NJPW workers going to WWE?

IIRC when WWE tried to sign Styles years ago he said that he didn't want to be with them because of how their product was too vulgar

Was there any time in its existence when TNA had the more family friendly product than WWE?

[KrisZ]

I agree.....but Sting used to say the same thing the early years after WCW was bought out as well.

Well it's more percption than reality. WWE vulgar stuff made headlines. TNA flew under the radar. So for the majority of people the WWE was more vulgar.

I hope that Styles is promptly assigned a gimmick and given months of skits to get him over a la Million Dollar Man, Mr. Perfect etc.

 

Maybe Tax Tips with AJ Styles.

Go troll somewhere else.

Not months, but weeks of videos leading to his debut in the Rumble and him looking good and getting eliminated by someone setting up a Mania feud.

 

AJ vs Sheamus would rule.

I see Styles winning the IC title at Mania in some sort of clusterfuck ladder match (he will do at least 10 pele kicks in the match too), sparking a collective throwing up of hands that will be audible on internet message boards. Styles will be the latest "the guy" to bring the belt back to its proper prestige and they will feature it on Smackdown more, cycling in NXT guys and the Owens and Ambrose of the main roster as their way of elevating it. Somewhere along the line everything will go south as Vince gets in the mood to put the belt on Seamus for zero reason.

 

I just feel like maybe if I type it out it wont happen.

 

Does Nakamura speak enough English to get by on NXT? I honestly don't know. I imagine that will be his biggest hurdle. As much as I love the dream booking that is thrown around all over of Heyman representing him, that obviously isn't happening on NXT and might even be dicey on the main roster.

No matter how this ends up, Finn Balor trolling people on Twitter is the best thing in wrestling right now. After numerous hashtag tweets, he posted a photo of himself holding the door open at the Performance Center wearing a Bullet Club shirt looking at his watch saying "they should have been here by now".

[Timbo Slice]

I think it's actually very cool that WWE is in the mold of trolling people in this way because they do a pretty dang good job of swerving people on arrival times and such nowadays. Will make the timeframe these guys arrive look pretty interesting.

Any chance Nakamura doesn't pass the physical? That shoulder of his has been fucked for years. He's popped that thing out so many times. Plus I can think of at least 2 or 3 matches where I saw him get legitimately knocked out.

[Johnny Sorrow]

I thought Styles turning them down was about not wanting to move as his wife was settled into a career somewhere at the time.

TNA is claiming on their website that they had a deal in place with Styles, Gallows, and Anderson and that they all backed out. I would need to see a copy of said agreement as well as video of all 3 wrestlers agreeing to said contract to believe that shit.
