So, Ted DiBiase and his sons, QB Brett Favre and others are named in a lawsuit filed by the state of Mississippi to recoup mis-spent welfare funds. I guess the gist of it is that they all got money they weren't supposed to. ESPN got the article here if you want a read.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Uhhh, Punk…your moment in the sun was over a decade ago.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Venom is Paul Diamond

Fascinated by this time in Shawn Michaels’ life. He must have really liked Diamond to come out and do something with him. Physically he was good to go pretty early, but mentally he was sorting some shit out (or just waiting on his WWF/E contract).

[Bad News Gertner]

He and Diamond tagged in Texas All Star when they were first breaking in and later crossed paths in AWA, possibly Memphis and the WWF so the two go way back. It's too bad Diamond couldn't keep his shit together. He was really good

[Crippla]

Definitely not Schiavone. Probably no one noteworthy.

Yeah I figured since he was in WCW at this time but you gotta admit the voice is pretty similar.

[#1-norm-fan]

I can KINDA hear it a little bit when he says “through the table”.

[slik]

PWInsider has broken the story Roman Reigns is taking most of the summer off. His last show will be June 19th and then he will be taking the rest of June, July and August off.

Good thing WWE didn't just build everything around Brock and Roman...oh wait.

wonder what crappy movie he will be in.

[XL]

Hmmm. Interesting. Not gonna be at MITB or SummerSlam?

[#1-norm-fan]

I have to think they’ll get a SummerSlam match out of him at least. If they can’t pull priority for a SummerSlam match, that’s trouble.

[XL]

Apparently he’s still “advertised” for the 2 PLEs. For what that’s worth.

[Crippla]

Yeah I would imagine he would return at the end of August for SummerSlam or maybe a "surprise" return at SummerSlam(?)

[slik]

SummerSlam is in July this year

[slik]

MITB - July 2nd
SummerSlam - July 30th

[slik]

Apparently he’s still “advertised” for the 2 PLEs. For what that’s worth.

He might do the PLEs w/o working tv, they could work that into his gimmick I suppose

[Crippla]

That's terrible.

[screech]

lol they have built no stars beyond Reigns and Lesnar so this should be an interesting summer.

[#1-norm-fan]

They didn’t even build Lesnar. UFC built Lesnar and they jobbed him to a ton of guys hoping someone else’s work would rub off.

[Destor]

lesnar was a draw in the ufc because of his wwf run. be fair.

[screech]

The Mrs. rattled off Drew, Edge, and Seth when I mentioned there being no stars. I like all of those guys but can they carry the company for three months at this point?

(She said "maybe not, but who else is there to really use?")

[Crippla]

lesnar was a draw in the ufc because of his wwf run. be fair.

Yes if he was some unknown who just started in UFC without his first wwe run, I think it would have been a tremendous difference and I also believe he would only be half as well known as he is today.

[#1-norm-fan]

lesnar was a draw in the ufc because of his wwf run. be fair.

Lesnar got his SPOT in UFC in large part because of his WWE run. You can’t argue that his UFC career didn’t lead to him coming back a MUCH bigger star than when he left.

[Crippla]

Lesnar got his SPOT in UFC in large part because of his WWE run. You can’t argue that his UFC career didn’t lead to him coming back a MUCH bigger star than when he left.

I agree with this as well but I still don't think he would be as well known. Considering a large portion of people watched him in UFC because they were wrestling fans and a good amount of wrestling fans during his first run no longer watch wrestling as well. I'm not saying he still wouldn't be popular or a star but you are subtracting a pretty big demographic there

[Crippla]

So I would say he would be about 2/3 of a draw as he is now imo

[#1-norm-fan]

I’m not doubting that his WWE run didn’t play a large part in his ability to become a star in UFC. A LOT of people knew Brock from WWE and tuned in to see what he could do. Hell, a lot less people watched when Punk was on top and him having a name in a mainstream field earned HIM a couple UFC PPV paydays. AND HE DIDN’T EVEN HAVE A LEGIT BACKGROUND.

