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.

:y:

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

What do you think heat is and what is it used for?

Brock's hands tho...

Schwimmer is a pretty big guy, wonder if he will become very hand conscious now.

[Evil Vito]

Fitting feud since I wish Brock would go on a break.

I think this deserves some appreciation.

Why does David Schwimmer look more legit against Brock than most of the roster?

Pretty much all of the remaining talent from the CWC also have their contracts expiring within that time frame so if WWE wants to end the 205 Live brand, that is going to be the time to do so.

Brand's future won't be on FOX when Smackdown moves since the network hasn't been interested in buying a 3rd hour of programming from WWE besides the rumored new studio-based show.

[Lock Jaw]

Because going out there and half-assing your job is going to help endear you to your current employer, or demonstrate a good attitude to potential future employers.

[GD]

Would the 205 crew make more dough on the independent circuit?

[Emperor Smeat]

Would the 205 crew make more dough on the independent circuit?

Probably but likely would need to work a lot more than they are currently doing in WWE.

Not sure if its changed but initially they were only being paid for appearances on 205 Live and RAW. The division wasn't working on house shows besides the experimental tour that ended in failure.

Prior to NXT contracts getting boosts in money, it used to go main roster > 205 Live > NXT for money. Not sure if 205 Live contracts are still higher in value since current NXT contracts are around $80K on average.

If he's trying to get fired, I'm sure he will have very little issues finding future work. Even tho it's a really bad look on his part.

You’re not wrong, but everyone has a limit to how much they can put up with at a job they’re miserable at.

They've not even given him a chance on the main roster. Booked him like a joke as soon as he was called up and it stayed that way for months.

If the company doesn't care, why should he?

Because your possible next employer might be watching and it's not a good look.

EC3 sucks

He really does.

But it’s also funny that when they brought him back, they decided to use his TNA name. Basically acknowledging that he’s known more for his TNA run than his WWE run. That’s pretty fucking sad.

Blows my mind that it's been 3 years since then.

Blows my mind that it's been 3 years since then.

Complete and utter failure. I hope that most of those guys do not resign with WWE.

[Droford]

It just occurred to me that the next step in 24/7 title shenanigans is for a celebrity or sports figure etc to win it.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

That EC3 entrance is clearly on purpose. Come on, guys. Don’t be silly. He’s been doing the disinterested bit for a few weeks now. Main Event isn’t live. They wouldn’t air that entrance on the show unless that was what he was supposed to do.

Be better.

[Rammsteinmad]

That EC3 thing could easily be a work though. It's not like we haven't seen the whole "wrestler keeps losing falls into a slump" angle before.

[Rammsteinmad]

But yeah realistically he probably wants out like approximately half of the roster right now.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I’m saying it’s 100% a work. They’re probably trying to get him fans out of pity. They’ve done it before.

[Emperor Smeat]

Not sure about WCW but WWE had the routine habit of handing out a ton of signs for the crowd to hold up during their shows in the Attitude Era.

A good possibility some of those signs shown off in that Twitter account were from WWE themselves.

I went to Thunder in 2000, they didn't hand out any signs then. That would have probably been the era they would have done it too.

[Bad News Gertner]

WCW was doing it around 95/96 when Bischoff was really hammering the WWF on commentary. He'd make comments on signs that were clearly planted.

[Mr. Nerfect]

A BLOCK
Booker T

Zack Ryder

A Block miles and miles better than B Block. RIP Jinny after Otis breaks her in half.

Though I did pop for Hawkins and Ryder being drawn to the same block.

I'm going to be an ass and book it:

* The male Superstars all make a pact that they are not going to fight the women, except for Ronda Rousey, because she's Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch because she kicks up a stink when they don't. Shane, Velveteen Dream and Road Dogg just fight the women, because they don't give a fuck. But the male wrestlers who don't wrestle the women agree to go to a draw, with 1 point a piece, with both the women and men agreeing to this getting 4 points.

BLOCK A:

* Booker T loses to Finn Balor, Johnny Gargano and Velveteen Dream. He beats Road Dogg and Pete Dunne (his one win over a current wrestler). He splits points with Sasha, Taynara, Lacey and Nikki to finish on 8 points.

* Finn Balor beats Booker T, Johnny Gargano, Road Dogg and Pete Dunne, with the splits taking him up to 12.

* Johnny Gargano beats Booker T, Pete Dunne and Velveteen Dream, with the splits taking him up to 10.

* Lacey Evans splits with Booker, Balor, Gargano and Dunne. She beats Taynara and finishes with 6 points.

