He is in the Nexus. He's been rushed to TV simply because he looks like Batista.

The only "name" I can see winning the Rumble is Cena. Bubbling under I'd go for CM Punk (depending on who wins out of Orton vs Miz) or Alberto Del Rio.

He worked the dark match at the Smackdown tapings in November. He was god awful, not even Chavo Guerrerro's technical ability made him look good. He even won with a botched spinebuster

As long as they keep him as an enforcer and don't actually put him in matches, he should go well. Give him 2 hours a day with William Regal, he should be able to a decent match within a couple of months!

It's either Punk, Cena or Triple H for the rumble. Outside bets for Morrison, Swagger & Del Rio.

Looking at the two rosters, Raw and SD, a 40 man RR is pretty much the entire active WWE roster at the moment, excluding the Divas.

So there's either going to be some gimmick surprise entries or people will be pulling double duty

If you wanna see Kevin Nash's dream come true (to win the Rumble and face Taker at Mania) clap your hands.



Oh, spotted this recent pic of Ivory (now 49) on the UKFF:



Three simple words - Oh. Hell. Yeah.

WWE in calling up jacked up monster before he is ready shocker!!!!!

Speaking of which what happened to Tyson Kids bodyguard, took the worlds strongest slam and disappeared.

Wow, she looks good for 49

It's Rumble time - Kane & Henry are always pushed as "The real threats" dispite neither standing any chance of winning it.

Anyone else think Matt Hardy's been on the Raven diet ?? Even made his hair funny !

Oh and unconfirmed report that Shelley will miss the UK tour wih a broken collar bone.

You can almost guarantee HHH will be in it - wouldn't surprise me if he won it either.

Aside from that, the 40 man Rumble appears to be a way of cramming as many Nexus members as possible in. Yawn.

He's in a band called The High Crusade along with Chris Sabin and Petey Williams and others. It was one of his band mates who reported the news that he'd injured it at a TNA Live Event, so unfortunately it's true.

I did my collarbone a couple of years ago, it hurt like hell and I had a sling on for at least 4 weeks. Then it still felt sore for a few more weeks.

Tara has been having physio for her injury, but is definitely on the tour.

Nightmare, that tag match would have been absolutely off the chart.

Best of luck to him though, hopefully a speedy recovery as possible.



Glad Tara's okay.

JR was at the SD tapings this week. Unfortunately both his promo and the match he was special ref for will not be shown as part of the show.

Most likely due to the massive ovation JR got, unlike the dub'd in stuff they normally have to put over guys who appear on SD.

Lol that's nothing. I got a stream of Impact without the dubbing ... It was like Harlequins v Salford in the back.

Well yeah, but TNA is where WWE careers go to die

Unfortunately that's pretty much true eh.

It's exactly like the description Jim Cornette gave about WCW 10 years ago - "They can take talent, and make it no talent!". Still think Jeff Hardy's an absolute idiot for giving up what he had - the most popular wrestler on the planet working for the biggest company on the planet, why the f**k would you leave that?!

Because Vince will make him work for his money, that's why! It's the same with Hogan, Nash & RVD. They want the accolades but don't wanna put in the hours. They go to TNA and only have to work like 6 or so dates a year. Vince will make them work like 200 and all over the country, which fair play is a gruelling schedule. But it's not like they're not paid well for it! Hardy was apparently offered a 120 date a year deal, and more money than Shawn Michaels to come back, but decided to go to TNA because he can take drugs and get fat and nobody will care.

TBH, I'd like a job where I only had to work 200 days a year.

Not so sure I'd want a job where I can end up in a wheelchair through one wrong move mind...

Wade Barretts new group on Smackdown is called The Corre

Wonder if at Wrestlemania it will be Nexus vs The Corre

Anyone seen video clips for the WWE All Stars game ?

If you factor in the amount of travel involved, it still is a gruelling schedule. Not quite as bad as the 400 matches Ric Flair used to do back in the day. But it's not like they're sat in an office 4 days a week.

Quote ="leeds_warrior"Anyone seen video clips for the WWE All Stars game ?'" Yeah, if you go on www.ukff.com there's a thread about the game, inside that thread are links to some clips. To be honest I think it'll either be brilliant or crap, it looks very cartoonish / arcade-style which obviously could be amazing if done correctly. One very cool thing is the inclusion of Macho Man Randy Savage.

The what?!!





If it is I bet the match has zero heat, one of the worst things to ever happen in the wrestling business was the death of ECW and WCW, all these jacked-up guys now been rushed through too soon because there's no other big-time promotion to gain experience (okay ECW wasn't strictly big-time but WCW certainly was).

It's too soon to have the two factions go head to head at WM.

It'd be better served going for the Bragging Rights ppv. Or maybe Survivor Series.

Or, and this I agree is out of left field, keep them both separate.

Who is in Barratt's faction?
