I love the Network, easily the best money I spend every month.

[GD]

Would be a total mind fuck if Eddie Guerrero returned as the Bunny.

"Orale vato, it was me all along, esse!"

[screech]

The Network is the best. I do wish they'd make the video player less laggy, though.

Still the best use of $10. I watch it every day.

[Tazz Dan]

guess what folk
Mark Henry is heel again!

How do you figure this? Have I missed something?

[screech]

I think it'd be better if Raw and Smackdown got added right after their TV broadcasts, it feels incomplete if you want to use it to catch up on current events other than PPVs.

Agree with this 100p. Can't they not do that because of TV contracts or some piss, though?

[Hanso Amore]

Honestly for 9.99 it's a good deal but I don't buy it because fuck, I don't want to watch the pay per views.

I'll subscribe around royal rumple time so I can do the rumble and wrestlemania.

As for old content I really only want to watch wcw from 85-99 and that not all there yet from what I can tell.

Ecw doesn't appeal to me because I have seen all the events numerous times and it's always weird, disjointed because you miss some of the booking.

Would love to watch wcw Saturday night for a full year in the early 90s to progress with the booking.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>My initial network subscription had expired and I didn't renew right away since I didn't have time to watch, got it back before NOC. Going to start watching more stuff on Monday nights since I doubt the WWE product will interest me again until January.

I have dozens of Nitros to catch up on. I do wish they'd have caught up with Raws of the same time period so I could watch the Monday Night Wars head to head.</font>

[Bobholly138]

Fuck, really hope the network doesn't get cancelled. When you consider the content, it's really one of the most awesome things to happen to pro wrestling.

How are more people not buying this?

I didn't get it for many reasons.

1.All the WWF/WWE/WCW/ECW ppvs I want to see I already own.

2.Don't really give a shit about modern WWE so seeing the current PPVs means jack to me.

3.The one show on the Network I would watch,I can just watch on Hulu for free.

4.Got a data cap.

Henry cut a promo and turned on Main Event.

[Kingofdaswing]

No one wants the network because the current product is shit. Pretty simple.

[Heisenberg]

I like the Network for NXT and Monday Night War recaps. All of the PPVs are nice to put on when doing stuff around the house. I got Wrestlemania and Royal Rumble on PPV so working this into my budget didn't cause any stress.

[Tazz Dan]

No one wants the network because the current product is shit. Pretty simple.

So, what? The network gets cancelled and we all go back to paying stupid high prices for PPV's. Keep in mind, I don't stream. And we pay $34.95 for PPV's in Australia, and WWE shows are shown on Foxtel, our Pay TV provider here, which starts at something like $49.95 a month. You need that to be able to purchase PPV's.

Also, the fact there is so many hours of OLD content on it is fucking amazing. They could double the price and I'd still subscribe. You know why? BECAUSE IT'S A GREAT FUCKING DEAL. Wrestling fans are just fickle though. They could offer it for $1 a month and everyone would still find a reason to bitch about it.

And if WWE ever did go bust because people are to tight to pay for content and would rather stream, those people wouldn't take any responsibility for it happening, I guarantee it.

[Tazz Dan]

Honestly, I can see why HHH is frustrated with fans and decided to push the whole thing down our throats. No other sport or entertainment genre offers anything as good as what they do for the price. And if you don't want to get locked in to 6 months of the rediculously high priced network, you can pay an extra $2 for ONE MONTH, still get all the content, and save 40 odd dollars on a PPV cost. I just don't see why people can't see the benefits to this.

[Tazz Dan]

And if the only excuse you have is 'the product is shit right now', here's a suggestion for you.

Stop fucking watching instead of complaining every week.

[Innovator]

Way I see it, if you stream everything, you shouldn't have a voice to complain about the product. Even if they did everything you wanted and turned into smarkworld, you still wouldn't pay for it.

