Orton says he doesn't see any reason to work for anyone else.

AEW star Bryan Danielson has declared for this year's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament.

On the June 5 edition of AEW Dynamite, a fired-up Danielson delivered a promo where he said he had his sights set on winning the tournament and then going on to challenge for the AEW World Championship at All In.

During the promo, 'The American Dragon' noted that his last year as a full-time professional wrestler hasn't gone exactly as he had planned due to several high-profile losses. However, he vowed to do what he could to go out on top in what was his 'last shot'.

As for Danielson, the former WWE and ROH Champion will be going into the 2024 tournament banged up, with Danielson claiming he will need surgery 'pretty soon'.

Tony Khan recently discussed Danielson's AEW future, saying that he'd like him to stay with the company in some capacity 'forever'.

The short answer is that HHH got that opportunity just like he got many opportunities in the company because he wws plowing the CEO's daughter.

Vince single handedly ruined Steiner's brief run in WWE by booking him as a face. Big Poppa Pump as a face was never ginna work, he was a guy who always had to be a heel. Yeah his foot was messed up when he signed on and he tried to hide it until he had his money locked in, but he still performed well enough to work around it until it healed better.

Starts with a hilarious promo package about Christian being an instant classic “greater than sliced bread”

Team 3D vs LAX - Little Italy Street Fight:
Good hardcore opener. Hernandez flies over the top rope hit in face by Devon with a chair, random strippers dancing, Homicide used a pizza cutter on Brother Devon busted him open badly. Brother Ray uses a cheese grater on Homicide. The Latino Nation run in with Konan in a wheelchair to help LAX win - really good hardcore match.

Back to Paparazzi Productions viewing party, now featuring Big Sexy Kevin Nash! Eric Young starts to get seduced by Ms Brooks who is trying to get him to sign a contract with Robert Roode Incorporated.

“The Phenomenal” AJ Styles vs. “The War Machine” Rhino - Motor City Chain Match:
This is a bull rope style match but with a chain. A weapon of choice on a pole for Rhino – nightstick and on another pole the chain key for AJ styles to escape the chain to be able to use high flying moves. Rhino gets the nightstick but Styles low blows him with the chain and uses the stick. Styles gets the key and unlocks himself from the chain and can now do high flying moves. Styles shortens the chains and cuffs the other end of the chain to the ropes. Rhino manages to hit the gore but can’t pin cause of the length of the chain won’t allow him to reach Styles. Earl Hebner helps out by kicking the key to Rhino and he unlocks himself. Gets a table out and tries to gore him through the table by Stles moves out the way and he puts himself through the table. Styles pins him and wins. Really good match!

Good match, Gail Kim was really good in ring. Storm and Jackie win.

“The Icon” Sting vs. “The Monster Abyss” with James Mitchell - Prison Yard Match:
You win the match by putting your opponent in the solitary confinement cage and locking it. Barbed wire around the ring post, confinement cage with barbed wire on it. The match starts outside the impact zone and the prison cage is lowered into the ring and works its way into the ring. The outside backstage area set up like a prison yard. In the pre match video package Sting reveals Abyss’ past secret of shooting his father with 3 bullets and put him in a coma but he survived. Really good pre match promo for the story summary. Good hardcore brawl outside to start. Throwing lots of stuff, Sting splashes Abyss through a table from a dumpster. Abyss smashed a siren light over stings head. Sting power bombs Abyss through a barbed wire table from half way up the solitary confinement cage. Sting locks abyss in the cage and wins then chokes Mitchell, security comes to aid Mitchell. Great hardcore match.

4 stars

Just to liven up this section. Been a little slow this week.

@2:00-4:00. Little computer screen youtube does it no justice. Go rewatch on DVR big screen.

Gotta give Bodhy (from another section) some mad props, he made a thread about an AI song generator -- it's fuking cool as chit.

Made a song about Tony Khan and AEW, tell me what you think...

https://suno.com/song/cdcd700d-57c0-...e-2e9b3f1dd2d0

major tna news

Ofcourse this thread is out of curiousity only, but it is not far from reality...that way you can have a loaded card featuring only top tier 5 matches like you know best of the best...you can have every match like 30 minutes or so and fans would still buy into it coz they would be your top tier matches....and in breaks you could do some interesting segments...

Imagine if Wrestlemania 41 looked like this:

Rock/Reigns for the undisputed world title
Punk/Rollins for the WHC
Cody/Gunther in a no holds barred match
Orton/Knight
A 6 way ladder match for the IC title featuring Drew, Damian, Styles, Owens, Zayn, Gable....

Do you like this kind of idea?

fat hardy brother in tna .
On January 9, 2011, Hardy made his debut for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) at the Genesis pay-per-view, as part of the stable Immortal. He was the surprise opponent for Rob Van Dam, and defeated him to prevent Van Dam from receiving a match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, held by Hardy's brother Jeff. In the main event, Hardy attempted to interfere in Jeff's World Heavyweight Championship match with Mr. Anderson, but was stopped by Van Dam, which led to Jeff losing both the match and the championship.[146] On the January 13 episode of Impact!, the Hardy Boyz reunited to defeat Anderson and Van Dam in a tag team match, following interference from Beer Money, Inc.[147] On February 13 at Against All Odds, Van Dam defeated Hardy in a rematch.[148]

