One step closer to just outright turning them into their minor leagues/buying them.

If they do buy out TNA in the future, I would think twice before uploading Vince Russo's bullshit onto the WWE Network. (i.e. the reverse battle royal, Jeff Jarrett, etc.)

Nah put it all on. WCW was way worse.

I just want the Asylum years without spending more money.

PWI says Alexa Bliss was scheduled to return on the 1/13 Raw and join the Wyatt Sicks but a contract dispute led to it being dropped. Bliss wants a new contract for more money and perks and company wants her to work with existing deal. The creative team was told not to include her in future plans.

Regarding tomorrow’s SNME show, Jesse Ventura will once again return to participate in the show.

UNRELATED IM SURE, Hulk Hogan is no longer scheduled to appear on the show.

Problem is the crowd loved it. This is only a problem if they want him to remain a heel of course.

I gotta say I'm getting excited for the Rumble this year. Not like I'm religiously watching or anything but I don't see a clear favorite yet a lot of great directions they can go.

I really cant see anyone other than Cena winning as it fits in well with his final arc of this being his final year and final shot at beating the world title reign record.

I predict Punk wins the Rumble and challenges GUNTHA for the World Heavyweight Championship at WM. Cena wins Elimination Chamber and challenges Cody.

One of the reasons I am predicting this, is because the local ads are promoting the hell out of Elimination Chamber being John Cena’s final appearance in Toronto. I assume he would be in the main event which would be the Chamber, and he doesn’t need to be in that match if he wins the Rumble.

But I could be wrong.

Punk and Cena eliminate each other, each main events each night. Solely because if Cena's done and doesn't cross paths with Punk it is a huge missed opportunity.

Jesse should of course call the Rumble.

Jesse should be number 30 and he just comes out and does commentary for the finish and scream about the injustice and Mike Pence’s leadership in Indiana.

Honestly I think Gunther is losing the title before Mania and then faces Goldberg at the show.

So, this is the first Hall since 1993 to only have one member, so HHH can give a 3 hour speech.

Also, this match happened on WWE Speed and I just had to watch based on the names alone


One thing that modern wrestling has over the past is that the guys in their late 30's, 40's, and even 50's preserved their bodies much better. Many of the best wrestlers in the world 20 years ago are still going at a high level.

JD has broken ribs and a punctured lung. Lionizing him for continuing to wrestle that match is not only misguided it is actively dangerous because it encourages other wrestlers to do the same thing. Those are the kind of injuries that could have actually killed him.

Even worse is that the person tweeting has the job of stopping him from doing this.

I'm sure he communicated with someone in the back through the earpieces who said if JD wanted to keep going, then to keep going. That said, I absolutely agree he should not have been allowed to continue, especially since they weren't winning the titles anyway

Stephanie McMahon is getting her own talk show on ESPN+ starting in March. Produced by Peyton Manning's "Omaha Productions". Episodes include Steve Austin, Roman Reigns and Charlotte Flair.

Called "Stephanie's Places"

And she was McAfee's show today and pretty much said she is back with the company.

Just watched the full Cody-CM Punk segment from RAW. Admittedly I do not follow WWE very closely. But they were acting like Cody is going to be in the Rumble with Punk? Did he declare himself to want to unify the titles they just un-unified or something? Like he’s in a ladder match against KO. Google wasn’t a help.
