They need to sort themselves out and fast.

 

It is a real shame because TNA catches onto some great ideas and then they suddenly get dropped. Sometimes because they decide to just change direction, sometimes because they've failed so hard at the basics of business like screwing contract negotiations up.

 

They have flashes of brilliance but sadly that's all it is. They have the potential to be so much more.

 

Saddens me really because WWE and their PG era is complete trash, so there's very little decent wrestling action to be found (on TV at least)

Plans for NXT star Kassius Ohno, f.k.a. Chris Hero, to join the main roster have apparently been put on hold.

 

According to a source, the creative team had a storyline to introduce Ohno this summer. People within the company were impressed with his in-ring skills and his promos, and had asked him to improve his physique while creative worked on his introduction. According to trainers at NXT, Ohno seemed reluctant in the weightlifting and gym sessions, although he continued to receive high marks for his overall attitude and the great effort in his daily in-ring sessions.
 
Word got back to Triple H about Ohno dodging gym time, and he was removed from TV tapings. Ohno has missed two tapings in the past few weeks, and there is said to be increased concern about his status with the company. A lot of people are still high on him, but this could prove to be costly for one of the top prospects in WWE's developmental system.

I haven't watched TNA in a long time (when Hogan took over) and it's a shame how it's been run into the ground. I was just getting ready to give it another shot too. It was around that time that I decided to give WWE another chance but it's just too PG now. Who's the champ? John Cena. Who probably sells the most merchandise? John Cena. Stopped watching it when they started trying to make another Goldberg with Ryback.

 

So, what are Sting and Kurt Angle up to now? Or the Dudley Boyz (3D)?

So, what are Sting and Kurt Angle up to now? Or the Dudley Boyz (3D)?

 

All still in TNA. Sting recently reformed the Main Event Mafia with Kurt Angle and a few others to take on the Aces & Eights (the big heel stable in TNA), who wouldn't look out of place in an episode of Sons of Anarchy. Team 3D broke up a while ago, Bully Ray broke out as a singles star, and over the course of nine months, won the TNA world title, turned heel, revealed himself as president of A&8s (with Devon as the "Sgt. in Arms") and became the biggest heel in the company (not at Jeff Jarrett "King of the Mountain" level, but close).

 

The storyline was faltering until he won the title and revealed "the hoax" in series of short videos which I'd recommend watching: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcovtt7Bdo9PoQayRLfnv2BPcHGXGtx0e

According to ProWrestling.net, Dixie Carter, Jeff Jarrett, TNA CFO Dean Broadhead and EVP Andy Barton were all backstage at last week's Impact Wrestling, and spoke to the entire TNA locker room about possibly continuing with budget cuts, warning everyone that they were still being evaluated.

 

In the meeting, Dixie claimed one of the major reasons for the cuts and restructuring were how much money they spent taping all the One Night Only pay-per-views earlier this year. These shows were pre-recorded in place of the eight pay-per-view events that TNA cut from their annual schedule, in order to save money.

@VinceMcMahon Vince, thank you for your personal welcome back to the WWE Universe. It is noted and appreciated. All the Warriors of Parts Unknown take pride in being one of the original galaxies of the Universe you created. Not one of my days has passed without a flashback to my time in the business and my relationship with you. After 17 years of battling one another, perhaps the stars have finally aligned and Destiny is prepared to tell one of Sports Entertainment?s greatest stories: how two of the industry?s most determined, colorful, intense and explosive personalities brought to life a persona that made such an inspiring impression that it still captures the hearts and minds of fans all over the world, even all these years later. I am proud Ultimate Warrior is an iconic, immortal spirit in the Universe you created. I know, Vince McMahon, you are proud, too. The inhabitants of your WWE Universe believe your personal welcome is an invitation of sorts. If so, consider this my RSVP with one condition. Wisdom takes a seat at the table with us when we meet, but we each also leave unburied a slight edge of the hatchet we?ve carried over the years. that other gutless and heartless God-fearing men urge us to lay to rest forever. Face it, neither one of us were ever any good at being bored or boring others. So coming prepared to kill one another makes for a interesting backup plan. Always Believe, Warrior

Bryan is going to defeat Cena for the title at Summerslam. And win clean.

 

 

then Orton will cash in

 

 

Exactly how I reckon it'll go. Bryan's not gonna win clean without a catch, and the catch will probably be Orton.

**** Orton.

It's the legitimate way of turning Orton heel but making him do the one thing the "Universe" will really hate

Absolutely.  Jericho vs RVD needs to be there as well.  Those 2 matches are some of the best I have seen in quite some time (including PPV matches).

Yeah to me it shows that Cesaro should be doing more than being with "Weed the people" :p

    • RevPDF 4.5.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

      Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) and both trigger the dialog above.
