They shouldn't do a tag for the other girls, but rather a Divas Invitational on the Kickoff. And have Evil Emma win it.

lol I was talking to hb2k about Jericho's heel turn on Styles and how while Jericho has been effective since the feud with Styles began, the way WWE "does things" really took away from the gravity of when Jericho turned.

First of all, Michael Cole was just like "Code Breaker.... and another Codebreaker... and another codebreaker" as though it was just business as usual.

Secondly, the codebreaker while a "neat maneuver" as well as an effective-ish finisher, doesn't exactly show Jericho's new vicious side.


I all of a sudden just imagined Ricky Steamboat turning heel on someone via hitting several armdrags and for some reason just died laughing, because honestly that's kind of what it felt like.

It seems as WWE is heating up in WrestleMania season, Vince McMahon and Triple H, the chairman and the COO, are having more arguments over the event. This time the issue in question is which match should close the show, according to Daily Wrestling News. Vince feels Lesnar should be main eventing WrestleMania due to all the money WWE is paying him, but there’s concern a non-title match with Dean Ambrose isn’t big enough for a main event. This isn’t an indictment as to how Vince feels about Ambrose, but Vince wanted more star power for a Lesnar match and remains disappointed they couldn’t get The Rock to wrestle.

Triple H wants his title match against Reigns to main event (shocker!), but there’s speculation Vince may actually be souring on Reigns.

There’s also a feeling that The Undertaker against Shane McMahon should be the main event given the stakes of the match and the fact ‘Taker is a Texan native.
Another big clash between the two recently involved when to debut Finn Balor and WWE's version of the Bullet Club. Vince wanted it to happen on the March 7th episode of RAW in Chicago while Triple H wanted it to happen as a post-Mania surprise debut. It likely wouldn't have involved Finn being placed in a high profile match for Mania and it also seems Vince no longer holds a favorable view of NXT based on recent dirtsheet rumors and reports.

This week's first airing of Lucha Underground on the El Rey Network drew 100,000 viewers. This is up from last week's 95,000 viewers but down from the previous week's 124,000 viewers.

The replay drew 57,000 viewers, up from last week's 41,000 viewers, making the total for this week's show 157,000 viewers. This is up from last week's total of 136,000.

Impact on Tuesday night did 307,000 viewers for the 8 p.m. show and 123,000 for the 9 p.m. replay. It was the largest total in seven weeks for the show and the replay ws teh biggest number since moving to Pop TV. It shows that at this stage, being almost live does help TNA's numbers. In the past it has made no difference.

The advance gate for WrestleMania as of one week ago with 84,000 seats also broke the all-time pro wrestling record as expected. That number includes standing room (Party Pass) tickets that have been sold, which are sold out. We were mistaken as the 84,000 number we had last week does include the standing room so the final number is going to end up slightly above this. Who knows what will be announced. The gate was at $12.8 million as of 3/9, breaking the $12.6 million all-time pro wrestling gate set last year, although not by nearly as much as you’d think given the huge difference in actual attendance.

With the larger stadium, more tickets were being sold at lower prices. The number also beat any UFC gate in history. Obviously a ton of boxing gates beat that number. There are boxing matches that did more than 85,000 fans, with the all-time record for a paying event being the Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Greg Haugen fight in 1993 at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City with 132,274. While largely forgotten, there was a 1941 fight in the U.S. with Tony Zale vs. Billy Pryor in Milwaukee that was a free show that did a reported 135,172. The record for a paying U.S. show is 63,350 for a 1979 fight with Muhammad Ali vs. Leon Spinks at the Superdome in New Orleans
In terms of ppv buys and revenues, UFC's big shows still make a lot more than Mania with only Mania 28 coming close.

On Raw, there was a commercial for the WWE Network plugging all the shows over Mania week, pushing seven hours of Mania coverage (two hour pregame show, one hour postgame show, four hour main show), the Hall of Fame, an Austin podcast with Foley and other special events. Very conspicuous by its absence was the 4/1 NXT special, which with the Nakamura debut and ridiculous secondary market prices, is clearly the most anticipated NXT show in history. The next day, a lot of people were openly not happy about that

For TV this week Raw will be in Philadelphia on 3/21 and Smackdown in Boston on 3/22. Shane McMahon, Undertaker and Lesnar are not advertised for Philadelphia. Lesnar and Heyman are scheduled for Boston. The final TV will be 3/28 at the Barclays Center with all hands on deck. They will do Raw live as well as tape Smackdown for 3/31

King Cuerno/El Hijo del Fantasma has been doing some cryptic tweets of late
Between the recent rumors of him being unhappy with AAA and Season 2 spoilers, he's basically done with AAA and Lucha Underground.

Question: Other than the money, what did you enjoy most about your time at WCW?

