Glad Velvet Sky won the Knockouts title again. Hopefully, they can now have Mickie James turn heel on Velvet like it was originally supposed to happen last year before Velvet left.

 

[Hunter Rider]

In a year's time this needs to happen:

- Dolph Ziggler as a permanent main-eventer and world champion.

- Daniel Bryan elevated back to main-event status and going after the world title.

- The end of Shield, all three rising up the ranks.

- Cena starts to losing to people not Rock or CM Punk. Or Lesnar. Or Taker. Or Triple H.

I think the key to Ziggler is a face turn as they can book it that his losses had come due to relying on AJ and Langston, and both of them being a detriment rather than a help.

Bryan transitioning from his current, very over, comedic role into a main event guy again is going to be his next big challenge, he's too good to just be doing mid card comedic stuff.

How WWE handle the eventual split of The Shield is going to be very important as all 3 have huge potential. I wonder if they could first work them into a position where they hold titles as singles stars within a group.

I hope the in-fighting between the heels during the 8 man tag on Impact means TNA are going to give us Aries/Roode vs Bad Influence at Lockdown.

I didn't realize Velvet had won the KO title, I must have missed it when I read that batch of UK spoilers from a few weeks ago. Personally I thought Tara's heel run as champ deserved a better ending than first pinned in a 4-way, and why not save Velvet's win for the Lockdown PPV?

Bully Ray is trolling hard with his "I'm so honoured" stuff with Hogan and Sting, he's got the crowd buying it as well lol. The highlight this week was him hobbling up the ramp to get to his wife and an injured Hulkster, as the camera focused on the Orange one laying in agony we heard Bully coming with a shout of "DAD!!!"

I kind of want to see Roode, Aries and Bad Influence in one stable...kind of a Fortune 2.0, but with in-fighting/one-upsmanship. But, a feud between the two teams is the next best thing. These four guys are without question my favorite part of TNA right now...absolute gold every time they are on the screen!

I've found Tara's title run to be very entertaining, and I agree...she deserved a better end than that. Velvet just hasn't done it for me since her return. She needs to be a heel again.

Bully Ray could not come off more heelishly insincere than he is right now with this marriage angle. I can't say that I like the overall storyline, but Bully's certainly playing his role extremely well.

I never expected when I first saw Buh Buh Ray Dudley in the 90s that he'd be involved in a story line where he'd be Hulk Hogan's son in law, and have him shout "Dad" when he got hurt.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Those pics are Kristal? I thought it was Tamina with a short haircut, hard to see the face on my phone. But who's looking at the face.

Yes, that's Kristal...and I was looking at EVERYTHING! (I'm SO jealous of Lashley!)

Lawd, this photo his hilarious.

What is your potential WM card looking like?

I'm guessing

Punk vs Undertaker or Punk vs Cena vs Rock...anything else would be an insult.

John Cena vs The Rock for the WWE Championship

Jack Swagger w/ Zeb vs Alberto Del Rio w/Ricardo vs Ziggler w/ Langston for the WHC Championship

Brock Lesnar w/Paul Heyman vs Triple H w/ Vince McMahon

Sheamus vs Mark Henry

The Shield vs Ryback , Orton , and Jericho

Cesaro vs Miz for the US championship

Daniel Bryan and Kane vs Brodus and Tensai vs Rhode Scholars vs Sin Cara and Mysterio for Tag championship

Barret vs (winner of battle royal)

Battle royale for a shot at the Intercontinental Championship

Kaitlyn vs Tamina for Divas championship

Wait, Swagger was actually gonna WIN the title???

Swagger inadvertently did us a favor.

Miz interview: http://www.pwinsider.com/article/75...for-linda-mcmahon-foley-dvd-and-more.html?p=1

I'm confused. Who are these people calling Miz the new Flair?

I like the cover art for Foley's new dvd. It fits his persona.

I wouldn't even call Miz a poor man's Ric Flair. I would rather someone like Cesaro or Ziggler using the figure four leglock. Miz is an ok wrestler , but he certainly doesn't echo Flair in any way.

I thought I read somewhere The Undertaker may interfere in next weeks Raw to cause the set up for Undertaker Vs Punk at Mania. Maybe it was just wishful fan thinking.

It seems like a lame way to start their feud , but I could see something to that effect. I'm not sure if it's a better idea to have Undertaker come in at the end and do a stare down or actually interfere.

Punk is probably better off being added to Rock vs Cena. Punk and Cena can do the brunt of the work and have Cena pin Rock at the end. That sets up Cena vs Punk at Extreme Rules and Punk doesn't have to take a clean pin for the third straight ppv.

RE: Miz/Maryse

I missed out on the "Maryse" era but I caught up thanks to Google. HOLY CRAP, Miz is a lucky dude.


