I remember the Sunny thing being her charging for a "Skype session". Like... she at least passed it off as just "Talk to Sunny on Skype for 50 bucks". Apparently now she's flat out saying there will be boobs and, for the right price, diddling of vagina.

So anyone else hear about this whole "pay Sunny $50 to take her top off and watch you jack off on skype" thing?

I have to pay HER to watch ME jack off? Seems like I should be getting paid.

Dirtsheets:

TNA will be returning to the Manhattan Center in New York City on 1/7, 1/8 and 1/9 for the first episodes of Impact Wrestling on Destination America, the promotion officially announced this afternoon. PWInsider.com noted a few weeks ago that the company had those dates on hold with the Manhattan Center. TNA had looked into doing tapings next month in Michigan, but it wasn't going to work out logistically.

WWE was rewriting a lot of yesterday's show pretty late yesterday. So late that when the Raw Pre-Game went on the air on the WWE Network, it was announced that John Cena was going to name the new Raw General Manager. Later on, it was amended that the WWE Board of Directors would name the new GM. Instead, they had the return of the Anonymous Raw GM at the close of the show

PWInsider reports that Sting has signed a performers contract with WWE, but there's no word yet on how long it's for or what the details are. As noted, Sting reportedly didn't get the call to come in until Thursday. Sting is not expected to work any WWE live events and will likely work very few TV tapings. We noted yesterday that there's talk now of wrestling more than one match, but not many more than that. Part of WWE's plan with Sting will be to tease him a lot until he's needed for a big event

He might be gone from WWE, but CM Punk has left a presence in the company. Nearly ten months after his last appearance for the sports-entertainment organization, fans continue to chant for the Chicago native at live events. This often occurs during matches featuring his wife, AJ Lee. While WWE has been able to censor signs acknowledging the former WWE Superstar, this may now extend to chants. According to a fan who sat ringside at last night's Survivor Series pay-per-view event at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri, WWE personnel directed security members for the venue to not allow fans to chant "CM Punk."

Mick Foley's comedy show at The Bell House in Brooklyn on Sunday night received rave reviews from fans in attendance. It was filmed by WWE for future use on the WWE Network

Some other sheets news include the WWE adding their Youtube shows to the Network's library under the category "As seen on Youtube." Also last night's RAW had one of its highest 8pm hour (4.7 million) in a while although the 9pm spot (3.9 million) took a huge dive once people realized Sting wasn't showing and the stuff happening in Ferguson.

How many turns did he have in WCW? I'm thinking at least 4 or 5.

[Hanso Amore]

Dungeon of doom to face against now
Face against now to joining nwo
Turning face again and feuding with Nash

That's all I remember

[Evil Vito]

Dungeon of doom to face against now
Face against now to joining nwo
Turning face again and feuding with Nash

That's all I remember

<font color=goldenrod>Those are all right. Then he turned heel again to join nWo Black and White around Spring 1998 and he stayed with them until December or so when he disappeared.

I think he also turned semi-face in his final night with the company although I'd need to watch the episode to remember how it all went down. He showed up after the nWo factions had merged and they beat the shit out of him and spraypainted him.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I've said this in the Raw thread, but Big Show has to be one of, if not the worst booked character in history. They turn him at an alarming rate, and each time he turns they fizzle out on him within a month or two. Then he's just sorta there until someone thinks they should try and make him relevant again, at which point they decide the quickest way to do it is to turn him again.

Not to mention the big strong powerful giant being reduced to a big crybaby almost every time he goes face. I could understand maybe having someone break him down emotionally once...but every single time he goes face?

It's a shame too, because I actually like the Big Show. Maybe it's because I grew up with WCW and he's one of the few WCW alumni still wrestling. I feel like he could have actually been someone would pay to see lose to the underdog hero after he had a run terrifying the rest of the roster with his size. But he's shifted around so much that there's very little reason to get emotionally invested in anything his character does. Imagine if they had booked Andre the Giant this way?</font>

Some Lionheart guy made a big long post about how AJ should stop using it.

Was it AJ's fault or was it like the ROH incident where the other dude fucked up?

[Emperor Smeat]

Similar to the ROH and recent incidents where Yoshi tucked his head during the move.

Think the ROH guy was his 2nd time getting injured by that move and both from tucking his head.