BH: I really didn’t enjoy anything. If I had to sum up what one thing I did like I would probably say wrestling Sting. Sting was a class guy, just a first rate guy. Great guy to work with. Great guy to talk to. Great guy to hang out with. A real friend. No ego. Never saw any ounce of ego. Just a team player all the way and I always had a lot of respect for him. He really made coming to work fun. When I look back today I just have mounds of respect for Sting. When I watch some of our matches back they were actually pretty good. Considering we had absolutely no direction. Absolutely no storyline. Nothing made any sense. He was always able to make sense of the most stupid stuff that Bischoff could come up with. I just have so much respect for the fact he was there as long was and he just was a guy… you never forget guys like Sting. He was just there every day. Showed up for work and did the best he could every night. He made a real difference to guys like me in the dressing room that almost lost hope working there.

Triple H wants his title match against Reigns to main event (shocker!)

Feel enraged at this.... why does the person reporting it feel the need to add his own thoughts.... and why is it a "shocker"?

Perhaps Triple H just thinks, justifiably so, that the WWE World Heavyweight Title should be the main event of the show.

No you need to end with the world title match, I just think it's funny that he's a the champion.

[VSG]

With the current roster as it was this year, how many people would be actually believable as the champion? Poor booking aside, he is one of the very few who can carry the title and a good match.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I am firmly on the fence. Like I "get it" but it is typical castrated booking to go with the old.

[Hanso Amore]

Anyone else feel like WM is backwards?

Wouldnt a much better card have been

The Taker shows up at 30 and wins the title at the Rumble. Reigns gets a shot at him. THats a big match feel. Taker the champ going on his last ride against the new face of the company?

Then Shane returns and wants back in, and Vince pits him against HHH in Hell in a Cell for control of the future of the company. Really keeps it in the family and makes way more sense.

Brock vs AMbrose remains.

Just seems like the stories make more sense like that.

[GD]

The way things are being booked, Shane versus Taker seems to be the "unofficial" main event of the show just like Mr. McMahon vs Hogan at Wrestlemania XIX. I have high expectations from the Brock - Ambrose street fight. Not sure if the WWE will have Ambrose become the first wrestler to defeat Brock Lesnar via pinfall ever since he broke Taker's streak.

Other than that, I'm a bit disappointed with how Sami has been booked ever since his call-up to the main roster. In situations like these, I wish the brand split was still in effect so that wrestlers would receive more attention from the creative.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I like Matthew's card.

The Florida jury just came back with a verdict awarding Hulk Hogan $115 million in his case with Gawker Media. The case will obviously be appealed and there is very little chance he will be getting anything close to that figure. But the verdict sends a strong message to the media regarding publishing sex tapes of people without their consent ...

Gawker would have to post $50 million to take it to the appeals court, which makes that aspect tricky as well, as the verdict could force the company into either bankruptcy or sale. There was a great deal of potential evidence Gawker was hoping to introduce that didn't make the trial due to the rulings of judge Pamela Campbell and Gawker is going to use that in its appeal.
Some details regarding the Hogan-Gawker case that went in Hogan's favor and Gawker hoping to use the now unsealed files if they have enough money for the appeal.

WWE has announced on Twitter that Cesaro will be returning to the ring during the WrestleMania Revenge tour in Europe next month.

Cesaro will be in-action at the April 15th live event in Amsterdam, Netherlands at the Ziggo Dome, which indicates he will be wrestling at the other shows on the tour. Cesaro has noted in recent interviews that he will not be cleared in time to compete at WrestleMania.

The back injury, I'm not sure but uh it's not super serious but it's serious enough that he couldn't work over the weekend but I don't think it's that bad that he's going to be out for any kind of lengthy period of time and they still, the plans for Bray for the Summer and Fall are pretty big. He's supposed to do something with Lesnar at one point, he's still to do something with Roman Reigns again, they're supposed to go back to that, so there's big plans. It sounds like Bray's going to be the top heel down the line and that hasn't changed
Update to plans regarding Bray Wyatt's current injury.

On Sunday, April 3, USA’s live hour of the WRESTLEMANIA KICKOFF SHOW will start at 6PM ET/3PM PT and include the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, featuring 20 WWE Superstars.WRESTLEMANIA 32 will broadcast live from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Biggest take-away is the injury crisis being bad enough the WWE dropped the amount of guys needed for the battle royale match. Last two Andre battle royales were 30-man matches.

On Monday's RAW it was advertised that the WWE Network will feature 7 hours of WrestleMania coverage and the Hall of Fame ceremony, but NXT Takeover: Dallas got no mention. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that a lot of people within the company are openly unhappy that the NXT event was not promoted on RAW.

Either someone simply forgot to include NXT Takeover in their WrestleMania week lineup, or someone in WWE felt it wasn't important enough. One conspiracy theory is that Kevin Dunn may have made the decision to leave Takeover off the promotional video on RAW. NXT is considered to be Triple H's project, and Dunn has nothing to do with the NXT product.

Meltzer noted that the feeling within WWE is that Dunn will likely be let go when Triple H and Stephanie McMahon eventually take over the company.
Some more details on the rumored growing rift between Vince's side and Triple H's side backstage.

Thursday’s WWE Smackdown averaged 2.260 million viewers for USA Network, according to Showbuzzdaily.com. The number was up from the 2.186 million count from last week.

I think he [Ambrose] shined so much as a wrestler, as a performer, that this match got him over more in my eyes than he was before this match and I liked Dean Ambrose to begin with.

