He had to rejoin the testing pool as of middle of July I believe. He has 6 months to serve the suspension and get tested before he can fight again.

Renee Young gonna make Coach look like a plate full of piss. Def going to be watching this one. :y:

Hopefully she replaces Byron

She probably won't be as good as JBL or Booker T but might be an upgrade to Coach.

I don't think she could possibly do any worse than the other ones.

But I know it's a blatant publicity stunt.

WOMAN POWERRRRRRRRRRR or something.

At least she's super talented. She's the best commentator they have imo. She has a great voice and buy he love of wrestling. She's also great at translating the product into a very human presentation. She makes the product feel like its a story about real people and thats something they havent had since Michael Cole took JRs job.

I dont think she is getting the spot for the right reasons but she should have had the job a long time ago on skill alone.

I enjoyed Renee on commentary way back in NXT

It does not take much to be better than JBL or Booker

JBL was excellent *shrug*

They're the best, I'd love to have just them on commentary for one night at least.

Wait maybe this means less bickering, cool. :cool:

To bad the actual product of raw is awful and I will not be watching.

not towards the end of his run. I know he started like a house of fire, but he seemed to stop caring during his second run as a commentator and was one of the worst i'd ever heard.

The timing does make it look like nothing more than cheap PR especially with the MYC but Renee does have past experience in sports commentary.

If WWE is actually serious about moving her into a more commentary role, pairing her with Cole and starting off as the 3rd person in the booth for MYC and RAW is actually a very smart idea. Booker and Coach already showed what happens when you rush someone into the booth with no experience and/or little to no help given.

Mr Brooks heading to court, yet again.

Oh shit.

Pretty scummy of Punk if Colts story is true.

It doesn't seem like Cabana would be out to screw punk.

Currently in tears from laughing soo much at the stuff on this Twitter account.

and followed

I wanted to get ROH tux..but no

Owl is fat as fuck. Debate me.

how dare you :rant:

Rumor going around the net hints both Pentagon Jr and Fenix could be heading to the WWE as early as next month.

Right now they are still locked in for All In but recently canceled bookings for MLW's next set of tv tapings in early October. Both also recenty told promoters they can't guarantee they will be able to honor any of their scheduled bookings for next year.

Wouldn't that affect Lucha Underground the most? Isn't Penta basically their version of Roman Reigns?

Yes and somewhat.

Mexico's AAA promotion already expects both guys to be pretty much done with the company after this month's Triplemanía event. Since LU is now a lot more relaxed with contracts, safe to assume both are gone after this season ends.

I think NJPW / ROH / IMPACT will all survive a roster massacre by WWE tbh

Jericho rumored for IMPACT

ZSJ/Okada/Sanada/Juice Robinson/ Hangman Paige all likely to stay w/ NJPW thru 2019

Flip signed to ROH

Will suck for Impact as well. At the moment Pentagon and other LU talent are on TV 3 times a week with different promotions. Really have no interest in them in being in WWE. Pretty sure WWE really dont even want them but are just trying to keep them away from other companies which is pretty shitty.

WWE could care less about any of them in that regard

Anyone who thinks The Young Bucks, Omega, Pentagon or Fenix will be big deals in WWE is being dense. Vince doesn't care about tag teams very much, Fenix and Pentagon will be used for 205 Live and Omega won't be given a main-event spot.

It's more about Vince owning all the toys so other promotions can't play w/ them.

WWE would be a lot better off in the long run if they actually established a minor league system like baseball does than trying to wreck the indies. They sort of have the idea with multiple NXT brands around the world but those are designed more to hurt local wrestling scenes so nobody can achieve any notable success without WWE's permission.

At some point the indies are going to hit another nasty down period and unlike previous times, its going to be a lot harder for them to recover. Last major one I think was when UFC and MMA became extremely popular.

Goddamn... that sucks for me. They had Penta and Fenix vs LA Park and someone else I was pumped for it too. But instead I'll see LA Park vs PCO which is probably going to be much more epic.

Yes, it will effect them the most.

No, he is not their Roman Reigns. That was Sexy Star and she's dead.

If Styles and Namamura got main event spots, there's no reason Omega wouldn't. He'd have more hype behind him than either of them did when they came in.

I just can't picture Vince "getting" Omega

Yes. But the SmackDown main event spot is always going to be treated as second or even third or fourth banana in terms of importance for these dual brand PPVs.

Maria has suffered a setback in her return as she has a broken wrist.

Mike Kanellis to remain irrelevant for the foreseeable future.