On the following episode of Impact!, Hardy, along with the rest of Immortal and Ric Flair, betrayed Fortune.[149] On March 13 at Victory Road, Hardy was defeated by Flair's previous protégé, A.J. Styles.[150] On April 17 at Lockdown, Immortal, represented by Hardy, Abyss, Bully Ray and Ric Flair, were defeated by Fortune members James Storm, Kazarian and Robert Roode and Christopher Daniels, who replaced an injured A.J. Styles, in a Lethal Lockdown match.[151] On the April 21 episode of Impact!, Hardy faced Sting for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, Hardy's first World Title match in TNA, but was defeated.[152] The following month, Hardy was granted a shot at the TNA World Tag Team Championship against Beer Money, Inc. (James Storm and Robert Roode). While the champions looked to defend the title against the Hardy Boyz, Matt instead introduced the returning Chris Harris, Storm's old tag team partner, as his partner for the title match.[153] The match took place at Sacrifice, where Storm and Roode retained their titles.[154]

On June 21, it was reported that TNA had suspended Hardy.[155][156][157][158] On August 20, Hardy was released from TNA following a DUI arrest that occurred earlier that same day.[159]

dont plan on playing online or downloading any upgrade packs or whatever.

i loved no mercy/revenge/wrestlemania 2000 etc. those were the GOAT wrestling games to me besides wrestlefest in the arcade.


is this game worth getting just to make a few jabronis tap to mjf's salt of the earth fujiwara armbar?

the wheel chair stuff was hilarious .. i still want to see another match i dont care there even older near death





sting feud was also worth watching

Continue to book this guy like a monster and have him SQUASH the champion in the main event at summerslam.

This will instantly elevate the belt up to the level of Cody's belt, and you can have a monster heel world champ and a white meat baby face universal champ

The world title needs to be moved up in people's view from where it is now (intercontinental level)

Make bron the new brock lesnar and give it to him, it's the only way. The champion makes the belt and bron is the only guy with upside to match Rhodes.

I sometimes keep an eye on the Joshi scene and Cornette is right about a lot of it being crap, but I think that it has the biggest range between absoloute trash and absoloute GOATED

Theres one I like at the moment Utami Hayashi****a who is incredible, she's an absoloute beast, a Joshi with size (she's bigger than Natty for example) , a powerhouse, a technician, she's got charisma, she looks believable and she's only 25.

The sad thing is though, if she went to WWE you just KNOW it would only be time before they had her running around like an idiot yelling in unintellegable Japanese, acting like a buffoon and being fed to, and I'm sorry to say this but the talentless American black women that they love feeding the Japanese women to.



Also Giulia is coming in soon who's also incredible bit see the above.

It sucks ass because I love watching the top Joshi talent but it's hard being in japanese language and also joshi stuff is just weird, after the matches they talk to each other for ages in the ring and cry and I don't understand it.

I wish wwe or even sigh AEW would feature them properly.

WWE has already announced that Damian Priest will defend his world heavyweight title against Drew McIntyre (who is wrestling at his home)...and is likely to win the title.....however I gotta feel a bit for Damian to lose the belt so early....but is there a small chance Judgment Day might help Damian win this one???? Anything can happen....

Seems like Cody is gonna be rested for this PPV....

Still no Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns....

Swerve Strickland is gonna defend his world title against Will Ospreay...I think Ospreay will win the world title (also is the international champion at the same time)...and he will defend the world title against MJF at All In 2024...possibly the biggest fresh match for AEW at this point....if Swerve loses I gotta feel for him to lose the world title so early....

Also announced is a fatal four way ladder match for the vacant TNT title...Konosuke already in it...that should be fun...

Fuark. That's rough.

Imagine dating (possibly) the hottest chick ever in WWE for multiple years and then breaking up. Especially when you're average looking and a c-level wrestler.

Buddy Daddy and so many other solid WCW guys got the shaft so hard by Vince.

1. Stephanie McMahon. Heat machine. She could incite the crowds like no other with her facial expressions, her promos, and everyone hated her. she is the best heel of all time when we are talking women in wrestling.
2. Trish Stratus. She could be a face too but played a better bitch role.
3. Lita. Became a great heel and got heaps of heat based on her real life cheating sloot ways.
4. Sensational Sherri. The best to do it in her day. Greatest in the golden era. She was scary. Had a very nasty streak and temper in the ring and cheating for her man as a valet.
5. AJ Lee. If she hadn’t left the business so damn young she’d have been on Trish’s or Stephanie’s level imo.

Paul said,

"Didn’t even really seem controversial to me, it just seemed like Randy Orton’s shoulder wasn’t down."

despite the match ending with similarities to the Montreal Screwjob, Paul said this,

"The referee’s decision is final. GUNTHER is your King of the Ring."

Orton has yet to comment.

Gunther is celebrating his win.

The Jeddah Screwjob


The Red Sea Screwjob ?

hahaha

srs

Seriously, no problem with how Bron is being booked and since AOP is with Ellering they should be booked as unstoppable. The 2 biggest guys in the company are getting booked like chumps getting tossed around by the 130lbs New Catch Twinks. They should be booked like monsters in squash matches and 30 second victories just like Bron. Otherwise what the hell is the point of Ellering even being there. Same goes for Cross. Truth and Miz are a joke and so is Judgement day. Who else is left besides Street Profits and New Catch? What happened to Trips "shaking things up" and "we ain't seen nothing yet"?

Doesn’t feel long ago at all getting the awful news. RIP legend. Cut from a cloth unlike any other.

US title isn't on the line either.

C'mon, man. They're doing LA Knight dirty.

Heck, even Chad Gable would've been a better matchup.

I wasn’t aware that the Hulkster was so close to being the star of 80s move Highlander, brother.

I guess he was too busy running wild in the WWF and with Rocky 3.

Looks like Hogan spoke about it in 2011. Must be true, bother…it was in a Hogan interview.
