I still can't get over the fact that Karen Angle left Kurt for Jeff Jarrett. Seems so sleazy.

[#1-norm-fan]

The idea that Dr. Tom used the clothesline to intensify Jimmy's DDT isn't a bad idea.

Concept is sound. Execution... not so much

Maybe if someone hit a Side Russian Legsweep on the guy DDTing the opponent, it would work

Isn't a clothesline supposed to be a punishing move though?

And if he just didn't hit it hard enough to hurt his partner, then is there really enough power to cause him to fall THAT much harder?

[Swiss Ultimate]

It looked pretty cool, honestly. It just doesn't make much sense to clothesline your partner. It's just a risky thing to do if you're trying to win.

Watched "The Rise and Fall of WCW" last night. Was very boring. 1/10. Couldn't care less about who ran what at what time and all the backstage politics. Surprised I didn't just skip through all the "territory" stuff. Thought it'd mostly be a highlights package of storylines and wrestlers or something. Does anything like that exist? Just basically a run down of what happened between like 98-01, without me having to go back and watch full Nitro's or something. Just wanted a bit of WCW nostalgia.

Isn't there Best of Nitro DVD?

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Damn is there? That probably would've been much better.

[#1-norm-fan]

Seems crazy to think that Nitro only existed for 5 1/2 years.

Almost half as long as TNA Impact.

I'm coming across a lot of hate for Emma's pink cobra, but I don't really get why it's getting a lot of hate.

She's got a goofy bad dancing gimmick and has been paired with Santino, what were the people that don't like the pink cobra expecting?

Personally, I like the idea of it and I think it works, and the duo of Santino and Emma is going to be more entertaining, now that she has her own cobra.

Dirtsheets:

For the record, the plan is not to turn Bray babyface until the Shield turns heel, so the two sides will continue to remain on opposite sides of the fence (with the exception of Roman Reigns, of course, who will split off).

WWE officials have noted that given the circumstances, Daniel Bryan won't be appearing on the weekend shows in Toronto, Rockford and Peoria.

His status for Raw on Monday in St. Louis is to be determined. He insisted on doing the show to tie up everything and set up the program with Kane before returning home.

Bryan found out on Monday that his father had passed away.

Last Thursday's episode of TNA Impact Wrestling scored a 0.83 cable TV rating, which is down from the previous week's 1.02 rating.

As noted earlier, Impact drew just over one million viewers, down 400,000 viewers from the prior week. Impact did not rank within the top 50 shows on cable TV Thursday night.

She is 21, man! If you were someone that young who had the crowd's attention wherever you went then you would be attention craving also. The real test is the mainstream WWE audience which is a good 10x the size of her usual audiences.

So, catching up on RAW and heard Cesaro's new music... aside from being kinda "meh", I noticed it kinda sounded like the instrumental from that one scene from the newer Rollerball. You know, the only scene worth shit. And it also happened to be accompanied on screen by Paul Heyman.

I saw Monday Night Raw in bits and pieces today. I felt really bad for Daniel Bryan. He was visibly upset. The three tombstones felt good enough to reestablish Kane's demonic side. Wade / Bad News Barrett was really over. It seems like he is going to become the next Intercontinental Champion (along with being the reigning linear champion). The Evolution titantron needs work and does Dean "Titty Master" Ambrose still carry the US title? Emma was meh. I am not invested in the Cena - Wyatt feud at all. I did not like Cesaro's new theme. I hope that they revert back to the Real American theme or his first theme. That's all folks.

She's not living the gimmick!

But seriously, you're right about the whole "Anti-Diva" thing. To me, she's just like any other Diva, if not more than the other Diva's. She's the "Diva-est" Diva, if you will.

When I think of "Anti-Diva", I think of Chyna, Jazz, the fantastic team that was Beth Phoenix and Natalya, and currently, Tamina. I think of a woman who just wants to go to the ring, win and maybe hurt someone in the process. Not a 21 year old who constantly takes pictures of herself posing and showing off her backside.

Well to be fair since her main roster debut they haven't really given her any character

It's because she wasn't ready.

I'm coming across a lot of people who aren't fans of his new theme.

