Congrats to James Storm for signing with WWE.

 

Deserved.

 

I always said TNA fucked up majorly with him, home grown star was an original, got in better shape than ever, got a character over as fuck after they had no idea what to do with him, made his way to world title level, lost it a week later and buried ever since. 

He could have been THE man for TNA. I think he will make it in WWE, can't rate him highly enough. Needs to be face though.

[When Jokers Attack]

They just need Bobby Roode now.

ICW was good last night, favourite match was BT Gunn vs Joe Coffey. As expected the main focus of the show was Black Labels feud with Grado and Damo. Red Lightning is a terrific heel, love it when he is on the mic.

James Storm is bang average as a singles guy. As a tag guy, he's immense.

[When Jokers Attack]

I've watched a fair amount of wrestling this week. Finished off PWG BOLA today, amazing stuff. Thought the final stage suffered some issues with the pacing of some matches but overall still a brilliant show. Will no doubt be buying more of their dvds when I next get paid. Now about to watch that Rev Pro NJPW show.

[DomDom1984]

There's two shows. Global Wars and Uprising. Uprising is definitely the better show, but both shows are worth checking out.

Yeah I didn't notice that until last night. Will be getting Global Wars too.

I dunno in WWE yeah, but in TNA he had the charisma and had got his character to a place where he could have gone far, he was almost a kinda mix between Shawn Michales and Stone Cold, but without as much athletic ability. But could defo go in the ring. We all know anyway as long as you're over you can go far in the WWE, you don't need to be the best, he will be solid midcard if he gets on main roster.

I like nxt and its clearly doing a great job at improving wrestlers. However the wwe main roster is pretty young and stacked around the middle of the card. I wonder how many of the nxt people will ever make the main roster.

[DomDom1984]

James Storm is nowhere near Austin, who was always excellent at what he did.

[Andre91]

One thing that has been bugging me for a while is Finn Balor. I just don't 'get' him. The quality of his matches is excellent, but I just find him extremely 'meh'. I don't know if that is because he is portraying a face, but I find him very un-charismatic and boring. I can imagine him being a bloody good heel though.

He is one person that I don't see translating well to the main roster, contrary to what most people think. From why I've read online, most expect him to be a major player for years to come when he comes up to the main roster, but I just can't see it myself.

[DomDom1984]

I don't buy that Balor would do well in the main roster either. I'd prefer to stay where he is.

[pink_triangle]

I see balor as someone who will get his chance on the main roster and have a solid mid card run. Other than crews I'm not sure I see any obvious main eventers.

[jump]

I have trouble seeing main eventers in the wwe roster let alone nxt's.

[Andre91]

Outside of Rollins, Reigns and Cena, the only person I can see holding the WWE Title within the next couple of years is Kevin Owens.

Ambrose isn't going to get the sustained push, and bar someone like Bryan coming back fully healthy, KO is the only one I can see stepping up.

Lesnar? I also wouldn't count out sheamus getting another run.

[Andre91]

Oh yeah I forgot Brock!

Fuck no please, you can't have a champ who goes missing for months all the time.

I personally found lesnars reign better than rollins despite him being a part time champ. He is a businessman and wwe need to make it worth his while.

 When he appeared sure but Brock is booked strong regardless of him being the champ or not and it was made even worse when Heyman isn't even on for months. 

 

Having a champ who isn't about at all for 3 months is fucking stupid and only waters down the already thin roster.

Just got back from seeing ICW at the Koko in London,FUCK WWE!The atmosphere was great and such a great night.Was chatting to some fellow Scots who were down from the homeland and they said that it wasn't even a patch on the Scottish shows so I really wanna go back home and catch one.

Seeing GRADO in person was electric and a couple of them wrestled in the crowd which was awesome!

Another shocking RAW. No wonder the ratings are in the toilet. 

[lharris92]

I can't remember the last RAW I actually watched.

[When Jokers Attack]

Outstanding match once again between AJ Styles and Okada  - these two have great chemistry and seem to put on a better match every time they work together. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x39hugn_kazuchika-okada-vs-aj-styles-in-ryogoku-sumo-arena_sport - english commentary by Matt Striker and Kevin Kelly.

ICW only have under 200 tickets remaining for Fear and Loathing, well impressed with that, I didn't think they would sell out the SECC but looks like they are going to.

Had never seen this before

 

[luckysalt]

Lesnar got called up just as Perfect got fired. [The plane journey from hell] I went to that tour ha ha.

Sure it was Perfect v Austin in the main event?
