Wrestling: The Action Soap Opera Thread

[Johnny Drama]

Source: Cage side seats.

Don't know the validity of this story, however, Cage seats articles have been re-tweeted by wrestlers on Twitter (Stevie Richards and Daffney), so they must be doing something right.

With cuts looming to the main roster in WWE, agent Johnny Ace was tasked yesterday to fire Nicki Bella, one of the Bella Twins. The story goes that Ace came across one of the twins in catering and told her the sad news that she was no longer needed by the company as creative has nothing for her.

Unfortunately it was actually Brie Bella that Johnny Ace was talking to. This was only found out after she went to Vince to complain about being terminated, feeling it unfair as she works much harder than her sibling. Johnny then had to apologize to Brie in front of everyone and go find Nicki and fire her. "This is just like that deal with the one-legged kid a few years ago" Johnny is quoted as saying.

Sources claim that even though one of them is fired, the twins are just going to take it in turns each week in going on the road as no one will know the difference anyway. "This way we can both have a rest and we will just split our paycheck" the one with dark hair said.

Thank god and good riddance. I don't care how long she's gone or if she ever comes back, they just better give some other more deserving divas the spotlight before she possibly does.

 

[Project862006]

tell these other divas to get some personality 1st atleast Michelle had some sort of character

Layla is beautiful. She's the finest diva imo.

Great look, great personality, she deserves to be pushed to the stars.

She'll be buried by McCrap though no doubt. Then McCrap will end Kharma's undefeated streak. God I ****ing hate her talentless ass.

Her ass is probably one part that has some talent. She knows how to (last) ride The Deadman to the top.

Thats already funny but it would be funny as hell if it was true. I can picture Johnny Ace f***ing up something like that.

Gentleman and a scholar.

Swagger should stay heel , I agree. Also it would be interesting if Cole was his manager and left the announce desk.


Miz is defined by being a heel but if they could pull off a face turn it would be interesting. He would never reach heights of Orton or Cena in popularity and it would take awhile but I think there's a possibility.

The next step with Cole should be to make him Swagger's manager I agree, I think he's done as an announcer.

Miz main event role is dependent on being a heel IMO, if he made a face turn I think he'd go back down the card.

Miz' heel run reminds me so much of Jericho's early heel runs when he first came to WWF. Hiding behind body guards and the like. Jericho was the epitome of *****e bag heel, and made the face transition rather well.

I could see Miz doing the same.

Jericho has never had the same success as a face as he has as a heel, and unlike Miz, Jericho actually has the offense to be a face.

 

[BlackLantern]

if Miz was going to go good guy, he would need to up his ring skills....and I really do not think he has the scrote for it

I didn't realize "bland" was considered a character these days.

During WWE's shareholders meeting earlier this morning, a shareholder asked Vince McMahon about any interest in buying TNA Wrestling.

The shareholder said, "When are you going to buy that three letter company that's based in Nashville, Tennessee because they have the wrong people in charge of that company."

Vince responds, "Right".

The shareholder continued, "And please save the business from Dixie Carter. (Vince laughs) Stephanie has more brains than Dixie Carter has." Vince responded laughing, "I would hope." Lots of laughter and chatter took place after this statement was made by the shareholder, including Vince laughing some more at his table. Stephanie McMahon and Triple H were shown sitting nearby laughing as well.

The shareholder continued, "I think if you buy it now, there is a shot at fixing that company because I know you would put the right people in charge to fix that company." Vince, seeming to be at a loss for words, responded, "I don't know that they are for sale." The shareholder jumped in, "I'm sure if offer them something...I don't know. It is a 50/50 shot. I mean they know you are loaded with money." (crowd laughs) Vince continued, "Well...maybe." (Vince smiles, crowd continues to laugh)


NoDQ

 

[BlackLantern]

I think thats total BS....but, but Im sure if Vince went to the Carters and Panda Energy and made a decent offer, they'd probably sell

but then that wouldn't be good for anybody

 

[Johnny Drama]

It wouldn't be BUT McMahon would probably cherry pick the roster and make money off of DVD catalogs. I mean, it's either that or TNA inevitably goes under in a year. And the former is slightly better than the ladder.

 

[BlackLantern]

I think TNA shuffles along for the next couple years....

 

[Johnny Drama]

If they are smart they will sell before the product becomes untouchable and try to salvage SOME of their losses

I hope Brodus Clay doesn't get lost in the SD shuffle with Del Rio going to RAW. I'm really liking what the Mastodon of Mayhem can do in the ring. He looks a lot farther than others at his position on the card.

 

[BlackLantern]

Id certainly prefer to see him as opposed to JigglyPuff

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

I hope Brodus Clay doesn't get lost in the SD shuffle with Del Rio going to RAW. I'm really liking what the Mastodon of Mayhem can do in the ring. He looks a lot farther than others at his position on the card.

I hope so too, if built right be can be a great monster heel.

 

[StarkvsRogers]

Smackdown was decent tonight... I'm stoked for Extreme Rules! Some actual full fledged matches!

Eve is actually ok on the mic. McCool sounds like a cat in heat scratching a chalk board.

So blond. So plastic. The most natural looking thing in that picture is the leather jacket.

If they're smart they'll try to keep going. Anybody who wants WWE to have a monopoly on ALL wrestling on a national level in America is begging for it to suck.

ECW went under and Vince bought WCW and things got worse not better. IF TNA gets worse prepare to see national level pro wrestling sports entertainment go totally into the crapper for a lot of reasons and be prepared to see most new talent become as bland and generic as most of WWE's Orton clones because they'll be totally born and bred in the WWE farm system. No experience anywhere else.

It wouldn't be BUT McMahon would probably cherry pick the roster and make money off of DVD catalogs. I mean, it's either that or TNA inevitably goes under in a year. And the former is slightly better than the ladder.

Cherry pick who? Some of those guys don't want to work for WWE. I wouldn't be shocked if some just walk away from the business because they don't want to deal with the BS and the politics of WWE. Vince can't FORCE them to stay with WWE. There is life outside of pro wrestling. Its too bad more wrestlers don't realize that.

Why buy out TNA for some wrestlers when he can just OFFER them contracts? That seems a lot cheaper and much more likely to happen to me.

The guys who DO want to sign with WWE...most of them are just going to go there to job. If a third generation member fo the friggin Hart family can't get on tv most of those guys in TNA have no chance.

Vince buys TNA and it ends up being worse than ECW and WCW. With ego and ineptitude he let those two companies rot except for using the video libraries. he brought ECW back only to run it into the ground.

Most of TNA's video library isn't even worth buying at this point so I don't even see why Vince would want it.

As for TNA going under in a year...People have been saying that for like FIVE YEARS. Its getting to the point where it just sounds ridiculous because a year ago people said TNA would be dead now they aren't. Maybe they will and maybe they won't. Nobody can say for sure whats going to happen unless they open up all their books and we get a look at them.

Somebody can be doing GOOD business and still go under. What do you think happened to Jim Crockett Promotions? The average fan probably had no clue they were in such bad shape that they needed to sell to Ted Turner.
