They're both lucky to still have jobs. Might not for very long. 

Connor isn't a very good wrestler. Rose is in a bad place career wise. Yeah, not much of a stretch where I can see both of them gone.

Viktor's like "Oh great thanks Konnor." Not sure we see Viktor again until Konnor comes back.  Maybe some squash matches on Main Event or Superstars.

I wonder if Social Outcast will bring in a new member to replace Rose.  That's a big hole in WWE's hottest stable.

Speaking of suspensions, Titus is supposed to be back.  I wonder how he will be treated upon his return.

Hottest stable? I don't know about that.

You can say what you want about Social Outcasts and In my opinion, they are a joke, they are the new J.O.B. Squad really but... at the same time, they are doing their jobs out there. Are they over? Debatable but NO... are they awful? not really, Bo Dallas has shown tons of character. Slater, can't stand him but... he's got tons of charisma for sure... tons, oozes it, will probably never be more than a Jobber but... he has some skills there for sure.  Do i as a fan take them seriously? Nope, am i supposed to take them seriously? nope, they are a joke and  that's what they are being portrayed as, a joke group really, the new job squad like i said... Can say what you want but... they are all playing their roles and doing it well, will they win a ton of matches? Nope, will they put a ton of guys over? for sure and you need guys like that... you need guys to put over new talent and these guys are doing that. Maybe Tyler Breeze joins the Social Outcasts or maybe Viktor does, who knows. Who cares really, but... they are a group that basically knows their role and doesn't seem to really ***** to much about it.

Its most;y how they're booked.  Labelled as jobbers so really hard to ever be more than that.  But they get a bit of TV time so they can work house shows where they are more effective.

Breeze is really good.

Regarding Slater, he was Bret Hart's hand picked guy to work with when he came back.  He was so concerned about getting hurt, that Slater was the only guy he wanted to mix it up with with.  Slater also had all those matches with the old legends.  So he's definitely trusted.  

I'm waiting for the #1 job squad match between the social outcast vs Golddust/R-truth/Ryder/Fandango would be an easy gimmick with everyone taking themselves seriously thinking they are better then the other.  probably get a few "no contest" results, like double count outs, wrestlers failing at rising to the refs count..ect just pure ineptness and it would probably make for an entertaining couple matches then get squashed tho... maybe guest spots for the original job squad and other crap like the spirit squad.  maybe we see something closer to survivor series

The Social Outcasts, what can you say? Any group that has Bo Dallas in it will never be over. I can take Slater & even Curt Axel but man, Bo Dallas? What a joke. Adam Rose is gone... That's the problem with the WWE. They just make up these groups with no storylines, rhyme or reason... It's no wonder that fans act the way they do as it's all bullshit.

Don't forget Bo Dallas was one of the longest reigning NXT champions ever. Lol

From his whiny voice to his outdated Tim Tebow routine. One of the longest reigning? Well, obviously NXT was pretty shitty when he was champ.

I'm not sure if he had the same gimmick but I bo-Lieve he did.

TUP, do you not agree that his character is lame & worn out? Plus the dude is porking out. The way he's going he'll be even fatter than his brother.

I do agree. I am not a fan. 

Theres always a place for the over the top lame guys. Bob backlund is a name that comes to mind

Well Bob Backlund had a pedigree as a long time World Champion though.  He was a lousy worker though.

But I agree, there is a place for acts like the Social Outcasts.  Again, it might not make for compelling TV, but its serving a purpose on the house shows.  And they are decent enough workers, they are basically shining up other guys on their way up.  Slater seems to have a niche.  The 3 Man Band was the same thing.

So the new hot rumor in TNA land is that the investors/impending buyers are the Harris Twins.  They run a production company that was (or is, I cant recall) the production company for TNA.  They are also some variant of white supremacists/Nazi's.  Which should go over really well with the head of their network POP who is, I believe Jewish.

Sounds like a major development at tonight's RAW:

Spoiler

Aj Styles turns heel, re-united with Bullet Club and beats down Roman

Also, supposedly they are to kick off a

Spoiler

Hunter/Steph vs Shane feud

 

Couple of things.  I was only half right on the RAW spoiler.  Turns out that

Spoiler

AJ and the Bullet Club did reunite but AJ wasnt in on the attack on Roman.  Or at least its not clear yet.  Lets predict that at the PPV, Bullet Club attacks again, AJ saves Roman and gets beat up too.  Maybe a Balor/Bullet Club vs AJ/Roman type of deal.

In regards to TNA, it had previously been reported (and I mentioned it here) that a potential investor had loaned them money to be able to make the last set up TV tapings.  Well it turns out there was a condition attached to that loan which required TNA to make a payment on said loan either today or tomorrow and if the payment wasnt made, majority interest of TNA would default to the Investors who are a company that the Harris Bros are involved with.

Dixie's plan was to take the loan while searching for another investor that would let he keep 51% interests, pay back the Harris' and keep running TNA.  if Dixie cant make the payment, the Harris' will end up in control of TNA, probably tomorrow.  But lets say, for fun, it all comes to a head on Wednesday.  The neo-Nazi Harris could actually gain control of TNA due to a defaulted loan payment on Hitler's birthday.  Yowza. 

You cant make up craziness like that.

Ill speculate that if the Harris' gain control that you could see Jeff Jarrett back in (he originally hired the Harris in TNA years ago) and possibly Russo, although last I heard Jarrett and Russo were not buddies anymore.  So realistically you could get a really dumbed down version of the WWE/WCW iNvasion with Jarrett in the Shane McMahon role and Global Force Wrestling invading TNA...except the invaders would win and TNA would be branded over as GFW (assuming the new owners haveat least half a brain between the two of the, which is debatable since they are neo-nazi's, and realise TNA as a brand is worthless and poisoned.

if that spoiler is correct, that bray wyatt injury totally screwed up what they were trying to do teaming Bray and Roman together just before it happened
