I agree with that. No malice intended, just extremely poor wording caused by a 140-character limit. Twitter's good for jokes, insults, and
triggering freak outs. And not much else.
You know, everyone says it's not supposed to make sense, like that's the whole point, dude. And I'm just saying, you know,
that's like an excuse for lazy storytelling. Just don't sell me shite and tell me it's gold, all right? I might be stoned, but
I'm not high. You know what I mean?

I think it's the "handling of brother Nero" part that probably seemed a bit too much like a plug... but that's twitter though
isn't it? You link to whomever... I personally say cut the guy a break; I try not to react until I see the follow up post, and Matt made his
intentions very clear that he wasn't plugging a show, just offering people an escape from what is no doubt a tough time for many.

Not sure what TNA triggers anymore but it certainly isn't excitement.
* HHH is in what could be final negotiations with the remnants of the official NWA to acquire the Paul Boesch Houston Wrestling archive for WWE.
It's the last significant archive from a defunct promotion that's outside of WWE's control. Judging from the attached article there
are a lot of goodies in there, including matches with Jake Roberts and Sean Michaels before they made the leap to WWF.

not rocket science, except to self-absorbed people like Matt Hardy who don't stop to think for five seconds before hitting the submit button. Of
course it's not malicious, just moronic.

passed away on Sunday at age 49

I made these jokes on my dumb podcast but since I assume none of you listen (understandably) the lead singer of the Smashing Pumpkins and TNA is a
pairing that makes perfect sense.
"1979" is roughly where you can find Pop TV on most cable packages.
"Bullet With Butterfly Wings" sounds like a rejected idea Jeff Hardy had for a gimmick.
"Zero" is a number that represents the amount of people still watching TNA.
"Tonight, Tonight" is when TNA will probably finally die off for good.

According to Dave, WWE is quickly scouring what former stars are available as they just realized they don't have enough talent to fill out two
rosters.
Hope EC3 makes his way back.

I don't think the bridge between Cody and WWE is too badly burned to be repairable eventually, but I would imagine it's too raw of a wound
on both sides for us to see him back in the immediate future. Sandow, on the other hand, will hopefully get a phone call.
They're all aging, but MVP and Shelton Benjamin are both out there doing nothing noteworthy. Brian Kendrick's involvement in the
cruiserweight tournament could easily transition into a full-time gig. He wasn't any kind of huge star in his cup of coffee with them but I
recall Low-Ki leaving on decent terms and I know his ego tends to trip him up but he could be a really valuable contributor now with a ton of guys his
own size getting good pushes and being good match-ups for him. EC3 and Drew McIntyre seem like no brainers to rescue from TNA.
But I doubt they're going to recruit too heavily outside of the company if they can figure out how to just draft Roman Reigns to both shows

Just a thought; but at least on one brand, why not bring back the local jobbers (or mid level Indy guys) a bit for a match a night... It'd be a
good way to introduce someone into the mix, and really... maybe the depth isn't there in the way we want, but we're talking about the
hockey equivalent of fourth liners that they are looking for... yeah you want the guys who can play higher in the line up, but they already have some
of that there who just need an opportunity to see what they can do... the five minute match guys don't need to be filled by bigger names
who'd be wasted.
I've always thought that the Wyatt family thing could have been used in this way.... you could have your core 3-4 guys, but just have a whole
compound worth of jobbers and others that would make the family, and thus Bray, seem like a much bigger deal.

If it's true, then quickly bring back Sandow. He's over, he's not burning bridges, and he wasn't asking for a release.

I don't know if it's a bit of spin doctoring or not, but Sandow gave an interview last week where he said about a month before getting
released he had actually asked for some time off.
There was also word going around at the time of his release that Sandow's release was simply because they didn't have anything for him,
and not due to any kind of backstage issue.
So it wouldn't surprise me to see Sandow back, but I think for all parties involved some time away from one another might not be the worst idea.
Sandow can recharge and tackle whatever side projects he might want to scratch off his list, and the WWE can work on coming up with something for him
while the whole comedic/jobber stink goes away.
If we are throwing names out there for possible calls the WWE might make; how about John Morrison (age 36)... I know he wasn't much on the
mic' but if they offered him a bit of a part time contract so he can continue to do his straight to DVD knock off movies he could do worse for
some entertaining mid-card matches. Although Lucha Underground is probably working well for him
I can't confirm this, but word was that Chris Masters (age 33) actually got pretty decent in the ring... or at least far above the they brought
him in too young and pushed him too hard version that we got when he first started out. If he has improved, then he's still young enough that he
could be better than just a jobber with an occasional TV match.
Joey Ryan is another Lucha guy, but he seemed to be on the WWE's radar not too long ago working a bunch of try out matches for them.

I just read this, and it made my day. Especially Angle. I truly don't care what kind of backstage nonsense comes with any of this or the
Internet backlash for pushing these guys would be. Every one of them listed would result in my reaction ranging from, "Ha! They brought that guy
back? Funny." to "Holy Shit! Fuck yeah!"

Vince more often than not has missed the target when it comes to having his finger on the pulse of what trends tend to blow up in WWE. Dunno though,
maybe if he came back it could be da bomb, yo.

Angle and American Alpha vs The New Day would be fucking incredible. Throwing J Hardy into that report doesn't let me fully entertain the
thoughtthough. I don't see WWE ever bringing him back for more than very few appearances and eventual HOF induction.