This match elevated Dean Ambrose. Dude, someone who books can argue that point with me, but I stand by the fact that someone had to get beat and the right guy got beat and he got beat in the right way and it's going to make him stronger and that kid's got a great future. He did before this match. He really does now. He went out there on a big stage with a top guy and threw down.

From a recent Stone Cold podcast regarding the HHH-Ambrose WWE title match at Roadblock and how Ambrose managed to elevate in status even with the loss.

AAA has been strongly hinting that Rey de Reyes on 3/24 in San Luis Potosi will be an iPPV. The date is a Wednesday and will be going head-to-head with the Aztec Warfare match on Lucha Underground

I watched all of them bar the last two which I'm catching up on since I'm awake this close to F1 qualifying. Other ones had their moments (shockmaster), but this episode is the first one that I would say had no misses. Think a lot of that had to do with E&C taking Stardust along to interact with kids. Seems unscripted.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

This very random Stan Hansen vs Nailz squash match holds a very special place in my heart. Honestly is like a bar room brawl and Hansen just kicks the ever loving fuck out of this dude. You could tell there were points where Nailz seemed like he wanted out. My favourite is the finish. First he drops like the most heinous elbow I think I've ever seen. And then fucking decapitates him with the lariat and he broke Nailz's nose within the first minute and a half LOL

It reminds me of the Cape Feare Simpsons and Homer's like "Who wants to go through this cactus patch?" when Sideshow Bob is underneath the car and everyone is like "YEAH" And bob is like "...nooooo" and Homer's like "2 against 1" or something and drives Bob through the patch. That is this match, Nailz is Sideshow Bob and Stan is the cactus patch.

On a wrestling podcast that discusses random weeks in wrestling history based on the old Wrestling Observer/Pro Wrestling Torch newsletters. It's extremely interesting. It's called "Between the Sheets". Link below.
I also learned that HBK quit the WWF for a few weeks in 1993.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

what was the back story there?

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Jesus at that Stan Hansen match. This elbow drops, good grief.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

hahahaha I'm so happy you had that reaction. "Stiff" or "snug" doesn't do those elbow drops justice. Kelly at certain points would fall to the ground so he didn't have to get smashed in the face again.

Then the Lariat at the end. It's not the same as the clothesline from hell, but it's more just a straight up smash to the face and you can just see Kelly on the ground going " :( why"

[Bad News Gertner]

what was the back story there?

Shawn being Shawn. He actually did a bunch of shots for Lawler in Memphis at that time.

[Jordan]

Is that story in the episode that is four hours long that has a pic of HBK losing his smile?

[Bad News Gertner]

It's the 1996 show with Pete Schirmacher in regards to the inheritance story. The shows are long, but if you look in the description it breaks down when they discuss each company.

The 1993 show with Keith Harris discusses HBK quitting the WWF.

I understand it's not "cool" to be down about certain aspects of wrestling. The cool kids these days are being "constructive" and "realistic". It's hard writing interesting TV these days etc....

But I am going out on a limb and saying that this is the WORST Wrestlemania CARD of all time. It could end up being great, but the card is poorly put together, has no mega matches or storied rivalries.

Roadblock, a house show special on the network, was basically the same level card wise.

Disagree. It's not the best card but it's far from the worst.

AJ and Jericho will bring it. Their previous matches haven't been what they could be, but with this being mania, I think they'll deliver.

As I've said before, zayn vs owens has been a very personal and intense feud, and we already know they can put on a great match.

I'm really curious how they're going to make shane vs taker a competitive match, so it definitely has me interested at least.

Ambrose vs Lesnar in a street fight? Come on. That's going to be fucking awesome.

While I'm still not sold on Reigns as the guy, I think he and Triple H are more than capable of putting on a great match.

[Fignuts]

Hell, even ryback vs Kallisto could be an interesting match.

[Maluco]

Jericho and AJ plus Owens and Zayn is not on the card yet from what I can see. Unless something has changed? They needed those two matches to guarantee a few quality matches on the undercard. But they are not there on the card I just commented on. More important than that though, in terms of the card (not the event quality), they need those matches for a few feuds with depth and a story. Something the majority of the card has none of.

I actually think this is a year they could have done with Undertaker in there against a 'real' opponent. Not thrilled at the prospect of seeing Shane, a decade older, acting the wrestler. It doesn't appeal to me.

Reigns and HHH will be good but this is supposed to be Wrestlemania, the main event, the biggest match of the year!

As for Lesnar/Ambrose, it will almost certainly be great but I feel like they haven't done enough to focus on the feud and make it heated. It was a mistake for each to be looking at Bray and HHH so close to the event if they wanted us to care about this match.

I just don't see where the pull is, in terms of heated feuds culminating on the biggest stage, or even marquee matches...anywhere on the card.

There will be some great matches, there could be some shocking moments and am sure the night will be enjoyable enough, but it is a shocking card for a Wrestlemania

[Nicky Fives]

Owens/Zayn & Jericho/Styles are off that card and the two I look most forwards to.... Owens/Zayn could easily be the Steamboat/Savage of this generation.....

That looks absolutely awful. Why do WWE even bother with these shitty movies? Surely that's not gonna make a profit for them?

