The big news, and this is attributable to Amore, is that the third hour, at 2.71 million viewers, didn't drop nearly as much as expected and was ahead of the last few weeks. The third hour was promoted with Amore vs. Kalisto for the Cruiserweight title, which Kalisto won in an impromptu decision, as the focal point ...

The key to the third hour was the much lower level of women tuning out than has been usual for the show, and a big increase in teenage boys from hour two to three to almost compensate for the loss of the over-50 audience, WWE's largest viewing audience, which fell nine percent from hour two to hour three.

The three hours were:

8 p.m. 3.01 million viewers
9 p.m. 2.89 million viewers
10 p.m. 2.71 million viewers
Somehow Enzo being in the main event for 3 weeks straight has lead to the 3rd hour doing better than the previous week. Not even Reigns had this type of consistency for the 3rd hour.

Then, the decision was made to have a Five Way instead and hold it this week so the company could better promote Asuka's debut on the go-home show.

As we reported last night, the original plan to headline the show was for Neville challenging Enzo Amore, but that was changed to Kalisto instead.

In addition, there will be other Canadian independent content including Border City Wrestling, the promotion run by Scott D'Amore.

The company announced the service would debut with 1,000 hours of content at GlobalWrestlingNetwork.com. There is a 30-day free trial available and the price point after that is $7.99 per month

The service will be available on iOS and Android platforms and they state it will be coming soon to Roku, Xbox, Amazon Fire TV, and Apple TV.

The service will also include the weekly episodes of Impact after they first air on television in the United States, Canada, and the UK, as well as episodes of Xplosion and weekly digital content produced for the service.
Small warning to those interested since the service itself might still be vulnerable with handling personal info.

Ibushi defeated Tanahashi in this summer's G1 Climax to set up him challenging for the title at Power Struggle.

Will Ospreay's first defense of the IWGP Junior Heavyweight title will be at Power Struggle as he faces a familiar rival in Marty Scurll, with Toru Yano set to challenge Minoru Suzuki for the NEVER Openweight Championship at the show as well. Both of those title matches were set up at KOPW.

NJPW has yet to reveal the full lineup for Power Struggle, but it will also feature the finals of this year's Super Junior Tag Team Tournament. KUSHIDA & Hirai Kawato, Sho & Yoh, Dragon Lee & Titan, Hiromu Takahashi & BUSHI, Jushin Thunder Liger & Tiger Mask IV, Yoshinobu Kanemaru & El Desperado, Ryusuke Taguchi & ACH, and Taka Michinoku & Taichi will be the teams in the tournament.

In case you missed it, Kalisto was given the spot instead and won the Cruiserweight title.

While our sources haven’t been able to confirm this information officially, an account using the handle @WrestleVotes tweeted today saying Neville quit and most people we’ve spoken with say there does appear to be some truth in that claim.

It’s worth noting that not all wrestlers who ask for a release are immediately granted their request.

Some other sheet news includes:
  • Sports Illustrated had a recent report about the making of Ric Flair's 30 For 30 Film. https://www.si.com/tech-media/2017/1...30-documentary
  • Both Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas are rumored to be dealing with unknown issues at the moment, according to the Wrestling Observer.
  • Jim Cornette and Santino Marella ended up getting into an altercation at convention event in Michigan over the weekend. Cornette also currently dealing with backlash regarding pulling out his wiener in front of a crowd during a live Bruce Pritchard show in Detroit.
  • For those interested, PWG's Battle of Los Angeles 2017 tournament is currently available for purchase on DVD and Blu-Ray at website Highspots.com.
  • Website Pop Culture had a recent interview with Jim Ross talking about if WWE should make changes to Reigns' push as the next mega-star and which floundering star on RAW will be the next to get a title push. http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/...n-reigns-push/
  • Both Aiden English and Vickie Guerrero recently celebrated the memory of Eddie Guerrero on what would have been his 50th birthday yesterday.

