WWE, TNA forge pro wrestling partnership

[Brandon Blaze]

Only wrestler I’ve seen live in 3 different companies. It’s why I’m loyal to him!

Come to think of it I've seen one wrestler live in two different companies. That being Emersyn Jayne

 

[Comrade Khan]

im sure theres more but Mox comes to mind for me

Could have added Piper Niven to that but she was on RAW at the time and the house show I saw was mostly SD

At least they can get AJ in HoF this year? please?

I hope not. He himself said that he refused the induction because he doesn't want to be in a Hall of Fame while an active performer.

But speaking of AJ, Something makes me think that he's gonna challenge Joe Hendry for the title at Slammiversary. They'll want some names to help fill the arena.

AJ will go in to the TNA Hall of Fame when he’s done. But this could open the door for another one of the most deserving people in TNA history…Jeremy Borash. I don’t think any human being did more work for a company than Borash did for TNA the decade and a half he worked there. The man did everything.

on another topic…I’m not surprised by this news. HBK has said a few times he was interested in exploring ways to expand the partnership. What’s so strange to me is just seeing it in writing. It’s just something you haven't seen WWE do. They’ve let Shinsuke work Noah and talent work Bloodsport…and obviously the TNA crossovers…but to see them strengthen and acknowledge a real deal is wild to me.

I also think it’s beneficial to both sides to do it. TNA gets more exposure, obviously. But any young talent sent to work TNA dates is getting very valuable experience. The roster is full of people with all different kinds of experience. It’s a good way to expose talent to styles and techniques and ways of doing things that are outside of the NXT/WWE way. There’s some good veterans to learn from. Combined with learning promos, developing characters and learning to work tv matches along with big event matches…it’s why I think TNA is a place every young talent should go to if WWE and AEW aren’t calling yet. Now that you know NXT eyes will have more than a front row seat…I’d imagine it’s a path a lot of talent might want to consider to get their attention.

Josh Alexander in WWE sheamus, Ilja, Gunther, Gable, Melo all matches I want to see. Plus that moment when LA Knight meets Hendry is gonna explode the internet

Let’s see

Jimmy Rave at a TNA House Show, plus multiple times at Rampage Pro Wrestling(funny enough he fought Creed at this tna event, lol)

AJ Styles at the same TNA House Show, and a dark match at a Raw not too long after the 2016 draft.(plus AJ was at a tv taping in Macon as well for TNA)

Jeff Hardy at a WWE House Show plus a TNA TV Taping.

Mickie James I would’ve saw at a house show for WWE plus the same tv taping for AJ and Jeff.

Luke Gallows I seen at Rampage Pro Wrestling, as well as a WWE Raw.

Those are the ones who I’ve seen twice at different promotions I remember. I could be forgetting some.

But for Creed/Woods, the first place I ever saw him was this small indie company called Dropkick Pro Wrestling, DKP. He was Austin Creed at the time. Didn’t think much of it at the time because of all the people there he wasn’t the one I thought make it big. Anyways, flash forward a few years later and he’s signed by TNA, I’m like oh hey that’s cool, I remember him. So then I see him fight Jimmy Rave at the house show mentioned above. Pretty cool to see him again after all those years. Then a bit more time goes by, and he’s signed to the WWE. I’m like hell yeah good for him. Then I saw him and the rest of the New Day at a Raw in 2016.

Fun fact it could be 4, but I missed a show if Rampage Pro Wrestling he was at. (Which tbh any one I’m forgetting that I saw at least two different promotions, would’ve probably been here as it was one of Georgia’s top indies for a good while)

should had that meme from when he failed going over the top with this too XD

 

[Dale]

That's a hell of a bold prediction.​

 

[Leon TrotSky]

That sounds fun as fuck but they'd never. They don't even have a cruiserweight division

 

[Dale]

Imagine she left out the key detail of it being on the WWE 2k game

 

[Chris]

She doesn't say this year tbf. Imagine how silly someone would have said "WarGames at Survivor Series will happen" in 1996.

Just wait until WWE buys the IP
