Dave, you are one of the most vague people here. Fuck yourself.

Don't you credit that to my inability to understand American culture and the fact that most of the information is lost in translation? :)

Can't wait until he deletes that post and I look schizo.

I am planning to start a new gimmick where I delete each and every post after a minute*. Only a few posters will be able to read them and feel lucky in the process.

[Anybody Thrilla]

When was the last time Nougat...er..Otunga wrestled a match? Last years Royal Rumble.
He's like a front office guy now.

I don't know about Gabriel.

Gabriel was on Main Event like two weeks ago, and Otunga was used fairly recently as the Big Show's lawyer when The Authority was fucking with him.

There is some stuff, but not that. I can pull out some examples, but this isn't the place for it.

If you really do that gimmick, I hope you get dysentery.

On dysentery? No, not particularly.

I remember Otunga being Big Shows lawyer but he wasn't wrestling..the last match he wrestled in I remember was last years Rumble but apparently he wrestled in March, but its still been a year almost. Even begore that, he wasnt wrestling a lot..he was used at Del Rio's lawyer to get the Brogue Kick banned..He's in a lot of those Be A Star ads so I figured he was doing front office type work now and not wrestling.

[Anybody Thrilla]

So apparently KENTA and Prince Devitt received tryouts at the performance center, at the behest of William Regal. I knew they'd been talking with Devitt for a while, but this is the first I've heard about KENTA coming over.

I think they'd be great as a tag team, with Devitt as the mouthpiece.

KENTA invented both the Go To Sleep, and the Busaiku Knee (Bryan's running knee finish). Wonder if they'd let him use either of them if he came over.

[Savio]

I like Otunga (just not as a wrestler)

[Innovator]

If they do that rumored cruiserweight show on the network, KENTA would be a huge get. It'd be funny to hear the announcers rip him for stealing from Bryan and Punk.

this doesn't surprise me, well DeVitt anyway. Almost expect him to get signed this year, fits that "recent mould" when in terms of the "name" indy guys they've been signing. Actually has a bit of a personality as well.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, WWE has signed a new five year deal with SkyTV. The deal would give Sky the rights to RAW, SmackDown and Main Event through 2019 in Great Britain and Ireland. The deal will also include them carrying the 12 PPV events on Sky Sports Box Office as PPV events. While the financial deals were not revealed, the deal is believed to be at least three times what WWE’s last deal with Sky was for.

Ah well the Network might not be the same here if all the PPVs are moving to box office.

From the dirtsheets:

Across the board, among the wrestlers, there is a lot of curiosity regarding WrestleMania paychecks. The one thing is, with all the new money coming in, all the wrestlers should make far more because the revenue will be way higher presumably come October when the new TV deals are in place. However, wrestlers have never been paid a cut of the TV deals in the past, and the bulk of their income is either their downside guarantee if they are hurt or not used well, or a formula based on the house show revenue, the PPV revenue, how their merchandise does and a fee from the video game. The network won’t hurt house show revenue significantly or at all. It may hurt PPV revenue a lot, and may hurt revenue on DVDs somewhat.

So that’s a situation to look at. But if PPV and DVD business goes down with the network, but the company gets as much or more revenue based on network subscribers, what cut of the network will the wrestlers be getting is a real issue. In a sense, with more revenue coming in presumably, wrestlers should be paid better. Yet at the same time, with so much of that income more guaranteed rather than generated based on individuals, when it comes to the key guys and big moneymakers, how will their value be measured?

AJ Styles was recently threatened with a restraining order from TNA corporate offices for appearing on radio stations and speaking events talking about the situation in TNA. The claim that unless AJ could prove his claims with a burden of proof then anything negative he said could be viewed as slander and they would take the necessary legal action against him. A scheduled speaking event in the UK has been postponed until July.

As things stood over the weekend, Hogan’s role in WrestleMania was to be the host of the show. It would be pushed the same way Rock’s return was before they shot the angle where he ended up as the referee. Right now Hogan isn’t scheduled to do anything physical and the story we’ve heard is he won’t be allowed to do so based on his physical.

Batista’s deal is a two-year contract. He’s working a full schedule now, but not for the entire time. He has commitments to promote movie projects that will require him being away at times.

As for Christian, while he is listed in the match, and at press time is scheduled in the match, it is under consideration to injure him and have someone take his place.

