“You know, I hear that all the time, and J.R., you know as well as I do, it’s not in my hands. If you ask me, I would say absolutely, but it’s the powers that be. I think that there’s enough fans who would love to see it. They’ve been saying it from day one. And you know what the funny thing about it is? I’ve never met Brock in person. Never crossed paths with Brock anywhere. So we don’t even know each other at all, whatsoever.

And I’ve always been compared to Brock, and they say ‘Are you and Brock gonna fight? Are you and Brock gonna wrestle? I don’t know if the fighting is still an opportunity with me being in Bellator and him kind of being with the UFC; or I don’t know what the situation is right now. So I don’t know if the fight thing is possible, but to see me as Brock’s destroying everyone and save the day, or vice versa, whatever the case is, have us stand face to face? I think the crowd would go insane. And there’s a tremendous amount of money in it. If it were to happen, then I’m open for it.”

Angle and Lashley trade punches on the middle rope, until Angle plants Lashley with a "Angle Slam" off the ropes. Lashley somehow kicks out at two. Lashley avoids an Angle moonsault and applies an ankle lock submission on Angle. Angle counters out, rolls through, cradles Lashley and scores the pinfall. Or did he??? Kurt Angle wins and retains the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, however, as Impact ends, replays show that the referee missed Lashley get his shoulder up at two, which should've broken the pinfall.

Wrestling Lockup with Brandon, 1.31.15: Impact Wrestling Results

By @B_Rock1978

Wrestling Lockup with Brandon, brought to you by Triple Threat CLE. It's this week's TNA Impact recap edition. Last week, feast or fired returned and rewarded its winners and gave a pink slip to one loser, unfortunately it was the best looking one of the group that was fired, Velvet Sky. Austin Aries will receive a TNA World Title Match, Rockstar Spud will receive a TNA X-Division Title Match and Magnus will receive a TNA World Tag Team Title Match. TNA World Champion, Bobby Lashley went to war with MVP and his Beat Down Clan, which ended up in the streets of New York City. Jeff Hardy threw out a "Monsters Ball Match" challenge to Abyss. Bobby Roode and Kurt Angle continue to have issues with the Beat Down Clan as well. What will tonight hold? Let's go to the recap.

- In Ring Segment with Bobby Roode: Roode is in the ring with Bobby Lashley's TNA World Title in his possession. Roode says the title doesn't belong to him because it was stolen from him by Eric Young. Roode won't rest until EY's blood is spilled. Roode calls out Bobby Lashley to talk. Lashley comes out and goes face to face with Roode. Roode says he doesn't blame Lashley, because MVP and his crew are the ones behind everything. Roode mans up, hands back Lashley's title and asks for a rematch. Lashley accepts the challenge, however, Austin Aries heads out to the ring. Aries says he's always the man with the most options and hints at cashing in his Feast or Fired briefcase, tonight. MVP is out next with words to say. MVP says Aries holds all the cards but should hold his breath permanently, accuses Roode of whining, crying and blaming everyone else but himself and is disappointed with Lashley for taking the TNA World Title when he knows it belongs to the Beat Down Clan. MVP wants to cut ahead of Roode and Aries and throws down a challenge for the title to Lashley. Lashley tells Aries to save his briefcase because he's giving Aries, Roode and MVP all title shots tonight, in a fatal four way.

- Next week will be TNA Lockdown on free TV.

- "TNA Knockouts Championship, Triple Threat Match": Taryn Terrell (c) vs. Madison Rayne vs. Gail Kim: All three score near falls early. Kim gets tossed to the floor and Terrell cradled Rayne for a near fall. Rayne hits Terrell with a back elbow for a near fall, then sends Kim flying off the apron to the floor. Rayne near fall on Terrell with the northern lights suplex. Rayne hits a DDT/neck breaker combo on Kim and Terrell gets a couple more near falls.

- In Ring Segment with Tommy Dreamer: Dreamer is in the ring and wants to talk to Eric Young. EY comes out and is face to face with Dreamer. EY wants Dreamer out of his business. Dreamer says EY was the first to offer friendship when Dreamer came to TNA and Bobby Roode was the second. Dreamer thinks EY is making a huge mistake for his recent actions and shouldn't turn his back on Roode or the fans. EY says that Dreamer being a good guy made him a fat loser, he doesn't want to burn his bridge with Roode he wants to blow it up, being Dreamers friend was a mistake and EY doesn't make mistakes anymore. Dreamer can't believe EY would turn on Roode just because Roode didn't offer EY a title shot, when EY could have easily just asked Roode for one. EY heard enough as he gut kicks Dreamer and plants him with a piledriver. EY knockouts out the time keeper and grabs a steel chair. Bobby Roode hits the ring for the save.

