Cole Miner Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I think Miz's best match was the falls count anywhere against Morrison on RAW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.J. Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Man I'm really hoping Evan Bourne returns in the Rumble, even if it is just to get killed by Reigns. Although if he doesn't, then I'd start to give more weight to the whole "Vince forgot he existed" hypothesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Jeff Jarrett just announced his resignation from TNA. Probably not a good sign for the potential TNA sale, since he was apparently strongly linked with the potential buyer in TNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kafkonia Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Outside of developmental, did Batista and Lesnar ever wrestle each other? Because that is a face-off I'd like to see in the Rumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterCopperpot Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Just looking through some old results to find an answer to this question and this bizarre match came up Also, there was a short time at the end of the 2003 Rumble match they were in the ring together WWF @ Chicago, IL - AllState Arena - February 18, 2002 (13,967)WWF Tag Team Champions Tazz & Spike Dudley defeated Brock Lesnar & Leviathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Even with them in developmental still, I'm not sure how you book Spike Dudley (who I like) to be the winner in a match with Brock and Big Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolCB Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 The finish likely saw Taz drag a paralysed Spike over for the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 It's too bad Tazz had no sense of humor as a wrestler, because that match would've been awesome if it was based around Tazz doing Mikey Whipwreck tribute bumps before winning with a roll up.

ebbie Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I don't know why, but I'm just so incredibly happy and entertained by this: That makes me happy because only a select few legit good guys get to have a feel good moment. I am damn sure that will be the Usos' favorite career moment ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Preview in a nutshell: Nigel: My life is terrible. Steen: No it's not. Nigel: Yes it is. Steen: No it's not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 That is the gist of every interview Nigel has ever given though. The Eeyore of pro wrestling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I have mixed feelings on Nigel. I understand how bitter he must feel, but in many ways, he pretty much set himself up for failure: I'm sure he does love the business, but his main priority was clearly making money and becoming famous. No one getting into wrestling (short of an Olympic athlete or UFC guy) should be expecting that. It's too much of a long shot. Didn't he realize, while he was taking all those stupid bumps in ROH, that it might, you know, eventually cause his some serious damage and potentially cost him a WWE deal? There are other ways to get into WWE beyond killing yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Apparently, while Jarrett is no longer an employee of TNA, he still retains his 29% ownership of the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I imagine 29% of TNA is worth $5 dollars, a Subway coupon and a free day pass to Universal Studios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 What exactly is going on w/ Nigel? I remember his TNA run got cut short, but I never saw anything that suggested why. Heard some rumbling, nothing certain, about possible hep. Then I saw some stuff to suggested concussion issues, but again, nothing clear. And everything else has been "poor Nigel," "a cautionary tale," suggestions of poor in-ring decisions (those stupid face bumps into the ringposts!), but still nothing clear. If it's not sleaze, can somebody help me out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fresh Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Nigel helped me out big time and taught me a lot. And always was available to talk to for advice. I'll never have a bad word to say about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Orton, and possibly Abdullah the Butcher.

Territorial Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Saw Jonathan Coachman on ESPN2. He's done reasonably well for himself post-WWE. I'm a little surprised Vince hasn't decided to humiliate him for having a career after his stint with the company. I keep expecting a bald midget named Jonathan Catchman to show up on RAW and be inducted into Hornswoggle's Kiss My Ass club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 To be fair, I don't think the way Nigel's career ended was what made him bitter. Anyone you talk to, including Nigel himself, has always said he has been rather pessimistic and disenfranchised about pro wrestling since basically day one. That being said, he was always nice, personable and well spoken whenever I got a chance to talk with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptain Kayfabe Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Nigel is such a weird case. I remember when he started in HWA, he wasn't even one of the top 5 guys there. He came across like a guy doing a hybrid Steven Regal/British punk rock gimmick but not really good at either. He always seemed really easy going though, like he was either super carefree or extremely naive about the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