* Nikki Cross gets the 4 points and then beats Lacey, Taynara and Sasha to get 10 points.

* Sasha Banks beats Lacey and Taynara, and also manages to squeak one out from Road Dogg when Snoop Dogg helps her out finishing on 10 points.

* Taynara loses all her matches but gets 4 points.

* Road Dogg loses to all the male talent, but beats all the women except for Sasha. This means he finishes on 6. His emphasized issues are with the women for being an Attitude era piece of shit and with Booker T, who is upset that a veteran would be so shitty.

* Velveteen Dream beats everyone except Johnny Gargano and Pete Dunne, meaning he finishes Block A as clear winner with 14 points.

* Pete Dunne loses to Booker T, Balor and Gargano, but gets the 4 points and beats Road Dogg and Velveteen Dream to finish on 6, but he does beat the winner of the block.

BLOCK B:

* Everyone beats Enzo Amore. who finishes on 0 points.

* Ali loses to Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey and R-Truth (through deceptive means), but still finishes with 12 points.

* Becky Lynch beats Ali, Curt Hawkins, Enzo Amore, Jinny, Shane McMahon, R-Truth and Zack Ryder to finish on 14 points, without any handout.

* Ronda Rousey beats Ali, Becky Lynch, Curt Hawkins, Enzo Amore, R-Truth, Zack Ryder, Otis and Jinny to finish on 16 points. She loses to Shane McMahon after Shane suffers an embarrassing loss to Becky and then appoints Scott Armstrong as the referee for this match so he can beat Ronda.

* Curt Hawkins beats Jinny, Zack Ryder and Enzo Amore, as well as the shocker being Shane McMahon, which gives him 8 points, which is impressively high for him.

* Jinny gets 2 points by beating Enzo Amore.

* R-Truth beats Ali, Enzo Amore, Jinny, Otis and Zack Ryder, which finishes him on 10 points.

* Otis beats Enzo, Jinny, Hawkins, Ryder and Becky to finish on 10 points.

* Zack Ryder loses to everyone except Enzo and Jinny for 4 points.

* Shane loses to Ali, Becky and Hawkins. He uses a crooked referee to beat Ronda and Otis. He finishes on 12 points.

FINALS:

* Velveteen Dream beats Ronda Rousey.

Man, that would suck.

I got R.Truth vs Ronda... and since that pic of Truth has the 24/7 Title, it is safe to assume it is on the line.

Rousey wins. Celebrates with the rest of the MMA Horsewomen, before she gets suckered by Baszey-basz. Shayna gets long enough to pose with both championships, hint that maybe she can meet "Becky Two-Belts" and leave that match as "Shayna Four-Belts"... then gets cut off and attacked by the other two Horsewomen, who fight over who will pin Shanya. Truth sneaks a pin in, and leaves as champ again.

Also the booking of their Women's division has slowly become main roster quality bad in terms of direction. The recent set of tapings doing nothing to resolve that problem. Only difference is them not totally ignoring the division nor shoving certain stars down the throats of crowds like Vince & Creative do.

Was just thinking about what Disney+ is going to mean for the WWE Network come November. It's set to cost $6.99, which is cheaper than the WWE Network and it will have a lot better and more varied entertainment. I'm fairly certain that it's going to take a massive slice of the OTT subscription model market, which means that other services might be on the chopping block when it comes to considering the monthly entertainment budget. I doubt it's Netflix that is going to take most of the cuts.

[slik]

I can't picture Disney + having any effect on the WWE Network what-so-ever.

TIL the infamous Michael Cole/Heidenreich moment happened because Vince had a dream about Michael Cole being raped

You must be one of those people that think childless adults who go to Disney are ruining it for the children by making them wait in longer lines.

Non sequitor - I was talking to a dad at my kid's soccer practice. He paid a lady $1,000 at Disney and she got them unlimited fast passes, skipped all lines, and mapped out each ride to "maximize" their time in the park.

[Droford]

I can't picture Disney + having any effect on the WWE Network what-so-ever.

Apples and Oranges.

Even if Disey bundles ESPN+ and Hulu with it? And WWE gets dropped from Hulu because Fox owns it (or at least drops RAW)

Also Disney Bought the company (BamTech) that ran WWE Network up until this January to help run Disney+/ESPN+ so in a way it's already affected WWE Network by causing them to hire a new company to run it (Endeavor Streaming)

[slik]

Disney is in the $$$ biz and unless WWE performs poorly on HULU, which Disney is now the majority owner of, I doubt they'd care.

