The Wrestling Thread was not an extra in The Hobbit - Part 102

[runawayboulder]

I'm 32 so fairly old amongst this thread.

34, got you beat.

 

[NDX]

Well, at least I don't feel as old knowing I turn 31 in a few days.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

I feel like such a youngin'. Maybe because I am.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Ha! I WISH my body felt like it did at 29! I'm 41!

I'm sure I will feel the same way.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Man the next NJPW IPPV is looking absolutely stacked. This company is leaps and bounds above every other company right now it's insane.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Ha! I WISH my body felt like it did at 29! I'm 41!

Ok, you have me beat, I'm 39.

Gather round, kids, On The Air and I are going to tell you how we sacked Rome and burned London to the ground.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

23...so I guess I'm in the middle.

 

[sweetre15]

Im 21...

PWI says that Tazz's contract with TNA expires this weekend.

I'm glad to see there are some fellow middle-agers in this thread. I just turned the big 4-0 this year. I take care of myself, but I just can't match the energy level I had at 21. Father Time takes his toll one way or another on all of us.

Update on the status of Jay and Mark Briscoe in ROH.

PWInsider.com reports that the Briscoes have not signed new contracts and that the brothers "have both wrestled their final matches for Ring of Honor, possibly for good."

We should note that at this point in time, it is not known whether the Briscoes have left ROH for good or are simply taking a hiatus until a later date. We will be sure to post more information as it becomes available.

In the meantime, Ring of Honor has released the following statement on their website regarding the duo. A warning that this statement contains spoilers for future ROH television episodes:
Last weekend in Baltimore was a physically brutal one for both World Champion Jay Briscoe and his “Best in the World 2013” challenger Mark Briscoe. The brothers tore into one another in one of the more physical championship battles and it ultimately required Jay to utilize multiple Jay Drillers in order to put his brother down for the three count. Unfortunately, as a result of those maneuvers and the general punishment suffered in the bout, Mark Briscoe was forced out of his spot in the Steel Cage Warfare bout that went down during the following day’s “Ring of Honor Wrestling” TV Tapings.

As for Jay, the day of those tapings he defended his title once again, this time against S.C.U.M’s Matt Hardy and although he was victorious in the bout, following the match the champion was viciously assaulted with a steel chair by S.C.U.M and left laying.

Unfortunately, ROHWrestling.com has since learned that, as a result of the injuries sustained during “Best in the World” weekend, both Jay and Mark will be out of action indefinitely. Mark suffered severe head trauma as a result of the bout with his brother while Jay apparently has a fractured shoulder and torn rotator cuff coming from the assault at the hands of S.C.U.M. At this point it is unknown how long Jay and Mark will be out of action but we will stay on top of the story to provide you with details, as they are made available to us.
ROHWrestling.com also contacted Match Maker Nigel McGuinness for an update on how this would affect the championship held by Jay Briscoe and he informed us that there will be an announcement made soon regarding the status of the ROH World Title. Nigel did inform us that he intended to announce this week that Michael Elgin would receive his championship opportunity on August 3rd in Toronto but now that is in question. ROHWrestling.com has heard rumors that with Elgin scheduled to be the next man in line for a shot, he may be awarded the World Title due to forfeit.

All of the events that led to this will be seen on “Ring of Honor Wrestling” TV broadcasts over the course of the next several weeks or you will be able to see it all unfold very shortly courtesy of the Early Bird TV options here on ROHWrestling.com.

Man, I hope they don't just hand Elgin the title. At least let him wrestle the TV champ, since that title should be a stepping stone to the main title.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Taven vs Elgin would be an interesting match. I think if anyone should win the title if Jay really is leaving I'd say Adam Cole.

Time is undefeated...we all will have to tap out eventually! It just takes some of us longer than others.

In the meantime, I want to hold the Life Championship...which includes marrying and impregnating Layla.

PWI says that Tazz's contract with TNA expires this weekend.

He sent out a tweet earlier (which has now been deleted) mentioning a wrestling event in Brooklyn at the Barclay Center. WWE will be broadcasting Raw from there on July 15th. Possible reunion with Cole?

(To be fair, TNA has an event coming up in Brooklyn on July 5th, but it's not at the Barclay Center, which Taz specifically mentioned in his tweet)

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Taz needs to go. (home)

 

[TheNextNolan22]

They should bring Gillberg and repackage him as Gilback.


AND PLEASE TNA GET RID OF TAZ.

Wait, you're 16 and you know who Gillberg is and want him to return as Gillback? Something smells fishy here...

I watched a lot more WWF than WCW in those days.

I hope to God he doesn't re sign.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

That's the last thing we want.
