~MAKING THIS A PERM THREAD TO REDUCE ALL THE CLUTTER THREADS. THIS THREAD IS ABOUT THE LATEST RUMORS ONLINE ABOUT ANY WRESTLER THAT'S RELEVANT TO YOU. (That means post your finds too, ignoramuses.~
1. There's lots of wild rumors going around that Rick Flair is no longer under contract with TNA, he's named in TNA's lawsuit against WWE even though WWE claims he was terminated from TNA's contract before the claim was filed. Another rumor is that while he's no longer under contract with TNA that WWE might hire him back to play a 'coach' role for new talents ie (mainly) Dolph Ziggler. Thoughts?

I don't know, the last time I paid attention to TNA was when Bischoff was being dumped in a portapotty; Flair was there. I already made it known that Ziggler reminds me a hellva lot of Flair, just no legit gold yet.

Which weaves into part two!

2. Over the years we've seen many stars come an go, some holding the gold while others flopped. Many have proclaimed 'blarrrg' being the most controversial reign, but what, in your own opinion, was the most controversial reign for any title in the NWA,WWF/E, WCW, ECW, etc. (70's-now)

idk if there is a topic like this made in the past month or year...yeah.

1. Flair and Ziggler? Mother of God, how amazing would that be?! I think Dolph can talk for himself now, but having a guy like Flair back him (and this is only if Flair spends the time backing him and not talking about himself) then it would do wonders for him. Hell, it'd do wonders just to get him away from Vicky.

2. Hmmm...tough one. But I think I'd go with Shane Douglas winning the NWA World Heavyweight Title, and then throwing it down. I'm sure as far as reigns go, it wasn't that controversial, but it was influential in creating ECW (changing it to Extreme Championship Wrestling from Eastern Championship Wrestling), which then changed the rest of the wrestling world.

Doesn't feel terribly fresh.

What more is there to say other than, "Ric Flair for manager/coach? Sounds interesting, I'd like to see it in action and see what we get."

If I had of been old enough to know what was going on back then. /mourns. If ECW, that WE know, wasn't created like that I wonder how many wrestlers wouldn't have 'made' it?

Fresher than all the s**t that's here now!

Flair, either you love him or hate him. I hate when he goes off into this long winded monologues about himself, I love to see him stir crap up and egg people on. He would do great backing up Ziggler and help put him over.

I guess I didn't sound terribly enthusiastic.

But YES, I too wanna see it happen. emotion_dealwithit
I think I like the Idea of Ziggler and Flair more than I would like actually seeing it.

Yeah. There's a possibility of it being amazing, but then there's the possibility of it being the same thing as Flair in TNA. However, considering how heavily scripted WWE is, I don't think Flair will be able to have those same promos he did in TNA where he tried to steal all the focus. Plus, he did wonders for Orton when Flair was with Evolution.

As of 7/7/2012 There's a new rumor making waves; Dragon Gate wrestler Johnny Gargano, has been rumored to have signed a developmental deal with the WWE to wrestle in FCW. He had a trial last year on Superstars that went well in a match against Brodus Clay.

Yay or Nay?

Good for Gargano...though, they should really hit up Chuck Taylor as well. With all the kids in a WWE audience...mother of god....

I'm not saying that's how he is, that's just what I got from the video.

I don't like Gargano but it's more due to him replacing Gran Akuma in FIST
