Wonder if WWE will yank Renee from this show considering Moxley's recent WWE exit and his surprise debut for AEW last night.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I imagine Renee and King will both be yanked.

[Evil Vito]

I dunno. Renee, King, and Corey Graves have been appearing regularly for NEW even though SCU and the Lucha Brothers regularly get booked for them.

Is it a WWE Network thing. Sounds interesting.

[Droford]

Is it a WWE Network thing. Sounds interesting.

Yeah it was brand new at 8pm.basically in 1999 Bischoff hot fired, Russo took over and ran it into the ground, Bischoff came back and tried to buy WCW. Actually had a deal done on January 11, 2001. They were going to take 3 months off for a reset and have the Big Bang PPV May 6th and do all their shows from the Hard Rock in Vegas instead of touring. Deal fell through cause they had negotiated a deal for 10 years to have the new WCW air on Wednesday on TBS and Ted Turner decided to get out of wrestling completely so he pulled back the Wednesday slot. In steps Vince to buy WCW and the rest is history.

Show was only 20 minutes, kind of a bummer but I didn't know any of it

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lol, WCW was already well into the ground by the time Russo got there. I'm no Russo apologist, but that's why he was brought in. He made things worse though.

[GD]

Saw Chris Benoit winning the WCW Championship for the first time tonight. Was it a "big deal" when it happened?

Remember watching "The History of the World Heavyweight Championship" DVD set and how they took liberties when it came to recognizing former NWA and WCW Champions as "World Heavyweight Champions" although the lineage of the title begins from 2002 when it was awarded to Triple H.

Not really. Benoit left the company right after winning it, and it seemed a much bigger deal that he jumped ship to the WWF. WCW was dead then. In fact, it mattered so little that at least at a certain point the WWF themselves stopped referencing he was a former champ.

Yeah that's gonna be a sell out. 2,000+ easily at the Mid Hudson Civic Center, one of the best small arenas for rasslin in the country. What a fucking main event.

Thing that bums me out is that NEW show was supposed to be in Wappingers Falls at a baseball stadium. They run an event there every summer. But due to a scheduling conflict they had to change venues to a place that won't have the same capacity.

I remember someone at school who ordered the PPV telling me Benoit was now the WCW Champ... and I don't think going into the PPV he was even booked for the title match so I was surprised. I was very excited to see Nitro that night and what could happen with a Benoit title run. I think when I got home and turned on my AT&T dial up I found that Benoit had left WCW and signed with WWE. I was more shocked about that than the title win.

Had they booked Benoit to be the champ 4 months before.... I dunno man, I'm very optimistic but if they had committed to that choice I could see things being different potentially.

I couldn’t agree more. He came across as such a nice person.

[Bad News Gertner]

Hopefully he's cashing in on this (from the sounds of it he is)

I recently learned that he never appeared on t.v in the US. I had no idea. I saw him a few times growing up in Canada

Huh? That can’t be right. I’m sure I just recently saw a match of his from Superstars.

[Bad News Gertner]

There was a Canadian version of Superstars. They wanted t.v in Canada, but Canada has Canadian Content rules or "Can Con", so they'd have a Canadian version of Superstars. You'd see guys like George Wells(former CFL star) and Tom Magee on it a fair amount.

Mix of both. Wall Street over-valued their stocks to begin with and WWE doing nothing to really fix their woes. Probably going to be like this till the new tv deals kick in and levels off to WWE's real value.

Same happened last time with the debut of the Network. Their stocks shot up in price more than it should have been and then investors started to bail when they realized all those promises were hollow. Several months later, they lost almost all of the bump the Network's launch gave them and leveled off at a value slightly higher than pre-Network.

Fightful current speculating that Tyler Breeze was the mystery person in WWE to get a $500k contract extension in order to entice him to remain in the company.

This was around the same time that WWE was trying to keep The Revival and The Club from leaving when they requested their releases and/or made it known they were not staying.

