Kevin Owens heel work is getting better and better

 

an E/C v JeriKO feud while Seth is hurting....yeah, Im fine with that

 

I love this "we are the Universal Chamion" thing.

 

Those mics Enzo and Cass have wtf lol And the list is back!

 

oh man, Jericho is a god

 

"Did not" fuuuuck came back to the show at the best time

 

Yep, got to watch a 90min squash match and then came back to the RAW main event. This is great

 

Glad I skipped everything up until that point. Haha.

 

Graves making a good point, Enzo is basically a prop there

 

ive had this on mute during the debate. has it been pretty good? the cruiserweight stuff looked solid

 

Jeri-KO is a national treasure

 

Never thought I'd think this but I'm bored by this KO title reign - terrible raw booking is to blame

 

Little Enzo > Real Enzo

 

wow the sheamus cesaro tag team people were right

 

I'd actually have been down with them getting a match riht after the Club/New Day match, Cesaro turns heel with Sheamus as they target a bloodied Kofi Kingston.

 

I wanna see the face/heel duo dynamic play out. It can work pretty well. Plus how is it fair to The New Day to put them in another match right away?

 

how big is the cruiserweight division? We've seen eight guys so far and Dar and Gallagher haven't appeared yet. Anyone else been confirmed?

 

Alexa wouldn't let him out if Marty's apartment to compete in the match.

 

That opening match was so boring. And the ending.....so bad. 30 mins and we don't even get a winner. And we still don't know if Reigns is a heel or not. Either way he's awful in everything he does. The hair flipping while pinning Rusev was so cheesy and forced lol

 

Also, Foley has gotten old very quick. Just shouting and pointing all the time.

 

Mad Foley isn't believable at all. And Roman and Rusev were getting 'this is awesome chants' lol

 

Did those a-hole fans last night really chant CM Punk during an entertaining cruiserweight match? Now you wonder why we can't have nice things.

 

This is getting so absurd.


On today's WOR, Meltzer discussed the state of TNA...

"So… We still don’t have a deal. And time is running out. There’s no money to fund this week’s television and PPV. Um, WWE is back in the picture, which is a really interesting thing because with WWE in the picture, it could be over. And, you know, Dixie could sell to whoever she wants to sell too and I guess it’s become very complicated. Billy Corgan talked to ESPN and said, you know, he wanted to buy it but...and he’s got the money to buy it but its a complicated thing.. and he talked like it’s a deal that would take weeks to put together. And they don’t got weeks. They got like…I talked to somebody there and its essentially.. they got until Friday because that’s the last business day before Sunday. They can’t really, you know, get everything to the bank and get the money in and all that and be ready on a Sunday. It’s just not going to work. So they got a couple days to get this deal done.

Billy Corgan has also said that if he buys the company, he is changing the name of the company which, quite frankly, I would do. Just the feeling, it’s a tainted brand name and it’s just better to start with something else. Um, I would like to give it a little facelifting and get it out of Orlando, but, you know, financially, the last time they got out of Orlando, it cost them so much money that it really wasn’t worth it. And you know, they are really high on the Hardy’s thing. But everyday, you know, there’s talks going on, stuff going on and uh there’s not a lot of time.

If they sell to WWE, they are pretty much done. It’s pretty much it. You know, WWE would buy the tape library and um… there’s so much there because one of the complicated things is all the debt. There’s millions of dollars that there in the hole right now. There’s more in the hole than it would cost to buy the company. So, that make’s it real complicated. There's people who might be willing to buy the company. It’s like if Billy or Aerolux, let’s just say one of them buys it. Well, the other one would have to, you know, buy the company from Dixie for whatever it is but they are also going to have to pay the other one, the money that they put in for all those TV’s, not to mention all the other money for god knows what is still owed… wrestlers that might be behind.. whatever.. there’s so much.. its like.. its not an easy deal. Last week, I was talking to somebody from the outside, and my feeling is because the time situation, that's not happening. That deal is not happening in 4 days. With WWE, that's not as difficult because you’re just selling the tape library. With WWE, everyone would lose their job. Well, not everyone. They would take some wrestlers but the company would be done though."

 

I love that everyone that notates Meltzer's quotes makes the effort to include his constant pauses and uses of "uh", "it's like", and "you know".
