milamber Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I read that there was an informal agreement and WWE have sent the contract to Sting but he has yet to sign. It's speculated that he's having second thoughts because he wanted to have a match with a Taker (which is unlikely now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatChizzle Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 <p>When the Ultimate Warrior left WWF, Vince McMahon and Warrior both signed a non-disclousere that meant that WWF and Warrior wouldn't talk bad about each other. Warrior at some point after signing that, Warrior started talking bad about WWF, and broke the non-disclousere.</p><p> That was why WWF made "The Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior". To get even, so to speak, and was the main reason why WWF/WWE and Warrior were going at each other for years.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaysin Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Yeah. He talks about his time in various companies while wrestling guys like Kazarian and Abyss using mystical powers. I bought it strictly to show support to my favorite wrestler of all time, but so so so bad! To top that off, all these supposed historical matches are happening in the Impact zone in a six sided ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThriceP86 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 <p>Anyone ecstatic that Paige is now the Divas champion? I think with her and Emma on the main roster really bolsters the Divas division. Hopefully, they let Emma and Paige put on another classic like they did on NXT.</p><p> </p><p> Paige has a good look and I believe she could be the one Diva that the division could be centered around. Emma has some great wrestling skill and doesn't hurt that she was trained by Lance Storm. They could totally make them to be like the next Lita and Trish for the division. I'm not saying Paige and Emma could be the new Lita and Trish but I'm sure WWE can utilize them, and they have a great mix of "ingredients," to bring back some legitimacy to the Divas division.

I know she just started on the main roster and hoping it means there are good things to come for her. I just realized after watching Shimmer Volume 53 that Saraya Knight is her mother and looked up about Paige's family. They have put all there energy on getting their kids (like Paige, she has two brothers Zack and Roy) into the mainstream. I also hope Zack does get signed by WWE, he seems to have the tenacity but WWE doesn't like his look and have told him to get bigger, of course. WWE won't hire Roy because of his past run ins with the law.</p><p> </p><p> I bet UK wrestling fans on this board are aware of what I'm talking about.

I agree that TV Emma has been pretty mediocre though, but that might just be that she's stuck with Santino, who can occasionally be funny but is just grating 90% of the time.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
