I think he's one of those guys that once he gets going he just goes off the rails.

Cornette is one of my favorite people in the business to listen to.

Fignuts 02-20-2014 02:59 AM

Eva Marie is astonishingly bad. Even for a diva.

Bad News Gertner 02-20-2014 08:46 AM

She's soooooo fucking hott though

SlickyTrickyDamon 02-20-2014 09:00 AM

Yeah she's got a hot trashy look. She should do porn instead of wrestling.

he's a worker like everybody else. He knows what people want to hear when he does these things for DVD's etc. It's basically his gimmick. Was definitely an air of "eh ok, I'll do it" when Russo came up but he still "gave (certain) people what they wanted". It baffles me that people want to hear the same stuff over and over again. Except Dairy Queen. He can talk about Dairy Queen forever.

TLC outdrew the Survivor Series, 181,000 buys to 177,000 buys.

WWE released their Q4 2013 and Full Year financial results on Thursday morning. Here are the final pay-per-view buy rates:

Battleground in October: 114,000
Hell in a Cell in October: 228,000 (up from 199,000 in 2012)
Survivor Series in November: 177,000 (down from 208,000 in 2012)
TLC in December: 181,000 (up from 175,000 in 2012)

The buyrate for Hell in a Cell was the show’s best since it debuted in 2009 – and the Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton main event outdrew the John Cena vs. Randy Orton WWE World Heavyweight Championship Unification match by a wide margin (26%).
Quote:

They are really excited about the WWE Network going live on Monday. Regarding pay-per-views, Vince says most standard providers have agreed to carry WrestleMania XXX and after that it will be on an event-by-event basis.

They believe that a fully distributed WWE Network can attract between 2 and 3 million subscribers.

WWE expects a $12-$15 million first quarter loss this year due to everything that comes with the launch of the Network.

WWE's first report on the number of Network subscribers will come the Monday after WrestleMania XXX.

They spent around $12 million in 2013 preparing for the Network.

An investor asked about CM Punk. Vince said: "He's taking a sabbatical, let's just put it that way."

Speaking of Mysterio, the reason he was booked on Northern California shows last weekend instead of his hometown San Diego is because officials felt he's been booked too often in San Diego. San Diego ended up drawing the worst crowd of last week.


Fignuts 02-20-2014 04:08 PM

So on monday is the network going to be $60 up front, or $10 with the commitment?

GD 02-20-2014 04:12 PM

I have started to dislike Podcast One for how they advertise on Austin, Jericho and Ross' shows. I listened to Ross' debut show and I did not necessarily liked it. I am bored to death with the combination of the three. Please stop. Jericho is criminally repetitive.

The Rogerer 02-20-2014 04:19 PM

I stopped listening to Austin's because of the advertising nonsense

Fignuts 02-20-2014 04:28 PM

Ads don't really bother me, as it's just once in the beginning, and once in the middle. Not a big deal to me.

CSL 02-20-2014 04:33 PM

seriously, takes about 1.7 seconds to skip them

CSL 02-20-2014 04:35 PM

that's an official number too btw ftr iirc

$10 for the first month but your locked into 6 months so either way the WWE will get that $60 regardless if you stay for that long or not.

Heaven forbid they have advertisers for a show YOU GET FOR FREE FOR THE WORKING MAN

I believe that DirecTV will continue to air WWE PPVs. My reasoning is that they target sports fans. I expect the PPV price to drop at some point, however."

As for Dish, he wrote on the Wrestling Observer site, "WWE ain't gettin' on Dish unless the pay-per-view price drops to $9.99."

Miller also told the Fool that Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSK ) , which currently holds right to WWE's flagship TV programs, "may drop WWE PPVs or demand a price decrease if WWE TV programming leaves NBC/Universal networks. I expect smaller cable networks to continue to offer PPVs."

Dish, DirecTV not the risk for WWE

In announcing and launching the network, the WWE essentially told its fans that it was giving up on the traditional pay-per-view model. That move is risky since PPV revenues, according to the WWE's 2012 annual report, "were $83.6 million, $78.3 million, and $70.2 million, representing 17%, 16%, and 15% of total net revenues in 2012, 2011, and 2010.
1 million yearly subscribers to their network will get them $120 million...minus network cost

Also, it will be interesting to see if the PPV prices do drop. If they drop to $20 I might order them since I can't watch on the network because of my cap. I think the monthly TNA ppvs they tape are like $20..

Sweet. No, I knew it was a $60 commitment either way, was just hoping it was split into $10 increments.

Thanks for your take.

Albino-Taker

James Steele 02-20-2014 09:29 PM

Sweet Jesus...Taker is turning into Post-Apocolyptic Hipster Mordecai.

James Steele 02-20-2014 10:06 PM

It would be pretty interesting if he returned and didn't dye his beard and hair. It would make it a) that much more impressive when he does the crazy spots he will do and b) make it seem more likely he can be beaten.

GET OFF MY LAWN!!!

Seth82 02-21-2014 01:52 AM

really great discussion from Jim Cornette & Steve Austin on Sputnik Monroe.

Sputnik was responsible for ending segregation at the wrestling matches in Memphis.

Sputnik Monroe was a friggin badass during his heyday. He was arrested for drinking at a black cafe back in the early 60's.

After he was arrested he had a black attorney defend him in court.

I could go with this. He referred to the ring as his "yard" so almost every match he comes out ala Austin before the RR in 98 or Kane near the end of 98 with a cane and beats the two wrestlers because "those stupid kids are wrestling in my yard"(needs to be mid-carders) then leaves to go to the Country Kitchen Buffet.

Mr. Nerfect 02-21-2014 12:12 PM

Is it just me or is Curtis Axel getting more comfortable in his role? He just seems to be doing everything right. I hope he gets really, really over one day.

I've decided that I want Ryback to wear that singlet of him and Axel together, and I want Axel to get matching trunks. Go all out with this. Give them a super-annoying mash-up of their themes together and have Axel hold a laptop as Ryback tweets "You all suck" from the stage before each match they have. Then all they need is a double-team finisher. Maybe Ryback can have the guy up in a Argentine rack, and then he tosses them over into an assisted version of Axel's finisher? Or they can just be trolls and steal the great finishers of tag teams past. The Doomsday Device and the 3D being the first two that pop into my head.

These guys could be huge.

Mr. Nerfect 02-21-2014 12:16 PM

I've also decided that I don't like the RybAxel name. They can still refer to themselves as that sometimes, but I think they need an official team name. They should have an internet poll with some ridiculous names on offer, and then choose the one with the least votes. Or choose one entirely at random.

Axel's theme is my ringtone and current favourite. Ryback and Axel do well together. Ryback's loudmouth heel persona is perfect with Axel. Probably the best tag team since the Road Warriors.
