Puppies!

[#1-norm-fan]

Didn't actually see that ending spot between Stroman and Reigns til now. Lol Horrible.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, I didn't actually see it.... had it on in the background and heard Strowman won.... assumed it was in a convincing fashion.... guess not....

[#1-norm-fan]

Literally looks like Reigns just willingly dives into the ambulance for some reason. lol

[Droford]

"Please leave us alone."

I think most people are TRYING to. The chaos/drama between those two just always seems to find them of all people but nobody else.


TMZ has obtained audio from the altercation, and Alberto can be heard saying “…call the cops…Let’s do it. Get the cops.”

Paige then responds by saying “Just stay out of my life. Leave me the f**k alone. I’m trying to get away from you. All the time. Yes, you deserve it.

Alberto the tells Paige, “I’m pressing charges against you. You are pressing charges against yourself.”

Paige fires back with “…press charges…press charges… It gets me the f**k away from you.”

Alberto follows up with “Let’s go. I’m following you.” Then a fan tells him not to follow her.

Alberto then told the fan, “You’re not gonna let her go. Call the police. She assaulted me. She needs to be arrested.” The current GFW Champion then says they got into a fight at a restaurant before the audio ends.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Jesus Christ. This is just so sad. Both need a lot of help.

[drave]

Looks like the "E" was right to "split them up" with the brand split.

I think Paige is going to end up a hardcore druggie or dead before they are through.

[Mr. Nerfect]

She's so fucking young. She's coming out of those completely immature years, but she got given a lot before she could even legally drink. There's a lot of that "young starlet" diva shit going on with her. I hope that she and the WWE mend ways and they find a way to get her right as rain and repair that relationship. I mean, you know they want it, given that they haven't out-and-out fired her by now, and there is that movie about her family coming. Ideally, all parties would be on the same page. Hopefully something gets cooking.

[drave]

I see what you did there in the 2nd to last sentence :shifty:

[Mr. Nerfect]

I wish I could say I didn't mean it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Shelton Benjamin is apparently once again in talks of returning to the WWE.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

He's already signed. WWE have teased his return on Twitter.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm actually glad. I know his work in New Japan got slightly negative reviews, but I have no doubt that the dude can still go when he needs to. And even though he wasn't known for his talking, he did have good enough presence to make people buy into him having some sort of charisma. He was a fun act while he was there. If he's used in the mid-card, without the lofty expectations of him reaching some sort of mega-star level, he'll be fine. But I also think that with wrestling having a star problem, he might shine a bit brighter than people expect.

I'd definitely take him over Jinder Mahal as the WWE Champion, for example.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Whilst I'm a dude who prefers one-on-one matches, the idea of a 4-Way at SummerSlam for the Universal Title has got its appeal. Can you imagine Joe with the Coquina Clutch on Strowman on the outside, only for Reigns to Spear them through the barricade? Brock and Reigns could eventually square-off and Brock can get the F5, only for Strowman to pull out the referee and absolutely toss him. Brock can then dive onto Strowman. You can have Joe get Brock in The Clutch, but there's no referee. There's so much that can make this match stand out. I'd personally go with Reigns getting the belt here for the heat, with either Joe or Strowman taking the fall. Given that Reigns and Strowman have worked so extensively with each other this year, I'd go with Strowman taking the pin, leaving both Brock and Joe with gripes.

This could be compounded by the possibility that AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura for the US Title could be on the undercard. It may not be, but it could be. Imagine those two matches on the same show.

[Big Vic]

Samoa Joe will get Roman in the Totinos clutch and then Brock will F5 both of them.

Feed him More!

In fairness, she was like this before signing with WWE.

[#1-norm-fan]

Yeah, Cool King might have been right in thinking Paige was just an entitled diva/cunt all along.

Ramm worked the indies so I'm assuming he knows stories that you won't find reported.

There was a "documentary" about her family on UK TV years agos. Her getting signed to WWE was one of the "storylines". I didn't watch it but I remember that's where Cool King's Paige hate stems from. Assuming she came off as a bit of a twat.

Not so much "stories"... I worked on a couple of her dad's shows back in the day before waaaaaaay before either of us were famous :shifty:, and she just came across as very arrogant and spoiled... "daddy's little girl" and all that. At least to me, she did.

