X-Pac 1, 2, 360 Recap w/ Road Dogg – Writing for Smackdown Live, Women’s MITB Details, Picking on The Rock, More!

June 12, 2017 • Admin

X-Pac opens today’s show congratulating <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/samoa-joe" title="Samoa Joe">Samoa Joe</a> on his big win at last Sunday’s Extreme Rules PPV. He says that he’s known Joe for a while, and he knew it was only a matter of time before Joe made his way to WWE. Even when Joe was doubting his own ability to get there, X-Pac knew his talent and abilities would eventually land him in WWE.He thought it was strange that WWE implemented a submission stipulation in the cruiserweight match between <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/austin-aries" title="Austin Aries">Austin Aries</a> and Neville. He says that submission matches often limit the talents’ ability to provide exciting false finishes and in the case of the cruiserweights, it hindered some of the high flying abilities of those two men. Nonetheless, he thought Aries and Neville pulled it off and had a good match.X-Pac comments on WWE’s recent signing of Thea Trinidad. Trinidad recently played the role of A.J. Lee in the upcoming <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/paige" title="Paige">Paige</a> biopic, and X-Pac thought she was marvellous in that role. He says he wasn’t surprised by this signing at all, and he thinks she’ll start in NXT before making her jump to the main roster.

Bryan Alvarez made the following remarks about WWE’s decision to change <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/tj-perkins" title="TJ Perkins">TJ Perkins</a>’ name to simple “TJP” on an installment of the Bryan and Vinny Show:“I was told this by someone in WWE and I believe it. It’s astonishing because I suggested this like a month ago when it happened and it wasn’t until yesterday that somebody told me that it’s true. TJP is no longer TJ Perkins and I largely joked that clearly, <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/vince-mcmahon" title="Vince McMahon">Vince McMahon</a> had a bad experience at a Perkins [restaurant]. Sure as s**t, Vince apparently hates Perkins. I was told that Perkins is not a national chain but apparently, he hates it and he thinks it sucks and he thinks that if people hear ‘TJ Perkins’ they’re <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/gonna/" title="gonna">gonna</a> think of the f**king restaurant so now he’s TJP. I’m just telling you what I was told. This guy [McMahon] is crazy enough that I believe that.”TJP caught wind of the story when a follower on Twitter mentioned it to him and indicated that it was his idea to change the name.

Reason Why Sister Abigail May Never Appear on WWE Television

June 10, 2017 • Admin

While appearing on the <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/pro-wrestling-torch" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">PWTorch Livecast</a>, former WWE writer Kevin Eck explain why fans will never see Sister Abigail appear in physical capacity on WWE programming.“From what I know about how <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/bray-wyatt" title="Bray Wyatt">Bray Wyatt</a> envisioned that character, I don’t think that character is ever <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/going/" title="going">going</a> to be seen, because the way Bray explained it, and I don’t think it’s ever come out on TV. He speaks in riddles, so maybe if you read in-between the lines.”He continued, “But Bray Wyatt was apparently a young man and Sister Abigail was an old black woman. I believe the swamps of Louisiana who had some supernatural powers and you know the history of voodoo and such in New Orleans. I believe she took him under her wing and kind of taught him the secrets of what she <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/knows/" title="knows">knows</a> of the dark arts and things like that.”Eck asserted that Sister Abigail is a witch-like character and the person who turned Bray Wyatt into what he is today.
