So what happened was, someone found out Bix got a PPP loan in April and was trying to shame/claim Bix committed fraud. It was later discovered that Joey Ryan sent this dude this info and was later "outed". Turds like Brian Last retweeted the original post and it became a big deal, even though what Bix did was perfectly legal. A dude got a loan for $7000 and wrestling twitter exploded.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I was thinking yesterday as I had my morning coffee how potentially awesome a heel run for Goldberg could be right now. You never think about it because a heel run was so incredibly stupid in 2000. But imagine a super-rich asshole super-athlete who has all these special requirements written into his contract to protect his greatest assets — his body.

It’d be pretty funny to hear him ragging on fans who want their Superstars to break their necks to prove themselves. He doesn’t get paid by the hour, he gets paid by the win and he’s twice the age of some of these fans, but twice the man and their girlfriends know it.

Would be totally fine with that Goldberg winning the WWE Title. The first wrestler in history to win a World Title in four different decades. “Who’s a flash in the pan now?!”

Heel Goldberg vs. Big E for the WWE Title at WrestleMania, please.

[GD]

That'd make Goldberg the oldest WWE Champion in history. Even Mr. McMahon was younger than him when he won the WWF Championship.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I’ve got this weird feeling in my bones that the WWE are going to renegotiate with FOX and get SmackDown upped to 3 hours, possibly starting at 7pm. This would get them more money and push Rampage to being the 4th hour of wrestling that night, hurting them.

There’s been some talk that they will try to get a third hour on Fox Sports 1 after SmackDown, but I think the smarter move is to go earlier.

[Sepholio]

I don't really want another Goldberg title reign ever, but if we get one it would def be better by a wide margin were he a heel.

At the same time I think I'd also rather have him as the oldest WWE champion ever instead of Vince. But Vince having the record is probably about as close to a guarantee as you can get that no one will ever break it.

They should absolutely go earlier. Going any later will lead to a drop off of viewers for the 3rd hour, regardless of any impact Rampage might have on it.

I love me some Goldberg, but the unfortunate reality is that the live audience that consider themselves smart have been effected by diminishing returns. It’s been 5 years (!) since Goldberg did the stuff with Brock, which was magic. It’s hard to promote a part-timer who comes in for title matches every now and then to be this super-likeable entity in a world where “deserving it” matters to a vocal section of the fandom.

I think it would work if Goldberg did more stuff like the Ziggler program, or he set his sights on a loud-mouth like Miz. But even then, you’re just bringing a guy out from mothballs to do shtick, which even if it is cool to a lot of people, is going to make that audience segment groan. At first he was massively over, but then you got the feeling that the audience was TRYING to hate it.

As a heel it would be wildly fresh. Goldberg is at a stage where he doesn’t give a fuck (nor should he), and he’s actually a pretty decent talker by default, because they just let him go out there and be. I think he would absolutely kill a spoiled star main event run gimmick. Kind of like Douchy Dave Batista, but probably without the skinny jeans.

From his end, he’s got a cushy deal now. But if he cares about “legacy,” if he wants to get his son into the business, and even staying in ring shape — I think a more condensed and temporary run, instead of pacing things out with scarce appearances over years, could actually be amazing shit.

With Vince — I don’t think he actually would give a shit about being the oldest anything, honestly. He’s an idiosyncratic individual. He hates being mentioned in Hall of Fame speeches and has even made it known to people he doesn’t want to go in himself, even though, objectively, he’s a no-brainer top billing. If someone in shape can carry the load, I think he’d love to be knocked off the totem pole there.

[Mr. Nerfect]

They should absolutely go earlier. Going any later will lead to a drop off of viewers for the 3rd hour, regardless of any impact Rampage might have on it.

That would definitely be the smart thing to do. Rampage should be going 7-8, but they don’t have the weight right now. Lock down that hour so they can’t take it and get ahead of you. Draw out the evening and while 3 hours would hurt anyway, it’s not going later. Could even still sit around 1.8-2.2 million viewers. The first hour might even be higher and draw up the rating.

It seems FOX airs “local broadcasting” at 7pm. Don’t know how valuable that is to them. WWE could realistically make a great offer there for a 8, maybe 9 figures.

[Sepholio]

re: Goldberg

If he got in real ring shape where he could go for more than 3-5 minutes doing the nuclear signature move overload then I would absolutely be down for him to have another little run. Him showing up every few months as it is doesn't really bother me, it's how fast he gets gassed. I know he's getting up there but he could absolutely be in much better shape with a little cardio training.