He actually lives near Full Sail so he might have as close as you can feel like a “normal job” in wrestling.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

was thinking the one advantage AEW has over TNA with establishing strong footing as a viable product is that the latter, from the beginning, was run by old guard guys. IIRC even before Hogan and the idiots ran roughshod, the Jarretts were involved.

AEW has young minds with their finger on the pulse. They seem like people whose perspectives are beyond wrestling and don't live in a bubble. You hear Cody and Kenny talk and you go "wow these guys are fucking smart."

It feels 'fresh.' I don't expect it to be perfect but I like a lot of what they've done so far.

[Emperor Smeat]

Plus a bunch of them actually bring something different to the table from a backstage perspective.

Bucks have been the go-to guys for building up the tag division, Omega for women's division, Tony Khan for the sports outlook, Janela/SCU/Best Friends for indies scouting, and Cody for the NWA/old style wrestling outlook. Lets them all focus on the stuff they are good at while leaving the rest for others who have more experience with it.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

but they don't have Baron Corbin - which will be their ultimate demise.

[Tom Guycott]

I imagine how huge Cesaro would be down in nxt. The matches he'd put on, the reaction he'd get. And it'd allow him to work on things that he's not good at, and do it in an environment that'd give him time and that's he'd be perfect for.

Oh, you mean like that match he had with Sami Zayn during his Real American run? Everyone went apeshit for it. You'd think it would have led somewhere, especially with how much SZ was being showcased as "Best Bout Machine" before Kenny Omega even came up with that moniker. Then, he got called up, and it was nothing but hipster shuffles and annoying promos ever since. And Cesaro didn't get jack shit, either, even when fans were popping for the giant swing and holding up Cesaro Section signs.

[Tom Guycott]

What can you do? Gotta make room for Kofi/Roman/Shane.

And Baron Corbin. Don't forget Corbin and all the <s>X-Pac</s> heat he generates. :|

[Tom Guycott]

... actually, Baron is worse.

At least X-Pac was cool for a hot minute, then just went to the well too many times with the same schtick/exact same match week after week after week. His apathy came from just getting stale. Corbin's act fell through even in developmental, but he got called up and pushed anyway. He's more like old debut fedora and "hoo-rah" Miz if Miz never improved at all and still sucked that badly years later.

MJF has already addressed that... https://twitter.com/The_MJF/status/1113158510509002753

Rosie O’Donnell is a hack. She is without doubt responsible for the resurfacing of this clip. I think it’s pretty obvious that she’s attempting to attach herself to my constant rising star as her career continues to dwindle into obscurity. Not only was the video leaked without my consent, but my appearance on the show was traumatizing.

I moved past the white trash woman, then felt a burning sensation in my eyes when a massive whale of a woman went to hug me. This was Rosie O’Donnell. Trying to be polite in light of not even being offered my standard fee for hugging a fan, I simply said “no thanks” and walked past her towards her not so lovely love seat. The interview started. While I tend not to pay attention to cretin words, and struggling to understand the language she was speaking ( I don’t speak “poor”), she managed to coerce me into singing. After she got what she wanted, I abruptly left the stage.

[Mr. Nerfect]

to WWE's credit if you go here (https://www.wwe.com/titlehistory/raw-tag-team-championship) he and Angle are listed as the first Raw Tag Team Champions. They wont obviously show him in a video so its kinda hard to acknowledge in the video.

I actually think they should have just started a new Lineage with the New Day as champions going into the split

My comment was basically that it was a shame theyhad to resort to roman having "leukemia" to get him over as face (comment was deleted). The fact they were trying to get Ambrose to say shit about it backs up the idea he was never really sick (if he was really sick and they wanted Ambrose to cut promos about it then theyre worse than the worst), plus he went and filmed the movie with the rock and was supposedly "a long way off" from returning to WWE a couple weeks after "entering treatment" and suddenly hes "in remission" just conveniently enough to do the shield match and wrestle at Mania not even 4 months later.

