Personally, I would have liked an explanation for the last minute delay.

It's feels like a bit of a dick move to wait until around twenty minutes before we're due to get it, after hyping it up and with one previous delay already happened, and then pull out and pretty much say "Actually, you're not getting the network today".

Dirtsheets:

Bryan talked about his injury and how slow the recovery has been. He said he's not sure what to do with his free time because this is the first time he's been out of the ring for this long since he began his career.

Bryan said he feels fine but still has a lot of weakness in his right hand. He talked about how having a weak hand is dangerous for he and his opponents. Bryan said he's not in pain but they can't figure out how to get his strength back.

Bryan was asked about WrestleMania 31 and said he will be heartbroken if he can't compete. Bryan said they are hoping he will be ready for WrestleMania 31 but he will be disappointed if he's not able to perform.

Rey Mysterio will be in Buffalo for tonight's WWE RAW. Vince McMahon notified his inner circle of this over the weekend. The creative team is actively working on concepts to reintroduce him as a regular starting soon. It remains to be determined if Rey will be on television tonight. He may simply meet with officials and begin plotting his return. It should be noted that there is no guarantee that Mysterio will return to WWE television, although it appears likely. Rey Mysterio was last seen backstage at a recent Lucha Underground TV tapings in Los Angeles where the he visited friends with his son, Dominic, who has also appeared in the past on WWE TV. Rey has made it no secret that he is burned out, like CM Punk, and is looking to take a break from wrestling once his WWE contract expires in the spring. Sources say he is interested in acting in Mexico as well as doing other non-wrestling projects

Global Force Wrestling is proud to announce that the first event under its banner will be in conjunction with New Japan Pro Wrestling and its Jan. 4 show from the Tokyo Dome.

“GFW Presents New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom 9” will air live in North America at 2 a.m. ET on Jan. 4, which is 4 p.m. in Tokyo. The four-hour telecast also will air in primetime in North America at 7 p.m. ET on your pay-per-view provider, including DirecTV, Dish, AT&T U-verse, Comcast, Verizon Fios and all cable systems in the United States, and in Canada on Bell ExpressVu TV, Rogers, Shaw, Sasktel and Telus. Check your local listings for availability. The show also will be available on the “Flipps” app on iTunes or Android ...

The show will be available in English and in Japanese via the second audio program (SAP) button on your TV. GFW will reveal the North American announcers for the event in the near future.

We first reported last month that Jarrett met with Ring of Honor COO Joe Koff to apparently work out a deal that would allow ROH talents who are scheduled to appear on the show to remain on the card. ROH has a clause in their contracts prohibiting their talent from appearing on pay-per-views for another wrestling promotion. It appears as if that fell through as we have learned that there are some major issues with ROH talent being pulled from the Tokyo dome show.
Really bad news for ROH wrestlers since they lost out on Wrestling Kingdom 9, the pay for that event, and possibly all future NJPW related work because of ROH management.

Kevin Steen began filming promos and vignettes at the WWE Performance Center yesterday to build to his WWE NXT debut as Kevin Owens.

Steen will debut at the 12/11 December NXT special on the WWE Network or the NXT TV taping on 12/1
Used the spoiler tags since it gives away his debut date.

It's still very possible that Orton misses Survivor Series, despite being expected for the Team Cena vs. Team Authority match. Orton was pulled from local advertising for the pay-per-view, which takes place in his hometown of St. Louis. It was said that there's a good chance Orton misses Survivor Series but because The Condemned 2 is a WWE movie, they can always give him a day off to work the pay-per-view.

As noted, WWE Network delayed their UK launch today just 20 minutes before it was scheduled to go live. The Network UK launch was delayed at the last minute due to the same reason the original October 1st launch didn't happen - because of ongoing negotiations with Sky TV. WWE signed a new five-year TV deal with BSkyB this past January for a major rights fees increase. With the new deal, it was announced that all pay-per-views would air on Sky Sports Box Office. Up until this year, 4 pay-per-views would air on Sky Sports at no extra charge for people who have the channel, while the remaining shows were on Sky Box Office at £14.95 per event.


