JobberJoe 108 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Sad and happy to hear about Pope. He deserves better so I'm glad he'll almost certainly end up getting it, just sad that it won't be in a wrestling ring. Glad, most of all, that the Joe stuff will be winding up. Thank goodness. Thank, thank goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest John Hancock Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Glad, most of all, that the Joe stuff will be winding up. Thank goodness. Thank, thank goodness. Don't worry, they'll find another way to make Joe look absolutely ridiculous soon enough. He's like the Jim Ross of TNA; ridiculously talented, loved by fans, but someone, somewhere, is absolutely dedicated to making him look like an idiot every week.

ViciousPrism 177 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Over the past week, the fact the US and IC titles have a lack of nameplates is disappointing. Yeah, it's a minor thing but dammit I want my nameplates!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Beltster Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I remember when belts didnt have name plates barring the NWA/WCW belt....I hate name plates on belts, its shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsrchris 190 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 No Pope?? Damn, TNA just lost a guy who should've been a major player. Oh well, it's their own stupid fault, and from the sounds of it they need someone like Pope more than Pope needs them. Just...no Pope...*sigh* :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jimmy Redman Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 WWE will produce TVs in Mexico City this fall which has been on the drawing board from quite some time. -- JR's Blog For anyone wondering after it was discussed in the Mistico announcement thread.

Guest John Hancock Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 That could be a lot of fun. Definitely going to watch those shows, Mexican crowds have atmosphere like no where else in the world when they like something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frank Botch Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 The old lady fans in Mexico are awesome: http://thecubsfan.com/gif/20110319aaa_match5.gif This would probably be frowned upon by WWE though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaolinHandLock 73 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 WWE will produce TVs in Mexico City The way that's worded, it makes it sound like the WWE will manufacture TV sets in Mexico. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC 536 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I hope they run RAW and Smackdown from the Arena Mexico; that crowd are something else and Sin Cara should get a monster reception into the bargain. Plus, as a bonus, there's a slim chance some of the resident luchadores could get on the show too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The GS Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 WWE doesn't even bring in local talents to wrestle anymore. It'd be security at best they'd be playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest John Hancock Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 It'll be a shame if they don't. They could probably get some great talent showing up just for the chance to wrestle Mistico. Talking of Mistico, how many "Mistico" signs do you think are going to get confiscated from the crowd during the Smackdown taping? It's going to be absolutely ridiculous. It's like if Steve Austin was booked for a match in Madison Square Garden, but now you have to call him Billy Bumkins, there'd still be Steve Austin signs and merchandise EVERYWHERE, and we all now WWE's weird autism about anyone seeing or hearing anything on their shows that isn't EXACTLY, to a tee, what they want you to see or hear.

Guest Jimmy Redman Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 WWE announced today that the former Bragging Rights PPV is now called Uprising. So presumably the SD vs Raw concept is history and its just a PPV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etz 78 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 WWE announced today that the former Bragging Rights PPV is now called Uprising. So presumably the SD vs Raw concept is history and its just a PPV. Good, being so close to Survivor Series, Bragging Rights was stupid because it pretty much screwed a logical Raw v SD survivor series match.