[James Steele]

When did Yoshi get released? I fucking loved Yoshi Tatsu.

[James Steele]

AJ should quit using it because it is a stupid looking finisher.

had a decent length back and forth with some spastic on Twitter about this earlier. He should drop the move for sure

it is but the kicker is that it defies pretty much the very first thing you have drilled into you when you train to be a wrestler, or at least when you first take bumps which is "tuck your head". You could do that move 100 times without incident in a training session, before a show etc and 100 times it would be fine. Change that to 30 minutes into a match when you're exhausted, running on instincts/muscle memory, in front of giant loud audience, get hoisted upside down and it's an easy mistake to make. I could understand if the move was over as fuck or looked great and whatnot but it's not and it pretty much always looks a bit shit. Baffles me that he still uses it.

I dunno, I feel like you could say that about a lot of moves though. Not specifically the head positioning thing but just taking them just right.

[Emperor Smeat]

WWE officials were still considering John Cena vs. Randy Orton vs. Seth Rollins for next month's TLC pay-per-view but Orton's return could be held off until that show. Erick Rowan vs. Big Show is also scheduled for TLC, likely in a gimmick match.

[Emperor Smeat]

If anyone is interested, CM Punk was on the Art of Wrestling podcast this week and besides talking about his time in the WWE (both good and bad), also revealed stuff that eventually lead to him suddenly leaving.

The thing that broke the straw was him getting a concussion at the Rumble and the mess regarding how the WWE wanted to handle his medical tests.

[CSL]

I dunno, I feel like you could say that about a lot of moves though. Not specifically the head positioning thing but just taking them just right.

that's the specific problems with this, it's all about the head. I can't think of another move (off the top of my head, obviously not counting things like Flapjacks where the momentum does everything for you) where tucking your head is the opposite of what you're supposed to do, you always tuck your head. That's what causes the injuries, either guys tucking their head or AJ being like 5'9 and the head being way too close to the floor. There's no doubt a certain amount of responsibility lies with the ones that tucked their heads but a much larger amount of responsibility lies with AJ knowing how easily that mistake can be made "in the heat of the moment". There's no excuse for him to carry on using it. A one off is unlucky, for it to have happened at least 5 or 6 times that I'm personally aware of and to have two guys break their necks in the last 6-7 months is a problem that needs addressing.

[Nicky Fives]

[whiteyford]

It's a shit looking move anyways to be honest.

[CSL]

really is, that's probably the daftest part of the whole thing

[Maluco]

Totally with CSL on this, it now seems like the mistake is one that could be made by anyone at any time, because it is now a regular thing. There is no excuse to keep using the move.

Actually think it is really irresponsible and selfish on his part that he hasn't stopped. It has already caused people a lot of suffering and it could kill someone someday.

It is a wresting move at the end of the day, and we are talking about peoples' lives and health and jobs...

Dirtsheets:

The final show of the year is the TLC PPV, on 12/14 from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. Announced at this point are Dean Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt in a TLC match and Kane vs. Ryback in a chairs match. Big Show vs. Erick Rowan is also on the schedule, probably in some form of a gimmick match. Luke Harper vs. Dolph Ziggler is also being teased for the IC title. The main event, likely a ladder or tables match or something related to the main theme, was talked about last week as Cena vs. Rollins vs. Orton, but Orton’s return could be held off until that show. The only thing is Orton is scheduled to return any week now and he, Reigns, Mysterio and Lesnar are all to be regular figures on television starting very soon. It also appears there will be a Nikki Bella vs. A.J. Lee Divas title match.

AJ Lee is not leaving WWE, despite rumors to the contrary. We killed off the rumor last week in Ask WNW but new questions surfaced following her booking at Sunday’s Survivor Series pay-per-view. It was there, AJ was put under Nikki Bella in less than a minute after Brie distracted her with a kiss.

We can confirm AJ Lee is on the booking sheets for several upcoming shows and remains under a WWE Performer’s Contract. The booking of Brie and her re-alliance with Nikki is part of a heel turn.
So Brie really did turn heel and the whole feud leading to the butler stip was for nothing in the end.

The Total Divas reality series has significant influence on the booking of WWE storylines. We reported earlier this month how the push of Tyson Kidd was in direct connection to the producers of Total Divas being high up on the Nattie/TJ segments. That followed our October report, where we previewed the push before it happened.


