Very good episode.

[#1-norm-fan]

The first paragraph of that is confusing as shit. Please edit.

For the first episode, it is a career retrospective on Bill Goldberg. It was a very relevant topic for the first episode with Goldberg being back in the ring for the first time in over a decade. This show continues the trend of listener contributions by having topics voted on by the masses on Twitter. The first episode was not voted on but it probably would have won hands down in my opinion.

It's confusing because of the choice to not have a vote. I've flipped the first sentence to the bottom of the paragraph though.

[Maluco]

Maluco is sort of right about not relying on older wrestlers as your main source for high profile matches at least in a modern WWE sense.

Historically it used to be the real big pushes and money making moments didn't happen till your late 30s but almost no company had as tough of a touring schedule as the WWE especially in modern times. Way too much wear & tear from it which affects older wrestlers a lot more.

WWE's current trend for high profile matches to be a lot more high tempo and hard hitting also does no favor for older guys without needing to go in the part-timer route. Not even Cena is immune to this which is why he's been more of a part-timer in recent years because the wear & tear started to affect him a lot.

Doesn't mean older stars can't produce great matches anymore but your going to be very limited on how many they can produce before breaking down (ex. Sting) or need long breaks (ex. Taker) in the WWE. Roode being 40 means his shelf life for top quality matches is going to be small and same goes for Nakamura and other older stars from NXT.

Exactly this! Plus, while I appreciate the two examples given, I did say mid-forties on, which is extremely rare, and the two examples given are arguably the two best wrestlers of all time.

Even 20 years ago in WCW, how many older guys were stinking up main events every week? The wear and tear in on another level now

I am just saying, you want memorable Bobby Roode matches in WWE? Get him up now, while he can still give you 4-5 years of them.

According to PWI, Rock N' Roll Express are rumored to be among this year's class for WWE's Hall of Fame.

Brings the total to 9 so far for confirmed and rumored names.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Tony Schiavone's new podcast is pretty great. Much better than that full of shit blowhard Bruce Prichard's

Tony seems less "knowledgeable" and agreeable about whatever is thrown his way, but he's fucking funny.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I posted this in the WrestleMania thread, but I really hope Cena keeps the WWE Title until WrestleMania and defends it in a Triple Threat against Orton and Styles. It isn't something I would have booked from way back in November, but given where the pieces currently lie, I think it would feel like the most "special" thing they could put forward. Cena and Orton represent an older era of WWE Superstars, and while AJ Styles is the same age as Cena and older than Orton, he's "fresher" and represents change with a mature face to achieve it.

As for Wyatt? Put the IC Title on him. It does nothing for Ambrose. Wyatt can cut promos about how Bray has already secured one singles title and Orton is going to secure the big one at WrestleMania, which doesn't bother him because he's a selfless ally. Luke Harper challenges his former mentor Bray Wyatt as Bray cuts promos talking about aimless Luke Harper was without him and that he turned a lost boy into a monster. Cena or Styles eventually pumps up Harper by reminding him that he is one of the biggest bad-asses they have ever seen and he had a legion of fans before he even stepped foot into The Wyatt Family compound. Bray's been using him and it is time to break free.

Bray expects Harper to back off at WrestleMania, but Harper gets that crazed look in his eyes and just KILLS Wyatt for the first portion of the match. Heel strategies allow Bray to fight back and he screams "There's a monster in me too!" He goes to do his spider walk and Harper sits up and sticks his tongue and laughs at Wyatt, freaking out the Intercontinental Champion, who is eventually beaten down, given a Discus Clothesline caught into Sister Abigail for the pin.

After Orton fails to win the WWE Title in the main event (even though it is John Cena that taps out to the Calf-Crusher), Bray Wyatt blames The Wyatt Family's lack of success on Randy Orton at WrestleMania. He points Orton after Harper and demands that instead of focusing on the WWE Title, he brings the IC Title back to their ranks. Orton vs. Harper is goes more violent than their past matches, with Harper retaining the title, leading to the ultimate destruction of The Wyatt Family and a feud between Bray and Orton.

