Being part of the wrestling industry I'm sure Dave is used to those to claim to be his friends, talking shit about him.

The WrestleMania business rundown won’t be released until early August.

The disappointing profits saw the stock drop $1 per share in price to $19.79 per share and a $1.51 billion company market value. WWE had alerted investors after WrestleMania that first quarter profits would be lower than at first indicated, but even with that, Wall Street was expecting profits closer to $2.0 to $2.5 million.

The profits once again failed to cover the dividend of $9,169,320. But overall cash on hand did stay relatively even, as it was $267,140,000 at the end of 2016 (a figure bolstered by a lot of money in loans) and on 3/31 it was up to $270,683,000.

The network had 1,661,000 paid subscriptions as of April 3rd, which was the day after WrestleMania. Total subscribers fell just short of two million then, coming in at 1,949,000.

In a move that has to open up a lot of questions regarding the long-term of the project, the ITV television tapings scheduled for 5/25 and 5/26 at the Guild Hall in Preston, England, have been cancelled. The news was first broken by PW Insider even before talent was told shortly after the news had surfaced. Neither ITV nor Anthem Entertainment, who were working together on the project, had commented on the story. On 5/2, there was an announcement in the form of a single tweet by Anthem that the tapings weren’t taking place and that fans could get ticket refunds, with the story being it was due to contract negotiations.

That reason was actually honest, in the sense it was because ITV and Anthem Entertainment failed to reach an agreement regarding the deal to start the promotion and host the shows. That much wasn’t stated. A number of sources have said that it was due to issues involving the failure to get the contract signed or reach an agreement on contract terms. Exactly what the hold-up was isn’t clear, but it had to do with being unable to reach an agreement on how much money each side was going to put into the project. It’s not clear if the partnership has fallen apart or that there were issues each side wasn’t able to agree on at this point and it led to dates being postponed.

There will be an attempt to do WOS tapings in July or August, with the idea of the show starting on television during soccer season. There was a cultural belief that people would attend afternoon soccer matches throughout the country, and then come home and watch pro wrestling in that time slot during the 60s, 70s and 80s. ITV was looking at Anthem to fund much of the costs and them providing the time slot and build from that time slot into a promotion with live events and merchandise. They were looking at a light-hearted wrestling show, a style different from what has been popular in the U.K. on the independent level, using mostly British talent and some foreigners. When ITV was looking for an outside partner, Anthem and What Culture were the two companies suggested. They went with Anthem since they had more experience in producing weekly television.
Some new updates to ITV's World of Sport taping delays. Seems Impact Wrestling's new owner is to blame for why it occurred.

The working idea as of this week, which is not finalized, was to show both events live with Jim Ross and Josh Barnett calling the action. Station officials seemed confident enough about it that they told Bob Magee that the plan was to do both shows live. We’re told that AXS wants to do that, that it’s the working idea, but that as of press time, New Japan had not signed off on the deal so it’s not been officially announced. New Japan World will also show both events live for those who don’t have AXS

We do know that the 4/28 show declined from that range, but don’t have the figure

However, there were people who had already just used a three month free offer, and were no longer subscribers, that were getting this offer. One person noted to us he’s now gotten nine months free based on their offers. Another, whose three free months just expired this past week, said that he went to cancel, and was the offered another free month to stay

  • During a recent Observer Radio show, Dave Metlzer speculated the crying Aiden English segment from Smackdown might have been WWE's way of making fun of former announcer Mauro Ranallo.
  • Same show also had Meltzer speculate NJPW might be considering the idea of Okada vs Cody Rhodes for the G1 Climax Special in the US. Previously was speculated Omega vs Okada might be the major match for the event.
  • Former member of WWE's Creative team recently revealed several rejected ideas and plans for wrestlers and WWE's reasons for the rejections. One included re-imaging the Goldust character with Cody Rhodes and another involved a new Invasion type angle. http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/...d-story-ideas/
  • Stephanie McMahon had a recent interview with The National talking about the Women's Revolution, Triple H's Mania entrance traditions, and GM Kurt Angle. http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/...th-kurt-angle/
  • WWE's upcoming Women's Tournament got delayed again with the WWE now planning a late 2017 date for the event. Previously the WWE was planning an early 2017 date before going with the UK tournament instead and then somewhere between May-July before the recent delay.

