First topic message reminder :

Jim Ross has been signed for GWFs first show - New Japans Wrestle Kingdom 9 on Jan 4th.

That is all

On that note they may be airing one at MSG since Brock has been booked a live event...

In other news
Layla retired & Alicia Fox got concussion.

by Prometheus Thu Jul 30, 2015 4:47 pm

She's retired to have kids, hasn't she. Much like AJ Wink

And I can't work out who made the botch Charlotte or Alicia, 6 of one?

by Fernando Thu Jul 30, 2015 4:54 pm

Who cares she hasn't wrestled in like 2 years???

Apparently it was T-Bone suplex from Becky that did it. I suspect this is cause of women that can wrestle and take bigger bumps in NXT against women that can't. Apart from Nikki Bella the other 2 look a step behind the others.

by Prometheus Fri Jul 31, 2015 11:37 am

Ah, I'd heard it was when Charlotte's leg struck her head as they did some kind of clumsy surfboard type move.

Cena's off Raw on Monday apparently.

Owens vs Balor is now a ladder match.

Uhaa Nation is now Apollo Crews. essentially Vince has told creative to name 2 famous black guys and they've gone Apollo Creed & Terry Crews (Giant guy from Brooklyn 99) Laugh

I read that and immediately pictured Steen vs Generico. Then I glued my boxers to my leg.

Paige,Becky Lynch & Charlotte are going to be renamed as a group as it turned out Submission Sorority was a porn site Laugh

Porn traffic watchers said the site got 56% extra views & 35% more members because of it Laugh

Probably better than Terry Creed.

Why didn't they just go for Uhaa, as single names seem to be in in WWE.

Roman Reigns was whacked with a MITB briefcase at a live event by a fan.

According to live reports, Reigns was temporarily knocked out and remained in the corner for a few minutes until he finally came to. Wyatt, in the meantime, stalled for time as authorities and security tended to the situation at ringside.

The police were finally called to ringside, where several fans were ejected as a result of the incident.

Reigns appears to be ok as he was able to finish the match against Wyatt.

There is something slightly ironic about WWE being attacked using their own merchandise.

Stupid, stupid thing to happen though.

by **owen10ozzy** Mon Aug 10, 2015 5:35 pm

Story would have been much better if his friend had taken off his top to reveal a refs one....and the fan cashed it in and pinned him! (yes i know Reigns isn't the champ...still would have been funny)

I didn’t leave on bad terms,” explained Mysterio. “I left on good terms with WWE, so I don’t want to say never. They treated me very well, and I’m nothing but thankful with that company for letting Rey Mysterio be Rey Mysterio and be recognized worldwide. If the opportunity comes about in the future, and there is interest from both parties, then why not?”

Thats incredible news, Stewart is brilliant. I think Coach will be there with ESPN too haha

I hope they use Coach just so The Rock could turn up and mock him again would be great Laugh

Are TNA bringing Joey Ryan back, or have both he and Kenny King signed for GFW (which could be the same thing atm)?

Ryan's certainly toned up and smartened up from his original greaseball / 70s p0rn star image.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue Aug 25, 2015 5:36 pm

I believe it was a GFW show. They had a rather good name, I'll google it in a bit

by Adam D Tue Aug 25, 2015 7:58 pm

Tease and sleaze?

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue Aug 25, 2015 8:23 pm

I think that may have been it. It sounds right up your alley (a little bit innuendo intended)

by Adam D Tue Aug 25, 2015 9:30 pm

I think it's a great name and a really good combo.

I'm really liking what I've read of gfw

does anyone know what this is in connection to?

Apparently Chael Sonnen turned heel during a promo and Phil baroni jumped the rail

by Samo Wed Aug 26, 2015 11:12 am

Dont want to sound like a broken record but Grado and Drew Galloway delivered one of the best promos of the year.

Warning: Very strong language and not safe for work. Transcript available for those who struggle with the Scots tongue.

