Maybe my song was wrong. That could be the worst Rumble ever.

[Seth82]

David Von Erich truly was the best of the brothers in the ring imo.

David was also great as a heel in Florida. I would've liked to have seen how he would have fared as a heel and maybe become the 4th Freebird? Him turning on his brothers in Dallas would've been huge


It's crazy how insanely over those boys were in Texas at the time. I don't think anyone else has seen the kind of popularity they had. Maybe Hogan in the 80s and JYD in Mid South.

WCCW truly was just amazing at its height from 1982-1985. their tv product was truly awesome and innovative for its time. Compare what Vince's tv product looked like in '82-'83 and then look at WCCW's TV.

WCCW was running stadium shows at Texas Stadium/Cotton Bowl with big supercards long before Wrestlemania did it.

WCCW was also using musical entrances for its wrestlers as far back as late 1981.

Dirtsheets:

To make its show more attractive, WWE is considering a live version of its two-hour “SmackDown,” which currently is taped on Tuesday before its Friday airing. To do that, costs to produce the series would increase, due to scheduling, and the show would likely need to move to a new night. But WWE would be willing to make the switch in return for a better fee for the series.

A fan who attended CrayJay's New Orleans Comic Con Q&A this weekend noted that she was asked about her "pipebomb" promo from last year and said there was supposed to be a follow-up to it.

AJ said that while her character had been acting like a "douche" she still hoped that the other Divas would realize that she was trying to make things happen for their division and get them more TV time.

AJ revealed that some of the Divas took the promo personal. She said it was unfortunate that the follow-up to her "pipebomb" got dropped due to personal feelings that other Divas had.

I don't think The Shield would be as over as they are without their attire. Def adds a bunch to them anyway. Wonder how they'll do when eventually repackaged a bit. Roman Reigns won't look as beastly as he does just in trunks

Technically, it was a pre-show match. By that logic, Lance Storm and Chief Morley defeated Kane and RVD at Wrestlemania 19.

[Anybody Thrilla]

They lost the fucking tag titles. It's not like it didn't happen. It was promoted as a Wrestlemania match. It happened AT Wrestlemania.

Nope. If you watch the Royal Rumble, there is no New Age Outlaws vs Rhodes Brothers match.

Remember when Sunday Night Heat used to be live before PPVs? Did you count those matches as part of the PPV? It's the same thing.

they'd ignore it for the unlikely event there's ever anything based around Miz being undefeated at Mania but history is conveniently ignored for the sake of the present all the time i.e Andre having "never been beaten or slammed", Taker/HHH at WM 17, Jericho unifying the titles etc, doesn't mean those things didn't happen

This isn't just me and others desperately trying to find a way to keep Miz undefeated at WrestleMania. It's just a fact. It was a DARK MATCH. In other words it was not part of the official show. Like Yoshi Tatsu's battle royal win that Gertner mentioned. Or the Sunday Night Heat matches before PPVs that I mentioned earlier. And again, at least those ones were televised.

It works sometimes. But it usually happens naturally. Like with Batista. Way better than "Dave Batista" but the change happened subtly when people slowly started referring to him by just his last name like a high school gym teacher would do.

Goldberg was another one that ended up being much better. It seems to be fitting for monster characters. I guess it adds to their aura or something. (Heidenreich, Snitsky, Vader...)

[#1-norm-fan]

Meanwhile the less intimidating characters tend to go by just their FIRST name. (All the divas, Santino, Eugene, Jameson, every member of The Spirit Squad...)

I saw most of his career retrospective thing (can't remember what the series is called.) Seems like an awesome guy but I just couldn't get into him talking about shit. I guess I just prefer listening to guys who talk shit and are more "dramatic" in their shoots.

That's why I like the Timeline series. Less of a shoot, kinda makes enough the less dramatic guys like Vader more interesting.

Piper is doing WWE 1984 and Bret's doing 1992. Cornette's doing WCW 89. Justin Credible is doing ECW 2001. Can't wait for all of these.

Here's a link to the Vader shoot

lol @ "I don't know why you guys want him to be so badly..."

This isn't just me and others desperately trying to find a way to keep Miz undefeated at WrestleMania. It's just a fact. It was a DARK MATCH. In other words it was not part of the official show. Like Yoshi Tatsu's battle royal win that Gertner mentioned. Or the Sunday Night Heat matches before PPVs that I mentioned earlier. And again, at least those ones were televised. Do you count the dark matches on Raw as the ACTUAL main events of the show?