Magnus talks some sense into Bram, reminding him that he'll be his partner when he cashes in the briefcase for the tag titles. Magnus says he's Bram's best friend, Bram's temper always played a part in him getting in trouble. Bram remembers Magnus bailing him out of jail, helping with money and helping him get a job.

Weekend 3 Count 12/22 - 12/28 #WWE #TNA #GFW

By @B_Rock1978

The Weekend 3 Count is brought to you by Triple Threat CLE.

*** Weekend Flashback ***

- From now till the Royal Rumble, I'll be flashbacking to some of my favorite moments in the Royal Rumble. This week's Royal Rumble flashback we're going back to highlights from the 1992 Royal Rumble where the winner became the NEW WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

*** WWE News and Rumors ***

- It appears WWE may be giving up on re-signing Brock Lesnar. Lesnar has still shown major interest in returning back to UFC once his current WWE contract expires the day after Wrestlemania 31.

- Randy Orton and Bad News Barrett returned this weekend at a WWE live house show. It's unknown still when both will return to live TV.

- WWE announced that the 2015 Extreme Rules Pay Per View will return to Chicago, Illinois. This will be the second time in six years Extreme Rules took place in Chicago.

- I've noted recently that Adrian Neville is set to be brought up to the main roster soon. Vince McMahon however thinks it's a great idea to give Neville a new gimmick. Neville's rumoured new gimmick will be a "Mighty Mouse" type of a character. Yes Mighty Mouse....the cartoon character.....Does Vince take drugs? Because some of the ideas he comes up with are some of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard of. Neville made a name for himself in NXT by being himself, he doesn't need a stupid cartoon character gimmick. Does Hurricane Helms ring a bell??

- Former NXT World Tag Team Champions, Konnor and Viktor, aka The Ascension, will make their RAW debut tomorrow night.

- Braun Stowman made his NXT debut at this past week's live events. Stowman was said to have a very good debut, moves well in the ring for being a big guy, was great on the mic and is being nicknamed "Monster Among Men".

- Bo Dallas is expected to be ready to return from his foot injury by years end. It is unknown if he will return to TV right away or if WWE will save him as a Royal Rumble entrant.

- Darren Young returned to live action this week after being out since Wrestlemania 30 with knee surgery. It is unknown when he'll return to TV. Another possible surprise Royal Rumble entrant.

- If you're wondering where Heath Slater has been the past few weeks, fear no more. It appears that WWE has given Heath Slater some time off while he deals with his legal issues. Slater is being accused of an alleged assault on a female hotel employee during Wrestlemania 27 weekend.

- Early this summer, WWE threw out the idea of making this year's Royal Rumble a 40 Man Rumble. There has been no more mention or build up of that being true, so it appears we'll be seeing a normal 30 Man Rumble.

- Current WWE Legend, Kevin Nash, was arrested on Christmas Eve for attacking his 18 year old son, Tristen. The story states that Tristen Nash attacked his mother and Kevin Nash stepped in to help her. Tristen was also arrested at the scene and both were held with no bond. WWE has since suspended Kevin Nash from his Legends contract. Nash was also supposed to appear on the January 19th edition of RAW with Scott Hall and Hulk Hogan for an nWo reunion. WWE has pulled him from that show too.

- Blu-Ray/DVD News 1: WWE will be releasing a new Ultimate Warrior Blu-Ray/DVD in the Spring of 2015. It will feature a new documentary and Warrior matches from the past.

- Blu-Ray/DVD News 2: WWE will be releasing a new Blu-Ray/DVD on February 17th called "Destruction of The Shield". The disc's will include past matches of Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. The match list can be viewed here.

*** TNA News and Rumors ***

- TNA is rumored to be angry with SpikeTV for the way they showed their last two "best of" episodes of TNA. SpikeTV showed both episodes later in the evening and not in their regular 9pm time. SpikeTV also not once advertised TNA jumping to Destination America in January.

- Destination America has added another TNA program to their lineup. Every weekend starting Saturday January 10th, "TNA's Greatest Matches" will be shown. The show will air TNA matches from TNA's twelve year history.

- Current TNA World Tag Team Champion, Abyss, is taking independent wrestling dates until the TNA relaunch in January.

- Gail Kim has still not signed a new TNA contract but has agreed to do a pay by appearance deal. There is a very good possibility we will see her for TNA's debut on Destination America.

- The TNA Knockouts Championship has received a make over for the reboot in January. The title, currently held by Taryn Terrell, used to be a white strap with red lettering. TNA has now changed it to a black strap with blue lettering.
