Very old school match between the two, with Sabin as champion you have to really wonder who will face him at BFG if he makes it there.

I still think AJ Styles wins the BFG Series. Don't see Sabin as champion until BFG. Think he drops it back to Bully at the next PPV. Styles vs Bully at BFG.

Gene Snitzsky is part of security detail for Alex Rodriguez

http://www.nj.com/ya...ssignment.html.

READING, Pa. -- The side door opened at 5:48 p.m., and Alex Rodriguez jogged across concrete toward a Double-A diamond. A moment after a few fans called his name, a cascade of jeers rumbled from the fans gathered at FirstEnergy Stadium. Rodriguez out-ran the catcalls onto the field.

Soon after, a five-man security detail assembled along the third-base line, eyes focused on the highest-paid player in baseball. They were an athletic director, a principal, a teacher, an owner of Harley-Davidson dealerships and a professional wrestler -- a beefy, inked-up group of men tasked with one objective.

"Our detail is strictly A-Rod," said Gene Snitsky, who worked for World Wrestling Entertainment from 2004 to 2008. "Wherever he goes, we go."

Snitsky cuts a distinctive figure. He stands 6-8 A-Rod's security detail Former WWE wrestler Gene Snitsky (left) and Corey Jones describe their job of escorting Alex Rodriguez during his rehab stint with the Trenton Thunder on Monday night in Reading. with a frame that carried 300 pounds in the ring. An auburn goatee covered his chin; dark shades shielded his eyes. In the WWE he was a

heel, a bad guy who once pretended to punt a child into the crowd during a television segment.

He understands how to generate "heat," the wrestling parlance for disdain from fans. He was asked to rate the reception for Rodriguez, the Yankees' erstwhile third baseman and one of baseball's most controversial figures, before he went 0-fo-3 with an RBI and seven innings in the field as he rehabbed from hip surgery at the home of Philadelphia's Double-A affiliate.

"On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd say maybe a 7.5," Snitsky said after Rodriguez flied out in his first at-bat Tuesday night. "It's not quite as bad as I expected, to be honest with you. I expected it to be a lot worse."

Stone Cold Steve Austin at WM 30?

Austin representing Vince doesn't make sense in the fact that Vince is a heel. Austin/Vince obviously have a long history. There was a report recently which stated The Rock could get involved in the HHH/Vince Power Struggle. Instead of HHH wrestling. They could have Rock represent HHH. Just a thought. Punk vs. Austin would be preferred.

WWE is still hoping that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will get medical clearance for a match at WrestleMania 30. If he is cleared and interested, an idea has already been pitched. The idea is that "Stone Cold" would face Triple H at the pay-per-view for control of the WWE. Austin would represent Vince McMahon during the match. This has only been talked about right now and absolutely nothing has been confirmed. Of course, plans can easily change as it's very well known that Austin wants to face CM Punk in his return match. CM Punk wants the same thing so there would be a lot of negotiating beforehand.

No Undertaker at SummerSlam. Too bad. Brothers of Destructions vs Wyatts would have been interesting.

I can see there being stipulation if Kane loses to Bray, he must join Wyatts.

We can now confirm that The Undertaker will not appear at SummerSlam this year due to a shoulder injury. As of now, it seems like his usual pre-WrestleMania return is likely. With 'Taker officially out of SummerSlam, Kane is expected to face Bray Wyatt. It should also be noted that 'Taker's shoulder issues are said to be "pretty bad" at this point in his career.

The next PPV is Bound For Glory. Unless you're talking about Ray's rematch clause. I can't see Sabin dropping it, I think TNA will now try to cover up and get rid of the Aces and Eights as quickly as possible.

Bully could demand his rematch next week on Impact. I could see Hogan refusing to give Bully his rematch unless he finally gives Brooke a divorce. I wonder if they would do a Triple Threat at BFG. Bully/Sabin/BFG Series Winner. Can't see TNA breaking up Aces and Eights just after MEM has been assembled. It would make some sense given they've lost a few members, who were released. I'm still wondering about Angle and the offer he couldn't refuse. Still wonder if Angle turns on MEM and joins Aces as part of that deal. Perhaps insurance policy to help Bully regain the title.

See this is what I don't get tbh. I thought AJ vs Bully was surefire, this certainly adds a lot of unpredictability to the situation. Especially since DOC and D'Lo are gone now and Devon's becoming a road agent, I think they want to wrap this angle up. I could see them still going to AJ vs Bully and putting Sabin in the MEM that takes out Aces and Eights too though.

Do TNA fanboys know that they could just go on the net, read the dirt sheet sites, and look up the results?

Saw this coming a few hours ago, before it happened.

There's no surprise factor in TNA.

I find it funny to hear a WWE fan criticize TNA for being predictable. What a crock. :lol:

After how they acted on Impact, are Gail Kim and Austin Aries now faces?

TNA flip flops so much on faces and heels.

Austin Aries hasn't really been a heel for quite awhile, everyone likes him, and he hasn't really been doing anything heelish.

Gail Kim is probably turning now for this feud with Mickie.

and that Mickie/Gail segment was good, Mickie is the best female wrestler in either company right now IMO.

Anyways I enjoyed the show.

the opening segment was really good until Brooke came out, I just want them to end it, phase it out already. Its just terrible. Other than that Bully was great on the mic like always.

I liked Angles little segment afterwards, Angle has still got it. Just has a believability factor to him that makes his promos good.

The Aries/Roode match was a great opening match, really enjoyed it. And Roode was great afterward when he snapped.

The first 2 X Division matchups were great IMO, the 3rd was lacking, there was still some really good spots but the wrestlers involved just didn't do it for me, it wasn't the worst thing I have ever seen, cause there were good spots, but it was the low of the show for sure.

Liked the Mickie/Gail thing as I said. When you compare both womens champions, Mickie to AJ, AJ just pails in comparison IMO to Mickie (no offense Twilight)

The Aces & Eights/MEM stuff was pretty good, the hackjack was smart but it was a weird transition to Angle showing up so soon after being captured, they should have captured them sooner & maybe have added something else to it, with Angle and the other person at the other spot they were talking about, but you understood the point, Angle beat him up, took the truck and obviously freed the rest of the group. And knowing Angle, its believable that he would/could do that.

That brings us to the mainevent.

I wasn't excited for this going in, cause I just wasn't buying into Sabin, didn't believe he could beat Bully (didn't think he would going into the show) but I thought they did a good job throughout the show of building this match up.

It was slow build throughout the match, Bully again showing why he is the best heel in the business, just great heel work in there.

It wasn't a great match in terms of the moves that were done, but they told a great story. Thats what made it good, and Sabin winning with the shot to the head was sweet justice for all the times Bully did the same.

I didn't agree with Sabin winning at first, but as the show went along I became more and more fine with it, and at the end I was happy, I popped, good moment. Though I think Bully should have kept it to drop it to Styles or Magnus at BFG (And who knows maybe he will get it back before then, who knows what will happen) I do enjoy that TNA is changing it up a bit, thats always nice.

Overall I thought it was a good show, another good one from TNA, and next week we get an ultimate X match which should be great. And Styles/Hardy.

It was also nice to get JB on commentary, I'll give the show an 8/10.
