Hmm, Brock doesn't need Money in the Bank. Have Kofi do some cool stuff, raise his star, but he doesn't need to win.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I read a columnist's idea that after King of the Ring and Elimination Chamber returning, the next "live special" they come up with is "WWE Iron Man" or something, where two guys are forced into an Iron Man Match. It'd actually really fit the Rollins vs. Ambrose feud. You could also put New Day and Kidd/Cesaro into a 30-minute Tag Team Iron Man Match.

[Mr. Nerfect]

And the truth is that Cesaro would make an absolutely tremendous little throwaway opponent for Brock Lesnar.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Had this really weird feeling that Carlito might be close to re-signing with the WWE. Maybe not for a full-time thing, but to do some work here and there, boost live shows and maybe work with some youngings down in NXT or something. I dunno. He seems to have a tumultuous relationship with the WWE, but I can see him getting another shot, weirdly enough.

Also, the WWE should call Matt Morgan and beg him to come in and serve as some new heel muscle for Seth Rollins. That dude should have been a star.

That match definitely needs to happen. I feel like Cesaro is developing into enough of a "character" from the tag team with Kidd that he will hopefully get a singles push later this year. It would be a great opportunity for him to really showcase his "freakish strength" commentators keep clamoring about.

I mean..... why even pay for it at this point??

Really tempted to just create a new account every other month :|

Used to do "free internet" during 56k days and netzero every week.

I believe you have to pay $10.00 upfront though. Basically your $10.00 gets you June and July.

From the signup page:

Plan includes:

June Free, Including Money in the Bank
You will be billed $9.99 per month starting July 1, 2015
No commitment, cancel anytime

[loopydate]

If I canceled my account yesterday, is it still free for me if I sign up again today?

Either way. I generally only tune in for NXT and the PPV. I can easily watch NXT online and PPV's for that matter.

Just kinda like "WTF, I pay every month" but seriously considering getting rid of it.

Don't know why people talk about cancelling and resigning with the network, or complain about the free months. 10 dollars is money you can throw away on a snack and it got you two great PPVs this month.

It would be a great opportunity for him to really showcase his "freakish strength" commentators keep clamoring about.

I have an odd fear that the Cesaro/Kidd pairing is about to end. I could very easily see the company shifting focus to The Prime Time Players as the primary face team until The Usos get back. And then there are the Lucha Dragons in the wings. Then you've got The Ascension and Harper & Rowan as bruisers in the wings. It wouldn't surprise me to see Cesaro qualify for Money in the Bank.

Spoilers regarding a certain big indy name that may or may not be a free agent at the moment:

A trusted insider tells PWTorch columnist Sean Radican that Samoa Joe has signed a full-time contract with WWE. His merchandise sales were so off-the-charts impressive, Vince McMahon and Triple H pushed to get him signed to a full-time deal right away.

Obviously, he impressed everyone at the latest NXT TV tapings, also. He will fulfill his scheduled indy dates, but otherwise will be worked into the WWE schedule full-time, either starting in NXT or shifting quickly to the WWE main roster. Check back for more details.

This would also seem to explain pictures from the Superstars taping tonight, which may or may not be a secret dark match:

As noted, Samoa Joe defeated Tyson Kidd in a match that took place before Monday's WWE RAW in San Antonio. Multiple fans in attendance noted that Kidd may have suffered a neck or collarbone injury towards the end of the match. After the match, Natalya reportedly rushed to the back while Cesaro came into the ring to check on Kidd. The referee then threw up the dreaded "X" sign to call help out. Kidd was seen holding his neck area and looking visibly upset on his way to the back. It's possible Kidd was just selling Joe's Musclebuster but we will keep you updated.

We noted before that Samoa Joe has now signed a full-time deal with WWE but will still be fulfilling his indie dates that were booked. Ring of Honor has confirmed that Joe will still be working their June 20th TV tapings in New York City, in what appears to be Joe's final ROH appearance. Absolute Intense Wrestling in Cleveland has added Joe to their July 10th show, which was announced last night. Joe is currently booked for the big WWE NXT live events in Pittsburgh, PA and Columbus, OH this month. For those wondering, PWInsider reports that Joe is not currently booked for tonight's WWE SmackDown tapings so unless things change, he won't be the Superstar to answer NXT Champion Kevin Owens' open challenge.