No they ruin it for children by trying to touch their arses

[Seanny One Ball]

It's like an adult trying to swim in the kids only sessions.

There is no savoury reason.

I go to the movies by myself all the time, from Rated R to Pixar

[slik]

Last Disney movie I saw by myself was Disney's PENGUINS

very cute movie

They probably don't get the rights for RAW on Hulu since it's Universal / Concast
NBC is launching their own service next year. So in order to watch RAW/SD and PPVs without cable you'd need 3 separate subscriptions (Hulu assuming they stream SD still, NBCs thing for RAW and WWE Network) Suddenly your probably at close to $30 a month to watch WWE and don't have Netflix even.

Vince should do an arm sports entertainment show

[Droford]

Just realized that Shane beat Dolph for Best in the World at Crown Jewel soif Dolph were to win the WWE Championship there's a built in program with him and Shane (You might call yourself BITW Cause you beat me back then but you can't beat me now)

[Fignuts]

They both just recently turned heel.

[Droford]

They both just recently turned heel.

And if came out in the middle of Shane McMahon Appreciative Night #51 and said that it'd be a insta face turn

[Fignuts]

Turning someone heel just to instantly turn him face is fucking awful.

Never mind the fact that people generally don’t care about Ziggler anymore.

[Droford]

It wouldnt be instant. Dolph and Kofi would have a rematch in july and the Dolph vs Shane at Summerslam

lol Backlund wins wwf championship.

82’ must have been a slow year for disgusting promotional tactics.

Wait... why was Backlund as champion considered a “disgusting promotional tactic”?

[Seanny One Ball]

Gertner needs to explain that list to me. The first two in particular.

According to the Observer, Dana Warrior supposedly has been very hands-on with Lacey Evans current push in WWE to the point Meltzer thinks Lacey is Dana's "pet project" in Creative.

Also Vince and Kevin Dunn supposedly were not in charge of WWE's tv shows this week.

I don’t know if this week was a first, but Vince McMahon, Stephanie, HHH and Kevin Dunn all didn’t come to the California tapings ... Vince had some corporate items that he felt he needed to take care of, and Kevin Dunn isn’t coming to television when Vince isn’t there. Ed Koskey was running around like crazy at Raw kind of in control. Dana Warrior was there working hands on with Lacey Evans. I don’t know that Evans is a Warrior project but she does work heavily with Evans on her promos

[Bad News Gertner]

Wait... why was Backlund as champion considered a “disgusting promotional tactic”?


Meltzer HATED Backlund as champ.

Superstar Graham did an angle in late 82 where he destroyed Backlund's title on T.V and Backlund cried like when Nancy Kerrigan got her kneecap smashed. Its cringeworthy.

I get that the idea is to put the significance and symbolism of the belt over, but reacting so angrily makes no sense. Realistically, the champ would be a bit pissed but they could just get a new one.

Was reading that article and took a glance at the side articles and noticed Ryan Clark's name as one of the authors.

Wonder if he's the same Ryan Clark that used to write for TPWW's Frontpage.

[owenbrown]

Curt Hennig destroying Hulk Hogan's WWF title is probably the most famous example of that.

[Tom Guycott]

I get that the idea is to put the significance and symbolism of the belt over, but reacting so angrily makes no sense. Realistically, the champ would be a bit pissed but they could just get a new one.

Kinda. But you could say the same thing about vehicle destruction. "Look at my beautiful *personal* limousine! Oh no, don't touch it with that bat..." The guy wouldn't go. "You destroyed it for nothing, I'll just buy another one." The belt is something they not only fought for, but it is theirs (neverminding the deposit practices like the one that allowed Ric Flair to essentially walk off with the WCW Championship because of the money behind it)

I mean, now, fans in the stands shell out money for belts that look better than one an actual promotion might have... but back then, on top of the prestige, there used to be a little more emphasis on how much the titles meant, but also on how much they COST!

[Savio]

Wouldn't the company just have to pay for it though? Like if Brock came back to the UFC and destroyed Jon Jones title it's not like Jon would have to pay.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wouldn't the company just have to pay for it though? Like if Brock came back to the UFC and destroyed Jon Jones title it's not like Jon would have to pay.

Probably depends on the terms if WWE had a similar deposit system like NWA and WCW.

[#1-norm-fan]

Curt Hennig destroying Hulk Hogan's WWF title is probably the most famous example of that.