(Also, Ziggler had a clear shot throughout most of that. Idiot...)

Shane vs Taker is literally the only match that brings a "WrestleMania feel" with it. In that it's the only match that saves the card from looking like it could happen any other time of the year. Sucks. Can't remember ever caring this little about a WrestleMania and it's supposed to be "the biggest one ever".

[Emperor Smeat]

Last year's and either Mania 27 or 28's build was pretty bad as well although this year does feel like they aren't even trying. Injuries have played a big role but doesn't excuse how half-assed the card feels with what they have left.

[GD]

Hulk Hogan's lawsuit being mentioned on The Edge and Christian Show.

[Fox]

Damn. This has got to be the worst WrestleMania card of the modern era, say, since WrestleMania 8. And yes, it absolutely has to do with the injuries. The WWE has been dealt a very shitty hand this March season. Imagine what the card would look like if they had John Cena, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins, Sting, Bray Wyatt and Daniel Bryan healthy for this event. Or if they had managed to get The Rock or Ronda Rousey to get into the ring? They really did get a bad deal for Mania this year.

But that's not the whole problem. They have also decided to play the hand they were dealt in a really disappointing fashion. The main event is the worst of it. The last main event I remember where the fans were so ambivalent toward both parties was WrestleMania 22. Some people think that night made John Cena. Perhaps that's what they're trying to accomplish again. I'm personally of the belief that Roman Reigns doesn't have half of what John Cena has in him. Reigns has not had his "Doctor of Thuganomics" phase where he more or less got over on his own. He will absolutely need that if he's ever to reach the heights of Cena, Austin, Rock, Hogan, Macho, or any of the other "faces" of the WWE. And it's going to have to be one hell of a performance if they plan on pulling off the "big push" at Mania. I mean Oscar caliber performance from both guys.

The Shane/Undertaker feud has really boiled down into shit. Everyone was excited when Shane came back. But he's really made a mess of the whole thing by his constant screw ups on the microphone and by those embarrassingly weak punches he threw at Taker on RAW. The corporate world has clearly taken from Shane some of that spark he had in him during the Attitude Era. The stakes are "high" from a storyline standpoint, but I think we all know that there's no chance Shane wins and ends Undertaker's WrestleMania career. It will likely be a really good match and Shane will probably damn near kill himself to make sore of that, but the best way I can put it is that everything feels wrong about this match. It's completely out of its time and incredibly contrived.

Don't get me started on the Intercontinental Title situation... you have an incredible heel wrestler, who is also very over with the fans, as your champion, and you could choose one of SEVERAL face wrestlers for him to go against, and give us a guaranteed, solid, in-ring 20-25 minute classic. The glaringly obvious choice is Sami Zayn, and we already know that match will deliver. AJ Styles would also make a perfectly acceptable opponent. Instead, they are going with another clusterfuck 7-man Ladder match, which we have already seen a thousand times before. I get that, in theory, it is more "difficult" and therefore more "prestigious" to defeat 6 other men in a ladder match than to defeat one other man in singles competition, but when you have a card that is already struggling to deliver, why would you put so many of your most talented young stars into a match where only one of them is really going to get over in the end? And to make it even worse, they actually DO give a singles match to the trashy United States Championship in a match between Kalisto and Ryback, two guys who really are not capable of putting on a "classic" WrestleMania contest. Why not make Kalisto's US title up for grabs in a Ladder match and let Owens defend the IC Title in a singles contest? It is impossible for me to believe that no one suggested this very idea.

New Day against the League of Nations makes absolutely no sense. Turning New Day face is a bad idea.


The only bright spots that I can see are Ambrose versus Lesnar and the Diva's Championship triple threat, but back in the days, these matches alone would not really persuade a $60 purchase out of me. Ambrose is awesome, don't get me wrong, but this is kind of a waste of Lesnar. He should really be doing something "bigger." What that would be I'm not too sure, but it would probably involve the WWE Championship in some form or another.

[Emperor Smeat]

Yeup. WWE would have been forced to have done a lot better job at building new top stars like in the past whenever the old top stars no longer could bail them out of a mess.

They don't have Cena (and Orton) as the usual fallback panic options but at the same time doesn't seem like they care about fixing the serious issues that's plagued them for years.

Pretty much what Smeat said. Maybe not necessarily a better show but one that would require a little bit of effort on the part of creative to build new people. Instead they put the title on a semi-retired guy and brought back Shane McMahon.

Monday's episode of WWE RAW, featuring Dean Ambrose vs. Braun Strowman in the main event, drew 3.399 million viewers. This is down from last week's 3.457 million viewers for a show loaded with many top WrestleMania 32 stars.

For this week's show, the first hour drew 3.466 million viewers, the second hour drew 3.416 million viewers and the final hour drew 3.317 million viewers.

For last week's show, the first hour drew 3.471 million viewers, the second hour drew 3.392 million viewers and the final hour drew 3.510 million viewers, breaking the usual third hour drop.
For some comparison on how bad's its gotten, WWE has lost almost a million viewers since Shane's return for this year's Road to Mania.