Besides the success of Joe's t-shirt sales and his NXT performances, the fact that his appearances for Ring of Honor will now air on national cable TV also played into the decision to sign him to a full-time deal.

Joe's current NXT deal reportedly has a clause that would let WWE sign him to a full-time deal. WWE chose to execute that clause this past Thursday after ROH announced their deal with Destination America. Both Joe and WWE signed an addendum to the original deal, now making him a full-time WWE worker.

There's been no word yet if TNA will have a Hall of Fame induction ceremony at Slammiversary this year but they wanted former World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles to come in and accept an induction. TNA reportedly pitched the idea to AJ one or two months ago but he turned them down. TNA offered Styles a great deal to come in, do the Hall of Fame, likely wrestle one match on Slammiversary and that that would be it. AJ, the current IWGP Heavyweight Champion, turned the deal down because his priorities right now are Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling.

There was another TNA conference call with talent yesterday, described to me as a brainstorming session for ways the company can better connect with the audience and raise their profile. Social media was brought up most prominently I was told. That's a hard question to answer as there's going to be a segment of fans who have written TNA off and won't give them a chance and it will take years of a good product to get those fans to change their minds. It can be done but it's going to be quite the undertaking.

I feel like he needs to hold onto the title for a bit. Definitely needs to lose it to someone on an NXT event. Not really sure who is ready for the NXT title right now besides Sami Zayn of course, but ofc he is out for now.

I can't imagine he would lose it on anything but an NXT event. With four weeks taped ahead of time, they don't have much opportunity for him to lose it on the main roster without fucking all of that up.

[#1-norm-fan]

I assumed he'd be losing it to Samoa Joe but it doesn't look like Joe is gonna be staying in NXT for too long.

They're also in a tough spot where they've made him look upstoppable and put him over Cena cleanly... so even having his first loss being through interference to an NXT guy would be kinda odd. But there's really no other choice.

... Cena should win it from him just for the IWCLOLs.

[Lock Jaw]

I mean, if they choose to acknowledge continuity, which is highly unlikely, WWE Paige had to vacate her NXT title when she moved up to the main roster.

Regal needs to just strip him of the title. No way should he lose it to anyone on NXT, and losing to a main roster guy would be even more stupid.

I think they made it clear that she was stripped because she won the WWE Divas title though. At least that's what I always assumed. As much as Owens has hyped the NXT title as a real prize, to the point where he basically said the US Title is shit in comparison, it wouldn't make sense for him to give it up to go to the main roster now.

[Nicky Fives]

The inevitability of having to lose the title is a problem WWE needs to get around

I think he needs to flat out win the United States Championship from Cena.... the next night on Raw he can say that in WWE, you unfortunately cannot hold 2 single titles at the same time (which is a rule he does not like, but his protests to making twice the amount of money and defending both belts have not been accepted by the Board Of Directors) and since the US Title is worth more, he's "retiring' as NXT Champion and remaining on the main roster to defend it.....

That would clash with him rejecting the US open challenge originally and then stomping on the US Title in favor of the NXT Title though.

I think Owens could lose the NXT Title. It's sort of the right thing to do to leave NXT in safe hands, you know? Finn Balor is the #1 Contender, and it would actually make sense for him to bring out The Daemon to challenge Owens this time and succeed, in a triumphant face moment. Owens is never seen in NXT again. It's just a little nugget for those who follow NXT that their guy beat the guy that is now beating Cena.

The news of an Owen Hart WWE DVD broke last month, along with the revelation that the documentary will be produced without any support from Martha Hart, widow of Owen.

Bret Hart was a guest on the latest episode of “The Ross Report”, Jim Ross’ podcast, and among discussion of other topics Bret confirmed the WWE DVD being in the works.

Both he and JR shared that WWE has not yet interviewed either of them for the documentary, however Bret suggested that other family members were about to be interviewed.

It was reiterated again that Martha Hart are her children are in no way attached to the project and are not happy about it, while most others in the family are supportive. Bret believes Martha to be on the “wrong track” with her approach to the situation and has the opinion that she wishes to “erase everything he did in wrestling” in a “childish” and “selfish” manner.

Responding to Martha’s recent public statement to WrestlingDVDNews.com, in which she implored WWE to “just let [Owen] rest in peace”, Bret said that there’s a lot of people that miss him and would love to remember him fondly with a DVD and the stories it could tell.

