About that security guy…

Dare I say this Reigns/Strowman rivalry might be the one to finally get Roman over? The booking has been solid as fuck for this rivalry and I hope it goes to WM.

Watch that shit go away the RAW after Fastlane…which will be in Chicago.
Especially if Roman vs. Taker is indeed going to happen.

So Kaitlin has split up from her roid head husband…

There’s also that people don’t really want to have to entertain the idea of Roman Reigns facing and beating Taker at Mania.

[dab00g]

Reigns beating Undertaker should happen all this talk about “this is my yard”

Undertaker will make him famous if he retires him. This also means Reigns can finally fully go heel.

Reigns hasn’t really been a babyface in like…a year. Get over it, people.

[Swedish_Chef]

Reigns hasn’t really been a babyface in like…a year. Get over it, people.

He’s booked as the face in storylines and exclusively wrestles against heels in singles. He’s a face, just one that gets booed out of the building because his character and booking sucks.
If Roman’s not a babyface then by that logic AJ Styles isn’t a heel because everyone cheers the fuck out of him whenever he comes out, he still only wrestles faces in singles and is booked in storylines as a heel.

Edit: Brackets for the New Japan cup are out.

Evan (EvanDeadlySinsW)

Night 2 is going to be fucking nuts, Omega vs Ishii and Shibata vs Suzuki on the same night.

[dab00g]

Shibata/Omega and EVIL/Tama

I think Tama Tonga is due for a strong push. I also think Kenny again loses here.

Giving us the surprise of Shibata/Tama

Or we get Elgin/Tanahashi and Omega/Suzuki

Which then starts that bc/sg feud

What feud has he worked face in?

[dab00g]

Aj is a great heel he can turn the crowd with a promo he had crowds cheer for cena and reigns during their matches

Braun has been booked as a destroyer and fans love that

I would definitely put the belt on goldberg to lose it to Strowman

Reigns/Strowman has been reigns sneak attacking then getting blown up

I want strowman to beat him at fast lane

Broken Matt and Jeff Hardy NOT Re-Signing With Impact ... Brothers Felt Dissed...

Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Broken Matt and Jeff Hardy will NOT be signing new deals with Impact Wrestling … and it’s because they felt disrespected during contract talks.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us the Hardy Boyz agreed to terms on a new deal back in December, but needed a few minor changes, and were simply waiting for the finalized offer.

We’re told the deal was supposed to be for 1-year in length. Weeks and weeks passed, with Matt constantly checking in, but they were consistently given the run around.

Eventually Matt and Jeff’s lawyer told Impact Wrestling officials that they wanted a creative control clause in their new deals … which was shot down immediately. One source says their lawyer told Ed Nordholm there was interest from other companies and he responded by saying, “Well, tell them to go to WWE then.”

This set Jeff Hardy off, who at that point said he was no longer interested in re-signing. Matt continued talks, but when they sent a new contract last week it was now a 2-year deal and terms had been snuck in which stated they’d receive 10% of all his profits outside of Impact.

Matt’s lawyer said he’d be a fool to sign, so he informed the company he wasn’t interested in doing so — but would still come to the tapings to write off his characters. However, he was told he was crazy to think they’d want him on TV without a contact.

We’re told Impact officials are currently trying to get their tag titles back

Yea TNA, tell your biggest meal tickets to fuck off and while they still have your belts at that.

loltna

[dab00g]

Two things

Anthem does not care about tna jumping off

Tna was a money pit with people having contracts paying more than they could afford

So guys left

EC3 probably going to leave and go do evolve and uk indies

[Geese_Pants]

Dude in the comments is saying it’s a work…why is it whenever there are issues within TNA there is always someone out there that believes it’s a work?

[Hawkingbird]

Wrestling fans will always say something is a work when they don’t want to believe what’s going on.

[Geese_Pants]

If anything…this could allow TNA to obtain fresh new talent from the indies that WWE hasn’t raided yet.

I hope they get new announcers too.

[Kinniku_Buster]

tna/impact need new everything.

[Geese_Pants]

Wade Barrett coming back to wrestling as “Fake News Bennet”…hmm.

[VolcanicAkuma55]

[Tyrant_Sardines_II]

Tna embodies the true shit Now, Then, Forever spirit.
If the Hardy Boys delete those belts in wwe, it would be DELIGHTFUL.