I think it's alright, though I'm not quite sure what the point of the siren is. It'll probably be one of those themes that will grow on people over time.

Like I've said before, when something is new, the majority of people don't like it, but it's only because it's new and different and they weren't expecting it. After a while, it'll become normal and people will adjust to it and then they will either like it or just tolerate it.

Though I do get the feeling that his theme will go through a number of slight changes until a final version is found. Probably the changes will be with the siren, similar to when Lesnar debuted. At first he had alarms, drills and other sounds at the beginning of his theme, until the guitar noise was made the preferred version.

They can "promote" partying. They don't have to overtly mention drink or drugs.

Or they could send a message to the Universe with Rose's debut; the Exotic Express pulls up at Raw, the party guests run off the bus screaming. The camera crew run on to the bus to find Rose face-down in a puddle of his own vomit.

Where Are They Now?: Trevor Murdoch

http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2014/04/20140422-where-are-they-now-trevor-murdoch-1-642.jpg

He may not have had the physique of a Greek god, but Trevor Murdoch knows that hard work, along with some sweet karaoke skills, matters more than a six-pack in the long run. The Harley Race-trained trucker-turned-tag team champion takes the work ethic he picked up in the squared circle into his current gig in his home state of Missouri.

Murdoch’s road to the ring began in tiny Fredericktown, Mo., a town of fewer than 4,000 people in the Ozark Mountains. He was a wrestling fan almost from the beginning.

“My brother would wake me up on Sunday mornings to watch World Class Championship Wrestling,” he told WWE.com. “I grew up on the Von Erichs and ‘Gentleman’ Chris Adams. I loved how they competed in the ring and controlled that crowd, how they were able to bring them up and back down. The whole thing really amazed me.”

Like many kids, Murdoch dreamed of stepping into the ring himself. However, training for the squared circle wasn’t as accessible as it is today.

“I always had it in the back of my mind, but it was one of those things that you really didn’t know how to get into,” Murdoch said. “It was kind of a big wish.”

After high school, he planned on joining the Marines, but instead went into the Job Corps and became a certified welder. Before long, he found himself in Athens, Ga., building railroad cars. He soon came back to Missouri, where his brother was working with a small independent wrestling organization. Murdoch finally had his opportunity to step in the ring.

“I was really just a tackling dummy for everybody,” he said with a laugh. “I was a young guy, 6-foot-3, I was good to beat up.

http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2014/04/20140422-trevor-murdoch-inset-1-268.jpg

Through his work on the Missouri independents, Murdoch came into contact with WWE Hall of Famer Harley Race, who was opening his own wrestling school in Eldon, Mo. The opportunity to train with a former World Champion like Race was too good to pass up. Murdoch ended up being one of the first two students to join Race’s camp, which was an interesting feeling for him.

“In the beginning, it was very nerve-wracking, because number one, he’s ‘Handsome’ Harley Race, eight-time NWA World Champion, ‘The King’!” he said. “But I knew in the back of my head if I could get through [Race’s training], I would have the reputation of at least being a good, tough wrestler. I wanted that.”

Murdoch got the chance to fine-tune his skills in the ring while Race figured out what the best curriculum was for teaching future classes. The burly grappler recalls six- and seven-day-a-week training with calisthenics, matches and learning a move or two from “Handsome” Harley. Though he picked up plenty of knowledge from Race, Murdoch holds three lessons from Race very dear.

“First and foremost, you always need to be a man of your word. If you don’t have your word, people can’t trust what you say and you’re nothing in this business,” Murdoch recalled. “Secondly, the cream will rise to the top. This business isn’t fair, but if you work hard, they’ll eventually have no choice but to put you in the top position. Number three, be tough. Don’t let them see that they’ve hurt you.”

That advice stuck with Murdoch as he traveled to Japan, spending six months in Pro Wrestling NOAH’s dojo. He endured grueling training that included 500 squats, 300 push-ups, extended neck bridging sessions, in-ring drills and more. He didn’t know it at the time, but this excursion would change his life the next time Race sent him to Raw to work as a local talent.

