Imagine being upset the owner of a company is trying to put a stop to his employees giving away things about how the company is run that the public doesn't really need to know (assuming this all stems from AJs stuff)

Its like Chik fil A firing employees for posting tik toks of how they cook food.

More like being upset that the owner of a company trying to horn in on the side hustle shit other people have been doing for years because one or two people recently said something they don't like (assuming this all stems from AJ's stuff).

Imagine working at McDonalds, and selling your own screen printed shirts on the side when you're home. Someone somewhere else in the company also makes shirts that say "fuck Ronald", and [presumably] because of that, you're pretty much being told to stop doing something you do on your own time.

Also, you unintentionally hit on a vital point by calling them "employees". If you believe the company, they're not. They're "independent contractors". They dance around the "employee" line to get out of shit like health care, but they're not exactly open for freelance shit like the title implies. Orton can't show up and challenge Aldis for the NWA title tomorrow... but he's not an employee of WWE. People leaving have no compete clauses for x number of days so that can't use any momentum or heat to help some other company get any sort of noteriety... essentially unable to independently contract in a particular window of leaving the company either by design or "future endeavors"... but they're independent contractors, not employees.

There are a lot of people who have, in the last number of years, started streams where they play video games, play D&D, eat food, assemble furniture, vacation, etc... just a variety of shit outside of their wrestling careers; at times, even outside their personas. Now they all have to suddenly give it up because one guy is either pissy or jealous he isn't getting a cut... or both? Get right the fuck out of town with that.

A tape? Sorry is this 1992? I doubt very much your well developed fingers would be able to operate a 90's camcorder.

Imagine if they asked Austin about him kicking the shit out of Debrah on the reg--or about how he did the same to his next girlfriend.

[Volare]

So these 4 live together...my mind is in a million places now.

Skip to 35:30 to see Austin talk about injuring Chono.

It is absolutely fucking ridiculous.
How have I never seen that before?!

No accountability at all.

Martha Hart is of the opinion the tombstone botch to Austin was a work, believe it or not.

[Seanny One Ball]

This is why you have no stars.

If this was a real wrestling federation you two would lose a handicap match to Guru Dave or "Mabel" as he would be known.

[Seanny One Ball]

Who cares what Martha Hart thinks. You can see in the video that Austin lands hard on his head and you can't fake that reaction.
It's the exact same as the Chono clip, both are on their elbows and knees because their hands are numb and useless, they can barely raise their heads.

[Bad News Gertner]

He had another gf after Debra

[Gerard]

Funny when you think about it, Hogan says "Nigger", outrage and angst to this day from certain sections including in the current wwe locker-room.

Austin smacks his missus about, forgotten about in a few months.

Apparently saying "Nigger" is the ultimate sin that usurps Wife beating. :wtf:

[Bad News Gertner]

Smacked multiple missus around

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

For the record, I love Stone Cold. But there's no explaining that shit away.

It's the timing of when the incident comes to light, not the actual incident. If Austin got arrested today for beating his wife, that would be it.

It's fucked up, but it's almost like society doesn't care if it's not newly discovered. If it just came out today that he beat up Debra in 2002, and nobody knew until now, he would be done. Since we have known about it since 2002, it does not matter.

[GD]

There're no excuses for what Austin did. He's shown remorse for his actions and has grown as a person. If it happened in today's climate, he'd certainly be ousted from the wrestling world.

[GD]

I have a faint memory of a Teddy Long interview where he talked about Ric Flair and his attitude towards African Americans and the usage of the n-word.

[Seanny One Ball]

I made a joke about that once.

Hang on.

[GD]

this gon be good

[Seanny One Ball]

Here's some Steiner Math for you.

They should name a whole division after Teddy Long.
They could call it The Teddy Long Division and if you win the Championship Ric Flair calls you the n-word every day for the rest of your/his life.

[#1-norm-fan]

I did my random jump to this thread and saw some Conrad Thompson podcast material being posted as part of a debate as opposed to discussions of the new flippy floppy shit. I am in Heaven.

On quick review, I agree with Seanny that Martha Hart’s opinion is shit.

Has anyone brought up the story of Austin asking Owen multiple times before the match “Are you dropping to your knees?” and Owen just kinda blowing it off with a “No” and Austin thinking he was ribbing?

