Nothing on The Warrior?!? Damn you all!   

Fear not, tonight's episode is dedicated to the man from Parts Unknown!

The Warrior could not be contained in a segment of a podcast and therefore demanded his own one.

Excellent!

After positive feedback you'll be glad to know there will be MORE The Rock-Busters next week!   

Tonight, Chris is joined by Gavin, Paul and Richard to talk about The Ultimate Warrior's upcoming entry to the WWE Hall of Fame.

His career, legacy and hall of fame credentials are all discussed.

TNA

I hope Angle doesn`t become world champ again, although I fear it could happen. With all this talk by Dixie and the TNA hype machine about 2014 being a new era in TNA, I really hope they continue going forward with new talent in the main event.

I`d like to see Gunner given a chance. Storm is a good character and his rivalry with Roode has been one of the best feuds in the last few years, a feud that has made both characters in many ways imo. Gunner is on the cusp of becoming a serious singles competitor. I hope TNA give him a push and this feud with Storm gives him a rub.

The fact that TNA have signed the American Wolves seems to prove they want to rebuild the tag team division and push new talent in 2014. There are good signs in 2014 for TNA as long as they can find a new home for the impact! zone after Lockdown.

AJ coming back to TNA would make a good angle to get justice against Magnus and Dixie but they have dropped the ball with the contract situation and his return will need to be well written, something I am less confident about considering they seem to have already forgotten about the winning briefcases except for Gunner and Storm. But what about Zema Ion`s X-Division shot? What about ECIII`s tag title shot?

Is this mystery new investor just kayfabe or do TNA really have a new investor? I hope it is genuine, because I`d like to see TNA actually grow in 2014.

Ultimate Warrior`s Hall of Fame Induction

As far as his iconic status in wrestling, warrior seems like a dead cert for hall of fame, but his actual talent I agree is dubious. Warrior seems like such a cartoonish character compared to the likes of Brock Lesner nowadays. I think his brief WCW return proved he couldn`t sustain a career in wrestling. He was a screw up.

Room 619

I think negativity is not just an issue in wrestling, I think with the social media phenomenon the entire entertainment industry comes under fire. Just look at fan reactions to some of the casting decisions in films! I don`t think that`s going to change. Greater accessibility to the media and greater digital coverage is producing stronger fanaticism.

My pet hate would be authority figures. Just seems like its been done to death and now the wrestling industry is flogging a dead horse. I suspect Dixie has been quite shrewd in making herself an onscreen heel character kayfabe mirroring the internal changes TNA are making structurally to the company. She is drawing heat from the fans as kayfabe dictator while having to make what are probably very painful and difficult decisions for the future of the company in real life. I just hope once its over and TNA have come through this storm that she writes off her heel character onscreen and lets the wrestlers go back to feuding with each other.

I have a feeling that the investor will turn out to be Jeff Jarrett.

All the rumours of a new company and booking the impact zone under their noses is going to be a worked shoot.

I really hope not though!!