But Brock is clearly an example of WWE letting a guy go to another field where he can actually become a star and then backing up the Brinks truck to bring him back and reap the benefits.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

If I member correctly, Lesnar left as a mega star to join the NFL, then lost a lot of luster when he crapped out with the Vikings, then had a lot of skeptics about joining UFC, then won a bunch of credibility and star power back when it turned out he was still legit. I think a lot of people forget that it was 4 years between his last WWF match and 1st UFC fight.

[Crippla]

Holy shit his stint with the Vikings completely slipped my mind lmao at least he was the last one cut from the practice squad (I think? can anyone confirm this as true or false?)

[xrodmuc316]

Lesnar main evented Wrestlemania before he left.
Lesnar got a shot with the Vikings because he is a freak athlete. He had not played football since high school, and made it to the final cut day.
Lesnar won his first MMA match in a small promotion.
Lesnar got his shot in the UFC because he was a Division 1 National Champion in wrestling, not because he was in WWE.
Lesnar's UFC career was derailed after 2 occurrences of Diverticulitis.
Lesnar's UFC career got him the WWE deal he always wanted, a ton of money for a few dates a year.

[slik]

Rumors:


Riddle or Orton will win one title from Roman, Drew will win the other

Finn will eventually join Judgment Day

Cena might wrestle at SummerSlam

Bayley will return to feud with Ronda

These are… all accurate points…

[Supreme Olajuwon]

And people definitely forget he was IWGP champion between the NFL and UFC

[Mr. Nerfect]

WWE will be fine without Brock or Reigns (although I’m not sure they’re going to be without either of them, but anywho). There’s more parity between the rest of the card, so they can let them do their thing and fight over the belt(s) for a while. Reigns and/or Brock will come back fresher.

[puroresu fan]

And people definitely forget he was IWGP champion between the NFL and UFC

Same as AJ Styles maggle!

[Sepholio]

I guess everywhere is reporting that Roman is going to be taking 2-3 months off starting in June, per Meltzer. Hmmmm.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Perfect opportunity for AEW to take the lead! Woooo!

[Sepholio]

Other reports are saying he signed a new deal to work way less dates. Basically will only be on TV and PPVs. Hope that is the case and it isn't something with his health again.

[XL]

If Reigns is gone from TV you can easily work it into storylines without him dropping the titles. Record a batch of backstage stuff of him reacting to whatever. Do LIVE via satellite stuff. Just have him be like, “you guys work it out among youselves, then I’ll beat you at [insert name of PLE here]” if you want him on those shows. If Brock is back and you want to set up that match again, have Roman “running scared”. Make him a hypocrite by claiming to carry the brand on his back while not actually being there.

[XL]

This makes more sense if that promo he cut the other night was in a location/arena they don’t usually go to for TV.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I'd imagine he's just going to be working less dates and maybe have a BIT of time off.

[#1-norm-fan]

So they let a guy leave and used his success in another medium to boost their own numbers. I don't think we're disagreeing too much here. The fact that they could only get ex-WWE fans to come over and no UFC fans to come over and slowly lost the few ex-WWE fans who did come over isn't a good thing.

Lesnar came back in 2011. WWE has lost around half or more of their TV audience since that time frame.

Ric Flair is trying to wrestle again, which is a horrible idea for a variety of reasons.

Steve Blackman started surprisingly early.

If he could have been around just a few years later as internet culture really took over, he would have gotten over as a meme.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Some of those names have got to be a rib, right? :rofl:

The only thing I can think of is facial hair. Things like that could affect the way you would be modelled for merchandise and in video games, etc. Or yeah, it’s a rib.

[Mr. Nerfect]

That's part of the reason why I think MJF won't go to WWE... he wants to live the gimmick, and I can't see WWE being happy with letting him be a genuine jerk to people at public appearances, swearing at little girls, etc....

Eh, it could be a badge of honor. Or he could just dial it back and insult the kids’ teachers, parents, local sports teams, etc. Him being in character all the time has helped get him over as a package in AEW and that’s been his audition. When he gets to the WWE he wouldn’t necessarily be looking to keep it going as much as he is now. Or maybe they want him to and that’s part of the appeal?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don't believe for a second that MJF is gonna leave AEW

I think it’s def gonna happen. It will be interesting to see what goes down there!