WWE informed Sky Italy, which will carry WrestleMania on PPV, that the show will go five to 20 minutes past the hour so it will be longer than the usual four hour main show.

There was what looked to be an injury after Raw went off the air in a dark match with The Wyatt Family vs. Roman Reigns & Dean Ambrose & Dolph Ziggler & Sami Zayn.

Multiple reports have come in that Harper took a spill onto the floor and grabbed his right leg. Those at ringside believed he blew out his knee but as of this moment we don't have anything official past the point the WWE medical staff came out immediately. He left under his own power but was helped to the back by the other members of the Wyatt Family.

A WWE fan was escorted out of the arena after striking Braun Strowman in the face during the dark main event after last night's WWE RAW in Philadelphia. As noted, that match saw The Wyatt Family take on Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler and Roman Reigns, the same match where Luke Harper suffered an apparent knee injury.

The fan was reportedly quickly pulled from his seat by WWE security and taken away.

After several fan incidents in 2015, WWE stated that they could look at pressing charges for all future incidents.

WWE announced today that Vader will induct Stan Hansen into the WWE Hall of Fame. WWE has an article up on their history together, which you can read WWE at this link. The induction ceremony takes place on April 2nd, and the rest of the class features Sting, The Godfather, The Big Bossman, Jacqueline, and The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes, Terry Gordy, Buddy Roberts and Jimmy Garvin)…

Roode's contract expired around 11-12 days ago. He and TNA had a verbal agreement for a new contract for less money (because TNA has no money) but at the tapings this week he changed his mind and gave his notice.

Young was under contract, but thought he wasn't getting enough money. TNA agreed that if he dropped the TV title, they would release him from his contract.

Meltzer talks about late payments and says he's heard stories about at least one wrestler who had to wait months to be payed a relatively small amount of money. Says this played into Roode and Young's growing frustration with the company.

Morale was said to be really low at the tapings, with the general feeling being that TNA is going nowhere.
Update on TNA's recent departures. Observer hinted the WWE is currently interested in both guys.

WWE's website just spoke with 2016 WWE Hall of Famer Sting about the induction and his in-ring future. The full interview can be found at this link. Sting revealed that he did not have surgery after suffering the neck injury in the WWE Night of Champions match with Seth Rollins last year. Sting saw two neurologists, one in Houston and WWE's Dr. Joseph Maroon, and both said the same thing - Sting wasn't having any of the side effects he should have had. Sting said he's feeling good and completely normal. Below are highlights from the interview:

It had been reported that you were diagnosed with spinal stenosis. Is that diagnosis now inaccurate?

"I am not saying that is inaccurate. I'm agreeing there probably is spinal stenosis or cervical spinal stenosis. I have had certain doctors tell me, 'You know, so many athletes of all ages, they've got this. They deal with it to some degree or another.' I had one doctor here tell me, 'You're fine, you're okay — you don't have anything to worry about.' And then wrestlers say, 'I'd see this doctor.' 'No, I'd see this one over there.' I'm telling you, it's just craziness. So I'm thinking, as long as I'm feeling good, why am I going to do anything? And the one thing everyone has said is don't go under the knife unless you absolutely have to."

Had you not had this injury setback last September, do you think we would have you seen performing at WrestleMania this year? Or, is that just too tough a question to answer because of all the variables?

"Oh no, it's an easy one to answer: Yes. If I had my way, yes, of course. I would have loved to have done one more WrestleMania and I would have called it quits at that point. The Undertaker match — that's what I wanted to do. "

Had there been any early discussions prior to the injury of what your role could be at WrestleMania 32? Or, was it just something that you had in your mind?

"Yes, it was in my mind, of course, but everyone knew that I definitely wanted to have that one match. And, of course, WrestleMania would have been the place to do it. But, I got hurt and the rest is history."

As noted, "Daniel Bryan Appreciation Night" has been postponed after being announced for Friday's WWE live event at Madison Square Garden. WWE and MSG cited a scheduling conflict.

It should be noted that Bryan is no longer advertised for this weekend's WWE live event in Trenton, NJ and the post-WrestleMania 32 tour of the UK. It appears WWE has canceled all upcoming "Daniel Bryan Appreciation Night" festivities at live events.
WWE later revealed Bryan asked for some time off from touring and was granted it. http://www.f4wonline.com/wwe-news/daniel-bryan-will-not-be-appearing-msg-ceremony-postponed-209766

Ryback worked as a babyface against Erick Rowan on all the weekend house shows.
He's swapped around a few times with the face/heel role for house shows ever since his recent tv heel turn. Seems like the WWE still isn't fully committed on his current turn yet.

While he still has matches left in NXT (the match with Shinsuke Nakamura on 4/1 is scheduled as his last one), this was Sami Zayn's last weekend doing NXT tours.

The more the writers get their hands on their shit, the worse off they'll be. BUT in saying that, you do have three incredibly savvy guys who are probably pretty into the idea of keeping their spots now and I hope I hope I hope they decide to do some politicking. Honestly, I feel like a lot of these youngsters are afraid to politic, but you DO NEED to protect your spot. It clearly helped the shield as all of them are still featured heavily (regardless if you fully agree with their direction) on television.

