JR is a good call since he's called matches for all three. The only dealings I can think of that Sting had with HBK were more Christian related things.

Its just hard to think of any big names that might be worth it to TNA to get.

Big Show has done some things with all three.

Could be Nash. Or Booker T...but thats a long shot. The Undertaker is an extremely long shot but possible since as far as I know he does have one match with Sting in WCW.

Lawler is a possibility.

Its the guy who branded the WWE network. Some of his designs are on there and its a good look.
I came across it as I was looking at (for a fun project to develop my own branding and design skills) creating a new look for WWE as I think the scratch logo needs to go as well as some of the other logos and ring designs etc.

The only distracting thing with all of those logos is that I find them all reminding me of the Ultimate Warrior.


Oh well if they do decide to change the logo anytime soon, at least the 'Spinner' looks like it will have to go.

[Van Petrol]

McIntyre looked like a boss yesterday with the Bellas all over him!

[AntMan]

The 2 out of 3 falls match could be fantastic, but no way Sheamus drops the title this soon unless he's "fired". Still, it should be a good match nonetheless.

The thing I don't like about those logos is that none of them have an E in them!

[AntMan]

Well, they don't want it to look like the "WE" women's entertainment logo. That's probably why they leave out the E.

A blurb from PWI's recent report on Ambrose/Foley:

It's all angle, building whatever the storyline is for Ambrose's eventual debut on the main roster. The idea here, as we've noted, is to use social media to create a legitimate, realistic feel for something to build it slowly as opposed to beating fans over the head with an over the top angle. Ed Koskey of WWE creative is heavily involved in the storyline.

Your right. I'm glad Sheamus and Bryan won't be a t.v. match. Extreme Rules is shaping up nicely.

I would do

Brock vs Cena - non sanctioned

Punk vs Jericho - ladder match

Bryan vs Sheamus - 2/3 falls

Orton vs Kane - stretcher match

Show vs Cody - strap match

I agree. I hope the two will finally be given their chance to shine together.

Yeah, I agree. Though it doesn't really bother me too much.

More Ambrose tweets:

ok,so I get sent home from tvs? cuz MICK feels uncomfortable? like I did something wrong? like I'M a criminal? #hardcorelegend=softcore*****

I realized Im really good at getting chewed out on the phone. The key is to put it on speaker and walk away, occasionally saying "uh huh"

First Mo Lawal expresses interest in the WWE, then they sign Lesnar and now Tito Ortiz...

Yeah, I was really disappointed that he wasn't on Smackdown. It seems like WWE sees how talented he is though, putting him a in feud with a legend who helped the careers of HHH and Orton, so it's cool.

[Dr. Evil]

The WWE could have done a lot worse for Ambrose than Mick Foley.

Definitely, I mean his debut feud is with a guy who helped the careers of not just HHH and Orton, but he also helped Rock transition from the mid-card to the main event, and further solidified Edge after winnig the WWE title.

Kind of a long shot but I could see Ambrose coming out during the Extreme Rules PPV to cut a promo.

It reminds me of Austin targeting Bret Hart early in his career.

That feud was awesome, hope Ambrose/Foley is the same.

That would be cool but my head might explode if Extreme Rules has Lesnar vs Cena, Punk vs Jerich, Bryan vs Sheamus 2 out of 3 falls, AND Dean Ambrose lol.

Kevin Nash commented on the latest Scott Hall arrest via his Twitter account, writing, "The only person at this point that can help Scott is Scott.Those of you that think otherwise are lost to what addiction is."

So much for the days feuds actually build up on the shows.

[Hunter Rider]

WWE will need to take their time with Ambrose, I like his stuff much like most on here, but it's not what the casual WWE fan is used to, and in ring-wise he's not spectacular and I don't think short matches will showcase him all that well. It's going to take a steady build to get him over beyond the smark element.

I think you may have nailed it with Big Show, Hogan brought him into wrestling, he won his first proper title match against Flair and also has extensive history with Sting.

Show vs Cody - strap match

I don't think a strap match with Show and Cody would work as Cody couldn't believably pull Show to one corner never mind 4, I could see Punk and Jericho as a strap match though, with Punk wrapping Jericho's neck in the strap and putting him out with the Anaconda Vice, then dragging his limp body to each corner.

JoMo and Jessica Alba see something lurking in the bushes!

You definitely have a point there Hunter, a 3min RAW special won't allow Ambrose to get his style over. So how would you introduce him to the TV audience and also get his more old school ring style over? Because Sandow will have the same issue.

[Slushy]

Before the PPV, I thought Undertaker was saying "The End Of An Era" just to sound cool to build-up the match or wishful thinking was that it was the last match for either of them, but its dawned on me now that Wrestlemania 28 was the final time we would see either Triple H or The Undertaker compete in a HIAC match.