I was just thinking about the talent roster available to Freddie Prinze, Jr. re: his planned wrestling company. A name that crossed my mind was Rene Dupree, for whatever reason. The dude is only 38 years old.

Freddie’s ideas seem too “sports entertainment” for me. I think his heart’s in the right place, but so is Tony Khan’s. I do hope something shakes out of this though.

[screech]

Steve Blackman looks like he could still kick the shit out of everyone.

[Mr. Nerfect]

For a second I thought he looked like Shane McMahon. Then I remembered SummerSlam ‘00 and Blackman being hot for a minute.

I hate to be a jerk, but Virgil wrote this:

I have two tests one in March 17th and March 25th. As I have posted, I have had mri and others procedure. I have spent close to $5721 on these the next two comes close to $3400. I would be more than glad to sign, do a cameo video and much more. I receive NO help from WWE who, based on all the chairshots, blows caused this.


Maybe I am completely misremembering, but exactly when did Virgil work for WWE when chairshots to the head were prevalent? Until the attitude era, WWE did not often use chairs, and certainly not unprotected head shots.

WWE banned chairshots to the head in around 2010, and the last one does was during Mania 27 with HHH/Undertaker, and they were fined for doing so.

Virgil was not working in WWE during the timeframe where WWE did utilize unprotected chair shots.

The situation Virgil is in sucks, but this is exactly why wrestlers who should receive help do not, because of the ones who wrongfully try to lay the blame on WWE ruin it.

A lot can change in 18 months, but Killer Kross and Scarlett are basically confirmed to be a part of this.

I think of wrestlers who might want a SAG membership and John Morrison and Bray Wyatt spring to mind. That gives them two more upper-card guys. Maybe you could bring in JoJo, Erick Rowan and Bo Dallas as part of a package with Bray? If you could lock The Briscoes in, that might give you leverage to sign FTR when their deals are up for next year.

Sign Tessa Blanchard and pray that she’s good. Morrison would give you access to Taya Valkyrie. Melina could come in as Morrison’s crazy ex. You could maybe make a sneaky play for someone like Trish Stratus to be a non-wrestling figurehead for a bit before getting back in the ring. Scour the world for not only the best indy talent, but also try and lock up Gerry Brisco and/or Jim Ross to scout college athletes for you to put into developmental (something AEW should have done).

With the combination of some stars, Freddie’s connections you might be able to land something on the CW Network. Maybe. That’s optimistic. But you should be making those strategic moves now.

Lol come on Virgil is an honest, upstanding guy! it's not like Virgil is the kind of shady wrestler who would do something like book Ted Dibiase with indy promotions without him knowing it to make more money without giving a fuck that it makes Ted look bad for "no showing"

[Crippla]

Seriously I do feel bad for him though. Dementia, colon cancer, etc. Dude just can't catch a break

[XL]

I was really confused for a few minutes there thinking Virgil was linking to chairshots to colon cancer. Didn’t realise he also had had 2 strokes and dementia.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

given that the chairshots he took were closer to his ass than his head, he'd have a better chance of linking them to his colon cancer than his strokes or dementia.

ilja dragunov is out of this damn mind. some of bumps he takes... this one was a top rope suplex where jordan devlin dropped dragunov's shoulders/upper back on the top rope, and dragunov just slingshots straight to the floor outside.

Steiners were always extra stiff and rough but they didn't always beat the shit out of jobbers. The difference is it was pretty much their " style". They didn't intend to seriously hurt anyone just rough them up a little bit. A lot of old school guys were like that to see if they were tough enough to break into the business.

With the Steiner's, it's always sudden violence. In this match, you get the standard steinerlines that knock your dick stiff, on top of Ric blasting with a forearm Al Green for seemingly bailing out of a top rope t-bone or powerslam.

Then a young, almost 300-pound Mike Awesome walks in and Scott just manhandles him but takes it relatively easy.

Scott would also spike guys on their head with the Frankensteiner (he didn't in this match).

Don't make me find Stan Hansen committing felonious assault on a young Nailz. Because holy fuck.

Love Shelton.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Love Charlie Haas too.

[Sepholio]

Yeah they are both awesome. Shelton is something else though. He should have been a main event guy.

