Do you mean future TNA Women's Champion Autumn Raen and future TNA World Heavyweight Champion Darrel Yung? Both of them win in their respective TNA debuts.

He's exactly what the criticism of Daniel Bryan was: he's a B+ player. He's a fantastic midcard heel, he's consistently good, but he's not over to a main event level. While there have been exceptions, he's not someone you want in the main event.

But yes he's found his niche as midcard champion guy, and does it really well. To a B+ level.


I mean, he's in the closest thing Raw has to a main event level right now and is killing it. Your other top level heels who are available right now are Braun who's dead in a trash truck and Kane.

Well, the way he's been presented and thought of is still a problem. He's great, but I don't think people see him as a main event heel.

Even if he is the best heel, he wouldn't be effective foil for the universal title, I think. And yes, Face Braun does indeed leave them with so few main event level heels (and also Kane is there).

Lio Rush made a really stupid joke about Emma getting released, went "well I'M SORRY YOU DIDN'T GET MY JOKE" when Emma's former co-workers got mad at him for it, and Regal came to the defense of a wrestler he wanted WWE to sign.

If you're not sure what Miz was doing just say "feuding with Dean Ambrose" and you'll be right 99% of the time.

:chillout:

he knows...
darren young will wander the northeast indies for a bit and then partner on a wrestling school in new jersey somewhere
summer rae will continue to be an instagram model and internet personality but won't wrestle again on any meaningful level
emma will bounce all over doing joshi and women's promotions and probably settle back in australia to help their women's scene rebuild

I'd be shocked. Had told friends in the past she wouldn't and she was a WWE girl for life (would never go to TNA, would hope to keep a solid relationship with WWE so when she had something to promote they'd plug etc).

Also her neck/back is very bad and she's 33.

Probably but I mean more specifically current WWE. I wonder if there's a strong correlation between booking and merch sold. I'm mostly wondering about Alexa and Brock. Brock gets a new shirt for every city so I assume his stuff sells.

Also I bet Cena is still number one

WWE releases are the classic thing to be wrong about both in them actually happening and how many. But I've been told expect 5 more over the next few days.

90% of the main roster will be in Europe by Wednesday so I guess it will come from Neville, NXT and 205ers. IF true.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

I could see Metalik and/or Dorado getting cut. Dar will probably be kept because Vince thinks he has a funny (in a good way) accent. Also he's Scottish and Israeli so he has some appeal due to his international roots

Metallik being fired would be good so he could actually do literally anything anywhere else
