Dirtsheets:

WWE has confirmed that a move of Smackdown to Thursday is in discussions but has as of yet not been made. They confirmed the production trucks being updated with Smackdown listed as a Thursday night show on Syfy.

"Someone was overzealous in updating our production trucks," said WWE. "The trucks are being fixed to reflect the current and accurate informatino of Fridays at 8 p.m."

There was what was described to me as a panic on 8/6, the afternoon before the second night of tapings. It was a combination of the Observer web site report and all the other web sites reporting on the possibility of Smackdown moving to Thursday and what it means for TNA. But with nothing being said, and the knowledge that a Smackdown move to Thursday would be disastrous for ratings and hurt things with Spike if there was any chance of a new deal. Spike likely won’t move Impact to Friday’s due to Bellator, although Wednesday possibly could be done. But who knows if Spike has any interest going forward as those at Spike have said there is nothing new since our reports from last week. But if there are any negotiations with new stations, if the Smackdown move happens, it hurts Impact badly when it comes to negotiations with new stations.

The next NXT live special on the network will be on 9/11, called NXT Takeover 2, with Adrian Neville vs. Tyson Kidd vs. Sami Zayn vs. Tyler Breeze in a four-way for the NXT title, Charlotte vs. Bayley for the Knockouts title and the Ascension vs. Sin Cara & Kalisto for the tag titles. Charlotte and Kalisto are both supposed to be fast-tracked to the main roster. There is at least talk of Bayley winning to set up Charlotte going to the main roster but that’s not a lock.

ROH today announced that its 9/6 show from Toronto, called All-Star Extravaganza, will be airing on iPPV through Ustream.

Unlike as previously reported, ROH will be continuing iPPVs with Ustream, but will need to work with a third party to process orders. This may be an opening for New Japan Pro Wrestling to continue on the platform as well.

While discussing the Network, it was noted that WCW Monday Nitro episodes would begin to be added to the Network this Fall alongside the Monday Night War documentary series. WWE will also be posting Raw episodes from that era at the same time.

The health of former WCW World Heavyweight Champion Lex Luger continues to deteriorate. Luger, 56, is now wheelchair-bound after being able to walk on his own in recent years (with assistance from a cane). The former WWE and WCW competitor appeared at the Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Legends Fanfest in Charlotte, North Carolina, over the weekend and was confined to a wheelchair throughout the event. He also had to sign autographs with a pen stuck between his ring and pinky fingers.

Luger's health problems stem from a spinal stroke he suffered on October 19, 2007 that led to temporary paralysis. Nearly a month after his spinal stroke, Luger was still in a quadriplegic state, having no movement in either his arms or legs. In June 2008, Luger was said to be able to stand on his own for short periods of time and walk using a walker. In 2010, Luger stated in an interview that he was able to walk more comfortably, and able to drive again.

southern wrestler Ken Lucas has passed away.

Ken was found unresponsive in his home Monday night and rushed to the hospital. He never regained consciousness.

He was imo one of the most underrated workers ever.

He and Ricky Morton were tag team champs for Joe Blanchard's Southwest Championship Wrestling. Their feud with Tully Blanchard and Gino Hernandez was outstanding.

Every wrestler in the indies is under rated to you come on now....

Just hanging out in a WWE ring. No big deal.

[Fignuts]

We've covered this already.

[Seth82]

This annoys me so much. EVERY....SINGLE...TIME...

Every single time ANY wrestler dies you post "One of the most underrated workers"

Apparently every no name from 65-85 was super under rated

Ken Lucas was hardly some no name job guy. He was one of the best wrestlers to compete in the Southeast/Gulf Coast area in the 60's & 70's.

I guess since he's not heard of by most we should ignore his passing. I don't consider every worker from the 60's to the 80's to be underrated.

people like Ken Lucas, Don Greene, Jerry Kozak & Billy Robinson were fantastic workers. So they weren't known on a national scale? I guess them dying should be ignored.

Ken Lucas was one of the most beloved faces in the 60's and 70's in the Gulf Coast territory.

[Fignuts]

If he was hardly a no name job guy, and one of the most beloved faces of the 60's and 70's, then he wasn't underrated.

[Rammsteinmad]

And people here would know who he was.