My opinion, if she didnt want them stolen she should have deleted them. Whats the point of keeping photos like that when mirrors exist.

Very likely those photos came from the same recent batch as the Paige leaks which came from the same batch as the original Fappening event a few years ago. If so, wouldn't mater if she previously deleted the photos since Apple supposedly kept copies on their cloud servers without informing people.

Her name was also among those teased to be getting leaked after the Paige set of wrestler leaks happened.

I respect his work as a historian far more than I do investigative journalist. And that's only because the sources he relies on are largely junk. He's not having private conversations with the people who actually make decisions. That's the only part of his work that I am very critical of.

This is pretty much where I'm at. Meltzer has watched a lot of wrestling. Like, a lot of wrestling. I doubt anybody else on the planet has ever consumed as much wrestling as Meltzer because he's watched pretty much every televised show or PPV put out by every company over the span of 30 years.

So I wouldn't question him as a historian. I'm sure he has sources within WWE but Vince makes the final calls and has such a tight inner circle that any "dirt" his sources would have is still gonna be vague as fuck.

Well of course, I agree. That's always been the case though and anyone with a brain should view his reporting in the same way. Anyone who doesn't isn't very intelligent. That also doesn't mean his sources don't most of the time have legit, albeit vague, or not necessarily reliable info, at least at the time they pass it along to Meltzer.

We had reported Hojo's negotiations and signing as the story was playing out from last year. WWE was after both Hojo and Stardom's top star, Io Shirai. Shirai was brought to Orlando not that long ago to train, which was not supposed to go public but due to a communications issue, was briefly mentioned on the WWE website.

Shirai hasn't signed with WWE at this point.

Hojo has wrestled for just over five years and was an Olympic hopeful in yachting before getting into pro wrestling. She had worked a few shows for Lucha Underground but was not under contract with the promotion.

99% of his sources have 75% made up stories.

The PPV cards are the best. If he even had a low level person on the inside feeding him info, he would know the top of the card for several shows in advance because promos are cut well in advance. It's a small example of how his sources are fake news for the most part.

Just them trying to get as much leverage into a possible settlement from the WWE. WWE knows Anthem is only pulling these antics to get a fatter paycheck and the WWE doesn't care because they don't want to get dragged into another legal mess with Impact again.

They just recently came off from a potential big legal mess with ROH in regards to their signing practices and don't want to deal with another lawsuit that can be avoidable.

In the past, being taped hadn't hurt the rating but it does appear that was the case here. Next week will be more evident because if the number is in the same ballpark for a live show, that would be a very bad sign.

The three hours were:

The ref counted to three and then waved off the call. The other four women in the match (Bayley, Banks & Mickie James vs. Alexa Bliss, Emma & Nia Jax) brawled and realizing Emma was hurt, Banks went to pin her again and the ref counted three again. She left under her own power holding her arm and shoulder ...

Emma wrote that she's off of the remaining European tour dates and headed back to the United States to get tests on her injured shoulder.

According to his complaint, Bullard was zapped with an electric shock as part of the show. Anderson claimed that when that happened, Bullard kicked the camera out of his hands, causing serious inury to his hand, fingers, and wrist.

Anderson said that when it happened, he was told to leave the premises immediately for fear of further attacks.

As of what we've heard, the shows will be broken up into weekly one-hour shows, similar to NXT, airing on the WWE Network. At the tapings yesterday, it was announced that the first episode would be debuting before the end of the month.

Triple H also tweeted the same thing.

Ross will continue to also do weekly television for AXS and New Japan Pro Wrestling due to the unique contract situation he has, so he will be announcing for the two largest pro wrestling companies in the world at the same time.

Braun’s character on TV is supposedly suffering from a torn rotator cuff — even though he’s been wrestling Roman Reigns in street fights on the UK/European tour — and his injury angle was furthered at the TV taping tonight to officially give him time to get fixed up.

Strowman came out in a sling to wrestle Kalisto, but Reigns quickly interrupted. The segment ended with Roman hitting Braun’s arm with a steel chair on the steps.

Rosenberg noted that there has been controversy over his comments about Roman Reigns, while Graves said that there has been controversy over his own comments regarding Shane McMahon. The camera then cut to JBL, who had a humorous guilty expression on his face, who simply introduced himself before saying that he "won $24 last week playing golf."

