Looks like Kevin Nashs firing was legitimate
That lasted long :lol:
There's no doubt they have been using media a lot more to further storylines so I wouldn't say so for definite just yet!
From his own Twitter:
"To set the record straight, I passed physical w/ flying colors. Cardiologist was amazed at my lipid profile. Couldn't reach financial terms. I will not be addressing this matter again. I am moving forward with my life. Cena, it was great having the chance to get to know you."
Had to spoil it right there at the end didn't he?...
Still not absolutely convinced this is a shoot yet though, the "I will not be addressing this matter again" thing seems a bit too convenient (unless he has been given a gagging order)
Cena :bow:
His world...Quote:

Yeah the fact Nash's last 'scene' was driving away with Laurinaitis (someone who has not been 'fired') is probably a fairly huge smoking gun.
I very much hope there is more to it, as "sending a text to himself" is a plot with more holes in it than Sainsburys' own 'sports socks' after one wear (speaking from experience there). Although if the plan is for him to come back as Oz("how dare you?HOW DARE YOUUU?" ), then I hope his leaving IS a shoot :lol:Quote:

He'll be dead within the year
All the talent in the world but fucked in the head
The Nash thing is strange, if he had meds now something must have changed as he competed in the Rumble. It must be storyline.
Same could be said for Kurt Angle really. Although I think Jeff Hardy is just a spot-monkey.Quote:

MICK FOLEY admits he flopped during his three-year stay with TNA — but is ready to re-establish himself in WWE.
The four-time world champion — who embarks on a multi-date UK Stand Up Comedy tour in November — joined Dixie Carter's organisation in late 2008, vowing to make an immediate impact with the wrestling firm.
But in an exclusive interview with SunSport, Foley conceded: "I cannot look back and say I did everything I wanted to do in TNA.
"I would have liked to have been considered a good investment that Dixie Carter made. I don't think that she or I would think that the investment they put into me paid off for them.
"I think I could have contributed more and in a better way, but it did not work out that way."
Foley parted ways amicably with TNA in June, having only just been given the role of 'Network Executive' on the Impact Wrestling TV show. But he felt it was time to move on.
He said: "I was very honest with (Head of Talent Relations) Terry Taylor, and told him I just kind of lost faith in the company and that I really shouldn't be one of the guys that they centred their future around.
"The Network role was a great role for someone that really believed in the company. I wish they would have allowed me to leave a couple of weeks earlier or allowed me to stay another six or seven weeks, to make something out of that role."
Yet despite being out of the business for just three months, Foley is already being linked with a shock return to WWE.
After leaving in acrimonious circumstances prior to his TNA run, Foley was endorsed by the company on several occasions despite working for their main rivals, with his TNA-themed book even publicised on WWE television.
And the 46-year-old legend refused to quash rumours he is set to return to Vince McMahon's organisation before the end of the year.
Foley said: "I'm open to doing any number of things. It's a very good company with a lot of ways for a guy like me to make a contribution.
"Without knocking Impact Wrestling, your contribution was largely limited to what you could do in the TV show. WWE is a bigger company with a bigger infrastructure and a lot more ways to make a contribution."
Foley was semi-active as a wrestler during his time in the Impact Zone and revealed he would be open to a return to the ring in WWE — should the right opportunity present itself.
But he indicated that should the lacing of his boots not be required, he is satisfied with his body of work, and his last match particularly.
Foley said: "I was really happy with that last match I had with Ric Flair. If that turns out to be my last match ever that would be a really good way to go.
"But if there is something big, if there is one or two matches I could have with WWE, to elevate one of the younger talents or does big business for the company, then I would certainly do my best to give people a memorable match."
Despite displaying an imaginative mind for the inner working of the wrestling business, Foley does not believe that working with creative teams backstage is one of the many role he could fulfil in WWE.
He said: "That's the one thing that's not on the table. I wouldn't want that pressure and I couldn't take that pressure.
"Having to come through with ideas every week. I think Brian Gewirtz and Michael Hayes deserve some type of special peace prizes for being able to it on a weekly basis. I couldn't do it and wouldn't do it."
After years in the wrestling wilderness, Bret "The Hitman" Hart returned to WWE in January 2010, and has featured sporadically ever since.
He has made one-off appearances on TV, helped to further angles and hosted house shows. Would this be the kind of role that appeals to Foley?
He said: "That would be a pretty neat role and that's something that has been talked about.
"Back in 2004 Vince McMahon basically told me to consider WWE to be my playground, and that I could come and play any time I wanted to.
"It has been pointed out that I have a couple of days off on my tour when WWE just happens to be in the UK. So you never know. I may ask if I can play around for a little while."
Can see him back in the WWE especially at a Raw episode where the Rock takes part
He'll be on very soon I reckon.
Just watched Raw.
CM Punk and Triple H :bow:
We want Ice Cream.
:bow:
Phil Brooks :bow:
I really hope he is committed soon. He needs it.
Should do a Matt v Jeff match. Loser gets rehab. The winner doesnt and probably dies
Wrestlemania 29, Vince make it happen
Something tells me they'd book a draw for that one. :lol:Quote:

