What is the point of that bull fighter tag team?
To have another tag team....that will win a few matches maybe even the titles (doubt it) than become jobbers.
- Jim Ross retires on his own or was he basically forced out?
The WWE's web site announced Jim Ross is retiring from the company to pursue other personal business endeavors.
Ross met with Vince McMahon today where the decision was made to end his run with the company, which had had a few stops and starts, dating back to the 1993 WrestleMania show.
The decision, which was made by McMahon, was first told to us by a source in the company that it was possible, if not likely on the day of SummerSlam, stemming from the now-infamous 2K Sports symposium where Ric Flair spoke at length about a variety of subjects.
Ross took heat from management for not cutting Flair off and keeping the symposium to what it was scripted to be. Even though it was a 2K Sports symposium, and 2K Sports people had no problem with Flair's behavior, those in WWE were not happy with certain subjects and how they were brought up.
Since nothing had happened for three weeks, many expected that the heat and blown over.
They said the WWE PPV was the worst of the year.
It was better than Wrestlemania 29!!!!
The ending of TNA was good as I liked what A.J Styles said, because it was 100% true, and everything, and Dixie turning heel was a good change, but with that being said it pretty much copied what the WWE is doing right now.

- TNA co-founder Jerry Jarrett says the company is as close to being a non-factor today as you can get, Dixie Carter will control the company as long as her father is alive, discusses TNA's focus on former WWE talent
On Dixie's non-wrestling background and how that effects her running a wrestling company: "You've got to have an unabiding respect for the business or it's impossible to be successful. When I was in the wrestling business, me and the wrestling business were intertwined. I ate it, slept it, dreamt it. The wrestling business was my mistress. Dixie saw her first match after she had ownership, I think, and I know for a fact she has little regard for the tradition or the history of the business. So, if you don't know what brought you to the dance, how are you supposed to learn from it and build on it? After all this years, it's pretty obvious that I'm right. TNA today is as close to being a non factor in the business as you can get."

In Triple H's current role, why is heel sometimes, and then other times not as much?
He's confused.

- Rewriting Wrestling History: Roddy Piper Was a World Champion
In Piper's epic feud with Hulk Hogan, he never won either the WWF or WCW World Heavyweight Championships. In the WWF, Piper was the heel and in WCW, he was the babyface. Piper's fans point to this as an injustice and they claim that Piper's role as Hogan's nemesis was necessary in helping Hogan get over. Ironically, Piper's inability to win either the WWF or WCW Championships has actually helped his legend grow among older wrestling fans.
However, it would be inaccurate to say that Roddy Piper has never been a World Champion. In fact, he won a World Championship for a wrestling organization that was much more powerful than the WWF at the time and has been in existence much longer than WCW was. In April of 1977, Roddy Piper was the NWA World Light Heavyweight Champion for two days.
NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship
The National Wrestling Alliance has been officially in business since 1948. However, the NWA experienced its greatest success prior to 1993 when WCW left the organization. The NWA's business model is far different from modern wrestling promotions such as ECW, WWE, and TNA. The NWA is not a wrestling promotion. Instead, the NWA is a conglomeration of smaller promotions that each pledge allegiance to the NWA World Champions.
The NWA also has a confusing slate of champions from all over the country. In the pre-Internet era, local fans of these smaller NWA promotions believed that their local champions had much greater status than they really had. However, the NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship that Roddy Piper won was the NWA's legitimate World Championship of that weight class, although it was primarily defended in Los Angles, CMLL, and EMLL in Mexico.
Los Angeles
Another urban legend is that Roddy Piper got his first big break in wrestling in Portland under legendary promoter Don Owen. Although Piper is a legend in the Portland area, he first became a star in Los Angeles in the mid-1970s. At that time, he had an incredible feud with Chavo Guerrero, Sr. that lasted for several years. Although much of this feud is lost to history, it received mention in Roddy Piper's latest WWE DVD and in his autobiography.
Before political correctness ruled America, Piper utilized an incredible amount of racial overtones in his promos to get over as a heel in wrestling. You can still see this in his early Piper's Pits and they were not lacking in his feud with Chavo Guerrero. In fact, Roddy Piper wore a "White Is Right" shirt in Los Angeles, did an interview with a donkey to mock Guerrero, and he started a riot by playing "La Cucaracha" on the bagpipes as the Mexican National Anthem.
In early 1977, Chavo Guerrero was the NWA World Light Heavyweight Champion. On April 13, he defended his title against Roddy Piper in Los Angeles. Piper defeated Guerrero for his first and only World Championship. Two days later, Guerrero wrestled Piper in a rematch and won back his title. Shortly thereafter, Guerrero lost the title and it returned to Mexico. Today, the NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship is still defended in Mexico, though it is now known as the NWA World Historic Light Heavyweight Championship.
Piper's world title reign is never mentioned on his DVD and it only appears as an aside in parentheses in his book. But the fact that Roddy Piper was an NWA World Champion at the age of 22 should be recognized by wrestling fans and historians.

