Perhaps use pyro/effects ONLY on PPV's and/or mix up the set design just a bit. I dunno man, it is all starting to blend and become same same.

Spending a bit of money on PPV shows to make them feel aesthetically different would go a long way to helping them stick in the memory. Maybe they don't always need to have completely unique sets or anything, but cool intro videos, specialized theme songs, different rope colors -- smaller genuine touches that don't require a whole load of money, but rather a little bit of creativity.

Pyro has its place in wrestling. Maybe not for every RAW or SmackDown or entrance, but if someone really calls for pyro -- give them pyro. It should come about organically as an aesthetic decision.

Yes for RAW but not really for Smackdown.

Them removing pyro is just going to make their usual show format even more bland or sterile going forward.

Cool King and WWE's Road Dogg are right about the complaints not being an issue after a while but WWE also keeps giving less reasons for people to stick around for the long term.

I think we're potentially putting the cart before the horse; I agree that pyro and unique sets would help the appeal of PPV/specials but there's far more pressing issues that would help more.

The shoe-horning of feuds into gimmick matches to suit the theme of the PPV is a big issue for me. As are the throw-away multi-person matches, or rematches of luke-warm programmes (looking at you Mahal/Orton). Or needlessly racing through hot feuds.

Oh, I don't think pyro is the biggest issue. It's just the attitude around the homogenization that bothers me. And the reason they need to cut costs is because their product is cold.

They broke up, but nine months later she gave birth to a baby boy. The son was adopted to loving parents, with Angle being unaware of the pregnancy or the birth until recently, and eventually grew up to be Jordan, who he also announced as the newest member of the Raw roster.

As for Jordan’s tag team American Alpha, it appears to be done for good. We’re told there aren’t any immediate plans to bring Chad Gable over to Raw.

The show will be called "War of the Worlds UK -- Liverpool," and will be available for $19.99 through the ROH website and FITE TV. It will start at 1 p.m. Eastern time on a Saturday afternoon and will be the company's first iPPV show outside of the U.S. or Canada, although they have also had streaming specials on New Japan World.

The iPPV is part of the War of the Worlds UK tour, with dates also scheduled for August 18th at York Hall in London and August 20th at the Corn Exchange in Edinburgh, Scotland. Revolution Pro Wrestling's Summer Sizzler show is also set for York Hall on August 17th and is listed as a kickoff event for the tour.

As expected, Taya was pissed on Twitter for both being stripped of the title and AAA not saying the reason why.

Given the shit AAA pulled by screwing over Morrison and Taya, I can't imagine that either of them are long for the AAA/LU world. I imagine that Morrison is locked in, but I can see him getting out of it, because AAA are notoriously shit at contracts.

If he does, it wouldn't surprise me to see Morrison pop-up in the WWE for either a feud or partnership with The Miz.

The limited LU schedule really brought a lot of his swagger back. He's smaller now than he was at his WWE peak and he looks pretty great. Lemme dig up a recent LU match for you.

If he does, it wouldn't surprise me to see Morrison pop-up in the WWE for either a feud or partnership with The Miz.
It's a work.

Speaking of Rey, he'll be headlining a nearby indy show next month with Cody Rhodes.

That same promotion ran a show here in town last Friday that saw Cody and Ricochet have a banger of a main event. Jack Swagger and Dijak had a fun match earlier on the card too. I'd go see that promotion again.

Download a browser addon called "Hola". It will let you get around any geo-location based DRM.

It will give you a little icon in the right-corner of your browser, you simply select what country you want to "spoof" your network settings from and viola.

The helicopter departed from Westchester County Airport earlier in the morning. A mayday call was sent out before the crash landing and a commercial flight alerted the Federal Aviation Administration to it.

In year-over-year comparisons, SmackDown was actually down 20 percent, although last year's show was the live draft special which kicked off the current brand split and featured wrestlers from both Raw and SmackDown.

Rumors broke today claiming that Lesnar and Paul Heyman were at the UFC offices over International Fight Week and talking about him fighting in Madison Square Garden on November 4th. That date would be impossible because Lesnar had a one-year suspension for two failed drug tests for Hydroxy-Clomiphene which dates back to his final positive test on July 9th.

Lesnar's one-year suspension was frozen in mid-February, meaning that he has five months left, putting a return to UFC competition at mid-December at the earliest.

Lesnar announced his retirement, meaning he was also out of the USADA testing pool.

Much of the story was denied to us, including Heyman being in the offices, however those in UFC did confirm the obvious interest in Lesnar fighting again if he would choose to do so. Putting himself back in the pool means Lesnar, who just turned 40, at least has some interest in fighting again.

In a story that was first reported by Pro Wrestling Sheet, detectives at the Orlando Police Department have found that probable cause exists to charge Paige with domestic battery. The information has been forwarded to the state attorney's office for review and to decide if charges will be filed.

