Punk apparently working with wwe to some degree.

Smackdown is starting at 730 Friday with a kickoff show. I can see them saying fuck the local channels showing whatever syndicated rerun sitcoms at 7 to give it 3 hours eventually if ratings are good enough

The backstage show on FS1 supposedly but in reality that's working for FOX not WWE

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah.... there is a Smackdown "pre-show" here in Canada by Rogers that has Santino Marella on it..... but Santino is working for Rogers, not WWE

[Lock Jaw]

Saying that, hearing CM Punk try to talk positively would be weird.

Add in ROH on Sundays I think, NWA on Tuesdays (via Youtube), AAA on Fridays (via Twitch), and MLW on Saturdays and that covers all the notable promotions that will now air weekly stuff in the US.

CM Punk will be back. He’s dropped the public feelers. Vince and Hunter will come a-courting.

[Jordan]

No doubt. It's war season. WWE has won every war they've ever been in, basically. They will bring out the big guns to slap down AEW and Impact (lol jk). I would love to see Punk back at the end of the draft on Raw, being drafted to Smackdown. Would be a good lead in for the 3rd week. But instead of getting to speak he is interrupted by THE BEST IN THE WORLD... and yeah need I say more?

[Jordan]

Chelsea Green is trying out commentary at NXT. Usually when they promote that stuff online it becomes a thing. Kind of sucks because I thought she was really good in the ring and oh so fine.

Over the last couple of years I've been so disinterested in WWE because they have such shit consistency. Obviously I'm a sucker and I won't "give up" on them, so here we go again down another "era" of sorts. But this is actually a new era. There is the competition and then so many alternatives. I'm currently catching ROH every week and really enjoying it. I also anticipate watching Impact when I can, as well as NWA Power... It's just so much! I want to watch MLW as well but honestly I think I may be done with it. It's fun to watch when they go to Queens but I haven't kept up with the TV since WM season because I got tired of watching myself in the front row for like 4 weeks straight lol.

Honestly NJPW really needs to get their shit in gear. I have subscribed and canceled New Japan World because the only use for me is a live programming. The catalog is not English friendly at all. They should really make an effort to employ a team of English or Americans to make New Japan World an app worth buying.

I wonder what will happen with NJPW and AXS. I think the deal is up in February next year. Have the made enough of a brand for themselves to land on another worth while network? Will Anthem want to keep NJPW where they are? So much going on in the undercurrent of the WWE changes and AEW boom.

I tell you ROH is putting on a good show every week. It's really easy to watch and the wrestling is usually just as good as NXT. And the production is nearly equal to it as well. It has a great vibe to it. They have more "stars" than you'd think when you see them all out there on a show. Rush, Bandido, Taven, Lethal, Briscoes, Shelly, Haskins, PJ Black, Castle, PCO, King, and Scurll. It's like they are missing that one hot talker like they had with Punk. I really don't know who they can find to fill the void but I have faith that they can rise through.

The beauty of ROH is that they can survive this period of low attendance because that hasn't been the main source of income for the company since the very early days. ROH has always made money from the DVD's and merch, now the Honor Club and TV deals and an owner with deep pockets.

Probably getting dropped from the network if the recent layoffs and comments from Anthem's boss are any indication.

In regards to where they would go next, all depends on who would actually be interested since the tv market for wrestling is still pretty weak overall unless your WWE or get really lucky like AEW did with TNT.

Oh you know what wold be a solution? Hey ROH ol buddy ol pal, remember how we helped you fill out The Garden ... ahem, yeah we need you to talk to Sinclair cause ..."

It would be possible you'd think. NJPW on the same channels ROH is on would be a strong move and also we could get more NJPW guys in ROH which would be huge for them right now.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think New Japan will end up somewhere else. It depends who they are in bed with when that deal is up. I can see them on a Turner station if they’re with AEW, for example. Showtime and Viceland may be interested. They could end up on a streaming service.

My crystal ball tells me that they are too salty with AEW and the overall product is just too goofy. Even if the deal with ROH runs its course and CMLL are out, I think they are more likely to work with NXT and Triple H. It’s just way more their style. They can finish up Jericho and Moxley at the Dome shows, officially end things with their previous partners, then move into something with NXT. It wouldn’t shock me to see the currently formatted AXS show to end up on the WWE Network or on an NBC Universal channel.

Lol Fox news has a wrestling ring set up outside and a couple hundred people around it but they tried to do a fire extinguisher demo for national fire prevention month and all the wrestling fans over to the side were changing "burn it down"

From The Kevin & Bean Show on 106.7 KROQ FM

"I enjoy The Rock, I do," Punk said of The Rock and his return on Friday. "And I'm not trying to put this out... gee, hopefully people don't do this, but do you remember the last time The Rock was in the Staples Center?"

