You Got A Problem With The Wrestling Thread? Put It In A Handicap Match!

The rumoured TLC finish seems to fall in line with what I was told, as well as the plans to unify the titles eventually. I've also heard about the preliminary plan as to how the angle will play out to WM30 leading to the unification, but I seriously hope they go in another direction because what I've heard is utterly pants, and stinks of Vinny Mac thinking he knows what the fans want.

I'm assuming no Punk or Bryan involvement?

Christopher Daniels joined Inside The Ropes this past week. Here are a few highlights from the interview.

On CM Punk in ROH and did he see him ending up in the spot he's in today in WWE: "I saw that he had the work ethic to make it work. A lot of times it's just a matter of getting that opportunity. It's funny that the example of what he is and what Daniel Bryan is, goes against the grain of what the WWE is trying to do. It seems very rare that they take guys off the indies anymore. You know they've got the Performance Center and they want their wrestlers to start from there at the bottom. It's almost like they're trying to grow wrestlers in a petri dish and then you look at guys like Punk, Bryan and Antonio Cesaro who worked all over the world on the independent scene and it seems like they're doing well for themselves and making it in the WWE system despite not being brought up in the WWE system."

"It was great. We definitely tried to do something different in the approach to that story rather than just in the way that guys are always working for championships or blood feuds. We wanted to go personal. It caught people off guard a little bit because it was personal, it was different. You know, involving Dixie in it and Claire Lynch, that sorta stood apart from the standard wrestling storylines. It gave Frankie and I the first opportunity to get on the mic for a long term scenario. They'd let us talk before but nothing as long term as what we had. That was when people saw that Frankie and I could talk and we could become compelling characters and we've tried to keep that momentum going ever since."

Going back to Orlando with Impact: "I think it was good. We jsut got back from doing our first tapings there in I think 8 months and they were very well received. The fans welcomed us back with open arms. We had a little different set up than we did before so there's definitely a little freshness to it there that we didn't have last year and I'm looking forward to seeing how the next set of tapings go in December and you know, once we settle back down to an actual soundstage that's gonna become ours and see how it goes. I think it's the best thing for our company. You know, we did the thing when we went around taping the shows at different venues around the United States and that worked well for us but there were also negatives, cost wise it wasn't really effective for us so I feel like going back and doing what's best and going back to a central location, and hopefully having the opportunity to go out on occasion whether it's for TV or PPVs to go to other cities, I think that's gonna be better for us overall. A little bit of the best of both worlds. I think it benefits us in the long run."

Infrequently seen WWE Superstar Christian celebrates a milestone birthday Saturday as he turns 40-years-old. The six-time world champion was sidelined in August due to a concussion, which according to this week's issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, he has yet to fully recover from. However, he is expected to return to action in early December.

Christian is the sixth wrestler to join "The 40 Club" since the beginning of 2012, boosting the WWE main roster total to twelve. The complete list is as follows:

* Big Show - 41

* Christian - 40

* Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson - 41

* Goldust - 44

* Kane - 46

* Mark Henry - 42

* R-Truth - 41

* Tensai - 41

* The Great Khali - 41

* Triple H - 44

* Undertaker - 48

* William Regal - 45

It should be noted that there is no active WWE wrestler in his fifties.

If Orton and Cena did something like this together, it would be so bland.

This is about one of the only instances where you could have a promo in the ME spot of the show instead of a match and it doesn't flat out suck.

 

[Van Petrol]

I'm assuming no Punk or Bryan involvement?

Pretty much. Picture the worst case scenario with the usual suspects and you've pretty much got it.

Until Hogan comes back..

Vince might want to consider burning in hell. Just a suggestion.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Agreed. One of the most entertaining 15 minute segments I've ever seen.

*Considers giving away WrestleMania 30 ticket, but realizes there are other wrestling promotions have events that weekend THAT ACTUALLY give the fans what they want so I decide to keep it for now*

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Vince might want to consider burning in hell. Just a suggestion.

He will just feel at home then.

 

[Van Petrol]

Vince might want to consider burning in hell. Just a suggestion.

It wouldn't work. The man is so thick-skinned, he's flame ******ant.

Agreed. One of the most entertaining 15 minute segments I've ever seen.

Agreed.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Vince might want to consider burning in hell. Just a suggestion.

That may be hard to do, since he probably believes in immortality.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

The original hug it out.

 

[Wheels]

I swear if it's some combination of Cena/HHH/Orton I will vomit.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

It probably will be. You know duh Dub-ya Dub-ya E.

 

[Dr. Evil]

They have also made one good movie (The Call) out of their collection of films.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Princess Candice. t:

 

[Wheels]

It probably will be. You know duh Dub-ya Dub-ya E.

At least throw Sheamus in the mix or something. I mean we need someone to get their first WrestleMania main event.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

I've been saying this ever since I came out of Metlife Stadium at WM29: any WM30 main event NOT involving CM Punk is a bad move.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

She waved at me at WrestleMania 28 last year. Or was that Justin Roberts?

It was probably Chimel.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

It probably was.

 

[The Sage]

It's what is best for business.

They've been doing it since August.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

They've been doing it since August.

Ah, the period where everyone was saying "Let's wait and see what happens". Dark times...

 

[The Sage]

Ah, the period where everyone was saying "Let's wait and see what happens". Dark times...

Yeah. They fooled us.

If there's ever been an image that captures both Vince and Haitch in nutshell, it's this...

HHH probably slept with so many women with that belt on.
