Cesaro blows my fucking mind. He has had some "Classic" spots with that and the deadlift superplex and Euro Uppercut Barrage. This dude could be so over. He should have been Heymans new guy

The story making the rounds is that Styles' contract is up in September (which is just a few weeks away) and that the two sides have yet to come to a new contract. There's also allegedly been very little attempt by TNA to get a new deal done.

Obviously, this would not be the first time TNA has let a valued talent's deal expire (Samoa Joe, Devon, Bobby Roode both come to mind) before attempting to lock them up again.

However, what is insane about all this is that Styles has been the TNA poster boy since the company launched in June 2002. He was the nucleus of the original X-Division and grew into one of their best, most loyal performers, including taking part in the Styles vs. Joe vs. Chris Daniels bout that is considered the best TNA match of all time. Styles is one of a select few branded as a "TNA guy" similar to how Sting was seen as a "WCW guy" a generation ago.

The idea that TNA hasn't locked him in with about a month to go in his current deal is strange on a lot of levels - Styles' WWE counterparts would have been signed well before they were close to a deal expiring. The idea that they could put themselves into a situation where WWE could come in and swoop him up sounds ridiculous on paper, but all signs are that's the position TNA is putting themselves in.

Even odder is that TNA is in the midst of a big storyline with Styles, which will culminate on tonight's episode of Impact Wrestling.

As soon as we confirm more, we will update, but earlier today the following was posted on Styles' official Facebook page: "Where do fans want AJ Styles to be? TNA? WWE? ROH? Japan? Lots of options. Tough decisions."

Doubt TNA would be that dumb to let him leave but probably also won't get anything done until the last minute.

Antonio Cesaro is unreal. Huge fan of the guys work. I like where he is right now with the Real Americans, and "we the people" is getting pretty over. I really hope he gets a good singles push when this team runs it's course.

Guys like Cesaro are pretty much the reason I hate Wrestlemania being hogged up by so many part-timers.

Just read that WWE is gonna drop the Hell in a Cell PPV after this year

VSG	08-22-2013 02:40 PM

Good thing if its true, just use the HIAC match for special occasions such as HHH-Taker last year.

I've been a fan of Cesaro since he dropped Russian girl name and started doing awesome feats of strength. He's one of the best they have in the midcard and brings out the best in his opponents. His match with Daniel Bryan a few weeks ago was awesome and had the crowd fully immersed.

Mr Anderson also has the strong possibility of leaving TNA soon.

Quote:

TNA is working under a budget more now than they ever have in the past and when that is the case, hard choices have to be made. While everyone I spoke to in TNA told me that they want AJ to stay, it will come down to whether the deal makes sense to them financially. From AJ's perspective, he has over a decade of service and goodwill with the company. Like anyone in that position, he doesn't want to stay even or go backward financially. TNA management understands that but they also realize that they don't have unlimited finances and thus have to spend their money as judiciously as possible. They want AJ to stay but they also understand that if he can get a better deal for his family, he should take it and move on.

The company has set an objective recently to try and uncover young talent. Going foward, they will be looking for young workers to add to their roster. The sad reality of the situation is that after a decade in TNA, their audience has plateaued. It could be that AJ's experience and tenure have priced him out of TNA. If they can bring in four or five guys for the price of his contract, it is something that they have to consider.

There are at least two other wrestlers being affected by the new reality of TNA right now as well. They are Ken Anderson and the person that loses the fall of tonight's match on Impact. Anderson is in a similar situation to AJ in that the sides are still talking and it could go either way but will probably go down to the wire. The person that loses tonight's fall is said to be leaving in the next month or two.

Anderson could be a nice surprise in the royal rumble, with a decent run after that

Hogan, Bischoff, Sting, and Angle? It's amazing they're still running.

Apparently all his best matches are tag matches. I didn't realise Teddy Long was the GM of NOAH.