That's a bit ill-timed, Droford. Also, recovery/remission isn't the same in all cases.

granted, I didnt have the stuff about Ambrose back then but..if he really had Leukemia they wouldnt have done that to Ambrose

So if Brock is going to absolutely cash in Monday, and Taker will be at RAW...odds Taker screws him over to set up Taker/Lesnar again at WM

[Mr. Nerfect]

Always baffling to me that they chose to keep the SmackDown WWE Tag Team Championship lineage alive when they unified the belts in 2009.

I'd say no to the Brock/Taker idea, but that really does seem like something they would line up for Blood Money in November or Mania next year.

[Emperor Smeat]

Always baffling to me that they chose to keep the SmackDown WWE Tag Team Championship lineage alive when they unified the belts in 2009.


Think the idea was them wanting to break off from the older eras and establish the newer belts from the brand split era as the de facto titles going forward. That also meant ignoring all the old history attached to the belts with the exception of the IC and WWE belt.

Its also why the current RAW tag belts only trace back to 2002 since that was the original Smackdown tag belts when it became the de facto WWE tag belt prior to the 2nd brand split era.

That's why it is incorrect for them to suggest that The New Day are the first RAW Tag Team Champions.

Also, they even chose the Divas Championship's lineage over the original WWE Women's Championship when the titles were unified.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm actually glad that the belts don't mean anything anymore, so you can stop trying to trace lineages and such. Fuck it, Crash Holly is now a former 11-time WWE Champion. Who cares?

I ended-up with a semi-coherent first draft for the thread about re-doing the year 1998-in-WCW.

However, work remains before I'll have a finished draft that I'm satisfied-with.

To fill the gap, here's some "comedy relief!"

[Emperor Smeat]

According to Jon Moxley, Dusty Rhodes original vision for his Dean Ambrose character is going to be a big influence on the direction of his new character in AEW and the indies.

There are no peers to Dusty Rhodes but he treated me like one. He had this vision of me, of how I was going to take over WWE. These vignettes would be in a smokey bar, the camera zooms in on my back, Dean Ambrose leather jacket, in the Viper Club. He called it the Viper Club but he meant the Viper Room. He had this vision of me as a Johnny Depp, River Phoenix, “you’re James Dean baby”. He literally saw me as the coolest person in the world; that’s how he pictured these vignettes and pitched them to me. Dusty saw me as the coolest person in the world and Vince saw me as an idiot. That’s the difference between the two.

Flash forward to my first promo I released after leaving WWE, the prison one and I knew we were filming in LA. I kept thinking about the leather jacket and the Viper Club and I insisted on getting a shot at the Viper Room, just for me. There was deep, deep meaning to that. What I didn’t know is that the dice on the wall were on a two and five, double or nothing but the conspiracy theorists out there noticed it.

He revealed it during a recent interview with website 25YearsLaterSite.com

Worst thing just happened for WWE based on tonight's NBA Finals Game 2 result. They needed Raptors to win to preserve a potential sweep and instead they lost guaranteeing a Game 5.

Observer thinks next Monday could end up setting a new all-time low for RAW since its going head-to-head with Game 5.

Raw should do well, whatever well is, tomorrow with Undertaker back and no NBA competition. The June 10 show could set a record low if the NBA finals go to five games and then the numbers shouldn't approach record lows until football season.


Also seems Impact can't catch any breaks from their Pursuit Channel deal. Going to lose more of their dwindling television exposure due to AT&T no longer carrying the network.

It appears AT&T U-verse cable is no longer carrying The Pursuit Channel, which is the home of Impact.

D'Amore arguing is admirable but mistaken. Nobody should be bragging about Impact as a company. They have a stigma they can't shake and have struggled mightily since day one.

The comparisons between WWE and WCW are pretty uncanny right now.