For one, I am in Canada, and do not have access to the WWE Network, as it is Rogers Communication clients only, which is not available where I am, so as a matter of fact, I payed 55 dollars for NoC. Raw is also on a pay channel which guess what, I also pay for. So you can stop acting all high and mighty because you think you are the only one who pays for things, you're not. I would be a subscriber to the network hands down if available to me, but that's me. The fact that the poduct is shit does matter, and seems to me lots of people have stopped watching. Thus Raw numbers, and network numbers are shit. The stuff you said is absolutely true, all the old content is amazing, no doubt about that, but because of the state of the current product, no one will spend the money to buy it. That's a fact.

[Mercenary]

thank you!

[XL]

The problem I'll have with the Network when it eventually arrives here is simple; time difference.

It'd be great to have access to the PPVs every month and £10 (presuming the price) is a bargain, however, I still wouldn't be able to watch live at 1am as I have work at 7am on a Monday. Therefore I'd be watching on Monday evening...as I do now through a streaming site where I don't have to pay. That site also uploads all of the Network exclusive shows/specials and the weekly TV shows that the Network doesn't cover. Essentially I'd be paying £120 for a legit source for my wrestling viewing that I don't have to.

Know, if that site were to close...different story.

lol how was I being high and mighty? And I never once insinuated I was the only one who pays for content. You made the call though that nobody wanted the network because the product is shit, pretty simple.

I was simply pointing out that just because the product might not be at its all time greatest, and let's be honest, it will never peak at the way it did in the late 90's ever again, there is still pretty of other good reasons to get it, and it's cheap. That's why I quoted prices. I can't see why people would complain about 6 monthly payments of $9.99 and then pay $54.95 for a PPV.

And also, me being in Australia, month one of the network cost me AU$10.77, and this month has cost me AU$11.07. And like I said, I'd happily pay double that a month if not more for everything included on the network.

So now, get off your pedistal and don't argue with your King ever again son.

[Kingofdaswing]

I love the " Stop Fucking Watching" response.

If you haven't noticed the ratings lately, people have stopped watching. I for one will never stop watching, I will never stop spending the 50 or 60 on each PPV, however, when I spend my money, and the shit they put on doesn't satisfy me, I will bitch.

Pefect example, Jericho attacked by Orton, injures is knee. Match is made for NoCs. The video hyping the match clearly is stating the story of this feud Is Jericho's knee injury. Does Orton work the knee? Nope, not once.

Now was it a shitty match? No, in my opinion it was the second best on the card behind Cesaro and Shamus, however the story of the feud and the story of the match were no where near the same.

Then we have the main event, which ends in a DQ. Now if this does not end up with Cena vs Lesnar in Hell in a cell, then it just looks like they just threw the DQ in there just because they couldn't have cena lose again. if it ends with a hell in a cell, then I have no problem. However, why does Rollins attack a heel? I understand he has the brief case, however, you do not have a heel attack a heel, it's common sense. Then on Raw they don't say anything about it? No Heyman even. So are we supposed to forget that happened, and assume Lesnar is going to let Rollins off the hook?

These are just two examples. There are many more.

But imagine if everybody streamed, and nobody paid for content. WWE would lose a lot of revenue, and the company would eventually go bust.

Again, it's something that I don't understand. If we all live wrestling, and WWE in particular so much, why do we not want to do the right thing and pay for the entertainment?

You guys will probably think I'm crazy, but if I really enjoy a PPV, I still buy the Blu-Ray or DVD, even though it's on the network, on demand. And I purchase all Documentaries etc they release also. Well, the majority of them anyway.

[Innovator]

One thing fans who are complaining about the Network don't get, WWE isn't going back to PPV. The PPV business is dying, sans people who pay to see Mayweather fights. Year over year people were buying less, so WWE had to up the price. WWE also only netted 40% of the PPV revenue, the other 60% went to the cable/satellite companies.