“I think it’s important to remember what Owen accomplished in wrestling and I disagree with her position about Owen. There are so many happy memories tied in with Owen and I wish his kids could hear the stories”, he stated on the podcast.

Paul Heyman is currently scheduled to return to WWE TV as a regular character in about 2-3 weeks, after the Money In the Bank pay-per-view. This is likely setting up the advertised return for Brock Lesnar.

We noted before that Samoa Joe has been added to this month's WWE NXT live events in Columbus, Ohio and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. WWE also has Ric Flair booked for those shows but we don't know what he will be doing.

TNA officials are hoping that Jeff Hardy will return from a broken leg in August. We noted in early May that there was talk of Hardy being back in the ring in two months but nobody wanted to rush the return.

As Dave Scherer noted earlier this morning, Tyrus (the former Brodus Clay) was pulled from the forthcoming Global Force Wrestling events later this month after having been advertised for several weeks after being informed by TNA he was not allowed to do the dates. GFW is operated by TNA minority owner Jeff Jarrett, who publicly split from the company several years back. Obviously, there is some bad blood remaining there. According to a TNA source, Tyrus could not make the dates as TNA contracts prevent their talents from working for companies with TV deals. The mindset within TNA is that since GFW announced they would be taping TV, that put the promotion out of bounds when it came to using TNA talent. Ring of Honor is in a similar situation with Moose but is allowing him to work the GFW house shows, but not the TV tapings. Tyrus, who was being billed by GFW under his real name George T. Murdoch, was not scheduled for the GFW TV tapings.

"It started out as just a little character, then it kind of evolved from that. Then I'm like 'If I'm not going to be this Dare Wolf character, let me make this Bunny really f-cking cool. Me and Adam Rose sat down and wrote out stories to make this bunny and evil bunny, because he wanted to be a heel so bad. We wanted to do like the Donnie Darko thing. We had an awesome mask made by the people who do The Walking Dead makeup, the same people who make Kane's masks. We had things filmed, and all of these ideas to turn this bunny into an evil, sadistic character. Adam Rose was going to be like a Marilyn Manson character. Everything got shot down. Each time I'd come up with something or Adam would come up with something, it'd get shot down. An idea that I thought was great and everyone thought as It's more frustration, it gets disheartening. It makes you lose passion for what you're doing."

"They were just doing it week-to-week. I think they wanted it to end up being someone who was returning. Someone like Kurt Angle or Jeff Hardy, somebody cool like that. Anyone else on the roster, it wouldn't have been cool. It wouldn't have been a shock. I came up with an idea for the bunny to become really hardcore, he has dried blood all over him, sitting backstage grumpy smoking cigars. It's like when people hit their all-time low. The bunny should be going through ladders, tables, and coming close to winning championships, but doesn't because he's too f-cked up. Then maybe the bunny gets knocked out backstage, and a ref shows up and it's Vince. That's the only shock factor it could be, if it's someone on the roster. Then Vince wakes up and just goes 'I don't know what happened. I put the suit on and I just blacked out.' Everyone loved the idea, it just never came to fruition."

If WWE really is going to air the 4th of July show from Japan live on the network then I'm going with my half joking idea of Kofi winning MITB only to lose it to Brock in Japan. There's like no other reason for them to wrestle in Japan.

Mask sort of resembles a certain TPWW Smackdown star's mask. Maybe Ryder got the wrong package or he's about to become Owen Ryder.

I vaguely remember that. I don't remember people losing their shit over it though. Seems like that would have happened.
Imagine it nowadays; the social media backlash would be immense.

I think Owens could lose the NXT Title. It's sort of the right thing to do to leave NXT in safe hands, you know? Finn Balor is the #1 Contender, and it would actually make sense for him to bring out The Daemon to challenge Owens this time and succeed, in a triumphant face moment. Owens is never seen in NXT again. It's just a little nugget for those who follow NXT that their guy beat the guy that is now beating Cena.
It'd be pretty cool if Balor won it in Japan, especially now it's airing.

A lot of WWE DVD's featuring older wrestlers are Kayfabed

Just watched "True Giants". The wrestlers interviewed kayfabed the entire time.

Arn Anderson is notorious for kayfabing on WWE docs.