The investigation into El Patron is still ongoing.

After initially claiming that her and El Patron were the ones to get police involved, Paige released a statement on Twitter last week that said she was the one who was held for potential battery charges after throwing a drink at El Patron. Police noted that El Patron was the only suspect listed at that time.

WWE has a zero-tolerance policy regarding domestic violence. The policy states that a performer would immediately be suspended if they're arrested for such a matter. Upon a conviction, the performer would immediately be terminated. WWE also maintains the right to fine, suspend, or terminate a wrestler if "incontrovertible evidence of such illegal misconduct" is presented to them.

WZ has learned that another reason why WWE decided to pull Taking Smack as a weekly series was due to cost in addition to low viewership. Sources note the show required its own production truck to produce live on a weekly basis, so the more expensive cost of the truck and show production, coupled with the fact that the show did not have strong viewership on the WWE Network, lead to its removal from the Tuesday night lineup.

Chris "Donovan" Dijak, who was one of a group of wrestlers that included Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly, that WWE pulled contract offers from after legal threats from ROH back in January, is headed to WWE like the aforementioned pair.

Dijak said on the New Age Insiders podcast that he will be finishing up his independent bookings and has since listed that various shows over the next month will be his final events working with different promotions ...

After getting WWE offers, he opted not to sign a new ROH deal in February, and his career has been on hold since, waiting for WWE's time frame on offering him a deal.
PWI reports he will be heading to WWE's Performance Center next month.

I just turned 40 in April and we have so many young and talented performers, I don’t know how many years I have left. So in the time I have left, I’m gonna do what I can to dedicate to this company I just want to be able to do it the most time that I possibly can."

He was also asked about whether he would stay on with WWE after he hung up the boots:

"If the day comes when I’m not involved with the WWE that would come as a drastic surprise to me. I would certainly understand it because we all have our career paths and nothing lasts forever but WWE has been my family for the past 15 years and I’ve been very vocal about my passion and love for not just my time in the ring as a wrestler, but the company itself, what it stands for, the people that work for. I literally would do whatever they asked me to. In whatever capacity I can help the company I would love to do so."

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that most of the new contracts GFW has signed with talent gives them ten percent of the independent date money the talent makes. In addition, it's reported talent doesn't get a cut of merchandise sold with their likeness if it's sold directly by GFW.

Currently on track to be the worst performing PPV for the new Brand Split Era.

Then when he was there, they said they needed to shoot more photos with the Reina de Reinas belt, so asked him to leave the belt there so they could do that. Then, when they had possession of the belt back, they announced that Taya had been stripped of the title because she used a choke when she won the title from Ayako Hamada (which was back on 4/21 in Tijuana in what has been called the company’s best match of the year) and that the title could only change hands via pin or submission. Yes, they tried to argue a choke wasn’t a submission as their storyline reason for stripping her of the title. Keep in mind it was two months after the match, and worse, the Taya-Hamada match was a no DQ street fight. The public got on Vampiro’s case since he’s the figurehead and he was the one who made the announcement, as when AAA made the announcement, they may not have even remembered it was a no DQ match. Vampiro tried to babyface himself on Facebook and try to quell things with Taya since the company looked bad. But then at the TV tapings over the weekend in Monterrey, Sexy Star returned, which nobody knew was happening and she left with very bad feelings toward AAA for walking about after being asked to lose a match and drop the mixed tag team titles she was part of ...

What makes that notable is that they also want Mundo to drop his titles which are the AAA Mega heavyweight, the cruiserweight and the Latin American heavyweight to Mascara de Bronce. Bronce had their version of a Money in the Bank briefcase, although he may not have it now since there was a winner gets the briefcase match on the 7/16 TV tapings where Mascara de Bronce lost to Kross. I don’t know how he’ll handle this but I can’t imagine he would be happy about any of this
Some new details regarding the situation between Johnny Mundo/Taya and AAA/Vampiro which likely played a big role in Mundo wanting out of Lucha Underground and AAA.

We believe WWE is being significantly underpaid in its current Raw / SmackDown deal,” BTIG analyst Brandon Ross wrote in the new report, which notes that the two shows generate a staggering 260 hours of original programming a year a big ratings for USA Network. Ross estimates that USA Network is presently paying $140 million a year for its WWE broadcast rights and speculates that a new deal with USA, Facebook or other potential tech suitors could fetch $400 million or more.
WWE is not going to get anything close to that for their next tv deal. For some reference, WWE wanted somewhere around $400-$800 million for their last tv deal. Link to the article: http://awfulannouncing.com/wwe/analy...-facebook.html

That information has been forwarded to the state attorney's office for review and to decide whether charges will be filed.

Paige had previously claimed that she threw a drink at El Patron and was the one who was held for potential battery charges.

