I just watched the first part of the Benoit Vice story. I still dont believe Benoit killed his wife and kid.
Hey people that still think anyone but him did it need their head checked and probably need to stay secluded from society.
He didnt do it you stank pussy whore.

I wonder if there had been anyone who had been to all the Wrestlemanias

Doubtful, though, considering that we would have heard about this from somewhere already- that there were some person who gets their WrestleMania streak broken by a respiratory disease. And whatever article would invariably make a bad pun or hokey allusion to Undertaker's streak.

Based on a recent fan survey, seems WWE is considering the idea of potentially airing NXT live on the WWE Network.
May or may not be as a simulcast with USA Network.
PW Insider Elite audio noted that the company is sending out surveys to fans who cancel their WWE Network subscriptions. There is a survey attached with some very interesting questions.
The survey asked if participants want more NXT content on the WWE Network. They asked about the possibility of airing NXT live on the WWE Network every Wednesday.

Teddy Hart currently facing the possibility of up to 5 years in prison after he got hit with strangulation charges from a recent assault incident he was involved in.
Teddy Hart has been arrested for the third time this year.
Hart, real name Edward Annis, was arraigned this morning in Richmond, Virginia on charges of strangulation resulting in bodily harm following his arrest yesterday. Under Virginia law, strangulation is considered a class six felony and could lead to 1-5 years of imprisonment and a $2,500 fine. He is currently held without bail at the Richmond County Jail and is scheduled for a April 24 hearing.
This comes following a video posted on independent wrestler Ace Montana’s Facebook page where he accused Hart of physically assaulting ROH star Maria Manic.
“Literally had to pull my gun on Teddy Hart and throw him out of my friends house,” Montana wrote. “This piece of **** literally choked out and physically assaulted Maria Manic and would not let her get help. she texted me I’m in danger never ever did I think I would meet a piece of **** like this guy who has now been arrested with a felony against him. I don’t think this guy knew how close to death he was. This video is me kick him out before the cops came and arrested him.”
Hart continually denied the allegations in the video.
This is the third arrest for Hart this year. He was first arrested on February 12 for possession of a Schedule II controlled substance and possession with the intent to distribute. He was then arrested on March 4 due to a violation of his house arrest. He is scheduled for a April 23 court date for the February arrest.

Always surprised Norton didn't appear in wwe, he's the kind of "hoss" i imagine Vince pulls his wire to daily. Built like a shitehouse door and had a ton of power. Seems he made 1 appearance and lost against bob holly in 1994...

AEW was very lucky to get that new tv deal from TNT when it happened considering their original deal only paid them a percentage of ad money.
AEW didn't get a big money deal though. They basically got an extension in duration. If you believe Meltzer on the production costs being only $500k per episode, and not a roundabout number or something off-the-cuff from The Young Bucks, then they got a slight increase in money. But an interview with a WWE production team member in 2016 suggested that the average Raw cost $880k to put on. I don't know what would make current AEW so much cheaper than four years ago WWE, so if you take that number and account for 50 shows, then that's $44 million per deal -- which is virtually their current one.
I think Dave Meltzer got played by a fake press release making it sound like the new deal was a major upgrade instead of a simple tentative extension. When WWE re-announced the Saudi deal, Meltzer was all over that as PR fluff. AEW does a similar thing? Nope.
Even if their deal was an actual increase of $20 million per year, that's still not even big in TV terms. But I seriously doubt that their production costs are that low, and rather Meltzer is just accepting a spoonful of sugar.
Still "can't believe it" at Shawn Michaels coming out of retirement for a pile of Saudi gold.....
He's worked after retirement. Physical involvement in angles, etc. The bell just didn't ring and he just wasn't in wrestling gear. Well, except for WrestleMania 32. That night he was in wrestling gear.

WWE has higher overhead costs because of their larger production staff and other associated stuff bloating the cost for episodes.
The amount of money going into AEW's bank after you subtract costs isn't that huge even compared to WWE's old deal but it pretty much means Khan's original plan of becoming profitable in year 4 or 5 would now be possible in year 1.
Vince had the same mentality with the XFL's revival when it came to them accepting a similar ad sharing deal. No expectations of being profitable until maybe the end of the 1st deal and putting all the hope on the next deal ensuring profitability and big spike in revenues.
Mr. Nerfect
03-30-2020, 12:36 AM
Do we know for sure that it is profitable, or is that just a Meltzer myth?
Emperor Smeat

Tony Khan mentioned stuff like that in past interviews, especially after they got a newly revised tv deal from TNT.
AEW last month announced an extension of its $175m deal with WarnerMedia’s TNT to the end of 2023 along with plans for another one-hour show. “I never believed we would be in this position so early into year two,” said Tony ...
"But we have a very good chance to be profitable in 2020 and beyond; it’s very exciting.”
https://www.ft.com/content/76a01972-2d58-11ea-a126-99756bd8f45e
Technically AEW's is still in year 1 considering their tv deal hasn't even reached 6 months yet.