[Emperor Smeat]

The 30 For 30 episode on the XFL has been decent so far. Looks like the rule book for the league seems to be what was the real turning point for it being a failure. NBC hated it compared to how they marketed the league and knew it was going to fail in terms of how games would be.

Also Vince being typical Vince and not listening to those saying his idea wasn't going to work without major changes done early. Vince wanted to do his stuff first and then change it if needed which NBC knew was going to doom the league from the start.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Vince's main cameraman from the WWE realizing Vince was insane with wanting camera guys being on the actual field as plays were going on. Main reason why Vince had to pay extra for anyone crazy enough to do it for XFL games.

Also :lol: at someone from NBC showing Vince a Madden NFL video game to explain the idea of sky cams (which NFL didn't do at the time).

[Emperor Smeat]

The story of the first XFL game as it happened is way too hilarious and all for the wrong reasons.

[Emperor Smeat]

Holy crap Vince pulling a Bonds villain move with how he demoted NBC's main announcer for the games in favor of Jim Ross.

Had the announcer guy walk down a dim lit stadium to a limo eerily waiting at the end. Lights dimmed inside the limo and Vince pretty much demoted him on the spot in favor of Jim Ross for the prime time or "A" tier XFL games.

The guy legit thought Vince was going to have him beaten up because of how shady the whole experience felt.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Tony Schiavone's new podcast is pretty great. Much better than that full of shit blowhard Bruce Prichard's

what's the dealio content wise?

[Emperor Smeat]

Don't think anything the WWE has or will ever do can top the train wreck that was week 2 of the XFL. Holy crap at the amount of stuff going wrong during the night and to top it off, it was on the same night as the highly anticipated SNL episode with Jennifer Lopez as the guest.

This 30 For 30 on the XFL got really good after the first 30 minutes.

[BigCrippyZ]

:lol: Even more examples of why nobody who actually works in the television production industry respects, takes seriously or is worried about Vince. :lol:

[Lock Jaw]

I work in the television production industry and I respect Vince.......

[Emperor Smeat]

Could legit see Vince try one more time doing something football related whenever he finally decides to hand off the company to Steph and Triple H.

He pretty much implied no XFL 2 and would have to work with the NFL to make it successful. Probably something production related considering NFL borrowed several stuff from the XFL or maybe something a bit more ambitious like a developmental system done in other sports.

[Simple Fan]

Yeah the 30 for 30 was pretty good. XFL might have worked if they hadn't rushed the league along and have the teams time to form and adjust to the rules. That 2nd week game for them was brutal though and was no coming back from that even with a great game. I've got XFL cheerleader cards but I've never even seen an XFL player card. Vince didn't really do himself any favors but damn do I miss that Vince McMahon.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

what's the dealio content wise?

They talk about one topic a week chosen by the audience. Conrad is a Meltzer Sheep though. Content is basically Conrad researching the rags and his knowledge of a fan experiencing it. Bruce Prichard is a lot better debunking Meltzer's shit cause he remembers more.

Tony is funny af though and he likes Star Trek Deep Space Nine, so he is a pretty cool guy.

They've only done one show so far. It was on Goldberg. I really enjoyed it. No fake arguments like on Prichard's show and Tony actually doesn't spew bullshit. I really enjoyed it and I hardly ever listen to podcasts not on the Place To Be Nation or 605 Superpodcast

They've wrestled in Japan before and didn't swear.

I don't think Cena was on the card thankfully. You can usually hear him call his spots anyway, but with a Japanese crowd, it would be something else.

