Is there a more clear influence than the Influence Adrian Street had on Shawn Michaels.

Wait...what? Is this like a custom make your own storyline feature where you do your own voice acting?

Too busy with his other projects or some other unknown reason since the place I read it from didn't go into details.

Seems 'fishy' to me WWE is putting Royal Rumble tix on sale this week and ticketmaster doesn't have the event listed yet, nor is their a seating chart/price range available yet.

WM/SummerSlam/Survivor Series all have this info posted at this point in time. Hmmm. PreSales typically start Wednesday and I think AmEx typically has one on Tuesday.

Maybe not fishy, maybe just lackluster event management lately on the ticket end...

WWE's set designer snapped working on set design for presumably Royal Rumble 2019. If this holds true, ring would be just north of baseball diamond.

I think we're going to get DX/Shield vs Taker/Kane/Braun/Dolph/Drew 5 on 5 at Survivor Series

DX and the Shield two top factions joining forces for one night only I guess would be a big deal

As much as I want Shawn to return to the ring, I want him to stay retired.

I'm all for Shawn coming back, has been the best parts of Raw when he shows up.

The new episode of Ride Along from tonight (Becky Lynch & Charlotte Flair; Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville) is very endearing. :heart:

Shawn is great and will be the best worker in the company, but I'm not exactly thrilled about Crown Jewel or more stuff from Taker.

Lol Shawn comes back for a Tag team match with Kane and Taker.

Sadness

One day before pre-sale and still no seating chart and completely inaccurate pricing info listed. Zero chance of top ticket price being $206.

I never liked the name "Brothers of Destruction." It always felt like one of those nicknames JR would give guys. More like a descriptor. Brothers of Destruction just sounds like...well, are they destroying other people? Themselves? Are they brothers to destruction? It just doesn't feel like it's ever been complete as a name.

I remember Kofi.

Right. It's like Kane's wig.

Pretty much, or the "imposter" Kane Brian May electrocution wig. :lol:

Nikki is pretty hot. I don't think she should be feuding with Ronda Rousey, though.

No!!!

Fuck

I realized the reason I have felt so burnt out by WWE lately isn't the amount of content they produce, it's the fact none of it matters.

Everything is completely inconsequential. It's a weird creative trend they started 4-5 years ago, but nothing that happens has any lasting impact now. It wasn't always like that, it's a creative shift. Stipulations have no meaning. PPV matches have no meaning, they'll just be a rematch on RAW/SD indefintely the next few weeks. Face turns and Heel turns often have no meaning. Nothing that happens has any consequence.

It's not a quantity issue, it's a creative issue.

LOL that's gold

SHOOT THIS MAN IN THE ASS!

I thought that's what was happening on Raw when Logan fell all weird. Oh Brie. What are we going to do with you?

I liked how Liv Morgan fired up at the beginning of that match, though.

Apparently a current rumor going around the net implies NXT's Lars Sullivan sold Mania tickets for sex in return. Supposedly happened before Mania 32.

Supposedly a similar incident happened this year but involved multiple wrestlers and may or may not have included an orgy. Also might be have been the same woman from the Lars story.

Then there is the new rumor of Balor channeling his inner CM Punk with the amount of women he supposedly slept with in NXT.
