The Big Wrestling Thread!

Yeah it's to bad WWE seems to be happy with letting Henning rot.

To be fair, had already had a big shot. He failed. He will get another. His biggest mistake is not using his father's name. That would instantly get him over for the people that didn't know that fact.

Yeah Michael Cole always mentions it as well which makes you wonder why he isn't using the name

True, but I'm pretty sure (as it's been reported before several times) Vince and upper management didn't want him to use his father's name. Which doesn't make much sense considering how popular he was and all, but whatever.

Also on Santino's Youtube show, HE'S HYSTERICALLY funny on there. I mean, like, really good. WWE should take notice, if they haven't already. Then again if they are letting him train with The Rock, they must trust him pretty good in the ring for starters. Now they just need to trust him outside the ring, which he has proven he's already very capable of doing.

Yep, way to get people to buy the PPV, by spoiling the results of the two biggest matches on the card (I will be happy as hell if I'm wrong)...

buying a ppv? I thought everyone watched it online or had one of them modded digital cable or satellite receivers.

** hasn't paid for any ppv since 2008

If Joseph Park is the 8th worst gimmick and the 1st best gimmick, what does that say about the other 9 best gimmicks

it's kinda funny that the worst promotion seems to have the best tv show

Yep, that's how I found out about the awards, through this Botchamania post...

Everyone's posting the WON 2012 Awards but here's the weird thing:

''Tag Team of the Year: Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian)

Best Gimmick: Joseph Park, Esq.

Best Weekly Television show: TNA Impact Wrestling

Worst Promotion of the Year: Total Nonstop Action Wrestling''

TNA's best year in...years and they still can't catch a break.

Oh, and clock some of the names on the list! Chris Jericho (40/1), John Morrison (50/1), MVP (50/1), Shelton Benjamin (66/1), Road Dogg (200/1), Billy Gunn (200/1). I'll just say according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, one of those names has been confirmed to appear in the rumble alongside another name not listed there, and there has been a rumour going around that John Morrison's appearing too, but that's not confirmed.

Obviously if anyone is stupid enough to bet on this, fingers crossed they're not so stupid that they bet on anyone who isn't John Cena (8/13).