He continued, "Let's do it again. When is this show, next Friday? Dwayne, call me Friday," Punk joked.

One of the hosts imagined how big it would be if they did a phone call segment like that on SmackDown, but had the camera cut backstage to Punk on his phone, live in the Staples Center for his WWE return.

Punk responded to that fantasy booking and said, "100% better than anything on their shows since I left."

[Emperor Smeat]

According to the Observer, Brock's destruction of Rey and Dominick wasn't meant to be the start of a feud or anything between them but instead just them already starting the build to a potential Lesnar vs. Cain Velasquez match.

Velasquez hasn't signed a deal with WWE but the company feels very confident he will do so soon.

[Lock Jaw]

Seems like it would be "ridiculous" for Rey to just "not want revenge". So I guess he'll just come back and be fine with it.

[Droford]

It's weird seeing Impact on AXStv already even if it is 9 months old

It's kind of a cheap shot @WWE they're doing the hype for Bound For Glory in front of the. Staples Center

[Droford]

Lol the infamous part of the Eli Drake/Abyss monster's ball match where Abyss held his hands together for like a minute for no reason while Elibtried to zip tie his hands together lol. Jesus

Lucha Bros vs LAX from Homecoming on now. Feels like it's promoting AEW

Also can't imagine Rhyno and RVD tagging in 2019 at BFG

[Simple Fan]

Was really sad how they used Eli Drake towards the end. The Abyss match had to be a breaking point.

The belt icons are a terrible choice for a graph, the years should be directly aligned to the icon and the WWE belts should be grouped together instead of all over the place.

It's the work of a dickhead.

Grouping the WWE titles wouldn't make sense since the WWE Championship has been around since the '60s whereas the World Heavyweight and Universal Championships have been around since the '00s and '10s respectively.

Yikes. WWE and E!'s plan of adding Ronda Rousey mainstream star power to Total Divas in hopes it would boost the series sluggish ratings ended up backfiring big time.

Making things worse was the show got moved to Tuesdays out of fear that it would get hammered by the upcoming Wednesday Night War and to also take advantage of the Tuesday night spot left open by Smackdown's departure.

In other wrestling-related ratings news, the season premiere of Total Divas, featuring Ronda Rousey, averaged just 252,000 viewers. That was an all-time series low and more than 100,000 viewers fewer than the lowest rated episode of the previous season.

What?

The list should go NWA, AWA, WCW, ECW, TNT then all of the WWE related titles. There is no reason to spread the WWE titles amongst the others when the purpose of a graph is to present information in an easy to understand way.

Did you make the graph?!

New Impact eps start tuesday the 29th. The next two weeks theyre reairing PPVs. Next tuesday is the Rebellion PPV from April, and the 15th is Slamiversary 17 from July. the 22nd is then a "this is Impact Wrestling" special which will also have unaired matches from Bound for Glory 2 days earlier.

Rebellions Main Event was a Homecoming rematch between LAX and Lucha Bros, which again makes this odd since theyre both in AEW.

Why is the Cruiserweight Championship now an NXT title and the United Kingdom Championship still a WWE one?

[Mr. Pierre]

Not to be a complete nerd and nitpick everything but...

The idea of Bray Wyatt’s gimmick is absolutely next level stuff, and Vince has obviously toyed with it.

A once evil man is trying very hard to turn over a new leaf. So much so that he hosts a children’s TV show to help positively influence young minds. But this man is so disturbed that he unknowingly creates a vile persona to fulfill his sick urges to harm and destroy people. A wrestler with a split personality. And Wyatt is so damn talented, he would have made this work perfectly.

So now time for my nerd rant: Vince has already dropped the split personality aspect of the character, by Wyatt essentially admitting and knowing that he is the Fiend. If he’s openly telling people that he’s the Fiend, why would he bother creating a children’s TV show as a front?

It’s just Vince having no faith in his audience to understand anything other than BAD GUY and GOOD GUY. Another example of Vince having to spoon feed us is the classic backdrop with all the victims with Xs over their faces. And did I mention that he’s already overexposed the character by having him do the SAME THING for 4 weeks in a row?

Holy shit Vince, just please hand the book over to your son-in-law. Absolutely brutal. Thankfully the character still has plenty of juice, but it’s novelty, creativity, and uniqueness is quickly going south. What a shame because Wyatt created an amazing look with a great story for his character.

Rant to be continued when the Undertaker pins the Fiend clean at Survivor Series...

[Tom Guycott]

Meh. I won't complain until he has to explicitly explain how he didn't actually burn IRS up in a shrimp boat "accident". Or he repeatedly jobs clean in all of his matches.

[Jordan]

Just don't watch every week.

