Nice main event, Goldust and Cody are the best thing going in the WWE right now.
The main event was great!!!!
lol @ Horace
Bound For Glory was okay, but for being their number one pay per view it should have been way better. The best match was Bobby Roode vs Kurt Angle.
New heavyweight champion?
Why is Aces and 8's still around, when there are only a few members left?
lol @ Outlaws Inc. Homicide comin to the ring in a grandma wig and a siren noise.
ROH is so much better than TNA, and has the best wrestling on the planet!!!!
do you get ROH on TV in your area?
yeah, How about you?
what do you think about the Ted Turner comment?
Is HBK and Daniel Bryan going to start feuding?
The comment was to draw heat, because that's what a heels job is to draw heat, so I have no problem with it.
I doubt it.
fuck youQuote:

So Cena won the title once again? smh
Greatest tag team in pro wrestling history!!!!
They had Sandow hold on to the money in the bank for all that time just to lose? And to end up losing to a guy with one healthy arm? Way to build him up.
Because he's Super Cena....
I wasn't paying attention before, what had happened with the feud between the Wyatt's and Kane? I thought they were going to bring him on their side.
They took him out after a match, he was gone for a while, came back beat up two of the members, and the Miz, and now I guess he is going to be doing Stephanie's bidding....yeah the WWE has no clue where to go with him.
WWE need to get rid of this 2 champions bullshit
I think they should go back to the brand split again to be honest.

Hey, Gang. Here is something VERY FUNNY for you to read. Feel free to tweet Michael
Tarver your thoughts @TyroneEvansB20:
So, we are LITERALLY six years removed from an incident in which a poorly trained, pre-WWE Michael Tarver, gave me an unplanned german suplex on my head, giving me a concussion with brain bleeding (To be fair, wrestler Ray Rowe was also involved in the incident. However, Ray did something any adult would do after unintentionally hurting someone: Apologized).
Today, he felt compelled to tweet this.... six years later.
What is there to lie about? Does this guy want medical records?
Nobody cared, and nobody cares about your supposed John Cena incident. In interviews, you have claimed Cena was intimidated by you because you could out-promo him, so he took you out. If that is true, then life is pretty ironic, isn't it?
You were not good. You ARE not good. Cosmetically, you are gifted, and you got lucky and signed to WWE, just like so many others over the years who had a good built, but no wrestling ability, or passion. So thanks for taking a spot from a guy like me, or countless other guys on the independent scene who dream of working for WWE, and would have appreciated it.
After giving me an injury that nearly killed me, in a PRE-SHOW BATTLE ROYAL, you decided to go on the internet and call yourself the "Crippled Kid Killer," without my consent, in youtube videos. I was not your friend. I was never your friend, and you had no right to do that.
After the incident where you concussed me, you had a match shortly after with Jigsaw, of Chikara and TNA fame, in Absolute Intense Wrestling, a company that, at the time, I did not work for. You proceeded to botch several moves, INCLUDING a suplex to Jigsaw. After you accidentally dropped him on his head and neck, you pointed down at him, looked into the crowd, and said "Greg Irons."
What was the point of saying my name in this situation..?
You actually hurt me, and now you had just dropped another guy on his skull. We were not working an angle, ever. You were wrestling in a company that I had no association with. I could upload the video to youtube if you would like.
I wish you the best in everything you do, with the exception of wrestling, because you do it poorly. Stay away from the business, and grow up.

TNA is for sale.
TNA president Dixie Carter appeared to respond to rumors regarding the company's financial state as well as rumors that her family is interested in selling the company. 'Gossip is the opiate of the oppressed' Erica Jong," Carter wrote. Follow her online at https://twitter.com/tnadixie.
Powell's POV: While no one from TNA has officially stated that the company is for sale, I am aware of parties who believe the company is for sale and are positioning themselves for a potential purchase. If nothing else, one would think that the Carter family would at least listen to serious buyers.
WWE Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel responded via Twitter to Konnan writing that he lacks charisma. "Well, what do you know!" Axel wrote. "Looks like @Konnan5150 is trying to gain social media popularity by talking about a REAL superstar."
Konnan responded on his Twitter page: "Don't give a f--- about social media popularity. I don't know u and have nothing against u dude, u just have zero charisma."
Powell's POV: It's odd to see a WWE wrestler respond to criticism in this manner. I have a feeling Axel either has or will be hearing about it from the office. Oddly enough, he ended up giving Konnan the social media attention he implied he was craving. Follow Axel online at Twitter.com/RealCurtisAxel. Follow MLW.com podcaster and AAA office staffer Konnan at Twitter.com/Konnan5150.
I know it won't happen, but I would like to see Smackdown become a live show. Also for Raw to go back to two hours.
SETTLE DOWN FAGGiT

