^ Well, that would mean that basically every single useful talent TNA has ever had would be in WWE.

There's still a fair few useful TNA talents that haven't yet abandoned ship - not counting the ones who've already been in WWE, like Kurt Angle, Gail Kim, EC3, Mr. Anderson, Drew Galloway and Awesome Kong - Bobby Roode, The Wolves, Abyss, Eric Young, and whatever's left of the X Division besides the one-off appearances from indy guys. Speaking of the indies, there's still a lot of former TNA guys floating around; ROH alone have got AJ Styles, Bad Influence The Addiction, Jay Lethal, Kenny King, and The Young Bucks (Nigel McGuinness, too, but his time in TNA was pretty forgettable); and obviously there's the ones who jumped ship to GFW.

Just Angle from that list. Rest are nothing special.

While I'm watching NXT Takeover Respect (which, as usual, is pretty bloody good), TNA's announced how they're trying to dig their world title out of the hole they buried it in...

 

To paraphrase a bunch of comments I've seen, "Wait, TNA still have 32 wrestlers?" Turns out they do have at least 32, if you count the Knockouts, which they are, as surprisingly, they're being included in this series. They've only revealed half of the competitors so far...

• Ethan Carter III
• Kenny King
• Drew Galloway
• Gail Kim
• Mr. Anderson
• Crazzy Steve
• Rockstar Spud
• Madison Rayne
• Austin Aries
• Jay Bradley Aiden O'Shea
• Bram
• Awesome Kong
• Mahabali Shera
• Grado
• Brooke
• Bobby Lashley

Too much LOL

And now for something completely different: Hornswoggle falling over at Curt Hawkins' Brian Myers' wedding...

[DuckTale]

I think Roman / Bray are going to deliver in their HITC match. They really need to...

Looks like WWE are going with the kayfabe storyline and pairing Rusev up with Lana again. I thought they'd just ignore the real life news that Lana and Rusev got engaged, especially considering the way the storyline has progressed so far! Summer only proposed last week! Oh WWE...