We all know this, you don't have to point it out to me. But seriously, if it bugs people so much that they feel the need to get on a forum and complain week after week after week..... Wouldn't you just stop? Or accept it for what it is at the current time and suck it up?

There's nothing wrong with being frustrated and venting from time to time, but if you're at that point where you just simply have nothing good to say, I'd be taking a break from watching for a while.

[Big Vic]

I'll buy it when they offer free backrubs with subscription.

[wwe2222]

If you buy a minimum of 2 PPVs per year, there is zero reason to not order the network. I think network is great. There is no one else offering this for their product, be it sports or sports entertainment, or even most entertainment.

Have they said it'll be the same as the US version, I thought they'd just signed a deal with Sky to up the number of PPVs on Boxoffice, can't see them being happy.

[Shisen Kopf]

10 bucks a month and people even still bitch. Oy vey!

[Droford]

Here's where PG era hurts..I think a good portion of WWEs audience is parents of kids who watch. The parents never ordered PPVs before on a regular basis and the kids could care less about stuff that happened a year ago, much less 20 years ago. This nullifies the networks two main selling points.

That's probably a big reason why almost all the pre-launch hype was towards the Attitude Era and the older crowd for the Network. All the estimates about fanbases hinted the older and lapsed fanbases being the groups who would carry the Network.

I don't think the issue was "the PPV business dying". If that's the case then why have WrestleMania buys over the past 10 years been better than ever before? WrestleMania has been treated as an event/spectacle beyond the typical WWE product more and more over the past decade or so and MORE people have ordered it than ever before despite the raised prices. If other PPVs are selling less it's not because the PPV business is dying... it's because they aren't able to sell PPVs with the state of the current product. If the product gets better and ratings start to soar then PPV buys go with it. It's that simple. It's not PPV's fault.

[Nicky Fives]

At this point I don't think there's anything to say that the Network will be the "over the top" internet-based system that it is in America. Would they have a subscription channel through Sky, similar to what they've set up in Canada? Seems a little odd that it's launched all over the world but not here.

I don't know if the Network would have enough of a draw factor without any of the live stuff. By all accounts they need a big take-up here.

You're absolutely right on all counts. I'm not defending my theft of the WWE product, and I won't go with the old pretense of "I'd pay if the product was better".

For me it's simply a matter of cost. Having Sky with the sports package costs £46 a month + a PPV fee (£15 I think), I simply don't have £60+ per month of expendable income to pay for the WWE product (that I wouldn't be able to watch live). The only other thing I'd watch on Sky would be Game of Thrones, which runs for 10 weeks a year, and the occasional soccer game (some of which you need an additional pay channel to view).

The idea of the Network allowing me to watch all of the first-run WWE content for under a tenner was revolutionary, alas the Network doesn't show Raw/SmackDown live (or a re-run) and more than likely won't carry the PPVs either.

Dirtsheets hinting WGN America is currently the rumored favorite as TNA's new network home.

Multiple TNA sources believe a new television deal could be announced as early as this week, though one source believes it could be closer to Bound For Glory time in October before anything is finalized. The most popular network name floating around the TNA locker room was WGN America.

The feeling of some within the company is that Dixie may have dropped a hint at negotiations with WGN back on September 10. "Nothing like showers and high winds to impact traffic and my hair in the Windy City this am," she wrote on her Twitter page. While there's no telling what she was doing in Chicago that day, the locker room speculation stems from the fact that WGN America is owned by Tribune Media Company, which is based in Chicago.

If true, the switch would happen no later than early January 2015.

[Tazz Dan]

So apparently on the back of the Sting DVD that was just released, one of the pictures is of the fake NWO Sting.

lol

It may have been a deliberate thing too though? I'm sure they cover nWo Sting on the DVD.

[Tazz Dan]

Then again, I could be wrong. I'm just saying though, everyone has jumped to the one conclusion.