Some other sheet news include TNA signing Josh Matthews as their lead announce and trying to get Mike Teenay to resign with them so he doesn't go to Jeff Jarrett's GFW.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol Wait, that can't be how the Bellas feud ends up. With them subtly becoming friends again presumably off-screen.

Some highlights include Colt Cabana is now blacklisted by the WWE, Vince is upset but nowhere near Triple H who's hatred of Punk is at an all-time high, WWE management wants the whole situation "swept under the rug", and even those who really hated Punk in the WWE agree about the stuff he exposed.

He dropped the environment stuff, and just became this sort of "fun" boss that was also firm when he needed to be, and wasn't plastered all over the show. He was also a Sting mark and would search for Sting in the rafters constantly.

Very cool, Joey Mercury plays a lost puppy really well. You can see Jamie Noble is living it up in his face, but he also comes off well in his role. Happy for them getting some sort of exposure.

They were always tasked with mid-card status, but they are people too

[Mr. Nerfect]

Jamie Noble always entertained me. I actually pitched a random idea on here where he would become Vince McMahon's "Pit Bull" (this was around the time he was teaming with Kid Kash and Kash was on the oust). Vince would bring him to the ring and then tell him to "go" and Noble would pick apart the babyface he was sicked on.

In an odd roundabout sort of way, he kind of did that for The Authority -- only as more of a goof -- which he plays well.

And main evented a Raw. :love:

[Mr. Nerfect]

i still want bryan to have his tune up match with noble when he comes back not a ppv but a raw.

They wrestled at a house show in Bryan's hometown one year. That would have been cool to see. I wonder if the company recorded it and could put it on a DVD some year.

Jamie Noble doesn't really have the credibility to be a tune-up opponent for Bryan, I guess, but maybe they could, I dunno, give him some? Like not a World Title push or anything, but maybe Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble get into a disagreement one day, Mercury slaps Noble and Noble takes him down. Seth could get between them and Noble could scream in Rollins' face that he quits. Face turn. Noble wrestles and is actually surprisingly good, and maybe then he can be used sporadically as a part-time guy.

Fuck it, Mercury vs. Noble could be used as a bit of an attraction in the mid-card of a PPV. Didn't The Mean Street Posse vs. Patterson & Brisco actually get a really high TV rating? The idea of two guys who are sort of stooges actually fighting until there is one winner has a weird sort of appeal to it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I would also mark out if Jamie Noble, using his stint with The Authority to gain some pull, came out with the Cruiserweight Title over his shoulder as Seth Rollins' guy still. The title wouldn't be officially brought back, but Noble could just jokingly declare himself the permanent Cruiserweight Champion. I don't know, I'm just spit-balling now.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Noble & Mercury as Tag Champs would be great too. It's not like the division is super-hot at the moment.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Miz & Sandow are destined to split, so why not have Mercury & Noble be the team that beats them? This gets under Miz's skin so much that he fires Sandow, leading to the face turn, and then Noble & Mercury can be dirty rotten scoundrels with the titles for a few weeks.

Dirtsheets:

They are taking a similar risk as WWE, in the sense they are undercutting the price of iPPVs, as the big shows have been 1800 yen, and the Tokyo Dome was last year around 3500 yen, looking to increase volume with the lower price. WWE was not successful in the same strategy. They also also apparently giving up Samurai! TV, as the shows that were formerly on Samurai! TV, like the Korakuen Hall shows, will now by on the service.

*If you time your order, you would be able to watch the entire G-1 Climax series for $8.40 instead of $150 from two years ago and $110 this past year. When it comes to the U.S. market, they are undercutting themselves, but the U.S. is not their primary market.

*The first year goal is 100,000 subscribers.
The Observer on a few details regarding New Japan's NJPWWorld network.

The mood backstage today is very tense. Everyone is doing their best to stay away from both Triple H and Stephanie. I was told that there was a long closed door meeting today with Triple H, Stephanie and Vince.

As was previously reported, WWE officials were reportedly considering the idea of a Triple H vs. Ryback match sometime after the start of the year based on the recent interactions they’ve had on TV. The discussion was to have the match at the Royal Rumble in order to build Ryback up toward a big match at WrestleMania 31.

