I miss Edge.  The WWE would be so much better if he were still around.

I miss the Rated R superstar too! I get to play him again on WWE 2K14 though as he did against Mick Foley at WM 22.

More on the AJ Styles TNA Status

John Gaburick, who took over for Bruce Prichard in the talent relations department, is implementing changes to TNA to make it a viable, successful company and to stick to a budget. This complicates matters in terms of negotiating a deal with Styles that makes financial sense for the company.

Styles wants a deal that reflects his 10 years with the company and that doesn't cause him to fall back in terms of the money he's making now. While TNA wants Styles to stay, the company understands he might have to take a better deal somewhere else for the sake of his family.

In other words, Styles's experience might have made him too expensive for TNA to keep. This is especially true in light of the company being focused at the moment at uncovering and building younger talent into stars. Ken Anderson, who is currently negotiating with TNA for a new contract, and Devon, are said to be in the same situation. Devon, whose character on TV now has to leave TNA, might actually depart from the company in one or two months.


So pretty much, if they dont pay him enough, he is gonna leave.

And I hope he leaves that sinking ship TNA.

Their shows havent been great nor good in the past few months.

Ever since Hogan appeared it has been getting worse and worse.

Yup. Even RVD left and he and Hogan are broskis.

and RVD has proven to be an asset to the WWE, even with his age and aching body.

I like AJ Styles, but I bet if he went to WWE, they'd ruin him.

Joshi VGC match of the week!  Io Shirai is one of my favorites (her ring entrance is awesome) and Yoshiko is one of the biggest female stars in Japan.  This was for the Stardom title, which Io had only recently won.  If you want to watch, skip to about 5 minutes in.

Hm.  I wouldn't say that.  A lot of it isn't very good, just as with wrestling in the US.  It's more that I haven't seen a lot of it so it's easier to stumble across the good stuff.  As far as Joshi (Japanese female promotions) goes, it's so much better than 95% of what we see in the west that it's captured my attention as of late.  I'm still finding good matches and performers on youtube.

I mean, in the WWE we see the women's matches last two minutes with nothing but a few arm drags, chin locks, and an ass slap.  In Japan, we see moonsaults to the outside, stiff kicks, and chain combinations.  It's hard to not be impressed.