Lesnar was asked what the most romantic thing he ever did for his wife (Rena Mero, f.k.a. Sable). Lesnar told a story about taking Rena on a tropical vacation after their son turned one year old. Lesnar told Rena to leave her wedding band at home so that it didn't get stolen. The people that were watching his kids took his wedding band and said that his son had swallowed it. They found an X-Ray online of a child with a ring inside their stomach. When Lesnar returned home, he wanted to buy Rena a new wedding band but she decided to search for the wedding ring inside the child's poop. She tried searching for the ring, to no avail. Lesnar bought her a new ring and gave it to her a couple of days later on their five-year wedding anniversary when they renewed their wedding vows.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

makes me sad Bobby Heenan hates Schiavonne, but I remember Tony talking about it and taking full responsibility which made me respect him.

I thought this story was gonna end with him beating the fuck out of the people who took the ring. Feel like that's how it should have ended.

Lol Prichard is so full of shit it's coming out of his ears.

I've actually started enjoying the podcast, for some weird reason, even though this is pretty evident. It's like a hangnail you just can't stop playing with. There are little things he digs his hooves into the ground about that are just like "WTF? Are you really taking that line?".

Conrad isn't so much a Meltzer sheep as he is a dude that uses the dirt sheets to frame the time and provide content for his hosts to either confirm or deny. He plays babyface against Prichard, but they're clearly in on it.

Think she's around a week or two from matching Fandango for longest period between start of hype videos to actual debut in recent years. His was around 4 months before the debut occurred.

Would be legit surprised if she debuts before the RAW After Mania show.

The greatest story about Terry Taylor was told by Brian Last.

It was in like 1993 at Madison Square Garden. It was Taylor's first night back in the Garden and he looked around and said to himself but loudly "I"m Back"

Somebody in the crowd heard it and went Cockle doodle do.

Yeah and Too Cool had a dance party in the Middle of the Royal Rumble.

Also Taka Vision.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

The match I was talking about between Taylor and Santana was so shockingly good. Tito usually locks on a headlock for 25 minutes but instead they actually worked a fucking match. It was a "10 minute broadway" but they definitely almost went 15 minutes. Really fast paced. Kind of made me think that Tito could work when he actually chose to.

Was that Booker theme actually officially ever used in an arena? I remember it being the one they dubbed over on DVDs when they didn't want to licence his theme, which is why it's in games like X8 and Crush Hour as well.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I think so. I remember him coming out to it at some point.

[Tom Guycott]

Watching the XFL thing..2 things popped out to me

A - if they had not rushed everything to happen in 1 year from the initial announcements the XFL might have stood a better chance
B - the XFL would work today

Possibly, but they would have to cut overtime in some way like college and pros do. I seem to recall a Saturday night game going to 4 overtimes, and J.R. making the call: "I think I just heard Lorne Michaels faint!"

[Tom Guycott]

Yeah and Too Cool had a dance party in the Middle of the Royal Rumble.

Also Taka Vision.

More successful than Ernest "The Cat" Miller's Royal Rumble dance party...

[Tom Guycott]

Wondering if The Spirit Squad are still with the WWE considering that they're both listed as official members of the Smackdown roster.

Should've come out to American Alpha's open challenge.

Wrestlemania X8 on the Gamecube had this.

I remember liking 2 things about that game, being able to break any move while it was being performed AND being able to throw like 17 tables into the ring.

[Evil Vito]

Shit like this pisses me off.

Why? It's a unique way to escape a hold.

[Cool King]

Damn...feel stupid having forgotten about that...one of the few good tracks from WWE Originals.

That's not from WWE Originals. It's a dubbed theme.

You may be thinking of this:

It was never actually used live in arenas. I may be wrong, but I think it's just used on the Judgement Day and Armageddon 2003 DVDs and also WrestleMania X-8 and Crush Hour (like you said) but also WrestleMania XIX too.

[Cool King]

I wouldn't mind a WWE Originals 2 being released though.

[Cool King]

Maybe even a Crush Hour 2 but at a cheap price.

I know Crush Hour was pretty much panned and it wasn't that great of a game, but I enjoyed it anyway.

[Cool King]

Why? It's a unique way to escape a hold.