As noted, Mauro Ranallo and WWE parted ways in late April. While Mauro remains under WWE contract until August 12th, he will be able to commentate for non-wrestling shows until then.
During the same episode JBL said he rather be captured by ISIS than ever hang out with Sami Zayn. Was done as one of those commercial cut-in type segments PTI does on ESPN but those usually have some context while JBL's statement had no context with the show itself.

The show was taped earlier in the day from the UK and was heavily wrestling-oriented with a main event six-man tag match featuring WWE World Champion Randy Orton, Jinder Mahal, and more.

SmackDown finished 11th for the night in total viewers on cable but third in the 18-49 demo with a 0.74 rating, trailing only NBA playoff action and its post-game show.
Dave Meltzer thinks next couple of weeks could be another low mainly because several big shows are having their season finales during that period.

WWE.com and E! Online announced the news today. The baby's name is Birdie Joe Danielson (as was previously revealed) and she was born at 11:58 p.m. on Tuesday.

"There is no better feeling in the world than meeting your daughter,” Brianna said. “I can't even express the overwhelming joy and love that Bryan and I are feeling. Now we know what parents mean about the love you feel when you first meet your child. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers on the safety of Birdie coming into this world."

Brianna's due date was originally scheduled for April 30th, but they were told that the baby would be arriving about a week late at a doctor's appointment shortly before then.

This is the couple's first child. They announced that Brianna was expecting last October, which came after she stepped away from wrestling earlier in the year to prepare for motherhood. She was featured in a 10-woman tag on the WrestleMania 32 pre-show in her last match.

Bryan has been absent from his role as SmackDown general manager and co-host of Talking Smack over the last few weeks in anticipation of the arrival of the baby.

The tournament, a 32 competitor event, will be taped for a WWE Network series. As PWInsider.com reported earlier this week, the current plan is to not release the episodes as a weekly episodic series but to instead release sets of episodes at once as Video on Demand programming, similar to how WWE has rolled out original series such as Holy Foley! and Camp WWE in the past. This would be the first attempt at releasing first-run in-ring programming with this strategy on the Network,.

The tournament would be similar to the Cruiserweight Classic with a big focus being on different international competitors. A number of talents are already undergoing background checks.

The current plan is to hold the finals of the tournament as a live WWE Network special on Tuesday 8/29.
Some new updates to WWE's upcoming Women's tournament.

It always just makes me think of Birdie from Street Fighter.

If Strowman is unable to work the July PPV, Rollins or Balor would be the most likely opponent for Lesnar, because Reigns is slotted to face him at next year’s WrestleMania and it doesn’t appear to make sense to do that match first and then bring it back. If anything, Reigns should be sidetracked from a title match until WrestleMania, although that makes booking tricky since Reigns is positioned as the biggest star on the brand except when Lesnar is around. Strowman at last word was expected back for SummerSlam, so he could face Lesnar there.
Current estimates are 1-2 months for Strowman's recovery.

