Hogan/Lawler is off. Now Paul The Great Wight (Big Show) vs. Hogan
 

I'm watching this live stream: http://www.myeyewitnessnews.com/default.aspx (click the banner) and Lawler just announced that he can't do the match because of WWE's contract and Hogan's contract with VH1 in that he can't appear on Hogan's show. Now he's changing the match.

How can I possibly go on with my day now?

Not that I really give a damn, but thats pretty shitty if the WWE's contract with Lawler is the reason this can't go down.

Not that it needs to go down anyway, but still...it's the principle.

It makes sense, they can't have anyone appear on any other TV show without their permission.

Yeh, but you'd think they would allow it to happen. Instead, they want to be bitches.

Well, yeah. That was one of the big things why Hogan wouldn't come back, Vince didn't want him filming his show.

Yeh, and thats just shitty on the WWE's part all around. But what is anybody going to do about?

...And they know it and really don't care. So, meh.

WWE is doing the industry a service by preventing this public abortion

Shame.

They could've done good business.

Especially with the undercard having all the names they had listed in addition to the main event. Hopefully they can re-work this thing, and maybe get the headline match to be Hogan -v- Savage, and have Lawler work with someone like Terry Funk; they've also feuded, so it makes sense.

LOL, Hogan just suggested that he's too old to draw.

ROFL, like he believes that. :rofl:

Hogan vs Savage. HA!

Maybe if it's in a bar with broken bottles

I think it's going to be Hogan/Big Show.

ROFL, SHOW'S NOW CALLED "PAUL THE GREAT WHITE"!?

Paul The Great White




Holy hell that might be the stupidist thing I've heard.

You know what this means don't you?...


DENNIS FUCKING STAMP

he's finally getting that main event booking.

So wait....does this mean Paul Wight isnt under WWE contract anymore?

His contract expired a few months ago.

Where is this match supposed to happen?

I thought the expiration was coming up soon, I didn't realize he was already gone. Well, damn.

I guess I've been living under a rock....or in India!

(^Alex Shelley reference)

Memphis.

In the deepest bowels of hell

Same thing.

Hogan and Big Show are having a match in my butt?

Yea and they have room to spare

where did u hear is was going to be the big show and hogan

get those gay faces out of your posts and I'll tell you

Dunno, probably has nothing to do with the link in the first post or the fact that I was watching a stream of some sort.

PWInsider recap: http://www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.asp?id=23871&p=1

You think maybe if Hogan had been a little less of an ass towards WWE in recent months maybe they would have let Lawler do it?

Yes.

I don't see a problem with exclusivity. The show isn't a WWE production and Lawler is under contract with WWE. It'd be like TNA wanting him to do a guest spot or something. Maybe he can get permission although I don't exactly see that going well for him: "God dammit, King! We already gave you the Hall of Fame and weekly access to hot women so you can scream 'PUPPIES' all the time! What more do you want?"

I wouldn't see a problem with letting Lawler go ahead and do it, but they have every right (and reason) not to. WWE does let guys do outside shows from time to time, depending on who, and the circumstances.

I appreciate the link, but about four sentences in, I realized I didn't give a fuck about any of it.

Yeh, but TNA and MCW are on entirely differenct scales. MCW isn't going to rise up and dethrone the WWE has the king of sports entertainment. And isn't MCW loosely connected to the WWE?

^ In reply to my own post, doesn't look like TNA is going to do anything either. But, you get what I mean.

Just like to say that i predicted that match wouldn't happen 5 days ago, self kudos!

"I renounce my slave name." LOL, Shut up Paul Wight - you were getting pacychecks you no where near deserved.

When I saw this on the Observer, I figured Hogan backed out cause they wanted him to job to Lawler.

Anyone got a direct link to the stream? Doesn't seem to work for me :-\

It's over now (I assume), it was a live stream.

The thought crossed my mind.

But honestly, when I first heard about this, I clearly remember thinking, 'Yeah, that'll never happen.'