I also think working some programs with people smaller than a Roman Reigns, Lesnar, Lashley etc would go a long ways towards putting some of that shine back on him. He looks like he really struggles to lift some of these "bigger" guys. I wouldn't mind seeing him in a program against AJ tbh; I think AJ could absolutely pull a gem out of Goldberg and having him always looking over his shoulder for Omos would definitely add to the appeal, especially when he finally spears the big man into oblivion during his showdown with AJ.

I fantasy booked an AJ/Goldberg program for a WrestleMania once. AJ went into full delusional heel mode and talked about how he’s the greatest wrestler from Georgia ever. He brought back the Big Gold Belt as a symbol of his greatness. Goldberg took issue with that and AJ would bump around like a speedball for him. I’m totally down for that. :y:

With guys like Goldberg and Lesnar, I get the perception is that they’re “lazy” or just cashing in or whatever, but I actually think the time is now for both of them to make real runs of it while they can. I’m not a trained wrestler or anything, but I actually think (especially with Goldberg) that doing a little more could actually take a lot of the stress off. Being out there two or three times a year is so damn sparse that I think it could actually be harder than being a guy who works 12-14 times a year or whatever.

With Brock, if they’re building up to him and Gable Steveson, it makes sense for him to be a big deal, and maybe not anything past that (unless he really wants to). So if I’m WWE, I kind of go “all in” on Brock to hype that. More dates in the short-term. Maybe a long-term deal he’ll get paid on way after the fact. I use him on television in matches, because that’s “special” now (his match against Kofi was nothing for a reason). It could help boost ratings and also shake the “Brock only does big shows...yawn” stigma about him. Put the Universal Title on him and do six-man tags on SmackDown with him and The Viking Raiders or New Day against Roman & The Usos. It may not draw in three years, but if you’re done with Brock by and large after Steveson, why not use him to prop things up short-term? You can see life past him now in a way that you couldn’t before.

A thing I love about Minoru Suzuki is that the two big out-of-wrestling passions I know of his are fashion (I believe he owns a clothing store in Harajuku) and One Piece, one of the longest-running and most popular anime/manga series of all time. And it just so happened that the creator of One Piece also has a fondness for classic pro wrestling, which led to Suzuki appearing as a character that's basically just himself under a slightly different name in one of the specials.

WWE has decided to monetise Talking Smack which is going to air after SmackDown and Bryan Alvarez is already being an ass about it on Twitter.

WWE putting more content on the air for more money is not “Weird.” It’s not predatory towards AEW and doesn’t mean they’re a major concern. WWE likes money. Yeah, fucking weird.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Some people are correctly calling out AEW fanboys having a cry about Talking Smack being on FS1 next week by pointing out that whenever the WWE gets moved to FS1, FOX sweetens the deal by giving them extra content on FS1. This is pretty standard for the WWE/FOX relationship, but AEW hardcores have to make it all about them.

Can you blame them? The dumb AEW owner believes the same shit.

"Oh Vince aggressively added an extra 30 minutes to Smackdown to hurt us!". Vince McMahon can not to tell TV companies when to air his shows. If Fox wanted an extra half hour of better ratings on FS1 then they would normally get by adding an extra 30 minutes of Smackdown, then there will be an extra 30 minutes of Smackdown.

Such a bullshit spin by Tony to rally fans.

I’m not trying to be an ass here, but doesn’t it sound like the guy is always hurt? I know he was out with illness at one point, but hasn’t he had two major injuries in 2021? He’s getting to Samoa Joe levels.

He's getting older. You can only take insane bumps for so long before it catches up to you. Same thing is starting to happen to Will Ospreay, though he at least modified his style a bit after moving up to heavyweight.

I don't really recall the previous injuries as I don't follow that promotion very much, only occasionally watch some matches here and there. He did have pneumonia I think back in the summer though which sidelined him for a couple months, and he wasn't fully back to strength when they brought him back.

This particular injury doesn't seem like it will be too major in the long run though. He apparently wanted to finish the match but the ref decided against that and called it off. Dunno if you've seen it, but he did the Phoenix Splash from the top and Okada rolled out of the way and when Ibushi braced himself for the miss something happened to his arm. It was speculated that he had broken his arm at first, but now it seems as though he just had a fluke dislocation of his shoulder. Will prob miss a couple months of action I imagine.

I “respect” Ibushi. He’s clearly over and whatever. His style has always been “too much” for me though. As a main event guy, he’s several major steps behind Tanahashi and Okada. Haven’t seen that much of what he’s done in the past year though.

It would suit him well to stop acting like he’s 30 and trying to get over and more like he’s 40 and is over though.

If it’s a freak thing, I get it. Thanks for the details. It just seems like banking on him right now is just too unwieldy though. If he makes Wrestle Kingdom, I’d be all for him going over deserter Kenny Omega in a match that a lot of people want to see, but I don’t think I’d use him near the top of cards right now. He’s so stop-start.

