at Mania. Too much risk of a bad match. But with the Network, that would be a great way to drive some subscriptions and have it main event at MSG on a ppv worthy card.
 
How mad is WWE with CM Punk?

They didn't even include him in the HHH Burial Hall of Fame video.


Has anyone seen/heard Steiner's response. It's not like him to let any slight go unanswered, especially one from a guy like HHH.

I thought them dudes would be honored to even be spoke of on RAW......or maybe not. :lol:

But man the more this Punk shit goes....I think this shit is a work. I just have a feeling Punk's showing up on Wrestlemania.........

I'm sure Booker, Mick, and RVD were cool and Kurt and Jeff probably didn't give a shit but Steiner's crazy and he hates HHH.

I never thought it was a work but at this point, I don't even see how someone could.
Dude was on Talking Dead and they called him "Phil" most of the show.
It would be great if he came back for Mania but it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't.
It's like AJ Styles-TNA: they could take a real life situation and turn it into a work.

btw
HHH told Batista "Welcome to the Reality Era" last week, what the fuck is he talking about? TNA's been doing that reality based booking for a while now while they ignore the biggest story in wrestling-Punk's walkout.
What the hell is so "realistic" about them right now?

I just have a strong feeling........I don't think it always started off as a work. But I think they're doing what they can to get him back by Wrestlemania.

Because I have to ask myself......if Bryan wins or loses at Wrestlemania...where do you go? The most logical step IMO is to have Bryan and Punk go into a feud with Punk being a heel.

And I do think in the past few years....since that Punk pipe bomb it does seem that WWE is the most "realistic" its been in awhile if ever. In comparison to the TNA angle....I can't say because I don't watch TNA enough.

I understood the "Reality Era" line to just be a play on the phrase "Attitude Era" as in "The reality is that I'm in charge blah blah derp blah!". I don't think its in reference any actual change in ideology.