[Seth82]

If he was hardly a no name job guy, and one of the most beloved faces of the 60's and 70's, then he wasn't underrated.

I just think he could've been a bigger star had he left the southeast/gulf coast territories. He was underrated when looking at the best babyface workers of all time.

To be fair, Joe Blanchard's territory was awful. As was Joe Blanchard.

[Dark One]

Also IT HAS THE FUCKING # SYMBOL IN THE TITLE. IN THE TITLE.

[FourFifty]

I like Sami Zane, but dude needs a better gimmick. So far all I'm getting from him (and his tights) is "I'm happy and I've wrestled all around the world!" Well that latter part bugs me. He may have been all around the world, but now he's wrestling in the same arena week after week after week after week. I know it's not his fault. It's how NXT is runs. It's one central location in the heart Death's waiting room (Florida).
At least let him talk about his travels more often. Let him brag about winning (possibly fictitious) titles in Cambodia and Madrid. Let him discuss how he wrestled all over the world, seeking out the best competitors. Let him do something more.

As a worker I've loved this guy since I stumbled upon a Generico highlight video. When I heard WWE signed him I was STOKED (and slightly relived they didn't keep the Generico gimmick with the name "Lucha Joe") but now he's... He has all the right pieces. They're just not fitting together at the moment.

I think it looks like Hunter is literally holding the title in abeyance.

I'd have to disagree. Southwest Championship Wrestling was an outstanding territory for its time.

Get your podcast going Seth/Gertner. This could be a full episode with you yelling at each other.

[FourFifty]

And now, in no real order...
10 people who should have made it bigger in the WWF/E
*Now with half assed explanations*

10- Vader
This dude was a legit monster, who many feel was held down by backstage politics. He was over as hell everywhere else he went. Perhaps he was given an unfair shake, or maybe it's a case of "you can't win 'em all." The man they call Vader should have been the man they call WWF World Heavy Weight Champion at least once.

9- Brutus Beefcake
While he wasn't a total jobber, you'd think the guy who carries Hulk Hogan's bags would have gotten a little more spotlight than just Hogan's sidekick. I mean, come on. He was Hogan's lapdog everywhere he went. Let's jump into WCW where he followed him. He was a prat of the nWo, and the man who "infiltrated" the Dungeon of Doom. I wouldn't be surprised if he lives Hulk Hogan's basement surrounded by boxes upon boxes of failed Hulk Hogan merchandise.

8- Marc Mero
This man was adept to many wrestling styles. He could be on the bigger side of a high flyer, the smaller side of a brawler, very exciting, could play a great face and a terrible heel. I feel his run got overshadowed by Sable.

7- Chris Candido
Not "Skip of the Bodydonnas", but Chris Candido. His gimmick was toxic (at least Mero had it better in the gimmick department), and ended up with him being managed by some random (alleged) transvestite. Kinda like Mero, he got out preformed by a beautiful woman.
Honorable mentions of a great wrestler ruined by a gimmick- Shane Douglas, Matt Bourne

6- Kenny Dykstra
The main mouth piece of the spirit squad could have been bigger than just a male cheerleader turned into a total nobody. This is just a tragic case of a young kid with everything to prove in front of a fan base that wants everything delivered to them on a silver platter.

5- Rene Dupree
If there's one group the Canadians can make fun of, it's the French Canadians. Why? Everyone hates the French. He played a great arrogant heel. This man could have been a place holder champion to pass the World title from one face to the next. While I never saw him as a solid main event player, he could have been compared to The Mountie.
Honorable mention for "Foreign Bad Guy who could have been bigger"- Kenzo Suzuki.

4- Paul Burchill and Katie Lea
Take the border line incest out of it, and Paul Burchill and Katie Lea could have been amazing. There was great chemistry between them (if you ignored the fact that they were meant to be siblings). That duo could have used each other to get what they want. They both looked good, they talked good, but I feel they didn't get the right exposure. Paul was an English man, then a pirate, and then someone who might be having sex with his sister... One of these things is not like the other...

3- Drew McIntyre
3MB.... 'nuff said.
Honorable Mention- Jinder Mahal

2- Haku
Aside from the sporadic fandom he gets from the people, right here, on tpww.net *#CheapPop* that dude was legit tough. I'm not saying he had "it" to be in the main event scene for a long period of time, but he could have been an awesome body guard, gun for hire, or corporate goon. Would have loved to see Haku vs Ken Shamrock in the attitude era.