Barry Windham also smashed Dustin Rhodes’ US title on a WCW Saturday Night episode back in the early 90s. I’m sure there are more instances. I remember thinking recently about it being done oddly often.

[Bad News Gertner]

Greg Valentine destroyed the IC title after Tito won it

[Damian Rey 2.0]

If anyone destroyed the current WWE belts people would prob cheer.

[#1-norm-fan]

Just came back to post about Valentine doing it.

Also, Nikita Koloff destroyed the US Title like 2 years before Windham did it.

[Droford]

If anyone destroyed the current WWE belts people would prob cheer.

I thought maybe someone would throw Daniel Bryan's in a wood chipper

[Tom Guycott]

Seemed like an obvious route. Or burning it. Or at least a chainsaw.

Sadly, even though it was supposed to be an instrument of heat, I really liked the hemp and wood belt better than the actual gold and leather.

[Emperor Smeat]

Gaming website Giantbomb just held a final segment for their series of nightly E3 shows that had Kenny Omega and Xavier Woods as the guests.

They played a comedy bit where neither were on the screen at the same time and oblivious to the other being in the same room via shenanigans. Then after Woods left for the last time, it turned into a real interview with Omega discussing games and hyping up both AEW and their upcoming shows.

Segment before had Woods with a bunch of other guests discussing E3 games and weird stuff.

I can't get the video that embed but lol

[Jordan]

Backlund looks like he snapped into 94 Backlund there which would have actually been really cool. If the destruction of the belt was a slow turn for him to his insanity character. But we are better off without Bob I can't stand his work tbh, I find him unbearably corny and fake.

This is great. Hogan's first title defense after winning against the Iron Sheik. Hogan vs Masked Superstar, enjoy the birth of WWE.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

man, I fucking love Masked Superstar.

[Bad News Gertner]

1984 WWF is so fucking great. My favourite year of the company. Hogan was amazing then. Such a great collection of heels for Hogan to fight. I can't recommend it enough.

[Fignuts]

Two years before he died, Misawa wrote a letter intended to be sent, in case he died in the ring, to his last opponent. It says something like:

''I'm sure you trusted me, and were doing your best, and I betrayed that trust. I'm really sorry.
Still, I want you to continue wrestling. It may be painful, but I want you to continue.''

Akitoshi Saito decided to keep going after getting this letter, and to this day he packs it in his bag for every show on every tour.

Maybe it wasn't a wise idea after all to run a PPV 2 weeks after their Saudi show and be extra lazy with the card's big matches.

Same for wasting one of those two weeks on nothing of note for card building purposes.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I can't picture Disney + having any effect on the WWE Network what-so-ever.

Apples and Oranges.

Really? So many people I know toss up between which streaming services they are going to get. They bundle all that shit together. Things like Spotify and even gym memberships come into the equation too. I know quite a few people that have given up Stan (probably Australia's closest thing to a Netflix alternative) just because they want to get back into the gym. You wouldn't equate the gym with re-runs of Friends, but some people make that choice.

I mean, when I canceled my WWE Network, I was definitely thinking about "I'd be happier subscribing to Disney+ when it comes out... or even Amazon Prime"

I wasn't thinking about it when I cancelled my WWE Network, because I cancelled that because they made Jinder Mahal champ (and I wasn't even watching old PPVs anymore), but if I had to choose between getting, say, New Japan World and Disney+, I'm definitely going to be thinking about how I want to spend my leisure time in front of screens.

There's something off about adult men that watch Disney alone and it's a stigma we should all support.

Um, dude, there's going to be a lot more on there than animated stuff (and a lot of that shit is objectively fucking great film-making anyway). You're going to have Nat Geo, Marvel, Star Wars and all the properties they own. I'm actually mainly going to be getting it for classic Simpsons.

I go to the movies by myself all the time, from Rated R to Pixar

I often prefer it. There isn't that pressure to talk about what you've just seen, and you can go grab a bite to eat and do that post-film processing.

Any good streaming sites for PPVs these days? Wouldn't mind having one book marked for the "big 4" plus the AEW shows.

[Seanny One Ball]

Watching Bill Dundee in Memphis. I don't think I've ever seen his work before but he's like a little Bob Holly or something. Just knocking fuck out of people for real. Pretty proud he's a Scotsman. I like him, he's tiny.

He fights like Bob Holly but has the body type of and similar mannerisms to Kevin Sullivan.

[Bad News Gertner]

Perfectly fit the Memphis style of wrestling. They didn't have matches, they had fights.