Regarding the cancellation of the World of Sport tapings, the public story is logistical problems and the idea the tapings were too close to the dates for the Impact tapings in India (which are 5/30 and 6/1) and they are having trouble getting new dates, but that’s a clear cover reason. The key problem is what was reported here last week regarding ITV and Impact not coming to a business agreement over their partnership. ITV wants to do it, and the feeling was that they had the structure to handle a taping for one show, but not a promotion, which is where TNA came aboard since they have experience in running a wrestling business. It’s certainly not dead that they would be able to reach an agreement and do tapings later. It also may not happen. Whether ITV would do it on their own or work with a U.K. promotion is still up in the air. The problem with the U.K. promotions is that all the talent in the U.K., besides those signed with WWE & Anthem are free agents and work everywhere, and ITV would want a crew under contract so WWE couldn’t pick them off. The Mirror reported that the shows won’t be taped until 2018 which will kill the project because I don’t see any top talent not getting signed somewhere before that. A lot of the talent doesn’t think it’s going to happen now since no new dates were announced and just the way it quietly was announced as not happening. One person key in the plans said the story they were told was they were looking at starting in the next year, which sounds a lot less promising than if they said they’d be taping in the next two months. There were several minor things done to sabotage the project but ultimately I think ITV wanted to try wrestling which used to be cheap programming in the old days, but now it’s expensive and you have to sign the talent to deals or you’ll lose them if they are good to one of many different companies, most notably WWE. There are major issues that aren’t settled. ITV supposedly has a backup plan, but working with What Culture is not something that is being considered right now based on what we’re told. A lot of the talent signed by ITV was unhappy when the word was that Impact would be taking over and wanted out, and even more disappointed when these shows were canceled. Some were told that it may not be until next year when the first tapings take place, which is where the starting back in 2018 story came from. There was actually talk among some of the guys of a Radicalz 2000 jump to WWE, which obviously would have loved to have taken the top tier talent from the project, but many of the key contracts with ITV from the first set of tapings were for one year, so they have a long way to go. There was talk of some of them being at the WWE tryouts, but I’m not sure WWE would let guys try out publicly who have existing contracts and we didn’t hear anything about the contracted guys here trying out. Others involved with the project outright told us that given how everything went down this past week, with the cancellation and not even a clue of a new tapings date, or the nebulous early 2018, that they are going with their own mentality of like it’s not happening, and it’s a big disappointment because much of the talent had high hopes for the project
Its a long read but to summarize, Impact Wrestling is to blame for World of Sport delays and issues ITV is having with its production. Several wrestlers who were interested want out because they don't want to work with Impact Wrestling. ITV is considering an early 2018 date but also likely they will drop the project by then due to rising costs.

She’s had her arm in a sling and also out of the sling at the Performance Center of late. That puts her out of action in the Takeover show on 5/20 in Chicago. The match now will be Asuka defending in a three-way against Ruby Riot and Nikki Cross

"NO! You have to get your win back! If you just leave after WrestleMania, our US champion will look stronger than someone else on the roster! I don't care if you're an older guy and putting over a younger talent would be good, not only for business, but for a future feud if/when you do come back... EVERY FEUD MUST BE 50/50!

Jay Lethal was confirmed as the first entrant in the tournament.

The shows in California will take place on July 1st and 2nd. Aside from initial announcements about which NJPW wrestlers will be appearing, this is the biggest news that has been revealed about them so far. The cards should take shape after NJPW's Dominion PPV on June 11th.

Both shows will air live on NJPW World. Jim Ross also posted that AXS TV is set to announce their broadcast plans for the events on May 18th. Ross wrote that fans will like what they hear.

I have to agree with Matt, and myself, here. Perhaps Anthem has a vision for TNA that I don't comprehend but from the outside it looks like since they bought the company less than six months ago they have:

Let talent that the TNA fans loved go in The Hardys, Drew Galloway, Maria Kanellis and Mike Bennett, Jade and others.
Had their booking team denigrate the TNA brand that they had just purchased from Dixie Carter as if it wasn't worth promoting, or even watching.
Pushed a company in Global Force Wrestling, which has little-to-no national following, no television and frankly hardly any history, above the product that they just bought, which does have all of those things.

Now again, maybe they have a master plan percolating that will explain this behavior down the line but right now? I am with Matt Hardy. It seems like Anthem needs to step up and protect its investment in the Impact brand instead of promoting GFW.
Article PWI had in regards to the feeling Anthem is blundering with putting too much focus towards GFW instead of putting all the focus on rebuilding Impact.

It was noted that the backstage segment on this week’s WWE Smackdown Live, which saw Charlotte acting a bit more like a heel towards Naomi and Becky Lynch, may be a tease to once again turn her heel. Meltzer speculated that this may lead to an eventual Naomi versus Charlotte feud with Charlotte taking the heel role even though she’s designated as a babyface right now. It was said that people within the company were opposed the babyface turn in the first place, and Charlotte’s recent actions aren’t unlike her father’s face turns where he still acted a bit heelish.

Before you go into full panic mode … it’s possible the singer just didn’t think about her wording and the song is simply for #DIY/Tommaso Ciampa as well.

However … the team has seemingly run it’s course. Especially if they’re unable to regain the tag titles on Sunday. So a turn, presumably by Ciampa, would only seem to make sense.

Spoiler tags used since its related to possible plans for this weekend's NXT Takeover Chicago special.