Dave Brookside. Although most of my videos weren't on YouTube as I was living in Germany at the time and copyright laws are a bitch. Since I came back to England a few years ago, my wrestling days have died down so I couldn't be bothered uploading anything.

If you wonder why the next NXT shows are quiet, from Meltzer: Speaking of the 7/12 tapings, one person there noted to us a strange almost backfire of sorts revolving around Mauro Ranallo. At the tapings, the crowd was mostly quiet again. We’re told in some places if fans started to make noise, other fans would tell them to be quiet because the building is so small and Ranallo talks so loud that if there’s no crowd noise, you can hear the commentary, and a lot of the live fans want to hear the commentary

[Big Vic]

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

This was my first thought too. For guys that are apparently "smart," you'd think they'd know how to add to shows. If you want to hear the commentary, watch the god-damn finished product later.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Apparently the WWE have a Fatal 5-Way Women's Match scheduled for Battleground and are planning a 4-Way for the RAW Women's Title at SummerSlam. The theory Meltzer asserts is behind this is that it minimizes the amount of storytelling you have to do, and the idea is that you don't have everyone beat. In actuality, you have everyone except the champion lose.

[drave]

So hostile. I personally really enjoy commentary, most of the time. I'm surprised they haven't added "live commentary" feed to the WWE app or a similar fashion that race tracks do for pit radios.

Wouldn't be difficult to implement at all

[Fignuts]

Whether you enjoy commentary or not, its pretty damn obnoxious to tell other fans to be quiet just so you can hear it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Whether you enjoy commentary or not, its pretty damn obnoxious to tell other fans to be quiet just so you can hear it.

Thank you. If a show isn't doing it for you, an emotional investment is hard to fake, but the idea that these guys are willing to be a detriment to the product on purpose is just infuriating. They're probably so invested in Full Sail as a venue, but I'd love to see that toy taken away from them.

They cheer for acts they don't really like, they create a false illusion of credibility and success for acts that then go and struggle on the main roster, and they are, frankly, marks for themselves.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I've got surprisingly little interest for the entire tournament, but I am about to watch the Mae Young Classic Parade of Champions.

Jazzy Gabert is being promoted on this website, and it turns out she is Alpha Female from Germany, who I always thought was a no-brainer signing.

I was watching some mid 2000's era WWE and i was thinking about all of the veterans they had in the mid-card at the time and if some of them could be higher up now.

D'Lo Brown when he came back, he could've at least been i.c champ. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

D'Lo suffered from being Russo's boy. He was fucking fantastic but no1 else saw anything in him.

Cornette helped get D'Lo's foot in the door. I imagine that he was a supporter too, but he was down in developmental by the time the Lo Down stuff started happening.

Was D'Lo actually a Russo boy? He seems to have stayed away from anything too ridiculous for the large part. I always connected the downtrend of his career to him losing something after the Droz incident. I don't know what it is (confidence?) but he never really seemed the same again.

I just read that D'Lo got his ring name from his high school friend who died of cancer. He asked the boys' mother for permission to use it.

He was to blame for Terri Runnels' "Miscarriage." So, yeah, he had some ridiculous moments.

He also had a close call with Val Venis at Summerslam '98.

It is kind of cool that he was the only guy in every WWF incarnation of the Nation of Domination. Starting from being one of the extras and taking the sick bumps. He eventually became the only named extra in the group. And the only one to not get fired by Farooq the first time around (and his expressions leading up to that was amazing. You could tell he thought he was screwed, but nope, it was Clarence Mason.).

Haha, I know I should just watch it, but I'm not interested enough. But I do want to know what it is really about.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Listening to JJ Dillon's latest podcast on booking a territory. I'm not super into it, but Dillon is cool to listen to. He's very soothing, so I've managed to drift off a few times (not because he's boring), but the most interesting thing that's come up so far is the idea of booking an angle. He emphasizes that you shouldn't have an angle on every show (no surprise there), but also that when you do film an angle, it's all the commentators should be talking about through the next match. It very goes against the "I wish the commentators would focus on the damn match" philosophy.