Not until now but I don't really buy that as an excuse. If I was in that position I'd be damned sure to clarify which version he was doing especially since I broke a guys neck with it five years before.

Maybe Owen was friends with Chono

[#1-norm-fan]

THAT’S the conspiracy I’ve been looking to delve into.

[Seanny One Ball]

I don't see anybody denying it.

It must be true.

I think I've used the Clothesline from Hell for a created rassler in every game I own that has running finishers. Big fan.

[Savio]

Was watching Austin Vs Chono from 1992 to see the infamous inverted piledriver of doom and it was even worse than the Owen one if you think about it even for a second.

Austin not only drops Chono on his head, he then leads him back to his feet by the head while Chono is doubled over with numb hands.
He has to physically finish the match and go over with an STF while he's clearly fucked from the neck injury.

Austin has some balls being mad at Owen after that.
Jesus Christ.

First question caught my attention.

They talk about Backlund not having the promo ability at that time, and I always feel like I have to bring up his interactions with Flair and Race, both of whom made him really look like a blubbering idiot. He had a hard time at that point putting a sentence together, and here he is with two different guys who could sell the match in about a minute and a half.

Oddly enough, it reminded me of the contract signing between Shida and Thunder Rosa, how one of them blew the other out of the water with their personality. The other one wore a kimono, and that's what gets the EVP in charge of that division a boner.

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol that's my question by the way.

The fact that Shida is one of their best options for champion speaks volumes about the lack of depth in that division.

He and Jack came over to the WWF in the summer of 84 and feuded with Murdoch and Adonis for a bit before Jack had enough of the cold weather and retired. Gerald retired from the ring and had been with the company ever since.

Wonder if that means WWE is moving away from scouting the college wrestling scene since that was Briscoe's specialty.

Supposedly there is a very good wrestler in college that WWE was eyeing a lot and was getting some Cena-like comparisons for potential stardom in the company.

WWE somehow decided NXT UK didn't have enough titles since a new one is arriving for the brand's return to weekly tv soon.

Once they add the new Heritage Cup title, that would give them 19 titles spread across 5 brands (RAW, SD, 205 Live, NXT, & NXT UK).

[Seanny One Ball]

Why would they even scout amateur wrestlers? Just scout any big bastard that can move.

[drave]

big bastards typically can't move.


amateur wrestlers usually have the fitness and agility. They then go to the PowerPlant to be coached on excellent scripted promos and get a new, weird hillbilly name that involves McGillicutty or Cotton.

Seems Ronda Rousey might be making her return to WWE soon.

Recently was seen training for wrestling again with Roddy Piper's daughter.

Ronda Rousey hasn't been seen in a WWE ring since WrestleMania 36 when she lost in the main event to Becky Lynch. Throughout her entire WWE career, Ronda paid tribute to "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, the legendary wrestler who gifted Rousey his moniker.

For the first time, Ronda was in a wrestling ring but alongside her was the daughter of Roddy Piper, Teal Piper. Courtesy of photos on Piper's Instagram account, Ronda can be seen with Piper in a ring at JLFX Studios in Burbank, California:

Can you imagine Big Show's career if he looked like that the majority of his career.

[Gerard]

Can you imagine Big Show's career if he looked like that the majority of his career.

He's alleged to have gotten liposuction prior to his wwe debut as he looked much heavier in his last wcw appearance a few months previous.

He looked good there but probably still would have ended up being a heel\face flip flop machine regardless.

[Bad News Gertner]

He quickly started to look like shit to the point where he was forgotten about during the Invasion angle despite having big runs with both companies. Lol remember the tag team with Billy Gunn

[GD]

I didn't know until recently that he was sent to OVW after his first stint as WWF Champion.

May as well trade her since Carmella is coming in and taking her gimmick.

[Gerard]

I didn't know until recently that he was sent to OVW after his first stint as WWF Champion.

Yup, and had legit weigh ins to lose weight, he alleges that JR at the time wasn't a fan of him as it was him that sent him there. His biggest legit weight was near 540 during his ECW run, he looked every bit of it as well.

[Droford]

Mandy Rose got traded to RAW..

Poor Otis..first his MITB contract is shown to be expired..now he loses his GF

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder if that Mandy trade is also related to the recent rumors of WWE releasing Billie Kay potentially soon since they supposedly no longer care about keeping her on the roster now that the IIconics split up.

