If they actually pull the trigger and give GFW champ Del Rio the TNA World title too next month, I'd say he's had a better run there than in WWE

Ironically even if Angle's in WWE for another 365 days he still won't have been in WWE (would be around 8.5 years total) for as long as he wound up being in TNA (almost 9.5 years)

I am more amazed he didn't die

Yep!

Didn't think I could be more ":stare: what the gently caress" at anything he did after he signed with TNA literally a month after Vince told him "I genuinely think you'll die if you don't go to rehab right now, go or you're fired"

but uh, him going a year with a tumor in his neck and refusing surgery on it until it pressed on a nerve definitely was one of the more stunning things I've ever seen

Chris Masters' injury apparently isn't severe enough the match has been pulled

Last thread was the first one in a long time that didn't get even 10 pages

I think stuff will definitely hit 10 pages next month when GFW World Champ Del Rio becomes TNA World Champ Del Rio too, that's definitely the type of thing that'll bring the ratings

quote:

Wilt Chamberlain famously claimed to have slept with 20,000 women throughout his life … but that ain’t nothing to Scott Steiner, because Big Poppa Pump claims to have slept with 15K in one year.

Steiner took part in a media conference call on Wednesday to promote Impact Wrestling‘s upcoming Slammiversary PPV and the 54-year-old covered a whole host of topics.

Editor-in-Chief Ryan Satin was on the call and chose to speak with Scott about one of the approved topics, “Freaks Around the World” — asking how many Steiner possesses.

That’s when the wrestler made a bold claim.

“Back in 1998-1999, I broke Wilt Chamberlain’s record with 15,000 women.” Adding, “I always thought that even though it’s not listed in the Book of World Records, I was a fan of Wilt Chamberlain and that was one world record I tried to break. In 1999, I broke it.”

For those doing the math, that would mean Steiner slept with about 41 women a day.

If TNA lasts three more years, there will be as many Slammiversarys as there are Starrcades.

Every GFW champ (except I think Sonjay Dutt on his first defense) held their belts for 2 years because there were never shows to defend it on because GFW was never real

Even the tag champ Bollywood Boys, who wound up going to WWE and vacating their belts for it