So they're in the position to be profitable? Okay. Good for them.

Apparently WWE accidentally spoiled the result to the NA title match before it happened on tonight's NXT show. Probably a wise idea to not visit their website during Mania 36 in case it accidentally happens again.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">WWE spoiled the results of Keith Lee/Dijakovic/Priest during the show by linking to a gallery that hadn't been published yet showing Keith Lee standing victorious at the end. <br><br>(Didn't want to post before the match aired and get people pissed at me for spoiling it too ��) <a href="https://t.co/D9nNbqsytg">pic.twitter.com/D9nNbqsytg</a></p>— Ryan Satin (@ryansatin) <a href="https://twitter.com/ryansatin/status/1245532154710245376?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 2, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Also according to Satin, seems WWE is about to face another problem since they only taped enough new stuff to last until next week but Florida's stay at home order is active until the end of this month. AEW managed to avoid this situation by leaving Florida before the order got issued and are taping even more stuff this week as added insurance.

Guess NXT started to have too many wrestlers with full names since a newly debuted tag team got their last names dropped outta nowhere for this week's show.
As seen in the video above, Malcolm Bivens appeared during a backstage segment on tonight's WWE NXT episode and revealed that his new stable will be called Bivens Enterprises.
Bivens referred to Rinku Singh and Saurav Gurjar as his associates. It looks like WWE has dropped their last names and will be calling them just Rinku and Saurav.
Rinku and Saurav attacked NXT Tag Team Champion Matt Riddle on last week's NXT episode and beat him down as Bivens taunted him on the mic, saying that was the best time to go for Riddle because partner Pete Dunne was stuck in the UK.

Some have claimed mental illness issues, some have said that she was "approached" by Chris Jericho and it freaked her out. Whatever her reason is, she chose to leave the company.
The rumored story is that after her debut, Jericho invited her to a party after Dynamite. She assumed it was a crew party and went. When she got there it was just Jericho. She felt creeped out and left immediately, but she couldn't be around him anymore. The party was in his hotel room
There ARE rumors he's in an open marriage, as he isn't shy about having photos of him making out with other girls online.
She signed a non-disclosure agreement to get her release so who knows.

Supposedly the 2-3 sources who spread that rumor either made it up or were notable online trolls and wanted dirt on AEW just to stick it to Meltzer at the time.
One of the sources was Voices of Wrestling who took a hit on their rep as a result. Another was a Twitter account that kept getting suspended by Twitter for harassment.
Considering not even Satin, Bixenspan, or Sapp could find any evidence of the rumor meant it was very likely fake considering I think Bixenspan dug a lot into it.

It is odd but the only other rumor that spread online involved Brandi bullying her out of the company but like with the Jericho rumor, the people spreading it couldn't back it up either.
The one other rumor that gained the most traction was her suffering a mental breakdown at some point and both sides agreeing to keep it hush for privacy reasons. She's known to have suffer from stuff like that in the past.

Apparently AEW taped enough new content during these past two weeks to cover Dynamite until at least mid-May if they end up being unable to tape any new episodes during that time.
WWE is in a more trickier spot since they only have enough new content taped to last them till next week and mainly only in regards to next week's RAW and NXT.
In regards to others like MLW and Impact, MLW has enough new content till at least the rest of this month while Impact runs out of new stuff in about 3 weeks. ROH already exhausted their new content and have been running specials focusing on talent till June.

Rumor has it Goldberg and Vince got into a verbal altercation about the match. Goldberg wanted to do 2 matches, beating the fiend and then losing the title to Roman, before he retired. When he was told Strowman was the replacement, apparently Goldberg didn't like that because he says Braun has no credibility and isn't over. He wanted to go over Braun, have another match I'm guessing in Saudi, and then drop the title to Roman at SS. Also wanted to continue getting 1 million dollars for every match. Vince disagreed and didn't see the need to pay Goldberg that much, especially with all the COVID uncertainty, and didn't see much difference in having Roman beating Strowman for the title instead of Goldberg. After the match, apparently Goldberg went off about how Vince is stupid and doesn't know what he's doing by putting the title on a no credibility Braun, and Vince has apparently said Goldberg and his unprofessional attitude won't be back any time soon, if ever.
Find it kind of funny that Goldberg says Braun doesn't have any credibility because of how hes been handled the last few months. What credibility does Roman have? He's lost to Shane McMahon, Baron Corbin and Dolph Ziggler in recent months lol. Kinda sounds like oldbergs greedy ass just wanted a couple extra million to put on even more shitty, one/two move matches because he has nothing left in the tank. Vince made the right call. Given how it all played out, I imagine he wishes he would have left the belt on Bray.