The whole thing is just another case study that makes me reflect on how the WWE has way too much television time to be good.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm reading that Talking Smack has been pulled back as a weekly television show, and that it will now only be after PPVs.

[Evil Vito]

I loved Talking Smack and will miss it, but I do understand the decision. Having it after 205 Live probably killed a lot of the audience. I like 205 Live personally, but I'd wager that the average WWE Network user doesn't bother watching it and even if they wanted to see Talking Smack weren't going to sit through another show to see it.

And even if you did want to watch all of it - when you add SmackDown, 205 Live, and Talking Smack together that's a solid 3.5+ hours of wrestling content, one night after you probably spent 3 hours watching Raw. I assumed they abandoned Raw Talk as a weekly show pretty quickly because they realized most people were already burned out by the time it came on - so I'm not too surprised to see it happening to Talking Smack.

[Big Vic]

F you 205 live.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I watched more Talking Smack than episodes of Smackdown since Mania. Fuck this.

[Nicky Fives]

I just had the idea that Kurt Angle should make a trade with Smackdown for Chad Gable to further put him over, trading him for "alot".... Could add it to Angle's mystery phone call storyline that he "has lost it since he gave up X, Y & Z and that is way too much for Gable, he's incapable as a GM, yadda yadda)

I think Miz could be a great opponent for him one he is done with Ambrose.....

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'd prefer something like that over the love child, but my latest prediction is that Angle has agreed to do some sort of celebrity dancing show and he has been training with newest RAW signing, No Way Jose, to prepare. The segment ends with Angle and Jose dancing in the ring.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Then get rid of 205 Live and the entire Cruiserweight Division for that matter. They aren't doing anything for anyone. Push Neville into something more prominent. Tozawa Power can team with Crews Control and they can be a fun tag act, but I don't think anyone would really miss anyone else from that show, sadly.

[Evil Vito]

I'd be all for canning the division officially. I think it's been a real detriment totally segregating them out from the rest of the roster. I actually could see value in most of the guys from that roster as far as helping to plug some holes in the midcard/undercard across both brands, but the division itself is incredibly meh.

Tozawa/Crews as a team is definitely something I could get behind.

Gentleman Jack Gallagher plays his role really well and is the type of inoffensive comedy character I could see WWE keeping around on Raw.

Drew Gulak and Tony Nese should start teaming again, maybe keeping Gulak's RTC-esque type gimmick. Send 'em to SmackDown and let them petition against the Fashion Police.

Rich Swann can go to SmackDown and join The New Day because that's definitely something WWE would do. I imagine he'd replace whatever member turns heel to leave the group, probably Big E.

Let TJP just be himself and people will keep booing him for being an MRA douchebag.

[screech]

I remember a few years ago WWE considered handing out little radio things at live events so fans could listen to commentary.

I thought that was a good idea. Anyone know why it never happened? Or was it just a big rumor?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Power & Control has an amazing 80s feel to it.

Lol, that name is tremendous.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'd be all for canning the division officially. I think it's been a real detriment totally segregating them out from the rest of the roster. I actually could see value in most of the guys from that roster as far as helping to plug some holes in the midcard/undercard across both brands, but the division itself is incredibly meh.

Tozawa/Crews as a team is definitely something I could get behind.

Gentleman Jack Gallagher plays his role really well and is the type of inoffensive comedy character I could see WWE keeping around on Raw.

Drew Gulak and Tony Nese should start teaming again, maybe keeping Gulak's RTC-esque type gimmick. Send 'em to SmackDown and let them petition against the Fashion Police.

Rich Swann can go to SmackDown and join The New Day because that's definitely something WWE would do. I imagine he'd replace whatever member turns heel to leave the group, probably Big E.

Let TJP just be himself and people will keep booing him for being an MRA douchebag.

Jack Gallagher was fun at the start of the year. He's inoffensive. I'd rather see Nese and TJP go though. They feel like failed experiments by this point. Drew Gulak can go to SmackDown and carry Rusev's bags. Give him some more time and see if anything falls out.

Rich Swann has fun entrance music. I liked the idea of him being in a team with Tozawa, but Crews has that locked down. I dunno, maybe you can try and give him a singles push on SmackDown away from the cruiserweights and see if it works.

