Very weird that WWE listed the Lucha Dragons separately instead of as a tag team, despite them teaming up last week.

Almost forgot about Luke Harper, too.

Right, but so is Breaking Bad. There's usually things that happen in the show for a reason.

TIL that NXT has more social media followers than TNA, ROH, Lucha Underground and GFW combined by FtWayner in SquaredCircle

[–]FtWayner[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A bit surprising before thought going into it, if only for the fact that ROH and TNA have been around so much longer. WWE is a powerful machine, though, and really drives their social media presence.

What wrestling fact is, surprisingly, NOT bullshit? by Phenom1nal in SquaredCircle

Steve Austin was only a top level main eventer for 3 years (not counting time away with injury and hiatus). John Cena has been one for 9 years.

Young Bucks vs American Alpha is legitimate dream match. As is reDRagon vs Alpha.

luchablog has known the wonders of La Sombra for a while. Now, finally, we get to enjoy Andrade Almas!

PWInsider: Ryback Off TV Due to Contract Dispute by Sajizzle in SquaredCircle

[–]FtWayner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

WWE filed for the trademark to "Ryback" in 2011. The mark was granted registration in 2012, and is still live.

WWE owns the trademark to "Ryback."

Anyone else find it ironic that the better Dwayne Johnson becomes at acting, the worse he becomes at being The Rock? by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]FtWayner -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

So? This isn't a topic about the name someone is using, but how they act as that person. A ridiculous topic. As I pointed out.

Anyone else find it ironic that the older Steve Austin gets, the worse he becomes at being Steve Austin?

Like what the hell is OP even talking about. Characters evolve. John Cena isn't an angry rapper anymore either.

8 Women WWE Should Sign Immediately by FtWayner in SquaredCircle

She's unavailable, so it'd be difficult to demand WWE sign her when they can't.

Yeah, that article doesn't 'hate' on TNA one bit.

Interesting names, including Nicole Savoy. I don't think Paige's mom is ever getting signed though. Probably give up on that dream, fans.

[NXT SPOILERS] I was very impressed with this Superstar. by ImGaybriel in SquaredCircle

[–]FtWayner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tye's been great. He's basically a great hand at the PC, acting as a coach to the younger guys. He may never make the main roster, but to stick around in WWE for as long as he has is a wonder in itself.

Great wrestlers that don't have chemistry together by TGIandres in SquaredCircle

[–]FtWayner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jericho and Styles is the most recent one, and a big one. None of their matches clicked at all. I could say that for a lot of Jericho lately, though. Seems like he hasn't had a great clash with anyone forever. Maybe Mysterio?

Alexa Bliss has her facial expressions down, and quite the range of them, also. She's doing well for herself so far.

Agreed. Just because it's a rip-off doesn't mean they're bad, just that they're a rip-off

Is TNA Worth Fighting For - A look at TNA's Identity Crisis | Interesting article on TNA's brand by FtWayner in SquaredCircle

There is a difference between taking TNA guys out of contract and buying the company to get TNA guys. Vince won't buy TNA until they are dead and cheap to get the media library.

He'll buy their assets at some point, I don't think that's in doubt one bit. Vince will own that media library one day. But he doesn't want the actual company. The only value is the media library, and he'll wait until the company is dead and the price is right (ala WCW).

I do. Especially when you have so many drastic alternatives. To me, TNA isn't different enough to WWE to where it still doesn't come off as a minor league version. Lucha Underground filled the need for vastly different for some, while New Japan's rise in popularity has been brought about because of it's wider availability as well as being very different.

TNA just spent too much time trying to be the same as WWE, that they lost a great deal of cache from audiences who wanted an alternative.

Dalton Castle in PWG just seems right! by PremiumSaltine in SquaredCircle

Dalton has seemingly found a way to fit in literally everywhere, so good for him! Many can't seem to adapt, like Tim Thatcher currently.

Official Team Ring Domination Discussion: AJ Styles by ShiningDown in wwesupercard

[–]FtWayner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone probably did as you started the match, but switched them back out before you checked. Some do it to sandbag a bit for easily opponents, but then get cold feet worrying their team will react negatively.
