And so ends the Prime Time Playerz.

They ever hold the tag belts?

Gotta love Derrville still rocking the Aces & Eights logo on his Twitter.

Kinda sad how 2012 seemed like a year of change at Impact Wrestling, you saw them not rely on former WWE guys. Austin Aries was champ. Then Aces & Eights happened.

Bully Ray had a late-career surge until the Aces and 8s. Then anything they did was white noise. Anything the company does anymore is...

Wade Keller:

"Randy Orton, by the way, is kind of in the doghouse right now for some stuff backstage, which I'll get more details and publish later on, but...the odds are pretty strong Randy does not have the belt coming out of Elimination Chamber.

I think they know they can't do Batista-Orton, and because of the backstage stuff: basically, Orton being disgruntled and expressing it. I want to at least narrow it down from being some wild rumors other than that. He's on the shit list and probably not going to be in that top-top spot, so who knows where Orton ends up."

After all of these years, Orton still cannot handle getting go away heat.

To be fair, in this instance it's not even his fault. He's booked like a goof being used by the real top heels, and can't ever beat the flying goat.

Dude probably believes his own gimmick and can't understand why the fans are rejecting this shit.

So remember this post about Randy Orton still being an immature bitch when it comes to go away heat?

A fan on Smackdown held up an RK-NO sign, so he got mad, yelled at the guy, and pouted to the ring. WWE decided to edit it and use his entrance from RAW instead.



Problem is he was wearing different colored tights each night.

TNA put MVP on TV as the new top babyface...without a contract.

I watched the MVP stuff. I like MVP, I think he's a good entertainer, but if he's your new main event, you're irrelevant.

Undertaker Returns!

 

According to PWInsider.com, it is confirmed that The Undertaker will be returning to WWE on the 2/24 edition of RAW from Green Bay, Wisconsin. Undertaker's return was said to be locked in within the past two days.

In addition to building up to his Wrestlemania match, Undertaker is also being brought back on the 2/24 RAW to help create hype for the launch of the WWE Network. Other names and past stars are believed to be returning for the show as well.

This makes sense seeing as its the night of the WWE Network launch

Well, if they're taking the belt off Orton at the PPV...gotta be between Cena & Bryan. Since Cena's working with Wyatt, figure the belt isn't necessary there.

So, if it's Bryan, L-O-L.

 

[Spidey]

Ill be at the 2/24 show. Though Ill be way up in a box. Just had my company make the offer this week which I hopped on. Raw, free beer, and free food. Can't go wrong with that. My only regret will be no CM Punk.

I would much rather them put the belt on Cena again and have Bryan win at Mania. After all the shit he has gone through since Summerslam, putting the belt on him at EC would be a huge let down. And because they have this Shield Wyatt thing going, you could easily make WWE fans forget that the Wyatt's attacked Cena. Just tie it together and say like "We attacked him to screw you."

The only shit part is, Batista is still fighting for the title which throws a wrench into everything.

Went to the ROH show with MR BILL tonight. For some reason they opened up with the main event, Jay Briscoe def. Adam Cole with Briscoe's fake title on the line. It was awesome and i'm pretty sure they filmed it for TV (it wasn't a full blown taping but Kevin Kelly said *some* of the show was being taped for TV).

Then nothing else good happened for hours except for Robert Evans being awesome. He is doing a streak gimmick where he has his own ref, and he runs down and pins guys who are already beaten. He pinned an already dead Alex Reigns, then did a Pearl Harbor job on Woozy Woo to move to 31-0. Roderick Strong came down to end the streak. Cedric Alexander is feuding with Strong, and accidentally nailed Evans on a run in attempt, so Evans got the cheap DQ win to move to 32-0. He sold this like he won the main event at WrestleMania, and it was fantastic. He got the YES YES YES chants and was the most over guy on the show until ACH came out.

ACH & Tadarius Thomas vs ReDRagon was very good. ACH did some incredible flying in the closing stretch. His family comes to these S.A. shows and they go apeshit for him.

Four way main event was a PWG style spotfest that delivered.

If any of the above makes TV, seek it out.

Seems that Wyatt is going to get the "live theme music" treatment at WM this year. I can already see creative putting him against Undertaker at WM31.

The gimmick is entertaining, but in no way does it deserve top of the card treatment. I just don't get it.

Friday is the last day of the exclusive negotiating window for NBCU with WWE.

What the hell did I just watch?

Somebody important enough to matter is absolutely in love with the gimmick and they'll be pushed at the top until that person falls out of love with it. It doesn't matter if it isn't over or that good yet...someone that matters loves it and here we are.

I don't even hate the Wyatt's...used to love'em down in NXT, and if we see more Wyatt-Bryan level work (it doesn't even have to be that good, just...continuously good work out of Harper and Wyatt (Rowan is a lost cause...he'll be dancing or doing a naked gimmick by 2016)...then I'm for them staying at the top, but it shouldn't be there at this point, at least IMO...but I'm willing to roll with it. Its better than having a ton of other cats at the top like Big Show and Kane.

WWE needs to get some more faces though. With Punk gone, they basically have Cena and Bryan, and to a less extent, Sheamus, who is like a couple miles off from those two. Heel side is loaded with Shield, Wyatt, Orton, and now looks like Cesaro and obvious Authority.

And they had designs on turning Sheamus heel too.....but at the time, that also involved Cesaro splitting from Real Americans and turning face. Don't forget that Batista is technically a face too.

Funny, because if you went back 1.5 years, all you heard was that WWE lacked heels, now we have quite a few. Will be interesting to see what they do with the people you've mentioned with WM fast approaching.