[Evil Vito]

I'd classify Cedric Alexander as more of a failed experiment. It's not his fault that he got hurt and had to miss time but he's done literally nothing but feud with Noam Dar since the cruiserweight division started. And even when he was hurt they had Swann basically act as a proxy for Alexander in continuing the Dar feud. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

[Mr. Nerfect]

He came out of that CWC pretty hot, but they geeked him out pretty quickly.

https://i.redd.it/zf7ovuddrd9z.gif

Superb.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Just a random thought: When Austin Aries got released, I thought to myself that there must be quite a few people in the locker-room that aren't too happy. My mind went to Sami Zayn, for whatever reason. There's always those guys who are great wrestlers you feel could be more (Cesaro, Dolph Ziggler, etc.). The Colons are apparently depressed. I can't imagine many of the cruiserweights being too enthused. Alpha are young, but haven't exactly been given the best platform to highlight what they can do. Then you've got guys like Luke Harper and Erick Rowan who have barely been used recently. Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson are possibly the most expensive filler WWE has had since Big Show & Mark Henry. Enzo seems miserable, and Cass is even apparently experiencing some backlash.

All of this gets me to around to my point: I wouldn't be surprised if there is some sort of mass exodus of talent soon. I'll be "shocked," but not surprised. Everything has been so quite in the WWE for so long. They sign all the indy guys and basically pay them to keep their mouths shut as they go to work and smile like they're having the time of their lives. But I am suspicious that morale is as high as it seems, and there is always stuff bubbling beneath the surface. All it would take is a few squeaky wheels to just start asking for their releases and then others to follow suit.

He had come back and was on the show just 2 weeks ago.

Too bad they couldn't add that as an extra hour as apart of smackdown.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Usos promos sucked, but they were great unscripted on Talking Smack... So they added that to their character. Just everything about it feels dumb.

[Mr. Nerfect]

While I do get the frustrating that Talking Smack is gone, unscripted promos should be a thing that we get during SmackDown. The idea of the scripted promo itself is a wonky one, and we're kind of spitting the dummy about a little bit of string the company gave us for a while.

This is what I mean when I say that the WWE conditions us to tolerate crap. We're so used to mundane, scripted promos that our outrage is targeted at a show outside the bubble where that isn't the norm.

[Mr. Nerfect]

So much wrong with this company at the present time.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I personally cant make it through 15 minutes of Raw or Smackdown and thats generous.

Yeah. If Bryan is in the arena and on Smackdown he's usually on the show. If he isn't, he's not. I highly doubt they cancelled the show so that Daniel Bryan could leave work an hour or so earlier to spend more time with his kid. lol

[Emperor Smeat]

According to Sports Illustrated, main reason Talking Smack was dropped as a weekly show was due to Vince hating the direction of the show. Wasn't a money or viewership problem but Vince feeling the unscripted-like format of the show wasn't in WWE's best interest.

Contrary to reports, Talking Smack was not canceled due to a lack of viewers.

The WWE Network show, popular among fans for its organic nature, was canceled by Vince McMahon.

McMahon, whose appearances at weekly WWE television shows is becoming increasingly irregular, was at TVs this past week. Sources close to the situation reported that McMahon was unhappy with the show and strongly believed it did not serve the company’s best interests.

Also was revealed the eventual plan is to completely ditch the show at a later date. Right now its only planned to occur for Smackdown PPVs.

[Lock Jaw]

I think the show just needed a bit more "direction"...... Still have it mainly unscripted...... but as fun as it was, you should not have, for example, the dastardly heel Usos on the show being all jovial/friendly/face-like.

Was perfect for the women, who often don't get the chance to talk on the 2 hour Smackdown show. Other guys have also done great, while sticking to their characters.

[drave]

Hate to go the "out of touch Vince" route.... but that is the MAIN element that caused people to enjoy it!!!

I think, as some pointed out before this report, is that personalities were shining through a LOT more and it was becoming more entertaining than the actual show, which is true.

Vince has mentioned in the past about doing this exact same thing because of not wanting to end up the same way as his father. His father didn't get to enjoy being retired and died somewhat quickly afterwards.

Going by what others have said about him, Vince seems the exact type that would be very miserable while retired.

