One way I could see this thing being introduced, is if Brock wins it and introduces it as an alternative to the 'Spinner' belt, with a bit of an MMA flair to it.

We all want the same thing when it comes to a WWE title belt that isn't the current one.

That could work since Brock is working the angle that he's bigger than the WWE, having the belt changed to suit him makes sense.

I'm getting more entertainment out of Steiner's tweets these days than Impact.

It's such a shame as they started the year really well, but it's all Dixie's fault, the show was going well with Sting as GM, it was simple booking with logic and plenty of time to showcase the talent, but she re-signed Hogan and comitted suicide.

Going to have to follow this and see where it goes.

I think this may finally be the gimmick that see's Husky become a player on TV, he's got the promos down and he could always work, and he works his character into the match. Cottonwood should never wrestle, he does a fine job of standing and looking big, they hopefully will realize less is more with him.

You know I understood from watching some of Kelly Kelly's recent matches that she has improved. Velvet Sky on the other hand, has been awful lately. So Kelly Kelly is winning me over.

Has Brodus Clay lost a match since he re-debuted?

Agreed, Velvet is over in TNA and the epitome of porn hot, but she simply is sloppy as hell as a worker even when in with someone good.

No.

[Hunter Rider]

I watched a Shimmer show the other day, I thought Portia Perez stood out as someone who could do a good character job in WWE or TNA and Mercedez Martinez is a solid talent.

The main event was between Madison Eagles and Serena Deeb and was very good, Eagles is kinda like a female Bruiser Brody, she looks ungainly but moves deceptively well and is athletic and can work, Deeb though is a better package for WWE or TNA, she can work, she looks good and she can talk.

I definitely agree. I guess part of my Kelly hate came from the fact that she's more of the same look Vince loves. I'm so happy Layla is champ BTW.

Some people just don't know when to quit especially when it comes to plastic surgery. :verysad:

First heel(s) I ever cheered for were Demolition.

　
This although my first singles heel wrestler to cheer for Shawn Michaels with mullet and all . Granted, he was a d*ck in real life, but I loved his character. Acting better than everybody else, but being able to prove it.

Vader said the finish at Summerslam was designed to lead to Vader vs HBK for the title at Survivor Series where Vader would win and then drop it back to Shawn at the Rumble so he could face Bret at Mania.

Maybe I don't check WWE.com often enough.. But..

True story as the IYH following SSeries was named It's Time. Unfortunately, Shawn hated working with Vader because he was too stiff so he had his buddy Sid take his place which in itself was a blessing as I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Vicious kick the sh** out of HBK at MSG. The place went nuts for Sid!

Interesting, no?

WWE HOF 2013 / 2014, brother!

You want me to turn my TV off? Then put Sid on.

.

TNA will never grow beyond their current status if they keep up what they are doing. Fortunately for them they are the highest rated show on Spike and their biggest ally at Spike TV just got promoted. TNA will be on that network for quite a long time.

Honestly, with Bischoff's place in the company and rising power with Spike officials (they rather deal with him than Dixie), I would not at all be surprised to see Bischoff convince Spike/Viacom to buyout TNA and put him in charge. At some point The Carter family is going to stop feeding Dixie money and cut her off if TNA doesn't grow.

Dixie is a moron. She may be a great person, but she has zero clue about the business.

IMO Kelly and Velvet are equally bad in the ring, but at least I can tolerate Velvet matches for the simple fact she doesn't scream with every wrestling move she hits like Kelly.

Ah I see, pretty cool, I think they seem to get along well.

Kelly is the blueprint Diva in Vince's eyes, but I do think she's worked hard and can at least hit her spots in the matches she has. I love the new offense Layla has added, hopefully they'll giver her a proper angle, I think with power hungry Eve would be best.

Ironically that his the second time a Sid vs Vader match was supposed to headline a December PPV and didn't. Shawn carried Sid better than anyone, in fact only him and Flair got a decent match out of him, but I'd have much preferred to see the planned HBK vs Vader series.

TNA has that safety net which is just as well because the choices made within that company are baffling. It wouldn't be a terrible thing Bischoff taking over IF we didn't know that where Bischoff goes Hogan follows.

[AntMan]

Yeah, I'm a Velvet fan, but she has been botching quite a bit. I miss Velvet as a heel. Why do wrestling companies make faces so boring?

That's funny you say that about Serena since WWE already had here and kicked her to the curb without using her to her full potential.

As reported earlier, Eric Bischoff finally responded to Scott Steiner's numerous scathing remarks on Twitter on Thursday. After "Big Poppa Pump" wrote on the social networking website, "At Shoney's to Go Grand Opening in Buford....awesome food," the TNA Wrestling executive responded, "50+ year old man pitching greasy fried chicken in Buford and wrestling indys in front of 250 fans...bitter?" Bischoff then retweeted comments on his timeline with an anti-Steiner stance, many of which accuse him of drug abuse. In response, Steiner issued a warning to Bischoff as well as Hulk Hogan, and also disclosed the meaning of "609." Steiner wrote:

The thing I give Kelly over Velvet is she is an athelte and can hit the spots she goes for properly, Velvet often botches her spots.

This is the main thing I worry about for the company. I could easily see Roode, Storm, Ray, and few others leaving if offered nice contracts from WWE. If TNA loses guys like them, they are screwed from a talent perspective.

The backstage atmosphere and politics has never been worse in TNA and you have to blame Hogan & Bischoff, but mostly Dixie for allowing it to happen.

What's interesting is how Hogan and company have even upset and soured veterans of the company like Sting. Steiner has mentioned Sting's disdain for what's been happening backstage and with some other things.

Velvet botches a lot still but I'll watch her in the ring any day over the screaming, zero personality, plastic barbie known as Kelly Kelly.

If those guys and several others go, then the company is done. I can see Hogan reaching to get some of his friends and cronies to replace them if it comes down to that, but if bringing in guys like the Nasty Boys like two years ago is any indication....

I really don't get Dixie Carter. It's painfully obvious that Hogan is beyond his time and doesn't know anything. The last two years have shown this, why put so much faith in him? And the same with Vince Russo.