The Undertaker is an absolute master.
He has once again evolved his persona to stay relevant. It may not be the cool smark thing to admit to, but the Undertaker in his mid 50s is more compelling than about 90% of the roster.
We’re all going to see another layer peeled back and have a strong emotional attachment to see him admit that he’s old, broken, and depressed in this documentary. The payoff to this story should be a huge moment and draw some huge dollars. I don’t care what anyone says. Give me the Undertaker now over majority of the flippers and floppers working 100 MPH.
I’m excited for this “Last Ride” baby!

Since I'm disconnected with zero context to this, I initially thought this had something to do with Southpaw Regional Wrestling (like implying they were bought out by Turner or somesuch). Must remember to investigate further.

Considering WWE's upcoming taping issues, Vince probably taking down notes on what Dana White is currently doing since UFC is very close to signing a deal to hold events at a private island. If UFC's plans ends up being successful, they can continue holding regular events for at least the next 2 months without having to worry about any venue issues or government orders.
Out of everyone notable in sports and wrestling, Dana White has been even way more stubborn than Vince and other wrestling companies when it comes to trying to get around government recommendations and bans and also being more unwilling to even shut down things for a short time.
Is there not a travel ban in place?
Here - they accept no flights from Asia. And everyone that travels from anywhere else is immediately thrown into a 14-day long quarantine.

Bear with me, but I am already looking forward to Mania 37. It’s always fun to speculate the big attractions for next year, and then be mightily disappointed. ANYWAY this is what I’ve got..
Main Event
Brock Lesnar (c) vs Undertaker
-This is the payoff to the Undertaker story. We watch the documentary, various vignettes about how much pain he’s in, and McCool comments about how broken he is.
Taker is built up for an appearance at Survivor Series to make an announcement. During his apparent retirement on his 30 year anniversary, he is interrupted by Bray Wyatt. Wyatt tells him to “hold his horses” and invites the Undertaker to the FireFly Funhouse. Taker is skeptical but accepts the invitation.
The FireFly Funhouse happens about a month later. It’s very similar to the wackiness of the Cena segment. Wyatt recaptures all of the Undertaker’s achievements, glory, and prestige. It’s all positive until the very end. Wyatt brings up the Undertaker’s biggest failure: The ending of the Streak.
The Funhouse ends with Wyatt screaming at the Undertaker to avenge his greatest failure before he ever retires and to wake up.
The Undertaker challenges Brock Lesnar. We’re given training videos of each wrestler, think Rock/Brock buildup from 2002.
At WrestleMania, the Undertaker defeats Lesnar for the Championship. Leaves the belt in the ring, and exits on his Last Ride.
Semi-Main Event
John Cena vs The Fiend
The script has been flipped, as Cena would play the heel and The Fiend would be the babyface.
After his realization in the Funhouse, Cena becomes his true self and tries to bury Wyatt again like he did in 2014.
Fiend goes over Cena, clean.
-Post Mania
Go all in on The Fiend. He just went over John Cena, and he had a strong association with the Undertaker.
The Fiend goes on to win a tournament for the vacated Championship. His opponent in the finals is Goldberg, as he conquers his biggest past failure.
You really want more Taker? And him beating Lesnar?
Mr. Pierre

At this point, it’s the biggest possible attraction for your biggest, most successful character in your company’s history.
If anyone can recover, it’s Lesnar. So yeah, I definitely see how people wouldn’t want to see it happen, but I think it works.

In probably one of the weirdest WWE-related stories in a while, someone making fun of the NXT UK brand online somehow led to a dick pic being sent in revenge by a sex offender who once worked with WWE.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">so to recap: a man (probably dan edler) was so upset that i made fun of nxt uk that changed his @ and profile pic to look like me, followed everyone who interacted with my tweets and then sent me a picture of his entire naked body. <br><br>to quote the ojmo, “mondays, amirite?!”</p>— snowboiiii (@snowboiiii) <a href="https://twitter.com/snowboiiii/status/1247294971738238976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 6, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The insult that started the whole situation was pretty tame to begin with.