[Seanny One Ball]

Did this mook just ask why amateur wrestlers make good pro wrestlers?


No, I asked why they even bother scouting amateur wrestlers.
Amateur wrestling has nothing to do with professional wrestling so you'd be as well lining up a group of any athletes and teaching them.

Scouting amateurs of all kinds would be a smarter move.

[Fignuts]

Amateur wrestling obviously isn’t the same thing as pro wrestling but the skill sets of amateur wrestlers translate really well. Amateur wrestlers can make it look real because they know how to do it for real. Not to mention the fact that wrestling requires some of the most rigorous conditioning of any sport out there. There’s a reason why guys like Angle and Benjamin are such machines and it’s not just good genes.

I mean if you just want big bastards to lumber around the ring like a moose giving birth than sure grab your talent from anywhere. But a good roster has a mixture of styles and if you want to fill a spot with a quick technical grappler, amateur wrestlers are naturally disposed to that style.

[Emperor Smeat]

Apparently if it wasn't for Hulu and other platforms, WWE likely would have cancelled 205 Live a long while ago according to PWInsider.

WWE manages to make just enough money from the brand to justify its continue existence despite being the most ignored or forgotten brand the company has.

Q - Why does WWE even keep 205 Live around? It's down to 30 minutes and it runs in circles.

A - We are told the company derives revenue from the series being on Hulu and other platform, so that's why.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

The women’s revolution was kind of a scam huh

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I haven’t followed WWE closely since the Rumble but it seems like there were four legitimate women’s tag teams: Sasha/Bayley, the Kabuki Warriors, the Iiconics, and Fire and Desire. And now none of them are teams. Is that right?

[Emperor Smeat]

Yeup. I'd also add in Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss since that pairing seems to be done after Friday's episode of SmackDown.

Only established women's tag team in the division right now is the Riott Squad but Liv Morgan and Ruby Riott only recently got back together as a pairing.

Not even NXT and their large pool of women talent have any real established teams on hand.

[Fignuts]

The women’s revolution was kind of a scam huh

Always was.

Small handful of women had some great matches in NXT, and they jumped on marketing it as a “revolution” despite the fact that the majority of their female workers were the shits. That hasn’t really changed.

[Lock Jaw]

Loved the women's revolution.... for me it only seemed to "die off" only recently along with the rest of wrestling in general for me.

[Volare]

I'm going to seriously be pissed about Billie Kay being released...yes her bff's husband is in AEW and she can go there....but I don't know it doesn't make sense to me.

[Jordan]

Who else was like "WHO THE FUCK IS TRAVIS SCOTT AND DOES HE LIKE MICK FOLEY OR WHAT?"

[Evil Vito]

I'm going to seriously be pissed about Billie Kay being released...yes her bff's husband is in AEW and she can go there....but I don't know it doesn't make sense to me.

I remember during the big cut down day a few months back, Billie was rumored to be released and that ended up obviously not being true, but there were never rumors about Peyton. She’s been earmarked for a push for ages, and I really don’t understand why. They’re both hot, their personalities are similar, neither is particularly great in the ring. But Vince somehow has decided one is salvageable and one isn’t.

Maybe instead of being released Billie will be sent to Smackdown as the other end of the Mandy Rose trade, but they’re clearly not gonna do anything with her.

[Volare]

I want to know who the idiot was that ran after Moxley...

I wonder how long they will continue with the women’s Rumble match. They don’t have the numbers for it and I dunno how many more times they can trot out Kelly Kelly as a surprise entrant.

[Bad News Gertner]

It was pretty bad last year. Women aren't built for over the top Battle Royals. They do the same "wrestler enters, does a big move and then moves on to something else", but they botch the move half the time.

Dunno why it suddenly popped into my head.... but I only just now got that Chris Saban's whole "Hail Saban!" thing was supposed to be like Hail Satan

[Emperor Smeat]

That list of WWE's women talent is a microcosm of their atrocious call-up system since NXT shouldn't be hogging as much talent as they've been doing in recent years at the cost of improving RAW and SD.

Add like 3-4 women from NXT to RAW and SD each and both main roster women's divisions get a nice boost in depth and quality while NXT can go back to their old ways of focusing on building up the next set of women stars.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It was pretty bad last year. Women aren't built for over the top Battle Royals. They do the same "wrestler enters, does a big move and then moves on to something else", but they botch the move half the time.

