She will be a good presence for the TNA Knockouts, in my opinion. She is set to debut tonight in TNA's iMPACT taping. So that would mean we will be able to see her in action this Thursday.
Sticking with TNA...
Big TNA event
On TNA's official website they have a countdown clock that ends at the same time as next week's iMPACT supposedly making you think something big will happen then.
No one has a clue about what it is, but TNA has been pretty good about keeping secrets lately. Especially with their TNA mobile clues.
Raven may be something they are trying to sell as something big, possibly Taz. Word is that Taz (which is able to be his name because it is not the WWE's Tazz) is the influence on Samoa Joe's new character.
He may be able to debut then since there is supposedly something stopping him from being able to appear on TV right away.
One would think it was a no compete clause, but Taz was not released he just didn't renew his contract when it was up.
So, that would mean the WWE has nothing on him and he can debut right away. But TNA has said that the WWE has been saying he can't, so there must be something up.
It may just be something rumored so they can get more attention to the Taz debut, but the countdown clock could be counting down to the debut of Taz. But no one knows for sure just yet other than TNA of course.
The offical message on TNA's site is “TNA will deliver a powerful shot in.”
WWE on Hulu
WWE has finally joined the rest of the entertainment business and joined up with the video on demand network Hulu.com. They will be letting SmackDown and ECW shows go up on the site, but not RAW for some reason or another.
The problem is that Hulu is only legally accessible for the US, so everyone else will have to go to Youtube the day after or find another stream or something. I would try to watch it on TV if that is possible too.
If you can't watch it right when it comes on, just record it. They count as ratings, so the WWE will have no problem with you doing so.
Triple H on Ric Flair wanting to wrestle again
During a recent appearance on the "Busted Open" show on Sirius XM radio, WWE superstar and 13 time World Champion Triple H told Dave LaGreca that he has mixed feelings regarding Ric Flair's desire to return to the ring after his retirement at WrestleMania 24.
Triple H added, "There's a part of me that's bittersweet. As much as I enjoy Ric on the show and I miss seeing Ric Flair on the show, I feel that he was given the ultimate sendoff in the business.
"There have been so many guys in the past...they retire and unretire then they retire and they unretire. It's almost a joke when they un-retire. He really wanted to be the guy who said, meant it, and did it.
"I don't know if he misses the business or he needs the money. I'm not sure what it is, but if he's thinking about coming back there has to be a pretty good reason because he was pretty adamant about that never happening."
You can't blame Triple H for saying this. He knows that Flair does not have the ability to wrestle as he could years back. He is too old to still wrestle at a high level. I will say what Triple H is afraid to say.
He doesn't want you back in the ring Flair, he feels you are disrespecting the WWE by coming back to wrestle. Now, Triple H would have no problem seeing him as a manager or GM.
He does not care if he has a role with the WWE, he just does not want to see him in the ring again. It is not that he does not respect Flair and what he has done for the WWE and wrestling period.
Triple H and Flair are documented friends, they have a good relationship. But, Triple H knows as much as he loves Flair, he does not want to see him in the ring again.
And who can blame him?
