Also they're doing a 'judges score the matches' storyline and the judges are according tot his '3 unknown people'

I know TNA is light on legends and all, but you can't even try to get people over in this scenario by having the judges be someone that anyone gives a poo poo about? That seems like about the easiest thing possible to make it seem like a big deal instead of another stupid terrible idea

Turning Broken Matt face will probably have the same problems as WWE does with Face New Day (in that their gimmicks were bizarre vanity projects that somehow got over and then they became bland catchphrase-spewing automatons), but I can't blame TNA for running with the one thing that's actually given them positive buzz this year.

No way Broken Matt will become a catchphrase spewing automaton, he'd have to DELETE himself if he did.

Happy to see Leah Vaughan the former Leah Von Dutch show up on the radar again. I thought she was transition out of Wrestling about a year ago. But since then she went back to Wrestling training and essentially got retrained, went on a long tour with STARDOM and is about tour Europe.

Surprised there was no Dusty Classic.

I saw her squash Crazy Mary Dobson at a Ring of Honor show at the end of last October. It was a decent enough match. Glad she's not dead.

The Women's match actually being inside HiaC is a big deal and worthy of scoopage you doofuses. But don't let context get in the way of another rovert circlejerk I guess.

Yes and it's been reported a bunch of places, but only one of them felt the need to post an anonymous text screenshot about it, in which someone specifically told them not to talk about it lol

Dean is like early-mid 2000's Jericho. Not on the level of Cena, Reigns, or Styles, but just below that. I'd argue KO is more of a midcarder than Dean, which is really damning for Raw.

KO is a heel champion, so yeah. He's literally incapable of beating anyone in a match. If he had to defend the title one on one against Titus he'd need Chris Jericho to save him

Sorry to interrupt this Robert Roode talk and all but I was politely saying NXT thinks Hero is too indie, doesn't play to the cameras and has a poo poo look.

Probably true, but I'm sure that 40 year old career mediocre indie guy Robert Roode is the future of WWE, on account of them giving him a theme song that people like

Furthermore, Tye Dillinger is a future world champ and Blue Pants is the truth

They're just bringing back all the old teams and gimmicks aren't they? When do they bring back Team Canada?

I haven't seen Konnan in awhile, does he always look like some sort of horribly deformed mutant, or is that a new development?

Pretty sure he wouldn't have reentered the USADA testing pool as a bluff

If it made Vince give him millions more dollars, I'm sure he would. I also wouldn't doubt at all that he's serious about returning to UFC at some point, so he needs to re-enter the pool, but either way, if he wants them as leverage in negotiations he had to do it.

I asked around extensively about this.

Becky Lynch currently isn't apart of the internal plans for Summerslam.

The Cyborg feud is just her going into business for herself and a project between Becky Lynch, Luke Sanders and a backup plan for Cyborg if she lost last weekend.

Did Cyborg really need a backup plan in case she lost to her latest completely overmatched tomato can