P.S. STD means business when it comes to this subject. Choose your answer to that question wisely.

Dark matches on Raw are never mentioned and basically didn't happen. The match I'm talking about was not only mentioned, but a championship changed hands and it was recognized as such.

What about at some other Wrestlemania where Kane won a battle royal in order to face Chavo for the ECW title? That happened too.

As far as Sunday Night Heat, those matches were billed as Sunday Night Heat matches, right down to the apron and everything. Not the same.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Is it important? No. Is it annoying? Absolutely.

[Bad News Gertner]

He didn't lose at Wrestlemania. You made a miztake.

[Ermaximus]

I'm curious about this but, would anyone else watch a Diva's Elimination Chamber match between AJ, Tamina, Alicia Fox, Natalya, Brie Bella, and a returning Kharma?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Yes but it wouldn't be a focal selling point for me. They would have to cut down the time of entries to like a minute or two.

WWE.com has now changed Big E Langston's name to merely "Big E".

I don't like these name changes.... people that have first and last names just sound better. (Even if their "first name" is "Big E")

Is this something that's happening on TV or is it just .com doing a bit of streamlining their presentation?

"Cesaro" just sounds weird, Big E not so much but it just seems a little needless.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Advertised. It was ADVERTISED. On ALL of the TV shows.

I was thinking about how they "pipe in" cheers on the pre-recorded shows and came to the conclusion that someone should have piped in cheers in/as their theme music. The perfect guy for this would be Bo Dallas. I'm imagining him coming out on Raw to this monster pop like when Austin cost Rock the title or HHH in MSG whilst the crowd sit on their hands.

[Lock Jaw]

Goldberg used to have piped in chants as part of his theme in WCW, didn't he?

Regarding Sting not signing a deal with WWE yet, it's more because WWE is dragging their feet. We noted before that WWE officials are in no hurry to get Sting signed for a WrestleMania XXX match but word is that Sting himself was hoping for a match against The Undertaker at this year's event.

Since Sting lives in the Dallas area, he is willing to meet up with The Undertaker and work out the match in private at Undertaker's gym, over and over, to get it right, which is what Undertaker's opponents have done for the past several years. That's one of the reasons the matches have gone over so well. There was some concern that Brock Lesnar, who is in it because he makes big money for a limited amount of work and only has a certain number of dates on his contract, may not be willing to spend several extra days working with Taker to get the entire match worked out.

Word in WWE is that Mr. T has agreed to be inducted into the Hall of Fame this year. No word yet if WWE still plans on inducting the participants and the match itself of the WrestleMania I main event. Another source has confirmed to The Wrestling Observer that Cyndi Lauper's name has been discussed as well.

There is a lot of talk within WWE that Christian isn't expected to stick around once his current contract expires. At age 40, there's a feeling that WWE creative isn't going to do anything significant with Christian and he's just "playing out the string."

While it’s not a lock, there has been talk seriously of both Kevin Steen and Michael Elgin being invited to a talent evaluation camp. Steen has known about this for some time and the feeling is that if he shows up out of shape, they’ll look down on him a lot. A few years ago, when Takeshi Morishima worked a dark match, and with his flying around at 330 pounds, even though nobody knew him, his match got over pretty big. WWE, however, including Vince McMahon, felt it almost as a sign of disrespect that a guy would come to get a WWE tryout in the shape he was in. Those who have been at camps and noted that they start off testing conditioning making you do stuff designed to blow you up to see who can gut it out the longest, with the idea they can tell from that who wants it the most, feel Steen will need a miracle to get through that aspect of the process. I’ve also had guys question that process, noting that a lot of guys on the main roster, if they were put through that, could never pass it either and some have been solid money drawing stars. WCW did that to Dave Bautista before he ever signed with WWE, and he became one of the biggest stars of the last decade.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm sick of hearing that The Miz is undefeated at Wrestlemania. He and Morrison lost the tag titles to The Colons at Wrestlemania 25.

*sigh* That match didn't happen on the main card. It was advertised for it, and the match happened before WrestleMania XXV, but it didn't air as part of the PPV. Sure, the WWE could count it as a WrestleMania loss if they wish, but they have more grounds to ignore it than they did the Money in the Bank loss Edge suffered but ignored (which also bothered me a little bit).