However, that seems to no longer be the case. The Wrestling Observer reports that officials are cold on the idea of that match after Ryback’s match against Cesaro on Raw, which wasn’t well-received. It’s worth noting that the report says nothing about CM Punk’s comments about him or his reaction on Twitter, so there is no indication these played into the decision.

As noted here yesterday, Nikki Bella's promo on this week's episode of SmackDown was heavily edited on the Syfy broadcast. Only around one-third of her promo ended up making the air. Here is a transcript from the original promo:

"I'm not going to say trashy, classless things like Ms. Lee did because unlike Ms. Lee, I actually care about the kids that sit in this audience. It's time that everyone heard the real truth about AJ Lee. Yes, we heard over and over and over again your sob story. Yes, we have heard over and over about how hard you worked. But you wanna know what? I have worked harder. The biggest difference between you and me is that I don't have to go tell everyone so they like me. And most important, that is what makes me fearless.

"You wanna know why you don't have any friends? It's because you're so threatened by anyone who doesn't like you. AJ, I want you to take a good hard look at what a woman is, a real woman, a classy woman! I want you to take a look at what a real Divas champion looks like. AJ, I want you to know that forever, through these fearless eyes, you will always be that pathetic manipulating little girl from New Jersey."

Nikki and John Cena both commented on the promo edits, with Nikki joking “Looks like this #fearless diva is too hot for #SmackDown & #WWE” while Cena said, “Even if they did not air the entire thing, I am proud of @bellatwins for speaking from the heart. #asslikekim”

Former AWA broadcast team member Rodger Kent (a/k/a Rodger Vogel) died on Friday at age 90, according to MuseumOfBroadcasting.com. There will be a memorial service for Kent held at the Pavek Museum of Broadcasting in St. Louis Park, Minnesota on December 14.

Powell's POV: Kent worked with the AWA for roughly 25 years and also worked in radio in the Twin Cities for a number of years following a stint with ABC radio. He resided in Cook, Minnesota at the time of his death.

seriously Vince
so wrong about Ceasaro he had it till you killed it

[Damian Rey]

Yeah. Vince kept saying he listens to his audience and wants to make stars, yet he blatantly pulled the rug out from under Cesaro, cut off or tried to cut off both Punk and Bryan's momentum, and consistently depushes guys as their getting over.

My wife commented on these comments and chuckled when he stated he wasn't out of touch.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Funny how they kept calling it a podcast. It's only a podcast if and when they release it on audio.

It's an interview.

[XL]

This Scsa/Vince podcast is great

I'll sum up Vince's philosophy here:

"We listen to our audience in order to to give them what they want...except for when we think it's not what they really want. We give them what they really want...and if they don't like it they're critics, and we don't care what critics think."

It was a great show/interview and Vince almost had me convinced that he isn't massively out of touch. Until you think back to the start of the year, when every arena they went to was going wild for Bryan...and they had him pencilled in for a match against Sheamus at Mania.

Cesaro is another one. Yeah, I agree he's not great on the mic, but he got over inspite of that. Find a work around. Don't kill the momentum.

And the whole deal about how "nobody in the back wants it nowadays"? What!? You're telling me a guy like Ziggler who goes out there and bumps like crazy every night, trying to steal the show every night, doesn't do it to get noticed? Because he's hungry?

I get the feeling Vince thinks everybody should be like him; a top-dog, alpha male who will trample anybody to get what he wants (then act like it was their fault they got trampled), so when you have a guy like Bryan - who's allegedly quite laid-back - he passes him off as "not wanting it bad enough".

I dunno. It was a great listen, and it'd make a great series of interviews but there were some things that just didn't sit right/make sense. Maybe Vince has toe the line too much to conserve public image.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Did the Minute Men in GTA come before The Real Americans formed? Cesaro always makes me think about the foreign member of those missions.

Cesaro was doing his five language gimmick on the Survivor Series Pre-show. If that doesn't show that its the writers who are killing him I don't know what will.

[whiteyford]

Cesaro is alright on the mic, it's the fact everything is written out that seems to be the stumbling block for a lot of the talent. give them bullet points and let them sink or swim on the mic, at least it doesn't sound forced then and they might catch fire with a catchphrase.

[Big Vic]

Yeah Cesaro is better on the mic than Reigns.