- Has History Been Kind to WCW?
From David Arquette and Vince Russo as World Heavyweight Champions to bizarre angles such as the KISS wrestler and Judy Bagwell, professional wrestling fans had ample reason to criticize WCW near its end.
However, the purpose of this article is not to bury WCW. The sins of WCW are well known to wrestling fans around the world. If you want to read about WCW's failed storylines and gimmicks, there is a plethora of such articles to be found throughout the internet.
In recent months, both in reading comments on my own wrestling articles and in keeping up with the current buzz on the industry, I have noticed a shift in public opinion as it relates to WCW. Once the butt of every joke in pro wrestling, WCW now seems to hold a special place in the hearts of many wrestling fans. Is this nothing more than a simple case of nostalgia or was WCW a lot better than we thought it was at the time?
The fact that WCW Nitro and WWF Raw went head-to-head on Monday nights caused me to record quite a few episodes of each show. Whenever I happened to record a particularly good show, I kept that episode on a VHS tape and I never recorded over it. Since I still have an old VCR player, each week I go back and watch at least one pro wrestling show from the past.
From early Clash of the Champions specials to Russo's World Championship victory, I have a nice collection of WCW original broadcasts. Despite the fact that the creative team made scores of errors in the final months, I actually find the 2000 and 2001 episodes of WCW Nitro and Thunder quite entertaining. (And I don't mean "entertaining" in a bad way.)
While most wrestling fans remember WCW for the likes of Ric Flair, Sting, and the NWO, the best action for many years came from the midcard talent and cruiserweight division. Failed storylines and silly gimmicks aside, I find it impossible to watch any WCW program and not be amazed at what these wrestlers were doing. Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio, Juventud Guerrera, Eddie Guerrero, Psychosis, Dean Malenko and Shannon Moore were just a few of the dozens of wrestlers who put their bodies on the line every night to entertain wrestling fans.
Having said that, I also believe there is a sense of nostalgia that pertains to WCW. The same wrestling fans who praise WCW are often the same fans who praise ECW and even the WWF Attitude Era. In reality, I believe that fans who lived through these halcyon days are reminiscing on the era as a whole and not necessarily on just WCW. But the three-way dance of pro wrestling competition forced everyone to raise its game, including WCW. Therefore, every segment on Nitro, Thunder, and even WCW Saturday Night was a war for the hearts and minds of wrestling fans.
As I said earlier, I periodically go back and watch old WCW broadcasts. In doing so, I've noticed something interesting. Even when the gimmicks were bad and the storylines made little sense, I still feel like the wrestling was always great. Not to keep harping on Russo's WCW title match, but that is one of the episodes I recorded. I recently went back and watched that show and even that match had a lot of action and involved many great wrestlers.
Sometimes the mob mentality of public opinion can sway individuals to go with the crowd. As more and more wrestling fans chose the WWF, it was no longer "cool" to be a WCW fan. This may have started the night Degeneration-X drove a tank to Nitro. But in any case, I now feel that popular opinion began to subconsciously convince the average fan that WCW was an inferior product, when in reality, it wasn't that bad. Hence, perception became reality.
Unfortunately, I see the same thing happening today to TNA. I am a huge TNA fan and I can't understand why Impact's ratings are so low. I have to believe that part of the reason for this is that many wrestling fans believe TNA is inferior because so many people run down the product. Yes, TNA makes mistakes just like WCW did. But the wrestling is great and many wrestlers, such as AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, and Austin Aries are great on the mic. Frankly, I don't see how a diehard wrestling fan wouldn't enjoy watching TNA.
In conclusion, WCW represented a major part of the golden modern era of professional wrestling. Despite WCW's mistakes, today's wrestling fans seem to remember the positives more than the negatives. If WCW truly was better than we gave it credit for at the time, then we should keep an open mind about the quality of the dozens of smaller wrestling promotions around the world struggling to survive.
Eric Bischoff titled his autobiography, "Controversy Creates Cash." But in reality, it's competition that creates cash. Don't be so quick to write off lower level wrestling promotions. Otherwise, all we'll be left with one day are VCR tapes, DVDs, and YouTube videos.
Monday on Raw during the contact signing for the WWE Championship Match between Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton at Hell in a Cell, Triple H offended WWE Superstars and fans alike with his verbal burial of the talents of Bryan, as well as Chris Jericho, Edge and Rob Van Dam. WWE’s Chief Operating Officer grouped Bryan with his three predecessors and declared that like them, he is not capable of being “The Face of WWE.”
“Here’s the thing, Daniel. I’ve seen guys like you come and go a million times. Guys like Jericho, Edge, Rob Van Dam. All guys that are very talented, don’t get me wrong. Top guys! Very popular! But not “the one.” Never were they “the one.” And maybe nobody wants to say this, but it needs to be said: It’s a fact. If any of those guys had been the face of the WWE back in the day, we’d all be working for Ted Turner right now,” said Hunter.
“You think you’re playing in the big leagues, kid? You have no idea. You step inside that Hell in a Cell and I have a feeling you’re gonna prove to the world that you’re a B+ player.”
Bryan subsequently challenged Triple H to a match. “The Game” responded by saying he’s a “A+ player” and “a star” who only faces the likes of The Undertaker, The Rock and Brock Lesnar.
As reported the following day, the Chief Operating Officer’s controversial remarks had a lot of people shaking their heads backstage since they feel he was burying Bryan as a performer rather than knocking him in a villainous manner that would lead to Bryan gaining retribution. Meanwhile, Dave Meltzer revealed on Wrestling Observer Radio (audio available here) on Wednesday that Jericho, Edge and Van Dam were not given notice to the angle ahead of time.
Following Raw, Jericho went on Twitter to respond to Triple H: “Thing is @tripleh despite ur major push,u never were either. Good luck in ur future endeavours.”
Later that day, Jericho downplayed his reaction to Triple H. Responding to a tweet that labeled what Hunter said as “completely untrue and unfair,” Jericho wrote, “No big deal. Always nice to be mentioned on Raw.”
Meltzer speculated that Jericho was legitimately upset with Hunter’s remarks. He added, “I can tell you with 100% certainty with the Jericho situation, that it was not an angle.”
Meltzer garnered reaction from some WWE talent on the controversial promo, many of whom felt it was counter-productive. They also felt that Hunter’s dismissive remarks are legitimate gripes.
“As far as the talent in the dressing room—the reaction that I got from a couple of people, was basically that they all thought that the interview was counter-productive,” said Meltzer. “They all felt that Triple H, while he will say “well, I was only working,” those were his true thoughts on those guys, and it didn’t make people very happy overall.”