[Tazz Dan]

lol Christian :'(

KENTA invented both the Go To Sleep, and the Busaiku Knee (Bryan's running knee finish). Wonder if they'd let him use either of them if he came over.

If you're referencing his wealth via his WWE theme lyrics (of all things), I think
"Me on the other hand,/I can blow 100 stacks/and bounce back rubber-band/30 karats here/100 on the other hand" would be a couple of more apt lines from it to quote...

[#1-norm-fan]

I feel like WWE could have done a better job exploiting Darren Young's gayness.

The first Raw after the TMZ interview, they instantly turned them face and had them get a win while the crowd was suddenly pretty hot for them. And after that they pretty much fell back into obscurity. I'm not saying they should have pushed Darren Young to the moon or anything but at that moment, he became a name that had mainstream relevance. I feel like they could have rode that wave to actually getting both guys quite over.

I dunno. I've never really been too impressed with Darren Young. I feel like he could be more than what he is, but not too much more. I hate to be that cynical. Titus O'Neil, however, has gone from being a guy I thought of as awkward and clunky to being pretty damn awesome.

Dirtsheets (All from F4W):

WWE officials were initially disappointed with the reaction that Batista got for his return but when the ratings came in and they were high, officials decided that it wasn't Batista's fault. They blamed it on the fans in Dayton, Ohio. The feeling now is that Dayton won't be getting a pay-per-view anytime soon.


The split between Cody Rhodes and Goldust may come at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view where a tag team title match is expected. There are plans for Cody vs. Goldust at WrestleMania XXX this year. Goldust was originally signed as a talent through WrestleMania XXX but his deal has been extended through SummerSlam. Once that deal expires, it's expected he will become an agent backstage.

As noted, last week's RAW was re-written because of the CM Punk situation. In order to keep fans from hijacking the show for Daniel Bryan like they did at the Royal Rumble the night before, WWE had Bryan cut an in-ring promo which he originally wasn't scheduled to do.

Regarding the reaction at the Royal Rumble, Randy Orton reportedly was irate backstage after the crowd hijacked his match with John Cena.

With the drama that has unfolded within WWE in the past week, WWE creative is now looking at several different options for WrestleMania XXX. The first is a Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H match with possibly the stipulation that Bryan gets a WWE World Heavyweight Title shot at Extreme Rules in Seattle. If Bryan ends up working Triple H at WrestleMania, they may put Sheamus in a match with Kane. John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt and Batista vs. Randy Orton would still happen.

Another option is John Cena vs. Triple H, Sheamus vs. Bray Wyatt and Orton vs. Batista vs. Bryan in a three-way for the belt. The other option they are looking at is Sheamus vs. Triple H, Cena vs. Wyatt and Bryan vs. Orton vs. Batista in a three-way.

Dirtsheets:

Word within WWE is that nobody has heard back from CM Punk after they've reached out to him via phone calls and text messages. The belief is that Punk is keeping to himself, except for people in his inner circle, and that circle isn't going to talk about the situation.

We noted on Sunday that there were major WrestleMania XXX creative meetings held this past week and the only thing now considered a lock is Bray Wyatt vs. John Cena. There has been a lot of back and forth discussion over Brock Lesnar's WrestleMania XXX role. The original plan was for Lesnar to face The Undertaker, as noted. That may or may not be the plan still but there could be something to Batista vs. Lesnar being teased on RAW last week.

Kurt Angle was scheduled to undergo knee surgery in late January but the surgery was pushed back so Angle wouldn’t miss the TNA Uk tour because Jeff Hardy couldn’t go and Sting had left the company.

During the tapings in Glasgow, Scotland this past week, an angle was shot where Angle was beat down with steel chairs, which appeared to be where he was written out of the storylines. The next day in Manchester, Angle was told by TNA creative writers that he was scheduled to run-in during a segment. Angle flipped out because he had already been written out of the storylines and because he was working despite doctor’s orders not to. John Gaburick was said to have been on the wrong end of Angle’s rant and in the end, Angle did not work that taping in Manchester.

Angle did his Hall of Fame induction the next day in London and got into it with Ethan Carter III, leading to a Lockdown match between the two, as we have noted before. It appears TNA is expecting Angle to gut through the Lockdown pay-per-view without having surgery.

It was announced at WWE's live event in Kansas City, MO that John Cena was injured and wouldn't be there. Cena was slated to face WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton in the main event. WrestlingINC.com reader @GrimmsonMask noted that Orton mentioned an eye injury. Daniel Bryan then came to the ring and challenged Orton to a steel cage match for later in the show.