[Damian Rey]

That's another thing. Vince stated he looks for charisma or it factor. Reigns has neither. He's piss fucking boring in the ring and on the mic.

[Vastardikai]

The perfect wrestler right now would be if Reigns (who is a good worker) had Ryback's charisma.

[Razzamajazz]

it's the gigantic nipples, that has to be it

[Vastardikai]

I'd also argue this about Cesaro: If Vince ever watches the JBL show enough to see Cesaro's work there, they'd see he's actually got a casual charisma that would work more towards being a face.

I think Reigns is a perfect tag team guy, the arena explodes when he gets tagged in. But as a singles wrestler he isn't much to write home about.

[Damian Rey]

He's not. And even with Ryback, they give him these boring big guy promos with short lines instead of something more real, like the promo he cut with Brandy about WWE needing a hero. That was leaps and bounds better than anything they've actually aired with him on Raw.

[Tom Guycott]

http://i.imgur.com/9M5MUpq.jpg

Who is that in front of Rusev? That supposed to be Titty Master?

[Tom Guycott]

I'd also argue this about Cesaro: If Vince ever watches the JBL show enough to see Cesaro's work there, they'd see he's actually got a casual charisma that would work more towards being a face.

You know what else worked toward being a face? The crowd chanting for him and popping wild and counting for the giant swing. Eveyone want him to turn on Heyman, and they teased a face turn... then he just split frm Heyman for no reason and with no angle or blow off and let him free fall.

But that's Cesaro's fault, I bet. :roll:

Along that same line, Axel should at least have been a solid midcarder by now. Instead, he was put in the role for Heyman that J&J Security is in for Rollins. Getting a couple flukey wins then getting jobbed ad made to look like a dumbass lackey isn't the way to follow through with touting a future star.

[Vastardikai]

I'd say, if nothing else, have a bit where Swagger is getting beaten down by Rusev, only for Cesaro to make the save. Reunite the Real Americans as faces, but have them do things in singles matches on occasion.

[Damian Rey]

Axel was screwed from the on set. They had a chance to legitimize him in his match with Triple H and had Triple H beat him up to the point where his concussion symptoms gave way. Real awesome way to give a needing superstar the rub.

Here's my issue with the Vince/Cesaro stuff. I don't have a problem with his comments about Cesaro not having the "it" factor or charisma. He's right. But... you've got this Andre the Giant battle royal that you wanna start doing every year. Why the fuck do you make the inaugural winner someone who you don't think has what it takes to use it as a catapult to being a star? Then you throw him with Paul Heyman for a couple months just to change your mind and drop it out of the blue. So now you've already made winning this yearly WrestleMania battle royal mean shit from the start since you've shown that winning it doesn't mean you're going anywhere and you've made being a "Paul Heyman guy" mean shit for future Paul Heyman guys because the guys he's been managing outside of Brock have gone on to not do shit.

If you don't think he's got it, then just pick someone else. Don't ruin potentially meaningful accomplishments for any future guys by giving them to a guy you don't think has what it takes. It's fucking retarded.

[Emperor Smeat]

Still laugh at how much they hyped up the Andre trophy being a really prestigious thing to own while in reality it barely lasted a week before getting destroyed and quickly forgotten by commentary.

[Emperor Smeat]

WWE’s website is no longer listing WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar for next week’s Slammy Awards RAW from Greenville, South Carolina. Lesnar had been advertised for a few months now.

The Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville has also pulled Lesnar from their website listing for RAW.

Here are the current RAW tapings that WWE has Lesnar advertised for:

Dec. 15, 2014 - Detroit, MI
Dec. 29, 2014 - Washington, D.C
Jan. 12, 2015 - New Orleans, LA
Jan. 19, 2015 - Dallas, TX
Jan. 26, 2015 - Hartford, CT

Wouldn't be surprised if this is the reason to the sudden change done to Cena's guaranteed title shot. TLC is on the 14th and WWE probably didn't want Lesnar to overshadow the event if he showed up early and wasn't wrestling.

Really want Rollins to get that title shot just to see the possibility of a MitB holder cashing in on his own match. Rollins can lose by DQ but soften Lesnar up (with some help) and cash in right away. Can make Lesnar a bigger beast if he can overcome that or go in a new direction for Mania's title match if the WWE still has cold feet on Lesnar's reign.