1- Eric Bischoff
He didn't have to take bumps. He didn't have to wrestle. All he had to do was talk. I'm fairly sure he was given his run until Vince felt he was done with him. As a figure head, and a mouth piece, I still feels he has a LOT to offer to the industry.
On the creative side he's a bit of an ego-maniacal douche, and perhaps not the best person to do business with, but as a persona, he still has what it takes.
Did he have a good run in WWE? Yea, of course he did. Hell, most of the people I mentioned had a good run (and possibly as fair of a chance as time and circumstance could have given them). There could have been more from all of these guys if they were given the right chances, and avoided bad luck.

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol fuck, Eric Embry. Southwest was the red headed step child of the Texas Territories.

[Emperor Smeat]

According to the latest Observer Newsletter, both the pre-show and post-shows will be dropped in the near future. They currently air before and after Raw, Smackdown and all PPV events. Its likely that the Raw and Smackdown add-ons would be the first to go, as the PPV pre-shows have been airing well before the WWE Network launch on YouTube and the mobile app.

At one point there was discussion of launching a new weekly talk show on the Network, but with all the budget cuts that isn’t even on the table at this point. They have also been slow to update classic content to the Network, as studies are showing that most users are tuning in for monthly PPV events, and newer shows like Total Divas and Legends House, but not a lot of the older content. And as we’ve reported, the WWE Magazine and WWE Kids magazine has been cancelled, effective next month.

[Seth82]

I've been re-watching ECW TV now from 1995 to 1997.

Barely Legal seems to have been almost the beginning of the end for this company. Their tv was decent up til around late summer and early fall of '97. After that it seems to drop off considerably.

I think the whole WWF Invasion, poorly booked ppv's following Barely Legal, turning Bam Bam Bigelow face for no reason and then turning him heel right away all led to the demise of this once great company.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

WCW took Raven, Richards and Saturn soon after Barley Legal that was the beginning of their problems. Then they started poaching talent for no reason like the Sandman. WWF only took guys when it was pretty much over except for the Dudley Boyz.

The WWF Invasion was great for ECW it got them great exposure for the PPV.

[Seth82]

I have to admit it was pretty cool to see Jim Cornette in the ECW Arena.

http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa478/TPWWSeth82/ECWHardcoreTV7101997-VideoDailymotion_zpsaf06f17d.png

[Cool King]

Also IT HAS THE FUCKING # SYMBOL IN THE TITLE. IN THE TITLE.

CFO$ tend to do that quite a bit with their themes.

They've done it with Emma's theme and Tyler Breeze's theme, and the first one to have the symbol in the title was the remix of Fandango's theme.

I'm not really a fan of it myself, as I fail to see what it achieves apart from looking stupid, especially in the future if/when throwing the symbol in front of words stops being "cool", or when Twitter eventually dies along with "hashtagging".

But at the same time, it's just a name, and it doesn't really effect the song or the wrestler in any way, so I don't really worry about it.

I was sorta talking about the angle that ECW ran with having a Team WWF stable in ECW. They should've ended after Dreamer won against Lawler at Hardcore Heaven.

Instead they continued with it by bringing in people like Brakkus, Furnas & Lafon & Droz. This was all led by a guy named Lance Wright who carried a circa 1986 WWF flag.

Posted on /r/legaladvice:


