From what I've read, Roman was meant to face Braun in an ambulance match and lose again, building Strowman for a run with Lesnar. At the same time, Miz was going to win the IC belt and defend it for a bit before going into a program with Miz, so it's just been brought forward due to Braun's injury. With Miz's ability to blend the show / reality aspect of his recent feuds with Cena in-ring and DB outside of it, there could be a lot of potentially hot-fire promos in the run with Reigns.

The only thing?

Hot? Sexy? Something new? If anything "Lana" was cringe, it was her loving-Dolph-wearing-denim phase.

No, it was just a jokey comment because you said "scrapped" (i.e. got rid of the barrel), so my comment was alluding to WWE not getting rid of it and scraping it for someone else. Because the match at Mania is the freshest thing in people's minds and if he loses again at a PPV, he's coming in off two big losses, while he has also lost the majority of his feuds along with losing his Family, so the cult leader aspect of his character is also looking increasingly desperate.

Cringe most definitely isn't the word I'd use. Also, there's been a lot of pushing against the PG limits for quite a while now.

Maybe instead of getting rid of the barrel, they should have scraped the bottom to see if there was anyone else. ;) If Wyatt is going to do battle with Balor, he needs to be coming in to RAW on the back of a big victory and not have his last big moment be the shit-heap of a title match at 'Mania.

You're online dude, just look up the spelling. :lol

"Ali and practice butter" My God, that was hilarious. All the internets to you for highlighting that one.

He does look terrible (both in physique - even for a fat guy - and attire / paint), plus it's disheartening to see TNA are still doing the same shit when someone new debuts like this. They never seem to sell it like a big deal and where there should be "OHMAGORD!"-style pushing of the new monster on the block, he's in the ring and the announcers are coming across as if this is the norm.

In theory, on paper, it was a pretty neat idea (and credit for at least trying something new), but the execution wasn't up to par. The crowd (and the home audience probably) popped for the first one, but Orton didn't really react to it at all (the ref got the fuck out of there though), which hurt things. Also, with Bray losing cleanly and so suddenly ("outta nowhere" - I know), it basically rendered it pointless.

I completely disagree. Roman was in complete control of that crowd (maybe not the content of the chants; I'm sure PG-rated shows aren't meant to have repeated f-bombs by 10,000+ people on a loop), smirking his Samoan arse off, then capped it off with a five-word promo that said EVERYTHING.

Will this be tonight?

From what I've read, the deal has more or less fallen through, but things might pick up after WrestleMania has passed.

We're not just through the looking glass, the looking glass is shattered.

Vince was in a crash outside of WWE HQ earlier today too.

And Easy E will be inducting DDP.

They wouldn't sack her over the pictures; no way (JOSE!) WWE wants the negative publicity of firing the victim of a crime, especially one that could see them in a sexist and / or misogynistic light.

Now hold on a minute, playa; Teddy Long will be inducted by a Tag Team (match) as The APA will be doing the honours.

In a nice piece of continuity, AJ Styles has been moved to the WWE Alumni section on WWE.COM.

Care to explain?

Josh Matthews is unbearable these days.

[spoiler=Heavyweight Championship spoilers]Alberto El Patron made his debut and said he wanted a title shot against Lashley. EC3 (you know, a guy who became a star in TNA*) came out and said that you don't get a title shot by just turning up, but Bruce Pritchard (another ex-WWE guy) made the match anyway and Alberto left with the belt. Of course, this being Impact Wrestling, they couldn't help but mess this up and reports are saying it had a false-finish AND a Dusty Finish to end the taping. *Anthem made a statement saying TNA itself is history and the company is Impact Wrestling only from now on.

This makes me laugh every time I see it; Teddy Long's match selection screen on WWE 2K. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6m4n7vXLe1qgrrqqo1_500.jpg

Now hol' up a minute, playa!!! Teddy Long is the next announced inductee.
