The more I think about this, the more awesome it sounds. And you just know Virgil is starving for work and would do it.

It would great on the indies. Imagine WRESTLING SUPERSTAR VIRGIL marching to the ring in his purple bodyguard tux and carrying the Million Dollar Belt, cutting a promo on Kevin Steen or Johnny Gargano or Eddie Kingston (HOLY SHIT, this needs to be done in CHIKARA), talking about being the real world champion, main eventing SUPERSTARS OF WRESTLING against Bret Hart, and being part of "nWo Black, brother!". Imagine Kingston's reactions to this spectacle. It would be fantastic.

I've read a lot of "Wrester Run Ins" recently that focus on "Wrestling's Loneliest Man" Virgil...this would be an EPIC gimmick for ANY Indy promotion.

The main thing here is Cena filed for divorce against his wife, and his wife is fighting AGAINST the divorce...obviously, she fucked up somehow...probably cheated on Cena, but didn't want to go through with the divorce...but, since its going down, she's gonna attempt to take him to the cleaners.

 

[EmpireWF]

She fucked up because if he gets a clean divorce, she probably gets shit.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Well, if she can prove infidelity on his part, even if she also did her fair share of cheating...things get interesting.

If it can be proved that he cheated, that will probably tarnish his reputation among the kids, since he does a lot of charity work for the Make A Wish Foundation. And, it's the kids that buy a lot of his merchandise.

Unless John Cena has a huge ace in the hole, she is going to get a substantial amount of money no matter what. They have been together since high school, and she was the primary bread winner while he was making $400 per week in OVW.

Nothing short of serious felonies could cause those kids' interest in him to wane.

I gotta say, i'm enjoying this Impact Wrestling tonight. 40 minutes in, and i've yet to be offended by anything stupid. I'm turning the corner on TNA, I think.

Wake me up when the name Joe means something again in TNA without attaching a better wrestler/tag belts to him.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I think when WWE cuts guys, instead of signing them and making a big deal about it, which ends up putting WWE over, TNA should do the "Gut Check" gimmick and job them out to make them look inferior. Put the ex-WWE guys on the same level as the indie guys and make them "try out".

Daniels, Joe, and Magnus are going to NOAH to challenge for the GHC Junior Hvt (Daniels) and GHC Tag Team (Joe & Magnus) titles on July 22.

This could mean TNA is now working with NOAH instead of New Japan.

You know that anybody from the 'E coming over to TNA immediately becomes their World Champ though.

That's NOAH using TNA talent on a station/PPV that I as a casual (overseas-wise) am not going to see on TV though.

Those matches happen on American TV and I care more.

I'll post them for you!

Anyway, not doing shtick here. I was expecting to turn this Impact off as soon as the Austin Aries segment was over, but i'm actually enjoying this. I don't know if shedding Russo is the only reason or even part of the reason at all, but this company has been pretty good lately.

The Brooke Hogan and AJ/Dixie segments are abysmal.

Brooke hasn't been nearly as bad as I thought she would be.

Looking forward to it (and for the others who'd watch it as well to see them as well).

I gotta say from what I've seen, it's been largely inoffensive (other than the Daniels + Kazarian/AJ feud).

It's like they won't let Daniels or Kazarian feud with anyone else because of their size.

they reveal who attacked Sting yet?

No.
