So many things you read/hear on Twitter about Impact, MLW not paying wrestlers very well...ROH not selling tix well now....no idea what NWA is doing...
Sort of feels sometimes like all the above could go out of business, good show or not, out of nowhere.
Could see Sinclair instantly turning on ROH the second it doesn't make $ for them
In a weird way WWE/AEW could kill off anything other than indy-indys it feels like...

Outside of some exceptions, Sinclair barely funds ROH to begin with. Gives them just enough to be above operatable but not enough to actually expand into a bigger company.
ROH's biggest value to Sinclair is being a consistent and very cheap provider of weekly live content for the network. Same reason why Anthem hesitates on actually selling Impact and why USA Network gave up on finding a potential replacement show for RAW.

Watching Memphis again. There is a spectacularly brutal tag match between Buddy Landel/Bill Dundee Versus a local team of Jim Jameson and David Haskins in 1986.
I think there are two moves, Landel Dropkick and a Dundee press slam. The rest of the match is just an endless barrage of what look like legitimate punches mixed in with some horribly stiff kicks, forearms and elbows.
You have to see this, at one point the jobber Haskins just starts gobbing blood out of his mouth then they drag him up to the commentary table and you can see his face is lumped up beyond belief.
The guy sells it like he has just had the shit kicked out of him because he clearly really has.
You should see this thing, it's on Prime. Best of CWA 1986 Volume 4 at around the 1 hour 10 minute mark.
Just brutal.

I've got all the 84 MSG and Spectrum shows if you're missing any
I've been watching stuff from the Network. Did you get them all via torrent or is there another site you used? Was All Start Wrestling the only TV show they had during this era? I started watching I think it was in 92 where Snuka debuted, Ventura was new, Valentine wanting Pedro bad... pretty cool stuff. So is it all about the Spectrum and Garden or is there another show? Also man would I love to see all of the good stuff minus all the Johnny Rodz matches. Do you know of any long form edits available?

1. They had a few shows. The main shows were Championship Wrestling and All Star Wrestling. They also had shows like Maple Leaf Wrestling which were Canadian Specific and had to be shot in Brantford Ontario (began in late 84), Wrestling at the Chase in St.Louis (Very early 84. Hogan's first WWF match in his return) and later World Championship Wrestling on TBS (Black Saturday). Then you had Prime Time Wrestling and TNT.
2. I've got the shows a bunch of different ways: people sending me stuff, torrents, stuff I've copied off youtube.
3. NESN didnt start airing Boston show till 85 which I have a bunch of. I have a few Meadowlands shows from 84 as well as various house from all over the place
4. All the shows I have are full house shows. I can send you them.
5. Johnny Rodz rules.

Saudis want their next event held on a Friday but the problem is that takes place after WWE's FOX deal starts so WWE either has to go with split crews or potentially upset the Saudis by locking Fridays out for all future events.

At best, WWE's annual Youtube revenue is likely less than 3% of WWE's annual gross revenues, and will only decrease as a % overall with the new upcoming TV deals.
You could obviously emphasize that in any given year without Youtube revenues, in that same year and/or some future year(s), WWE would potentially have less annual profit or perhaps even a net annual loss. You could even focus on the fact that it's growing annually at a relatively higher rate than other revenue streams, increasing at an annual rate of at best 1% but likely less than 1% of WWE's total annual revenue going forward.
However, any company that is building its core product(s) around or relying on a revenue stream that is that small of a portion (3% or less) of its overall revenue, even if it's growing year over year (at best) at 1% of total revenues, especially at the potential expense or downfall of other larger proportional annual revenue streams, isn't necessarily looking at the big picture and is probably being incredibly mismanaged overall or in many other key areas.

Really? I've always thought they were rather small. It wasn't as noticeable when they were in NXT because there weren't as many huge guys there to compare them to but once they debuted on the main roster it became glaring. They are way more often than not the smallest guys in the ring when they are in it.

