[URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/5wgdp1/meltzer_on_wor_hardys_to_wwe_is_possible_actually/"]Meltzer says it's likely that the Hardy's are heading to WWE.[/URL]
He also mentions it's unlikely WWE would do the broken gimmick though, which I guess is for the best.

How was rest of the show? The card for both shows don't look that interesting to me so I just kinda ignored it.

The undercard tags were pretty standard, the Goto match was what it was considering how green Punisher Martinez is, the ROH Title match was OK and as Streecer pointed out Adam Cole's shtick was over in Japan.

when they said they were taking IMPACT! back to it's roots, they really meant it, [sp]shoot promos about how they suck and now they're totes better and how WWE is keeping them down, and a fucking dusty finish in the main event to give del rio the belt (but only maybe because it's not official.[/sp]

The entire storyline about Brock and Goldberg is that Brock can't beat Goldberg like he usually does, and that Goldberg has Lesnar in a tough spot, so what do they do? They have him squash your top champion too, so now he's better than [B]everybody[/B] on the roster.
They fucking fed Braun to Roman for no reason. Roman is a three-time world champion, can we please move past him having feuds with monsters please. He does not need this rub, and now they've completely dismantled the months and months of work they've put into building Braun, now he's just another guy.
That entire mid-section with Cesaro, Big Show, Jinder and Rusev was fucking garbage. Why did they put this onto the show? Furthermore why is Big Show beating Rusev? As a smelly Rusev mark I'm very mad about his position right now.
Nia is god awful, but making her lose here isn't doing her any favours. Looks like Sasha fucked the finish too so she lost clean. Also they've completely ruined the PPV streak angle they had going on with Charlotte, it was stupid, but it's also stupid to blow it off here.
Enzo and Cass can fuck off.
Sami vs Joe was too damn short, cut that Jinder/Rusev garbage and give them more time.
Cruiserweight matches were good, so at least there's that.
Fastlane 2017 is probably one of the worst PPV's ever, go watch NJPW 45th Anniversary to cleanse your mind
I feel bad for KO and any other top tier talent that are being squashed just to make part timers look good.
I want to see less and less of Golberg and Lesnar.

It was bad, yes, but it was nowhere near one of the worst ever. Think of December to Dismember 2006, Victory Road 2009. At least Fastlane had some redeeming matches.
Despite the usual road to mania cynicism, I'm still plenty excited for Mania - (although I have to be, spent $5k AUD on tickets..) Rollins (or Balor) v Triple H, Owens v Jericho, Orton v Wyatt. I think it'll be a Wrestlemania 31 situation where the card doesn't look to be incredible and the buildup is awful, but the show will end up being a surprise. Perhaps not to the same level, but I think it'll certainly be better than 32, 29, 27, 26, 25, etc.

At least we have The New Japan cup to look forward to.

The video is hyping up the new changes but it's just highlights how many missed opportunities TNA has had over those 15 years, from the weekly PPV's in the fairgrounds to when they went on the road and toured the UK they managed to have those great moments but never strung them together enough to capitalise on them. The glaring one for me is the shot of Raven with the NWA World Title, all summer I ordered the PPV's and spent hours finding the shows (this was back in the pre-megaupload days) and whilst the chase for the belt was great for a while it dragged on and by the time Raven got the belt (years after the chase began) the momentum was almost gone completely.
Hopefully this relaunch thing can get things right but that video gave me flashbacks to the years of Jarrett domination with fuck finishes galore and moronic booking happening weekly. I guess we find out tonight but if we see a heel Jarrett as an authority figure then we know how this story will pan out.
I wish they would fire Josh Matthews already. Or at least take him off the announcers table.

A little birdie told me that he thinks that might happen soon..
