also I might actually go to the Rumble to see Finn win

 

As much as I'd love a Cena heel turn, I can see why it would be a good thing if it never happened. The man is the face of the company and the casual audience adore him in a way that they could never adore a heel. Plus, the man has like the record for most make make-a-wishes granted, so he obviously cares about that deeply, and even though it would be better for his career to remembered with a heel turn I cant imagine it being easy to disappoint all those kids who still believe kayfabe.

 

I don't think Cena needs a heel turn at all. I just meant something to show that he's needing to reach further into his bag of tricks than he has had to in the last ten years or so in order to keep up with the "New Era" guys. More wily veteran than heel. Like, if Cena won his 16th title off of a rollup, maybe with a handful of tights, that would literally be enough to be considered controversial for him haha.

 

Eh, he was posting about how thrilled he is for the Tag Team tournament and Takeover Toronto two days ago. I feel like this is in regards to something non-wrestling related.

 

Here's what I got for the ROH ppv tonight. The tag team stuff was hard to call because what I want them to do is different than the shitty thing that I think they'll do, which is set up ANX for a tag title match against a babyface team at Final Battle.

Adam Cole (c) vs Michael Elgin for the ROH World title
The Addiction (c) vs The Young Bucks vs MCMG in Ladder War VI for the ROH Tag Team titles
Bobby Fish (c) vs Donovan Dijak for the ROH TV title
Jay Lethal vs Tetsuya Naito
Kyle O'Reilly vs Hangman Page
The Briscoes and Toru Yanu vs Kushida, ACH, and Jay White in the first round the ROH Six Man Tag Team title tournament
All Night Express vs Keith Lee and Shane Taylor vs War Machine vs Colt Cabana and Dalton Castle in a four way elimination tag match for the #1 contendership to the ROH Tag Team titles
Kamaitachi vs Dragon Lee
EVIL vs Silas Young vs Will Ferrara

Surprised they didn't just add the new Kingdom to the number one contenders match. Any rumors on who Taven is gonna be grouped with anyway?

 

All Night Express are soooo bad. Let that gimmick die.

 

All Night Express just went too long. Should've stayed at midnight /badjoke

 

Wow I thought I did terrible on the last card lol

Can you send me the belt?

 

Jesus

According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, Jamie Noble was stabbed two times early Wednesday morning inside of a trailer park and is currently hospitalized. Noble was returned home after a WWE event (he’s a producer/agent for WWE), and went out to get a snack. When he got back to his home, a driver pulled in behind him and claimed Noble cut him off on the road. Noble reportedly apologized, they argued and fought to the ground. Two other men got out of the man’s car, and one reportedly stabbed Noble twice, once in the upperback and one in the mid-back/spine area.

EMTs were called, and noble was taken to the hospital for treatment. As of this writing, Noble is still hospitalized and WWE is aware of the situation.

 

Jeez, hope he recovers well.

He should move into Heath Slater's mobile home park for backup in case it happens again

 

In the mid-back, spine area?

What in the fuck, intent to paralyze is insidious.

So is this a precursor to hornswaggle to come back?

 

you were pretty average. Everyone got either the divas or tag match completely wrong (many both) and that + best of 7 nonsense was a lot of wasted points. I was like 4th then 2nd respectively on these, but your first ppv was good enough to boost you.

 

I wonder what kind of storyline we are going to get for Survivor Series. I'd guess they'll build some sort of team SD v team Raw SS match, right? But none of the big names would be in it because of title matches. So I don't know how they'd make that interesting.

 

Just put a massive cash prize on it. Screw it lol.

 

We'll probably get a midcard one and a women's one knowing WWE

 

Winning team gets to take one non-champion from the losing side?

 

That would be a dope way to make it interesting/get cesaro off Raw.

 

Cody Rhodes is playing a character named Garrett Runnels on Arrow. lol Garrett is his middle name.

 

But you know they'd make the Raw team win haha

 

Per the press release I just got from WWE, Royal Rumble this year will be 30 men and include both Raw and SmackDown talent.

 

Confirmed for SA?