UFC's private island location ended up being revealed to be at the Tachi Palace Casino in Lemoore, California. Since its on tribal land, UFC doesn't have to follow California state government nor the state's Athletic Commission orders for event bannings.
Also Dana White invoked Vince McMahon's name for his reasons why UFC is still going ahead with holding shows.
White spoke to ESPN’s Brett Okamoto:
"Everybody is afraid to be first. Realistically, the only guy right now who isn’t afraid is me and Vince McMahon. I mean, Vince McMahon hasn’t skipped a beat but what he did was, he found solutions, he found ways, get rid of the crowd and I’m sure he’s doing everything in his power too to make sure that his guys are safe. Everybody else is afraid to be first, right now we need leadership, we need people that are going to go out and find solutions. Hiding inside your house is not the answer, I get it, we have to do it. We have followed everything the CDC has said but at what point do we get back to normal? You keep people in their houses for too long without entertainment, people are going to start losing their minds and we need to start figuring out solutions and that’s what we’re doing. We’re going to keep everyone safe and we’re going to pull this off."

At least in regards to NJPW, their promo-like stuff is mostly done via backstage media interviews. In recent times, they've uploaded them afterwards on their English Youtube channel with subtitles if needed.
Compared to other pairings NJPW used, Kevin Kelly and Chris Chartlon have done a pretty good job in the booth calling matches and explaining what's going on with certain wrestlers and feuds.

Lol as soon as people called out that plot hole their storyline justification was just “it should’ve been iron clad, but John Laurinaitis is an idiot who didn’t draft the contract properly”
But then they went back around and said something like "It is Iron clad but you have to perform, speaking of performing your wife called me and said you can't perform anymore"
It's like what?..... Why would she say that to Steph at all?

Supposedly Brock Lesnar made around $10 million last year in WWE based on an earnings list from Forbes.
Assuming the numbers reported are correct, that made him the highest paid wrestler in WWE last year and doubled what Reigns made at the #2 spot.
1. Brock Lesnar: $10 million
2. Roman Reigns: $5 million
3. Randy Orton: $4.1 million
4. Seth Rollins: $4 million
5. Triple H: $3.3 million
6. Becky Lynch: $3.1 million
7. Bill Goldberg: $3 million
8. Shane McMahon: $2.1 million
9. Stephanie McMahon: $2 million
10. Braun Strowman: $1.9 million

I heard a rumor from a friend (he believes anything he reads) that WWE did not want Goldberg to win the title from Bray but Ol Bill used his creative control and they gave it to him anyway
Mr. Nerfect
04-08-2020, 07:57 PM
Nah. Well, maybe, if by creative control they mean "him being a giant fucking star that has Vince's ear." It was the right move. Bray Wyatt fucking sucks. But the writers probably love him and think that he should have been champion forever and a day. So yeah, it's probably a Vince vision that the writers don't get.

NXT is going to have a tournament for an interim Cruiserweight Champion with Devlin unable to defend the title.
It’d be great if they made the Interim Cruiserweight Championship gold. They’ve got the leather to black (away from purple), it’d look great in gold, and match the NXT aesthetic better.

Seems UFC's plans to hold events at a private island and tribal lands got trashed after ESPN and Disney told Dana White to stop his antics regarding the coronavirus.
In a dizzying week for the UFC, Dana White told ESPN's Brett Okamoto Thursday afternoon that UFC 249 is canceled and all upcoming events have been postponed indefinitely.
The reason? The highest levels of Disney, owners of ESPN, and the sports network told him to "stand down" and not do the event, which was set for Lemoore, CA's Tachi Palace Casino a week from this Saturday. ESPN is the UFC's sole North American pay-per-view provider through ESPN+.
Also after promising new tapings would happen for the NXT UK brand, seems Triple H also backed down since next month's tapings got cancelled. WWE already started dipping into the "Best Of" well for the brand starting with today's episode.
Meanwhile, Impact running new tapings this week in Tennessee was later revealed to be possible because of how laxed the stay at home orders are in the state at the moment.

Moxley interview on Jerichos podcast
He went on to say that what really caught his eye from the promo was some joke about a “pooper scooper.” Moxley said, “like something along the lines of ‘I’m not going out there without a pooper scooper.’ So I’m like ‘I’m not saying that. I’m like did Vince write this? They’re like we don’t know who wrote it.” He then went on to say that the trick to getting the script re-written without the pooper scooper line, was to get it to Vince before he saw the actual pooper scooper line because if he saw it then he would love it and say “Ah, that’s such good shit!”

