I'd rather have people that actually busted their asses night in and out on the road in the ring, than just being a personality- even if a deserving and talented one- get "acknowledged first

Not that it really matters much..when Michelle McCool and the Bellas have already been inducted

I feel like you aren't considering/recognizing all the behind the scenes work, and are just focusing on her as an on-air talent. Even so, she was a MASSIVE character from late 1999 through 2001. I won't go drive it into the ground, I just strongly disagree with you about it. I thought Miss Elizabeth was in, if she's not I'd agree she definitely needs to be in (and I'd be curious why she isn't).

I mean I'm not saying she doesn't deserve it or anything..just imo, I'd prefer if the actual "talent" putting their bodies on the line every night get recognized 1st

Victoria wrestled for over 20 years, is a 6x TNA championship and 2x WWE champ and shes already in the women's wrestling HOF..everyone always brings her up as a potential "this is the year" inductee..

Gail Kim..18 year career plus behind the scenes contributions..7x TNA championship, 1 time WWE champ, Canadian women's wrestling HOF, TNA HOF...widely regarded by her "peers" as one of, if not the best female wrestler ever

As from what I can tell...the whole Luger/drug death is what has clouded Elizabeth's induction...much like Chynas history

agreed, she was in so many storylines with both female and male wrestlers, she got male finishers put on including spears and pedigrees, she's gone through tables

And again, I'm sure her roles in creative/CEO etc are being honored as well. I think not everyone remembers just how big of a role she played in the attitude era. When she married Triple H and turned heel she was such a massive star.

ESPN graded their partner a "C"

Triple H this year, Stephanie next year, Vince in '27, Shane in '28.

Rumor on X that Cody and Drew pitched idea were Randy would have come down and by accident cost Cody the title.

I wouldn't be surprised if they have decided to save this idea for a later PPV. Survivor Series maybe?

[Mandy1320]

Another rumor that Cena was supposed to beat Lesnar and then it was changed the morning of.

[Jaypers]

Well at least TNA got it right.

And they would all be extremely deserving!

An out-of-character post by AJ Lee, praising Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch (and a few others including Punk):

The screaming of Asuka to Kairi Sane all the time now makes me laugh. Quite funny to me.

Looks like Lesnar was indeed a one off. Cena asked on his social media if everyone would like to see him face Styles next. AJ agreed, and it's now official for Crown Jewel.

[Jaypers]

Lesnar has just been advertised for next year's WM. Wonder if that means that's the next time we see him wrestle.

I hate this company. Saudi Arabia gets the last Cena vs Punk match. The last Cena vs Styles match. If The Rock ever wrestles again probably Rock vs Cody at Mania 43. 3 of the only matches I would have paid TKO's ridiculous ticket prices and gone anywhere in the US or Canada to see live.

Everything TKO does is at the expense of the overall product and the fans. As long as they can make every last penny who cares if it makes for a worse product and shows? Why would we have Cena's last match in his hometown when we can get what is essentially pennies more to have it somewhere else? You paid $30 to watch these shows on the ESPN app. $30 and you have to watch more ads than ever.

I was at WrestlePalooza. I've never seen as many people in suits at a wrestling show in my life. It was a PPV/PLE. There was 8 minutes of wrestling the first 51 minutes of the show. The cheapest ticket in the building was around what I paid to sit in the middle section of the stands 5 rows up 2 years ago for Fast Lane. That was in the same building. It was $200 or so. That's basically as good of a seat as you can have. I was in the same area 8 rows up and my seat was around $725 last weekend.

I hope TKO just gets it over with quick before the end of the year and either sells WWE to the Saudis or TKO the company is sold to the Saudis. At least if TKO is going to do everything they can to ruin wrestling make me rich from it.

Why is everyone on social media crying for Edge to come back to wrestle Cena? Edge is beyond washed and I think we can find someone better then Edge to have Cena last match.

Rather see a young and up and coming guy like Bron or Dom get the last match. Cena wins but the young guy gets to made to look real good. That would be better then Edge broken down body trying to hug Cena with his spear.

The majority have just wanted Cena to 'play the hits', that's why they are happy about the Styles match. I wouldn't have a strong opinion, but I am also an Edge fan.

TKO offered Vince a huge pile of money and he decided to sell out. TKO paid a huge price off it and to make that money back they are going to do what they need to do. They have already said Vince left money on the table by making it family affordable. They are going for the profit. You look at many sports now taking a family of 4 or 5 is not affordable. Heck even going to Disney World for a week is not affordable to many families. We are in a time were corporations are seeking record profits and that the average family is going to be closed out of events 10-20 years ago they could have easily afforded to go to. It's a sad event that a lot of kids will not be able to go to events that their parents and grandparents got to go to all the time.

Styles though can really go and give you a very high quality match. I have no problem with that because of the kind of match we can get between Styles and Cena.