To get over the top, you often have women bouncing themselves up via the bottom rope too. The Rumble is basically a big brawl, and the women aren't trained to be excellent brawlers. They should have a gimmick that works towards whatever strengths they have. It's not progressive to just give them the men's gimmicks and say "Have fun."

A kickstarter has been started for a comic book starring The Killer Bees


https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/squaredcircle/the-killer-bees-1980s-wwf-pro-wrestling-tag-team-legends

[Emperor Smeat]

According to Matt Cardona, WWE has been cheapskates for years in regards to paying their talent royalties from the sales of their wrestling games.

They paid their talent well in royalties for the first year a WWE game had DLC packs and then afterwards kept cutting smaller and smaller royalties checks over the years despite only WWE 2K20 suffering badly in terms of sales.

Matt Cardona won't be in the newest WWE video game, but you're still going to be able to play as him virtually in 2020 in RetroMania Arcade ...

"Literally the day we were released somebody from RetroMania reached out," Cardona said. "Maybe it was the day after. Who didn’t love WrestleFest, right? An iconic piece of, I think, video game history, but definitely of my childhood. So, to be in the official sequel, I just said I could do it. Sign me up, man. Where do I sign?"

Being in video games was nothing new to Cardona, who has appeared in annual editions of WWE games for a decade-plus. He looked back fondly on his love for games growing up.

I was a huge video game guy growing up," said Cardona. "I think around n64 I kinda stopped because things became way too hard for me. But, even now, the other day I was playing Revenge on N64. Those games, No Mercy, WrestleMania 2000, but then once it starts getting into X-Box, Playstation 2, it just becomes too difficult for me and too time consuming. If you play No Mercy you can just do a Royal Rumble, you know what I’m saying? But, then you gotta do Career Mode, I’m like, “Oh, my gosh, this is too much.”

The pay to be in video games outside of WWE might not be near what it was in the company, but according to Cardona those numbers were shrinking anyway.

"Listen, this is another funny story, so the first year we were downloadable. Which, whatever. I’ll take it. Very, very excited. This was a dream come true. You want to have a t-shirt. You want to be in a video game. You want to have an action figure. That first royalty check, I’ll never forget, my dad called me and told me what it was. I was in my hotel room and I dropped to my bed, “What?” I couldn’t believe it. Then the years after that went drastically down and down and down. I don’t know exactly what happened, but still very cool the fact that we get paid to be in a video game. When you think about it like that, I get to be in a video game and I’m getting paid? Pretty cool," said Cardona.

They pulled a similar stunt when the Network launched in regards to their shenanigans with royalties checks and pocketing a bigger share of the added revenues going into the company. Those shenanigans ended up being one of the big factors in CM Punk's departure from WWE.

WWE' is doing something similar with their NXT UK brand for their upcoming Heritage Cup tournament since unlike regular WWE & NXT style matches, those tournament matches will only be held under British Rounds rules.

I'd suggest WWE books The Forum for WM weekend -- it's adjacent to Sofi Stadium and seats around the same number of people as The Staples Center.

Actually....

I'm not sure WM will have a crowd (at least an in-person crowd)

They did just lay-off the live events staff and WM tix usually go on-sale in November...

[Evil Vito]

There's no point in having WM in a football stadium without a crowd. Just save money and do it in a regular arena, probably in Florida or Texas where they're allowing limited crowds.

[slik]

I could also see Vince giving it to Tampa for 37 and bumping Sofi to 38

[Droford]

Vince is foiled yet again from holding WM in LA in a large stadium where the Rams play

[Droford]

I could also see Vince giving it to Tampa for 37 and bumping Sofi to 38

the key to that is if the NFL gets a crowd for the SB there 2 months earlier.

[Droford]

Just realized the solution

Wrestlemania goes to Saudi Arabia

They're lifting the travel ban on January 1sr, 2021

Wade Barrett has officially signed on to become NXT's new commentator.

[Emperor Smeat]

NWA's lucky they signed a deal with United Wrestling Network for their new weekly PPV series since they've been bleeding talent and barely making any money during this coronavirus pandemic.

Out of the notable promotions in the US, they likely were going to be the first to fold or be sold off if their monetary situation didn't improve soon.