The Unified WWE Tag Team Championship match wasn't even part of an official Kickoff themed show. #1-wwf-fan drew a good parallel between it and the Sunday Night Heat that would air from the same location as the PPV.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'd rather see an Elimination Chamber match between AJ Lee, Paige, Emma, Natalya, Naomi and Kharma. That would be the jizz-tits.

Rey Mysterio *might* be injured.

Rey should probably retire. He gets hurt a lot.


Reader Curtis Miller sent word that Rey Mysterio apparently injured his knee in the Fatal 4 Way match with he, Jack Swagger, Kofi Kingston and Mark Henry that will air on Friday's SmackDown.

During the match at Tuesday's tapings in Ontario, California, Rey landed bad and quickly went out to the floor and laid down beside the steel steps. Rey pulled one of his pant legs up and removed the large knee brace that he wears, clearly in pain.

Great news about Mr T. If anybody deserves an induction to the Celebrity Wing of the Hall of Fame it'd be him.

As for Steen, how can WWE invited the guy to a camp in full knowledge of who and what he is - that is to say a fat fucker - then see it as an affront when he turns up as a fat fucker? It's be like if they'd asked Booker T to come to a training camp then being pissed when he turned up in black skin.

[CSL]

I doubt Vince has a clue who he is. Ditto Morishima. The first time he saw him was at TV.

Not sure why they'd bother with the two of them anyway, Elgin does some impressive stuff but he's like 4'10. Steen's look is entirely non-existent. Plenty of guys equal to or better that actually look the part to. Be surprised if DeVitt, Adam Cole, Mike Bennett etc didn't get "a shot" this year

[Droford]

Anytime anyone talks about fat guys

http://www.geekyuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/huskywyatt.jpg

Husky Harris was just fat. I never thought he had a chance at making it watching him on NXT. I dont know officially how much weight he lost, but hes billed at 280 and he doesn't look as bad. He also managed to go over 20 minutes with Daniel Bryan at RR without looking overly blown up.

[CSL]

Bray Wyatt is "fat jacked" (official term folks). Big difference.

[Droford]

He had to be well over 300 when he was husky Harris though

[Emperor Smeat]

Being fat or not isn't the real issue but how you treat that call from the WWE. If you come in as a mess, they see that as an insult and not worthy of their investment.

Steen doesn't need to be amazing with those conditioning tests, he just has to reach whatever expectation the WWE feels he needs to reach.

[Bad News Gertner]

Still amazed that Cyndi Lauper hasn't been inducted. There's no Wrestlemania without her.

The Unified WWE Tag Team Championship match wasn't even part of an official Kickoff themed show. #1-wwf-fan drew a good parallel between it and the Sunday Night Heat that would air from the same location as the PPV.

Just two observations about the ongoing "is Miz undefeated/Colons tag match" debate and if or not it counts as being at 'Mania...

1) In terms of actual presence: Lance Storm said he wanted to have a Wrestlemania moment, and mentioned that he "never got one" because his matches were bumped. Twice. If I remember correctly, one became pre-show fodder, and the other ended up as a dark match. Essentially, he was never technically in a Wrestlemania match in spite of being booked for it and wrestling at the event.

2) In terms of WWE logic: Jericho never beat HHH that one time ON RAW. Even though it took up a substantial amount of TV time, the match never happened. If that match never happened, and it was pretty much a televised main event on their flagship televison program, then what does that say about a match they didn't even bother airing on "free" TV before their PPV?

[XL]

Well the Jericho/HHH thing was for storyline purposes so it hardly counts as compelling evidence.

[Seth82]

Still amazed that Cyndi Lauper hasn't been inducted. There's no Wrestlemania without her.

I know she came back to WWE recently but I heard she didn't look back fondly on her days in the WWF.

She basically regrets ever doing it.

Eddie Graham got wind of this from wrestlers who heard the broadcast. A few days later he called the station to talk to Trout. As far as i know there was never a meeting between the two.

Dirtsheets:

Shane McMahon's name has come up in a story about a fraudulent deal to purchase Maxim magazine. The New York Post reports that convicted stock swindler Calvin Darden Jr. had put together an offer to buy the magazine but was arrested on Wednesday for lying to investors in raising money for the purchase. Darden Jr. made investors believe his wealthy father was going to buy the magazine and was trying to defraud McMahon out of $20 million.