“WWE had never really paid any attention to me,” Murdoch explained. “I was just game for going up there to meet the guys, have some good catering, collect $250 and go home.”

http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2014/04/20140422-where-are-they-now-trevor-murdoch-2-642.jpg

However, once he got to the ringside area to work out, his Japanese-style stretching routine caught the attention of some Superstars. After talking about his experience overseas, Murdoch had the support of a few wrestlers, who got him a tryout match that night. He impressed and earned another match the next night. After that, he found himself in the office of then-WWE Talent Relations head John Laurinaitis.

“He said, ‘Kid, what are you doing nowadays?’” Murdoch recalled. “I said I was a bartender and he asked if I wanted a job [with WWE]. All I could do was nod my head yes.”

Unlike most Superstars, Trevor Murdoch did not end up in WWE’s developmental system. Instead, the redneck brawler almost immediately found himself trying out to be Lance Cade’s tag team partner. The handsome cowboy had non-televised matches teaming with Murdoch and another potential Superstar and opted to run with Murdoch. The two clicked both inside and outside the ring almost immediately.

“After our first match on the road, he and I had a long talk during that first car ride,” Murdoch said. “We told each other that we both wanted to be successful, that we knew eventually that we’d probably split up. But, we didn’t want any bull crap between us. We always wanted to be honest. The one rule we had is we never complained or got mad in front of anybody, it was always for the car.”

It was that upfront honesty that made Murdoch & Cade more than just on-screen partners.

“We were similar in our personal lives in a lot of ways, too,” he said. “We both had young children and idolized the same people in the business. WWE was putting a tag team together to make money, but they ended up putting together friends. Brothers.”

http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2014/04/20140422-trevor-murdoch-inset-2-268.jpg

The pairing was fast-tracked for a debut on Raw in September 2005. Murdoch can recall it like it was yesterday.

“To walk through that curtain and see all those people, your chest is pounding, you start to breathe harder,” he said. “You try to look into the eyes of every fan, but you can’t because there’s so many. When you slide into that ring and feel the heat of the lights, you know it’s game time.”

In their debut, Murdoch & Cade shocked the WWE Universe by defeating then-World Tag Team Champions The Hurricane & Rosey. The trucker and the cowboy earned themselves a title opportunity several weeks later at Unforgiven 2005. The new tag team emerged with the championships after Murdoch pinned Hurricane. The feeling after he was handed the title was indescribable.

“You don’t ever expect anything like that to happen,” Murdoch told WWE.com.

More important to Murdoch was being able to show the fruit of his labor to his trainer.

“I came home with the title and laid it down on Harley Race’s desk,” he said. “He just smiled at me and said, ‘I told you the cream will rise to the top.’ It was really awesome to be able to bring it to Harley and also to the guys training [at Race’s school], to show them that it was attainable.”

By November 2005, Murdoch and Cade had split up to focus on their singles career. In addition to going after the Intercontinental Championship, Murdoch also took up a role as the squared circle’s resident movie critic on WWE Unlimited, a predecessor to the WWE App’s second-screen experience.

The break-up didn’t last very long, however. The two were back together and wreaking havoc in Raw’s tag team division by spring 2006. It took them a little while to get back in the title hunt, but they did in summer 2007. Cade & Murdoch soon had a friendly rivalry with The Hardy Boyz over the World Tag Team Titles that turned unfriendly rather quickly after Trevor & Lance dethroned Matt & Jeff on a Raw that June. Murdoch had a blast working with one of the most popular teams in WWE history.

“Even today, I can still hear their entrance music and feel the energy that they brought to the building,” he said. “This business is about telling stories and they could do it in so many different ways. The Hardy Boyz are by far one of the best tag teams in the business.”

http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2014/04/20140422-where-are-they-now-trevor-murdoch-3-642.jpg

Murdoch & Cade held the World Tag Team Titles for nearly the rest of 2007. After they dropped the titles to Cody Rhodes & Hardcore Holly, tensions began to rise between the partners. Trevor and his teammate knew a split was likely on its way, so they began thinking of ways to freshen up their singles careers. Murdoch’s inspiration came from an unlikely source.