If all of a sudden 2 weeks after mania, Vince says "Big E, we need you to job to Demon Kane" he needs to say "nah...". At the end of the day, while I get the WWE is the big leagues, these guys can make good money elsewhere and need to start backing themselves.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

So what are the forums thoughts about Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn being dropped in midcard hell whilst Ryback and Kallisto will be having a singles match?

If it's a ladder match, then fuck yeah. Want as many talented dudes as possible in there and I'd rather they dropped Sin Cara and Ryder for AJ and Jericho. Individual feuds can be sorted at Extreme Rules, but I'd rather have a clusterfuck.

No thoughts on Ryback V Kalisto. Would rather Kalisto be in the ladder match, but it just looks like a boring match.

[Lock Jaw]

Please refer to this post from my RAW thread for my thoughts:

Just watching/fast forwarding through RAW right now....

WHAT

It is like they are intentionally doing the worst things possible....

So, instead of having Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn in a one on one blood feud type match.... they are now both stuck into a multi-man ladder match.

Meanwhile Kallisto gets the one on one match spot against Ryback. Kallisto, the guy who you would think would be the one to fit right in defending his title in a multi-man ladder match if they wanted one.

This seems totally ass backwards to me.

Kallisto really "started to break out" in a ladder match, winning that OMG Moment Slammy.... why would you not put him in the ladder match.....

Current Mania plans and spoilers going around the net at the moment:
It looks like Undertaker vs. Shane McMahon for control of Raw is going to be the main event of WrestleMania 32.

Braun Strowman is still apparently penciled in to win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 32.

There's apparently been some talk of adding Golden Truth to the Dudley Boyz vs. Usos match at WrestleMania 32.

Kurt Angle has told The World According To Wrestling he knows there will be a time when he does return to WWE ...

Here are some excerpts…

On returning to WWE:

Well, for one, I don’t want to go back right now. Two, between 2008 and 2013, I got four DUIs. As a publicly traded company, it doesn’t matter if you’re Kurt Angle, Stone Cold Steve Austin or The Undertaker, when you get involved in that kind of trouble consistently, that’s the last thing they need. So when I did try and go back a year and a half ago, I think they were thinking “Let’s see how he pans out, let’s see if he can stay clean, let’s see if he got his shit together” so I think that’s part of it. I don’t blame them for that. I actually knew ahead of time that they were most likely going to say no. And I knew it was because of my own actions. But being clean now for three years and abiding by what I have to, I know that there will come a time where I will go back.

On why he left WWE in 2006:

There are a lot of reasons. The main reason was the work schedule. I was probably on the road over 300 days a year. I was getting injured quite a bit. I did have a problem with painkillers. When they brought me into ECW, I felt like it was a demotion. Even though it wasn't. I don't think they planned it to be. They didn't mean to, but they set that company up to fail. And I felt like I was part of it ...

On Jason Jordan and Chad Gable:

For me to go back and, if I do go back I’d love to be able to wrestle, but I know I can’t do it full time. I’m 47 years-old. And that’s why those guys would be perfect as my team, like a Team Angle, because they could do the wrestling for me until the big one comes. So it would be kind of cool to have that. I’m not going to say those guys are going to be my guys, but they’re almost ready to come up – if not they are ready. I’ve watched them wrestle and they’re really good. It would be really cool to have a new Team Angle. I could do the big matches; the Summerslams and the Wrestlemanias. I think that would be a good mix. And it would also give them a great rub, a rub that they need. We’ll see if we do something like that, I don’t know if it’s on the cards, but you never know.

Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio following Raw that many within the company were "astonished" that this is what WWE had to offer just two weeks out from WrestleMania.

The Fabulous Freebirds revolutionized tag team wrestling in their heyday, and now, one of the biggest beneficiaries of their innovations will induct them into the WWE Hall of Fame. Before a sold-out American Airlines Center and a worldwide audience watching on WWE Network, reigning WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day will present Michael “P.S.” Hayes, Terry Gordy, Buddy Roberts and Jimmy Garvin as members of the Hall’s Class of 2016.

Lucha Underground just locked down one of the hottest free agents in wrestling … Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Sami Callihan inked a deal for season three.

Multiple sources say Sami began negotiations to join the roster not long after appearing in a dark match during a season 2 taping, and he’s expected to debut at the Temple this weekend.

Callihan — known as Solomon Crowe in NXT — was released from WWE last year and we exclusively reported that he asked for it because the wrestler had plans to reinvent his image on the indie scene.

WWE.COM: Do you think we’ll ever see Big E in some Celestial Bodiez Booty Scrunch leggings?

KAITLYN: Short answer? Absolutely! Here’s why. We are currently in the process of producing a men’s line. My seamstress is creating the first samples, and my goal is to have it released in the early fall, but it would be nice for summer. It’s a long process. We’re developing the best possible pattern to get the perfect fit. The issue that we’re running into is whether we want to put in the Booty Scrunch or not. We’re thinking no, but we might make some available with the scrunch. And if we do, E is wearing those. He has no say in it.

WWE.COM: Are you going to hold him to that?