I don't see how Reigns has the it factor. I remember JR mentioning how guys like Buff Bagwell were great in an 8x10 but offered little else. This is how I see Reigns. Looks great in photos, looks great walking in the ring, then, once the light turns on, it's over. Any appeal he's garnered to that point goes poof. That's why I don't understand what they see in him.

Two unrelated thoughts.

1) Becky Lynch gives me a large boner.

2) I like Gold and Stardust because they represent two stages of crazy. Stardust is someone starting his descent into psychosis without fully understanding why he feels the way he does yet, whilst Goldust is a grizzled veteran of crazy who is subtle and subdued in his own dementia. It's a cool dynamic.

Also, the NXT crowd crack me up.

Two episodes ago, they counted down Baron Corbin's match in seconds. It ended at 22 seconds, so they started chanting "TWENTY TWO! TWENTY TWO!".

Bull Dempsey made a quick entrance during Corbin's exit, passing him on the ramp for another squash match. The crowd started counting the match again, but as soon as they got past 22 seconds, they started booing and chanting "BARON'S BETTER! BARON'S BETTER!".

Not to mention the "BUTT TATTOO!" chant for CJ Parker. Hilarious.

Dirtsheets:

For the first time, historically, there is proof that streaming is affecting the volume of television viewing ... The key aspect of it and how it relates to wrestling and MMA is that its niche audience will become more important because it’ll be tougher to get new fans. The key to television in the past has been its ability to make new fans of people switching the dial and seeing something and getting into it. With specialized services, you are relying not on people finding it themselves, but word of mouth buzz among friends. But if cable constricts, ratings will decline and there won’t be people switching channels and finding what’s good on and watching, but the audience will be those who always watch as a pattern. In other words, the regular fan base will become more important and marketing to the casual audience will become more difficult than ever. And introducing a new product for mass consumption won’t have the barrier of needing to get on television, but it will be umpteen times harder to get anything but a cult audience.
So theoretically WWE is looking at a really bad ratings future once it drops to a certain point and likely won't have Cena's audience as the basis for this new future audience (already bailing out in high numbers).

The Hell in a Cell PPV, headlined by Cena vs. Orton and Ambrose vs. Rollins, did 21,000 domestic buys and 56,000 international buys. The international buys were up due to the U.K., but the previous domestic low was 31,000, and it’s not like network numbers were any higher. Survivor Series is the one where it’ll be interesting if anyone bought the thing when it was offered free.

We were told most, but certainly not all, of the WWE talent loved some of what he said what he said. Many were not happy about him complaining about his booking when he was booked better than all but a few guys over the past three years ... One major name, while seeing Punk’s side on the medical issue and some other issues , felt most of the interview was “sour grapes.”

Many felt he came off badly about complaining that he was booked against HHH at WrestleMania, noting he’d be in one of the top matches and would get ample time to promote it. McMahon in the Austin podcast said that WrestleMania wasn’t about one main event these days, although Punk’s argument to that is that the guys in the one real main event get paid far better than just about anyone else on the show ...

Another person who knows several major WWE talents said, discounting the few that will parrot whatever Punk said, his experience is that there was a feeling that Punk’s comments on Ryback were unprofessional and cheap, and that nobody bought Ryback kicked Punk as hard as he could or intentionally broke his ribs ... Almost nobody had any sympathy for his injury situation, noting that every top guy on the roster that works a full schedule has a litany of injuries.

CM Punk's recent podcast with Colt Cabana has naturally drawn a lot of attention and thought. He talked about his departure from WWE, battling injuries and the company's policies. The industry took notice, including Rene Dupre, the second-generation star who broke into WWE as a teenager and is now a regular in Japan. Dupre recalled his own health scare, where his head exploded.

To tell the story, you have to go back in time, to the fall of 2005, when Dupre was on the WWE roster, a singles competitor on the Smackdown roster ... He had a hematoma on his right temple, a deep bruise that looked worse than it felt. At the Smackdown taping, he was given the night off -- he was supposed to wrestle The Big Show.

"They were going to put me in the ring, but then Michael Hayes came around and said, 'Hey man, can you actually work?' I said, 'I don't know.' I wasn't going to go in the ring, regardless. I had this massive thing on my head. I went in and talked to Stephanie [McMahon], and Stephanie said, 'No, take the night off.'"

