Ryback in NJPW is best for his career I believe but I wouldn't be opposed to a TNA run.
I bet Darren Young eventually falls for Bob Backlund and that's the first gay storyline . NXT Brooklyn card is stacked, should be a stellar show. Aron Rex had a interesting debut on Impact, I'm curious to see where it goes. |

I've been kind of suspicious of Cody Rhodes joining Matt Taven in ROH in a new Kingdom stable and that news only adds to the suspicion.

The "you're not in the business so you can't comment" thing wrestlers always spew out is hilarious. It's like saying you're not allowed to dislike a movie because you're not a director, or you're not allowed to dislike a band because you're not a guitar player.

I couldn't care less what he says about 50/50 booking, it is boring to watch and doesn't create any stars. He should be "feeling" that, even if he doesn't count wins and losses. Noone is saying guys can't lose, but there should be a certain hierarchy on both brands. One example I would give is ironically involving HHH himself. If I watched Smackdown and the WWE Champion, Dean Ambrose, got pinned by anyone on that roster, I wouldn't even flinch. Take, however, when HHH lost to Shelton Benjamin, or when The Rock lost to The Hurricane. Those were massive memorable moments. Big stars, who hardly ever lost on TV, losing in big upsets. Those moments live on in my memory because they were so shocking and exciting. There are no big stars nowadays, everyone loses on TV all the time, and while The Game would surely argue that the talent needs to "step up", many are just as talented performers as he was, but they have no direction and have certainly not been gifted the momentum that he was. I wasn't even going to comment, but just couldn't resist after "how's your territory doing?", when the position he is in was gifted to him and it's quite obvious that Wrestlemania and the WWE as a whole thrives off its legacy and tradition, rather than the stars, or lack thereof, that they have now. I don't usually get annoyed about things like that, or leave myself open to the usual "you don't know better than Vince!!1!!" response, but actually felt anger reading that from him. I certainly don't know better, but that doesn't mean that he knows what he is doing either, despite being the performer he was. |

Though, that's probably because I read the news about LGBT storyline and then listened to Nia's theme before going to bed and my brain just put them together and made it into a dream. Also, a few days ago I saw her T-Shirt for men on WWEShop.com, so that could have possibly contributed to the dream. But that's not really the sensitive approach the LGBT community would like, so I really doubt that would happen. |

And I'm sure that whatever WWE does do, it will no doubt be the sensitive approach.

I kind of feel like Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa should lose and end up on the SmackDown roster before long. They would be great working with American Alpha. I know that it might be seem more intuitive to put them on RAW with the cruiserweights, but there's already a stacked scene there and I imagine that there will be a few new faces over there to job to the Red Arrow.

So we're looking at Goto vs. Elgin, Naito or Shibata. I can see Shibata winning his first match so that the idea of Goto/Shibata is teased, but then either Naito or Elgin takes it away from him. I can imagine Shibata winning with Naito taking it away from him and going on to face Goto.

Hell I'd trade the whole Smackdown tag division for NXTs.
Vaudevillians for The Revival Ascension for Authors of Pain Hype Bros for Ciampa and Gargano Would keep Breezeango, American Alpha, and The Usos. Really never watched NXT Tag Team wrestling but since they have moved all the dumb teams up to the main roster the NXT Tag division is looking pretty good. |

Vaudevillians and Ascension are NXT gimmicks that never got expanded on once they got called up. They didn't tweak it enough or add anything to it that would make them stand out to a larger audience. Some gimmicks can transfer with out any tweaks but those two aren't that type of gimmick.

Not really the Ascension's fault though since the bulk of their time there was just random squash matches or feuds that went no where. |

I'm fine with The Authors of Pain staying down in NXT for a while. Truth be told, moving the belts onto Gargano & Ciampa and then having The Revival crash SmackDown would make total sense. Gargano & Ciampa can then drop the belts to The Authors who eventually drop them to TM61. Or they beat TM61 and become the new Ascension in NXT while TM61 jump to the main roster -- maybe RAW -- and beat the piss out of Enzo & Cass. |

Love Breezango, but I hate their name and entrance. They need to strike that right note of "proper tag team" and they could be very valuable additions. They need to look at John Morrison & The Miz as inspiration. Let them achieve more.

I actually see Samoa Joe, Bayley and The Revival all helping to make SmackDown pretty sweet over the next few months.

Actually went the the Music City Bowl last year when Louisville played and beat Texas A&M. Expect them to be better this year so I don't think I'll be going back.

I was thinking the same thing about Rollins. Honestly, the first 2 times I guess you can say unlucky, but this is the third time. I know it may kill everyone to admit, but Bret Hart is right and WAS right the whole fucking time.
Bret's hyperbole about how "he never hurt anyone" is a crock of shit, but certainly never to the degree of Rollins. |

I think the move itself is more unsafe than rollins. Too many variables on how a person can land, and it can be difficult to brace yourself for it.
I ghink if rollins retires the move, then it's problem solved, because outside of that cena thing with the knee, he's never hurt anyone before, in wwe or the indies. |

I think he's a good dude, and a great worker and praise after praise after praise, but come on, this is 3 guys he's hurt, 2 on the same move. You can only keep having so many accidents before it seems like you aren't taking responsibility for the guys inside the ring with you as much as you should be. Then again, I'm not a worker, so maybe I'm completely wrong, and where you're going with it is completely right, Figgy. Your point has a definite validity to it, I just think in this case, where there's smoke there is fire. |

2) I hate to say it, because I'm a fan, but if it were a lot of the names on the undercard that had the same track record, we would be most likely reading about releases or at least a dropped push about now. Especially if he had hurt Randy Orton (Ken Kennedy, anyone? Kofi Kingston?) |

The buckle bomb could probably go, but I think a lot of the injuries around Seth comes down to him feeling the need to prove himself. He's a lankier guy, so he wants to show he can toss guys around and look "legit" in there. That's only speculation, of course, but I can only imagine the pressure Seth Rollins has felt as a guy trying to embed himself in the main event with the terrible booking in WWE.
He can probably take a massive chill pill right now though, because it's obvious he's a guy in the WWE. |
