Speaking of TNA.....Broken Matt Hardy reunited w/Queen Rebecca in the ring!

Why? WWE already has both NXT and NXT UK.

That said, I think the current relationship works - TNA stars like Jordynne Grace get primo air time w/NXT and WWE gets to give its' wrestlers who aren't being used as much a chance to keep their skills fresh w/out going to a developmental territory as was the case when they worked w/Ohio Valley Wrestling back when Cornette was running it.

They killed off NXT UK about 2 years ago. But no, they dont need to buy anything, look at how AEW supposedly saved ROH.

Thanks for the correction.

I'm now convinced the AEW dub-Reddit is a freebasing crack circle jerk; why?

Don Callis wants Rush in the Don Callis family.

Yes, and WWE and TNA have a partnership now.

You hear Shane McMahon is trying to get through the AEW front door?
Rumors state that Shane, and Vince, want to buy AEW.

also, been rumors that WWE going to bring back WCW, and ECW.

 

[Dead2009]

Shane wants to work for them, Vince is never coming back and WWE isn't trying to bring back WCW and ECW lol. The "Who Killed WCW" thing wasnt associated with WWE in anyway.

TNA's not being sold to WWE. I dont know who started this rumor. Not happening.

WCW did plenty of shit to bankrupt themselves; WWE didn't have to do a damn thing (well, other than not f-up the Invasion angle; had Vince swallowed his pride he could've ran with that angle for years).

And Vince, by the way, did want to bring back WCW - well, WCW Nitro anyway - and the networks told him "Over our dead bodies will it return."

 

[Webster]

Konnan's a Vince Russo-level shit-stirrer.

No way in hell WWE buys out TNA because WWE under Trips recognizes something Vince Jr. never did - that at some point, you've got to give something back to the wrestling business and the best way to do that in the modern era is to help other national promotions every so often.

No, I mean now. We all know he was thinking of turning Raw into Nitro for a short period of time. But people on social media were thinking that they were gonna bring it back because of the Netflix deal.

Thank you for the correction.
WWE's still not bringing back WCW; that ship has long sailed...

As much as I love to slag Billy Corgan at times (NWA Samhain, anyone?) he's spot-on dead right about Tony Khan's favorite jerkoff partner, Uncle Dave Meltzer....

 

[Reddington]

Extremely sad that wrestling has gotten to a point where all the names I grew up with are retiring or simply not seen as much. I don't know who any of the new faces are, I lost interest in wrestling several years back.

 

[FallandPray]

The WWE women’s division might be getting a brand new set of titles.

According to PWN and Fightful Select, WWE has been discussing the idea of adding a women’s Intercontinental title and a women’s United States title. If this were to happen, each title would be present on a specific brand, although it is unknown which would end up on which. Images have circulated online, but the report confirms that those were AI made.

I also just realized something.....there was a Shark Week sponsored match on Dynamite last week and Shark Week is hosted by John Cena. Talk about an unintentional WWE/AEW crossover.

Remind me again how AEW is a serious promotion and not glorified indy outlaw mudshow wrestling.....
