I could not find this asked before (but I am sure it has), but is there any way to edit a title's lineage in a saved game? I know you can do it in the database before creating a new game, but I had one guy in a tag team retire (no advance warning other than he is 47) so the titles were vacated. I figured maybe I can just edit him to an occasional wrestler and have them drop the belts on my next show ahead of my scheduled plans, so I put the belts back on them and now the lineage shows them as two time champs....all I want to do is delete the extra line. Thanks in advance!

NWA Tag Team Championship Qualifier The Aces of Mayhem vs The Rock City Stars Comment: This is a toss up to me, I think the Aces are the better choice because Turner usually goes on a tour with his band mid year. For the NWA Television Championship 'The Hardcore American' Chris Caulfield © vs Charlie Corner Comment: The hardcore one definitely wins over the kid, waiting for his showdown with Youngman Miller Fforde vs Doug Peak Comment: No reason to have the visitor win One Man Army vs Andre Jones Comment: Seems like Jones will win since he needs momentum going into the Heavyweight title match, I smell some outside interference. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Extra - What question would you like to have J.K. Stallings Jr answer? Question: What was your biggest regret when you sold your company?

I dunno, Andrew Miller is pretty "Wild Thing" like, and just as nasty on the mound.

I read somewhere that TNA is hoping that the current round of tapings will get them through 2016 and the rebranded company will debut in 2017. It also sounds like all talent and TV contracts will remain in tact and the only thing going to the WWE is the video library going back to 2002. I would love to see WWE Network release the weekly PPVs that TNA did back in 2002 and 2003...there were some great matches back then and you can never get enough Monty Brown.....The POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUNCE!!!!!!

<p>Looks like the WWE has agreed to purchase the TNA video library and Corgan is going to take over as President and rebrand the company. </p><p> </p><p> <a href="http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2016/1005/618119/jim-ross-says-that-wwe-buying-tna-library-is-imminent/" rel="external nofollow">http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2016/1005/618119/jim-ross-says-that-wwe-buying-tna-library-is-imminent/</a></p>

I don't know why, but Ambrose reminds me of Roddy Piper....maybe it's the "crazy" gimmick but whenever I see him, Piper is the first guy to pop in my head. I think Ambrose is great in the ring and has good mic skills, but there is something about him that I just don't like and I just can't figure it out. On a side note, did anyone like that they turned Carmella on Smackdown? I think she will be a great annoying heel....I never liked her as a face and I think the only reason she was a face was because she was linked to Enzo and Cass down in NXT. I think her feud with Nikki will be good....although I see Nikki coming out on top when Carmella should be the one to get the build from it.

Sounds like they are, Backlash was announced as returning as a SmackDown branded event in September.

I really hope they do the floating title(s) between brands. I could be an easy storyline between the two brands, where both want to have more titles than the other, but I have this feeling that there will be a new Women's and Tag Title for Smackdown once they build up both divisions so they are not so top heavy.

Oh I know they are not going to take the title off Ambrose this soon, nor should they. I think the match will be a good one and I really hope that down the road he gets another run with the top title.

He is a great worker in the ring and has charisma and it seems the fans are behind him. Plus he can play the face or heel role really well. I am looking forward to the match between him and Ambrose at Summerslam, I just wonder if one of them is going to turn heel or AJ somehow gets involved.</p>

We were scratching our heads on the finish of Young/Miz as well. It looked to me like after Maryse slapped him, he jumped up and tried to tear off his shirt and she fell backward and then was saying that Backlund hit her to Miz, which set him off and he ran down and got into his face and shoved him to the ground, then the bell sounded? Not sure what the heck they are trying to do....

<p>After watching that Final Deletion match, the biggest part that sticks out in my head every time I hear the word "delete" is this:</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="c5223bc3afe4f555-600x400.png" data-src="https://cdn3.whatculture.com/images/2016/07/c5223bc3afe4f555-600x400.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

I couldn't agree more with you on TNA. I used to watch it back when they did the weekly PPVs for $10 and loved watching guys like Jerry Lynn, Team Canada, The Flying Elvis's and my personal favorite 'The Alpha Male' Monty Brown. TNA back from about 2003/04 til 2009, (before Hogan came in and in my opinion ruined the company) was some of the best wrestling I had watched in a very long time. To me it rivaled WCW in it's heyday and I was really happy to have something other than the big bad WWE to watch. I really think it went downhill fast after Hogan came in and started trying to go head to head with WWE and that is all most people remember, they look at TNA as this "WWE wannabe" and forget that it actually used to be great and had it's own identity.

Do both!!! Glad to hear you are coming back, always liked reading your stuff.

<p>WrestleMania still looks mediocre and RAW last night didn't do a whole lot to help it much.</p><p> </p><p> To me the best parts of the show last night was the "A-Hole" and "CM Punk" chants to Mr McMahon....and I thought his response to them were great. And the very end of the show when Triple-H and Bray had that stare down. Other than that, nothing really knocked me off my seat.</p><p> </p><p> The Sammy/KO thing was good, but a little predictable and of course the Heel turn of <span style="color:#FFFFFF;">Chris Jericho</span> was good but also predictable.</p><p> </p><p> I am really hoping they pull something out of the air to make it seem more like a Wrestlemania....but my hopes are not too high.</p>

With all the players retiring from the NFL early and all the news about concussions causing CTE, I think he and his wife made the decision together. Bryan said they want to start a family and he wants to be around to see his kids grow up. I was hoping it was a work, but after watching the speech it was clear to me he made this decision after getting some news that while yes he could continue to wrestle, but knew there was a huge risk. I don't think the WWE played much of a role in his decision....they just looked like an NFL team keeping a player out another week because of a concussion.

I have this feeling that Bryan will give his retirement speech and someone from League of Nations will interrupt him and we will have him in a feud with someone (Sheamus?) and a match at Fastlane leading to something at Mania.
