Nooooooooooooooo. It's too early for the genius that is Wade Barrett to be offered up as a sacrificial lamb for that cripples streak.

[Ramsay]

Surely this will be Takers last Mania though?
Id love if Barrett beat him and then Taker is gone..would be a good way to retire plus it'll put Barret way up on the roster as the guy who beat Taker at Mania
But i know well Taker will never lose

nah i think timing is perfect, it'll put all eyes on him alone without Nexus.

[Stu]

And he is suing them only now?

Did the family loose their trailer park licence or something?

My perfect image for the Royal Rumble is for Sheamus to have destroyed everyone around him than the #30 music hits and it's Triple H. King Of The Ring Vs. King Of Kings. The crowd would come unglued at that standoff.

I reckon King will flourish as well. They will probably give him a single digit number and put him in the last 4. I would love that. King really knows how to get the crowd going with what he is limited to. Been a real highlight of Raw the past few weeks.

Triple H is ... THE CHAPERONE!

Why have you posted this in three different threads? It's not exactly a great feat. Anyone can see it for free. It's pretty easy.

As noted before, Rey Mysterio has been pulled from this weekend's WWE live events and will be replaced by Big Show in matches against Alberto Del Rio. This is part of John Laurinaitis agreeing to give Mysterio an even easier schedule while he's working around the shoulder tear. Rey will continue to work all TV tapings and pay-per-view events but will be working limited live event dates for the time being.

- There's still no word yet on the severity of John Cena's hip injury or if he will return to ring action next week but with WWE officials really wanting him healthy enough to perform in the Royal Rumble match, it's likely he will be kept off live events until then. If he's healthy enough until then, Cena may work some TV matches.

FORMER WWE supertar Matt Hardy has joined his brother Jeff in TNA Wrestling.

In a busy 24 hours for the company, Mr Anderson also won his first world heavyweight championship while THREE other title changes also occurred.

Last night's Genesis PPV — shown on TNAondemand.com as the company iron out a new UK TV deal — had it all in terms of action and storyline development.

Hardy, sporting a new look, made his company debut on the show and shocked Rob Van Dam by being named Eric Bischoff's chosen opponent for him.

Matt controversially won the bout after a Twist Of Hate, even though RVD's leg seemed to be under the ropes for the three-count.

But the good guys got their revenge over the Hardyz, Bischoff and their Immortal group later in the show.

In the main event of the night Mr Anderson won a No1 contenders match against Matt Morgan and then wrenched heavyweight crown away from Jeff Hardy.

Bischoff set up the bout after Anderson had endured a gruelling brawl with Morgan, in order to try and ensure a fresh Jeff won.

But his plan backfired as the short match — which saw run-ins from Mick Foley, Ric Flair, Matt Hardy, RVD and Eric himself — was won in breathtaking style by Ken.

Immortal and Fortune fared well in title matches as Kazarian brought the X Division strap back to the fold. Meanwhile Beer Money Inc snagged the TNA Tag Team gold once again — toppling The Motor City Machine Guns — and Abyss claimed the TV Title from Douglas Williams, with a little help from an injured AJ Styles.

Genesis was a superb opener to TNA's 2011 campaign to nip at the WWE's heels and long may it continue...especially with a Tour just around the corner.

Kurt Angle was today announced as the latest addition to the TNA Maximum iMPACT Tour of Europe. He will wrestle at shows in Dublin, Glasgow, Manchester and London at the end of this month. AJ Styles has had to pull out of the events due to injury.

i read that Justin Bieber might be singing at Wrestlemania.

haaaaaaaaha

i will stop following if they use that little gimp.

I would absoloutely love it, just to see the over the top reaction of the hardcore fanz all over the web and the almighty booing he would get live.

But yeah it's just another internet rumor. People really ought to not put so much weight in them.

For a start he is Canadian. A Canadian singing the American naitonal anthem. Go figure.

[Iceman]

Yeah true actually, if V.G. gets so much heat I think blieber could double that haha

[Iceman]

HBK is the first Hall Of Famer. hmm so maybe not a WCW theme?

Watched Raw last night and ...

Spoiler:

I thought it was a fantastic show, despite the crowd picking and choosing when to be interested. I felt during the King/Cole showdown bit that they teased the GM reveal very heavily. I was sure King was going to take the laptop from Cole, get on the mic and inform us all that Michael Cole is the Raw GM. I'm not sure what to make of the new Nexus. Personally I like the cultish stuff Punk is doing in the role but Wade shone in that role too and I miss him in it already. The flogging of whatshisname was pretty cringy stuff though. Not only did it seem to me like a bit of a light initiation comapred to the others but he made constant, eerily porn like groaning sounds with each successive whip. I have roomates. Christ.

[Ramsay]

i have a weird feeling punk and cena are working together to take nexus down 'from the inside'
it would suck if that was the swerve
would be cool for slater and gabriel to go SM and join up with barrett
nexus hollywood vs nexus wolfpac

Jeff Hardy spoke to TMZ yesterday about his ongoing drug trial. You can check out video by clicking here.

TMZ notes that cops found 262 Vicodin pills, 180 Somas and 555 milliliters of anabolic steroids, as well as a residual amount of powder cocaine, in Hardy's home in North Carolina.

Hardy said he is going to plead guilty to a lesser charge as part of a deal to get a lighter sentence, saying, "I'll make the best of it, bro."

Hardy is due in court on January 20th. He said, "It's been a long while ... but it should get to an end soon."

For what it's worth, there is a real possibility that Hardy will serve a limited jail sentence. North Carolina drug laws are very strict. We'll see what happens on January 20th but there is a reason why TNA got the title off him ASAP. As I noted earlier, anyone with half a brain should have seen that one coming. There will also be a ton of media articles in the coming weeks and TNA obviously doesn't want those articles referring to their "World Champion" as a drug addict.

Regarding Nexus

Spoiler:

On Smackdown Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel ran in join in on a beatdown Wade Barrett was giving to Big Show. Ezekiel Jackson then came down and joined in as well. Seems we have two Nexuses now

[Stu]

Oh yes yes yes yes yes yes yes.

I hope they keep the same logo but in a different colour. Factions all the way. This is the best news all year.

Nexus Wolfpac in da house!

Yeah the factions are ace.

Punk vs Barrett at WM would be interesting but it won't happen obviously if they want Wade to face Taker instead...
