He seems to mean just from TNA though.

I heard him on talksport and he seemed to suggest he was taking a years sabbatical, it is Kurt Angle though so take it for what it's worth

he's going to be commentating for Bellator MMA.

Given the supposed trouble that Lana is in, I find it real hard to believe this isn't just a bit convenient. She certainly is sounding a high maintenance girl for him.

Doubt he cares, he is punching well above his weight!

by Samo Sat 28 Nov 2015, 6:03 pm

She has to be on top right? Otherwise he would just destroy the poor lassie.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat 28 Nov 2015, 6:49 pm

Dunno what you're doing in there Samo, but I don't just drop all my weight on top and see what happens

by Samo Sat 28 Nov 2015, 7:13 pm

Really? That explains the reason Mrs Samo usually had a headache.

But when you've that much weight and muscle behind it you're gonna do some damage.

Where do you think he came up with the accolade? Cool

The inimitable Brad Maddox has chosen his new name now he has been released. It's Mad Braddox. You can tell hes taken his release well, not only using a p*sstake name but also releasing new shirts based around the word that got him fired

WWE really messed it up with Maddox imo, he had great natural charisma and was excellent with his character.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 30 Nov 2015, 9:29 pm

Indeed. He was a talent, and even if he didnt have "it" in the ring, his charisma and fantastic timing with humour were gold. He was manager, GM or, the spot I think he should have had, commentator material. He was the new heel commentator.

Court Bauer: WWE "Has Interest" in Shinsuke Nakamura

by Samo Wed 02 Dec 2015, 5:43 pm

I've just noticed that out of all the big injuries this year, 4 have been shoulder injuries. Zayn, Itami, Orton and now Cesaro have all had shoulder surgery.

Whats going on at the performance centre?

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 02 Dec 2015, 5:53 pm

How much time is Orton spending down there?

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 02 Dec 2015, 6:07 pm

Apparently Noelle and Dewey might both be on the WWE's books soon.

Dewey is possibly joining Creative in the new year. Noelle is considered a possibility as a backstage interviewer

They'd be idiots if they didn't, he's one of the most over wrestlers in the world. His body language means he doesn't have to rely on speaking English (though I think that is okay). And both as a look and wrestler he's very different to anything WWE has. He's also well over 6' so he's not look small on the roster. There's a lot of dream matches if he did go.

Of course the question is would he leave Japan. I guess only he knows the answer to that and how much money he would make. One thing we do know Daniel Bryan brought up earlier this year that he pitched to WWE a match with Nakamura. And Nakamura tweeted anytime, anywhere.

Personally I think he'll stay with New Japan. Nice time of year for these rumours so he can get a better contract in 2016. But, if he left WWE have dropped the ball already if he's not IC champ within 6 months.

Noelle doesnt surprise me, although Renee Young might be watching over her shoulder. Dewey surprised me somewhat, although it might explain why Mick has went from threatening to stop watching to being overly enthusiastic about it.

WON confirmed rumors of WWE interest in ROH Champion Jay Lethal, whose deal is up soon.

Ric Flair is also signed to WWE, in case we have forgotten. There's an Adam Davey on this website who is legitimately rock hard in his pants at this news

by Adam D Fri 04 Dec 2015, 1:48 pm

Joey Ryan was trending on twitter last night due to some new move he did with his genitals. I will let someone else google that one.

Also, Matt Hardy had his head split open by Jeff Jarrett when a guitar shot went wrong, which isnt surprising as its the first time that JJ has ever used a guitar as a weapon.

Orton said to be out "indefinitely" with some estimates thinking we might be lucky to see him before WrestleMania 33

by Samo Sat 05 Dec 2015, 3:43 pm

Depends on if he needs neck fusion surgery. Chances are if he does we might not see him again.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat 05 Dec 2015, 4:54 pm

Sad to see people so uninterested. I'm a big Orton fan nowadays, and think he could have been really strong working the slightly lighter schedule planned for him.

by Samo Sat 05 Dec 2015, 5:05 pm

Orton is one of the best they have right now, but I think many peoples problem is that he only seems to turn it up for big matches, and the rest of the time he seems to be going through the motions.

