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

[The Chris]

What was his problem i wonder?

 

[runawayboulder]

Didn't know this, Becky Lynch and UFC fighter Luke Sanders are an item.

 

[Dr. Evil]

He has to be trolling (or a leverage move). He's UFC's highest draw!

If this is legit, I guess White was too overwhelming as a boss for him. McGregor declined to work UFC 200 because he was tired of almost always fighting in Las Vegas.

Plus with Rousey's future being uncertain, WWE has The Notorious for their UFC connection replacement.

This whole situation is pure insanity!

Ronda could be fighting in the Madison Square Garden card on November 12.

 

[Dr. Evil]

A lot of those guys/gals are.

A lot of them yes, but not all of them.

 

[Dr. Evil]

As for Conor McGregor, I think it's all a money ploy to get more money from the UFC.

 

[Warhammer]

I'd probably have him feud with Stardust. Though I wish Cody would go back to just being Cody Rhodes.

Cody Rhodes should get dat face push into the Intercontinental title picture.

 

[Dr. Evil]

If the WWE is signing a former UFC fighter, it'll likely be Matt Riddle.

 

[Slushy]

Remembering Rick Rude on this day.

What was his problem i wonder?

Chavo's usually an ass.

 

[TX85]

Beast vs Beast on LU was ****ing beastly!

 

[Warhammer]

So I didn't realize that this whole thing about TNA needing money by the end of today or else control of the company goes to those Nazi brothers is a 100% legit real life situation.

It sounds like a story line right up there with Sting being saved by RoboCop.

 

[Wheels]

Yeah.....Ron and Don aren't going to help TNA's image at all.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Didn't know this, Becky Lynch and UFC fighter Luke Sanders are an item.

If they have a baby together, it's going to double-knee the delivery-room doctor who tries to spank it.

 

[TX85]

The Harris Brothers are actual Nazi supporters or was that just one of their gimmicks besides the bodyguard and biker ones?

 

[Warhammer]

I'm pretty sure they're legit neo-Nazis.

Since today is basically the long awaited (years in the making) death knell of TNA, let's cherish one of it's greatest moments starring Ric Flair and Jay Lethal featuring AJ Styles.

 

[TX85]

Dixie will be crying for days, where did those brothers get enough money to purchase the company?

 

[S. Grundy]

The Harris Brothers are actual Nazi supporters or was that just one of their gimmicks besides the bodyguard and biker ones?

They've said in interviews they got it for their gimmick, a dumb thing done in youth. The SS bolts have been appropriated by certain outlaw motorcycle gangs (although there are plenty of racist motorcycle gangs) but it's not necessarily indicative of Nazi views with bikers.

Dixie will be crying for days, where did those brothers get enough money to purchase the company?

No one knows what they are talking about regarding the investors situation. The Harris brothers aren't going own TNA in any way, shape or form. Aroluxe, a marketing company, has been with working TNA for awhile may end up as owners. The Harris brothers work for the company, they are not CEOs or anything like that.

 

[Wheels]

Grundy is right but they are still probably going to be involved in the wrestling side. I mean who expects a bunch of non-wrestling people to run day to day operations?

 

[X Knight]

TNA isn't dead yet?? lol.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Didn't know this, Becky Lynch and UFC fighter Luke Sanders are an item.

So she's dating a legit UFC fighter.....damn.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I bet TNA announces it as a "game changer" in pro wrestling.....which would be stupid.

No, a game changer for TNA is if they were bought by New Japan or Ring of Honor.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I'll be shocked if the WWE announces that they have signed Conor McGregor. It's a money ploy IMO.

That would indeed be a game changer, but I don't see it as particularly likely. ROH and NJPW are both run very responsibly and intelligently; they likely know they'll be able to get a lot of TNA's talent anyway if/when they go out of business.

The only thing I could see making a difference is TNA's video library and their international TV deals. If ROH got TNA's video library there would be tons of footage for new compilation DVDs and documentaries for guys that were in both promotions (AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, Low Ki, CM Punk, Jay Lethal, Eddie Edwards, Davey Richards, Kenny King, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, Raven, Rhino, Nigel McGuinness, etc). And you've got to think that a more robust streaming service is in the cards at some point for ROH; getting all of TNA's library and keeping it away from the WWE Network might be worthwhile in that respect.

And it would be big for ROH if they could assume all of TNA's international TV deals, particularly in the UK.

NJPW is more likely to just continue their working relationship with ROH and stick with their AXS TV show for international exposure. It gets them in front of hardcore wrestling fans for very little risk on their own part.

Correction, TNA should be bought back by Jeff Jarrett and he can absorb it into Global Force Wrestling

 

[famicommander]

Jeff Jarrett doesn't have any money. That's why he's doing pyramid schemes now.

I want to see GFW succeed but Global Force Gold is just a really, really bad look.
