First topic message reminder :

I totally understand that the majority of you may dislike or have never seen any form of Independent Wrestling so turn a blind eye to it but I truly believe this is such a powerful promo hyping something that we all share here...

This is Mike Quackenbush, founder of Chikara Pro and I quite frankly consider him to be one of the best storytellers in the business. Enjoy.

Or maybe Mick/Daniel are on the way out?

Micks to get surgery and Brie is due around April, maybe hes being written out

[NickisBHAFC]

Rusev probably won't be doing much at Mania, have him come out and cut a promo about America. Boom, Angle comes out. Sets up a nice feud as well.

Del Rio arrested in austria with brother for fighting at a club. broke out of zipties so ankle cuffed him then proceeded to knock his brother out at the police station.

He may be dull as fk in wwe but he is hilarious outside it getting "stabbed" beating up a turtle etc

All while proposing to his fiancée and knocking her up

The next season of Total Divas should be interesting

Chris Hero back in NXT (as Ohno)

Rick Rude gonna get that HoF place

WWE wants the Hardys back

Omega taking steps away from Japan

WWE creative apparently watched his match and now wants to end Mania with a great match (my favourite thing I've heard because that's hilarious that it's an idea)

I love how the inference there is that that's not usually the aim

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Isn't it just great?!

[NickisBHAFC]

Delighted that Hero is back in WWE (well deserved) but why can't they keep the name Chris Hero?

[Fernando]

Shane Thorne of TM-61 has a knee injury and will be out for several months so revival need a new feud or to move up.

[Kay Fabe]

Big Shows still cutting weight and toning up, looks in incredible shape

[Ché Guerrero]

Id imagine its a serious benefit to his health (and potential lifespan) to cut the weight down

WM Plans for AJ :

To cheer you up if read it here's Finn Balor playing Musical Chairs yesterday

You have to imagine it can only benefit him can't you? looks tremendous, I'm happy for him, he's took a lot of X-Pac heat in recent years, shows the character of the man that he's used it as motivation at his stage in his career.

Apparently Smackdown head writer Ryan Ward (Previously NXT writer) has been replaced by Road Dogg.

I hope he's moving to Raw or someone has seriously f**ked up

[Samo]

'SmackDown is generally better received than RAW, should we maybe think about doing what SmackDown is doing right on RAW?'

'Nah Frak that just make SmackDown Poopie again'

Hope this isnt true, SmackDown has been killing it since the split.

Isnt Shane meant to be having an input into Creative?

[Kay Fabe]

I don't quite get all the love for SmackDown to be honest, the main event scene has been boring as hell since the split, AJ has kept their head above water and it looks like they've just been treading that water until Cena came back.

I like what they've done with The Miz and the Usos, they've been alright but I'm listening to this high praise it seems to receive weekly and I don't see a direct correlation with what they put out on TV

Ambrose went there the hottest he's ever been and within 6 months he's been relegated to the IC Title and rightly so, he's been a hard watch at times but if you give the top face no-one to feud with them don't be surprised when his star falls.

I have no idea what kind of kind Road Dogg has for the business but his family is steeped in Wrestling so I wouldn't be in a rush to rubbish it just yet.

[Samo]

The best analogy for SmackDown i have heard is its like a good curry, loads of little different things but all done really well and all come together in harmony to make a good show, whereas RAW feels like the same stew you've been cooking for months and just top it up with a bit of stock and a few cubes of beef every now and then, to the point you cant tell if what you're getting is from last week or two months ago

[Kay Fabe]

I don't know about that one, if anything that makes SmackDown! sound far better than what it's been, I'd say it's more like Nando's, when it's done well it's top notch but too often it concentrates more on the support acts rather than it's main event chicken but as its cool to like the place often escapes criticism

[Ché Guerrero]

Stu Bennett (Wade Barrett) is going to appear at a WCPW event

[Dr Gregory House MD]

PCW are promoting a Kris Travis tribute show and intend to keep 100% of the profits

Pretty scummy move if you ask me

[Samo]

The newest inductee to the Hall of Fame has been announced.

HOLLA HOLLA HOLLA NOW HOLD ON A MINUTE PLAYA!

That's not the real news of today: 

Rosa Mendes announces her retirement from WWE


ONE OF THE GREAT RING GENERALS;SHE WILL BE MISSED BY ALL

Is it too soon to add Eva Marie to that list?

MITB will be a SD PPV this year. So assumably Raw get a ladder match at WM? Be odd for them not to have one.

I can see the US title getting the ladder match and Corbin and Ambrose having a one-on-one for the IC title. Can see Sami winning it from Y2J soon.

Rumour is Emmalina has been dropped already because she didnt impress during dress rehearsals, so Emma will just go back to being Emma. They are still keen on the 'supermodel' character and Kelly Kelly has been touted as a possible replacement, with her backstage appearance at RAW and being booked for WrestleMania Axxess adding fuel to the fire.

Read part of the problem was that they were restricted in the PG era of where they could go with it too but stinks of how they used to do things, we have a great idea let's lump it on someone rather than finding the right person

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Other reports have said it was a running joke, I think a lot of doubts have been cast on the sentiments above (as far as ive read)

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Reports that Hardys likely to leave TNA and go to WWE.

Drew Galloway leaves TNA

Shaq says his match with Big Show unlikely to happen

[RinoGattuso]

Beth Pheonix latest HoF inductee.

Matt tweeted earlier confirming his departure. Jeff will surely follow now. Apparently Galloway vs Jack Jester at ICW's Barramania III is a loser leaves town match. You think all three are WWE bound? Galloway would fit into NXT well right now, and he lives in Florida so would suit, and the 'Broken Hardys' would give a massive boost to either tag team division.

[Ché Guerrero]

Jeff was a main event talent when he left. Interested to see how the reintegrate them

[GSC]

Probably not far removed from the Dudleys I guess. Can't see WWE ever needing to risk putting Jeff in a spot where they rely on him again.

[Samo]

Maria and Mike Bennet have left aswell, turbulent times for Impact Wrestling

[Kay Fabe]

that was almost 8 years ago, everyone has moved on from then, I think Jeff Hardy will probably know his biggest asset to WWE is the fact he's a Hardy Boy

He was probably my favourite face at the time and he was insanely over. In a WWE ring i would still see him as a top level singles competitor. He was for a decent chunk of his TNA stint as well despite the problems

[Ché Guerrero]

I dont recall either of the Dudleys beating HHH clean in a singles match on PPV

[GSC]

I mean treating the Hardys much like the Dudleys were on their comeback

[Dolphin Ziggler]

No chance. Jeff was on a different plain, and you then add in the nostalgia factor?

He could main Event again, although id see him as a Smackdown champ. Sounds to me like they want to work together so teaming seems likely, just whether WWE ackno ledge the success of a TNA gimmick

[Dr Gregory House MD]

Just my opinion but I think ROH for a year or two would be a better move for the Hardy's than WWE, there's money in the Broken gimmick that WWE will not allow them to exploit

ROH are crying out for stars right now and would probably pay top dollar, it gives them a stable base to work from while they go out and milk the gimmick dry

[Dolphin Ziggler]

I think that's a very likely option, House.

Matt wants to travel with his family, they want some creative control and they are known to not be huge fans of the schedule.

BUT if they want WWE before they're done then this may be their best time and the best money guarantee.

[Fernando]

Could Jeff even work a full time schedule without relapsing though?
