A lot of people dislike Quack, and i've heard a lot of the stories about how quirky he is and some of the spats he's had with people, but I always find him fascinating to listen to, and I think he's a well spoken, intelligent guy.

Did they seriously split up Team Rhodes Scholars? Just get rid of the tag team division altogether now

And it looks like they could start a Swagger push as well........

[Warner2BruceTD]

Swagger looks like he hasn't been to a gym or a tanning booth since they last pushed him.

Do they keep these people in packing styrofoam in between pushes?

You might be correct, the only problem I see is the facial hair he's got going on, which they could have taken from Danielson. No one would ever know.

They need to make Jack Swagger a super patriotic face and have him feud with Cesaro

I hope this is not the case, but I've seen it rumored that Ziggler could get a WHC match or be in the Chamber and end up winning, then throwing away the briefcase saying he doesn't need it anymore. Then, Jericho comes into possession of the briefcase and takes the title from Zigger. That's as far as I've heard the rumor. Further speculation from me is that he drops the belt to The Ryback at Wrestlemania. Dumb to waste all of this time building Ziggler on that, but it's par for the course for WWE.

LOL, that was Pills fantasy booking a few pages back in this thread.

I think Pills stole it from somewhere because some kid on my facebook fan group said the same thing

I've seen it elsewhere. A friend of mine told me about it and I'll see if he can send me the source/link again

What's funny, and also sad, about TNA is that they had shots at all these Indy guys before WWE did for the most part. CM Punk and Claudio and Tyler Black and Moxley. Not sure about Danielson. But the WWE has done a better job of being an alternative to the WWE than TNA has, if that makes any sense. They've smartly scooped up a lot of historically non-WWE guys, and sprinkled them in seamlessly with their "entertainers" like Ryback and Orton.

They have very very bad scouting.

TNA should have scooped the majority of these Indy guys up a LONG time ago.

They should have Gargano, should have hired Generico, they should bring in Elgin, they should bring in the Briscoes, Adam Cole, Sami Callihan, hell...I'd bring in Steen, too, looking like shit or not. Bring in AR Fox, Uhaa Nation...

I mean, TNA should just be scooping guys up.

Instead they bring in Mike Knox, Wes Brisco, Tommy Mercer, and other bums with no upside to business.

TNA should embrace the Indie scene...be that bridge from Indies to the mainstream...bring your gimmick, too...no need to have a name change.

While I agree that TNA failed to exploit the robust indie scene while WWE was ignoring it and hiring guys like Mason Ryan, let's also remember that at least some of those guys would have never went to TNA anyway. Some would have, but others have turned them down in the past, figuring the money isn't any better in some cases, plus you get that TNA stench on you that is hard to rub off sometimes.

So what happens with guys like Kurt Angle who came to TNA to avoid the hectic travel schedule now that they are hitting the road?

The travel isn't even close.

Plus, the guys who really don't want to hit the road have limited dates in their deals.

And in the case on Angle, WWE dropped him because they were scared he was gonna turn up dead in a hotel room with an empty bottle of pills next to the bed.

To be fair, Angle was probably well on his way to that ending at that point.

There is a ton of Indie talent...if they can hit on 1/3 they would be better off.

They basically got Joe, Aries, Daniels, and Styles. Basically, guys the WWE thought were too fat, too small, too old, and a guy that doesnt care the WWE exists.

The WWE got everyone else.
