So Kacy Catanzaro from American Ninja Warrior is joining WWE. She is already a very popular female athlete and basically perfect for Steph's Women's Revolution hype.

Is there any chance they actually give her enough time to train and become a good wrestler before bringing her to the main roster and pushing her? Cause I feel like there isn't.

I really don't look forward to Kacy with 3-4 months of wrestling training/experience being pushed to the title over everyone. I fully expert her to come out as Bayley's new friend at some point and immediately be pushed in front of Bayley as the contender.

WWE Game of Thrones sounds amazing so...

Anyway, Ring of Honor caught my attention as bizarre until I saw TNA. WTF?

They usually toss those in these surveys. NJPW is in there too.

They just want to see if there's SO much interest in those companies that they might be worth buying.

So basically that's your best chance of ever getting the Broken Universe

Demand TNA on the Network in such numbers that it makes sense for them to buy the company, with the creative licenses coming along for the ride.

See, the smart thing to do would be to buy all the good foreign promotions, but leave TNA intact just so you have a really shitty competitor that makes you look even better

I feel Football is probably generally worse than all but the most stupid garbage wrestling on the concussion end, as even with the protective gear you're taking a lot worse "bumps" and I feel like wrestling's worst in the US has probably settled in that regard.

Guess we'll see though. I mean if you're a football fan yeah probably gonna be traumatic either way-- kinda think the worst of wrestling is behind us though.

At some point, these companies need to let their performs know that they are participating at their own risk and they are paid that heavily to account for those risks. Like with Oil rig workers.

I played football for a very long time and if you don't know those risks going in then there is another problem.

The GFW Amped shows taped in 2015 but which never found a TV deal are being aired monthly as cheap PPVs.

BUT they have new commentary presenting it as modern

Which forces them to flat out lie in situations like this...

You also STARTED playing when you were like 9 and had no way of knowing the risks.

Even when I quit it was over injuries to my knees not potential head trauma

Asuka is fucked.

She's full nerd asian that has a past of dancing in schoolgirl outfits, Dunn and Vince appear to still hate east asians in general. She's thicker than Mickie James who got the full fat shaming treatment and her english is in that zone where any opponent can be condescending with main roster writing.

Triple H's blessing means nothing, hello Cruiserweights.

He didn't really go to bat for AJ, Joe and Braun and those guys have been pretty much the best acts this year.

His only real success has been Kevin Owens. He's also too busy trying to court Ronda to care about the old cool toy.