“Me and Lance would end up in karaoke bars and I would sing and just have fun,” he said. “Lance told me I ought to do something with singing. I thought about and was like, ‘Maybe something could happen,’ and he said, ‘Well, you’ll never know until you try.’“

So Murdoch set out to pitch the idea to the one man who could make it happen — Mr. McMahon.

“So I became a stalker,” he chuckled. “I would walk around the arena and see Vince, looking for the opportune time. Somebody’s talking to him, son of a gun. I start chasing him down, getting closer and closer to his office. He’s right at the door and another person goes to follow behind him and I just stick my arm in front of her and go through the door and follow Mr. McMahon right in and lean up against the door.”

Murdoch knew he only had one chance to sell Mr. McMahon on his singing, so he made it count.

“I said, ‘I know Lance and I are going to split soon, but I have an idea. I don’t know what we can do with it, but I like to sing country music. Here I go,’” he recalled. “So right there in his office, I sang a song. I don’t remember what it was, because I was so nervous he was going to laugh and tell me I was an idiot. I get done, and there’s that 10 or 20 second pause. Then, he went, ‘Damn, Trevor, that was great. Why didn’t you tell me you could do this? We’re going to put this on TV.’”

One week later, Murdoch was standing on the announcers’ table after a loss, serenading Cade and the WWE Universe with his version of Garth Brooks’ “Friends in Low Places.” The brawler was surprised by the reaction he got.

“I gave it enough time that the crowd started coming along with me,” he said. “By the end, they started cheering. It was a lot of fun.”

http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2014/04/20140422-where-are-they-now-trevor-murdoch-4-642.jpg

Murdoch crooned for the WWE Universe for a few more weeks, but was released in June 2008. Though he hasn’t been with WWE in nearly six years, any time he talks about his run, he smiles.

“I’m grateful,” he said. “WWE gave me an opportunity to do a number of things, to fulfill career goals and dreams, but also the opportunity to get in front of a national audience. I have nothing but good things to say about WWE and a lot of fond memories of being a champion, wrestling overseas and learning about the business from a different perspective.”

After leaving WWE, Murdoch competed in Japan and India, while maintaining a regular schedule on the independent circuit. He still enjoys getting in the ring and passing on the knowledge that Harley Race gave him.

He and his wife also purchased the bar he worked at before signing with WWE, turning it into T. Murdock’s Bar & Grill in Eldon, Mo. It was a perfect fit for him, as he likes to cook and learn about people.

“It was a great business,” he said. “It gave me an opportunity to meet the people in town and spend time with them on a one-on-one basis. That’s what I like to do, meet people and learn about them. It’s amazing how many people out there do such different things.”

He sold the restaurant last year, but Murdoch has a new gig that he enjoys.

“I’m working for a heavy equipment company, installing fiber optic cable,” he said. “I actually drill in the ground all day long. It’s a really nice paced job. I make good money and it keeps me at home, too. That’s what I’m really enjoying.”

Though he may be a surly brawler in the ring, Murdoch lights up when he talks about his family.

“I’ve got a beautiful wife, a daughter who’s 14, a freshman in high school, which I can’t believe,” he said. “And I have an 8-year-old son who’s starting tackle football this year.

“Work and family, that’s Trevor Murdoch today.”

Talks between Goldberg and HHH -- who managed to bring Warrior and Bruno Sammartino back in the WWE family over the past two years -- have already happened, with the two getting together in the build-up to WrestleMania XXX. A match between he and the aforementioned Ryback was the popular rumor at the time, but it appears to have been just that. Very few specific were discussed at the time, as they served mostly as a sort of icebreaker between the two sides.

There continues to be a lot of people within TNA that are worried TNA's deal with Spike TV won't be renewed this year. Last time the deal was renewed, it was done around this time, well before October when it expires.

We noted before that Dixie Carter recently held a meeting with employees at TNA's Nashville offices. Dixie asked why the morale was low in the company and a lot of it has to do with recent cutbacks. There's also a feeling that "Big" John Gaburick is in over his head. Gaburick has been doing a lot of creative work lately and while he worked for WWE, he never worked in creative there.

There was even more concern when Janice Carter and Panda Energy lawyer Creede Williams came to Nashville to have meetings with Dixie over the past few weeks. Janice and Panda officials usually stay in Texas so her trip to Nashville had people talking.