After the show, Dupre boarded a flight to Cincinnati. He went to the restroom on the plane and a sudden change in cabin pressure changed everything.

"The pressure in the cabin changes when you touch down, and the f---ing thing just exploded in the lavatory. It looked like I got shot in the head there was so much blood. I was wearing a white Gold's Gym t-shirt and it was covered in blood," Dupre recalled for SLAM! Wrestling ...

"But when the paramedics and EMTs and said, 'Listen, you've got to go to the hospital now, because ... you could die.' Chris Candido had died a few months earlier from a blood clot in his leg -- I had one in my f---ing temple," recalled Dupre.

"But I could see the trainer, when the EMTs were talking, our trainer was looking at me, shaking his head 'no' because it would have cost the company too much money. Basically, that's what I got [from the trainer]." Instead, Dupre boarded the connecting flight from Cincinnati to Louisville, like a good company soldier.

Back in Louisville, he did have surgery under WWE-approved doctors, which the WWE did pay for. A scar remains from the incident and surgery to this day. "The way I look at it, I risked my life to save the company a few extra bucks." ...

"One time, Johnny Stamboli, he got berated in front of the locker room because he was icing his shoulder -- and that's when I thought, 'Holy f---.' That's one thing my dad always told me too, 'If you're hurt, don't let any of the office see it.' And that's coming from a guy from the '50s. That's a long tradition in wrestling; if you're hurt, don't let the office see it because then they'll think, 'Aw, this guy's not strong enough, he's not tough enough to hack it.'"

Some other sheet news include the 2nd week in a row RAW started off with huge numbers in 8pm (4.23 million) and then crashed by 11pm (3.47 million) because the audience was tired of waiting for someone to show up (ex. Sting last week, Bryan this week).

[Droford]

Sting's deal he signed was for 6 total appearances. So he's only going to show up 4 times between now and the final Raw before WM...

I heard this live when it happened and it was pretty awesome. I laugh every time he called him a redneck cause the Briscoes are from a small town in Delaware about 15 minutes from where I live.

[Anybody Thrilla]

The more I think about it, The Usos are a lot of fun. Props to those guys, for sure.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Also, act like that theme isn't a jam. I dare you.

[Fignuts]

It's not great.

COME AT ME BRO

[Lock Jaw]

The Usos the best... How can anyone not like them.....

Wish they never lost the tag titles.... With their loss, ended a period of "glory" for the tag division where it was consistently pushed and treated as "big", dating back to Team Hell No's reign.

[whiteyford]

Think they just need more teams as opposed to two guys treading water tagging for a few weeks.

<font color=goldenrod>WWE has added "and Stairs" to the end of the PPV title because of the Big Show/Erick Rowan match. So its now "Tables, Ladders, and Chairs...and Stairs"

Seriously.</font>

No way. I joked about that in the SmackDown thread.

<font color=goldenrod>All joking aside, I think adding a stairs match is quite a step down for the PPV.</font>

How often do WWE promote matches for the following week's Raw? I'm trying to recall a time when they've booked towards a match for the following week and then started the show with that match, instead of the usual 20 minutes of talking to set up the main event for the evening.

[Tazz Dan]

So, Batista is in the new James Bond Movie. Cool for him I guess :y:

Very rarely. Think the cage match between Jericho and Bray was the last time that happened. Not sure if there was another this year.

Snare:



Schmuck Bait (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SchmuckBait): The October 28, 1999 episodehttp://static.mediatropes.info/pmwiki/pub/external_link.gif (http://slashwrestling.com/smackdown/991028.html) of SmackDown! saw Austin use this against DX with tremendous success. First, he caught Road Dogg in a bear trap. Second, he caught Billy Gunn (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Wrestling/BillyGunn) with "the ol' snare on the ground." Then he called up X-Pac (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Wrestling/SeanWaltman) on his cell phone and mentioned Casey Kasem (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/CaseyKasem) and his catchphrase, "Keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars," and then dropped some ceiling tiles on him. The show ended with the recovered DX in the ring. HHH called out Austin, who answered and proceeded to run them down, saying that "Badass" Billy Gunn should be called "Dumbass Billy Gunn," and called X-Pac "so damn stupid, so damn stupid." Austin started heading down to the ring to face DX when a net fell on them.

