Has he been officially moved? He’s still assigned to Raw on wwe.com. I thought he was just making an appearance, as cross-brand appearances are ok because it’s Rumble time.

I'm steering clear of Rumble spoilers/rumors although one for the women's Rumble has been pretty much impossible to avoid and, if she did enter, she'd almost certainly have to be winning. Still, they've got 7 open spots in that one and I imagine they can just phone up some NXT women to participate and fill it out as needed.
Men's Rumble has 25 spots filled and that includes guys like Moss and Boogs who were meant to be sidekicks but became regulars. Also the Dirty Dawgs who sadly nobody cares about anymore. Not expecting anything too crazy for the final 5. Probably a token legend. Maybe an NXT entrant or two. If they wanted another wacky announcer spot then you can always have Graves and/or McAfee enter. |

Hayter’s hip tattoo looks a lot larger. Unless she’s recently had it redone?

Mustafa Ali decided he needed to comment on his status for the RR and said "No I would not like to be in the Royal Rumble. I would like my release."
What an idiot. They are going to sit him on the shelf for his entire contract now and probably try to find some way to extend it out against his will. |

The goal wasn’t to get out, it was to get over. But now I’m already sick of the guy, so it probably isn’t a case of subliminally marketing himself to hardcores, but the guy actually being a short-sighted moron. |

They should just cut him. Why the fuck would you want to pay somebody the amount his downside is worth when he voluntarily telling you to stop giving him money? It’s silly. |

If they could sue and get out of contracts others would have already done it.
Wwe has been known to be petty about releasing people in the past. Nothing suggests they have changed. They will ice him out of pure spite. |

Pac and del Rio both got out of their contracts. It’s not impossible. But if they’re not gonna use him he’ll still get paid so it’s not that bad I guess

That doesn’t surprise me. I saw they made him an offer. I can imagine he’ll be a talent scout and maybe a conduit between them and New Japan while doing some on-screen stuff. He might also have the flexibility to work the WWE should they want him for special appearances, the Hall of Fame, documentaries, cameos, etc.

I'd assume Regal won't have to move to work for Impact so that's probably a big plus. Are they still based out of Florida? I'd imagine he can shape them up, which they are partially doing themselves. Impact really just needs to be able to draw a comparable crowd to what they used to and I think their show would immediately pop up as a more entertaining weekly watch.

He could definitely really help them, but he’s also going to carry more influence and respect there. It’s probably closer to his sort of wrestling, overall.

Impact has a really great roster right now. They have a a few hanger on's not adding much that could be replaced or cut but go to their site and take a look. There is a lot of potential there especially if they can get another couple draws like Braun or Bray from the WWE releases.

Yeah Regal would still have to go into Nashville but as far as I know they tape a month's worth of tapings in a single weekend, so it's still a far cry from being on the road every week.

Shane McMahon is booked for Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania.
I'd assume he's gonna end up wrestling Austin Theory. |

This was the stupidest part of the Rumble, just like his tourney win in Saudi Arabia last year, or whenever the fuck THAT was. Shane needs to go away, he is in no way a legit threat to anyone and throws punches worse than my kids. |

I am a big Shane-O-Mac fan. He has entertained me a lot over the years.
But I don't think we need to see him rassle on the biggest show. A part of a Survivor Series team [if the still do those]? Sure. A WrestleMania program? Not really. Also he still throws probably the worst punches in the business. I know it's not exactly easy to make a punch look good, but goddamn. |