[Emperor Smeat]

According to the Observer Newsletter, seems WWE is having a lot harder time than they expected trying to set up a NXT Japan branch.

WWE has been attempting to make moves to set up NXT Japan but it’s become very difficult due to Japanese culture. But that was very high on the priority list and a lot of deals were offered and looked into

Probably going to be just as hard with their goal of a NXT Latin America and/or Mexico branch because of how different that wrestling culture is compared to the US and UK.

Even in the UK, there is more resentment towards WWE now than before for their role in seriously damaging the UK wrestling renaissance.

[Emperor Smeat]

Also this week's Newsletter mentioned that WWE pretty much keeps breaking their pay scale for wrestlers all because AEW simply exists.

Mentioned Gallows and Anderson going from an offer of $2.5 million for 5 years to getting $3.5 million for 5 years all because there were rumors of AEW and NJPW being interested in them. Same for them overpaying Strowman to the tune of $5 million for 4 years for a guy they flat out refuse to pull the trigger on becoming a bigger star.

Others saw big gains in guaranteed money solely because of WWE's paranoia.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Another Orton story has popped up. A woman posted an autograph from Orton that has him saying it’s a shame she’s too young and to call him next year. She was 14 but represented herself as 15 at the time. It was 2002. Orton would have been 22 or so. Times were different, it could have been a “joke” and he didn’t actually pursue her, but it’s one of those things that just doesn’t look good. Dude’s not having the best week.

[Seanny One Ball]

On the back of the autograph he wrote p.s Chris Hansen is a pussy

[Emperor Smeat]

Considering Diesel is usually the measuring stick for poor drawing as top star and WWE champ, his reign being in the middle of the pack in terms of drawing power is a bit surprising. Same for some of the names and reigns lower than his.

To Catch an Apex Predator. Would that Mania celebrity match be any less believable than Hogan/Leno?

Eh, I’m not that shocked. Diesel’s reign was kind of entered into the annals of history and people kind of stopped paying attention to who was drawing because WWF were hot through the war and then were the only guys left.

[Seanny One Ball]

To Catch an Apex Predator. Would that Mania celebrity match be any less believable than Hogan/Leno?

It would be more believable because Chris Hansen always gets his man.

[Mr. Nerfect]

So when it comes to house show attendance, Jack Swagger is the ninth highest drawing champion in WWE history?

[Emperor Smeat]

Seems so although the chart only counts from the Hogan era to now and US only. Add in people like Bret for Canada and Bruno for pre-Hogan era and he's probably more in the lower Top 15 or Top 20.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Ah, didn’t even check to see if Bruno was on there. Kind of skimmed that.

[Jordan]

So when it comes to house show attendance, Jack Swagger is the ninth highest drawing champion in WWE history?

I know. :eek:

[Tom Guycott]

Seems like one of those metrics that might be skewed somewhat by timing and things that were going on tangential to each reign. Like, there is no way in hell that you can convince me that Jinder Mahal was in any way a bigger draw than Eddie Guerrero than pure happenstance.

Kinda reminds me of that thing CM Punk said about how (paraphrasing) if Cena wasn't there, ratings/buyrates were down because Cena wasn't there. If Cena was there, then the ratings/buyrates being down were "the fault of Miz and R-Truth".

[Evil Vito]

The Swagger number surprises me. I actually looked up some results archives and he was facing a whole bunch of people in the main for a few months. Orton, Big Show, Mysterio, Undertaker. Only constant is that he would retain the belt by DQ every single night.

[Bad News Gertner]

Seems so although the chart only counts from the Hogan era to now and US only. Add in people like Bret for Canada and Bruno for pre-Hogan era and he's probably more in the lower Top 15 or Top 20.

House Show attendance pre-Hogan was pretty hit or miss, unless it's MSG, Boston Garden or MSG.

Bret and especially the Undertaker were over HUGE in Europe.

I remember Diana Hart saying Davey Boy was the most famous man in Britain at the time which was pretty funny. He wasn't even the most famous wrestler.

TMZ.com was able to acquire a copy of Jeff Hardy's arrest report from his Driving While Impaired arrest on Thursday 10/3.

The police report notes that authorities received a tip about a careless driver around 8:40 PM.

Authorities located the car in front of a liquor store. Hardy emerged carrying a case of beer. Authorities followed the car and pulled him over when they "observed him weaving badly in his lane."

Hardy had "what seemed to be dried blood on his nose" and advisors officers that he and his wife "got into a fight."

The police report states that Hardy admitted to having two shots of vodka and admitted to being impaired. He failed a field sobriety test and according to TMZ was "was uncooperative when asked for a breathalyzer or blood sample." A judge signed off on a search warrant, allowing officers to extract a blood sample from Hardy, which was done after Emergency Medical Services arrived on the scene.