He acted like everything they did in the 4 Horsemen was a shoot on the Ric Flair and the 4 Horsemen documentary dvd.

A correction from last week: While it was the case that WWE wouldn't touch anyone from TNA, we're told that WWE is looking to find out what dates a few of the good workers in TNA's contracts expire because they are interested in TNA guys, but right now only for NXT. I think it's pretty clear that NXT is lacking good wrestler depth and they are selling it on both a few personalities like Enzo & Cass, and the women, but the key is the great workers and right now there are only a few of them.

One person noted how scary it is when you look at how long so many have been around and how limited they still are. The fans themselves at the Florida house shows are very different than the Northeast, as they fully accept weak matches and have a good time no matter what, so it's a far better environment to work and build confidence, but it's also the difference between performing in front of 200 to 500 people and 2,000 people. They are doing far more with the television show in post-production.

Add Johnny Gargano, Northeast Wrestling's Jimmy Preston and former TNA woman wrestler Taelor Hendrix to the list of people being brought in at the next camp which is next week. WWE is looking at adding more workers because they realize the NXT brand doesn't have the depth needed, particularly with the decision to pull Owens at the same time Itami and Zayn are injured. The negative is the guys NXT is supposed to be for, the guys actually trained from scratch, are falling farther and farther behind and are not progressing anywhere near as fast as they should.

In addition to Matthew Riddle and Biff Busick, indy wrestlers Drew Gulak and Chuck Taylor are also going to take part in the WWE tryout camp at the Performance Center in Orlando next month.

PWInsider notes that TNA Knockout Havok is at the WWE tryouts in Orlando this week, indicating she may be done with TNA this time.

An interesting what if, given the value of hindsight. Hiroshi Tanahashi did an interview on Samurai TV on 6/2 and said that in 2007, Gedo had an offer from WWE. He said that they wanted him to play a stereotypical sneaky Japanese character from the 70s so he decided to stay with New Japan, where his booking turned the company around

After recently having shoulder surgery, Sami Zayn is expected out of action until October. WWE has another NXT Takeover special tentatively scheduled for October 7th and more TV tapings on October 8th so Zayn could possibly return then.

As noted, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman are being brought back to WWE TV after Money In the Bank to build to a match at the July 19th Battleground pay-per-view. The original plan was to do Lesnar vs. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins at SummerSlam and that could still happen but so many creative changes have been made since that idea was first brought up.


As seen on this week's WWE NXT, Eva Marie spoke and said she wants in on the NXT Divas competition. She and Bayley have been teasing a match on Twitter so it appears that may be her first opponent since returning to the ring after training with Brian Kendrick.

ShowBuzzDaily.com reported in their Top 100 cable shows listing for Wednesday night that the initial 9:00 p.m. ET broadcast of Impact Wrestling was seen by 297,000 viewers. That's down 28% from 413,000 viewers for the final Friday night broadcast last week.

Ring of Honor on Destination America was not on the list, which is sorted by rating (percentage of homes with the channel watching the show when it comes to cable ratings). The rating used was for the adults 18-49 demographic, and which means ROH did less than a 0.07 (lowest rating on the top 100 list) in the demo to TNA's 0.09.
In terms of numbers overall, numbers are a decent start for ROH considering they only providing past episodes will be shown for now while TNA didn't benefit at all with ROH as the lead in. In terms of live episodes, ROH does around 500,000 viewers on average while NESN hasn't been factored in yet. TNA's numbers get better if the replay done for the West Coast gets added in but still down compared to last week.

Ryback's first opponent out of the gate should have been Mark Henry. They can play off the Chamber, their WrestleMania history, and Ryback could beat Henry and claim to have defeated the strongest. Then he could move on to Big Show at the Japan show or Battleground. He can beat the biggest. Then he has to beat the best Intercontinental Champion of all-time...BABY!

[Vastardikai]

It's a shame J.R. Evans isn't in the list. He was awesome in that one segment he had with Ryback.

[Shadrick]

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE watching me some of THE BIG GUY, but I don't understand why people still are impressed by wrestlers 275-300+ pounds hitting their finishers. Fucks sake, Brock F-5'd Show at Survivor Series in a losing effort to keep the WWE Championship, and that was impressive because (IIRC), it was the first time anyone near his size had pulled off something like that, but now it's just sorta like, "oh yay, that's nice, zzzzz..." when that happens.

every finisher is different.

goldberg jackhammering the Giant wasn't impressive to me because it was all about balance. 500 pounds straight up in the air when he's jumping with you isn't the same as putting a guy on your shoulders like that. Mind you, big show did jump with him for that Shellshock, but I mean one where he picks Big Show up and marches around the ring per usual. Thats impressive.