[Fignuts]

Never was going to happen.

His in ring ability is proportionate to his lack of speaking ability.

[Sepholio]

While I don't disagree with you, when has a lack of speaking ability ever been a requirement for putting someone in the main event? There are people who have mained plenty who are as bad or worse on the stick and don't have half the in ring ability Shelton does.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Eh, there are ways around that. Dude’s had a pretty impressive career overall. 20 years since he debuted on SmackDown this year.

[Sepholio]

Plus they coulda just stuck him with a mouthpiece if that was the issue.

[Mr. Nerfect]

2006 would have been a good year to make a real run with him.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Remember when Charlie Haas had both Jackie and Dawn Marie on the go?

[Lock Jaw]

Plus they coulda just stuck him with a mouthpiece if that was the issue.

They tried his Mama......

[Bad News Gertner]

When we did the Best of Viscera, Shelton did Commentary on a Punk vs Big Daddy V match

He was abysmal.

[Crippla]

Yeah he did a good job but from what I heard he wasn't very well received by the locker room because of his attitude and ego. I guess he was acting like an entitled celebrity and demanded his own locker room among other things. I don't know exactly how much of that is true but I've heard bits and pieces of it from different interviews

[Mr. Nerfect]

Viscera is such an interesting case in wrestling.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Remember his tag team with Charlie Haas?

[Crippla]

Yes

[xrodmuc316]

Remember his tag team with Charlie Haas?

Remember CM Punk being a stand up dude?

Yeah neither does Miro :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Can you give me the backstory on this please

[xrodmuc316]

Can you give me the backstory on this please

Punk trying to virtue signal, and Miro laughing at that 0-2 bitch because what is Punk gonna do, beat Miro up? :rofl:

[Crippla]

I think he's laughing more at what Punk was saying. "Together you're unstoppable" was kind of ridiculous because they are just as expendable together as Sasha would have been on her own walking out

[Crippla]

And of course we know Miro's feelings toward WWE...

[Mr. Nerfect]

He could be laughing with Punk. I think Miro credits Punk for really helping him out in WWE. But it’s ambiguous.

Rusev debuted in the Rumble match that Punk quit after. They worked together in WWE for less than 1 day :rofl:

[Crippla]

"WWE releases update on Riddle" would have worked a lot better. It's only one extra word

[Sepholio]

So I'm wondering here. Say Randy Orton beats Roman Reigns in a match for both titles. Would that count as 2 title reigns, giving him his 15th and 16th world title reigns simultaneously?

[xrodmuc316]

Just going by their own history, it would not. Once the championships are unified there is only one, even with 2 titles. I think more likely they will do some lazy booking where when Roman loses, he will only lose the WWE Title, but still be Universal Champion.

[slik]

MITB and SummerSlam both have a ton of seats to sell for the partial stadium set-up for both shows

(reminder both shows are in July this year)

[Crippla]

They should just unify the titles and only keep one around after. The value of all the belts has diminished greatly over the years, I mean all the mid card belts mean absolutely nothing now and even the world title gets passed around like a hooker so it's really not what it used to be

Agreed. Orton would be the 2nd ever UWU Champion. See

He’s so irrelevant at this point, no one even cares if he’s on fire or not.

[erickman]

wait till cornett talks about it

[Sepholio]

Here's a random fact that won't seem real when you read it: Undertaker has never walked into Wrestlemania as a champion.

[screech]

Huh. Could've sworn he was champion when he faced Edge at 24.

[screech]

At least I think it was 24. Maybe I'm just forgetting everything.

[Sepholio]

Huh. Could've sworn he was champion when he faced Edge at 24.

I think he won the title from Edge that night.

[Sepholio]

Yea, Edge was champ going in. Taker won the title in the main event on the SD! side of things for the night.

[Sepholio]

It was for sure WM24, you had that right.

[Vastardikai]

where's the joey catches foot on fire pics

I have nothing to really add to this, but I just updated my signature to mark the occasion of his stupidity almost catching up with him.

If you had a twitter account I think it would play on the forum page if you click the play button just once. I think if you double click it launches a new browser tab for twitter.
