Topic: Wrestling?

Although Sheamus annoyed me to no end when he Cena´d Smackdown for years, I think his wrestling skill is undisputed. The guy is a learner and in pretty good shape too, I am also pretty sure that he took some advice from Cesaro to get better in the ring.

The cheater is always the hero in WWE. Edge and Lita, Hogan and Miss Elizabeth, Cena and Eve Torres. The last one was pretty cruel with a public slut shaming and friend shunning involved, Savage turning heel when Hogan was suggested to be hitting on Miss Elizabeth was beyond stupid in hindsight, and Hardy had every right to go berserk on Edge.

So neither Drew Galloway or the Hardy Boys will stay with TNA. I am not really knowlegeable about the indy circus, but who could be available for TNA now to fill the gap? Magnus? Wade Barett? John Morrison? Young Bucks? Alberto del Rio? Maybe AdR could finally show me then why tapes of him should not be sold against insomnia.

WWE has pretty much anyone else I know under contract.

Anthem is dumb as fuck for letting The Hardys get away. They are pretty much the ONLY reason anybody but the usual die-hards tune into the show.

Wade is still making movies with WWE, I believe. And I recently heard that their talks with ADR have fallen through, he is not coming to TNA.

If the past showed anything, loyality does not run too deep in the wrestling business and is even less often grateful for it. If Anthem opens up their wallets far enough, I guess they will get some guys who people at least know. Maybe Ryback?

Or they really start with completely new folk, although I don´t know how good Mantel and Jarett are in inventing wrestling persona and I am also not sure that a guy who was named "the man that broke 1000 guitars and never drew a dime" even should be doing something like this. But I am also pretty sure that there are enough failed footballers, fitness models, wrestlers, gymnasts or actors who are physically good enough to wrestle. The first year would probably be very rough with this approach, but maybe it could give TNA a new face.

Big props to that crowd for not only chanting CM Punk during Seth's first appearance in weeks, but being silent for near enough every single thing that actually did deserve a chant. What is the honest point in paying for a ticket just to be as silent as you would if you were watching at home?

Maybe there was not much too chant?
*Braun Strowman vs Roman Reigns is just bad. A soso wrestler and talker meets a meh wrestler and talker that happens to be big. It was telling that alone the name of Roman Reigns caused people to boo in an otherwise nearly silent promo.
*Cesaro jobbing for Joe. There is reaction in the audience whenver Cesaro shows what he is capable off, but he is clearly the built up guy.
*Handicap match aka the burial of the shinning stars at the hands of a Braun Strowman lookalike Big Show. I guess it is much louder on the ISS than in that arena in this match until the end. Can you really blame people for that?

To be fair, lackluster show with little to chant for. I'm just bitter with how they treated Seth.