Even if you've seen it before though, it doesn't make it less impressive. I saw Hogan slam Andre, it was still impressive when Cesaro did it to Big Show.

I always liked Cesaro's Caterline Lift into the Stalling Salto. It's one of those things that doesn't look impressive per-se. However, 80% of the spot is just him dead lifting a guy with no help and carrying him around like a sack of potatoes. And he can do it on larger opponents.

WWE lawyers recently tried to move Cassandra Frazier’s wrongful death lawsuit to Connecticut. Frazier is the widow of Nelson Frazier Jr., who worked as Viscera and Big Daddy V. Lawyers noted that Frazier died from a heart attack with contributing causes being morbid obesity and diabetes on his death certificate and he had alcohol and drugs in his system.
Benefits the WWE a lot more to get the case moved to a friendlier place while also making Viscera's widow legal case become even more expensive for her to maintain.

We noted before that WWE will be releasing "The Kliq Rules" DVD and Blu-ray on Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash and Sean Waltman on July 28th. The set was originally planned to include a reunion show that would first air on the WWE Network. That special has been canceled, according to WrestlingDVDNews.com, but the DVD is still going forward. It will include a documentary feature with a compilation of matches & segments but no reunion show.

Mani Mohtadi, who was the person that filmed the infamous Curtain Call incident at Madison Square Garden in 1996, revealed on Twitter that WWE interviewed him for the documentary portion of the set.

On ROH's deal with Destination America: "It actually began sometime late last year, I can't remember if it was November or December... it was right around the time that Spike decided not to carry Impact Wrestling anymore, and they ended up moving over to Destination America, and around that time, once that was announced, because we're [Sinclair Broadcasting] a broadcasting company, and we're in the television business, we have a lot of contacts at other broadcasting companies, and one of my colleagues high in the organization made a contact over at Discovery, which owns Destination America, which turned into a lunch with the Destination America people, from there we conversed about the possibility of making Destination America the destination for wrestling in America. That's really how it all started."
From a recent interview the COO of Ring of Honor had with website Against the Mat. http://prowrestling.net/article.php?ROH-COO-Joe-Koff-on-pro-wrestling-s-reputation-with-advertisers-the-deal-with-Destination-America-and-how-it-was-kept-under-wraps-42558

About two weeks before we were flown to Florida for the FCW taping, I get a call from the executive producer. He goes “Who’s Donnie Drake? What’s this Donnie Drake stuff?”

After college, I worked for two companies that market what they call ‘custom videos to a homosexual audience.’ I’m fully-clothed in normal wrestling gear, there’s no sex acts, no nudity, (just suggestive holds, nothing that you couldn’t see on Monday Night RAW). They wanted attractive guys with muscles and they market it to a homosexual audience. I put it on my background check … it wasn’t a secret. I never compromised my morals or values.

You know when you’re a babyface selling? You’re crawling up the heel, using his kneepads and tights to pull yourself up. Someone made a crude photoshop picture that got passed around… (on the internet it got distorted to ‘Luke did gay porn’).

(A buddy of Luke’s) was trying out in FCW, he was down there when John Laurinaitis was down there. (A couple of weeks after the Tough Enough finale, people were asking) “What happened to that Luke Robinson kid from Tough Enough?”

My buddy called me and said the direct quote from John Laurinaitis was “We don’t need any of that homo shit here…”

That was four years ago, and obviously you have Darren Young now. Now they use some of this PR stuff in a positive light to paint the picture that they’re a very philanthropic company. Stephanie McMahon’s admitted in an interview with Forbes that ‘the future of marketing is philanthropy’. I’m not saying it’s not wonderful that they promote the anti-bullying and Make A Wish, but the fact is there’s a lot of bullying and bad things that go on behind the stage.
From a recent interview by Tough Enough Season 5 runner Luke Robinson had with PWF Empire Live. Other topics in the interview included the Bellas being horrible to work with, WWE being hypocrites when it comes to certain issues, and having no desire to ever resume a possible wrestling career because of bad experience with the WWE. http://pwfempire.com/2015/06/full-luke-robinson-interview-tough-enough-tell-all/

Someone that couldn't get far in the company is talking shit SHOCKING!