Sepholio
06-23-2019, 08:51 AM
They've had really small eventers though. Some of them great wrestlers. But I always run into the problem of not being able to find their work believable when they go against the bigs. Daniel Bryan vs Brock Lesnar for example. Rey Mysterio vs Big Show back in the day. It doesn't work for me because I know the reality is is that one clean shot from the big man in those matches completely mauls the little guy yet here this little guy is constantly kicking out of shit that should kill him.
It's hard. There has to be some level of realism now that we're past the whole suspension of disbelief phase.
This is a weird thing to try and articulate while simultaneously saying that I love a lot of the smaller guys and their work. Because I find them to be better than the vast majority of the bigs. But I'd pick the bigs almost every time in an actual fight and that realism factor has to play some role.
Sepholio
06-23-2019, 08:53 AM
Also The Revival have a bigger issue than just being small...they are small and work a more "power" style that you usually only see bigs working. That comes off fine when they are working with people who are similar size to them....but you put them in the ring with some hosses and that style just does not translate from them.
Evil Vito
06-23-2019, 09:06 AM
If I cared about “believability” of small guys fighting big guys, I wouldn’t watch wrestling. I’d watch MMA where everybody is strictly segmented by weight class.
Evil Vito
06-23-2019, 09:07 AM
Also for what it’s worth, in no way does the bigger guy always win in a real fight. Some dudes have a size advantage but no clue what to do with it.
Sepholio
06-23-2019, 09:36 AM
Yeah but we aren't talking about guys who don't know what to do with their size are we? You may not like them as performers, but they are all well trained at this point and not some huge behemoth on the street that's never done anything physical. You really telling me you'd buy Dash against Braun for example?
Sounds like you may not care about believability because you still manage some amount of suspension of disbelief over it somehow.
Sepholio
06-23-2019, 09:43 AM
Also on a side note I feel like the reason Corbin is now in the ME isn't because of his size but because of how much they have been able to make everyone hate him. Like it or not he has heat not seen in YEARS. It doesn't matter if it's legit heat, X-Pac heat, or FU heat, it's a lot of heat. They can use the fuck out of him right now. Corbin will go away when people stop reacting to him.
Also he's not nearly as bad as a lot of people here want to make him seem. He's not great or anything, be he's serviceable and can put on a good match sometimes.
Sepholio
06-23-2019, 09:48 AM
Also I'm not suggesting strict weight classes. There is just a limit to size differential to me, and when you pass that limit it doesn't come off as "legit". I've no problem with someone 5'10" working someone say John Cena's size (6'4" or 6'5" I think and like 235-240lbs?) and putting up a good fight and winning. I'm not buying that same guy against a 6'8" super heavy, like Brock, Lashley, Braun, Drew or Roman.

Agree to disagree with it not working for them, but I will say you're touching on a different problem. Nobody really works psychologically like a type anymore. Big men go flying everywhere. Small guys brawl. Everyone goes up the ropes, and half of everyone uses a submission hold. Everyone is "deceptively" something for their size. Similar to the adage of having nothing but 7ft guys means you have no giants, if everyone does everything, one guy doing it more doesn't matter. Part of Rey Rey's legend is how much he dove. Now, everyone dives.
With the Revival specifically, I have no probelm with them working a "power" style. I have more problem with them being yet another team who does so. Even if they're up against AoP, because taller and fatter doesn't automatically mean stronger.

#Dive.
Also, it made me think of that Carpentier video, and how much of what he did is no different from what much of the Indy guys do now. Only difference is, back then, no one else was doing it, so that made him special. Now, everyone does it, so who gives a shit?
Also I'm not suggesting strict weight classes. There is just a limit to size differential to me, and when you pass that limit it doesn't come off as "legit".

Mike Tyson and Kurt Angle are 5'10. I think there needs to be a distinction between regular small guys and guys of average to below average height who have that NFL running back "brick shit house" sort of body type who look like they could plow through just about anyone.
#1-norm-fan
06-24-2019, 01:14 AM
Yeah. Angle also had the advantage that he COULD legitimately beat guys much taller than him so it wouldn’t be so hard to suspend disbelief. I agree with Seph’s general point but I think it’s more the overall look and presentation than just the height that ruins it for me.
Wasn't Benoit even shorter?