I don't know that I'll ever be able to top today's KICKOUT AT TWO, but hell, here goes:

It may have been a deliberate thing too though? I'm sure they cover nWo Sting on the DVD.

If they thought the fake NWO Sting was a big enough part of Sting's legacy to actually put a picture of him on the back of Sting's DVD then that's even funnier.

Not like... the fake Sting in an NWO shirt standing with the rest of the NWO or anything (which I would think they would do if they WERE intentionally showcasing the fake NWO Sting for some reason), but a picture of him applying a nerve hold to some guy presumably in New Japan.

[#1-norm-fan]

Dirtsheets hinting WGN America is currently the rumored favorite as TNA's new network home.

That seems like a viable home. A known network but not as much pressure to be get huge ratings right out of the gate or anything. Now if only Dixie would hire someone who can book and just sit back and trust them to build things over time.

[Emperor Smeat]

The biggest problem with WGN (and any non-Spike network) is the amount of scaling down and drastic changes TNA would need to do because of the way lower fees. Think Meltzer from the Observer hinted even with a new network, TNA probably still will collapse in the near future.

Also likely run the risk of shows getting pre-empted or delayed whenever the Bulls/White Sox/Bulls are playing since no way WGN would favor TNA over them.

[Kingofdaswing]

Nah, come on, do you really think I'd ban you over that?

[Tazz Dan]

But still, I understand you have every right to doubt me over something I have decided not to post. And you can mock me all you like and try to be cool about it, but the fact is, I know what the truth is, and I can enjoy it in the comfort of my own time whenever I like. And your opinion on it has no affect on me personally at all :)

Fergal Devitt will be rechristened "Finn Balor" when he debuts for WWE NXT, PWInsider.com has confirmed.

NXT is taping NXT tomorrow 9/25 in Winter Park, FL at Full Sail Live. Devitt may be debuting on that taping.

Well good. Because I plan on bringing it up often. Letting people know you have something awesome but don't wanna show them is just begging for prodding. Like the High School freshman who actively wants everyone to know he's banging a 21 year old supermodel but he doesn't feel like showing her to his friends and swears he doesn't care if they actually believe him. That kid deserves mockery for even bringing it up in the first place.

Dude, I have backed up EVERYTHING I have claimed over the last few months. To me, the fact I'm denying yourself something because you doubted me and you getting so upset about it amuses me. And I'm having fun with it. Like, you can say that it's not upsetting you, and you don't care, but the fact you bring it up all the time says otherwise.

So maybe one day when you let it go, I'll post it. But until then, I'll keep it to myself, and some of my Facebook friends who also post here.

[#1-norm-fan]

I bring it up in a lighthearted manner constantly because it's funny and ripe for parody.

You're entirely too defensive on this subject for someone who doesn't care if they're believed or not.

[Tazz Dan]

I'm not whiney or defensive, your own posts otherwise show that you're being so yourself. I just don't see your point in bringing it up often. And obviously the whole banning thing was a joke, so don't try and use that as anything.

[Tom Guycott]

That seems like a viable home. A known network but not as much pressure to be get huge ratings right out of the gate or anything. Now if only Dixie would hire someone who can book and just sit back and trust them to build things over time.

The biggest problem with WGN (and any non-Spike network) is the amount of scaling down and drastic changes TNA would need to do because of the way lower fees. Think Meltzer from the Observer hinted even with a new network, TNA probably still will collapse in the near future.

Also likely run the risk of shows getting pre-empted or delayed whenever the Bulls/White Sox/Bulls are playing since no way WGN would favor TNA over them.

They've already had to scale down. It was a bit foolish giving up a "home" with starry eyed dreams of competing against WWE this early in their existance... and make no bones about it, TNA is still a far younger company than their "rival"... so that isn't much of an issue. And getting pre-empted in favor of Chicago sports teams is better than having zero TV exposure at all. Also, remember WWE used to be pre-empted for The Westminster Dog Show and tennis tourneys way before they were the juggernaut they are now.