While there's still no word if international star Prince Devitt has accepted WWE's offer, word is that the company offered him a deal to where he will spend just a short amount of time in NXT before going to the main roster. Some close to Devitt say that he will more than likely end up signing with WWE

Today will be looked back upon as one of the most historic dates in the history of professional wrestling as at the end of business today, Comcast's exclusivity to negotiate a new TV deal with WWE will end - setting off a chain of events that will tell the tale of the future of professional wrestling.

Once WWE receives Comcast's new offer for keeping their broadcast partnership and exclusivity going forward, WWE can choose to sign the new deal or open the negotiations up for outside entities to bid on the WWE programming.

As we've noted before, WWE smartly timed this so that all of their cable series - Raw, Smackdown, Total Divas, Main Event - as well as a potentially resurrected Saturday Morning Slam - are part of the negotiations, allowing WWE to move everything as one monster package, similar to what major sports leagues such as the NBA and NASCAR do with their programming partners.

Several months back, Variety noted that WWE had reached out or had meetings with A&E, Disney, Viacom, 21st Century Fox and Discovery about potential broadcast partnerships.

Comcast will have the chance to match any outside offers, according to reports in the NYC media, so even if another entity comes in with a big offer, they will have a chance to keep WWE under their umbrella.

WWE intends to announce their new deal in April or May. Should programming need to move from Comcast to another partner, that would come in early October.
NBC Universal owns the current WWE license and Comcast itself owns NBC Universal but their cable division isn't the one in the negotiations. According to the Observer, there is very little real interest from other networks to buy the WWE tv deal because of the asking price being too huge.

Remember last week when we mentioned that WWE officials are considering a third person on the level of the Ultimate Warrior and Jake Roberts? It turns out that the person in question is Scott Hall. It sounds as if this is likely to happen. Adding Hall, and likely Paul Bearer, will round out the individual inductions for the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame class. As always, the WrestleMania I main event tag team match is still being considered, but is said to be held up until Mr. T accepts the induction.

[Droford]

WWE is going to end up on Spike TV again isn't it? Of all the networks listed Viacom is the only one I could honestly see paying the money for it. Discovery and Disney are out, A&E would rather pay for cheap reality shows. The only Wild Card is Fox, I suppose they could put it on FX/FXX..

With a Viacom deal, Total Divas would fit in on VH1. Sat Morning slam on Nikelodeon..I suppose Raw and SD would have to air on spike though..

The WWE is doing a horrendous job at managing their current roster. I honestly believe that hiring more talents and maintaining two distinct brands would definitely benefit their product. They can have writers on RAW and an old-school booking team on the superior Smackdown show. I am also not sold on having one heavyweight champion as there are way too many former champions on the roster who have absolutely nothing going on for them.

[#1-norm-fan]

Having two titles isn't a good solution for lazy writing where no one is involved in anything. All having two titles does is make the main event scene less of a big deal because there's no ultimate prize.

If they wanna use a title to give guys something to do, they need to use the U.S. and I.C. titles as major upper-midcard goals instead of having two world titles.

[#1-norm-fan]

Either that or just use the US title as a step down from the IC Title for the guys below the upper-midcard. Kinda like the TV Title was in the early to mid 90's in WCW. A potential stepping stone to the IC Title which is a potential stepping stone to the World title. The roster is packed enough to make each division awesome.

A potential stepping stone to the IC Title which is a potential stepping stone to the World title. The roster is packed enough to make each division awesome.

They don't have to step down either of the titles... just have the fucking champions defend them. On a regular basis. In feuds.

They just made a big deal about Mox not defending the US Championship in quite awhile, but that was less because it's true and more about pushing Reigns. Instead of laying the groundwork for either a) someone chasing chickenshit heel ducking them, or b) playing the role of Horsemen to keep Ambrose as champion like he's the new Ric Flair, they instead made it an afterthought for Roman to make a dig at Dean for that juicy dissention in The Shield crap that will likely lead to a break up that doesn't really need to happen and affects so many decent tag teams (let's break them up just for the sake of it - INSTANT FEUD!!!).