The three hours were:

8 p.m. 2.88 million viewers
9 p.m. 2.72 million viewers
10 p.m. 2.65 million viewers
For some reference, Observer was speculating 2.85 million or better would have been considered good for the WWE based on competition. Jump from taped to live week was pretty bad since it was just 70k more viewers and could have been worse had the Cs-Wizards game lasted longer.

This would be a big blow to Stardom, with both of their top acts in Shirai and Kairi Hojo departing the company. Both had previously considered staying in Japan after receiving interest from WWE late last year, but it seems that both have now changed their minds.

Hojo announced her departure from Stardom earlier this month, and is expected to start at the WWE Performance Center shortly. As of right now, there is no start date for Shirai to come in.
WWE pretty much got the big star they wanted for the upcoming Women's Tournament and likely heavy favorite for it. Might still purge Stardom for at least one more big name based on recent rumors and reports.

Then Randy Orton, who doesn't like Bully Ray and was in Copenhagen, Denmark on the last night of his tour, wrote a tweet about indy mark, indy guys and old-timers, and bragging about the Smackdown tour doing $5 million in gates over the past 11 shows (I'd think that's a very low estimate and would be closer to $7-8 million) and kind of ran down indy guys. Then Orton apologized.

The reality is that guys looking to make names are always going to do too much for a veteran who has already made their name. And that the style has changed. And that guys in the past who have all kinds of injuries working safer want to warn the young guys for fear of them messing up their bodies. It's really a constant subject behind-the-scenes as far as risks in the ring that is very real. But it's easier to simplify this as bitter veterans or disrespectful young guys rather than address there are two sides to the story. Some guys would like to keep the profession safer, which is a noble goal, and some who aren't gifted with size and look or a promoter who likes them for that reason, want to make themselves stars and have realized through different experiences what works for them and what fans want to see from them.

Meltzer speculated that WWE will swap Brock Lesnar's original opponent for SummerSlam - which was most likely Seth Rollins or Finn Balor - for the main event of the Great Balls Of Fire pay-per-view in July. As seen on RAW last night, WWE announced that Rollins, Balor, Samoa Joe, Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns will square off in a Fatal 5-Way at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view on June 4th, with the winner becoming the new #1 contender.

Tuesday's big competition on cable was the Golden State Warriors vs. San Antonio Spurs NBA playoff game and NBA draft lottery. Those broadcasts did 5.775 million and 3.224 million viewers respectively and both aired against SmackDown.

SmackDown was down 173,000 viewers from last week (a drop of seven percent), which corresponds with this week's NBA game being up over a million viewers from last week.

The show was 10th for the night on cable in terms of total viewers. In the important 18-49 demo, it was fourth, trailing the NBA game, draft lottery, and SportsCenter, which directly followed the game.

It’s what the young guys do in these matches that bothers guys who have been in the business for a while. The young guys, like they said, they have a tendency to go out there and try to squeeze in every single move that they know. Every dive. Every flip. Every flop. Everything they can put in one 15-minute match. So in order to do that, if you are going to put all those moves in, you’re not going to have time to sell anything. It’s just going to be one move after another until the match is over. That is not the way wrestling became what it is today. Not what I think veterans look at and not what the business is supposed to be. It’s not that really entertaining for fans. I think that’s Rip’s and Randy’s point they are trying to make there.”

The King also gives insight on when he will hang it up and retire from wrestling: "When the non-wrestling appearances become more and more than the wrestling appearances. But I do not have a set end date when it comes to retiring from wrestling.”

“Bray began with my real-life lunacy,” says Rotunda. “I’ve always been an against-all-authority kind of child. I was a big fan of Rage Against the Machine, they were a big influence on my life as a child, so when I started working with Dusty Rhodes, I began losing my mind on a very real level. I became obsessed with this character.”

When Husky Harris failed on the main roster, he went all in with the Wyatt persona. “I was going to jury duty in my hometown, and Dusty made me go to jury duty as Bray,” Bill Rotunda says. “Dusty told me, ‘This is the perfect exercise. Become Bray.’ I literally went to jury duty as Bray Wyatt. I was so immersed in the character that I didn’t break once. Obviously, I didn’t get picked for jury duty, but I had the white pants, Hawaiian shirt, the whole nine yards. There were no fragments of Husky Harris. Husky Harris was dead, and he was to stay dead. I was Bray Wyatt. We were one.”