However, that thing about "growing slowly" is the key. TNA already burned up a lot of currency in trying to become red-hot overnight multiple times, repeatedly hitting the reset button like so much late era WCW, and hotshot new talent out of nowhere. Now that they are more on the right track, but that is more from neccessity, and it might prove to be too little too late letting such sins compound on them.

I hope I'm wrong about this, though. No matter what happens, I hope they end up remaining on TV. I hope they get their poop in a group and eventually gain a foothold as a stable and viable alternative for guys and gals to work for, especially when they can pick up misused guys WWE threw away like EC3 and allow him to come into his own instead of burying him (as in keeping him down in the doldrums away from public consumption, not as in intentionally kill his career) down the card. TNA is a bit like the new ECW in that they are the new "island of misfit toys", and guys who otherwise may not have gotten a chance to shine, such as A Double, Bobby Roode, or Samoa Joe, or guys pushed out the picture like Kurt Angle or Ken Kennedy, can continue to get a chance to shine when WWE doesn't "see it" or "has nothing for" them.

I think even the announcers questioned what she was trying to do there.

Hoping next week we get CCTV (or GTV) footage of Ambrose in that room. They throw him in and there's another door on the other side of the room that he just walks out of.

Nailed it!

One little annoyance;

Raw results from the front page always start with the line "Yes, sir, we promise you a great Main Event..." dispite WWE not using that ident for ages.

Dirtsheets:

According to The Wrestling Observer, Steve Austin is expected to return to WWE television in some form soon. WWE has told their distributors to go into heavy production on Austin merchandising, which would be standard for someone who is making a return of some sort, even if it’s for a quick one-off. Appearances on TV often lead to renewed demand for merchandise.

As previously reported, WWE has worked out a deal with Austin where they promote his podcast and he plugs the WWE Network.

Vince McMahon has reportedly had a rule that nobody from the WWE Total Divas cast can hold the Divas Title. It's said that this is one of those rules that can change tomorrow.

On a related note, there has been booking frustration regarding Total Divas. Vince reportedly goes through phases where he wants the RAW storylines to sync with Total Divas. However, Total Divas is taped so far in advance and there are communication issues as to what content airs when and it's not always possible to have everything on the same page.

At the same time, it's said that there are times when Vince doesn't see the issue as being that important.
Only got found out because Brie Bella accidentally revealed it during a recent interview.

The plan as of this week for Hell in a Cell is for Cena vs. Ambrose to be the opening match. The winner gets to face Rollins inside the Cell, while the loser gets the consolation of facing Orton inside the Cell.

Based on what was taped at last week's TNA Impact Wrestling tapings, the November 26th, December 3rd, December 10th and December 17th episodes could end up being "Best Of" shows or compilation shows with little, if any, new content.

Even though Adam Cole is under contract, there have been feelers sent his way from WWE that they are interested in him. Whether that’s why Cole’s name was in the WWE.com interview with Sami Zayn, KENTA, Kevin Steen Adrian Neville and Fergal Devitt or the two things are just a coincidence, not sure.


Some other news and speculations included:
* The final RAW script being scrapped around an hour before the show and being rewritten as the show went on.
* If TNA gets picked up by WGN, early losses would include 25% less households for potential viewers compared to Spike and most of the major wrestling cities (most don't or barely get WGN).

So who the hell is facing Lesnar then?

Ambrose vs. Rollins blood feud will be awesome. The very first HIAC was HBK vs. Undertaker with just the #1 Contendership on the line. But yeah, the Orton vs. Cena in a cell will get booed the fuck out of the building if it happens... again. Cena vs. Rollins may get booed too if it is a really smarky crowd.

I don't think Lesnar is scheduled for the next PPV.

While everyone else will be impressed at how Scott suplexed the Giant, I'll likely be the only one impressed at how Nick Patrick sold it.