Some other sheet news include the first episode of Lucha Underground ended up being one of the most watched shows on the El Rey Network and Sky Sports denying rumors they were involved in the WWE Network's delay in the UK

Id watch Lucha Underground if DirecTV carried el Rey in HD. As it is, its standard def and its window boxed (black bars on all 4 sides) so the picture ends up being small as hell on my 47 inch TV. I watched the main event from the first show on YouTube and it was great.

Am I crazy, or would Survivor Series be the PERFECT time to turn Cena.

Yes, I know it won't happen, but it is perfect. Have Orton be on Team Cena, just to have Cena turn on him and join the Authority, yadda yadda yadda.

But that's not why it is perfect. It is perfect because they are giving away Survivor Series for free. They could literally do the biggest heel turn of the modern era on a "free ppv" that is likely to get the most views. Ratings for the next night of Raw would sky rocket. I don't know how the ratings payoff would shake out with the merchandise drop, but still...

John Cena turning heel would be pretty epic, and Randy Orton is the sort of babyface star that the company knows quite well by now. There won't be too many surprises on that front for them, which I have always felt is a big downside to putting a rising star against a heel Cena.

Dirty Sheets:

There have been several (unconfirmed) reports that Stephanie McMahon may be pregnant, and this may be the reason for a recently added stipulation to the traditional Survivor Series elimination match.

Several posts on Twitter and social media mentioned Stephanie looked a bit “larger” around her stomach, and either she or Triple H had their arm(s) around her stomach to possibly hide this. It is speculated that this news was the reason for the stipulation at Survivor Series, which will see The Authority lose their power if they lose, and it easily writes her out of scripts.

During an interview published last week in Fighting Spirit Magazine discussing the circumstances surrounding his departure from WWE, Alberto Del Rio claimed that it was not uncommon for people in positions of power in the Stamford, Connecticut-based organization to openly say racial remarks around employees under the guise of jokes. According to Del Rio, the remarks were frequently aimed toward African Americans and Hispanics.

According to Del Rio, the member of WWE management who notified him of his release would often make racial jokes around employees. Del Rio voiced his displeasure with this during their conversation, feeling that he should be setting a better example.

“The person calling me was one of the most important people in the company, and I said, “We always hear these racist jokes from you, and because you’re one of the most important people in the company in this company, your other employees hear you making these stupid comments, and they think they can do it,” said Del Rio. “I said, “It’s just like in my house: if my son sees me spitting on the floor, he’s gonna do it, because he’s going to think that it’s the right thing to do, because I’m the power figure in the house. In this company, it’s exactly the same: when they hear you doing these racist comments all the time, and we don’t say anything, because it is you, now those guys think they can go make those stupid comments.”

According to Wrestling Observer editor Dave Meltzer, who initially reported Del Rio’s interview comments, the person who Del Rio is talking about is Paul “Triple H” Levesque, WWE’s Executive Vice President, Talent, Live Events & Creative.

Basically confirming what Ricardo said about Triple H a while ago.

According to F4WOnline.com, the WWE Tag Title match on Smackdown this week, which will be a Cage Match featuring Goldust and Stardust vs The Usos, will likely be used to setup a match for the tag team titles at Survivor Series.

As of now, it seems as if Los Matadores should be the #1 Contenders to the WWE Tag Titles, so it’s likely a title change will not happen on Smackdown this week.

Instead, the cage match will probably be used to setup what is rumored to be a multi-team WWE tag title match at Survivor Series.

There's speculation from multiple sources that Vince McMahon's return to WWE TV this week could indicate that WWE is going forward with a major WrestleMania storyline that they had planned for this time last year. You may remember that WWE had Vince McMahon advertised for some RAW events around this time but he was later pulled and did not appear. The plan was for Vince to return and build a power struggle feud with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon for WrestleMania XXX. At one point, WWE wanted to do Steve Austin vs. Triple H. That feud obviously never happened as the idea was dropped. With the recent reports of Triple H vs. The Rock being a possibility for WrestleMania 31, the speculation is that maybe they're bringing the power struggle storyline back with The Rock replacing Austin on Vince's side.
Better include some sort of hobo army for Vince.

There's at least some speculation within WWE that Kofi Kingston and Big E will be involved in the "A New Day" gimmick with Xavier Woods. Big E and Kofi have not been featured in the new Woods vignettes that have aired.

