The Rock about to layeth the smacketh down on WWE's ratings for their RAW empty arena shows.

It happened on a pro wrestling card so it very well could be

I've checked that card on a couple of sites and it only records two MMA matches on the show, no mention of any wrestling besides in the promotion name. So weird.

This is where you were spot on about Severn in the first place, he fought on suspiciously tiny shows that were filled with untrained fighters and taking a dive for $50 against a legend beats having your arm ripped off.

This is why Cornette and others think MMA is basically pro wrestling all over again.
It's hard to argue when you look at a carny show.

Lol he fought Shannon Rich in back to back matches and did the same exact finish. One march was in like Alaska and the other was somewhere down south in like California so they didn't think anyone would notice.

Shannon Ritch, Travis Fulton, Dan Severn... Anyone that fights unheard-of's on a weekly basis will have a whole lot of suspicious data in their record.

I might waste my day doing that actually.
Statistical analysis...

My favourite worked MMA fight is Takada vs Kyle Sturgeon where Sturgeon drops Takada right away with a kick and just stands there. Probably because the Yakuza were sharpening their knives in the front row.

Mark Coleman fixed a few when he was broke, always in Japan.
Pancrase and Pride had a lot of fixed fights obviously but people forget guys like Ken and Frank Shamrock did it too. Vernon White was pretty notorious for it.

Pretty much all Kimbo fights were fixed. Dive money.

The Japs perfected that formula for everyone to enjoy. Buy off one guy, let the other think the win was real.

If this was the case wouldn't UFC be a lot better? Sure it may have happened in the company before but I have no proof. Could've been a ton of reasons for a fight to get thrown. They don't all have to do with the promotion itself though. I don't think that UFC or Bellator are inherently worked beyond match making being strategic.

I said MMA, not UFC.
However UFC has had plenty of fixed fights, right from day 1.

Didn't Ken Shamrock vs. Rich Franklin in UFC's first Ultimate Finale have a phantom punch in it? Also, it had Ken Shamrock take off his cup in the middle of the cage after the fight.

That's the beauty of MMA, it's hard to tell if someone is acting weird because they have given up or because they are outclassed.
Ken Shamrock worked a good number of fights early on and I have no problem believing that some of his later fights were extremely questionable given the level of opponent he was facing. I think when it comes to the UFC he was likely, at worst, guilty of fighting when he had to know he was going to lose pretty badly so his fights against Ortiz and Franklin were only feasible on paper.
I think Dana White used his name value to boost a couple of people who would have done well without it, which he is continually guilty of to this day.

Dana rigs things in people's favour but I'm not sure he has outright paid a guy to take a dive. I think referees, judges and fighters have been influenced in all of the most traditional ways though.

Maybe a ref stops getting used as much or has various rules emphasised to them before the match or an unsuited fighter takes a fight on short notice for a guaranteed 3 fight contract after.

Dana White is like a horrible mixture of Vince and every boxing promoter ever but like they were, he's smarter than the carnies so the fixing is all much smarter.

Small-time logic would be "It's easier to pay a guy to lose than pay a guy to win" but that's why the worst fixes are so obvious.
If you want to make it hard to spot you buy the entire business that the refs, judges and athletes compete in.

Up til Zuffa bought UFC the fixing was pretty brutal and often quite obvious. Guys on the same team might agree beforehand who was getting the rub based on likelihood of overall winning. I know Mark Hall did that for someone.

The worst I can remember off the top of my head was Anthony Macias vs Oleg Taktarov. He just runs into a guillotine and taps straight away. I think even Jim Brown realises it's fake and says something.

God Bless those early ones. Al Snow was in Dan Severns corner for one of them.

Just watched the match you referenced. Holy fake shit Batman. Never, even if someone were a "brawler" rush in head first like that....... dumbest thing to do.

All meaningless if people aren't willing to attend. It is Florida though, probably be sold out.

Allowing fans is borderline psychotic.

PRIDE was bad for fixed fights.

Imagine if you were a World Champion and that's the face you had to go home to.
No wonder Eddie died young.

I think Macias and Taktarov may have been team mates too, it's well known that agreements were reached so that one guy might go into a fight a lot healthier than his opponent.

UFC is a lot slicker now, like boxing in its heyday.

Now i know where wwe got "their idea" for table for three from.

By adding one to My Dinner With Andre

Yeah especially considering 25% capacity of Daily's Place is around 1375. Performance Center would be around 100 but everyone would be a lot more cramped in since less space to spread them out compared to a regular arena.

Vince and WWE managed to open up a huge can of worms because of their stubbornness over this on-going coronavirus pandemic. Them finding a sleazeball of a politician to do it isn't a big surprise on it own.

UFC could have saved a ton of money and ridicule from their Fight Island stuff had they just waited a couple of weeks for WWE to do the dirty work for them.

Like, even with 1375 people in every other seat, having fans seems like such an awful idea. I like the wrestlers being in the crowd because it has helped, and with a fuller roster they could enhance that atmosphere. But man, packing even 1k people in spaced out just sounds bad.

I am going to be contacting athletic commissions to see if Tyson Smith is Kenny Omega.
I have a hard on for this issue.

Wish me luck.

I'm planning to buy that book. Already got Capitol Revolution by the same author, which is about WWE's history up until Vince's purchase of the company from Vince Sr. in the early '80sl

I read that book a couple of years ago. It's really good.