Partly because Referees don't seem to do this anymore. But, mainly because I'm a nerd. :-\

Off the top of my head, I think Charles Robinson is the only WWE referee that still does that.

I imagine refs are instructed not to draw attention to themselves at all. They don't even have names anymore. Remember when you had Teddy Long, Tim White, Mike Chioda, Jimmy Korderas, Earl Hebner, etc. a ref bump actually meant something.

If that is true, then it's a bad idea, because it does limit storytelling options.

DDP Yoga’s September 2014 newsletter has revealed that Diamond Dallas Page has signed on with WWE to host “The Best of WCW Monday Nitro, Vol. 3“.

That confirms plans to bring back the Nitro WWE DVD/Blu-ray series next year. DDP hosted the first volume of the series back in 2011 and then the second in 2012.

There’s also talk of DDP being interviewed for a separate project very soon. WWE cameras will film Page at his “Accountability Crib” for a legends feature. As of now, this will most likely end up as a future WWE Network special rather than a DDP DVD release.

Joey Styles loosely referenced “ECW Unreleased, Vol. 3” on his Twitter recently, so that looks to be another possibility for a WWE DVD series returning in 2015.

WWE: ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin Picks Star To Replace Roman Reigns For WrestleMania 31 (http://www.inquisitr.com/1502691/wwe-stone-cold-steve-austin-picks-star-to-replace-roman-reigns-for-wrestlemania-31/)

“Stone Cold” Steve Austin recently took to the “family-friendly” version of his show to discuss his thoughts on the Night of Champions pay-per-view. During that time, a listener question he received inquired about one of the event’s no-shows.

Shortly before his scheduled match with Seth Rollins, the WrestleMania 31-anointed Roman Reigns had emergency surgery for an incarcerated hernia.

While it’s not clear whether Reigns will be out long enough for the surgery to affect the rumored Brock Lesnar-Roman Reigns showdown at the biggest stage of them all, it could mean WWE needs to find an alternate path to this particular storyline.

That said, the questioner asked “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, whom he thought the WWE should call up for the monumental task of taking the strap from Lesnar.

In Austin’s mind, there was only one.

“In regard to the superstar, who has the best chance of rising to the [WrestleMania 31] occasion, I think this is the time, due to what I saw last night [at Night of Champions] out of Cesaro — give Cesaro a bona fide push. I’ve been impressed with that guy’s work for a long time. Sometimes he still overcompensates facially and tries to, you know, his facials could be better. His work is very good. He and Sheamus have great chemistry. I thought, in my opinion, the Sheamus-Cesaro match was the Match of the Night, and I thought Cesaro was gaining momentum when he split off from [Jack] Swagger and Zeb Colter, and they put him with Paul E. [Heyman].

“But I thought from a respect standpoint, fans were starting to gain interest in him without a green light push — just out of respect for his strength and athletic ability and his work ability. He still is missing a thing here or there, but he’s gonna find that. And I don’t know if it’s shaving his head bald, if that kind of Jason Statham look is the best look for him. He continues to put the pieces together, but if there’s anybody that’s a bright spot on the roster, now more than ever, it’s Cesaro in my opinion.”

Austin’s pick of Cesaro is certainly not without its supporters. Unfortunately, the “King of Swing” may find the WWE itself to be his toughest hurdle for acceptance.

Several reports recently flooded in, stating that company officials confiscated signs showing support for Cesaro in his match against Sheamus at the NOC pay-per-view. While it could be because the WWE wants to push Cesaro as a heel and fan support contradicts that, how they continue to handle the superstar gives fans cause for greater concern in that he loses most every big match he’s booked in, including the Sheamus match.

Do you think “Stone Cold” Steve Austin is right in picking Cesaro as the guy WWE needs to focus on?

Just thought of something - why can't Cody add a touch of face paint so that we can start calling them the "Rhode Warriors"?

Accidently jumped to the first page and saw this. Guess park called it, huh? Well, maybe not the name, but a crystal ball isn't always so clear.