[GD]

I echo the sentiment of the fella who made the “Fuck Jeff Hardy” post on /r/SC. Driving under the influence is unacceptable!

[Mr. Nerfect]

Drink driving is not cool. Not when The Usos do it, and not when a Hardy does it. You’re not only risking your safety.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Not an excuse, but this seems to happen to Jeff when he is off with an injury. It’s like he gets “bored.” He needs help and a fucking hobby.

Drink driving is cool because Mungo Jerry said so

WWE treating one of their own shows with the same status as a major outside source is pretty hilarious.

I think these shows have a very different purpose than what you are implying.

Dag, yo....... AEW didn't record today because they changed the name in the guide from "AEW Dyamite" to "All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite"......

You likely have it on demand check that. Or use the TNT app.

Why did he feel the need to let us know that he was "literally" sitting on the toilet?

He's probably just a moron who doesn't really understand words like "literally".

Cut him some slack, mate. Feel like he was already under some pressure.

Cutting morons slack is precisely why morons now feel fine saying rubbish that makes no sense.

I get your insinuating that they'd go there and have an empty stadium show for the money they're being paid but my point was more why not give those matches to an American crowd?

Cain Velasquez has announced he’s signed with WWE for multiple years.

[Evil Vito]

In his press conference, he speaks Spanish like someone whose had three Spanish lessons.

[Gerard]

WWE press conferences....what's the point exactly? Hyping up a worked "sport" like it's legit...Also who attends them? From the clips i seen there seemed to be a few deaf mutes in attendance and nothing more.

It was lame, big time Saudi hype show. Braun and Tyson were really staged and really bad. Cain was really bad on the mic. Lesnar was good.

Undrafted superstars are free to go to either brand. I assumed that would be how they'd fill up the roster to have more depth on SD

[Emperor Smeat]

That would make sense if it was done free agency style but their website specifically stated they were all done via draft picks despite only Friday and Monday being designated draft nights nor ever mentioned anything beforehand about supplemental draft rounds being possible.

According to Meltzer the reason the draft leak happened was someone gave the list to the Internet Department and told them to alphabetize and post it on WWE.com but they just posted it instead. He said no one cross-checks website articles usually so no one in WWE noticed they had given away the draft until it caught popularity on Twitter.

WOR notes (https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/di6l30/wor_draft_notes_from_meltzer/)


Carmella and R-Truth were broken up because USA wanted the 24/7 title (since it was their idea)- but since Carmella is dating Corey Graves, they had to put Carmella on Smackdown.

Paul Heyman got "all of his guys" (except Brock) and "Smackdown got the leftovers" (Dave's words).

Humberto Carillo is set to be groomed as the next generation Hispanic star.

Paul Heyman is very high on Buddy Murphy- more than anyone else, Dave assumed he would go to RAW for Heyman. He also mentioned Heyman really wanting Aleister Black.

The Miz going to Smackdown was a change, Dave speculates because of the leaks.

Eric Bischoff is high on Baron Corbin.

Luke Harper wasn't drafted. Dave doesn't know why, but mentions there were only storylines planned for Harper until the tag match at Hell in a Cell.

Dave doesn't know why they put Rey Mysterio on a separate brand to Cain Velasquez.

Dave was surprised Gable wasn't drafted to RAW.

AoP are going to be on RAW, despite not being drafted, per Meltzer.

Meltzer noted that RAW is loaded up with great workers who aren't over- so Heyman's goal is to now get these guys over (guys like Murphy, Alexander, Tozawa etc).

Meltzer says that they weren't intending to do another draft before the FOX move- the rosters for RAW and Smackdown were going to be what they were after the Superstar Shake-up in April. Says he doesn't know why that changed. Says it was most likely due to popping a rating, hence the minimal changes.

Maybe not the lower tier or PC tier talent but NXT does allow some creative freedom for their more established and notable stars.

Being able to say no to a manager request likely means its someone who's an established star and didn't like the fit for whatever reason.

Big Japan is a front for the Yakuza and has been for its entire life. Not sure what WWE would do with all the deathmatch stuff if they take over, given it is a deathmatch promotion.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Yeah, on paper I wouldn’t think it would be a good fit. That’s just the scuttlebutt. I’d honestly rather just see them working with New Japan.

Someone needs to steal this theme. Instantly over. Lyrics start 30 seconds in. Amazing.

Alvarez and Meltzer were discussing during their review of RAW where this week's episode and WWE in general ranks compared to WCW. They came to agreement that current WWE is around late '98 WCW in terms of overall quality.

Nowhere bad enough to be hitting legendary WCW 2000 levels of awfulness but inching closer to the Jan. 4, 1999 point of no return.