Lesnar/Batista/Bryan for the title would be awesome but I don't see where Lesnar can win now unless he beats up Christian and takes his spot.

Bryan wins the Chamber, Batista already won the Rumble, Lesnar simply bullies his way into the match by wreaking havoc on the entire roster. Seems easy.

[VSG]

Well ya- Lesnar has to bully his way in some how.

Edit: Although Bryan going into WM as the underdog champion would be nice, I want to see him win the title at WM instead. Either way works, as long as it does :D

Does that really matter?

[VSG]

Not sure which part you were referring to but winning the big one clean in the main event at WM is a bigger moment than defending it successfully in my opinion anyway.

[Savio]

I think some people want him to win it in Seattle at Backlash.

They'll rebrand him as "Mean" Milton Johnson, have him crushed by Rusev in his debut, then he'll do a 3 month program with CJ Parker (with Parker going over) based on the idea that MMJ has too big of a carbon footprint (with CJ being the heel), job to Cesaro as he does a 450 revolution swing, then put over Sami Zayn in 4.2 seconds. All of this while Vince McMachon is watching every moment, chanting "Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You." He'll never see the main roster.

Unfortunately we do not have WWE on May 4th. We are aware of the rumors that have been circulating. We love having the WWE and WWE Fans in our building and can't wait to have them back!

[Poit]

According to Wikipedia, Extreme Rules doesn't have a location yet.

[Droford]

Maybe they'll hold it in Aberdeen Washington, in the YMCA gym or something

[Droford]

Tatanka at a YMCA yes. GI Bro and Regal would never step foot there.
If you are going to try to make a crappy joke make the team Tatanka, Virginia Heavyweight Champion Tully Blanchard and Greg Valentine

You will not besmirch our champion sir. He is a fighting champion and will defend his title and the honor of the people of the great Commonwealth of Virginia at any place, and at any time.

Alberto Del Rio has reportedly been letting it be know that once his contract with WWE is up, he will be leaving the company.

According to PWInsider, Del Rio hasn't been happy with the direction of his character. He was once a main event player on the SmackDown brand as a World Champion, and now he is being fed to Batista.

While the match between the two hasn't been officially announced, Batista vs. Del Rio will likely be added to the upcoming Elimination Chamber pay-per-view event.

Del Rio is 36-years-old and has several years of mileage on him. It’s believed that he’s been very good with his money and shouldn't be in any financial trouble once he departs from the organization.

This is a touch before my wrestling fan tenure.. I've never gone back to watch older stuff (pre 92 or so)..

Who is the guy To Fuji's left? and the skinny guy in the ICOPRO tee?

[Bad News Gertner]

Skinny guy looks like Bill Alfonso, who was the Giant Gonzalez's handler at the time of this pic, and I believe the guy to Fuji's left is Headshrinker Samu.

[Brigstocke]

Looks like Godfather invented the Photobomb.

[CSL]

you should, best era ever. Probably still watch more stuff from 1987-1991 than I do of the current product or from any other time.

[Brigstocke]

Maybe I will. I liked the characters.

Don't really know how I'd get stuff pre-raw? how the hell did they do it? was it all ppv's?

[CSL]

Prime Time, Superstars, Wrestling Challenge, Saturday Night's Main Event were pretty much the TV shows and the "big 4" PPV's. Youtube is your best bet, countless matches, segments etc on there

[#1-norm-fan]

Basically it was weekend morning stuff and Prime Time on Monday Night which mostly just consisted of Bobby Heenan in a studio being awesome while being interrupted by random pre-taped squash matches.

Saturday Night's Main Event was basically that generations Monday Night Raw in that it was where the biggest stuff happened but it only aired one night every couple months. It was also pretty much the only way you could see Hulk Hogan wrestle without paying money. Good times.

[Bad News Gertner]

when I first saw/posted this, I thought it was Harvey Wippleman (who was Gonzalez's handler) but yeah, think it's Bill Alfonso now you've said it

Ah piss, I was picturing Fonzie reffing the Taker vs Gonzalez match at Wrestlemania. Yeah, Wippleman was Giant's handler.

The style being taught in developmental right now is for the babyfaces to get one comeback spot, build it around trademark spots and finishes should be a specific hold that they always use to win.

