Forget Ace Steel, the news of the month is that TD Shepherd is debuting next week, October 28th at Valley of Nightmares. TD Shepherd cut a sick promo, this dude got crazy charisma.

Lol they’re bringing back the TNA branding. Unbelievable.

Note I'm not sure why TD Shepherd's promo is presented in 2 and a half p, I dont know if its a style choice or if Sudistic camera broke.

They should have just called it RIP Impact Wrestling.

They should just hand the company over to Rich Fortune and Sudistic to manage. Total Sudistic Wrestling. Has a ring to it.

No one calls it impact. Itll always be TNA

Alex Shelley vs Psycho
Chris Sabin vs King Violent
Tommy Dreamer vs Mike Grizzly
Just throwing some ideas out there.

Tits and Ass Wrestling has a ring to it.

They should actually rebrand to TNA but now its not total nonstop action but instead Tits and Ass Wrestling.

Let’s say Tommy Dreamer actually did hop the barricade and shoot and kill Paul Heyman live at WrestleMania 17.

This wouldn’t be an Owen situation where Vince could force the show to go on, surely the authorities would’ve shut it down because it’s an actual crime scene.

So the biggest/most successful PPV of all time never finishes and is permanently tainted by a tragedy. What, if any, long-term impact does this have on the business?

What site do you use? Cagematch?

No mouth piece for Lesnar.

Stone Cold remains face.

Wrestlingdata

This is probably the biggest one. Lesnar isn't half as interesting (and I never thought that highly of him to begin with) as when he had Heyman doing all of his talking for him. Could they have picked someone else? Sure, but the number of people Brock actually likes being around can be counted on one hand.

CM Punk probably wouldve never got called up let alone pushed. It was Heyman who wanted him for ECW. OVW wasnt high on him and likely never would have recommended him. And it was Heyman politicking for him that got him pushed before he was established.

Brock without Heyman feels almost unimaginable. With his look/talent/athleticism surely he still would've been a big deal no matter what but Heyman was a massive part of the presentation.

Probably right on Stone Cold as well. He's said repeatedly that even in the heat of the moment he was reading the room and tempted to call an audible and just stun Vince anyway. I'd assume they would've figured a way to finish the PPV on another night or something and maybe by then he'd have managed to talk Vince out of making that call.

This is a good one. I wonder if he even gets signed at all really, Heyman already had the book at OVW when he initially came in.

It's tough for me to a imagine that Punk wouldn't have eventually gotten some sort of WWE look by 2009/2010 or so when they were signing almost every notable ROH dude and he would've eventually had guys like Danielson vouching for him, but without Heyman he might've burned bridges quickly and never went anywhere.

At the very least it would have played out in a much different way at a later time

It would have shone an even bigger light on what a cesspool pro-wrestling is.

If a meteor is ever headed towards earth, we should just gather all the japanese tables and put them directly in its path. We'd be fine.

I AM THE TABLE!

Would you say that the table was working strong style there?

no-sell table.

Heath Slater is a free agent. Tony will back the truck up, but I hope Heath signs with WWE. I’d like to see him as a veteran trying to claw his way back in via NXT. Then there’s always potential for a reunion with Drew McIntyre & Jinder Mahal. Matches against 3MB, Judgment Day and the Bloodline.

1. I didn't know Jimmy had a WWF run. But watching this, I know why.
2. Some people have no business wearing a suit.
3. Did Jimmy slip into Sheiky's stash?

The finest acting ever in rassling

They released the Vlad doc I see. I’d like to watch that. Can’t find any links from the usual suspects yet. Message me if you find one please. Would appreciate it.

Someone mentioned this a while ago, wcw having the nwo theme and some random guy doing the voiceovers. Only example I've found of it, wonder did Nash botch the powerbomb at the end as there's a hard edit and giants on the mat suddenly with no replay...

Another level of suck.

I probably shouldn't be too judgmental; the guy did bang Stacy Keibler after all. I should be judging Stacy Keibler instead.

David Flair was the Orange Cassidy of WCW. He wore jeans, he wasn’t very good, but he did better than some comparatively in the ratings. Well, that’s dropped off for Orange Cassidy now people have seen the car wreck.