I work for a rather large corporation for which I do not want to use the name in this discussion (unless I get proper counseling). Unfortunately, my company is currently going through some hefty budget cuts and we currently cut off all of our attorneys from their retainers.
Here is my contract dispute:
Fairly recently I was chosen by the COO of the company to take over a high level position that is currently held by someone the COO doesn't like. Let's just call this person John to make it easier to understand. Unfortunately for the COO, the stockholders love John. What the COO did was offer me a contract to use whenever I want to challenge John in a formal review to see who is better fit for the competition. Imagine it as sort of a "match of skills".
For a few weeks now I have tried to meet with John but I have encountered a few problems because of another co-worker interfering. This co-worker was a good friend of mine and we shared many beers after work together. However, I felt like he wasn't performing as well as I was and he was really holding me back. I sort of turned my back on him to pursue better career alternatives. Now, this employee (let's call him Dean), is constantly coming after me with problems. However, just like John, the stockholders love Dean and it would be tough for the COO to fire him.
Last week, Dean and I were competing in a test to see who can finish their work quicker than the other. It took Dean about 16 minutes to complete his work which was a delight! Usually, this work takes about 5 minutes. Unfortunately, I failed my tasks because Dean interrupted me while I was working.
Dean had gotten a hold of my contract. Dean started to spill soda on it and even ate pieces of it. The contract is now completely destroyed. I will speak to my COO and ask him to draw up another one, but I feel like with the changes in the company's budgets he may not do it. I have failed to meet his expectations and he has been bragging about how he is going with another plan called a "Plan C". I feel like because of this "Plan C" I might not get another contract.
My question is /r/legaladvice is, is my contract still binding? Do I have a case against my COO? Are there damages I can pursue against Dean?
Thank you for your help.

And that was all before Ric Flair came to congratulate me for getting engaged, and hugged Shakiya, Mikala and I.

Tazz, what did the crowd do during the proposal?

I ask as I've seen guys propose at soccer games and the crowd gave him an intense "You don't know what you're doing!" chant. Soccer fans aren't particularly civilised though. Mind you, Australian wrestling fans are probably no better.

Congrats.

TNA has now taped all the episodes that are scheduled to air under the current SpikeTV contract, which ends the final week of September.

TNA has a hold on the Manhattan Center for September tapings but are formalizing their strategy for those tapings before officially announcing the shows. They may be taping One Night Only PPVs as part of those tapings.

According to the dirtsheets and a few other places, Spike made offers to buy TNA during the tv negotiations but TNA kept refusing since one of the demands was for Dixie to step down. Same reason why Jeff Jarrett and Toby Keith's previous offers to buy out TNA fell flat.

Apparently Booker T is a St. Kilda fan. Also, The Young Bucks might be going to WWE. Complain away.

Wasn't there a story a few years ago about The Young Bucks getting a WWE tryout and not shaking Booker's hand, really pissing him off? I think he and Goldust exchanged some Twitter things about how disrespectful young kids were or something. If that story was true, then this photo is kind of interesting.

I've heard great things about The Bucks. Some people often make the mistake of thinking that what a guy on the indies does is all they are capable of doing. Just because The Young Bucks work spot-centred matches on the independent circuit and in Japan, doesn't mean they can't quieten it down and work a traditional WWE match.

I'm not a build or look kind of guy, but they look like a backwoods Drew McIntyre and Matt Hardy. I think that will do them in more than doing too many flips.

Maybe we can ask Clox if he's ever wrestled them in the woods.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Bayley is fucking adorable down in NXT, but I don't think it's time for her to win the NXT Women's Title just yet. I'd have her put on a good show against Charlotte, only to come up short, but earn the champ's respect.

That Fatal-4 Way rumored for the show sounds interesting. I really think Sami Zayn is one of the better personalities the WWE has. He's not a character, but he seems like a real person, and I feel that people will be able to relate to him when he makes the jump to the main roster.

I hope Shawn Michaels is made the new NXT General Manager. How would that be for star power for the show? He wouldn't be on there all the time, but he could show up every couple of weeks and be a bit cheeky. Have it announced at Takeover 2 and have CJ Parker interrupt the announcement and tell HBK that his hunting is disgusting, and as a General Manager of the WWE he should be looking to spread a positive message. Cue HBK introducing Parker to his impromptu opponent for the evening: Kenta!

After losing to Kenta, Parker starts calling out Kenta for Japan's whaling practices, which leads to him getting kicked in the face more times. Tyler Breeze wants HBK to give him a fair one-on-one rematch for the NXT Title (Sami Zayn is the new champion), but HBK tells Breeze that he has to earn it. This leads to Breeze disrespecting Shawn Michaels at every chance he gets, and a huge Breeze vs. Kenta match being signed for the next live special.

They'll probably work hard to bulk up. I'm pretty sure Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose have done the same. Size isn't as important in the modern WWE any more either. Just stick them with Breeze as fellow male models and let them throw Superkick Parties together.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Would love to see Maryse in The Miz's corner at SummerSlam. She's always a treat.