The new season of Total Divas will debut on 3/16 at 9 p.m. Eastern. The season will feature ten episodes. As noted before, Summer Rae, using her stage name and not real name Danielle Moinet, (the former team captain of the Chicago Bliss in the Lingerie Football League), replaces Jo Jo Offerman in the cast. Offerman is still under contract in developmental but there are no plans to use her on the main shows any longer since she’s not on Total Divas. Among the highlights of this ten episode season will be two weddings, the Jonathan Fatu and Trinity McCray (Jimmy Uso and Naomi) and the Bryan Danielson and Brie Bella (they use his real name, not hers) which will be the final episode of the season in May. Other storylines include Eva Marie also getting married to her non-wrestler boyfriend and keeping it a secret from her family, Nikki Bella contemplating breaking up with John Cena (considering they are still together, I guess that didn’t happen) as well as the introduction of Jonathan Fatu’s father, the famed Rikishi, as the mad parent who is against the marriage wanting his son to marry someone of Samoan ancestry. Yes, folks, that is just a storyline they created. They will also tell stories of Eva Marie winning over the WWE fans and becoming a big favorite (I missed that), Brie Bella, Natalya and Trinity all chasing the Divas title, but Natalya ends up out of the title picture due to a contrived (though pushed on the show as real) personality clash with Summer Rae. Fandango also ends up with more TV time on the show. The plan is for the season to end with the climax of Brie getting married and one of the women capturing the Divas title at WrestleMania.

I wonder if AJ gets to walk out cause she doesn't want to drop the title she's had for like 250 days to someone just so it can be a reality show storyline..hmm

I don't think you "get to" walk out. Think it's something you just decide to do.

Eric Young is awesome. Nobody ever talks about him, though.

[Bad News Gertner]

They keep giving him stupid shit. He's like Santino, although Eric can be so much more.

[Bad News Gertner]

I don't mind Total Divas as a concept, but the fact that it's affecting storylines is fucking retarded. I know there was talk of Naomi and Cameron becoming heels, but they didn't because of the show.

On a side note, Cameron dancing gives me an erection. She might be the hottest diva in the WWE.

They're not ALL bitches to each other on the show. The only real bitch was Eva Marie, but the rest of them were pretty cordial. I'm sad that I know that.

Also, props to Austin Aries as well. I'm watching TNA on delay right now so I can skip commercials. Austin Aries is really good at everything.

Nobody remembers Eric Young being badass, shaved head, calculated heel leader at the beginning of the World Elite stable. So much promise... and as typical of TNA, they pissed that away. And then promptly made him a comedy act again. :nono:

[Lock Jaw]

I've seen serious Eric Young, and frankly, I prefer goofy Eric Young.

[Poit]

He's basically a scientist.

[Innovator]

Remember when Christopher Daniels and AJ had this amazing PPV main event following Desmond Wolfe against Kurt Angle, then a couple weeks later he lost to Val Venis and Wolfe disappeared?

He disappeared for good reason though.

Eric Young is awesome. Nobody ever talks about him, though.
He is one of the two participants in probably my favourite match of all time. I believe I've said it on here before, but the dude could've been the next Shawn Michaels, no problem. Played one of the best cocky heels I've ever seen. So naturally TNA turned him into a goofball.

Dirtsheets:

The Network launched for select WWE employees this week for testing purposes. One person who has access told us, "It's literally the best thing ever. It's totally like Netflix, very easy to use. If porn wasn't free on the 'Net this would be the greatest thing on the 'Net ever."
:lol:

They are reconsidering certain things on the Mania card, and we're told the company is going to gauge crowd reactions and business over the next few weeks before making any major final decisions.

There is talk of Shield doing a triple threat against each other at Mania, but that's only if they don't add Bryan to the main event. They don't want two triple threat matches on the same show. So realistically, whether or not Bryan gets put into that match could determine when and where Shield breaks up.
Newest rumor regarding the potential Triple H match is if Bryan gets pulled in favor of the title match, then Reigns vs Triple H is very likely to occur.

PWInsider.com has confirmed that The Undertaker is set to return to WWE TV at the 2/24 Raw taping in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The return was locked in within the last 48 hours.