[Poit]

I wonder if Owens drops the NXT Title on SmackDown due to John Cena getting involved just to segue him to the main roster full-time, or if this is going to be Kevin Owens dominance?

I think he needs to flat out win the United States Championship from Cena.... the next night on Raw he can say that in WWE, you unfortunately cannot hold 2 single titles at the same time (which is a rule he does not like, but his protests to making twice the amount of money and defending both belts have not been accepted by the Board Of Directors) and since the US Title is worth more, he's "retiring' as NXT Champion and remaining on the main roster to defend it.....

Cena is clearly "above" the NXT Championship. Owens clearly believes he is above the US Championship.

For their rematch, neither man wants the other's title, but they both want to cost the other something. So, the loser should be forced to vacate his championship.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I think that's too clever for WWE writer's to come up with but who knows. Don't think Owens loses the NXT title until Japan anyways.

In an unrelated note, I want them to do a backstage bit where someone like Bo Dallas or somebody goes to the patent office to try to make their maneuver "patented".

[Lock Jaw]

Or he goes to the patent office and patents someone else's maneuver. Like Adrian Neville doesn't have the patent for the Red Arrow, so Bo goes and gets it. Then even though he can't use the maneuver himself, he threatens legal action against Neville for using a move that he holds the patent on.


Would be a hot angle.

[#1-norm-fan]

And then Neville gets his revenge...

Dallas is in the ring and tells Neville he can find other ways to wins his matches. He just has to Bo-lieve! Neville responds by threatening legal action of his own... as he now owns the trademark for the "Bo-lieve" catchphrase leaving Bo an awkward mess every time he tries to finish his promos.

[Nicky Fives]

I've always thought a "move thief" heel would be a great storyline to start them off and essentially writes itself....They can have their own finisher and they hit it every match, but then elect to get the win by hitting the finisher of their opponent, just to "add insult to injury"....first feud could simply be a face claiming "you'll never hit me with my own move"....

[Droford]

In an unrelated note, I want them to do a backstage bit where someone like Bo Dallas or somebody goes to the patent office to try to make their maneuver "patented".

That was something Rollins should have done after he banned the RKO and then used it on Orton himself. Next night on RAW he should have produced a slip of paper saying he got the patent on it so Orton can't use it.

[Lock Jaw]

I want the absurd backstage skit with them physically AT the patent office trying to explain how they want to patent a rassling move, though.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The more I think about it, the more I just want them to run Seth Rollins vs. Brock Lesnar in Japan. I also hope that they turn Roman Reigns heel at Money in the Bank and feud him against Ambrose, but I know that's not going to happen.

[Mr. Pierre]

I can see Reigns winning MITB as the first step in creating a Shield triple threat for Mania. Ambrose wins the Rumble, Reigns does the stand-up thing and announces his plans to join.

[Mr. Nerfect]

That's how I can see them taking things. I'd rather have Reigns use his briefcase at SummerSlam and join Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar in the main event there.

Out of all the people in the current batch of NXT tryouts, pretty safe to assume Jessicka Havok isn't going to get a deal.

Supposedly the WWE or someone else did a social media check on her and found a lot of racist and offensive tweets. They were all from years ago but for some odd reason she never bothered to get rid of them. Also ranged from shitty racist jokes to really horrible stuff (ex. Briscoe Bros level stuff that killed all interest the WWE had with them).

Apparently the company and everyone at the tryouts found out about the offensive tweets while Havok was in the ring.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CG05Pn-UIAAyOsd.jpg

[Mr. Nerfect]

That sucks for her, but she should take responsibility for those.

[Emperor Smeat]

She sort of did then backtracked on the apology part.

As we mentioned yesterday, former TNA Knockout Havok had been at the center of controversy surrounding tweets from years ago that featured racist and homophobic remarks.

Havoc apologized for the comments, but later deleted the apology. She's been at the Performance Center in Orlando for a WWE tryout this week. She also deleted the offensive tweets in question.

According to Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Radio, Havoc had been impressing those who were conducting the tryouts in Orlando. Many were comparing her to the likes of Awesome Kong/Kharma, and were very optimistic about her future.

