Surprisingly don't think TNA existing would matter to WWE anymore. WWE raid on ROH and NJPW has basically created them a huge supply of wrestlers. 

I think the only thing that could rival WWE is if independents banded together and had solid TV contracts. (More than ROH and NJPW)

I don't know what banning all the Indy brands would do.

Well key is having the talent + solid TV contracts. Wrestle Kingdom is already huge and I could say in terms of wrestling fans, it rivals almost all WWE events minus two, but most indies are regionally popular. NJPW in Japan, AAA in Mexico, etc. WWE competition needs to be global. 

Right now NJPW and ROH using talents effectively and I could say are growing talents to be worldwide sensations, which is awesome. However WWE ends up taking a lot of those stars away. 



 

Around the Network

Watching RAW

Michael Cole: "And tonight, an incredible MAIN EVENT."

Bryon Saxton: "That's right, the challenge issued last week by the Boss. Tonight Charlotte puts the Women's Championship on the line against Sasha Banks."

 

Me: "Wait, WHAT?!?"



When was the fir... Oh right, Sasha and Bayley at NXT TakeOver: Respect. That was the greatest women's match I've ever seen.

And what do you know? Both main events feature Sasha!
But of course! ;)

She's absolutely amazing and flawless and the best at everything she does!
The Boss is Love! The Boss is Life!



Wow, what an amazing main event!
I had no doubt in my mind that both women would deliver and they did!
That corkscrew moonsault be Charlotte was amazing! And I'm beyond thrilled that Sasha's the champion again!
Now let's see these 2 compete in the first ever Women's Hell in a Cell!

Yes!

 

Also Rollins' promo interview was pretty good imo

 

Rusev VS Reigns storyline is good.

 

Braun Strawman (literally) is being fed with jobbers l0l - I wonder if Braun will go after Reigns for the US title, even he's sick of the jobbers xD.

 

Didnt expect the cruiserweight champion to tap out like that.

 

The Jericho/Owens angle was a bit awkward and damn they be jabbing Fadango lol - poor Fadango l0l

 

I cant believe The Club went from fighting the champions to fighting the comical duo....

 

I'm loving Rollins as a face - they should seriously consider Reigns as a heel. Also they are trying so hard making Cesaro/Sheamus the Team Hell No 2.0 XD

 

Team Hell No is exactly who I thought of when I heard of the Cesaro/Sheamus tag team. XD, but he, if Daniel Bryan and Kane could make it work, so can Cesaro and Sheamus, and if so, this could finally be the angle that gets Cesaro massively over and makes him the main event star that hardcore fans have been claiming he is. 

So far, if I had to guess, some matches I think the Hell in a Cell card will have:
1. WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Brain Kendrick vs TJ Perkins

2. WWE RAW Tag Team Championships
Cesaro and Sheamus vs The New Day

3. Hell in a Cell Match for the WWE United States Championship (confirmed)
Rusev vs Roman Reigns

4. Hell in a Cell Match for the WWE RAW Women's Championship
Charlotte vs Sasha Banks

5. Triple Threat Match for the WWE Universal Championshipp
Seth Rollins vs Chris Jericho vs Kevin Owens

They'll add more, but I don't know which. They'll likely add their 2 squash matches with Nia Jax and Braun Strowman. We may also see Dana Brooke vs Bayley, among others.

I had no idea Sandow was in TNA. I always wondered what happened to him after Mizdow. Its a shame he couldn't ever get the right gimmick.



I'm happy that Swagger is in Smackdown. He has the best entrance music in the business. I hated when they broke up the Real Americans. I thought they should have at least earned a Tag title when he was with Cesaro.



New wrestling thread? Awesome work Basil!
Just as awesome as SmackDown was yesterday. The Miz/Ziggler feud and the AJ Styles Championship run are pure gold!
SmackDown > Raw



RUMOR: Goldberg return??? Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series 2016???

I just love Dean shooting yesterday at Cena. I hope it is somewhat truthfully, it felt awesome. Dean really should be positioned as a tweener.