KAITLYN: Please, look at what he wears on television! He wears the tiniest, tight singlets. There’s no way he wouldn’t wear
Part of a recent interview WWE had with Kaityln recently regarding her post-wrestling business success. http://www.wwe.com/article/kaitlyn-iron-man-magazine-2016

Obviously there is a story here and I'm working on it.

Yesterday I had a number of people from WWE asking me what the story is, so whatever it is, not a lot of people know. I've only come across one person who I believe knows who told me he would prefer not to tell me.

Update to the recent Daniel Bryan show cancellations and break request news.

AJ Styles was at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Atlanta this morning, which had the north and south terminals evacuated after a suspicious package was found. An unattended bag in the south terminal had a “positive hit” from the K9 explosives team, although the bag was later cleared. Styles posted these tweets today regarding the incident:
Something is wrong at the Atl airport. My guess, a bomb threat.

In a major development in the ongoing lawsuits against World Wrestling Entertainment in regard to concussions and their alleged lack of education and protection for talents who performed for them in regard to head trauma, United States District Court of Connecticut Judge Vanessa L Bryant dismissed several lawsuits against the company and dismissed a number of claims brought against them in another lawsuit.

Most of Bryant's ruling noted that there are many, many contradictory statements made by the Plaintiffs in their filings against WWE. Referencing that the Plaintiffs claimed they were never properly educated about the dangers of head trauma nor medical information about concussive blows, Bryant noted, "Beyond that sole allegation, the Complaints devote large portions of their overall length alleging various injuries and slights sustained by WWE wrestlers other than the named plaintiffs. In fact, despite the length of the Complaints, the Court’s prior admonishment of plaintiffs’ counsel and the Court’s provision of additional time to file a Second Amended Complaint in the Singleton action, there are precious few allegations which detail specific instances of conduct that have wronged any of the five plaintiffs. The Complaints are replete with theoretical allegations of conditions from which a hypothetical person could suffer without alleging that any particular Plaintiff actually suffers from such a condition which has been causally connected by an expert to such Plaintiff’s performance at WWE events."
All except two lawsuits ended up getting dismissed. Report itself goes into details on why they got dismissed and how badly the lawsuits were handled by the plaintiffs. http://officialfan.proboards.com/thread/540437/huge-update-wwe-concussion-lawsuits

[Bad News Gertner]

The Teddy Hart interview is amazing.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

The Teddy Hart interview is amazing.

Brief synopsis?

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol it's a Teddy Hart interview. That's the best way I can describe it. He's a gem.

[DaveWadding]

"One of the women says that she wasn't a sex worker until Teddy pimped her out, and that he drained her of $229,000 in a matter of months, mostly for weed and cat food."

[Fignuts]

Why the fuck does rollingstone give a fuck about teddy hart?

Like, how is he even on their radar?

[DaveWadding]

Rolling Stone has been putting out surprisingly good wrestling features for a while now. I can't explain how or why though.

[Heisenberg]

Kurt Angle managing American Alpha for the year and having Haas and Benjamin come back for a Mania match against them would be fuckin tits mcgrits

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Thought Haas retired.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Been working so much can't really get into the WrestleMania spirit. Just watched NXT and got hyped watching the American Alpha package.

I like a good American Alpha package. :naughty:

[Blonde Moment]

So what are the forums thoughts about Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn being dropped in midcard hell whilst Ryback and Kallisto will be having a singles match?

Put them in a chance where the odds are higher they will get injured.
Seems like a smart move to me :roll:

[Lock Jaw]

What if everyone in the IC match got injured in the span of five minutes....

[Mr. Nerfect]

Zack Ryder and Sin Cara in the IC Title Ladder Match. Didn't see that coming.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I wonder how this card would have looked with John Cena and Randy Orton there? I always imagined Orton to be facing Bray Wyatt, but with Wyatt hurt would Orton vs. Harper be happening?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm really surprised that Chris Masters hasn't ended up back in the WWE. The guy is still built like a brick house, he's got more experience than when they called him up green as fuck, he's still in the business, he seems like a cool guy, he saved his mother from a burning house with a fucking tree, and he's still only 33 fucking years old.

There's some real money left on the table with this dude.

[slik]

WrestleMania set construction has begun

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CeVXwc4UUAEzAQM.jpg

[Mr. Nerfect]

After hearing a few people joke about Hogan possibly becoming Dixie Carter's new TNA investor, a bizarre thought popped into my head: Could you ever envision Hogan starting up his own wrestling promotion?

How much money do you think a legitimate start-up for something would cost? Is there room in the market for it? Could Hogan viably go to Spike TV and say "Look, brothers -- I'm not going to have anything to do with the creative of this product, we've got this guy for that, but I'm going to lend it my credibility as the biggest star wrestling has ever had. Will you give us two hours on Thursday, brothers? Maybe just a one year tryout?"

Bring in Kevin Sullivan and a Kevin Sullivan team to book it. Lock down guys like Bobby Roode and Eric Young that are free. Bring in guys like Chris Masters and talk to Carlito about coming back over from Puerto Rico. Make sure Ken Anderson is sober and bring him in. Sign The LAX for the tag team side. Bring in great workers like Chris Hero and get them to choose guys they work really well with on the indy scene -- like "Speedball" Mike Bailey. Sign Kota Ibushi to be your cruiserweight sensation. Maybe even bring in a few women like Taya and Amazing Kong (if she's healthy and has her mind in the right place) and have them fight over the NWA Women's Championship to give it some attention.

