What a crazy week in sports entertainment.

Now I'm reading that the WWE is signing Rich Swann, Biff Busick, Johnny Gargano, Drew Gulak, and Chuck Taylor.

Fucking Chuck Taylor.  And Kana!  KANA!  She was sitting next to Flair and Slaughter at NXT Takeover!  Bloody Hell.

If that's true, we could see those guys against Breeze, Zayn, Crews, and Itami.  Better than most of RAW right there.  I hope ChuckyT runs out and renews his feud with El Gen ... I mean, Sami Zayn.  It STILL ain't over!

Why did they sign Kana?  She's either going to destroy the women's division, or she's going to get squashed and sent back to Japan.

I wonder about that myself.  She does a lot of strikes, which will probably be taken out.  She does a lot of mat-based wrestling, with holds and reversals, but most women in the WWE would struggle to keep up.  She uses a ton of submission moves but the WWE is kind of silly the way it makes stuff like arm-bars into moves only one person at a time can use.  They probably won't let her use any submission that's been "claimed".

I hope it works out but I am kind of worried.

Like if they legit want to fix the women's division, they yeah they need someone like her.  But I question that considering what's happening on Raw.



 

WWE® ANNOUNCES THE SIGNING OF KANA

STAMFORD, Conn., September 8, 2015 – WWE (NYSE: WWE) announced today the signing of international superstar Kanako Urai, aka Kana, to the NXT® division. Kana will officially report to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida in late September.

Over the course of her 11-year career, Kana has become one of the most exciting women ever to compete in Japan. She has appeared in many organizations throughout the country and has held multiple championships. Last month, Kana made a surprise appearance at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn, sitting in the audience ringside next to WWE Hall of Famer “Nature Boy” Ric Flair®.

“We are very excited to have Kana join the NXT roster,” said Paul Levesque, WWE Executive Vice President of Talent, Creative and Live Events. “Her exciting in-ring style will make an immediate impact on the already impressive NXT women’s division.”

Should be really interesting if the rumor about Eva Marie getting a big push in NXT because of that Divas reality show is true.

Johnny Gargano looked really good on NXT.  It would probably be foolish not to pick him up.  He sells really well and he has a nice move-set.  He's got personality, too.

Love Bull's new gimmick so much more than his old gimmick.  He's a guy who will get over more with comedy than anything else.  A feud with Breeze is perfect.

Lucha Dragons had a good tag match with Balor and Samoa Joe.

Chuck Taylor continues to say that he's retiring because the WWE doesn't want him.  Please let him be trolling.

@JohnnyGargano Not for everyone :(



TNA and ROH were both good. The invasion angle did happen, but it still feels a little weird because TNA lost some good talent in getting to this point. Hopefully they can bounce back and recruit better. The ROH title match was quite entertaining though.



Supposedly Jarrett sold his minority share of TNA up.



Chuck Taylor is a vile human being.  On the heels of saying he's going to retire because no one want him, we get this:

I have a big announcement coming up regarding the future. Stay tuned.

5:16 PM - 19 Sep 2015

And then later:

Big Announcement! Trent has been stripped of the Hardcore Title for lack of defenses (and ruining my career.) What's nxt for the 24/7 Hardcore Title? Stay tuned!

However, some people are pointing to that "nxt" wedged in there.  Is that a clue or is Chucky T just trolling?

 




I am a pro wrestling fan but only watch wwe tna got boring and i am not a fan of roh due to storylines etc.