Here's a video from his podcast where he berates Tony Hinchcliffe with respect to professional wrestling. While he comes across as a jackass in the video, Rogan has acknowledged that professional wrestling is a tough business (on numerous occasions).

The winning team were to be the guest GMs on RAW as Bischoff was off on a vacation. Remember Lita and Trish main evening for the title when Jericho was the GM and Maven inserted himself in a WHC match against Hunter when it was his turn to be the GM.

Yeah... I went to Raw in the weeks after that. Guess who was GM at my Raw?

Goddamn Maven.

[Big Vic]

It was really weird because he goes from beating Batista to jobbing twice to Shelton on the same night.

The Elite are going to be wearing casts for a while...

[Lock Jaw]

Wish there was a way on the WWE Network to just watch the parts of a show involving one wrestler......

Like you could go to a year, turn on the "Macho Man" filter, and easily watch only the segments/promos/matches involving Macho Man, without having to skip around......

[drave]

The US version lets you do that. I was trying to find the Kurt Angle documentary and upon searching "Kurt Angle" there were hundreds of results.

Most of them would just say "match" with the date below.

[Lock Jaw]

Maybe the Canadian one does too. Not like I've checked.

But I want segments and promos too....

Like if you wanted to relive Kurt Angle's career, you could literally just go and watch every promo/segment/match in order......

[drave]

I don't recall if promos were in there or not. Do something while you melt to your floor.

[Lock Jaw]

Why would I melt to the floor?

Teddy Hart is doing Breaking Kayfabe with Kayfabe Commentaries. This might be the greatest thing ever

Yeah, I vaguely remember some really shitty comics from them, but the ones I've seen lately have been amazing. New writer?

If GFW really want to place themselves on the map, they should hire Teddy Hart to just be Teddy Hart every now and then. A Teddy Hart/Scott Steiner tag team would actually be tremendous. If Teddy showed up for work, that is.

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol yes

No the canadian network really sucks, it's just a normal channel with WWE stuff on it, you can't choose what you watch and it's more expensive, it's 15.99$ here !!

I feel like this would lead to Scott Steiner murdering Teddy Hart.

[Vastardikai]

I feel like this would lead to Scott Steiner murdering Teddy Hart.

And the downside is...?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

you make a valid point.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

listening to Jim Cornette talking about his hamburger towel right now.

You do know that you also get access to the online part as well?

[rob11]

Shane McMahon took a bump when his helicopter crashed into the ocean today but he's okay because he's Shane McMahon.

[GD]

That sounds scary.

[ozzman6669]

Not from all provider and you only get to watch what's on the channel, you can't choose what you watch !

Before Maria and Mike Kanellis...

At least with the Bodydonnas, at least they tried to give Skip something that wasn't "She's the only reason why I'm here."

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Which he still felt was a total embarrassment.

Good lord Sunny was hot.....

Im pretty sure you can't get it from Bell. We are with Cogeco so we get both

[Emperor Smeat]

Not sure if anyone listens to this podcast show but apparently the creators of the Dirty Heel Podcast show got outed for selling plagarized designs and bootleg merch from other creators and wrestlers.

Was selling shirts with stolen designs from TDE Wrestling and bootleg Pete Dunne merch as recent stuff discovered.

Randomly decided to watch IYH:Ground Zero

Right off the bat we get Pullman vs Goldyst bc Pullman is the father of Goldusts daughter.

Pullman died less than a month later so they dropped the angle.

[Droford]

Lol very next match is Brian Christopher vs Scott Putski in full "denial that Lawler is Brian's father" mode

Lol

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Pillman*

[Droford]

Its midg..minis!

El Torrito got fat

Lol crowd going bonkers for the minis after sitting onntheur hands for 10 minutes of Crush/Savio/Farroq

[Bad News Gertner]

Surprised Savio didn't get an IC Title run

[Big Vic]

He's a pretty shitty poster, not surprised.

[Droford]

Totally forgot patriot had kurts theme first
Weird

[Schlomey]

Walked in to tell my kid goodbye on my way to work and he fell asleep watching old wrestling..i saw Austin doing a beer toast as I was shutting the door...attaboy.
