I hear that Samoa Joe may be going to WWE.

 

Any thoughts?

Not sure if it's still rumors. But please no..

i take it that he wouldn't fit in WWE.

 

Personally, I would much rather see him in either Ring of Honor or Ohio Valley Wrestling.

That and he'll be watered down.

Well sure, if Vince gets a hold of him. From what I hear they are negotiating and it is all on Triple H. Hunter wants to bring Joe to NXT and that may actually be... Best for Business for Joe than going on Raw and SD.

If Samoa Joe is signed by one Hunter Hearst Helmsley and is placed with NXT, and is kept there, then I don't know how long Joe would be on that side of WWE - however, should he work his way through NXT and end up in the main heart of the promotion, then he could conceivably be seen on Raw or SD.

 

I shall have to wait and see how this turns out, friends.

Most likely will receive a deal similar to Kevin "Owens" Steen and will only be in NXT for a short time. I mean Kevin Owens already won the NXT Title and he debuted on NXT in December. 

 

So Brock Lesnar is done with MMA and re-signed with the WWE... well at least that gives me hope Roman Reigns won't win on Sunday.

Watch Reigns still win. Unfortunately, I believe THAT! Smh...............

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

 

Man, I miss The Rock, Triple H, Booker T, Bret The Hitman Hart, Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold Steve Austin just to name a few of the greats!  This junk I'm watching now with the WWE is pathetic!  Smh!  But, Naomi is fine as hell!  Lol....

I hear ya, but Paige....................................

What about her?????

[DomMcRaven]

What about her?????

She's fine as hell too!!!!! That's what about her!

[George70]

Last week, one of the legends of the "Pre-WWE" days, alias the Territories, passed on.

 

His name was Ron Wright, and he could get into a good scrap or two in his day - hey, he got into many a scrap many years ago in the Southeast Championship Wrestling territory in East Tennessee.  He was known for his "Tennessee Chain Matches" - which could be somewhat savage - and his loaded boot.

 

Sadly, Ron passed away on April 21, 2015, in his hometown of Kingsport, Tennessee, at the age of 76.

 

He will be missed.

[Militant X 1]

Ohhh!  I hear you!  Lol!!

[JO_75]

The pop that the Triple Power Bomb got was incredible, shows fans still want to see The Shield as a group. Great tease of them getting back together, Rollins wins with a horrible looking pedigree. Overall Payback was an amazing show from start to finish. There really wasn't any match that sucked, from top to bottom. Might be PPV of the year with The Fatal 4 Way being a real close second to Lesnar vs Reigns at Mania for Match Of The Year. 

 

Baltimore is and always was a wrestling city dating back to the 80's when NWA/WCW would have Great American Bash at The Arena each year.

It's official. Samoa Joe made his WWE NXT debut tonight at NXT Unstoppable. Joe saved Sami Zayn from a beatdown from Kevin Owens. Then those two had a standoff before Owens left the ring, great tease to set up this epic match whenever it happens. Thankfully Joe got to keep his name, I wonder if he himself owns the rights to the name "Samoa Joe" like Phil Brooks owns the rights to the name of "CM Punk". NXT just got more interesting. Spend your $9.99 for the Network if you haven't done so yet, NXT is about to take everyone for a ride.

[JO_75]

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

 

I welcome your responses.

 

Here we are in May and the big rumor is that Destination America CANCELLED TNA Impact Wrestling. Decision was made by Destination America officials last week and the last show will air at the end of September, then TNA is without a TV Network again. It's being said they regret doing the deal with TNA, and advertisers who run ads on DA, expressed a desire to not air Impact. This comes out after the announcement of moving to Wednesdays.

Yeah, but why is it that when these NXT guys go to RAW, they lose to that bum aka Cena?

Wins and losses don't really matter in wrestling; it's how you win or lose. So far, all of the NXT guys have fared extremely well against Cena. They look like bigger stars as a result.

 

Cena is in the twilight of his career and they're using him to elevate the midcard. Much better than putting him in the world title picture. I have no complaints.

[George70]

I guess you all have heard - Ring of Honor is coming to Destination America!  Their show will air Wednesday nights at 8PM, Eastern time, starting on June 3rd.

 

I welcome your comments.

I'm looking forward to it. Not a huge wrestling fan, but I'll give ROH a try.

I''ve always wondered that too but something tells me it will be different with Kevin Owens. Owens won tonight at Elimination Chamber, they are having a rematch at Money In The Bank, and something tells me by Summer Slam(that way he has time to drop the NXT title to Finn Balor) Owens will face Cena again but for the US Title and Owens takes the US Title from Cena. 

 

I love that WWE is slowly building up to a Shield Triple Threat for the WWE Title at Wrestlemania 32. Teasing us with Ambrose pinning Seth but winning by DQ. Reigns is in the MITB match and the only person in that match that can realistically win it. I think WWE is about to take us on a ride all the way through Mania 32.

Like an RKO, you post.... OUT OF NOWHERE! It's been a while since I've seen you on these forums.

I hope you're right about Cena. Once he loses the US Title, watch him quickly becoming a contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. 

 

As far as the Shield is concerned, I feel that way too leading up to Wrestlemania. If in fact that does happen, I got RR winning.

Dom, I never understood why there is such a hate-fest for Cena?  What's the problem?

 

As far as the WWE in this era or generation, it is horrible!  The characters and storylines are pitiful imo.  I use to watch matches in their entirety, now i just record the show and then fast forward through the garbage later.  I miss the days when Triple H, The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin to name a few ruled the WWE.  Smh!

I don't hate him personally just as a character.He comes across as phony though from Mr. Thuganomics to Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect. There's this guy I'm subscribed to on Youtube that's been following wrestling, NBA, NFL, MMA, UFC, etc. for years. He's pretty deep in his analysis regardless of the sport. In fact, he reviews Monday Night Raw every Monday night. On his website, he goes into extreme detail about a number of wrestler's careers over the years. The point I'm trying to make is that because of him, I learned a lot more about Cena than I ever had before and let's just say that a lot of what I learned wasn't positive. 

 

But for your other statement, we used to watch characters like Stone Cold and the Rock to Adam Rose and Fandango. Huh? My favorite time was around 1998 when it guys like Stone Cold, The Undertaker (my favorite wrestler for the record), Kane, and others were the main guys.  

[theFRANCHISE]

It takes two to have a great match, and John Cena put on a modern classic with Kevin Owens at Elimination Chamber.

 

Now the world understands what I've always seen in Kevin Steen, and why Triple H is so high on him. As long as they keep some of his mystique and don't overexpose him, they've got an overnight sensation in Owens and caught lightning in a bottle.

That's my point!  Based upon these incredible "characters" I grew up watching (i.e. Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Booker T, The Undertaker, Kane and Shawn Michaels etc.) This generation of wrestlers is weak to me!  Now, as far as that Kevin Owens cat?  WOW!  He's got something!

Oh yeah. He's got that presence about him. I love his "When I said I'm gonna do this, I delivered." That's what I'm talking about.

Who's watching ROH tonight on Destination America?

[DomMcRaven]

Who's watching ROH tonight on Destination America?

What time is it?

[JO_75]

Last year it was the Ultimate Warrior, this year it's Dusty Rhodes. WWE has announced that WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes has passed away at the age of 69. Not much as been said of why other than he had a fall, then EMTs were called and he passed on the way to the hospital. 

 

Amazing... he had lost weight and looked good, and looked healthy. Then again, so did the Warrior last year then he was gone. 

 

This is a very well intended pun, but the wrestling word has fallen on Hard Times losing such a great like Dusty.