[Mr. Nerfect]

When I found out Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko publicly blasted WCW while under contract, I just found it so surreal. Raven, Konnan and Sting also make public statements at separate points. It was such a shit-show circus, but now you've got WWE talent publicly wanting out and going on Twitter and talking about how unhappy they are. It's fucking amazing.

Would send it back with only “provocative”, “edgy” and “offensive” just for confusion.

Though Vince would probably be like “Goddamn, pal. Cutting edge. Just like I’ve been saying.” So maybe not.

They already announced it on NXT TV.

Random thoughts/lamentations about Asuka:

- Beats Becky Lynch clean at Royal Rumble
- Loses the title pretty quickly, clean to Charlotte
- Becky Lynch wins both titles at WrestleMania

- Instead of coming out and being "in the mix" and being all "I beat you once Becky" or "I want to finally beat you Charlotte"....... she disappears for weeks and comes back as part of an infrequently appearing tag team in an infrequently appearing women's tag division

[#1-norm-fan]

Sounds similar to last year when she followed up the longest undefeated streak in WWE history by being used to put over Carmella who went on to be a comedy act.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah.... but somehow I always get fooled into thinking someone can "get back on track" and become "relevant again"......

I honestly thought they were all going to be positive things until you get to the end. "Offensive," "out-of-date, "boring" and "unoriginal" all seem to fit the best.

Random thoughts/lamentations about Asuka:

- Beats Becky Lynch clean at Royal Rumble
- Loses the title pretty quickly, clean to Charlotte
- Becky Lynch wins both titles at WrestleMania

- Instead of coming out and being "in the mix" and being all "I beat you once Becky" or "I want to finally beat you Charlotte"....... she disappears for weeks and comes back as part of an infrequently appearing tag team in an infrequently appearing women's tag division

WrestleMania probably should have been Becky vs. Ronda and Asuka vs. Charlotte. Well, the whole period of Asuka after Mania last year probably should have been entirely different.

I'd still prefer that Asuka join up with Charlotte, having been beaten by her for her streak and her belt, instead of teaming with Kairi. Could be a "I can't beat you, so I'm going to ensure you're the top woman in this industry" type of deal. Have Charlotte form her own faction of women that are going to protect her, ala the Four Horsemen. You can do the predictable thing and call them the Four Horsewomen, or you can call them something like "Natural Selection."

If they wanted the Women's Tag Titles off Sasha & Bayley, Nattie & Beth could have beaten them, turned heel and joined Charlotte as well. That's a heel faction I'd have some sort of potential investment in.

Yeah.... but somehow I always get fooled into thinking someone can "get back on track" and become "relevant again"......

It's just not going to happen. I think at this point their jig is up.

[Fignuts]

Said way back when that it should have been Asuka vs Charlotte at Mania. Give yourself two money women's matches instead of just one clumsily built three way feud.

Can't picture Asuka being anyone's lackey. She's a god damn empress.

To the first point: Exactly.

Two the second: Not anymore.

[Fignuts]

As badly as she has been handled, I would still cringe seeing her as Charlotte's henchwoman. Just doesn't fit her character.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I wouldn't make her a henchwoman. It would be more a Ric Flair/Arn Anderson thing. Kind of a like a loyalty thing. At some point you would be able to turn her face and have her kill Charlotte, which just isn't in the cards right now.

Matt Riddle might be in the 50-man battle royal.

That's the real reason Kerry Von Erich lost his foot.

Wrong Von Erich. Kevin wrestles barefoot.

WWE is trying to get approval for Alexa to wrestle Natalya on friday.

I wonder what the reaction will be if WWE does manage to get a womens match allowed onto the Saudi card.

[GD]

Stephanie wouldn't stop talking about it.

[Droford]

they should have gotten approval earlier so they could hype it up more

[Emperor Smeat]

I'd assume mostly negative in the sense of people seeing right through WWE's desperate attempt for some cheap PR considering how much their image has been damaged from the Saudi deal.

