Professional Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH, etc)

Bullet Club reunion? I hope not. Would be a great opportunity for an "Outsiders" angle and have Hulk, err.. Roman turn heel (or complete his slow burn). Then have Finn come up after dropping the belt to Nakamura and saving AJ, forming the Balor Club and feuding with KA/Gallows. That would fit the underdog "pitbull" character they've been building for AJ.
The THE GUY speech was cool at first, but him repeating it on every show is really pissing me off.
Maryse is going to be on the new season of Total Divas which they seem to be filming now, so that explains the angle and Miz's baffling IC title run. (He still sucks, shadow)

Heard a rumour they're going to try and turn Styles heel. Against Reigns? Good luck with that.

Shut it Q. Miz is bringing back the prestige of the IC title.

Would be cool to have him turn (and I assume Finn Balor turn) and join them as they wreck shit a la nWo. Hell, they could have Samoa Joe join them
Even if they did it, WWE would find a way to fuck it up like they did the Nexus. They'd have all the members lose to Reigns to desperately try to get him over as a babyface. WWE's track record does not bode well for AJ

It wouldn't surprise me, sadly.

Chyna Dead at 45

It has come to our attention that Joanie Laurer, better known as Chyna in the WWE, has passed away. According to her personal Facebook and Twitter sites, and confirmed by her managerAnthony Anzaldo, the 45-year-old former WWE wrestler was found dead at her Redondo Beach home.

TMZ is reporting this as a ‘possible overdose’ due in part to her history of drug use. A friend who had been unable to get a hold of Chyna went to her home and found her unresponsive on her bedroom floor. Prescription bottles were found in her home, and the police say there are no signs of foul play.

That is sad. She always seemed to be hurt emotionally. RIP.

She certainly did hit some rough times after she left (or depending on who you ask, was driven out of) the WWF/WWE. Definitely a shame.

Some more details.

According to their report, there were no signs Chyna intended to die but she had been dead for a least a day.

There was no suicide note and she likely died a “day or two” prior to Wednesday evening when she was found by a friend in her Redondo Beach, CA apartment. The last known contact she had with anyone was on Sunday evening.

Police found legal prescription bottles but no illegal drugs and none of the bottles found were emptied. Neighbors reportedly told investigators they suspected that Chyna overdosed because she had seemed “under the influence” lately.

That is sad. She always seemed to be hurt emotionally. RIP.

Well all was going well for her until Stephanie stole HHH from her. I mean, they're all adults, but damn that sucks
Notice HHH never won the title until he became involved with Stephanie? and people always accuse women of "sleeping to the top"

He won the belt a couple of times before they got together, as he's long had backstage stroke. It certainly didn't hurt his career to marry the boss's daughter, though.

He had won the IC title a few times I recall, but not the main title until later. I stopped watching around that time, as I don't really remember anything from his time as "The Game" until I started watching again years later

His first world title win was August of 1999. He didn't start dating Stephanie until the following year, after they'd become an on-screen couple in December of 1999.

Major NXT Spoilers

Nasty accident involving Enzo in the tag match. Just read that he's on oxygen and hasn't moved. Not good, to put it lightly.

Looked like Sami tweaked his groin during his match as well.

I'm really curious about what they will do with the Balor Club and if they will be heels (with a Finn Balor turn?) and if AJ will be a part of it. It's possible that AJ will battle against them, which is the direction they're going right now, with his difference in philosophy with KA & LG. Perhaps Finn will debut at Extreme Rules?

If they want them to be heels, have them side with Reigns. I mean, it wouldn't make a lot of sense, but then that goes for a lot of things they do.

Forgot to mention this yesterday, but it was cool they did a Screwjob 2.0 storyline

Forgot to mention this yesterday, but it was cool they did a Screwjob 2.0 storyline

They executed it so poorly, and the announcers did nothing to build it that it was really wasted on a throwaway women's match. Charlotte was never dropping the title there, and the finish did nothing to further the story line.

Yeah, I feel the Montreal Screwjob references are a bit overdone at this point.

Haha yeah it was definitely poorly executed but I like the reference to it nonetheless

To me it's beating a dead horse, Vince and HHH stroking their egos. I'm guessing Bret Hart signed off on it so I guess I can't complain too much, but...meh, old hat at the very least.

It's funny, the WWE tried so hard to make Reigns their babyface. They failed but they accidentally created the next John Cena, which was essentially what they were trying to do in the first place. Both Reigns and Cena are loved by the kids and hated by the internet "smart" fans who don't like being told who to like

The thing is, even if all the smarks decided to put it all aside and try to like him, his character comes across as entitled, arrogant, and overly cocky. In some ways, it's kind of the opposite of Cena's problem. Cena's character is too corny and goody-goody to appeal to everyone as a babyface, whereas Reigns' character is too heelish and unlikeable to fill the top babyface role. The boos are deafening right now.