Well, according to Bryan Alvarez we will be seeing one hell of a match for Brock Lesnar when he appears on the Network special from Madison Square Garden. I Bo-lieve it might well be match of the year. Thats right, folks! He may have bo-roke the streak, but can Brock Lesnar bo-reak the will of the man Bo-moted to the main roster a year younger than Brock made his TV debut?

What writing this down has made me realise is I want a Reigns vs Dallas feud where Dallas continually interrupts Roman as he is about to say "And you can believe that."

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu Aug 27, 2015 3:57 am

The source is Wrestling Observer's Raw review in the mailbag questions:
Bryan reading a question: "Any truth that you know of to the rumour that John Cena had plans for Charlotte to win the Divas Title from Nikki Bella upon her promotion to the main roster squashed?"
Dave's answer: "Uhm...nnooo...but not...it's, it's a real complicated question but as far as I know the answer is, is no to that. But...does the relationship between Nikki Bella and John Cena, is that part of the reason why she's champion as long as she has been?"
Bryan: "Of course"
Dave: "Of course, yes, yes...But did he go in there and say...you know, they have a plan for Charlotte to win the title and John Cena says no, she's not dropping the title and because it's John Cena they, you know, did that happen? I don't believe that happened. I've asked around and nobody knows anything about that. That doesn't mean it didn't happen but I'm tempted to say that, uhm, but, but, has that happened in the past, has John Cena at one point when she was gonna lose or something, has he said anything at some point? I believe he has, yes. But I don't know that it's, it's been in the last couple of weeks."

So what your saying is we're getting Brock vs Bolo Zendan at MSG?

TNA has been advised by the Gulfport, Florida Police Department that Thomas Latimer, known as Bram, has been arrested and charged with two felony counts of domestic battery and false imprisonment. TNA is working to gather facts and obtain additional information related to the arrest.

“The charges against Thomas Latimer are serious, and he is immediately and indefinitely suspended from any future TNA-sanctioned events awaiting the outcome of the case,” said TNA Executive Vice President of Television and Talent John Gaburick.

The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office booked Bram on two felony charges; one for domestic battery by strangulation, and another for false imprisonment. Pinellas County says Latimer is still awaiting trial.

Unless Brock vs Bolo is going to be a footballing challenge, poor old Zenden is going to be toast! Shocked

Need some more in NXT with Sasha, Charlotte and presumably Becky Lynch moving up full time. Dana Brooke and Eva Marie just arent cutting the mustard. Carmella is getting better but still has a ways to go.

Zahra Schreiber (Rollins girlfriend of nude photo leak fame) has been released by WWE after old social media posts were found that were highly offensive at best and severely racist at worst.

According to an email received by Bryan Alvarez on Thursday night, a long-time WWE employee believes that Bayley is “so ungodly over, especially with little girls,” that if she were to start granting wishes through Make-A-Wish, “she will destroy John Cena.”

Bayley’s T-Shirt is also the highest selling diva merchandise at the moment beating out all of The Bella Twins merchandise.

Sadly, after all this excitement, it appears they have instead gone with Lesnar vs Big Show.

Lesnar suplexing Big Show around for a bit won't be so bad. With Jericho v Owens too there's two matches I'd watch.

I just kinda feel like i've seen it enough now, really. Unless Big Show talking about someone retiring him is actually for this reason.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed Sep 02, 2015 10:46 pm

Just from reading other things:

Regal might be set to have a retirement match at NXT Takeover:London. Breeze and Owens would be up there as top two candidates, i'd imagine.

Biff Busick and Rich Swann are said to be signed for WWE and starting work in October at the Performance Center.

Johnny Gargano, Drew Gulak and Chuck Taylor are about to sign deals.

Ever so slight *possible* NXT spoilers:

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu Sep 03, 2015 8:31 am

Having seen who Crowe tagged with last night I can guess the spoilered part of the above post is possibly unlikely.