According to the Observer, Vince's newest plan to fix WWE's ratings woes is to no longer have any wrestling go on during commercial breaks (at least for RAW). Last week's Best 2-out-of-3 and elimination matches on RAW and Smackdown was them testing out this idea.
According to PWI, WWE is also considering the idea of a round system for matches similar to classic European style wrestling. Similar idea when it comes to handling match breaks for commercials.
Both plans revolve around the idea of making WWE shows more sports-like without realizing the actual differences between wrestling shows and sports games. Also likely won't result in WWE actually fixing their deep-seated booking issues.

I made this prediction somewhere else too. The pairing of Seth and Becky is way too convenient. Triple H’s stuff has got to be a priority. It might happen before Mania, maybe even at the Saudi show, but I think they are going to do it.
While I thought that wouldn’t go back to this well, I’m now leaning towards them doing Brock vs. Roman at Mania too. Thought it would be like first FOX SmackDown, but with Vince not changing anything serious, I can see that and the mixed tag at Mania.
I could see Shane vs HHH being an early contender for a WM match too tbh

That could be coming too. Keep the McMahon stuff isolated as best you can. But they like more of it, not less, which is probably why it hasn’t happened.

Oh fucking Christ. When I originally read the report I thought that meant matches would actually start and finish before they went to commercial. Not that they would literally stop the match and have dark ring with ads playing on the tron for the live audience during the commercial.
Holy shit, Vince has lost his damn mind and no one around him has the balls to tell him or do anything about it. I'm not sure which is worse or more pathetic.

Apparently the reason for Baron Corbin's big push in WWE is due to Vince thinking women fans find him to be really attractive and "swoon" over him.
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer mentioned Rusev’s deal with WWE is up soon and he asked for a leave of absence from the company.
On that same show, Meltzer also indicated the reason Baron Corbin is getting pushed the way he is is that Vince McMahon thinks women swoon over guys like him.

EVOLVE's upcoming 10th anniversary event was announced to be the first indies event to air live on the WWE Network.
Besides WWE honoring EVOLVE's influence on the company's roster, they are also using the event to directly compete against AEW's upcoming Fight for Fallen event and similar to when NXT was used to compete against ROH shows.
WWE today announced that the EVOLVE 10th Anniversary event will broadcast live from Philadelphia's 2300 Arena live on the WWE Network the night before WWE Extreme Rules. The event will become the first independent wrestling event to air live on the Network.
EVOLVE was founded by Sal Hamaoui and WWE NXT Creative team member Gabe Sapolsky, holding its first event in January 2010 in Rahway, NJ. WWE has been working on a handshake agreement with EVOLVE for several years, finally officially signing a contract to put their relationship in writing several months ago.
“EVOLVE was the birthplace for many current WWE and NXT Superstars, so it is only fitting that their 10th Anniversary Celebration will be showcased live on WWE Network,” said Paul “Triple H” Levesque, WWE Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events & Creative, said in an official press release supporting the event (see below).
The timing of the EVOLVE broadcast would put it head to head with AEW's Fight for the Fallen, which will air live on Bleacher Report Live on Saturday 7/13 as well.

Turns out Tozawa isn't leaving which could mean the rumored expiration dates for the other CWC guys are off by a considerable amount.
All depends if they recently signed new deals that haven't been announced yet or if their contracts were converted over into main roster ones despite the status of the division and 205 Live in general. The initial contracts they signed were for 3 years in length which would start expiring this summer.

Yikes. Last year's crowd was around 2500 for some comparisons. Even the post-PPV TV taping the next night had a bigger crowd than what this year's event could end up with.
Worst is if it follows a similar drop to last year's PPV and TV taping, could be looking at a crowd in the 200-300 range for the TV taping the following night. Haven't checked anything about that taping so no clue if its actually trending towards being potentially that bad.