If Omega isn’t an option because of Covid or whatever, I’d put someone like Jay White or ZSJ over him to build them as Okada contenders. Maybe even just a solid win for Tanahashi to get him back into the picture.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Lol yeah. He and Brian Christopher were doing "worked shoots" on each other and Brian said something about Doug's family that really upset him.

I had only seen the brief clip of him saying the rape part and then laughing about it and like yeah total heel move. But seeing the whole segment where the crowd was cheering him was so bizarre. And he also accused the promoter of smoking crack backstage! What a babyface!

Wait, women wrestle?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I love ragging on AEW, but they have the similar problem to WWE right now. They’ve only got a few good moments that go to highlight how terrible the rest of the show is. With Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns being the best story in pro-wrestling, it only goes to show people what they are going to miss. I think SmackDown is going to see a pretty notable drop with Brock being gone until the Royal Rumble.

What else do they have on SmackDown? They haven’t got anything ready for when Brock isn’t there. Drew is talented, but he’s not going to have the same dynamic as Brock in that program. And what heels are there for him to beat? They kind of need someone to come out of nowhere.

I guess they do Raw vs. SmackDown at this time of year. I don’t think Big E is ready to throw himself at the feet of Reigns in that program though. And I don’t think people care about Raw vs. SmackDown enough.

This fucking roster split, man. And their inability to generate interest in things outside that top program. The guys coming out of Crown Jewel with the most firepower are Edge and Goldberg. They don’t have dates on Goldberg and Edge and Reigns has been done, plus Edge is on Raw anyway.

Roman is going to be magnificent gloating about Brock being gone. But who can really step into that program with him? They need to get their head out of their asses and iron this shit out so there can be some flow.

The only thing I can recommend is either doing Big E and Roman as captains of respective teams. That way you might be able to build some faces and heels up alongside them. Big E being opposite Xavier Woods might actually be interesting. Drew can be there butting heads with Roman. Edge can be unhinged on the Raw side. Maybe that can be interesting enough with cross-pollination or promos on each side.

The other idea would be for Roman to deny Big E’s challenge...unless he ups the ante. You think you can hang with The Big Dog? Actually put your belt on the line. Winner takes all. Now that Brock is gone I’m taking over Raw too. Title for title might actually keep some people engaged. You can have Kofi & Woods backing Big E’s cause on SmackDown.

I dunno. The best thing I can say about the WWE’s direction right now is that I’m morbidly curious to see what they pull out of their asses. I suppose the Roman/Big E stuff will be pretty pedestrian and the rest of the card looks like:

* Edge, Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley and...maybe Rey Mysterio, Keith Lee, Kevin Owens or AJ Styles against Drew McIntyre, Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston, Sheamus and Jinder Mahal or Sami Zayn. I hate the heels and faces all working together, but you just know they will put all the arch-nemeses on the same side. I’d prefer a heel team from Raw AND a face team from it where they can all get competitive with each other and maybe do their own televised Survivor Series matches.

* Becky vs. either Sasha or Charlotte, depending on how things go with Charlotte. At least that’s interesting now.

* A women’s elimination match.

* Happy Corbin vs. Damian Priest, so Priest can beat a heel.

* RKBro vs. The Usos

* A tag team Survivor, which may be something like Street Profits, AJ & Omos, Rey & Dominik, Ziggler & Roode and Alpha Academy against Hit Row, Viking Raiders, Jinder & Shanky, Nakamura & Boogs and...fuck maybe New Day or The Bar. Is there another team I’m forgetting? Wait, Garza & Carrillo.

I guess it could be solid from an in-ring. I dunno.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Putting together face vs. heel teams, leaving guys open for tag team clutter.

Drew, Kofi, Xavier, Cesaro & Jeff Hardy from SmackDown to go against Seth, Bobby Lashley, Shelton, Cedric & Austin Theory or Karrion Kross from Raw. Probably Theory.

Edge, Balor, Owens, Keith Lee &... I’m drawing blanks here. John Morrison? Veer? Fuck. To go against Sami Zayn, Sheamus, Ridge Holland...I give up.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It’s going to be Edge, Seth, Balor, Bobby & AJ against Drew, Kofi, Xavier, Sheamus & Jinder, isn’t it? Maybe they expand it to include Owens & Zayn on their sides, and maybe Theory & Hardy as well.

Ugh, why? This sort of shit holds everyone back so much.

[Mr. Nerfect]

With the WWE running six stadium shows in 2022, it would make sense for them to really ramp up their product. I predicted the XFL would force their hand to create more stars. They tried with Drew, but then Covid hit and the XFL was gone. These shows provide new outside stimulus to actually create content that is going to get people into those buildings.