There were a lot of people wondering why WWE had Sheamus and Rusev wrestle on last night's RAW before their United States Title Match on the WWE Network post-show. It turns out that Rusev vs. Sheamus for the title was originally planned for Survivor Series. The decision was made on Monday to move the match to the WWE Network last night but the script for RAW had already been written with Sheamus vs. Tyson Kidd and Rusev vs. Zack Ryder. WWE decided to go with Rusev and Sheamus pulling double duty.


Some other sheet news include TNA Impact either getting moved again to a new time spot or being delayed for at least a week after the final regular taped episode airs later this month.

So a rapper called Consequence released a song last month the features Mark Crozer, the guy the majority of wrestling fans know as being behind Bray Wyatt's theme.

Anyway, I couldn't help but think that either Consequence made this song and it's supposed to be about The Wyatt's, or maybe he made this song with the hopes that it would get picked up by the WWE and they would want to buy it from him, just like they did with Mark Crozer.

The lyrics seem to fit the Wyatt's far too well for the latter to just be a "coincidence", and it also has a Legion Of Doom reference in it too.

I typed up the lyrics for anyone that's interested, though the lyrics are what I hear, as the lyrics that are online, come across as being pretty wrong to me and a lot also have question marks all over them, to show that whoever typed them up wasn't 100% sure of what they heard was correct.

It's a good song though. It's been in my head for a few days now.

He’s got the whole world in his hands
The whole world in his hands
And it’s a cold world that takes the heart of a man
So go hard as you can, as hard as you can
He’s got the world

All, all of my heroes, all of my heroes have gone away
And left me, left me here ostracised
Left me here feeling compromised
That's why there's a monster inside

He’s got the whole world in his hands
The whole world in his hands
And it’s a cold world that takes the heart of a man
So go as hard as you can, as hard as you can
He’s got the world

All, all of my faith has been drained
There’s some fears I can’t explain, I know it’s time for change
A change in me, a change the world is about to see
'cause I’ve been victimised, they're all gonna see the villain inside

He’s got the whole world in his hands
The whole world in his hands
And it’s a cold world that takes the heart of a man
So go as hard as you can, as hard as you can
He’s got the world

Sister Abigail warned me 'bout them rabbit tails
And 'em horse shoes, and 'em court rooms
Damn, we’re more doomed, than Hawk and Animal
To the point where history becomes annual
Nothing can be amicable when you're tryna stop profit
Nah, they just label you as a false prophet
And claim that you've talked to a society
Then put their FBI’s on me
I guess that irony is destroyin’ it from the inside
And this entirety, will inspire me to untie this tyranny
So there’s two choices, either hire or retire me
But there ain't no denyin’ me, we'll call the all risin' of a dynasty

He’s got the whole world in his hands
In his hands, in his hands
And it’s a cold world that takes the heart of a man
So go as hard as you can, as hard as you can
He’s got the world

I really want Curtis Axel to succeed, but I just feel like he is missing that "thing" people need. His match with Justin Gabriel was pretty good, but that's never been a concern with Axel. The running knee finish made him look more brutal and focused, but he's always had intensity when he's spoken.

I was thinking watching that match though: I wouldn't be opposed to seeing The Authority put Dolph Ziggler in an Intercontinental Title match at Survivor Series to soften him up. Use a loophole where he is obligated to defend the title or something. Ziggler and Axel can have a fifteen-minute match where Stephanie screws Dolph out of the title Montreal-style, and Axel gets a second run with the IC Title as Dolph has more reason to bring the fire in the main event.

Then I realised that would all work better with Tyson Kidd.

Good news/Bad News about the GFW sponsored Wrestling Kingdom 9 event next year.

The good news is ROH wrestlers are being allowed to wrestle in the event and overall show time is getting cut back a bit to make it easier to watch.

The bad news is those ROH wrestlers and their matches won't be shown in the US feed and a lot of stuff might get cut to fit a 4 hour show. NJPW usually likes around 4.5 to 5 hours for their big ppvs events since it allows for some intermissions, bigger cards, and longer matches.

The negative is the four-hour window. As anyone who watches New Japan shows knows, their big shows are usually four-and-a-half hours and Tokyo Domes closer to five hours. Given all the talent in the promotion, plus the pageantry with the long and elaborate entrances, they will have to cut back on match time to hit four hours, causing them to rush through prelims. Another question would be if they will break Japan tradition and run a show with no intermission, which at least would give them about 20 more minutes to work with, which they’ll need.

