    Del Rio made his debut for ROH a few days ago and I don't think he will commit to TNA until he makes a decision on whether he is just going to do wrestling or go back to MMA also


    :56: No but you could see that other Indian wrestler they have signed make his debut tonight, I think he may be going to be part of James Storm's group alongside Abyss, Sanada and Manik.

    A solid 15 min+ match between Paige & Nikki, easily the highlight of ME last night.

    But will it mean anything or just simply serve to promote the new season of Total Divas? In which case, why leave it and stick it on ME? :rolleyes:

    - It’s worth noting that the former Original Sin Cara, now working in Mexico’s AAA promotion as Myzteziz, used the Sin Cara name at an event on January 1st. WWE owns that name and obviously uses it for their own character.




    Dave Meltzer has issued his first five-star match of 2015 to the IWGP Intercontinental Championship match between champion Shinsuke Nakamura and challenger Kota Ibushi, from this past weekends Wrestle Kingdom 9 pay-per-view. The match saw Ibushi, who only recently graduate to a heavyweight try to out hit the veteran Nakamura, but Ibushi ultimately fell fall to Nakamura’s finishing maneuver, the BomYe knee strike. Jim Ross said after the match that it was an honor for him to have been there to call it and labeled it, “a great moment in wrestling”.

    - We noted on Monday night how former WWE star Lance Storm tweeted that he was turning RAW off due to The Ascension mocking The Road Warriors in their promo. Storm was upset because Road Warrior Hawk is no longer with us.

    WWE Hall of Famer Road Warrior Animal (Joe Laurinaitis) posted the following on his Facebook page about The Ascension’s promo:

    “The idiots in charge make the call everyone knows how stupid it is to copy icons yet they still do it. Do it in a mocking fashion to get heat I understand do it in a disrespectful way well that’s another issue that’s low and has no place in the business.

    Where does it end and I usually are just are playing when I comment but this one is a shoot I believe they should have had Me Animal find a team. For some undetected odd reason they don’t do it. They missed the boat with Ascention and they missed it when my brother John was in the ring both great times to bring me in and they missed it.

    They need to go to their merchandise numbers today and see we rank up with the main roster on selling merchandise for a reason.

    Oh what a rush.”

    There was a post-match segment at tonight's TNA Impact Wrestling tapings where Havok was beating down Knockouts Champion Taryn Terrell.

    Awesome Kong then returned to a big pop and confronted Havok in the ring. Havok ended up leaving the ring and Kong chokeslammed a referee.

    Brock Lesnar was voted Wrestler of the Year for 2014 in the year-end poll of Pro Wrestling Illustrated readers. Lesnar competed in just four matches in 2014, but they were enough to convince 30 percent of those voting that he was worthy of the honor for the second time in his career. Lesnar made history by ending The Undertaker's WrestleMania unbeaten streak in April and then beat John Cena for the WWE World heavyweight title at SummerSlam in August in perhaps the most lopsided WWE title match ever. Lesnar was followed in the voting by Daniel Bryan (23%), AJ Styles (17%), and John Cena (16%).


    NXT's Charlotte was voted Rookie of the Year

    - WWE issued the following:

    WWE® ANNOUNCES NEW BROADCAST TEAMS AS A PART OF SMACKDOWN®’S MOVE TO THURSDAY NIGHTS

    As SmackDown prepares to move to Thursday nights next week on Syfy, WWE Universe members will be seeing some new faces behind both the Raw and SmackDown announce desks.

    On Raw, Michael Cole and JBL will be joined each week by WWE Hall of Famer Booker T, while the new SmackDown announce team will consist of Cole, newcomer Byron Saxton and incomparable WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler. Cole, JBL and Lawler will continue to call the action during WWE pay-per-view events.