On the same team? Hmm, I don't know, I can't work out a scenario where they would need to be on the same team. The Rock being at Survivor Series is pretty much guaranteed though. Maybe it is all dependent on the CM Punk/HHH stuff.
Also, HBK's tweet earlier today:
On screen Kliq. :pray:Quote:

But also the referee :bow:
As long as it doesn't get too convoluted (which was not the case for the finish of the NoC main event - WCW 2000-style overbooking there), I like the way Miz and Truth have been brought into this. Will they eventually head a new renegade group with Nash involved? :popcorn:
Oh, and stop treating Morrison like Iron Mike Sharpe, okthanksta.
Spoiler is TNA-related, but on the off-chance that anyone actually watches that trash*
* Noticed I actually have Challenge (and GOLD, and Dave) despite not changing my Sky package. Zuh? :unsure:
So Miz and Truths firing isnt genuine then? :lol:
I wonder how they'll come back especially as HHH is the one whos fired them and hes the boss. Vince cant bring them back.
Challenge is one of the free ones with Sky I thought.Quote:

nWo? :popcorn: If that is what happens, I hope they run with it long term for once.
Ah. Just seen I have been 'upgraded' to Entertainment Super Pack or something :good:
Ah that'll explain it then.

STEVE AUSTIN'S dream final wrestling match would be against current WWE star CM Punk.
Stone Cold retired due to injury in 2003 after battling The Rock at WrestleMania XIX but has since built a successful career as a movie star.
His latest release, Born To Fight, is out on DVD next week and the grappling legend reckons his current Twitter banter with Punk could turn into a full-blown scrap at WWE's showpiece pay-per-view event.
Austin, who was the face of the WWE's revamped Tough Enough series, told SunSport: "I think Punk is a great guy.
"I'd say he looks up to me for what I did in the ring back in the day — and I look up to him for what he is doing now. I'd say it's a case of mutual respect.
"I hear the stories and if the stars aligned and all things worked out to benefit us all — the WWE, myself and Punk — I'd say that he is the guy I'd pick to face.
"I'm sure I could get another match out of this carcass of mine."
Austin, 46, had a taste of what it would be like to step back in the ring at WrestleMania when he officiated the Michael Cole-Jerry Lawler match at this year's event — which also featured his close friend and mentor Jim Ross.
He added: "Mania was a lot of fun. If you can't be one of the guys in the ring competing, why not be the guy who is pulling the strings in there instead?
"I enjoyed the experience and it's always fun to be in a WWE ring. I really get the fans and they still appreciate what I've done and continue to do.
"WWE has changed, it was a lot edgier in my day, but things do move on and that was my time I guess.
"It's fun being closer to wrestling again. I loved Tough Enough and hear there may be a second series.
"If a few other things get ironed out in the company first, I'd say it's a good 95 per cent guaranteed. My Involvement was a lot more hands on than I expected and I enjoyed that.
"Wrestling is part of my system. I don't miss the bumps, the travel grind or the pain, but I do enjoy it when I get back and feel the rush of being in front of a crowd."
Stone Cold also gave us his views on one match set for next year's WrestleMania — John Cena against his old rival The Rock — and the Hulk Hogan-Sting bout that is likely to take place at TNA's showpiece event Bound For Glory.
Austin said: "A year-long build is something no one has ever done so Cena v Rock will be very interesting. Rock is doing his thing in Hollywood so can't make every taping, plus you can't overdo these things.
"WWE are doing their part and keeping it moving along, but there is still a long time until the pay-off.
"I'll be honest, I hadn't heard about Hogan v Sting. That will be interesting too, I mean Hogan had back surgery didn't he?
"They are both great guys. I'm a fan of Sting's and he can still go with the best of them. I know Hogan well and he still has it when he needs it.
"It will be a very interesting night at the office that one and I will most certainly be watching Bound For Glory to see how it works out.
"I get annoyed when people say that such and such should retire, or they shouldn't compete due to injury or age.
"I know how it works and many of these guys find it hard to stay out of the ring. Hogan, for example, was put on this world to be there.
"There may often be money involved when guys step back in the ring, but it's more about their need to be there than the financial rewards.
"The other thing is that there are so few people coming up through the ranks who can match the success of guys like Hulk, Flair, Sting or myself.
"Cena may be the only one who has reached that level — I've yet to see another hit that peak yet."
Born to Fight takes Austin away from his comfort zone of action films.
Telling the tale of a young man new to high school who experiences bullying, this is one film that Stone Cold feels will appeal to more than just his loyal fan base.
He said: "Born to Fight shows a softer side to me than the previous ones I guess. I'd call it the Karate Kid meets Rocky type of film.
"I play an ex-boxer turned school janitor. I see this kid being bullied and I train him to become a boxer — teaching him how to stand up for himself, while learning more about myself too.
"I enjoyed the role as it stretched me as an actor. There was more dialogue for me to tackle for a start — and I don't even cuss once in this one!"
Wrestlemania 28, Vince, Make it happen