Nothing is for sure, but we do know that Kyle O’Reilly, Bobby Fish and the ROH champion at the time were all earmarked for the show, which was to include both ROH and NWA title defenses, besides those of the Japanese belts.

The talent expected to be on the show from ROH was told that as things stood, they would still be on the show but their match would not air on PPV into the U.S., meaning the matches (believed to be two bouts although nothing is confirmed at press time for any ROH talent on the show) would be dark matches.

Anyone else remember when WWE PPVs used to have intermissions. Halfway through it would just cut to Gene Okerlund in a studio for 15 minutes to discuss what has happened and what's coming up? Or maybe it was just WrestleMania. I don't know. I definitely remember it though. Would be so odd today to just cut to a studio for 10 minutes mid-PPV.

Whilst reading this the thought of having William Regal be a manager for Axel crossed my mind. Regal is now doing less on screen with NXT and is a fantastic mic worker.

I then had the idea that Christian could manage him. I've liked the idea of the former multi-time Tag Team Champion taking a young tag team under his wing, though.

The I realised that they already put Axel with the greatest manager alive today, and tried him in a tag team and neither really worked out.

Maybe he really is a lost cause.

Here's the thing with Big Show...

They've booked him like retards forever. He should be a bigger deal than he is. If they had overused the "OMG he's being beaten down like we've never seen him before!" with Andre, do you think he would have been remotely as big of a deal? No. It's ridiculous how careless they get with certain guys booking-wise. Show was getting GREAT reactions last year during that authority storyline. He was more over than I can remember him ever being because he was being booked as the guy the authority couldn't handle. Then the FIRST NIGHT he gets rehired... they have the authority beat the living shit out of him and show the world he's just another guy as opposed to a giant who can save the company from evil. And the Survivor Series main event instantly turns to shit. Ridiculous.

Dirtsheets Mania:

The Brock Lesnar situation with WWE continues to become an interesting story as his contract gets closer to winding down. There is a lot of talk that Lesnar's price tag might not be enough to justify using him for shows outside of WWE Royal Rumble and WrestleMania ...

The key factor with Lesnar is his price tag. The original plan, which could still be in the works, is for Lesnar to finally lose at WrestleMania 31 to Roman Reigns, making Reigns' the new face of the company. Part of the issue with that is the concern that it won't be as meaningful if everyone knows it's Lesnar's final match.

There was an expectation at one point in time that WWE would sign Lesnar to a new deal and possibly give him a big babyface run. While it could still happen, it really seems to boil down to whether or not WWE considers his price tag something that's worth it financially in the end.

As far as Lesnar's next match, the plan was for him to beat John Cena in January so that the win by Reigns at WrestleMania would look even more impressive. However, if WWE decides that they can't afford to re-sign Lesnar, then the plans for the Lesnar-Cena match could be changed. The alternative as things stand now would appear to be Cena beating Lesnar, setting up a Cena vs. Reigns match at WrestleMania, which Reigns would win. They could also put the title on Seth Rollins and have Reigns beat him at WrestleMania, however the feeling is that wouldn't be as meaningful as Reigns beating Lesnar or Cena

WWE’s latest survey to fans asks about their viewing habits and includes TNA as something they’re gauging. You can check out a screenshot of the survey here, in which fans are asked what kinds of sports and sports entertainment they watch. Among the options are TNA, the UFC, the NHL and MMA, golf, films/movies, WWE and more.

As he recovers from hernia surgery, Roman Reigns is taking acting lessons from Howard Fine, who was once recognized as "Best Acting Teacher in Los Angeles" by Back Stage magazine. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported in July that Fine was working with NXT talent at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. During his 30-year teaching career, Howard has personally coached Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Mohammed Hassan, Stacy Keibler, Diamond Dallas Page, Lindsay Lohan, Brad Pitt, Justin Timberlake, Salma Hayek, Sasha Cohen, Jennifer Connelly, Michelle Kwan, Rosanna Arquette, Tara Reid, Amanda Byrnes, Vanessa Hudgens, Ray Parker Jr., Gerard Butler, Linda Gray, Darryl Hannah, Diana Ross, Mike Tyson, Julia Roberts, Lou Ferrigno, Carl Lewis, Val Kilmer, Brooke Shields, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.