RE: Cena/Punk

I'm tired of babyface Cena going against heel Punk. But you flip those roles and you could have an angle that IMO you could run with for a while.


RE: What the WWE needs to do this year

- Cement Ziggler once and for all. We all knew he could work, but he's been legit on the mic for some time now. Wasn't a fan of his at all when I came back but now he's a star in my eyes. Jericho vs. Del Rio vs. Swagger at WM. Jericho pins Swagger, Ziggler cashes in, we get classic Jericho/Ziggler matches followed by Ziggler/Del Rio and Ziggler/Sheamus.

-Keep up the work on the tag teams. I'll give the E credit on this, they at least are putting people in places where they could work. Do I like 3MB? Nope, they are charisma vacuums, but at least they got something to do. Tensai with Clay? Cool, new natural disasters. Rhodes Scholars, Cara/Mysterio, Team Hell No, Uso's, Primo/Epico, and for the LOVE OF GOD do something with The Primetime Players!



RE: The Shield at Wrestlemania

Armchair booking but I would love for The Shield to make a big mark on Wrestlemania this year. Something along the lines of destroying Cena and the Rock after the main event. Wrestlemania 29 ends with the future of the company standing tall, The Shield has arrived and are here to stay.

 

[TheFuture]

I'd say you called a pretty spot on card there bullets, they'll definitely use the tag titles and a 6 man tag against The Shield to get as many superstars on the card as possible.

I agree to an extent but the focus on the actual titles has gotten lost amid the personal issues with Bryan and Kane. I think they need to put Rhodes Scholars back together and put the belts on them as they are going to get lost in the singles shuffle right now. Then you have quality heel champs for a re-pushed Uso's, Fat Funky's, ReyCara and the PTP's to chase.

There's no Mania moment in this match to close the show, but you can change that if they do what you are suggesting and have The Shield address it as "The Cena Problem"......but just imagine if they end Mania standing tall alongside a heel turned Cena.

Why not just give the tag belt to Shield and let them dominate for several months all the way to Summerslam?

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

that is a superb cover

 

[Hunter Rider]

While the Freebirds rule idea appeals to me I don't think wrestling the Prime Time Players, ReyCara and the Uso's is going to do anything for The Shield and it will look like a step down when you take into account their PPV matches so far have seen them beat main event guys.

 

[Van Petrol]

Are you guessing based on the timeframe? or are you going off seeing something on dvd years ago? It can't be Rude as he won the IC belt at WrestleMania V, the same night Savage lost the WWF title.

Might have been Tonky then. I was too young to remember exactly and correctly. Incidentally, anyone notice the velcro on the WE strap where the snaps should be?

Zeb's message to Beck:

WWE shouldn't even waste time filming a repsonse video.

WWE should of just sent a clip of Ben Affleck's Fictional Characters speech from Jay and Silent Bob.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Zeb's message to Beck:

A very good and articulate speech, but it should not have come from Zeb; I don't like that they broke character to deliver this message, as their gimmick is still too new to get away with that.

It would have been better if JBL, Cole, Linda or even John Cena did that video instead.

 

[Anno_Domini]

From the reviews it seems that it's more about the characters and the message than action. Just so you know what you're walking into.

Yah, it wasn't a true-and-true action film with Rock, but it still was a somewhat good movie. When it comes to drama, I think Dwayne's best film is Gridiron Gang, but Snitch was okay. Will be a film I will definitely own when it comes out too.

- Dolph Ziggler as a permanent main-eventer and world champion.

- Daniel Bryan elevated back to main-event status and going after the world title.

- The end of Shield, all three rising up the ranks.

I could see all of this happening except the bold, lol.

 

[The Sage]

We gotta hope for the best man.

I'm pretty sure CM Punk will put someone over and make someone. Orton too. Cena needs to do the same.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

I love how on Smackdown they had Swagger and Colter go after Barrett so they can try to pretend like this isn't a racist angle...

I had the same thought of Bobby Roode, Austin Aries, and Bad Influence being a heel stable as they can carry anybody much similar to the Four Horsemen did in the 80's. If anything, they should be the anchor for the current TNA product.

 

[chamber-music]

Yeah I mentioned that before. Its like they said we aren't racist just xenophobic which isn't any better really

I'm surprised Mysterio or Sin Cara haven't been attacked yet. I'm also waiting for the inevitable green card on a pole match.

Thanks. I tried to book everyone , lol. Not sure what they'll do with The Big Show. It's still a toss up and kind of strange on WWE's behalf this late in the game. I'm just hoping they've got a good angle for the Shield's match. Also would like to see Ryback or Orton turn heel at the event.

WWE shouldn't even waste time filming a response video.

They shouldn't be giving Glenn Beck the time of day , but they are so desperate for attention they'll be calling out Fox News all the way to Wrestlemania. I could care less about Beck's opinion or any of those repugnant morons.