I'm sure it's been posted before, but this is one of, if not the, wildest brawl I've ever seen.

Seth82 will be quite familiar.

It sure is.

Here's the one that happened in 1981.

It featured Atsushi Onita/Masa Fuchi versus Ricky Morton/Eddie Gilbert.

This one is possibly even more nastier then the one in 1979.

<object width="480" height="360"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/2ILpoJzDg8c?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/2ILpoJzDg8c?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="360" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

Onita and Gilbert were both heavily influenced by this match and the Memphis style.

Onita created FMW based around wild hardcore matches like this using all sorts of stuff.

Eddie Gilbert booked the early ECW shows much like Memphis.

Dirtsheets:

According to 411mania, former University of Minnesota linebacker Mike Rallis has followed in the footsteps of fellow Minnesota alumni Brock Lesnar and Shelton X Benjamin as the newest WWE NXT Superstar, Digg Rawlis.

We noted that The Smart Athletic Friends stable with Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods would have different nicknames for each tag team combination of the trio.

While the combination of Xavier and Kofi is called Speed Force, the combination of Big E and Xavier is called Muscle Bomb. They worked as babyfaces and defeated Los Matadores at last night's WWE live event in Moline, IL.

It was reported earlier this week that Samoa Joe's injury was a shoulder injury but word is that he's dealing with rib issue also. Joe was hurt on the first night of tapings in Bethlehem, PA but worked through the week, which made things worse. Joe ended up not going to India for the TNA promotional tour with Kurt Angle.

James Storm and The Great Sanada vs. Tajiri and The Great Muta has been confirmed to be the TNA Bound For Glory main event in Japan. That match likely will not air as the main event on the regular pay-per-view feed here in the United States and in other countries.

Kurt Angle on his final contract and retirement plans:
"I can’t really say who I’m going with yet or what company I’m going to sign with. I am going to sign, but I’m going to just sign for one year, and that’s that. I think I’m pretty much done, I’m just going to have the best year I can have. Hopefully it’ll be my best year, then I’m going to retire," Angle told AlternativeNation.net in a new interview. Angle continues to keep his name in the public as he rehabs from knee surgery.

Angle says he will not be cleared to wrestle again until January, but a press conference is scheduled for sometime in October to announce his new deal.

"I went with the company that was going to really emphasize what I wanted, and that was a limited wrestling schedule," Angle said. "I would say no more than 40 dates a year, that’s what I wanted, that’s where I feel I am at in my career right now. That’s a lot of the reason, like I said, the company that I’m signing with is a company that really wanted to take care of me, both from a wrestling standpoint and a financial standpoint, and I’m very happy with it."
Supposed to announce who he signed during next month.


Some other dirtsheet stuff included Brie vs Nikki Hell in a Cell match currently planned for the next ppv.

Dirtsheets:

The UK launch of WWE Network has been delayed, it has been confirmed.

Originally expected to arrive in October, the subscription-based online video channel's new launch date will now be confirmed by the beginning of November.

Reports of a potential partnership deal are thought to be behind the delay, following confirmation that BSkyB will continue to exclusively broadcast WWE's flagship shows in the UK and Ireland through to 2019.

There is speculation BSkyB may become involved in a deal similar to the Canadian pay channel set-up between WWE and Rogers Communications.

HHH has taken serious thought to an in ring return as his match against Daniel Bryan at Wrestlemania 30 was met with much positive feedback. HHH has decided to focus more on strikes rather than grappling and has reportedly put together several punishing strike combinations in an effort to change his style. Many have jokingly referred to these as haitch combos. No word yet on if the in ring return will come to fruition.

Jim Ross recently spoke with sportingnews.com, and discusses his desire to do commentary for New Japan Pro Wrestling. Here are the highlights…

Is He Interested in Doing English Commentary For NJPW?: “I’m very interested in doing special projects and that certainly would be on that list of a special project. And I think if they were serious about their marketing of their pay-per-views — and I guess their big show is January 4th — that if they were really serious about that event being a hit in the English-speaking countries, that I might be able to help them.

