Rusev>Cesaro. Rusev is probably the most underrated promo in wrestling today.

I’d be surprised to see Cesaro get the IC title at Payback. It’s possible, but I could also see them having Cesaro get screwed and then then drawing it out until Extreme Rules.

Rusev/Cesaro seems to be the end point

Miz is getting a mountie run here.

Having Cesaro vs League of nations, miz, sami, corbin, and owens over the next couple of months

I wonder if they plan to revamp kalisto. People like him and the us title still have value.

Giving the belt to ryback, corbin, or hell Big E would do more for it.

I still want the big e singles run

Also rusev is great. I hope he gets a main event run again.

There was a point where people wanted Lesnar/Rusev

What money?
Nobody cares for TNA in India.

I still think about this sometime. In an alternate universe somewhere, is a Paul Heyman run company where he has access to top talent, deep pocket books, and a group of support staff around him who can cover for his weaknesses, which are mainly finances and diplomacy.

We, as fans, got fucked. We got Hogan and Bischoff to run TNA into the ground instead of whatever it was that Heyman had in the works. We will never know :frowning:

I’ll forever weep for the whole “youth movement” thing Heyman was going to do, not to mention the idea of stealing D-Bry to have him go undefeated and feud with Angle.

Yeah I remember Paul’s plan was to basically fire any talent over 40 years old which were eating up money anyway…and basically hype up younger talent from the ground up.

Actually under bischoff and hogan they got their largest ratings.

It was because panda pulled out and they lost that flow of money and expanding.

Also they never market themselves and dixie insists on word of mouth over actual promotion

Dixie basically wants an exclusive Country Club with her and her friends to do what she wants, she never cared if they company failed.

Tna never cultivated their fanbase

Also go to tna mecca and read all the jihadist they created

Tna fans I know are obnoxious as fuck though. They still delude themselves that they are in rival with wwe and are #2 best promotion or something.

Also they criticise everything wwe does. I mean yeah some of it is warranted but most of it is just plain bitterness.

TNA fans are the worst

It is like they have no clue how to really be a number 2

You need to actually turn a profit

In the states roh is number two

With cmll and aaa fighting back and forth over 3

While world wide new japan is number two to wwe

As far as the world Cruiserweight series goes, it needs more Low Ki. Sabre Jr. vs Low Ki would be DOPE.

If Hideo Itami doesn’t win it, I’m going to be disappointed.

I think Manny Andrade/la sombra wins it as his first introduction to the audience

Dude has actually bulked up from 6 months ago

Hideo should return with promos and should be about ending the guy who took him out

Finn Balor

Isn’t he the one with the no way Jose gimmick?

Nah that’s some crossfit or soccer dude

A big part for the foreign talent is learning english and annunciation for those with accents

Drew Mcyntire slumming it in tna

Bobby Lashley, about to be owned by southern racist

No Way Jose is Levis Valenzuela…

Not sure if it’ll amount to anything, but people are saying all sorts of rumours about Conor McGregor since he apparently decided to retire from MMA and recently followed a bunch of WWE people.

And this isn’t overly related, but what the hell is this annoying “COMPLEX” thing that keeps showing up at the bottom of the forum every page, and who thought it was a good idea to make it so you can’t make it go away entirely?
