So I guess this is what’s going to make the WWE folks sweep the whole “Jake Hager busted for pot possession” under the rug, right? Because you know they’re supposed to punish the guy for something like that, right? Isn’t that what happened to RVD when he was busted years ago?

WWE Wellness Program detractors, I’m offering you fuel to validate your arguments. Make the most of it.

So Dwayne debuted a new WWE Championship; the one that’s been rumored for some time now. I suppose anything would be a step above John Cena’s Vanity Belt that they’ve been using for years… although I must admit that it is a nice looking title belt, even if the design seems a bit lazy, for lack of a better word.

Hey, here’s a fun idea for WWE. Track down every former WWE Champion between 2005 and 2013 and give them replicas of this title belt so they can replace the crappy spinner belt.

Quickie Update: Just to refresh some people’s memories, this is the blog post that featured the first leak of the new championship. (Not claiming I got it first; it only links to another page that may or may not be there.)

TNA going on the road for the Impact tapings?

Great idea. It’s long overdue, as a matter of fact. They need an audience that’s actually going to be receptive and excited about their product. They need an audience that’s actually willing to PAY MONEY to watch their live TV tapings and they’re not going to be getting that from an Impact Zone full of tourists and plants. It doesn’t matter how good or bad your wrestling show is; the crowd is often a key component that can make or break your show. And the lifeless Impact Zone, more often than not, was not the best crowd to work in front of.

So yeah, I’m all for TNA going on the road for their Impact tapings and PPVs even. Of course, word has it that WWE is already preparing their old predatory tactics of blocking TNA from hosting their shows at various arenas… because that’s what they do to their competition.

“But wait!” one anonymous WWE employee says, “TNA isn’t competition!”

Well, I say… … … … … … … … “You suck.”

Later.