Chavo Guerrero is calling a lot of the shots behind the scenes at Lucha Underground. It is said to be similar to how Bully Ray's influence backstage in TNA was. In addition to being a senior agent in charge of laying out matches and finishes for most matches, Chavo is also a liaison between the boys and One Three Media, the production company behind the tapings. Chavo also continued to push for the wrestlers to slow down and do more mat work at the final tapings for the year, even with the luchadores, who are more well known for the aerial style of wrestling. One source noted that Chavo was frustrated that younger wrestlers, as well as even Johnny Mundo (f.k.a. John Morrison), were going too fast and has been adamant that the match pacing slows down. They felt that the 44-year old Chavo was having trouble keeping up and a that a slower style worked to his benefit

As noted earlier, AAA talents Drago, Fenix Jr. and Pentagon Jr. missed the first set of Lucha Underground tapings due to visa issues. They will be appearing after the third episode airs next week. It will be interesting to see what style is emphasized in January when even more Mexican luchadores start to come in for the tapings, many of whom are not familiar with the more mat-based style. A source close to Chavo believes that he can quickly teach the luchadores to become acclimated to a more Americanized style.

There may have been sound issues at today's WWE live event in Dublin, Ireland, at least during the main event, as John Cena could be heard calling his moves by fans as far back at the second-to-last row of floor seats. Cena defeated Kane and Bray Wyatt in a handicap match, with the help of Dolph Ziggler.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that there were 11,000 tickets out for purchase and 4,000 tickets unsold for the WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view as of this week. WWE is selling family packs of four tickets for the price of three, which is rare for a pay-per-view.

My issue with it is more of how WWE paints themselves as a victim. I know they talk up how they were going to go out of business and yadda yadda. Though I question the validity of that mindset considering they still sold out arenas and still put on a plethora of ppv events. I'm sure they may have lost money and had trouble keeping their best stars, but I feel like they're a bit over dramatic. Maybe I'm being ignorant. It's a possibility.

Also, I still don't get why the WWE is so gung ho intent on pushing Reigns. What is it they see that both this board and seemingly the universe don't? Was he that over when he got hurt? Feel like they're missing the big sailing yacht of popularity in Dean Ambrose that's floating right by them.

The whole "playing the victim" thing has always annoyed me, especially when it came to WCW buying up their talent/trying to put them "out of business". Completely ignoring the fact that Vince cherry picked talent from the territories before eventually running them out of business.

I'm reading "reports" that the crowd at the house show in Leeds tonight were being dicks and heckling various wrestlers for apparently no reason.

I've read that they chanted "you can't wrestle" to Justin Gabriel and also to Goldust. They also gave Sami Zayn the old "Who are ya!?" treatment too.

I don't know if these are "legit" or if he's just playing into being a heel, even though I don't actually know if he's a heel or not these days, but after the event, Gabriel went on Twitter and said:

Supposedly its because they see several Cena-like comparisons to the point they can completely mold his career like they did with Cena. Like Cena, less worry about him leaving for better things like films or indies claiming any part of his popularity unlike with Ambrose and Rollins.

Already dead set on having another Cena type era with just 1 mega star and probably something that won't change even with another WWE Universe rebellion.

Watching SuperBrawl '98 and I'm always amazed by how underrated of "ring generals" Booker T and Perry Saturn were. In the opener, Rick Martel was supposed to beat Booker to set up a match with Saturn immediately after that he would also win. But during the match Martel tore his MCL and they had to improvise a finish that had Booker win the match and the TV Title. Then, he and Saturn had to improvise an entire match that was never even supposed to happen, and it was good. Not blow-you-away good, but damn impressive considering they didn't even know they were going to have a match five minutes before it started.

So I got asked to take a WWE survey today as I live in the UK, and it's pretty much the same survey that was being "talked about" a few days ago when people saw that TNA was mentioned.

I have screencaps but they're huge, so they'll be in spoiler tags along with the rest of my post.

TNA was mentioned in the UK survey too, but also, some reason, they also asked if I was interested in Cirque de Soleil.

http://oi61.tinypic.com/357rjeo.jpg

I was then asked who my favourite guys on the roster were, and I noticed that Christian wasn't included on the list, along with Paul Heyman, William Regal and Zeb Colter, but then again, all those guys apart from Christian are managers/GM's, so maybe they don't qualify as a "WWE Superstar" for some reason?