[Seanny One Ball]

I like Buddy Landel too but I kind of liked him already from Smokey Mountain. He's savage putting on that figure four, easily my favourite figure four ever. Nobody cranks it like that, they all strain their chest and neck backwards. He leans in and cranks the legs like he's having a great time.

[Seanny One Ball]

Bill Dundee has a mad accent. It's pretty cool though because he just goes with it and says daddyo and hit the road Jack and all of that great stuff.

I like Buddy Landel too but I kind of liked him already from Smokey Mountain. He's savage putting on that figure four, easily my favourite figure four ever. Nobody cranks it like that, they all strain their chest and neck backwards. He leans in and cranks the legs like he's having a great time.

Buddy's demons cost him a lot during his career.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Buddy Landel is one of my favorite wrestlers.

Nah you can kinda make out the split screen. Cameras back then just didn’t pick up the light from the tv very well.

The scary part for ROH is they could be looking at a similar situation happening around 6 months from now since Rush, Bandido, and Cobb only signed 1 year deals with ROH. In Bandido and Cobb's cases, they only signed in order to get their foot in NJPW for their career's future.

ROH damaged themselves badly with the shitshow of a performance from their side of the G1 Supercard show when that should have been a huge spark for the company's momentum afterwards.

G1 in Dallas not selling tix well either currently, I wanted to go to this show but I can't make it work

I was trying to find the NXT UK thread to post about this but it seems the threads disappear after a period of time.

The 6 man Tag Main Event between British Strongstyle and Imperium was pretty damn good.

Yeah. Pretty good Daga/Tessa vs Taya/Laredo Kid match.

Now Trios match featuring Killer Kross, Aerostar, 2 clowns, and a guy in a Wolfpack Sting mask.

Clown gimmicks in Mexico are super weird.

Aerostar just jumped off the lighting rig and may be dead.

Had to explain to some idiot on Facebook why I hated Shane's punches... on the WWE page. Also, I'm a Top Fan on WWE's Facebook.

1984 WWF is so fucking great. My favourite year of the company. Hogan was amazing then. Such a great collection of heels for Hogan to fight. I can't recommend it enough.

I know that why I I've been going through it, based off all your recommendations.

The left half of the arena not in that image will be tarped off (which is why I didn't worry about fitting it in the image)...will just be WWE production on that side

[Evil Vito]

With the G1 blocks announced, was just wondering what a proposed WWE G1 field would look like if I was given the book and the directive of putting together the best possible month-long wrestling tournament:

Adam Cole (NXT Champion)
Daniel Bryan (SmackDown Tag Team Champion)
Finn Balor (Intercontinental Champion)
Kofi Kingston (WWE Champion)
Samoa Joe (United States Champion)
Seth Rollins (Universal Champion)
Tony Nese (Cruiserweight Champion)
Velveteen Dream (North American Champion)
WALTER (NXT UK Champion)
AJ Styles
Aleister Black
Ali
Andrade
Apollo Crews
Cesaro
Dolph Ziggler
Kevin Owens
Ricochet
Sami Zayn
Shinsuke Nakamura

All of the singles champions in the company are rewarded with entries, with the exception of R-Truth because of the inevitability of his matches being interrupted due to the 24/7 title, so Bryan gets his champion spot instead.

Yes you technically could have an even better in-ring tourney by including more NXT people, but you're going to need some guys to finish at the bottom of the block and I'd rather keep the few NXT people in this strong. So that'll give a guy like Crews who is a good wrestler but never gets to show it a chance to work some fun matches even though he'll probably go 1-8 or something.

Might be too many champions in this, some of them are going to have to lose. But if they're mostly losing to each other it's not all that bad. Lone exception to this being Nese, he'd probably lose to most people....could replace him with Buddy Murphy or something if he's still alive.

Anyway, the effectiveness of this tourney would be lost in modern WWE because the show is already just filled with random singles matches. But there'd be some sweet first time match potential in here. Would be particularly keen to see WALTER chop the shit out of people.

[Bad News Gertner]

I know that why I I've been going through it, based off all your recommendations.

I've got all the 84 MSG and Spectrum shows if you're missing any

[Emperor Smeat]

Seems WWE might be changing plans in regards to having an NXT branch in Latin America.

Instead of having Chile as the base and using it as a launchpad into the tougher Mexican scene, they might be jumping right into Mexico from the start.

Also seems The Crash is going to be their affiliated promotion in Mexico since WWE are sending Rey Mysterio and Angel Garza (Garza Jr) to an upcoming event for The Crash.
