Id rather them do away with the 6-man tag on RAW to be honest and just have lots of singles matches. But yeah, Id gladly watch 4 or 5 of them a week. The CWC matches that were consistently 10-15mins were awesome.

 

Taker v Goldberg v Michaels v Flair fight to the death match at WM. Literal death.

 

for some reason i've been thinking today about biggest crowd pops in 2016 (no order and just for Raw / Smackdown / PPV's):

• Seth's return / pedigree on Roman at PPV (Extreme Rules? MITB? whichever one)
• Bayley as Sasha's surprise partner at Summerslam(?)
• Styles debut at Royal Rumble
• Shane McMahon's return
• Goldberg's return
• Ellsworth getting a 2-count on Styles after No Chin Music
• Styles beating Cena at Summerslam
• Ambrose cashing in MITB contract
• Triple H turn on Rollins / KO becomes champion
• Sasha winning the Raw Women's championship (first time)

Any i'm missing?

 

Taker

 

This being on the list will never not make me laugh

I think you could add Ziggler over Miz at No Mercy. Crowd went nuts for the shoeless super kick.

And probably the Stone Cold Stunner at WM (though, that might be more crowd size than truly epic moment)

 

Anything involving The List

 

So who do we think Roddy teams with for the Dusty Classic?

 

Aries should totally get an eye patch

 

His match is in today's episode so watch it and see =)

 

@joe727 Finally started Marty and Sarah. On episode 3. For the love of god, please tell me Finn Balor's mom is a recurring character.

 

Yup. Just wait until you eventually meet her friend Helen lol.

 

So, what is this The Return promo on NXT all about?

 

counted up the cards on monday and couldn't believe it. did it again tonight and we actually had a tie across two combined ppvs. just going to throw this out and pray it doesn't happen again.

 

probably the drifter. hope its not the drifter. but its probably the fucking drifter.

 

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person in the world that didn't actually mind Samson.

 

Who ended up winning?

I want TM61 to be successful, but that was kinda meh.

 

This is not a fucking joke: I legitimately tweaked my back working out one day when they introduced Helen, I was laughing so hard. I cannot listen to Marty & Sarah when I work out anymore. Aside from looking like a complete idiot at the gym who is trying to stifle his smiles and laughter, it's a legitimate health concern now.

 

Prince Puma on the mic is so fucking funny. Love Rico, but man, his voice is so silly coming from a guy who looks like that.

 

Holy shit. Lucha Underground's main event was unreal good. I hadn't thought much of Chavo's run in Lucha, but this was a perfect capstone for the whole thing.

 

I feel like they missed an opportunity not giving her a name that starts with a "D". It would have given "In-D" wrestling an entirely different meaning...

 

Marty & Sarah?

 

Corgan out at TNA

 

Anthem Sports & Entertainment and Impact Ventures


Announce Credit Relationship

Toronto, Canada (November 3, 2016) – Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corp. and Impact Ventures, parent company of TNA Impact Wrestling, today announced that Anthem has provided a credit facility to TNA to fund operations.

Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corp. is a global sports media company that operates Fight Network, Impact Wrestling’s exclusive broadcaster in Canada, as well as the exclusive worldwide digital streaming partner for all TNA programming. It is also an equity stakeholder of Impact Ventures.

The agreement includes the appointment of Anthem Executive Vice President Ed Nordholm to the Impact Ventures Board of Managers. The company will be managed by the Board with Mr. Nordholm representing the Board on all major operating and restructuring decisions. Dixie Carter will continue as Chair of the Company, as well as her position on the Board of Managers. Billy Corgan is no longer with the company.

“We have had a successful, long-term partnership with Fight Network as our Canadian broadcaster, and more recently as our global digital partner,” said Dixie Carter. “Anthem’s team has extensive media experience, and I am excited to have that available to us as we plan for the future.”

“We have consistently maintained that investing in content as we grow our distribution is important as a strategic necessity, and working more closely with a strong brand like TNA is in line with that. This financing is an extension of the support we have been providing since the beginning of the year,” said Leonard Asper, CEO of Anthem. “There are tremendous opportunities to support the company’s growth on all platforms and in all media along side Dixie and the incredible talent and staff at TNA.”

 

Of course TNA gets rid of one of the best things that's happened to them

 

After Total Nonstop Deletion, I'll probably discontinue my support of any of it.