That is the day after The Elimination Chamber and will be the Raw that leads directly into the launch of the WWE Network's live programming. The appearance will kick off Undertaker's storyline for Wrestlemania 30

On this week’s Smackdown Randy Orton let his temper get the best of him at the tapings. Orton took offense to a fan holding a RK-No sign and was visibly upset by it. As he was walking to the ring they cut to an Elimination Chamber graphic. When they went back to Orton he was wearing tights with silver on them. That was actually footage from Raw. You can see for yourself below. Orton may be on thin ice with the company right now but with WrestleMania around the corner they will probably tolerate Orton’s attitude since they can’t afford to lose anyone at this time of the year

[GD]

With the release of the WWE Network soon, I was wondering if they will censor the spot where Triple H set up Stephanie for the pedigree and one of her breasts came out. Would be cool if they left it the way it was.

The proposed Toby Keith-Jeff Jarrett promotion, which is a long way from happening, stemmed almost exactly as you’d think. TNA was for sale and Jarrett through his connections with the Nashville music industry and Keith in particular, tried to put together a bid to buy the company. The deal was very close at one point. Bob Carter came to Keith to finalize the deal and the two sides were close on a price, although they were not quite there. The belief is they were going to hash it out, but Carter only had one request in selling, which was that Dixie Carter would remain with her title, have some power in the company and remain a television character. Keith said he wasn’t going to buy the company with any creative limitations, so the deal actually fell apart because Bob Carter in the end was going to protect his daughter. Someone in TNA who was aware of how it went down noted to us that, “That’s why we all are still here,” noting if it was about business, TNA would have never survived after the last golden carrots (prime time TV and Hulk Hogan) failed to increase popularity or take the company from losing money. At that point, the feeling was from Keith and Jarrett that they didn’t need to buy the company, as they could start their own company from scratch. The deal falling through would have been shortly before Jarrett quit TNA in December. The other thing noted is when this story got out inside of TNA, those who had tried to believe the Janice Carter memo and thought the idea was that the Carters wouldn’t sell, and the talks were for just a minority investor, realized they’d been had.

Mark Crozer, who wrote and performs the Wyatt Family's theme song, announced on Facebook that he will be performing The Wyatt's theme song at this year's WrestleMania event. The post was then later pulled from Facebook.

Crozer explained, "Well as I'm no longer able to contain my excitement I may as well let you know... I'm playing Wrestlemania! I'll let you know more details when I get them. "

Crozer has toured as a member of the Jesus and Mary Chain and currently fronts Mark Crozer and The Rels.

WWE's future with NBC Universal rumored to be decided before the end of this week. Right now it appears to be leaning towards the WWE looking elsewhere for their shows.

WWE's been hinting they want NASCAR-like money for their new contracts.

This Valentine’s Day NBCUniversal will either be giving WWE a big kiss or they’ll be breaking up.

The two parties are grappling over continuation of the sport-meets-reality TV programming on NBCUniversal’s USA Network and SyFy Channel.

An exclusive negotiating period ended last week with no deal in sight. We hear the pressure is on for a deal to get done in the next few days.

An industry source told On the Money, “NBCU has until Friday, Feb. 14, to respond to WWE’s final offer.”

It’s not clear where the price tag stands, but reports have suggested the last deal was priced at $140 million, and the WWE had been looking for a leap up that gives it a similar premium accorded to sports rights.

WWE — which announced the launch of its own over-the-top network for wrestling fans at CES — is one of the few things on TV ( besides sports) that fans want to watch live.

The question is, how badly does NBCU want to keep it? And where will it land if the two parties split up?

while the company appreciates its relationship with NBCU and does not want to move if it doesn't have to (as that creates confusion in the marketplace), they will if NBC doesn't make the offer that the company is looking for. With the ability to show Raw and Smackdown replays on the WWE Network, the feeling internally is that they will not have a problem with fans finding the product if they change networks. WWE has felt for years that their programming has been undervalued and Vince McMahon is determined to get what he feels is market value on this contract.

The company has done a fantastic job setting up this situation by making sure all of their TV deals expire at the same time so that they can sell them as a package.

The risk is that if they turn down NBCU's "best offer" and solicit elsewhere, if no one steps up, then NBCU will have all the power in negotiations going forward.


The Post previously reported that NBCU was thinking about creating a physical Hall of Fame for WWE at Universal Studios to sweeten the deal. There's no word yet as to whether that's officially on the table. It also remains to be seen who the other network suitors for WWE programming will be if NBCU doesn't strike a new deal before Friday.

If they put a hall of fame at Universal Studios its only a step closer to the WWE Universe theme park attraction..WWE themed rides and stuff.

If they leave Universal I wonder if they'll dump the term WWE Universe.
