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.
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
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.
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?