At the same meeting Dixie held with TNA's Nashville office employees, she wondered why TNA didn't have a presence at WWE's WrestleMania XXX weekend. A source observed that Dixie is always talking about what they should have done and not what they should do. There's a feeling that TNA needs someone to push open doors and make things happen but that's just not happening right now. There's a feeling that TNA is just there and they don't have much momentum.

Former TNA Tag Team and X Division Champion Christopher Daniels is apparently no longer with the company. Daniels tweeted today, "I became a free agent & a published comic book writer on the same day!

This time last week, speculation mounted that WWE are finally producing a Sting DVD. It was listed for September pre-order on Zavvi, a UK retail site. Now, a listing for the DVD and Blu-ray has this week also been added to Amazon UK.

Should the project be going ahead (the most likely scenario) we expect to have more solid details, and to see it go up on US based sites, in the coming weeks.

Bad News Barrett is expected to defeat Rob Van Dam on Monday's RAW, likely due to interference from Cesaro, and go on to face Big E for the WWE Intercontinental Title at Extreme Rules. This will lead to Cesaro vs. Van Dam vs. Jack Swagger in a three-way at Extreme Rules

Another match scheduled for Extreme Rules but not announced yet is Ryback and Curtis Axel vs. The Usos for the WWE Tag Team Titles.
Spoiler tags since it currently gives away both the IC tournament finals and ties into another match for Extreme Rules.

WWE scout Gerald Brisco’s blue chip recruit this year is University of Minnesota heavyweight Tony Nelson, who won NCAA titles in 2012 and 2013, but lost in the finals this year. Nelson also has some offers from NFL teams. Brisco praised Nelson and said he could be in the main event of WrestleMania in four years. Apparently WWE needed an answer from Nelson on Wednesday of this week.

WWE officials did give Daniel Bryan the option of skipping Monday's RAW altogether and to go home but he said no. The angle with Kane was done to get Bryan off the show early. The impression was given that Bryan would be back for next Monday's RAW but officials are perfectly fine with him taking off until Extreme Rules if he wants to. There's a feeling that the angle with Kane came off so strong that they could keep Bryan out until Extreme Rules and the match would have more of an underdog vs monster feel to it.

JR mentioned the argument I had with him on Twitter in his podcast with Jim Cornette which of course was awesome. He said Lesnar isn't a true heel because he doesn't fit the "tradtional" heel role. I think he means guys like The Outlaws in late 97-early 98(watching that era) who were cowards and cheated every chance they got.

What is his gimmick? Anti-Venom?

[Savio]

Yea

[Emperor Smeat]

The past few months, he's done a Spiderman, Carnage, Venom, and Punisher based paint job design.

[Lock Jaw]

So his gimmick is that he's a NEEERRRRRRRRRDDDDD

The end kind of reminds me of a spot in this battle royal where Riho (who was 12 at the time) had a sleeper on Minoru Suzuki. Suzuki "sold" it as if he was oblivious to where she was (despite her being on his back).

Don't think you were being ignored as much as not understanding what you meant by the question. Of course, I can only speak for myself here. Were you asking if Cobra Commander, as a character, had a reason other than asthetics for wearing a shiny chrome faceplate? Or was the question about the cosplayer wearing the mask in the pic?

Seth Rollins looks a lot curvier when he shaves the beard off.

Rewatching it, HHH showed an amazing level of ring psychology during his match at Mania with Bryan.

Wade Barrett's stock within WWE went up a lot with his promo at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. Vince McMahon has been high on Barrett for a while and is a fan of the Bad News Barrett gimmick

WWE could be losing out on tax breaks in North Carolina for TV and film productions. The program that offers tax breaks to studios filming in North Carolina could be ending later this year. The new draft of the program would eliminate breaks for late-night shows, reality TV shows and professional wrestling. WWE's TV tapings in 2010 and 2011 claimed more than $570,000 in tax credits. WWE spokeswoman Tara Carraro said that WWE would still come to North Carolina if the incentives go away. “WWE applies for applicable film and tax credits offered by any state where we do business just like many other production companies do."

