Marvel Studios really wants HHH to play Thor in their upcoming Thor movie. personally i think he would be great in that role is he is almost a dead ringer for the character. Not a bad choice at all to play Thor, I would probably go see the film if HHH was in it. And he isn't that bad of an actor either Lance Storm stated on his blog that he has now officially retired. he stated he may wrestle a few more times but for the most part is done with the business. his last match was last Saturday night against Robert Roode for Border City Wrestling in Canada. he said he was happy with it as his last match, but would really love to have a final match with Chris Jericho. I would pay money to see Jericho vs Storm one last time

Apparently, there's more to the Triple H as Thor thing than just Marvel wanting him:
The director, Matthew Vaughn, however, is against the idea and has his hopes on Kevin McKidd. McKidd is from the HBO series “Rome.”
Apparently Vaughn said he had two words for reasons why triple H would be bad: "Chris" and "Benoit".
Pardon my french, but that is just bullcrap right there. That doesn't even have anything to do with this. That's even more bullcrap than what Jimmy Kimmel said at the Flavor Flav roast.

BROCK LESNAR IN NEGOTIATIONS TO SIGN WITH TNA - As Tazz used to say, "Well, here comes the pain!" Several sources are reporting that Brock Lesnar is in negotiations with TNA Wrestling to bring in the former WWE heavyweight champion to the company sometime in the next couple of months. According to Dave Meltzer of the Observer, Lesnar is already talking with TNA President Dixie Carter and Lesnar's friend and current TNA champion of everything Kurt Angle is pushing hard to have Brock joining the ranks. The two last wrestled together at the end of June where Lesnar put up his IWGP title on the line in a match promoted by the Inoki Genome Federation. Angle won the match after Lesnar tapped to the Ankle Lock. Both of them headlined WrestleMania 19 in 2003 in a match which was sort of made famous thanks to Lesnar's badly botched shooting star press in the closing moments.

Didn't he sign a no compete clause with WWE which lasts a few more years?

TNA has released Jerry Lynn, Brother Runt, Matt Bentley, Basham, and Damaja.
also, stop calling the belt the IWGP title. it's an old New Japan belt yes, but that doesn't make it the IWGP championship. it's the IGF Title. the last time Brock held the IWGP title was almost 3 years ago and he left the company and stole the belt. the current IWGP Champion is Yuji Nagata (i really shouldn't have to keep writing this).
don't expect much from Lesnar, even if he signs with TNA. he's not the same in the ring, only wrestles when he wants (which is not that often), and is more focused on MMa right now. he may do an appearance and a match or 2 for TNA, but i really doubt we'll see anything long term.

No! TNA is supposed to be a place where released WWE superstars come, now they're releasing people! Oh really? Bummer.

so now we know after No Surrender, Angle will only have the TNA World Title (and possible the IGF title if he beats Josh Barnett the night before). Lethal will get back the x-division belt (probaly due to interference from Samoa Joe). he'll lose the tag belts to Team Pacman for sure (he'll either have no partner or it'll be Cena's cousin teaming with him, and probaly interference from Joe). and Abyss won't win because Ricky Banderas will interfere to cost him the match as Banderas is signed as Judas Mesias and will be feuding with Abyss. hopefully the rest of the card will be better and less predictable.

As for Pacman, they're probably just giving more hype for Pacman and the media.

Does anybody know anything about him? and why the hell is "Team Pacman" getting a title shot?!?!?! the guy is Tracktion, he's John Cena's cousin in real life. he did the lyric's for Angle's music. he's apparently a rapper of little fame but knows Angle in real life. i believe his appearances are close to over, but he may wrestle at No Surrender with Angle. also Team Pacman is getting a title shot so Pacman can have a title and it can gain media attention. also they want Killings to get a push as he has improved his ring work even more while wrestling in Mexico (if you have Galavision watch AAA on saturdays, he's currently appearing, you'll see he has gotten even better).

What can I say? I don't agree with giving a tag team, 1/2 of which has never wrestled, a title match on a PPV. If they wanna give Killings a push, that's totally the wrong way to go about it, IMO. A Killings/Pacman feud would have been better

Pacman won't be bad in the ring. he's goingto wrestle full-time so he's being trained by Scott D'Amore (one of the best trainers in the business) and he is quite agile and quick on his feet. Monty Brown (Marcus Cor Von) was a lineman and made the transition quite well. also Brown started wrestling after he retired. Pacman is wrestling during the prime of his football career. he's in great shape and i think he is going to do well, and keep getting better the more he wrestles.

The best match of the night was Christopher Daniels vs Black Machismo, that was excellent. And I agree with you about Abyss, he should be a total heel, used like Kane or Mankind back in the day when they were pure evil guys. And is it just me or does it look like Abyss has put on a few pounds

I was really bored with last nights Saturday Nights Main Event. I think I couldn't get into it with all the nonsense with Mr. McMahon and the dumb Whose My Child storyline............ YaWn!!!
I Loved seeing EVANDER THE REAL DEAL HOLYFIELD knock MVP out, that was awesome, and the entire angle was really well done.
I am digging The Boogeyman's new face paint.
It makes me really miss guys like HHH & HBK, can't wait for Summerslam because the king of kings returns!!!

What is everyones feeling on the (c)John Cena vs Randy Orton match up at Summerslam? Who do you want to win?
Me Personally I am in the middle on this one. I would love to see Cena hold onto that title for over a year, because it is something that hasn't been done in a very long time, and part of me wants that, but the other part of me is saying it is time for change and Randy Orton isn't a bad change of scenery for the Title Picture, although I think he really shouldn't be in this position right now because he is such a trouble maker behind the scenes, it feels as though he wasn't even punished but rewarded for his behavior a few months back.
Any one have predictions?
Here are mine:
Randy Orton beats John Cena for the Title Batista will win the title from The Great Khali John Morrison will hold onto his ECW title over CM Punk HHH beats King Booker Rey beats Chavo
Are there any other matches announced? Matt Hardy vs MVP Boogeyman vs Big Daddy V? Finley vs Kane in some gimmick Match? Jamie Knoble vs Hornswaggle for the Title? Some sort of women's match

I agree with both points. Personally, I'm sick of seeing Cena with the title! I just don't like him period! He's another cartoon character like Austin and Rock became, with a few more moves. I also agree about Orton. There really isn't anybody else on Raw that I would like to have the title. Maybe Kennedy, but he supposedly is McMahon's son, so he'll be in that storyline for a while, and he just came back from an injury. It's too soon for him, IMO. Let's see: HHH...Not again! King Booker: No Umaga: No Michaels: Hurt I can't think of anyone else at all

Here are my picks for the matches so far:
Cena over Orton
I'm in the middle on Batista/Khali.
Chavo over Rey (just got a hunch. We can't have 2 people returning and have them both win can we?)
Morrison over Punk.
HHH over Booker

whoever wins the title is a holdover until Triple H. Triple H will be winning the title again soon. most likely at Survivor Series. they may give it to Orton, as Orton and Triple H will feud and that's how HHH will get the title, or they'll have Orton lose and feud with HHH for a few ppvs before Triple H wrestles Cena for the title.
also, Ashley Massaro will be on the new season of Survivor (yes they still make that show, i couldn't believe it myself).

And he will get squashed by HHH on Sunday, and hopefully that will be the end of King Booka, and the return of Booker T and the Spinaroonie..... Just plain old Booker T would be a great pick for the world title