It’s sad the WWE needs that push to create better content. But I do understand the idea behind having a sustainable product that isn’t affected too adversely when peaks drop off. But the downside is that you whittle down an audience over time. But then you do get to hype them up later. If they’re willing to bite.

It’ll be interesting to see how the WWE handle their next few PPVs. Survivor Series and Day 1 are going to be especially intriguing as to how they handle duration, structure and the booking. It might provide insight into what their model is going to be. But I think they should be doing something so they don’t get egg on their faces by not filling up stadiums or whatever.

I couldn't agree more. Such blatant disregard of kayfabe is so inline with post modernism bullshit that's been in circulation for decades now. Big E should be reprehended and eventually made to drop the belt to someone deserving like Timmy Thatcher or Chad Gable. Imagining a 30-minute slugfest with Oney Lorcan for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Even better, have him drop the title to Goldberg in less than 10 seconds. That feels appropriate for holding everyone back.

[drave]

What's the deal with it though? Because he side-eyed the potential winner? Like, foreshadowing a future event?

I started writing a response to the “How would you fix WWE” thread from about a year ago that floated the idea of WWE having 5 “tent pole” events on PPV (not on the network) throughout the year that essentially served as the foundation of the booking structure. These huge stadium shows could do the same thing.

[Evil Vito]

Lol I remember in one of the first AEW episodes they made a point to show someone backstage. Think it might’ve been Brandi. The camera was behind her and they spun around to show that she was standing directly in front of the monitor instead of at an awkward angle.

She was soooooo good.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think the casual channel hopper wouldn't give a fuck how some dude was looking at a TV. I dunno man.

This is the first stuff a casual fan notices. Other than “he didn’t really hit the guy,” the most off-putting stuff to casuals is the stuff that seems so inorganic.

I know someone who checked out SmackDown post WrestleMania in 2018. There was a word that kept being used because Vince was telling everyone to use it. Something like “heinous.” Turned them off the product because someone said it in a promo, they said it on commentary and someone said it in an interview.

Magic cameras, magic intros (AEW is guilty of these too) and unnatural conduct are exactly the sort of things casual fans care about.

:y:

Redefining these tent poles should theoretically give them things to build to and come from. It’s not an unreasonable way to think about them.

[drave]

I'm a casual fan, by definition... shit, probably even less because I don't watch even regularly. I had zero clue that this was some "young bucks" thing, at all.


To me, it was some dude side-eyeing his potential next competitor. That's what I get from a picture as a filthy less-than-casual fan

[ron the dial]

it's not even a young bucks thing. they were making fun of the backstage segments in the E (and probably other places) for doing that same sort of "watch on a screen at an angle" for years.

[#1-norm-fan]

It’s always weird when WWE tries to make fun of themselves. Especially when it’s a thing they continue to do after parodying it. You can’t simultaneously “get it” and not get it. That’s not allowed.

[#1-norm-fan]

Of course, they could just go full-on Tommy Wiseau. I’d be for that. Stop trying to be “occasionally serious” with ultimately meaningless storylines and long matches and pitch the entire company as the worlds greatest producer of stuff you and your friends can MST3K to.

[Big Vic]

WWE announcer Greg Hamilton isn’t too pleased with Westside Gunn sampling his voice, and the ring announcer publicly made it known that he’s legally going after the Griselda titan.

Hamilton claimed in a now-deleted Instagram post that he will call WWE’s lawyers if Westside Gunn apologizes for using his voice. “Well @westsidegunn @buffalokidsgallery let’s hope that since you STOLE my voice for your incoherent kindergarten fables…that you saved up enough delivering for Door Dash….because….You….are…,” he wrote, adding an angry faced emoji to substitute a word. “You’ll be paying me for years….apologize and I’ll think about not collecting every dime for the rest of your life….or I can just get WWE lawyers….that’s ok too. Settle with my lawyer. And don’t EVER use my voice again….so wrong.”

Despite taking down the post, the WWE announcer continued to allege in different comments that the longer Westside Gunn ignores him, the more expensive the possible lawsuit will cost. “It was 20k, but at noon eastern it’s $30k and we go to court,” Hamilton wrote in one comment. He added in another comment, “Tick… tock… the longer this goes, the longer I have in court… you ready to settle or do u wanna dance with WWE lawyers? It’s a slam dunk. Price goes up by the day.”

Hamilton sounds annoying, I'd release him too.

There’s nothing unattainable, financially, by him [MBS], in any respect, so the sky’s the limit, and hats off to him because we catch a lot of sh*t for going over there, but as far as I’m concerned, we’re part of a revolution.