Apparently the company and everyone at the tryouts found out about the offensive tweets while she was in the ring. Dave Meltzer noted that the situation did her no favors, and Alvarez described it as the "roof caving in." The hosts then encouraged up-and-coming wrestlers to not say stupid things on Twitter.

The 28-year old Havok spent a few months with TNA before finishing up with the company in February.

Briscoe Bros were in a very similar situation where the WWE was really interested in signing them but unlike with Havok, the homophobic tweets were done right as the WWE was preparing for their upcoming tryout and/or meeting. Don't think they ever apologized for it though.

<font color=goldenrod>The closest angle I can remember to that was when Stevie Ray had J Biggs (Clarence Mason) as his lawyer suing Booker T. Somehow the end result was Booker T becoming just "Booker", no longer being allowed to use the Harlem Heat theme, and having to change his finishing moves.

Wow. So obviously natural!

In fact, they could carrot in "pants", and sell a shit ton of more shirts.

End up not being able to have Cass sing The Price Is Right theme? Have her come out to bWo music!

[Tom Guycott]

Or he goes to the patent office and patents someone else's maneuver. Like Adrian Neville doesn't have the patent for the Red Arrow, so Bo goes and gets it. Then even though he can't use the maneuver himself, he threatens legal action against Neville for using a move that he holds the patent on.


Would be a hot angle.

Booker vs Harlem Heat(tm)

[Tom Guycott]

<font color=goldenrod>The closest angle I can remember to that was when Stevie Ray had J Biggs (Clarence Mason) as his lawyer suing Booker T. Somehow the end result was Booker T becoming just "Booker", no longer being allowed to use the Harlem Heat theme, and having to change his finishing moves.

Hard to believe he won the World Title just a few months later.</font>

Didn't notice you mentioned it already. My bad. Was catching up in order.

But he also "lost the right" to wear flames on his attire, so he wore generic black trunks, and his theme was also property of Harlem Heat (tm), so they replaced it with the Leave It To Beaver theme.

Monk could get lured into a match by reviving the good housekeeping match gimmick although he'd never be able to get in the ring cause he'd be too afraid to touch the ropes.

I was wondering if the WWE are building up the Intercontinental and United States Championships since Brock Lesnar might return and hold the WWE World Heavyweight Championship until Mania...

Isn't it high time that they started referring to the title as the WWE Championship again? Calling it the WWE World Heavyweight Championship is a mouthful.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

No, WWE sucks as a name. Anything to distract from it is good.

WWF had Mike Shaw in briefly as Friar Ferguson.

“Normally the less said about Hulk Hogan the better, but he spoke my name first. The Tampa Bay organization should be embarrassed for hitching their trailer to such a piece of garbage that pronounced the captain’s name wrong, and then called coach John Cooper, John Connor! Ladies and gentlemen, we’re in Chicago and we’re real hockey fans and we want the cup! Tampa Bay’s going down!”

Bubba Ray Dudley has been involved in a Twitter interaction. He and D-Von want to show Harper & Rowan the proper way to do a 3D. Harper & Rowan want to show The Dudleys "The Way." Bubba says that he hopes the suits Harper & Rowan are trying to appease will allow it. Fuck it, let them fight at Battleground.

Sheer brilliance.

I think Cornette's issue with Owens and Generico were issues that, when addressed, would have made them bigger deals in both ROH and the business in general. Because both have ended up doing what Corny addressed.

But Corny was wrong.

[Dark One]

One last time:

Vote for Dark One and Droford (.GIFford) in Tag Team Turmoil so we can crush The Authority. You have like an hour and a half left.

I will positive rep you forever. Or at least until the forum tells me otherwise.

All I can think of with calling it "THE WAY" is that fastball song with the lyric "where were they going without ever knowing the way "

According to Dave Meltzer on the most recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Mickie James was written out of TNA storylines because she has a series of booked dates that conflict with the next set of TNA tapings this month.

TNA ran an angle with James Storm and Mickie that saw Storm shove her on some train tracks after revealing his motive for their relationship, and Mickie’s rejection. Mickie is advertised for Miami SuperCon on June 25-28, and the TNA TV tapings are June 24-28 in Orlando. Mickie herself has noted in the past she was back for a short run only, and it’s still possible she could appear since the locations are about four hours apart, but Meltzer noted she may not return for awhile, or at all.

