you know i really want to give TNA a chance because of aries and bully ray and the strong roode push
but that card for the biggest PPV in their history is atrocious
aries vs. joe and the daniels/kaz vs. aj/angle match are good
but devon/garrett vs. robbie e/robbie t? hernandez vs. kid kash? bully ray vs. abyss' non-wrestler brother? why are these matches happening on this ppv and not sunday night heat?

To be fair, the only thing surprising about devon vs. robbie e at this point is that they announced the match before the card.
And you do know Joseph Park IS Abyss right?

I started playing WWE 12 again today on a whim. I went into WWE Universe mode and had my character interfere in a Sheamus vs Kane opener to protest not being in the #1 Contender's Match (indeed, my character ranks last because he is new-ish and doesn't get booked much). I laid them both out with finishers, and then I got this when I came back to the menu.
Also my character has shot up the rankings.
I retired Sheamus! (For now.)
This was hilariously unexpected. I didn't even know that could happen. Monster push a-go-go.

From: edwardsdv | #259 And you do know Joseph Park IS Abyss right? yes, but he's not be booked as abyss
is a casual fan more likely to buy a ppv if the main event is randy orton vs. john cena or randy orton vs. jeff cena?
you're taking whatever marketing potential abyss has and tossing it for a relatively stupid angle
and while we know that joseph park is actually abyss and knows how to wrestle, he's portraying a character that doesn't know how to wrestle, and thus the match will suck

And Abyss is involved in the angle and I do think the match will at least be amusing. Youre a chikara fan, surely you see the value in that.

see, i disagree with this if they go the route of Abyss was really just playing Bully and TNA in general. he did this so that he could have Bully in a match and will proceed to beat the hell out of him as soon as the reveal is made that Abyss is in the arena... and the spotlight shines on Park.
it's pretty much the only way this angle works.

You know, Christian's promo where he explains why he's a face now is actually pretty good and makes a pretty good measure of sense. A little bit late on the explanation, but it was still a pretty solid one.

The UWF (Bill Watts)/Mid South Wrestling tape libraries are now under WWE ownership.
What 'major' promotion tape libraries are left? The various Memphis promotions (discounting Memphis Championship Wrestling)?
Came here to post this. This is quite a coup for wrestling geeks.
Obviously the most significant tape libraries that WWE doesn't own belong to organizations that are still alive. <_<
But yeah I'd say the CWA and USWA tape libraries are now the top dead companies they don't own the library of, which in the case of the USWA is kind of ironic considering the co-operation between WWE and USWA at the time of the latter's existence.

From: Rad Link 5 | #289 Daniel Bryan is going to compete for both world titles at the PPV.
He is on the poster, after all. And there's seriously no one left at this point. Ziggler literally wrestled Sheamus twice in two weeks. Why not a third time?

From: edwardsdv | #292 Ziggler literally wrestled Sheamus twice in two weeks. Why not a third time? I forgot he existed, but with all the injuries and suspensions, and Big Show, Kane, and Daniel Bryan all occupied elsewhere, I... guess he's the biggest heel available?

That sounds stupid. I'm pretty sure the idea is that we know Joseph Park is Abyss, but he doesn't. Remember the other week when he was acting surprised at his own strength? Expect the match to be like that, with him acting shocked as he does more and more Abyss stuff until finally he remembers that he is Abyss.

#1 contender battle royal, final 2 of Ziggler and Swagger. Ziggler expects Swagger to just throw himself out for him, Swagger refuses, Ziggler still wins.
At ppv, Swagger costs Ziggler the title either blatantly or by being incompetent, depending on who they want the face to be for Ziggler vs. Swagger.