Wouldn't Brienne be the maiden, Nikki would replace the bear.

Dirtsheets:

"He absolutely buried the entire locker room with the [John] Cena was the last guy to reach for the brass ring comment. He went out of his way to not get in a public war of words with [CM] Punk, but Punk clearly reached for the brass ring. [Daniel] Bryan is a little different. He’s complacent and his gimmick so pushed him through the roof. Dolph [Ziggler] has really busted his ass [to get to the top], but never understood how to combat HHH’s perception of him and subsequent constant burials behind the scenes, or how Michael Hayes would bury him just to cozy up to HHH and show him, 'I’ll back you up in conversations with Vince.' But the comment was just such an indictment, and a terrible one, on the whole crew."
The above supposedly came from an unnamed WWE superstar regarding their reactions to what Vince said and what is likely going to happen to Ziggler's post-Survivor Series push.

WWE's website has a new article up on British wrestling legend and current NXT trainer Robbie Brookside. Corey Graves commented on Brookside bringing the British style of wrestling to the table: "Robbie brings a whole different aspect. That British style that he excels in is different, but just his understanding of wrestling and the way he's able to break things down, theory-wise, is unbelievable. He can show you how to do a basic headlock, or he can show you some insane reversal to the headlock that you never even thought existed. He can literally do anything in-between the ropes."

WWE announced more categories for the 2014 Slammy Awards today. Here is the current line-up: Superstar of the Year, Diva of the Year, Match of the Year, "This is Awesome" Moment of the Year, LOL Moment of the Year, Extreme Moment of the Year, "Tell Me You Didn't Just Say That" Insult of the Year (WWE.com Slammy Awards, results to be revealed during Raw Pre-Show), Hashtag of the Year (WWE.com Slammy Awards, results to be revealed during Raw Pre-Show), RAW Guest Star of the Year (WWE.com Slammy Awards, results to be revealed during Raw Pre-Show), Tag Team of The Year (WWE.com Slammy Awards, results to be revealed during RAW Pre-Show), Rivalry of the Year (WWE.com Slammy Awards, results to be revealed during RAW Pre-Show), Tweet It!

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar will included in UFC's next EA Sports video game as a legend.

WWE was filming scenes for a 2015 Royal Rumble commercial at Tuesday's SmackDown tapings in Oklahoma City. According to PWInsider, the commercial was described as taking place in a psychiatrist's office with various Superstars "on the couch."

WWE's website has recently added Randy Orton to the final RAW of the year on December 29th in Washington, DC. Orton has been rumored to make his return at the TLC pay-per-view on December 14th.

On the Family:

>“There is no breakup. That’s another thing I’d like to get out there. There’s friction between [Harper & Rowan] and that’s kinda part of the issue, is relinquishing some of that. When the Wyatt Family is needed, the Wyatt Family will always be, and that’s the way I designed it, and that’s the way it will go on for ten, fifteen, who knows how long. The Wyatt Family is far from over, I can assure you of that.”

On Rowan:

>“I’m very proud of [Rowan], sometimes. He’s done some things since we split that I haven’t necessarily agreed with. I’m not so sure he’s a genius with a big IQ, I’m actually a hundred percent sure of that. [Laughs] But Harper is the Intercontinental Champion and that’s exactly where he belongs and why he needed to go out on his own. Because Harper is one of the greatest, most malicious entities in the entire WWE. He should be free to go after things like that.”

NXT superstar of the year slammy + 2 hour live show on Thursday pretty much guarantees an nxt match on raw

[Lock Jaw]

Random musing/fantasy booking:

Dean Ambrose really should have been in Dolph Ziggler's place at Survivor Series.... Could have made a new star right there.... Also, would have been a great way to cap off and end his feud with The Authority/Rollins. Obviously the Hell in a Cell would have had to have ended in some other screwy way not involving Wyatt.

Instead he is languishing in a feud with Wyatt in which I hope he finally finally gets a big win because it feels like all he has done lately is get relentlessly beat down and then come back... but never gets the decisive victory.

[Damian Rey]

Since the Shield split, I've believed Ambrose is the star of the 3, though Rollins is a close second. He has the it factor, but Vince isn't out of touch and knows the fans don't want Ambrose to get pushed.