27 years ago today. never saw Hulk be this technical. Not OVERLY technical, but moreso than anything he did in WWF.

Seems Charlotte's appearance on last week's episode of NXT was a huge bust in terms of viewership according to the Observer.

Despite them hyping up her match with Mia Yim for the past few weeks, the match itself ended up being the lowest rated in terms of the key demo and 2nd lowest in terms of overall viewership on the show. Also one of the lowest ever rated in the key demo since NXT moved to USA Network.

Outside of her first return appearance to NXT, WWE's plans of using Charlotte's star power to be a big boost for NXT's key demo ratings has backfired badly. Pretty much been diminishing returns since then.

I dunno, I don't really watch. I read results, but that's the extent. Reigns seems like the last person they should try to have compete right now.

They also erased Reigns from their Make A Wish videos this year despite him taking over Cena's role as the main star for it and being a perfect role model for the company following his own life threatening battle.

I'm unsure if the WWE has done something similar in the past when a performer has gone on an extended leave of absence. I doubt if there is any heat on Reigns since he's immunocompromised.

While not completely the same, WWE gave Hogan the scrubbing treatment after a tape of him using racist slurs got leaked.

I honestly think that they figure he's done wrestling

Roman is going to Hollywood. He doesn't need WWE anymore because he's going to ride the Rock's coattails into a more lucrative business.

He has no charisma at all, there's no way he's getting any good acting work.

Always assumed it's because they wanted the leaders of nWo Hollywood, the Wolfpac, the Flock, and then you had Goldberg who was the most over WCW guy.

Revenge is still my favorite wrestling game ever.

Only real negative I have about Revenge is finishers not being as devastating in terms of damage and being easier to kick out compared to AKI's later WWF games.

More of an issue for short matches or trying to speed run through Championship mode.

Did you even see his star making role in The Fast And Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw?!

Lol yeah when Ahmed was Moadib he did insane shit like that.

He really doesn't get talked about in terms of wasted talent. He was mega over when he first debuted in the WWF, but bad luck with injuries and laziness got in the way.

I remember being a huge mark as a kid for Ahmed. Thought he was gonna be a star.

He looked great until he did anything.
If Ron Simmons had been that vascular he would have been pushed forever in WWE.

Yeah, I remember being big into his feud vs Nation of Domination

How is Charlotte Flair doing as NXT Women's Champion? Subconsciously I can't help but compare such reigns to Cena's United States title reign.

Remember when they referred to the women's champion as the NXT Champion for a short period of time?

So far her reign feels like almost every other one she's had so far in WWE.

No real direction and came at the cost of knee capping all the momentum and star rise Rhea gained from her Baszler feud.

Could see NXT beat AEW this week via NXT having a big show and Tony Khan booking the laziest sounding card in ages...

Cody vs Janela
Mox vs Spears

Per Tony Khan, all wrestlers and staff present at tonight's tapings including himself were tested for coronavirus prior to entering the building and everybody tested negative.

So while it's nice that there won't be any potentially sick workers performing...that opens up the next criticism which is that they were able to rapidly test that many people in a short period of time despite a national test shortage.

This cannot be stated enough. Nearly as bad as the bungling of Asuka from NXT to main roster.

If it does happen, just more proof NXT can only really beat AEW by dipping even more into the TakeOver well and not because their weekly shows have been built up strong on their own.

Like the Dream vs. Balor feud pretty much got quickly canned in order to rush back to the Dream vs. Cole feud because NXT needs more than 1 Takeover-quality match on a show to sway the needle these days.

Hotness overload :love::love:

Yeah, I can't really get behind that booking decision.

While Charlotte is a top tier performer, she's always booked and treated like such a spoiled brat (which makes her unlikeable to an extent). If the dirtsheets were to be believed, she won this year's rumble match because she was promised a win at last year's event. That comes across as cringeworthy considering she did end up in the main event of last year's WrestleMania. All of these decisions do take some luster off of her accomplishments.

Lol did you know La Resistance were originally going to be called "Le Coeque"

I'm fucking dying over here laughing about the thought of that

The network is dead. This would be another obvious network show instead on A&E (who are also doing new episodes of Biography on wrestlers like Randy Savvage and Piper)

They gotta track down Pedro Morales's WWWF title belt that he pawned while champion so he could bet on the horses. Claimed it was "stolen". Wrestling historian Tom Burke bought it for $1500 from the Pawn Shop and later fold it for waaaaaaaaay more than that

Le Coeque! Bahahahaha!

rofl now I can't stop saying Le Coeque

Should have kept Ryder and Hawkins for this new show since they were already doing the same but for wrestling figurines.

Besides Florida, seems Connecticut also recently gave WWE "essential business" status which is why they were able to tape wrestling stuff at their headquarters for Money in the Bank.

I will embed later, if I remember. But it is glorious.

Haha Cornette was talking about that on the Drive Thru this weeks. I meant to watch it but forgot. Lol what a bump that guy takes

This year's SummerSlam might not be taking place in Boston due to the city's mayor not lifting the ban on large public events till early September.

I was watching something else Corny related, and this was recommended. Watched it and circled back to the video where it was referenced. Dude was drunk as shit, that's the only reason why he got launched. Likely the only reason why he put himself in position to get launched.