Has He Had Any Talks With NJPW?: “I have had no (contact) with the decision-makers within the New Japan organization, we have yet to engage in any discussions.”

As we previously reported, a motion was filed in the United States District Court of Connecticut earlier this month by several WWE stockholders. They are suing WWE for the period of time they were negotiating new TV deals. The stock went up due to speculation.

The plaintiffs have requested that all of the lawsuits should be merged into one against WWE. WWE filed a motion on September 26 agreeing with the request. A ruling has not yet been made.


Next two sheets are about current plans regarding Ambrose vs Cena for Hell in a Cell ppv. Baring a sudden change, one of these situations will occur:
Dean vs Cena at pay per view. The winner faces Seth and loser faces Orton.

Dean vs Cena at Raw 1 or 2 weeks the pay per view to face Rollins. The loser either faces Orton or be the "keeper of the key" outside of the Cell match.


Some other sheet news include a former WWE writer confirming Vince is the big reason why booking in general is a huge mess and needs major rehauling done.

I'm a bit sketchy on this subject, but I've heard that the WWE Network isn't really that great in Canada because of Rogers. Something about it not having nearly as much content as it does in the US?

I get the feeling that over here, it'll just be like another TV Channel, but exclusive to Sky customers. If so, then the WWE Network and Sky can bugger off.

Or perhaps it'll only be available through Now TV.

http://www.wwe.com/inside/british-sensation-ricki-starr-passes-away-at-83-26693881

WWE is saddened to learn of the passing of Ricki Starr, 83, a talented grappler most famous for his balletic moves in the ring and his nearly unbeaten streak in British wrestling promotions during the 1960s and 1970s.

Our deepest condolences go out to Starr's family, friends and fans.

The whole thing with Ambrose is almost reminiscent of how Austin got over. Not just in similar character traits, but the amount of luck involved.

Austin won the KOTR in 96 because (rumour has it) HHH had the win pulled from him as punishment for the Curtain Call incident. Without Austin being put in that role, against Jake Roberts, we get no "Austin 3:16", one of the biggest branding successes in the history of wrestling.

Next, and arguably the single match that put Austin over the top was a match he was never scheduled to have. The original plan for WM13 was for a HBK/Hart rematch, until Shawn "lost his smile" and we got the classic match between Hart and Austin, and the shot of Austin bleeding in the Sharpshooter before passing out.

Hopefully Ambrose can use this opportunity (with no Punk, Bryan, Reigns) to catapult himself into the stratosphere.

I never visit Reddit, so I'm still trying to get it to work.

I'm sure I'm using it wrong. I click on "load more comments" and I get them, but it just makes the site go slower and slower the more comments I read. Surely that's not how it's made to work?

Anyway, from what I've gotten so far.

Any obscure stories that you haven't told from backstage?

Thanks for the AMA!

Zack Ryder

Zack is kind of boring. Low key and shy. Not much too him really.

Seth Rollins?

Standoffish. Can be a dick. But also at times very cool.

What about jack swagger? Any good stories?

For some reason he always wanted to talk to me. I'm almost positive he was high most of the time.

Christian pls.

He's quiet. Kind of keeps to himself. I always got the sense the he felt out of place. He's close to the guys that are still around from the late 90's like Jericho and Kane. But he doesn't talk much to the newer guys.

Daniel Bryan.

Was always kind of a dick. I think a dick is the wrong word. He just was odd. I don't know how to explain it.

In one of the RAWs I attended (the one after Summerslam last year) a bunch of fans gathered around the parking lot exit where the superstars leave. Bryan was driving the Bella Twins when he came out and totally ignored the crowd. All the other superstars at least waved or honked.

He's kind of a dick.

kindest person backstage?