- Reby Sky Lashes Out at Kharma & Sid Vicious
Kharma reignited her feud with Reby Sky this past week during an interview with Future Endeavors as she once again slammed “The Diva Overachiever.”
Earlier this year, Kharma participated in the “YouShoot” DVD series and placed Sky in the ‘Ho Bag’—a recurring segment featured in the series. This caused the outspoken female grappler to fire back at the former WWE and TNA Wrestling star by claiming she participates in “shoot” interviews to support her drug habit due to being broke.
Speaking to Future Endeavors, Kharma revealed she placed Sky in the “Ho Bag” due to her lack of “etiquette” and respect for ring veterans such as Sid Vicious—after Vicious surfaced on Raw last year for a guest wrestling appearance, Sky went off on the former World Champion on Twitter by saying he doesn’t deserve the spotlight after no-showing multiple independent events months earlier, including one show in which he was to have faced her boyfriend, Matt Hardy.
Kharma added that Sky’s reputation “speaks for itself” and that she’s “not one of my colleagues.” Finally, Kharma labeled Sky “a peon.”
Former WWE talent Lindsay Hayward (the 6’9″ women’s wrestler who was originally scheduled to appear on NXT in 2010), sent Sky an article containing Kharma’s remarks, to which she responded, “Lying. Fucking. Cunt. Oh, & lets all glorify a FUCKING NO-SHOW. Brilliant ! But it’s ok bc it’s a “veteran”, right ? LOL.”
Sky then went off on Kharma and Vicious with the following rant, “I don’t give a f*ck HOW many years someone has had in the business. If you’re a piece of sh*t, you’re a piece of sh*t.
“Being a “veteran” is not a magical pass to be a complete POS. Yall think imma bow down to someone just bc they got a lucky break ? LOL
“Those seemingly SO concerned with “respect” should worry more about those who SH*T ON THIS BUSINESS than those callin out said culprits.
“I will NEVER respect a no-show; someone who scams promotors & f*cks fans & people who actually show up to work. F*ck outta here.
“That being said, go back to smiling to my face at shows & talkin sh*t online @kharma, you FAKEASSBITCH.
“Btw, your GODDAUGHTER gives a big ol’ F*CK YOU. Cuz that’s what this is REALLY all about, right ? LOL f*ck outta here.”
I don't agree with some of these tag team rankings

http://www.wwe.com/classics/top-50-t...istory/page-51
Yeah pretty wack, team hell no better than the mega powers?
The mega Powers never won the titles, so I can see why Team Hell No would be higher.
Hall and Nash should be on there.
Not a best WWE tag team list.
lol
BattleGround sucked today!!!!
any title changes?
Nope.
Outsiders >>>>
Who is the greatest wrestling tag team of all time? Not just in WWE/F history, but all of wrestling.
^^
Santino and Great Kahli?
I thought Cena was supposed to be out longer than this? And they have already had a stupid midget character for a while, and now they add another one?
- WWE Hall of Famer Iron Sheik:
On his proudest moment: "Everybody know nobody beat Mr. Bob Backlund until Iron Sheik come to the most famous arena in the world Madison Square Garden. I do my camel clutch and I almost break his neck and I become champion. My manager, God bless him, Mr. Fred Blassie, he know I make it that night."
On Hogan potentially returning to WWE and the fact that Hogan is still such a big part of the business: "Hulk Hogan guitar player. He not Iron Sheik. Everybody know they never be the Hulkamania without Iron Sheik. I was biggest heel in the world and I put him over. He know I could break his leg and bring the belt to Minnesota but I never cut the hand that feed me. Mr McMahon Sr., he know I am the real and he always help me become the legend and still to this day I respect my company WWE."
On Ultimate Warrior potentially being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame: "Ultimate Warrior is a low life, piece of shit, freak no good mother------. He make hall of fame for biggest piece of shit hall of fame. He never be in my class. None of the boys respect him because he never treat people in the ring with the respect. I think he is a punk. I think he is jabroni and he can go f--- himself forever."
On whether he thought the WrestleMania gimmick battle royal would have staying power: "You know, I always come back to WWE and they know I am the real legend. I not the Hillbilly Jim or the jabroni Bushwhacker. I come and I show that I tough man, still for my age I look good."
On how he initially felt when wrestling was removed from the Olympic program, and his reaction now that it has been reinstated: "I very very happy. The Chael Sonnen my good friend and the legend we work very very hard to let the wrestling in the Olympic again. They let the jabroni sport like the javelin or the walking become sport and I think they big time jabroni sports. They know oldest sport in the world is the wrestling. They know I always be ready to shop my heart for my sport. I happy, bubba."
Is Cena going to get 're-injured' in the storyline and take some more time off to heal the legit injury?
I doubt it, but you never know.
Hogan is reportedly going back to TNA after the WWE offered him low money.
So TNA offered him more?
And are you referring to Hulk or Horace?
I guess so, and Hulk Hogan.
