Making my rounds reading things across the web,
some headlines and rumors caught my attention. Now which are 100%
truth, and which are completely untrue, we'll never know unless they
actually happen, and/or are admitted by legitimate sources. A lot are
hard not to believe, even if far from the truth. None the less they are
quite interesting.
This time around however, there seems to be some valid steam behind the rumors this year. Sting is currently not under contract nor working with TNA Wrestling, and according to the bigger wrestling sites, the deal with WWE is all but finalized.
The ink isn't even on the dotted line yet, but rumors of who, what, when and where are rabidly swirling around, "Will he face Taker at Wrestlmania XXX? Or will it be next year when WM31 is in Sting's hometown of Los Angeles? When is the Hall Of Fame induction? If not Wrestlemania, will it be the next night on Raw?" The list goes on. Regardless, with some actual validity behind this one, personally I cannot wait for Stinger to make a splash in WWE (pun intended).
Legit: Drained both mentally and physically from a grueling schedule, mixed with frustrations with "Creative". Needing a break is totally understandable.
Work: With similarities with Stone Cold in the past, this "take your ball and go home" moment is very familiar with what happened with Austin back in the day, where he was just totally burnt out. Absence can also make the heart grow fonder as they say, Punk is already "over", imagine the size of the crowd pop he would get upon a return?
Everyone says we likely haven't seen the last of CM Punk in a WWE ring, but who knows, maybe we have.
If Double J and Toby really are bringing us a new promotion, it will be interesting to see for many reasons. Will it be new? Will it just be TNA 2.0? Successful? Can it compete with the WWE? Will they even try too? AJ Styles needs a new home, unless WWE gets smart and gives him a chance. Plus, there's always the question of how long until Jarrett puts the main belt on himself. Half joking on that one. I did enjoy some of his runs as Champ with WCW and TNA.
Stay Nerdy!
STING & WWE
Now
every year really since Vince McMahon won the Monday Night War, people
have been speculating that Sting was going to sign on with the WWE.
Especially at this time of year with the "Road To Wrestlemania" and the
Hall Of Fame inductions, and The Undertaker's "Streak".This time around however, there seems to be some valid steam behind the rumors this year. Sting is currently not under contract nor working with TNA Wrestling, and according to the bigger wrestling sites, the deal with WWE is all but finalized.
The ink isn't even on the dotted line yet, but rumors of who, what, when and where are rabidly swirling around, "Will he face Taker at Wrestlmania XXX?

CM PUNK QUITS WWE
This
is even more interesting than the Sting situation. While many say they
think that this is true, nobody can give 100% that this isn't some kind
of "work". When everything is "analyzed" by at least us "outsiders",
everything points to both a legit walk out and a scripted event.Legit: Drained both mentally and physically from a grueling schedule, mixed with frustrations with "Creative". Needing a break is totally understandable.

NEW WRESTLING PROMOTION
Another
rumor making its rounds is that former co-founder of TNA Wrestling,
Jeff Jarrett left his "office" job with the company to possibly form a
brand new wrestling promotion with country music star, Toby Keith.
Jarrett and Keith were apparently close to buying the sinking ship that
appears to be TNA, from the Carter's. Supposedly the deal went south
when Bob Carter's only stipulation was the Dixie stay on in the same
spot (title as well as tv spots), with the same amount of stroke she had
when her father owned the company. If that is truly the case, we all
should be thankful Jarrett and Keith walked away from what would clearly
be a bad business venture.If Double J and Toby really are bringing us a new promotion, it will be interesting to see for many reasons. Will it be new? Will it just be TNA 2.0? Successful? Can it compete with the WWE? Will they even try too? AJ Styles needs a new home, unless WWE gets smart and gives him a chance.

WHO'S #22?
I've
come across rumors stating that WWE was hoping for Brock Lesner Vs
Undertaker, but it isn't a lock. John Cena was also another high on the
rumor list to be facing the Deadman, but rumors all seem to point to
Cena Vs Bray Wyatt at the big show. I haven't come across anything
stating so, but remember the last time we saw Undertaker. The red hot
Shield took over his yard. Well, fast forward to present day, and we
have what looks like a possible if not likely split amongst the talented
trio. Why not have that happen at or during the aftermath of becoming
victims number 22? With Reigns being over, perhaps Ambrose or Rollins
try to steal the glory or turn on Reigns causing the loss, I would go
with Rollins with the turn, being played out as the voice of reason at
the moment and Ambrose is too obvious....wait...why am I even thinking
about this group breaking up? Likely will happen though, the split. Who
knows, maybe Punk will come back if given the option to do the honors a
second year in a row, if he returns.Stay Nerdy!