The bigger issue is that WWE has a bad habit in recent years of just putting belts on people and then forgetting about it, unless they're one of the world champions... and then even that applied to the "Big Gold Belt" as of late. Really, the last time anyone seemed to have given a damn about the midcard titles is when Cody broke out the white leather I.C. strap. Remember Curtis Axel lost it to Big E? Henning* Jr doesn't seem to really give a shit that even happened and is now just paling around with Ryback. No war. No feud. Just the requisite rematch, another loss, and then an "oh well". And then, this goes back to not pushing people and wondering why nobody is over or credible. Why should I care about any of the championships if your fucking champions don't?

How many more face/heel alignment changes can they cram in to that time?</font>

Hahaha this was not me I swear:

– Just to note TPWW readers – there seems to be an imposter who apparently is replying to site users below in the comments section under a name nearly identical to my posting name and is also using the same profile photo that I use. For future reference, if a post on the comments section is from me, my name will have the word “MOD” next to it. I often don’t reply as I like to let you guys have fun and interact with each other. 99% of you guys are awesome and we can’t thank you enough that. There will always be that select few though and it sucks as they ruin it for everyone else. The current mod team and I are banning the imposters and their IPs as we see them. I know several other users have had the same issue as you’ve emailed us about it. We are taking care of things and are talking with DISQUES to explore possible legal action in the near future. They are working with us to provide IP’s and locations of the people responsible for the imposter accounts. It’s sad that someone actually takes the time to create profiles with near identical names, same profile photos, etc. Some people have way too much time on their hands I guess. We apologize for the issues and are working hard to fix things. Thanks for sticking with us guys.

These are so good, omg. The lucha ones. Looks like they're all just throwing each other around.

Yeah! Sin Cara at his finest.

[Droford]

If the timing was better (a couple months from now) you'd almost have to think that Axel was supposed to be Punk cause Austin/Lesnar/Punk 3 pack would be awesome.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Or Austin was supposed to be Punk. People don't really remember Austin as a Paul Heyman Guy (at least the WWE action figure buying audience.)

[Droford]

or maybe Axel was supposed to be Goldberg who decided not to sign a new deal?

dont want to relive that do we..

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Best moment in 2k14 was giving both those fuckers the stunner.

[Bad News Gertner]

Watched the Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling documentary on Netflix. If you have a spare couple of hours check it out. Really well done and really sad. The ending definitely h a few tears going.

When was the last time the WWE had a guy hit his finisher on 10-15 people at once?

[The Rogerer]

Ryan Clarke is clearly just Triple A's mudering alter ego

Orton & Cena vs The Entire Raw Roster?

[Brigstocke]

Stone Cold.... But it's OK because the laws of finisher overuse were wrong...

Dirtsheets:

Regarding multiple users using WWE Network accounts at the same time, a WWE representative told one reader that they will allow 2 viewers at a time, per account. Netflix began offering multiple profiles per account last year.

ESPN's E:60 program recently filmed at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando and the NXT TV tapings at Full Sail University. The following comes from their Twitter:

"How are @WWE characters @TheRock @steveaustinBSR created? Unprecedented access with @e60 @TripleH & the @WWENXT stars"

Satellite TV provider Dish Network has pulled all advertising for Sunday’s WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view.

The show is no longer listed on the Dish website Sports & Wrestling Events page or the Dish channel guide. TNA pay-per-views are still listed. Based on this information, it appears that Dish Network is dropping WWE pay-per-views ahead of the launch of the WWE Network next week.

With WWE bundling their pay-per-view events on the $9.99/month Network, there has been a lot of buzz in the cable/satellite TV industry that top providers will be retaliating against WWE by no longer covering their events. Following the announcement of the WWE Network, a spokesperson for DirecTV told the Los Angeles Times:

“Clearly we need to quickly re-evaluate the economics and viability of their business with us, as it now appears the WWE feels they do not need their PPV distributors.”

They added that sales WWE PPV events “have been steadily declining, and this new low-cost competitive offering will only accelerate this trend.” DirecTV still has Elimination Chamber listed on their website as of this writing.

[Lock Jaw]

Can't wait to watch that E:60 special, honestly.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Yeah, that sounds rad, really.

[CSL]

yeah, JR's blog sells it really well, apparently ESPN had unlimited access/could go where they wanted etc, were there for 2-3 days and have hours of footage

[Anybody Thrilla]

It's kinda funny that The Rock and Steve Austin didn't come through the Performance Center, though. Way to go, Twitter.