Maybe it's Daivari's reaction to it that pisses him off?

Maybe if Daivari's didn't stay in the hold position, it wouldn't have pissed him off.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

They have to give the crowd time to realize what happened to react. Even RKOs "out of nowhere" are set up.

[Big Vic]

He should collapse his arm immediately.

If I was road agent Road Doggy Dogg I would have whooped their asses then get a promotion.

[Big Vic]

I would be less annoyed if they did that spot on Saturday Morning Slam though.

[Vastardikai]

I think a better reaction would have been Daivari looking at his hands like "Wait, what?"

Similar to the reaction to Billy Robinson's full nelson escape. (Regal did the same spot, but elbowed the guy in the face before they could react.)

Here's an odd fact I just found out while researching something...

Out of all wrestlers with at least 250 matches under their belt, Goldberg has the best winning percentage of all time. Number two? Mojo Rawley.

lolwhat?

[Lock Jaw]

GET ON THAT HYPE TRAIN, BABY

[#1-norm-fan]

Slightly less odd, if we limit it to just wrestlers with over 50 matches The Ultimate Warrior has the best winning percentage of all time and Asuka is 2nd.

[Mr. Nerfect]

That really is weird. There is something to unpack there about how guys are booked, frankly. Asuka having the best winning percentage of all-time would be a great gimmick if they kept her strong and clear of the 50/50 club.

According to WWE's recent fiscal report, Network has around 1.5 million subscribers with the breakdown being 1.4 million paid in the US and around 400k for the rest of the world. Puts them around the break even range (1.3-1.5 million per month) although for the first time they didn't include free accounts into the numbers.

In their earnings report, WWE announced that as of 1/31, the WWE Network has 1.5 million paid subscribers, with 1.4 million paid in the United States and 0.4 million paid internationally.

WWE did not announce how many subscribers they currently have if you include the free subscriptions they have given away through Wrestlemania to former paid subscribers


In terms of overall revenues, WWE managed to have its highest fiscal year ever at $729 million in revenue. Net profit ended up being around $33.4 million overall which ends up being lower than pre-Network era for that category. TV fees basically carried the company this year since everything else was mostly down.

Revenue numbers are the highest in company history. Profits are still well below the pre-Network levels, although most projections are they will be at or ahead of those levels in 2017 due to an increase in TV rights fees and lower tax rates.

Most of the year was actually somewhat even in profits except that last year in the fourth quarter the company lost $1.2 million and this year's fourth quarter profits were $8.0 million. Total revenue in quarter four was $194.9 million, up from $166.2 million in quarter four of 2015 ...

U.S. subscriber numbers at year-end were 1,033,000, up from 940,000. However, the Network division overall decreased in profitability for the year from $48.4 million to $36.9 million, due to increases in costs of the Network programming and a major decline in PPV.

Virtually all significant profit growth comes from television rights fees. Profits were up on television from $88.0 million in 2015 to $114.8 million in 2016, even though revenue increased by $10.6 million. Some of that is misleading, in the sense that they expense some things to the Network that were formerly expensed to television ...

If there was a hidden negative, it's that live event attendance, while up overall due to running more shows, decreased in profitability as well as average attendance.

For the main brand shows, the average paid attendance in quarter four was 5,300, down from 6,300 in the same quarter last year. That doesn't factor in NXT events. The total profits for all fourth quarter shows, including NXT events, fell from $7.3 million to $6.2 million in the fourth quarter.

Apparently a British promotion called PCW is currently dealing with some serious backlash in regards to an upcoming memorial show for one of their former wrestlers.

Ended up deceiving people who bought tickets or donated money to the show thinking it was going to the deceased wrestler's family and/or cancer-related charities. Instead they are pocketing all the money and felt they already did enough for the wrestler while he was alive.

A couple wrestlers involved in the show got really upset and are donating their pay from the show to a cancer charity called Cavendish Cancer Care.
