Rollins a joke?? He'll be as big as CM Punk one day. Hell, everyone of the Shield guys will be one top at some point.

Rollins character is weak to me!  And that curb stomp is trash!  Smh!  I'm old school slice. 

 

I'm in my 40's and I grew up on characters like; The Junkyard Dog (J.Y.D.), Bret "Hitman" Heart, Hulk Hogan, Triple H, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Booker-T, Big Poppa Pump, Lex Luger, Sting, Rick Flair, Jimmy "Super Fly" Snuka and the like.  Rollins is no where near that whatsoever and never will be to me!  I can see Reigns being the one that really blows up out of those shield guys though.  He has the look, build and persona.

Now your showing the generation gap of wrestling lol. Of course Rollins won't be anywhere close to those guys, there can only be one of all of those. It's why I hate when people say, so and so is the next Rock, next Austin, like no, there can only be one Austin, one Rock.  I'm an "Attitude Era Kid" so to speak. To me, no matter what they do, nothing will top the Attitude Era because that was my childhood. Nothing will compare to Austin, Rock, Mick Foley, Jericho and it's why I love the WWE Network. 

 

There is also a lot of young talent today I like as well, but it's just how Triple H and Steph book things when Vince finally steps down is going to be the key. Triple H has done a great job with NXT and developing young talent except they end up getting fed to Super Cena and it's over. Look at Bray and Sandow as prime examples of great young stars who could have been top heels until they lost to Cena.

Hes supposed to look weak, his character is a punk kid who has to cheat to get what he wants. And I think he's playing it brilliantly. Plus, hes a fantastuc wrestler and athelte, hes the whole package bro.

Of course there is a huge generation gap with me and these young bucks today.  lol!  But, prior to the attitude era and during it; I've watched and there were some fierce characters that imo, will never be match today.  Sure, there are a few young bucks that I like though (i.e. Ziggler, The Uso's, Roman Reigns) but Rollins?  Man please!  Lol!

Not to me and I have been watching wrestling for yeeeeeeeeaaaars brah!  Lol!  But, if you like him...cool!

The only thing Rollins needs to work on is his mic work. He's still not there yet. Roman Reigns needs to work on his mic work and his in-ring ability, and it showed when Randy Orton (of all people) carried him in that match at Summerslam. However, Rollins is a awesome performer and is incredibly athletic.

Out of all of the Shield guys right now, Ambrose is probably the closest to being the full package. He's entertaining every time he's on the screen.

For someone related to The Rock, Reigns is somehow bad on the mic lol. Your right Ambrose is the most complete of all the Shield members. Hopefully he ends filming the movie soon and comes back, he is badly missed.

I don't see any of this in Rollins like you cats do man!  Rollins is complete trash to me.  Weak character! 

 

But, I'm digging "The New Day."  Lol!

Agreed! WWE is making him looking like a coward. I understand he's a heel, but come on man. WWE has really gone downhill and don't even get me started with Cena.

[JO_75]

So anyone listen to any good Podcasts as of late lol. Cm Punk ripped the WWE good about their doctor not wanting to remove his staph infection and even misdiagnosed it as a fatty acid. If that wasn't bad enough, Triple H apparently over nighted his termination papers and he received them on his wedding day!.

Apparently it made Triple H and Steph upset about what Punk said and they put him on the 'Do Not Call List'. Yet Vince apologized to Punk and said he would like to work with Punk in the future.

Sheesh! And now Punk's with the UFC?!?! Wow. Did anyone listen to the podcast with Stone Cold and Vince?

Does anyone here think TNA will do any better when it goes to Destination America?

 

I welcome your responses.

[DomMcRaven]

Not sure. The product is better than WWE that's for sure. For those who have DirecTV, will it change channels or will it stay on Spike TV?

[DomMcRaven]

Spike is done with TNA. Destination America is now broadcasting iMPACT! Wrestling. And, that is part of a problem, as Destination America does not reach as many TV households as Spike does. Although, word is that Destination America is looking to set-up a partnership with Netflix to show iMPACT! on their streaming service; however, that's not for certain, yet.

Thanks. I'll look more into it. But what was the reason why Spike was done with TNA?

[George70]

Well, Dom, it was basically because Spike had been losing money on TNA iMPACT Wrestling - I will admit, though, I have to like the "never-say-die" spirit of TNA as compared to WWE.

Of course. TNA>WWE right now.

[Militant X 1]

I haven't seen TNA in a while.

[JO_75]

I haven't seen TNA in a while.

 

Me either. Honestly, the last time I seen TNA wasn't even a TV show. I went to a house show they had here in NC just to see what it was like. 

 

 

NXT is the only thing I watch anymore.

 

 

Pretty much I'm at a point where paying $9.99 for the Network just to watch NXT is worth more than watching Raw/SD on free TV. NXT is simply amazing, watched R Evolution and I was simply blown away. I'm pretty much ready to stop watching the main shows and just watch NXT.

[DomMcRaven]

For those who have DirecTV like myself, Destination America is channel 286. I can't wait for TNA!

[George70]

Neither can I, Dom - just another few minutes!

[JO_75]

All I have to say is.... it's about damn time that Vince finally does this. All these years later, and sadly this had to happen after his tragic death in 2011, but Macho Man Randy Savage is the first member of the the Hall of Fame Class of 2015.

 

DIG IT!

[George70]

Just as my friend and I were settling in to catch the TNA debut on Destination America, the fire alarm in the building where we reside went off!  We both went down to the community room on the ground floor, and we waited until the fire department came - turns out there was a fire on the second floor of the building, and we had to wait until the fire was put out, so we missed TNA last week.

 

Please, someone here let me know what we missed.

It's tomorrow night. Hopefully that's good news lol.

With the "Royal Rumble" less than one week away, does anyone expect an appearance by Sting?

[DomMcRaven]

It's possible. Wouldn't surprise me at all....

[JO_75]

Oh boy............... It's the 2014 Royal Rumble all over again. Just going to leave this meme here.

 

[DomMcRaven]

Couldn't believe Roman Reigns got booed that loud. So disappointed that Daniel Bryan didn't win. The crowd would have gone nuts. 

 

But still: TNA >WWE.

[Wacko4Zacko]

I have to admit....I miss Randy Orton.

[Nightman]

Keeping WWE Network for one more month after the February trail to watch WrestleMania.  Don't like the classic wresting offerings, I hope they can get Memphis Wrestling on the network, use to watch it on Saturday Night on FNN/Score.  Vince should just make Jerry Lawler an offer for the classic episodes since he owns most of it.

Actually I read that Vince did buy most of the Memphis Wrestling tapes from Lawler. I read it was for use for a Jerry Lawler Bio DVD but can also see it going on the Network in the future. So it may just happen. 

[George70]

I hear that Samoa Joe may be going to WWE.

 

Any thoughts?
