Yeah, WrestletalkTV is the stuff I watch on Youtube since obviously I can't watch BBC here in the US directly.

 

And its been so long since I've watched anything TNA related - god could have shown up and I wouldn't have known (unless someone posted about it here :D)

I think we will see him one more time. Maybe. If WWE puts him in the HOF, certainly one more run. If not, who knows.

I think so too. He said multiple times that he wishes to have at least one more match for his son who never saw him wrestle. But the only thing that's keeping him from returning to WWE is the financial agreement. I'm guessing they would've come to terms with him a long time ago, but something tells me Vince is the one that doesn't give the final yes. If it were up to HHH alone, Goldberg would be at WM32 to secure that attendance record they're seeking. How awesome it would be if they would recreate Goldberg's WWE debut (you know, with The Rock) at WM32? :)

Quick heads-up: NJPW's Wrestle Kingdom 10 is on tomorrow. Basically the WrestleMania of the rest of the world; WK9 kicked off last year on a high, made quite a few end-of-year lists, as well as having one of three 5* matches of 2015 - all of which were at NJPW events - and it'll almost certainly be the same story this year.

 

 

They're gonna have English commentary again this year, but the event will only be on TV in Japan this time around; everyone else has to watch it online through NJPW World. There's no Jim Ross (or "Global Force Wrestling 'presents'") this time, either; Kevin Kelly's doing the play-by-play instead with Matt Striker again on colour commentary, plus Yoshitatsu's gonna be translating. ROH is getting involved a bit more than just on commentary, too; their world title's being defended on the show, and the Briscoe Brothers are involved in NJPW's first ever 6-man tag team title match.

AJ Styles (and Shinsuke Nakamura, Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson) have all signed with WWE according to Wrestlezone.

Good timing if true, seeing as they launched the WWE network in Japan today, too. I'm assuming it's true with at least Styles, since he got kicked out of the Bullet Club (literally) the day after WK10...

Apparently all of AJ Styles' upcoming ROH appearances have been cancelled, meanwhile the other three are still booked with ROH until February.

 

Quote

According to F4WOnline.com, WWE has signed New Japan Pro Wrestling stars AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson.

 

All four men reportedly informed NJPW, prior to Wrestle Kingdom 10 late last night, that they would be leaving the promotion.

 

Karl Anderson was reportedly negotiating a deal with TNA, however he decided to drop those negotiations when the WWE deal offer came in.

 

As for Ring of Honor, Anderson, Gallows and Nakamura are all expected to finish out their remaining February dates with ROH, but Styles is likely finished with ROH as of this writing.

Royal Rumble debut for AJ Styles?

I doubt they'd have AJ debut at the RR, though for us it would be awesome if they did. He'll go to NXT, have some great matches, get called up to the main roster, and get buried until he gives up and either quits the company or lets his contract expire without reupping.

In slightly better news for TNA, they're making their debut on yet another TV channel in America (POP) tonight, which means it's a live episode, so it should be a good one (fingers crossed). Apparently, James Storm's returning...

As much as I marked out big time for that news, I am kinda puzzled how they would fit in PG-13 WWE, not only with the King of Strong/Swag Style Nakamura who Boma-Yes his knee in the face of opponents but also with Styles and the Styles Clash.

There have been two broken necks with the Styles Clash, this is something that is difficult to sweep under the rug.

 

One heel stable, Devitt/Nakamura/Styles/Anderson/Gallows, sounds redundant with the Wyatt family or too much like a Shield 2.0.

We will see what happens.

 

Still, the WK 10 Styles/Nakamura match was really five stars. That brofist at the end .... Squeeeeeeeeeee!

      So.... slower fixes and slower security updates are preferred? I mean, there is no goldilocks zone here until it can literally update without ever needing a restart, and even then I'm sure someone would complain.