According to this week's Observer Newsletter, the financial hit from the coronavirus outbreak in Japan has reached a point where the current feeling is WWE now has a much easier road to establish themselves as a major force in the market.
Companies that were not willing to sell to WWE or even consider the idea before supposedly are now more open to the idea.
Due to the virus, the situation in Japan has changed once again. Before, nobody wanted to sell to WWE and now with most companies in tough financial straits, it’s become a buyers market and it is believed companies that otherwise wouldn’t sell would be willing to do so and WWE could have a local infrastructure and start being a force in that market. The general belief is that with MMA no longer a big deal except for a few shows a year, that the only thing that can threaten New Japan, past a current act of God, wouldn’t be another company in the market, but WWE in the market with roots which always could have happened but now the odds are significantly better to make such a deal

Also early estimates for Mania 36's PPV buys numbers are very low going by Google trends as an indicator.
Not only did this year's Mania generate one of the lowest ever Google trends since that became a notable indicator, Day 2 of the show bombed hard in terms of online interest.
Even in terms of pre-show interest on regular cable, the numbers were way down compared to last year.
Google searches were even more pronounced. WrestleMania would be expected to do three to four million Google searches. It should be about that number for each show.
The Saturday show did 1 million, way under expectations. Sunday did 270,000 (including Monday), which is so low as to be beyond shocking, and only 50,000 of that was for WrestleMania, as the breakdown was 100,000 for Flair, 50,000 for McIntyre, Cena and 20,000 for Mandy Rose. It was as if the public saw Saturday as the show, but even 1 million is the level of a B UFC PPV show and WrestleMania is usually better than Jon Jones level and this did half of Jones. Sunday was below the level of a Demetrious Johnson level PPV show.
The preshow on FS 1 for Saturday did a 0.1 rating and 106,000 viewers and 44,000 (0.03 rating; 29,000 men; 15,000 women) in 18-49.
The Sunday pre-show did a 0.1 rating and 112,000 viewers, with 56,000 (0.04 rating; 43,000 men; 13,000 women) in 18-49.
For a comparison, the preshow last year on USA did a 0.5 rating and 749,000 viewers and an 0.26 rating in 18-49.

WWE somehow turned into the Gamestop of wrestling in regards to their stubbornness with the coronavirus outbreak.
Also once again the locker room got pissed at something Vince did recently.
In regards to Pro Wrestling Sheet's report of WWE going live regularly again next week, we heard the same thing during WWE Smackdown. Fightful was told that a "very aggressive" Vince McMahon made the decision, and many on the talent roster are unhappy about it. He was at the Friday Smackdown. Some at the WWE tapings were given a letter in case they were questioned by law enforcement, stating that they are "essential media."

The reasoning behind his decision is even more stupider considering it hasn't really happened to other shows that had to suspend production or other sports in general. Same for not even being the reason why the XFL folded again.
Being speculated Vince thinks FOX and USA Network will use this occasion to void or restructure their tv deals if WWE can't produce a certain number of live tv shows due to the coronavirus.
Many in the company were shocked at the decision. Those close to the situation have defended it and that it was the correct economic decision even if every decision, and even running at all, has to be questioned right now.
Contracts with both NBC Universal and Fox call for a certain number of shows per year that can be taped. For Raw, that number is three which, at the start of the year, was earmarked for one show over Christmas week and two shows during European tours. In theory, that would leave them with 49 live Raws. Fox has a similar deal.
While nobody will say so publicly, the fear was that by violating the contract, it would give the networks the legal ability to withhold money or find a way to change the deals. With no house shows, the company, like all sports companies, is surviving largely based on television revenue, but the networks paying that are also taking in far less revenue than they projected at this point in time due to the pandemic.
It's unclear whether the decision to return to live is an actual thing that the networks told McMahon to do in recent weeks based on declining ratings or if he is guarding against the possibility of them doing so.
Given that wrestling is the only sports property Fox has going right now and after building their main network around live sports in addition to FS1 needing programming, there doesn't appear to be a chance Fox would want to use more taped shows vs. live to terminate the relationship. Additionally, USA Network badly needs WWE more than they ever have in the past, so WWE has leverage for both of their main TV partners in that regard.
One would think network partners would understand the unique aspect of the situation the world finds itself in. But the fear is that if they have to make cuts due to the advertising business being down so badly, WWE can't afford to leave an opening for the networks to do so to them.

Imagining the whole roster walking out on Vince, but Vince still puts on a show that is just him on camera the entire time

That is so strange, re: live shows.
There's no way WWE wouldn't have legal rights to avoid this, as there is no precedent for this scenario. Also strange bc spoilers weren't leaking - in fact, less is known about what will happen onscreen now than ever before.

"WWE Universe, Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan couldn't be here tonight, but instead we've got the next best thing! It's the Stingy and Battery show!"
