Click here for Part 1! Natalya vs Charlotte (c) for the Diva’s Championship A rematch of Charlotte’s first main roster bout! I expected Nattie (whom I love) to complement Charlotte well but it was a pretty nothing match. Loved Nattie’s New Gen Bret & Owen shirt. Annoyed with Nattie absolutely no-selling a figure four, robotically shouting “no” at Charlotte. John Cena/Cinder block levels of …

Vince saying “fucking beating” at 11 seconds! In a huge shocker, THE BOY WONDER Shane O’Mac returned on RAW! Storyline-wise, Shane revealed Vince was once in a bind and Shane helped him out, silently gaining a lot of power of the company. Vince fumbled through his lines/explanation, but set up Shane’s match (oh shit! at WrestleMania! vs The Undertaker! A hell in the …

My thoughts on the Hogan/racist comments: • What he said was hateful, ignorant, and completely wrong. He admits to being a racist, to a point. • However, this was said 8 years ago, • in a private residence, • in a private conversation. • It was recorded without his knowledge/permission (Hogan says), and given to a scumbag trash website, Gawker. • They released …

So Claire Lynch is infamous and possibly TNA’s best worst storyline. It was universally panned at the time and serves as a great example of Dixie’s boobery. In 2012, TNA ran segments which implicated (married man) AJ Styles and (married woman) Dixie Carter having an affair, planning secret meetings etc. It came to a head when Dixie’s real-life husband, Serg, gave AJ one of …

Destination America have cancelled TNA iMPACT. The call was made a few days before the move to Wednesdays was announced. Why? Ratings were good, but it’s the cost to make the programming & a hard time getting advertisers. Station regulars specifically didn’t want to advertise on iMPACT. In general, wrestling has a tough time getting sponsored (it’s seen as low-brow entertainment, worse than …

The Mega-Maniacs explode! Beefer outed selling signed Hogan pics. I never cover current Hogan antics (since he’s always working the internet to keep himself relevant) but this was too hilarious. Thanks to everyone who sent me the link! After posting a pic of himself & Beefer on twitter, a fan replied that Beefer was selling 8x10s of Hogan. Hulk was embarrassed and said he never …

(Pic thanks to @WWEReaper!) On RAW, the only Divas match was a ~30second bout with Paige & Emma vs the Bellas. Women usually get short matches on TV (regarded as the “piss break” match) but 30 seconds in a 3 hour show got wrestling fans to protest with #GiveDivasAChance on twitter, which started trending and got attention by the big wigs. AJ Lee …

Tons of news tidbits coming out of the Rumble, let’s get to it! • #CancelWWENetwork & 1 Million Subs Immediately following Reigns winning the 2015 Rumble, #CancelWWENetwork was the #1 trend. Under 24 hours later WWE indirectly responded with the announcement that it’s broken 1 million subscribers. I’d naturally be skeptical of the timing, but it’s legitimate (870k American). The free month in …