[Mr. Nerfect]

If the AJ Lee vs. Paige feud extends for as long as I would like it to, then Kaitlyn making her return, even if just for one night only, to serve on Team Paige against Team AJ at Survivor Series would be a nice moment.

Damn. Whenever I see a picture of her, it always reminds me of how much I miss seeing her on WWE television.

I recently found out that she now considers herself retired from wrestling and that she wants to focus on her clothing line, which both sucks and is pretty understandable.

Apparently, the thing that made her decided to terminate her contract was a day she had when traveling to Raw in Baltimore. She was asked to be at Raw, which meant she had to wake up at 4am, travel through bad storms and snow, and because of that, she got stuck in two airports and it made everything pretty hectic for her, only to arrive at the arena and find out that she wasn't even booked. She then remembered that it was the same place she debuted, so she decided to just end where she began.

But in good news, she has said that if she is to ever wrestle again, it would only be for WWE.

[Emperor Smeat]

Dirtsheets:

During his shoot interview which took place earlier in the week, Evan Bourne revealed he was given a free WWE Network subscription when he was released from the company.

It wasn't a secret that Alberto Del Rio was looking elsewhere with his contract expiring soon, as AAA wants him with their impending launch on the El Rey Network (in theory, they have a deal, but it keeps getting delayed). He'd likely be useful in Mexico, too, but I wouldn't expect him to be a regular. He's very well off and his situation isn't dire. This is also great news for Ricardo Rodriguez, as now they can do their act on independent shows. With real names close enough to their WWE name, to boot.

WWE Network content status update: Nitros will be up by October, there will be some kind of other WCW content in January, and more of both World Class and WCCW will go up right around the launch/WrestleMania renewal cycle, so likely September. The company acknowledged at an investors' conference that they have plenty of stuff being held back, which is news that is simultaneously good and bad.

There will be further budget cuts before the more openly planned December cuts. It may not be talent, crew, or anything else noticeable to viewers, but it's happening. If SuperShow tapings are added, they'll be rare for the obvious logistical reasons having to do with taping five hours of TV in one night.

On Thursday, WWE released a video blog of the former Tensai, who now goes by the name Jason Albert, discussing the future of WWE and their Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. For those who did not watch the video, Albert revealed that he is retired from the ring and now training WWE's future stars.

If WWE does go ahead and move SmackDown back to Thursday nights, the live NXT specials would air on Wednesday night. No word yet on if NXT and Superstars would move to Wednesdays or Fridays.

Well, a vote for Cool King and your support will:

*End Triple Threat Matches, unless the people of TPWW vote to have one. Cool King will listen to the people of TPWW, no matter what the topic.
*Make Innovator the Deputy King, as it's unfair that he forgot to vote and is now "paying the price", by being in a Triple Threat Match. Innovator is good people.
*Shake things up and not make the KOTF Tournament be as predictable as a 2007 John Cena match.
*End the reign of terror that is my "big bad blue font". My blue font I use in the casual forum will become my default font for all of TPWW.
*Distribute rep to everyone that voted for Cool King, every day for the length of the reign.
*And the "big one", you'll finally get a photo of me. After ten years of several posters demanding one, it'll finally happen. I'll even wear a crown and all that jazz.
*There's also a special surprise that I won't reveal just yet. Though I'll give you all a hint, it involves more than just one of your senses. ;)

So yeah, please vote for Cool King. He'll love you very much, more than he already does, if you do. :)

Dirtsheets:

We noted before that TNA has canceled the September 26th live event scheduled for Enid, Oklahoma. They have also canceled the September 27th live event in Salinas, Kansas. TNA noted that an "unforeseen scheduling conflict" caused the dates to be canceled. More canceled events are expected to be confirmed soon.

The final rating for Thursday's Impact with Dixie's much-hyped table spot was a 1.09 rating, barely up from the previous week's 1.05 rating for Destination X. As noted, the show drew 1.41 million viewers, barely up from the previous week.

We noted before that TNA's final episode under their current Spike TV contract will be the No Surrender Impact Wrestling on September 25th as the contract expires the last week of September. Word is that TNA may not go off the air immediately as Spike may continue working with them for a little while as they try to find another home.

