Possible plans for the NXT finalists

As noted before, there is talk of having a four-way match for the Unified Tag Team Titles at WWE’s Fatal 4 Way PPV. Fatal 4 Way may also see the winner of NXT make his PPV debut and The Miz vs. Daniel Bryan is another possible match for the show.

One of the working ideas has been for the winner of NXT team with his Pro for a Unified Tag Team Title shot. This could be Chris Jericho & Wade Barrett, R-Truth & David Otunga or Matt Hardy & Justin Gabriel getting the title shot. Another possible ending for NXT is for David Otunga to win and challenge R-Truth for the United States Title.

It’s been said that Otunga, Barrett and Bryan are the only three NXT rookies who are guaranteed a main roster spot, although Gabriel is likely to stick around also.

WOOT, the best of the NXT roster will stick around! biggrin

But Otunga's in there...and why? They don't even trust him enough to wrestle (he didn't have a match two weeks ago, last week he did nothing in the tag match except get the "fluke pin" wink . There's no reason he should be in a wrestling ring. And considering NXT's ratings...I don't think people are tuning in to see Jennifer Hudson's fiance suck at being a pro wrestler...

Well I didn't exactly state that I was thrilled about Otunga (well it did sure sound like that, I'm guessing) but I am excited about the other three. I'm never gonna be an Otunga fan, to be honest. cool

Sorry, that wasn't directed at your statement (I kinda figured you left Otunga out of there). It was a separate thought brought on by your comment. And personally, I'd rather have all 7 of the other Rookies before I'd let Otunga into a WWE ring...hopefully he'll be gone quickly (or buried on Superstars).

Latest news on the no-blood policy in WWE

The Undertaker suffered a busted nose on this week's Smackdown, thanks to Rey Mysterio's 619. Taker bled for a few minutes before the match ended and no trainer was sent out to stop the blood. It's interesting that this happened after two matches were hurt at Over the Limit due to trainers coming out to stop cuts.

Some people in the company figure that the no-blood rule is just a phase and blame it mostly on Linda McMahon running for office. One of the main reasons WWE has stopped wanting blood on TV is because agreements that have been made to attract a higher class of sponsors. The feeling is that if WWE's popularity goes way down then they would probably change the rule but Linda McMahon winning or losing the election won't bring any changes. Dave Meltzer believes that the PG rule will likely be in effect until either the license deal with Mattel runs out, which is years from now, or another company, such as TNA, takes away from WWE's popularity.

I just think Taker has stated that they had better not stop a match of his due to blood. I think that if they tried it, you'd have an injured trainer and a pissed off Taker.

Pretty much this. There was another match a while back where Taker was bleeding and they didnt stop the match. You cant really look like a bad a** dead man when you've got a trainer dabbing your nose with a tissue.

And yes, I did have a mental image of that, and yes, the trainer was using baby talk.

Two Knockouts cleared to wrestle again

TNA president Dixie Carter announced on Thursday that both Angelina Love and Daffney have received medical clearance to return to the ring. Carter said the duo "will be back in the coming weeks."

Rarely used Knockout avoids getting cut

Infrequently seen TNA Knockout Hamada was recently in danger of being released but scored a reprieve from management due to the shortage of female wrestling created by Lisa Marie Varon's departure from the organization, as well as injuries suffered by Angelina Love and Daffney. Talk of cutting Hamada led to much head scratching amongst the wrestlers as she's considered the best worker in the Knockouts division.

That idea makes me laugh. If the trainer had come out and stopped Taker's match there would have been a lot of blood.

Yeah. I loved Lisa though. Yay for Daff coming back. Zombie Hot= heart

[Wes Von Helson]

Just a few comments:

About Matt Hardy: Don't believe his crap about getting a world title shot. He's been claiming he'll have that since like, 2005. The only thing he's going to get is beaten down by Drew McIntyre on Smackdown, which is really a very good position for him!

About NXT: So, the guy who can't wrestle (Otunga) and the overrated big guy (Barrett) are guaranteed spots with Danielson. I don't know, I think Barrett is good but not really anything special. Either way the series hasn't gone the way WWE wanted it to, because its mostly hardcore fans of Danielson and FCW who stick around to watch it. It started off okay but the challenges and all the angles started making it less interesting and less focused on what it was supposed to do.

About Hamada and Daffney: Thank god Hamada was spared and I LOVE YOU DAFFNEY.

That is all!

Update on Mickie James going to TNA

TNA president Dixie Carter interestingly said on her Twitter account that she attended Mickie James's album release party in Nashville. The May 20th event was actually not the first time Carter and James met as the two met in person shortly after the multi-time Women's Champion release from WWE to begin informal discussions on joining TNA.

The Pro Wrestling Torch has confirmed that TNA plans to offer James a contract once her 90-day no-compete clause with WWE expires in late July.

Well it looks like Mickie just might go to TNA... smile

I think joining TNA would do wonders for Mickie. It certainly did for Lisa.
