TNA cultists will spin this as a new lease on life for the company when it seems like they just want Billy to go away.

I really don't get the "Joe is past his prime" talk. Maybe if you're basing it off the end of his TNA run when he was phoning it in at Kevin Nash levels, but his NXT run has been pretty awesome.

He wasn't that nuanced on Twitter, at least not until a million people jumped on him trying to play the "disrespect the military" card when he was famously AWOL from same said military.

Re Randy's tweets: basically All Lives Matter, and Kaep is a traitor. It's not anything any worse than you hear from the Uncle you don't want to get stuck sitting next to at Thanksgiving, but a public figure working for a publicly traded company should be smarter than that.

It's doubly stupid because a yearly PPV kills the special attraction aspect of the cell, and PG eliminates any of the violence that made it a memorable match in the first place. Not that I want to see Foley cage bumps or HBK blade jobs in every cell match, but with the current landscape it's just a regular match with the cage around it. Even if the feud was super heated there's nothing special about it anymore.

Speaking of wrestlers on Twitter, Randy Orton has gone on several tangents the last few weeks on things like Black Lives Matter and the Colin Kaepernick anthem protests. You can probably guess his views on those, the latter of which was especially ironic considering his history of going AWOL from the military (which people were quick to point out to him).

That Twitter gif was taken out of context from a video on WWC's Facebook page of Alberto and Paige celebrating. He grabbed her by the throat to bring her in for a kiss.

To be fair to the women, since they started running HIAC as a yearly show has there been any matches that really warranted being in a cell? I can't think of any off the top of my head.

I love what I've seen wrestling wise of Stampede, but the TV is hard to watch with matches always being JIP and Ed Whalen being the worst commentator ever.

I don't think they can help it. Half of it is Vince wanting to make Steph seem like a trailblazer and half seems to be them trying to prove to sponsors they don't treat women as shitty as they did in the Attitude era.

It's going to be so weird to watch the internet continue to act like the audience doesn't remember Goldberg as this feud goes on. It's like people want to dislike this so bad and won't even consider the possibility that there's a a really good chance they'll have a fun brawl full of plunder at the PPV.

The latest Legends episode is up with Bruno, and it's still kind of surreal seeing him on WWE TV in 2016. It's not really too different than the times he would go on with Dave and Bryan, but it's nice to see it reaching a bigger audience.

They did a really good job with the video packages all throughout the show to tell people even if you never saw WCW this Goldberg guy is a big deal. He cut probably the best promo of his career, and it helped that he seemed caught off guard at how big a reaction he got.

Yeah it's been lost in all of the drama Paige created for herself, but Alberto's a piece of shit in all this too. Remember he was sneaking around on his wife until the photos of him and Paige holding hands became public.

Techinically she probably could but WWC has long been affiliated with WWE. This would be another one of those cases where they'd be within their rights to do something but would come off as huge dicks if they did.

Honestly CM Punk has been one of the best Twitter follows for a while, between his ongoing feud with the LA Kings' mascot (both give and take pretty well) and his replies to dummies who try to take pot shots at him. Foley's displayed creepy behavior prior to Twitter, and this latest development has had people mentioning he likes to slide into the DMs of female fans.

That would actually not be a bad storyline to have Asuka destroy some random Performance Center girl and have Sara come out of retirement to defend her.

Well Tyson, Ronda, and Goldberg all went out and destroyed their opponents as quickly as possible. No one wanted to see any of them have long competitive matches either.

It's also as equally fucking clear that unless they have Ember disembowel Peyton Royce in the middle of the ring and jump rope with her entrails she's going to be another opponent not seen as much of a threat to actually beat Asuka.

They've already established she's the best, to the point that it takes the heat off of her matches now since crowds don't seem to buy she's ever in any real jeopardy. Yeah it will be cool that Mickie puts her over and all, but it's back to the uphill battle of building anyone up to the level of posing a threat.

I'm sure the actual match will be good, but it just screams "no one on our current roster is good enough so we had to get someone from the past".

I'm wondering if the footage they show from (I'm assuming) the auditorium in Birmingham has shown up anywhere in a fuller form?

She has the problem Ronda had for a while where you don't really buy that anyone she's put up against actually has a chance. It's like they did too good a job building her up as a wrecking machine and now we're supposed to believe that the current crop of fresh-out-of-the-PC girls can hang with her.

That must be what was alluded to when it was mentioned fraud was involved.

Dave mentioned part of the reason Billy is filing the lawsuit the way he did would be to freeze the talent contracts so he has a chance to be able to pay the guys if/when he gets control.