A new show titled SmackDown Flashback debuts on the WWE Network this week. The first episode premieres today and looks at the network premiere of SmackDown on August 26th, 1999 with The Rock vs. Triple H.

Apparently there were a lot of wrestlers within WWE who were upset about Alberto Del Rio's release. We've noted that Del Rio was cut for allegedly assaulting a WWE.com social media worker after that employee allegedly made a racist remark about Del Rio.

That WWE.com worker is still employed with the company but word is that he could be finding himself out of a job like Del Rio soon. Del Rio's slap to the man was described as a heavy shot, something similar to the infamous slap wrestler David Schultz gave to 20/20 reporter John Stossel in 1984.

Spike TV wanted to purchased a 10% percentage of TNA Impact Wrestling and move forward as share owners of the business. Dixie Carter would not agree to this deal and it caused the news of the potential end of their working relationship.

Jack Swagger is pretty good as a babyface. For a guy who has been a heel for literally his entire WWE career (not sure about FCW though), he has taken to it pretty naturally. When he gets beaten up you feel his passion when he's still fighting. I definitely think he has legs as a babyface, even if the xenophobic American thing needs to be dropped.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It's really weird to imagine Swagger getting two submission wins over Cesaro given how hot Cesaro was earlier this year, and how not Swagger was.

Wow. That's pretty awful.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with the UK launch, especially with PPV. Currently it's £14.99 for PPV on top of what you already pay for your subscription (depends on the package) but the time difference will really come in to play for me. Not gonna pay £9.99 (though I can see it being more than that) to get a PPV I can't watch live, that I can watch on the net the next day for free. And with no Raw/SmackDown on the Network...

For me, they really need to load the On Demand stuff to make it worth purchasing.

Ricardo Rodriguez posted something about Triple H calling him fat and that he wondered if he said the same to Steen.

Spoiler for Ricardo: I don't think it was just Triple H doing that.

[FourFifty]

But at least Ricardo had a nick name to go with it.

Headband. It's on him before the piledriver.

Hogan is really fucking old.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm interested to see what happens with Steen in developmental. A lot of this will be up to him.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Just watched the intro of SummerSlam 1995 and Todd Pentigill says SUPER the same way Tony Chimel does when he announced Edge's name. Was Tony Chimel pulling the longest rib of all time on Todd Pettingzoo?

He'll be fine in NXT. Beyond that is what you need to worry about.

[Vastardikai]

He needs to take some of Corny's statements to heart or he'll go the way of Hero.

So about that entire segment? Why was Hogan looking pissed at each guest coming out? Heck Flair made a point to snub him when shaking hands.

Watching TNA Unbreakable 2005 on Challenge. Petey Williams just came out to Abyss' music.

Dirtsheets:

Regarding the recent departure of WWE NXT talent Shaun "Slate Randall" Ricker, it was said by a NXT source that Ricker had by far the most potential of all the recent releases. However, Ricker's release is said to be a different situation than some of the other cuts which were due to them not being what WWE wanted or because of the talents not progressing. It was said that Ricker had the charisma WWE wanted but there was an issue that came up with him sending an e-mail that got him buried in the company. We don't know what the details of that e-mail were but another developmental source noted that some things Ricker wrote on his Twitter was not what WWE wanted.

Regarding WWE signing Kevin Steen, The Wrestling Observer reports that it's said that WWE officials do recognize Steen as a significant addition to their roster

Former WWE announcer Hugo Savinovich, who works for Mexico's AAA promotion now, did an interview with kgb-wrestling.com yesterday and said Rey Mysterio will be coming to AAA once he solves his current contract dispute with WWE. He also confirmed that Alberto Del Rio will be appearing at AAA's TripleMania event on Sunday.

PWInsider reports that there has been talk lately of Rob Van Dam taking another break from WWE after SummerSlam.

If Spike TV ends up taking TNA off the air, they won't be going out of business immediately as they still have to film material for overseas contracts so they won't breach those deals. TNA officials been working with the United Talent Agency to evaluate their current live event strategy. There could be changes coming to how TNA's live events are routed and presented.

WWE has stopped doing the "second screen experience" for WWE Main Event on the App. This could be another budget cutback.