Apparently a recent indie event in Indiana managed to trigger a health scare from authorities due to the risk that HIV and/or Hepatitis C might have been spread into the crowd from wrestlers who got busted open during the show.
If you attended an event on Sunday, June 23, 2019 at 1445 South Street New Albany IN, called Welcome to the Wreckroom Pro Wrestling event and were exposed to blood or bodily fluids at the scene of the wrestling event, you are highly encouraged to contact the Floyd County Health Department at 1917 Bono Rd, New Albany, Indiana, 812-948-4726, to be tested for HIV and HEP C.
"It's been reported that there was a lot of bloodshed at the event by numerous people, and that is why we're taking precautions to test people," said Charlotte Bass, administrator of the Floyd County Health Department.
Pro Wrestling - Trainwreck produced the event. Co-promoter John Glenn said he believes the health department is calling for the testing as a precaution. He said none of his wrestlers were positive for any blood-borne pathogens. He said he thoroughly made sure all of their paperwork was in order before the Sunday event.
Glenn said the most severe injury occurred during a maneuver in which a wrestler was slammed through a door with a glass pane. The wrestler’s buttocks were supposed to shield the blow, but instead, his upper body was lacerated. The performer is out of the hospital and ready to wrestle again, Glenn said.
However, Glenn said his company has suspended wrestling operations in New Albany after the incident.

Smackdown superstar Roman Reigns hasn't been on Smackdown in almost a month now
https://www.redditstatic.com/desktop2x/img/renderTimingPixel.png
(Note: this doesn't include dark matches)
Ever since the advent of the Wild Card rule on the May 6 edition of RAW, Roman has appeared on RAW in 7 of the last 8 shows; compared to being on 4 of the last 8 episodes of SD Live. Roman's last appearance on SD Live was on June 3, and he hasn't had a televised match on SD since May 28.
Some other notable stats since the start of the wild card on May 6
-SD's Kofi Kingston has appeared on every episode of SD Live, and has appeared on RAW on 5 of the last 8 shows. He's also had a TV match the last six weeks in a row.
-Shane McMahon has appeared on literally every single episode of both RAW and SD since the Wild Card rule started. (Upon going through the roster pages, I just realized that Shane's listed as both a SD and RAW superstar now. Still crazy though lol)

lol that gimmick killed Corbin before he even started because the crowd started to boo when it took him longer than 10 seconds to win a match

NBA free agency is super "over" within the sports world, nearly half the league hit free agency on the same day yesterday.
I feel like if they ever kill the wild card rule and go back to enforcing the brand split, they should abandon the annual draft/"shake up" in favor of free agency. For like a month after Mania, it's open season for GMs to try to sign away talent, sign people from NXT/205, etc. and the company could put out Twitter updates on who signed where.
That way Heyman and Bischoff to talk out what programs they want to run and lock in their rosters for the upcoming year but afterwards, that's fucking it. No wild card bullshit, the rosters stay in place until the next year's Mania.

That would be better than the half-assed way they handled free agency with Cena, the Bellas, and a couple of others.
Either it was something WWE suddenly claimed existed and only for those few people or just a lazy excuse to have someone suddenly appear on a new brand with no fanfare after being away for a while.

I like the idea but guys would have to be locked in for more than a yr. Otherwise making it an annual switch would just re shake the rosters too often.
I'd love for them to adopt the idea of signing guys who are injured, underperforming, or just not being used as a storyline gimmick.
For instance, when Rollins was coming back from knee surgery, could run with the idea that he's a free agent after mania, and there's questions about his health. He gets a 1 yr deal from one of the brands as a pillow contact to rebuild his own value. You (ideally) book him strong for the whole year and hype up his impending free agency with his home brand trying to extend his contract and the other brand identifying that they want him as their marquee free agent signing.
The wwe would some how fuck this up but it's a cool conceptto think about.

Apparently Micheal Elgin is dealing with online backlash again and its related to the same sexual harassment allegations and lawsuit that got him in hot water with NJPW and the indies the first time around.
Being speculated that Impact officials told him to clean up his baggage and deal with the backlash now in order to lessen the backlash the company will likely be getting following this Sunday's Slammiversary based on current plans.
Problem was the level of backlash was soo bad that Elgin quickly deleted his tweets and made things a lot worse for Impact PR-wise heading into the show now.

They signed him and pushed him knowing this stuff was out there. This is all on Impact.

Is anyone else annoyed by the way they’re handling no wrestling during commercial breaks? It bothers me more than the wild card rule. Hope they eliminate it or the brand split in the upcoming weeks.

Not sure yet. If they continue to do 2 of 3 falls matches it'll get tiresome quickly.
What about a 7 falls match?

I'd be down for some 1 out of 2 falls matches.

Coming soon: Which fall is the actual fall that counts match? Could be the first fall, could be the 3rd, maybe the 9th...
