The Wrestling Thread MUST End In Pinball Or Submission - - - - - Part 222

[Dr. Evil]

Both Adam Rose and Konnor have been suspended 60 days for strike 2 of the Wellness Policy.

Rose and The Ascension were both rumored to be on the chopping block for a few weeks now, this could very well speed up their releases.

That won't happen until the WWE returns to the states. I could see this being the list of the released:

- Adam Rose
- Damien Sandow
- El Torito
- Hornswoggle
- Jack Swagger
- Konnor
- Viktor

Bad News Barrett is likely gone, and I can see Tyson Kidd retiring and taking some sort of WWE Ambassador role so that he can continue on Total Divas. In terms of the women, I hear Summer Rae may be out and I think Rosa might be too if she does not return for Total Divas. I also think Zeb Colter is gone too.

 

[TheCommissioner]

Barrett has already given notice, and will be finishing out the rest of his WWE deal, which runs until June or July

 

[runawayboulder]

I heard Summer Rae was on the potential list of releases as well which is a bummer because her work as a manager/valet is outstanding. If she's given the right material she hits it out of the park.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Summer Rae is better as a manager/valet than as a wrestler.

I think Cameron is gone too.

Also, does anyone think that the WWE would ever consider bringing back another female from the five years of the Post-Trish/Post-Lita Era of 2007-2012? They already bought Maryse back but in a managerial role as she wasn't that great of a wrestler. The four best talents during that five year period were Beth Phoenix, Mickie James, Melina and Gail Kim. Beth is happy in retirement and the only one of the four in good terms with the WWE. Melina's attitude issues may make her forever blacklisted from WWE (and seems to have retired), Gail Kim isn't ever going to come back to the WWE and will probably retire when TNA folds. That leaves Mickie James. In 2013, she expressed interest in a WWE return and last year expressed interest again in a return. I don't know if Mickie still has it to be able to hang with Becky, Charlotte or Sasha, although she didn't look half bad in TNA.

 

[Lobo]

I have no doubt Mickie can hang with them, and give us amazing matches. I'll be meeting her again soon. Can't wait for that.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I would love to see Mickie in one final run in the WWE, like the Dudley Boyz are having now. I'd say the chances of her returning to the WWE is at 20% because she could return as a "surprise" like the Dudley Boyz last year. I give Melina and Gail Kim 0% chance of a return. Melina was asked at Wrestlecon though if she would consider a return if asked and she said that she did not know.

Gail Kim would walk away and retire if TNA is bought out by WWE for the video library for Sting, AJ Styles, Austin Aires and Samoa Joe.

 

[runawayboulder]

As useful as Mickie James would be working with the younger females in NXT, I think there still would be too much political stuff that would block her from coming back.

 

[TheCommissioner]

Gail Kim is probably a ZERO, shes made her money, and her husband is celebrity chef Robert Irvine, who makes a ton of money

once she's done with TNA, she's done

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Beach Divas!

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Ambrose is a lucky man.

 

[Slushy]

Gail is on WWE's sh**list, but if she did come back (which I highly doubt it), it's only because of who her husband is.

Mickie used to be blacklisted, but she was training at the Performance Center and was rumored to be inducted in the Hall Of Fame last year. I think whatever heat she had is gone now. Plus, I want Magnus to come to the WWE!

 

[TheCommissioner]

Yeah she was at the Performance Center during the fall I believe, right after she wrapped up with TNA?

I believe she lives in the area?

Two of EVOLVE’s most prominent mat technicians, reigning EVOLVE Tag Team Champions Drew Gulak and Tracy Williams, will square off against each other in the first qualifier. The second match is a battle to determine whether a rookie’s pure determination can overcome experience, as up-and-comer Fred Yehi battles 15-year veteran TJ Perkins.

The winners of these matches will earn a spot in the Global Cruiserweight Series along with the following competitors:

-Rich Swann
-Johnny Gargano
-Tommaso Ciampa
-Noam Dar
-Akira Tozawa
-Ho Ho Lun
-Lince Dorado

Don’t miss your chance to see these all-important qualifying matches for what is sure to be one of the most talked-about wrestling events of the summer.

I'm off that Saturday. I think I'm gonna try and hit this up. As much as I did no lot DGUSA in 2010, I haven't been to an indie show in far too long.

That moment when someone buys you a Cena shirt because they know you like wrestling and you have to pretend that you like it.....

I actually almost brought one because it was cheap, like $8 plus a 40% off sale. My better judgement talked me out of it though.

 

[runawayboulder]

So it seems pretty practical that Reigns title run is going to run to at least Summerslam. Anyone want to speculate on who is the most likely one that beats him? The most obvious suspects are:

Rollins
Ambrose
AJ Styles
Kevin Owens
Bray Wyatt

 

[Lobo]

It'll be Rollins imo

That moment when someone buys you a Cena shirt because they know you like wrestling and you have to pretend that you like it.....

.... knowing that you already have at least two of every Cena shirt ever made.