TNA has been reaching out to several independent women's wrestlers to compete on the One Night Only: Knockouts Knockdown pay-per-view that will be taped on May 10th.

In the upcoming weeks guests who will be appearing on the Ross Report include: ESPN's Michelle Beadle, Lance Storm, MVP, Sting, Eric Bischoff and Ted DiBiase, Tony Schiavone and Cowboy Bill Watts, among others including Stan Hansen

[James Steele]

Jim Ross' podcast is the best one as it is all about wrestling and he is unashamed about it. Stone Cold is second. He has made it a wrestling podcast and often when he just rambles about stupid shit - it's fucking hilarious. Jericho's is meh.

[Vastardikai]

I'd love to hear what the Bad Man from Borger, TX has to say about... anything.

[James Steele]

I want to hear the story of him running over the AWA World Title and sending it back bent up and covered in mud.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, Jericho's is honestly pretty boring. I'd put Cabana in third.

Oh yeah! TNA PPV tonight. Completely forgot. I was into TNA like... a month ago. Man, they sure know how to fuck things up.

Just checked in on the PPV though. Sounds like it's in front of about 40 people. No exaggeration.

Decided to check to see if there are pictures of the attendance tonight like there always is for TNA PPV's, but there's none yet.

I did however find pictures of the attendance for Lockdown.

Looks pretty bad. I'm not joking when I say that the indy promotion that operates in my area gets more people through their doors than what those pictures show. But to be fair, it's only really when they have a "big name" appearing.

[#1-norm-fan]

Assuming the camera-side is empty again. The other side seems to have about as many people as Lockdown had. It seriously sounds like the arena is almost empty though. It's crazy. You can hear every individual sound someone makes. lol

Didn't know they had a PPV today... DVRed this week's Impact, but haven't watched it yet.

Supposedly its Natalya vs Charlotte for the NXT Women's Title and Neville vs Tyson Kidd for the NXT Championship at NXT Takeover May 29th on ze Network, the next big NXT special..

Sounds like some exciting Total Divas storylines for season 3...

At least Tyson Kidd isn't Brodus Clay

Apparently the "I Quit" match between Gunner and James Storm was outstanding and Gunner bled like a motherfucker. I've seen a couple of the matches they've had during this rivalry and have fucking loved them despite not caring much for Gunner. Probably gonna look for this one.

WWE needs to focus on pushing Erick Rowan and Luke Harper more. They're both awesome. When they were pushing The Shield, they made them all look strong. Despite Ambrose being the clear leader, they never sacrificed the other two in order to make a guy look good to ultimately face Ambrose. This is a problem WWE has constantly struggled with over the years with stables even since The Legacy. They're pushing the leader and in order to make guys look good for an eventual match with the leader, they job the other members to them. It's lazy and it sucks. Don't get me wrong. Some stable members are meant to just be lackeys and job all the time and never actually get over. Just not them. Rowan and Harper should start just fucking dominating and looking scary as hell so they can organically get over too.

I don't watch NXT but I think there was a tournament for the NXT Women's Title and both Natalya and Charlotte made it to the finals. What I don't get though is when superstars from the main roster compete in matches and tournaments for an NXT title.

When you have a match for an NXT title and it's some NXT wrestler vs someone from the main roster, it's blatantly obvious that the NXT wrestler is going to win, because why would someone from the main roster be "demoted" to winning an NXT title?

lol

It's scary that when dressed like that, she looks quite a bit like a guy I know.

[VSG]

Huh I didn't know Paige was apparently an open bisexual. Good for her to not be shy but then the UK is much better at handling this. Some old pics for Bobo and the lot:

Every bird her age who is a Uni student or a bit of a "partier" is "bisexual."

Coz I'm all for it. Neville vs. Kidd will be awesome.

Yeah I never got why the character had the chrome faceplate.

Yeah the whole thing is really odd and feels very rushed. Just like the first Women's tournament, NXT doesn't have enough tv ready women wrestlers to fill out the bracket.

If Natalya somehow were to win, it would end up making the title strip look really dumb and probably done only because of Total Divas.

When does the original 6 month block subscription requirement end, August?

I'd assume that is when Nitro gets added or flooded with episodes to keep people subscribed.