Oh, and sign Kurt fucking Angle and Goldberg and hope that you can work something out with Lucha Underground where you can spotlight a select few of their talent during off-season, so you can have Rey Mysterio come in and or have a PPV kick off with a Fenix vs. Pentagon, Jr. match, or just have Johnny Mundo's abs on television.

Eventually more talent will come over from TNA. Bobby Lashley, James Storm, The American Wolves and The Hardys (imagine a Matt Hardy vs. Awesome Kong freak show clash on PPV) are probably your real targets. Maybe EC3. Hell, maybe you eventually dissolve TNA into your product and just quietly refresh a lot of the guys there that are really good but have TNA stink on them. Eventually you might even get a few people from the WWE side jump over -- Dolph Ziggler, Zack Ryder, Jack Swagger, Cesaro, The New Day (if they get fucked up and blamed for it), etc. Fuck, you might even be able to land a HUGE signing like Randy Orton, who sometimes seems to be frustrated by the WWE's general direction.

Hogan may or may not get the money, and he's probably done with anything ambitious in wrestling. He'd probably make mention of investing somewhere just to scare Vince into paying him even more money not to and just sit at home. But man, if there's a rich guy with some sort of connection to wrestling that might have something to prove to Vince? It's Hogan. It's my pipe-dream and I'm allowed to have it.

[Droford]

Itd kinda be weird if Sin Cara won the IC title and the lucha Dragons had the IC and US titles..

[Mr. Nerfect]

Pay Jim Ross a shit tonne of money to come back and do commentary with Jim Cornette. Have Cornette play a "what has wrestling become?" heel color guy that laughs at the little guys when they drive each other on their heads.
"Somebody call Cheeseburger's mom, the sauce is a little off."

Work as hard as you can with other promotions like ROH, New Japan, AAA and the NWA to bring in some of their talent, name-drop their usual promotion, give them a good showing and then send them off on their way with a lot more exposure. You'd position yourself as the babyface mega-company.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Itd kinda be weird if Sin Cara won the IC title and the lucha Dragons had the IC and US titles..

I'm thinking something weird might happen with the IC Title at WrestleMania. Like Stardust wins it and it snaps him back into being Cody Rhodes, or Zack Ryder or Sin Cara win it. The title has been on Dolph Ziggler and The Miz so many times at this point that it won't help either one of them and might even hurt them. Kevin Owens or Sami Zayn seem like more obvious picks, but they could take each other out and continue their rivalry away from the title. In some weird sort of way, Zack Ryder or Sin Cara winning would actually make a whole lot of sense since they're in there.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I wonder if they put the belt on Ryder just to eventually do the Mojo snap and turn on him?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Sin Cara seems really flat at the moment, but there would be something cool if he got to the top of the ladder, took off his mask and revealed himself to the world and sort of "matured" into this more human character. It'd make it stand out as a moment more.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It really confuses me how they want to have more Hispanic stars, but then have this guy under a mask just pointing at things being a peripheral character. The same goes for Epico y Primo doing that shitty comedy gimmick. Why they aren't doing something more valuable, even if it is low on the card, is beyond me.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Carlito seems more ready than ever for a return to the WWE. Given that, unlike Del Rio, he actually seems to fit within the entertainment paradigm of WWE, I could imagine this being the year where they give him another shot. The New Day vs. The Colons -- I can see it.

[Poit]

http://i.imgur.com/fYC8Geh.png

[Mr. Nerfect]

Dana Brooke was actually pretty cool last I saw of her, but she needs to be the second in that group as she learns. Then she can turn on Evil Emma and make Evil Emma our hero Evil Emma.

[Droford]

New Day vs Luchas for all belts

Cause New Day having almost all the belts would be great

[Mr. Nerfect]

That would fucking rock.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Have Kofi Kingston as the IC Champion, Xavier Woods hamming it up as the United States Champion and Big E goes after the World Title. :y:

[Mr. Nerfect]

A bit early for Big E, granted, but he doesn't need to succeed first time out.

[Tom Guycott]

Have Kofi Kingston as the IC Champion, Xavier Woods hamming it up as the United States Champion and Big E goes after the World Title. :y:

4 Horsemen = 3 Unicorns-men! Whooooo!

[Ultra Mantis]

Sin Cara seems really flat at the moment, but there would be something cool if he got to the top of the ladder, took off his mask and revealed himself to be DDP.

1. New Day ROCKs.
2. Why wouldn't he want to join 3 over as rover African American wrestlers?
3. Already has a feud with Rusev.New Day Sucks.

Rock can be more entertaining by himself.

Rusev is lame also.

[Big Vic]

I never want to hear Jim Cornette utter another sentence about anything.

[Jari]

I never want to hear Jim Cornette utter another sentence about anything.

Cannot believe there a people out there who still want to hear what this out of touch dinosaur has to say about anything anymore. When Russo is coming out with more sense than you, something is definitely wrong.