Global Force Wrestling has yet to indicate whether the Orlando PD's findings mean that El Patron's suspension will now be lifted. He had been suspended indefinitely until the resolution of the investigation.

WWE's zero-tolerance policy regarding domestic violence states that Paige would immediately be suspended if she were arrested for such a matter. If she were convicted, she would immediately be terminated.

Vince McMahon doesn't hate Talking Smack, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, but he does not watch it either. He gets a weekly report about the series every Wednesday. One segment Vince was reportedly unhappy with was when The New Day appeared on the series right after Kofi Kingston got cleared on the May 23, 2017 episode. This ended up being their Tuesday night debut and Vince felt their first appearance on Tuesday should have been on SmackDown.

A WWE trainer came down and talked to Murphy for a minute but our correspondent noted that it looked like Murphy wanted to stay in the match. Referee Drake Wuertz came down a few minutes after the trainer and talked to Murphy, apparently talking him into going to the back to get checked out.

Raw numbers dropped only three percent from last week's three-month high for the show coming off Battleground.

Raw averaged 3.06 million viewers, making it the most-watched show on cable television, beating Rachel Meadow on MSNBC at 2.91 million viewers, and beating everything except ABC, CBS, and NBC.

This is the third straight week that Raw has averaged at least three million viewers, which is the first time that's happened since April ...

The three hours were:

8 p.m. 3.16 million viewers
9 p.m. 3.13 million viewers
10 p.m. 2.92 million viewers
In terms of rankings, didn't get the top spot since that went to the ghost of Nitro called Love & Hip Hop show. Also in terms of comparisons, same week last year had around 272k more viewers.

The finish of the match was awkward, which saw Owens roll Styles over while in the Crossface as a groggy referee counted three. Styles legitimately looked confused, and as noted yesterday, he stayed in the ring after the match and seemed upset. Because of the strange finish, there was some speculation that Styles might not have gotten his shoulder up in time and may have only heard the referee's hand hit the mat twice. Referees are supposed to call the match like a shoot, which would have resulted in the three count and title change.

According to Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Radio, the correct person ended up winning, however the finish of the match was changed after the match had started. Alvarez said that the finish was changed in the middle of the match and not at the end. It's not known why the change was made, but the decision was made to have Owens win before the finish.

The Great Khali was NOT with Mahal.

Spoiler tags used since it might be related to the results for next week Cena-Nakamura match and current status of Khali in the WWE.

Coming off of Sunday's poorly received Battleground pay-per-view, SmackDown ratings essentially remained even with last week's number. The show averaged 2.535 million viewers, down very slightly from last week's 2.548 million.

The episode was third for the night on cable, trailing the Rachel Maddow Show and Tucker Carlson Tonight, both of which aired opposite SmackDown. In the 18-49 demo, it fell to second this week with a 0.77 rating, trailing Sharks and the City on the Discovery Network.

With a full year having passed since the brand split and the move to a live format on Tuesday nights, the year-over-year comparisons are relevant again, and SmackDown was down about eight percent from this week in 2016, about the same as Raw has been doing.

Speaking with the Associated Press, Lesnar responded to comments that Jon Jones had made on a Facebook Live session on Tuesday. Jones said that he would love to face Lesnar and called the matchup a massive draw, but noted that he didn't think Lesnar would take a fight against him ...

Speculation about Lesnar fighting in the UFC again became rampant last week, with reports of him entering back into the USADA drug testing pool in anticipation of an eventual return ...

Lesnar is currently under a one-year suspension from USADA for drug test failures stemming from his win over Mark Hunt at UFC 200 last July. The suspension was frozen when Lesnar "retired" from MMA in February, and it's believed he would have to be tested for at least five more months before being allowed to fight again.

That would place a UFC return at late December at the soonest but more likely in early 2018.

Lesnar is currently under contract with WWE through next year's WrestleMania after signing a three-year deal in 2015, and the company would have to give him approval to fight while under contract. There has also been speculation that, in part, Lesnar is using a possible UFC return to gain more leverage in contract negotiations with WWE.

Matt Hardy also wrote that he had the entire conversation with Nordholm recorded and said that Nordholm lied to defame him.

Supposedly a website called Pro Wrestling Times got outed as the source for the fake arrest warrant story. They have ties to a former writer from Sportskeeda who was known to pass off fake wrestling news from time to time. Also has ties to a wrestling podcast show that got outed for selling stolen designs and bootleg wrestling merch.

So, it appears that is why Patron remains suspended despite the Orlando Police stating he is not a suspect nor is he being charged.

When Bram was suspended following a domestic violence related arrest several years back, his suspension from the company ended four days after it was publicly announced that the charges against him had been dropped. Obviously, that was a different management team and ownership, however.

He really does. I just don't get how he doesn't just let it go. You don't have to respond or even read them.
