Any Pro-Wrestling Fans Around?

And breaking news out of TNA.

President Scott D'amore has just been fired by Anthem. The guy who just rebuilt TNA, has just been cut from TNA.

Either A. He did something really dumb. Or most likely B. This was purely an Anthem call and they want TNA to be more in line with AEW or TKO's WWE, since TNA is now being folded into the Entertainment arm of Anthem. 

Expect a lot of people to walk if they don't let D'Amore back in. Tons of folks are loyal to Scott and stuck with TNA just for him. With his ability to turn around failing feds and manage them back to stability, he'd be a welcome asset. Maybe Billy Corgan will let him in to revamp the NWA. Or Tony Khan will give him ROH to manage. 

What a year this week has been.

More wrestling monster trucks, this time by Monster Jam.

 

Funny enough, Goldberg is still around as 'Maximum Destruction'.

Not sure this is a very good move. Smells of a purely Anthem call here.

Sting’s last match is at AEW Revolution.

According to things I've read the answer is "B" but I also know to take what wrestling sites say with a block of salt.

The last time was super excited for WrestleMania was for WrestleMania 31, how fast has the years gone by?

[Sparklefan1234 162,424]

I don't know how they'll be able to bring prestige back to the World Heavyweight Championship since they've said it's a nothing title.

That said,

I think Seth's been the only holder of this particular version of the World Heavyweight Championship so it's like there isn't anything

worth winning, if that makes sense.

I understand, Spark.

Glad you’re excited about the wrestling, I am on one side but fearing about the other side.

I'm not sure if it's ALL Triple H but someone over in WWE is doing something to make me interested in their shows again.

I usually watched for a few weeks before a new WWE2K game released so I could figure out who the newest roster additions are

but now I actually want to watch WWE because they're making me care about what's happening for the first time in a very long time.

WWE has kept me watching and interested in their show lately, it’s not the greatest but it’s not the worst.

 

There are things that need improvement but it’s at least watchable for me.

 

I’m keeping myself away from AEW Revolution results since it’s Sting’s last match and it’s not a match that I’m looking forward to.

We'll say WWE is "getting better".

I’m wondering if I should swallow my pride and watch the end of Sting’s final run in AEW, any opinions?

Yep, and still driven by Tom Meents, who's won 12 Monster Jam World Finals Racing And Freestyle titles, more than any other driver, hence his nickname "The Professor".

I'm positive you will convince yourself to watch AEW since Sting is one of your favorite wrestlers of all-time.

[Denim&Venöm 16,704]

Almost forgot. 

Lats month I went to my local indy, Brew City Wrestling's Cage War event, which featured the War Games style retirement of company founder, Frankie 'Thumper' DeFalco, who's been in the business since the AWA days. Even having worked Superstars matches against HBK and Rick Rude. A bunch of other stuff happened too.

I was asking for opinions since I’m not sure what I should do.