Rey Mysterio's next appearance in the U.S. will be on 8/22. Mysterio will be working the Pro Wrestling Syndicate event in Sayreville, New Jersey. Mysterio will team with Habib from The Car Wash

As seen last night on RAW, Erick Rowan and Luke Harper are now using the 3D as their finisher full time, which did not sit well with Bully Ray and Devon on Twitter. Rowan and Harper are now calling the move The Way.

Hulk Hogan's daughter says she couldn't stand The Undertaker while she was growing up ... claiming she was in constant fear that the wrestling legend was gunning to steal her underwear.

Brooke explained her panty paranoia at the The Pool After Dark at Harrah’s in Atlantic City ... saying that she thought he got his name "Undertaker" because he would "take underwear."

Hogan says she was later convinced the guy was NOT a panty pilferer.

This week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw did an average viewing audience of 3,644,667 viewers on the USA Network. That is down an average of (-329,000 viewers) from the week prior.

Below is how the show did each hour:

Hour one – 3,678,000 viewers
Hour two – 3,609,000 viewers
Hour three – 3,647,000 viewers
On one hand, no bad hourly drops and sports games likely the usual culprits but on the other hand, going to the 2 week model hasn't really improved ratings nor viewership.

"...I didn't know what Paul E was going to ask and he started talking about Brock Lesnar and Wrestlemania 32 in Dallas and of course boy I bit hook, line, and sinker Stone Cold mode. Started cutting a half ass promo, wasn't trying to, and ended up talking about me whipping Brock's ass because as Stone Cold Steve Austin that's the only way I can see that match going down. But here's the thing, what I did was kinda raise the hopes of people or half way kinda half assed booked myself into a match which was not my intention. So at Wrestlemania 32 I don't believe you are going to be seeing Brock Lesnar and Stone Cold Steve Austin in the same ring. It wasn't my intention to spin a match or sell a match, so I just wanted to make that clear for everybody... Brock Lesnar will continue down the road he's going down, I'm going to continue going down the road I'm going on which is doing podcasts..."
Stone Cold on if a match with Lesnar will actually happen at Mania 32 from a recent podcast episode. http://www.PodcastOne.com/pg/jsp/program/episode.jsp?programID=542&pid=513148 (around the 7 min. mark)

Some other sheet news:

In a "WWE Did You Know" type fact, Cena's clean loss list gets expanded to 12 guys (Justin Gabriel and Roman Reigns) if multi-man matches are counted since Cena's 1st WWE title win. (Courtsey NeoGAF)
2K Games confirmed WWE 2k16 will be shown during next week's E3 event.
For those interested, Alexis Bliss recently had an interview with 614Columbus website with some of the topics including Trish Startus and Rey Mysterio as big inspirations for her career. http://614columbus.com/2015/06/house-of-bliss/

Did James Storm really push Mickie James onto some train tracks? What? Was it implied that he murdered her?

[Droford]

She fell and hit her head. TNA said what he did was borderline criminal

[Dark One]

Mysterio will team with Habib from The Car Wash

Just wanted to emphasize that statement.

[#1-norm-fan]

I think Cornette's issue with Owens and Generico were issues that, when addressed, would have made them bigger deals in both ROH and the business in general. Because both have ended up doing what Corny addressed.

Exactly. Cornette haters wants really bad to "LOL YOU WERE WRONG" him but... all he said Generico needed to lose the mask and the gimmick if he wanted to go anywhere. Which is exactly what he did. He said Steen wasn't gonna make it because he was too stubborn to listen to management. WWE management can make guys listen much more than ROH management though. Apparently Cornette didn't factor that in. Making a video with one real quote and like 20 fake ones to try to prove a point is pretty laughable though.

Also, lol @ Rey Mysterio and Habib from the Car Wash.

The one "real quote" was actually "Thank you, fuck you, bye." The other was amisquote taking way out of context. He has praised the work of both men. Only folks I have seen him trash from the ROH era "unfairly" were Cabana and Super Smash Brothers. The former is Ed Leslie 2.0 with a more palatable Hogan propping him up, the latter is a joke gimmick that would fly over most fan's heads.

The point was actually that he in fact does know more about the business and how it works than neckbeards in front of a computer.
