I've noticed that Cole points out a running total of days that Charlotte has spent as champion since retaining (and I guess retiring) the Divas' title at Wrestlemania, and subsequently being crowned the new Women's champion. Combining her reign as divas champ and her current run would have her break Nikki Bella's record (she's already at over 290 days combined). Is the new Women's title going to continue the lineage of the Divas title (so that previous winners like the Bellas, Alicia Fox, Natalya, etc. still "count"), allowing Charlotte to claim the new record, or will the title just be treated as brand spanking new with its own lineage apart from the previous belt?
My gut is the women's title and the length of the belt will be treated as a new championship with it's own lineage, but WWE could always go back on that depending on whatever story they intend to tell at the moment.
Does that Roman Reigns crowd reaction just drive you crazy. John Cena has been getting that for years, and well deserved, though mainly not his fault. Dude busts his ass but the whole superman thing is what did it for him. However, with Reigns, it comes off more of a "this is how we are suppose to react because the WWE brass like him, so we don't". It comes of very markish to me and just drives me nuts. Am I alone on this one?
You aren't nuts. It's been an ongoing discussion on PWInsider Audio about whether it's gotten to the point that it's just fans trying to ruin the flow of the show by booing who WWE wants to get the hero's welcome or whether it's lingering resentment over him being the hand-picked top star or something else. What is interesting to me is that even when Reigns has had amazing matches that in most cases, feature performances that would set up the crowd to at least show him some respect begrudgingly, it doesn't happen.
Why can't TNA run Impact in nightclubs instead of soundstages ? They would be usually guaranteed a sell out every time with more intimate crowds of 1000 - 1500 actually PAID and they would have an atmosphere similar to that of the Impact Zone and larger indie shows. I enjoyed when WWF did it back in the attitude era with Shotgun Saturday Night, and it would bring a different and better atmosphere to Impact.
It's an interesting idea, but honestly, given the amount of content that TNA tapes over the course of a week, the soundstage is the best place for them.
Whos title run has been worse Hulk Hogans 1993 WWF title reign or The Rocks 2013 WWE title reign? And why?
I would say the Hogan one because at least The Rock's run led to a big Wrestlemania crowd. Hogan's title run went nowhere and sent WWF off-course creatively just as Bret Hart was building up some real steam.
Do you think Jim Johnston should make it into the WWE Hall of Fame? He's worked there since 1985 and he's done some iconic themes and must be considered a huge behind the scenes worker, like Kevin Dunn.
That seems to be a no brainer to me!