[Emperor Smeat]

According to Post Wrestling, WWE lost another notable big supporter of them in NBC's upper management.

USA Network's President is leaving both the network and NBC Universal soon and had been the middle man between WWE and USA & NBC.

Chris McCumber, who served as the President of the USA Network and Syfy will be leaving NBCUniversal after 19 years. McCumber was considered the point person in the relationship between the network and WWE.

McCumber had been with the USA Network since 2001 and was named its president in 2011. Deadline noted in its story that he spearheaded the negotiations with WWE with their latest deal for Raw believed to be worth $265 million annually for the five-year pact that went into effect last October.

Honestly Jim has been sick since he went to Japan for Tokyo Dome this year. He's one of my favorite wrestling pundits.

[Emperor Smeat]

Seems Forgotten Sons banishment from Smackdown and WWE television won't be ending any time soon since Jaxson Ryker continues to be a huge moron on Twitter due to his controversial social media antics.

Newest thing he's venting about is people wearing masks in public to help combat the coronavirus. He's one of those types that thinks wearing a mask means your giving up freedom to the government. Before that he was sprouting a bunch of QAnon-related nonsense on Twitter and social media.

:lol: at the Zombie's promo.

That being the first match on the show made me quickly realize at the time Vince didn't actually care about ECW's revival and only bothered making it a third brand because of the lingering success from the first One Night Stand show.

Also started feeling afterwards that some of the stuff he mentioned about ECW in the Rise & Fall documentary were very likely BS.

[Lock Jaw]

Christian the best ECW star ever

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol. I heard Scy Fy wanted a science fiction element. They were originally gonna cane an Alien but the network said no so The Zombie made his debut.

[GD]

What was the consensus on the redesigned ECW Championship? Was it well received or panned? Personally, I thought it looked quite good on Christian.

https://w7.pngwing.com/pngs/155/201/png-transparent-christian-cage-ecw-world-heavyweight-championship-wwe-championship-wwe-night-of-champions-wwe-tshirt-boxing-glove-sports.png

[Bad News Gertner]

Instead of the blue dot , Christian should have worn that massive belt around his face

[Emperor Smeat]

Early WWE ECW did have some good moments like the time WWE decided to run a show at the Hammerstein Ballroom and the crowd completely shat on the Big Show vs. Batista match because they came to see ECW style action and not WWE style sports entertainment.

That might have also been the last time WWE ran a show at the Hammerstein Ballroom at least for their ECW brand.

Also RVD being a double WWE and ECW champion even if it only lasted for a brief time because of weed issues. He was the only other person besides Cena who made holding the Spinner style WWE title look cool.

[GD]

Instead of the blue dot , Christian should have worn that massive belt around his face

:lol:

I feel bad for Christian at times. While he's seen some success in form of championship victories, the way he was booked in WWE always left a sour taste in my mouth.

[GD]

At the time, I felt it was very bold of them to announce Rob Van Dam as the new ECW Champion after he defeated John Cena at the second ONS PPV.

[Lock Jaw]

RVD just the worst

[Fignuts]

RVD was so good in ECW and yet so fucking boring in WWE.

[Fignuts]

New ECW title was a good looking belt but it didn’t fit ECW at all.

[Emperor Smeat]

The redesigned WWE ECW belt looked okay at the time but in a way also ended up being the forefather to the bland looking title designs WWE would debut years later like the current RAW and SD tag title belts.

Its like WWE wanted their own version of WCW's Big Gold belt for their ECW brand but made it look weak by comparison due to the choice for an all-sliver solid design belt.

[drave]

and then they re-created it. we are living in the re-make era.

[Lock Jaw]

Imagine it.... you have the brauds like Bayley/Sasha who came in idolizing rassling and wanting to do serious rassling...

Yoko was about the first large man at that time that he never slammed either, usually that would be a big talking point as to if it could be done going into a match. It's funny looking at the slams done to Yoko it seemed to be an almost impossible task, he just had so much girth that turning him into the proper position was near impossible so the slams just never looked right, slamming Andre by comparison was easy.

Bix and Zellner uncovered some insane stuff involving Racketeering that went to court involving ECW that nobody has ever talked about involving video game maker Acclaim.


Here's the case file. It's really interesting. Heyman is something else.

Bix and Zellner uncovered some insane stuff involving Racketeering that went to court involving ECW that nobody has ever talked about involving video game maker Acclaim.