As for Christian, as far as I know, he's still technically a "WWE Superstar", he just hasn't had a match in forever.

http://oi60.tinypic.com/167vz3r.jpg

Next, I was asked about the Legends. I was quite surprised that they're labelling Chyna, CM Punk, Jeff Hardy, Kelly Kelly and Stacy Keibler as Legends. At least at this point in time. I'm pretty sure we'll eventually see the first three names make in into the Hall of Fame, and maybe Keibler too.

My biggest surprise was Kelly Kelly being listed as a Legend. Also, I added Billy Gunn to the "Other" section, as Road Dogg was listed, but Gunn wasn't for some reason. I also added The British Bulldog and Steve Blackman.

I'm more surprised he wasn't a former tag champion already.

Was that Marufuji?

Don't know anything about Noah or All Japan anymore. NJPW is the only one I've followed the last 5 years.

I've tried watching more New Japan recently. Hiroshi Tanahashi is apparently their "John Cena," but he wrestles like freakin' Shawn Michaels. Unbelievable talent. What I saw from Kazuchika Okada was brilliant too. These two men having another match with JR calling it? Yes, please.

I would love the JR/Matt Striker commentary team. I think Striker would be able to keep JR on-point and "present" at the booth, if that makes sense, and I think Striker's character (either on purpose or in real life) could annoy JR just enough to give them an enjoyable face/heel announcer dynamic.

I'm really excited for Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Kota Ibushi too, for whatever reason. Nakamura is the man, but I haven't seen much from Ibushi. Something about it seems really fresh by Japanese standards though.

Actually, they should just sign Raven to do the color commentary.

Last night at his one-man show after the Raw taping, William Regal was asked about why he wasn't wrestling on the tour, and he revealed that he got a three level cervical fusion surgery a few months ago. It's notable that he got the three level fusion surgery, because in the past, when active wrestlers got their necks fused, they opted to fuse less than three levels together because three level fusion is a career-ender. If he's retired, and it sure sounds like he is, then he went out in style with his NXT match against Cesaro that was taped a little over a year ago and aired on the year-end show that premiered Christmas Day. Looking back, the match was worked and presented felt like a farewell, so it seems like he might have known it was the end.

William Regal is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. And that's coming from someone who doesn't buy into the "technical wrestling skill is everything" stuff. As a complete package, I'd put him as one of my all time favorites.

He's legitimately in my top three.

That would be amazing. Kidd squeaking out wins via Could Out, DQ, and other nefarious means and pushing it as a Goldberg-style winning streak would be awesome.

I hope they do a serious Regal retrospective, with some of his best matches. He had some damn fine matches with people who had completely different styles. And he saved some of his best work for the end of his career, with Cesaro and Ohno.

I'm pretty giddy about this New Day thing they have going with Woods and Kofi (and Big E, presumably). Yes there's a somewhat racist undertone to it but it's something for the midcard to work with.

I still feel like Heath Slater should have a match with Sheamus, eat a Brogue Kick that hits him so hard, he wakes up thinking he's JBL's nephew.

Regarding TNA's future with a TV deal and live events, there has been little to no communication between TNA officials and the rest of the employees. There are a lot of wrestlers very worried and "freaking out" right now.

With WGN America supposedly out of the race now, its likely down to just Spike TV (at a much lower rate) or no tv deal at all.

I'm watching the TNA One Night Only Knockout Knockdown show (filmed in May, show last week).

There's a bunch of unknown indie girls taking on the regular Knockouts. They keep showing little vignettes to introduce us to the compeitors, only they're featured on the regular Knockouts - the ones you're already familiar with if you watch TNA.

Additionally, having looked at the results, one the few indie girls to get wins over the Knockouts, Havok wasn't one of them. They've since hired her and presented her as an unstoppable force in the division...before airing this show.

Why do they tape them so far in advance!?

The usual money issues that's plagued TNA ever since the Hogan era. Was a lot cheaper for them to travel 2-3 times and tape a bunch of episodes in a row than their usual weekly routine.

Everyone in that promotion is the champion. Stacked roster.

Excellent photoshopping on the face/off gimmick too. Almost didn't notice it was two different guys!