If they were actually sincere about it, they wouldn't have hold off this potential historic women's match until after all the tv advertising of the show was done.

Plus the gloating from them if they do pull if off is going to quickly become unbearable.

[#1-norm-fan]

I wonder what the reaction will be if WWE does manage to get a womens match allowed onto the Saudi card.

The flurry of semen flying toward them from the crowd will make the match resemble that arrow scene from 300.

[Tom Guycott]

Yeah.... but somehow I always get fooled into thinking someone can "get back on track" and become "relevant again"......

HAHA this is WWE booking you naive little idiot... eat shit!!!

For some reason, all these adjectives made me think of the Dean Malenko titantron. They should have added all those to it, too. Especially "Arousing" and "Kinky".

[XL]

Why Alexa vs Natalya? Odd choice.

[DaveWadding]

Guess Adam Cole is in line for a call up soon. Can't wait for the payoff of a 6 month storyline just to introduce Maggle Cole's BAYBAY.

[Jordan]

I don't see Adam Cole doing well in WWE... I hope so but I don't count on it.

[Jordan]

Just want to record my prediction for Super Showdown...

Corbin beats Seth for the Uni, and Brock cashes in on Kofi or Dolph for the WWE Championship.

[Lock Jaw]

Don't see any of the Undisputed Era guys having much success apart from each other.... their value is in the group, I think.....

Has a title changed hands at one of these things yet? Seems like the goal is to stack the card so the Saudis feel like they’re getting a WrestleMania but to save anything “major” for later.

[Droford]

Alexa vs Sasha was the first women's match in Abu Dhabi so nattie is the fill in

[Innovator]

Nattie's outfit probably is closest to already being full body

Becky Lynch and her kill bill outfit would work better

I think Kyle O' Reilly will get a run with the NXT Championship. He was the star of that Ladder war.

[Droford]

They could have La Luchadora #1 (Becky Lynch) vs La Luchadora #2 (Alexa Bliss)

Nothing major no... that's why I think they will do it.

[Droford]

If Lesnar makes it a 3 way I could see Corbin winning because then no dq and he could have help.

[Volare]

I wonder what Brock eats while he's in the desert...

[Savio]

Camel or Camel Spiders probably

[Jordan]

Goldberg was great on Smackdown! I wish he'd have gone to AEW and had matches with Jericho and Cody though.

[slik]

Kyle O is my favorite person in UE (more than Adam Cole bay bay)

[slik]

I predict Grandpaberg defeats Eldertaker.


Then they have a rematch at "Possibly better and even bigger than SuperShowdown" WrestleMania: Pirates Ahoy next year.

[#1-norm-fan]

I think Taker will win and Goldberg will be gone again until the next Saudi show when they need him for star power and he gets a win over Rusev or some other middle of the pack guy.

[slik]

Taker had 'the upper hand' on SD so it makes me think via classic WWE booking he is eating a pinfall.

I also predict Brock cashes in on Kofi and Corbin/Brock both leave Jedda as champions.

[Evil Vito]

Jinder Mahal is once again the 24/7 champion!

I’m done with Raw if Corbin walks out as champ.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

He's their top full-time heel when it comes to generating heat.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

He's their top full-time heel when it comes to generating heat.

good heels don't make you turn off the t.v.

When generating “go away” heat, sure.

Goddamnit, I didn't see someone already posted this.

Somebody posted it almost the same time Guru did on a facebook group I'm in. I had to double check to see if they weren't the same person.

[Danny Electric]

Why Alexa vs Natalya? Odd choice.

Not sure on Alexa but guessing with Nattie it’s because she’s pretty covered up in what she wears anyway. Wasn’t the original plan to have her against Nia Jax as well, saying as she’s pretty covered up in what she wears too.

[Danny Electric]

Nattie's outfit probably is closest to already being full body

Sorry didn’t read your post 🙂
