General Wrestling Discussion

If it were me, I would have Cena win the belt after interference from Rock and hold it as a heel until SummerSlam where ideally you have a babyface you really want to elevate pin him. I'm not sure if they have someone like that in line, but you could slot Punk or even Roman into that spot too. I think you need to have that interference at Mania and not have John beat him clean to protect Cody and keep the door open for a potential Rock match.
 
If JR would bring up Borga's tattoo, what about the Harris Twins? I never hear anyone bring that up. Only thing he and Corny brings up is the beatdown of HBK or Booker and Stevie Ray making quips about their heads.
Would there be an episode with the Harris Twins someday? Maybe the beat down of Shawn?
 
A non-insignificant portion of Roman stans in the IWC are ‘Jeets for some reason.

I read somewhere (forgot where) that the reason Indians are really into Roman is because they are that simpleminded. When Vince presented Roman as the big dawg that never lost Indians were like "shit, I guess this guy IS the guy because he never loses! Go Roman!". The fact that he looks like one of the more presentable pajeets only adds to it.
 
did Pentagon Jr ever show up in any of the Impact India promotional materials? like those weird webcomics they made?
tbh I've seen little evidence he ever made a blip on the radar there :heart-empty:
 
Watching the WWE Vault release of the 'Taker V Haich Wrestlemania X-7 match, I was a little surprised to see the WWF branding on full display. I recall back in the Home Video days, they had to blur that shit all the way up to the turnbuckles. I wonder what changed?

Probably as simple as the new ownership not being assholes like Vince and paying the World Wildlife Fund a little bit to be allowed to use it.

Even when the name change was forced on Vince, they were given the option to simply pay a small royalty to be allowed to use the WWF branding on existing material, but Vince refused to do it, as he saw it as giving in.

This is wrong. They added the branding back in 2011 or 2012 when WWE made an agreement where they’re allowed to show it in old footage but they couldn’t use the logo in any new footage which is why it gets blurred out in video game footage since that’s considered “new footage”.

I think they worked out a deal to allow the use of the old logos and name in archival footage sometime before the WWE Network launched. Some of the early network stuff still had blurred logos, because they just threw the DVDs up on there.

Looks like the rumors about Jeff Cobb already being signed by WWE are bullshit because he just won the IWGP tag belts with Callum Newman.

Generally if you don't see a NJPW guy leave within the first couple of months of a new year then they aren't going anywhere because Japanese contracts tend to run January to January.