That and his character hasnt changed in about 6 years,

"Don't miss WWE LIVE when it returns to the "fabulous" Forum on December 19th for the first time in over twenty years! Three Championship titles will be on the line as Roman Reigns will battle current WWE World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus. Brock Lesnar is set to go one on one with United States Champion Alberto Del Rio and current Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens will defend his title against Dean Ambrose. PLUS, Bray Wyatt, Kane, The Dudley Boys, The Miz, Dolph Ziggler, the WWE Divas, plus many more.*"

Lesnar v Del Rio...that interests me

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri 11 Dec 2015, 12:30 pm

Daniel Bryan:

They [WWE] asked me a bunch of stuff of what I’d like to do like announce or be a trainer at NXT. I’m sure at some point in my life I would but right now it would be too soon.

by Marky Fri 11 Dec 2015, 1:11 pm

That could be the setup for Mania. Someone (League of Nations?) costs Lesnar the US Title, either that or he has a US Title run. No way does Del Rio leave with the title clean.

Also suggests Sheamus and Owens retain at TLC.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri 11 Dec 2015, 5:05 pm

They do advertise these things ahead of time without spoilers so there is a possibility of defeat for either champ, not that I think either will.

I'm not sure ADR is actually defending the title. Whilst it says three titles on the line, I've read a few things that suggest the US title might not be one of them.

What I do find interesting is that WWE are placing Lesnar back in the "face" position. I think this is something they will always do for these "specials" because he's the star attraction, but it doesn't suggest at Reigns the face vs Lesnar the heel at Mania. Lesnar wins the Rumble with Sheamus still the champ? I'd definitely be really interested to see Sheamus vs Lesnar, especially if Lesnar gets hands on with Barrett, Rusev and Del Rio beforehand.

by Samo Fri 11 Dec 2015, 5:16 pm

Lesnar vs Rusev is a match I would pay to see.

by Marky Fri 11 Dec 2015, 5:20 pm

There it is then. I'm calling it now.

Next week, Del Rio v Lesnar for US Title, ends in a DQ win for Lesnar when Rusev, Barrett and Sheamus take him down.

Lesnar wins the Rumble.

Lesnar v Sheamus w/Rusev, Barrett and Del Rio at Mania.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri 11 Dec 2015, 6:10 pm

Id love to see Lesnar against pretty much anyone fresh. They try and pop ratings with old names on Raw, the best way to pop a Raw rating would be throw Lesnar in. Throw him in for the Fast Lane PPV before Mania with a match against Rusev or Barrett. I liked the Taker feud, in fact I loved the matches, but use him against fresh people and it will be so much more exciting.

Lesnar could become my all time favourite if they put him up against the new stars of the roster. Or even just current stars, not the top guys. No harm in a Ziggler, Barrett, Big E, Rusev, Ambrose, Owens, Zayn losing to Lesnar.

TLC is tomorrow, incase anyone forgot.

by Fernando Sat 12 Dec 2015, 9:42 pm

During an interview with The Straits Times, Daniel Bryan mentioned that he is in in the process of working on a compromise with WWE regarding his in-ring future.

"Because of my history with concussions, the WWE medical doctor wouldn't clear me. We're in the process of trying to figure out some compromise." They keep sending me to do more tests, brain MRIs, brain EGs and all my tests have come back great to the point where my brain is better than someone my age with no concussion."

Yet Tommy Dreamer with his history of concussions is allowed to be in WWE?

Mauro Ranallo has joined WWE as Smackdown Lead Commentator.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 14 Dec 2015, 6:10 pm

Maybe they are serious about Smackdown.

by Samo Mon 14 Dec 2015, 7:06 pm

Rumours are Cena is going to win his 16th World title on the first SmackDown on USA to help make it a big deal.

Coca Cola are going to be sponsoring WWE, both for Tribute To The Troops and the Slammys Raw.

Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that WWE have been wanting this for decades. Coca Cola is a giant, sponsoring such massive mainstream events as the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics.

The coup for WWE is proof that bad Raw ratings aren’t impacting the perception of the wrestling brand. The company has managed to get over the idea that they are hot.

It should also be noted that NBC Universal has worked hard to change the advertising industry’s perception of WWE. In 2016 there will be five hours prime time WWE on USA Network each week. That financial stake is why NBC Universal helped get new sponsors on board, and landing Coca Cola is a sign that the effort paid off.

WWE legend Triple H has expressed his admiration for West Ham United supporters and compared them to the famously enthusiastic fans of the company he represents.

"West Ham is probably the closest to what we do - the passion of their fanbase and their loyalty," he told ITV News.

And when asked which Hammers player he thinks could make a career in WWE, there was an obvious choice:

"Maybe a player like Andy Carroll. He is tall, likes to play it tough with the opposition and has the right looks with the long hair. He could be interesting."

Thats how easy it is to get over with me, Im now a HHH mark