Here's the case file. It's really interesting. Heyman is something else.

https://casetext.com/case/annodeus-inc-v-ciarkowski

So what’s alleged here is that Acclaim says Heyman and his financial people duped Acclaim into lending them hundreds of thousands of dollars and agreeing to license their shitty video game. Acclaim says Heyman & Co. lied to them about their annual income projection (ECW said a $2.5 million profit, Acclaim says it was actually a $500,000 loss) and that they promised them monies that were already promised to somebody else.

All this link says though is that ECW moved to dismiss Acclaim’s complaint on a technical issue (which is a standard thing defendants try to do) and the court said no. So I can’t tell just from this link if what Acclaim alleged is true or what was the ultimate outcome of this case.

But based on what the wrestlers alleged about Heyman near the end, it wouldn’t surprise me if it was all true.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Ok upon further research it looks like they settled for $525,000. Not bad.

[Bad News Gertner]

So more or less this account is pretty accurate

[Droford]

Since no one cares about nxt

I feel like them giving Kyle the title shot is the first step in breaking up Undisputed Era. Might actually be the 2nd if you consider Strong went outside UE for tag partner

new wwe videogame getting bad reviews (again)

https://www.gamesradar.com/wwe-2k-battlegrounds-review/

https://www.ign.com/articles/wwe-2k-battlegrounds-review

https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/wwe-2k-battlegrounds

[Emperor Smeat]

A 66 average score feels a tad bit too low for WWE 2K Battlegrounds but I wouldn't really go any higher than a 70 or 75 for it.

The cons listed in GamesRadar's review are spot on regarding the biggest issues this game has even as a budget title.

The worst might be the "always on" online nature of the game since if you lose connection during a match or play session, the game doesn't keep track of your progression meaning you get nothing for any matches played. Had that happen to me earlier today while I was playing career mode where it lost connection late into a match and the game and refused to give me any exp or in-game currency for it afterwards.

[Helmsphere]

Its still a fun game, but yeah I agree with all the points and the grinding issue for characters

[Emperor Smeat]

Seems one of the reasons why Vince and WWE were being dickheads to their talent regarding outside third party services like Twitch and Cameo was due to they were working on their own Cameo-like service and wanting their cut of all talent earnings.

One of the reasons WWE issued an edict for talents to end their third-party relationships with platforms like Cameo may have been revealed as the company announced their own virtual meet and greets. The official announcement reads:

That deserves to be destroyed thrown in the garbage and burned to ashes.

[Emperor Smeat]

Apparently Mia Yim and Mercedes Martinez's new names for Retribution are "Reckoning" (Yim) and "Retaliation" (Martinez).

Also WWE sort of forgot that Yim's new name is the same name as Damien Priest's finisher so its likely Priest's move might be getting a new name soon.

Man, I remember HATING The Dark Knight. What a shitty Batman movie. Why couldn't it be like the Adam West Batman? And those Avenger movies sure suck.

Fucking hate that I can order food on my phone now. Or find someone to fuck without actually going out to club. And don't get me started on not needing to carry around cash and being able to make immediate transactions between accounts on the go. Man! EVERYTHING was better as a kid!

So pissed off they can treat my elderly mom with modern medicine too. Fucking sucks. I liked it better when she DIDN'T have a hope.

Hated that new RTJ album. Hated that new video game. Hate fucking Ozark and having access to streaming services on my phone.

Papa Shango, IRS and Tugboat were shit, by the way. And they're not blameless in why people make fun of wrestling.

Meltzer said Braun Strowman vs Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns vs The Fiend, Bayley vs Sasha and Otis vs Brock have been discussed as a possible WrestleMania 37 main-events.

[Emperor Smeat]

Meh on that first matchup but Reigns vs. Fiend sounds interesting and something that's been rumored to be in the works for some time now.

Going to be very interesting in seeing how they make the Fiend a face considering the character is anything but that. Only fear is WWE watering the Fiend down a lot to make that potential idea happen.

[slik]

The Fiend is doing this for the WWE Universe!

[Lock Jaw]

The Fiend will become The Friend

[drave]

And The Friend will come down to the Firefly Funhouse music. He will change his finisher to a hug after a kiss on the forehead, then give his opponent the big W via walking out of the match waving and smiling to his friend.