So after doing some quick reading, turns out GFW legit didn't bother to fix the vulnerability from the first time their Network-like service briefly launched. Until a few hours ago, anyone who put in payment details had their personal info exposed due to the payment system not being secure.

Checked it out. Didn't sign up for anything and only downloaded the app. Has a bunch of Border City Wrestling episodes and a few other Indy promotions. Without signing up though only thing I could watch was Impact recaps and Xplosion episodes.

Jacobs captioned the photo with, "Pleasant surprise to see old friends in lovely California. #BCInvasion #RAW #youngbucks #bulletclub #villian #hangmanpage #WWE"

Several WWE wrestlers had actually appeared on Being the Elite in recent times, including Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and AJ Styles making cameo appearances on an episode that was released in August, but the situation clearly changed when the reaction to the mock invasion wasn't taken well by WWE.

"A lot of folks get angry at today's commentators, but it's how they're produced. It's their skill-set, a lot of them, and it's what is asked of them to perform and to do ... the demands on today's wrestling broadcasters are extensive. The job description of that role has evolved and changed over the years. People can hear, and they can certainly tell that.

"It's changed a lot, and that's due to the fact that there are a lot of producers who are dictating what the product sounds like on the air. It's a different mindset, they were raised differently. They have different values and they perceive things [differently]."

Lol, that Santino statement is hilarious.

"His overall contribution to the industry has been quite damaging and by no means, is he an authority. He was merely tolerated and permitted, by real men, to be around the business during one of the best eras in history. Hey don’t get me wrong I’m not an authority either but I’ve been around great men in this business that truly are and trust me he is NOT on that list."

Followed up with:

"I was not opposed to learning from him, in fact I regret not being able to"

Which one is it?

"Put it this way, when I grow up I wanna be like Vince, but if I ever end up like you, I will consider my life a failure."

"He sh**s on the comedic component and my in ring ability but duh I’m from OVW so he’s actually sh**ting on himself and the company that he partly owns. He’s also sh**ing on his “friends” Rip, Danny, and Al, that all had a hand in my development and training, plus I can list off many great and iconic comedic wrestlers, 1st and foremost however is the late great Bobby Heenan."

That's just the precursor stuff before his account of events, which don't seem to match what you see in the video at all, or include the part about him accusing Jim Cornette of rape.

Mustafa Ali worked the Raw house shows, wrestling Enzo Amore, replacing Neville, who was originally slated for those shows.

*The original plan for Raw was Neville vs. Enzo Amore, but that was changed late in the day when it became known Neville would not be at the taping (possibly when everyone was made aware he wasn't going to be there, because there was discussion of making it a non-title match after it was noted Neville technically could "not have" a title shot vs. Enzo), the decision was made to go with Kalisto and put the belt on him as a way to tie him to the legacy of Eddie Guerrero, as it was Guerrero's birthday and he legitimately helped inspire Kalisto to get into professional wrestling.

*According to two different sources, Neville has pushed for a release with the idea of leaving the company and building his name outside of it, similar to what Drew McIntyre did prior to his return to NXT. Obviously, New Japan would be thrilled to have him back and he'd make a killing on the independent and international scene.

*We have been told there were several factors Neville was unhappy with. One source claimed a souring point was being left off of the Wrestlemania 33 DVD, which meant no royalties from what is traditionally the biggest selling WWE DVD of the year.

*Neville is still under contract to the company and has not been released. It is entirely possible the two sides will come to terms and he will return to the company, but as of right now, we are told he is not factored in any of the current plans for the Cruiserweight division or any other WWE brand and is not slated to travel to any house shows.

The amended lawsuit, seeking $1.2 million in damages, now lists World Wrestling Entertainment as a defendant. The original lawsuit listed only Bullard and 1-300 "John Does" as the defendants.

In the suit, Anderson alleges he was placed into an unsafe environment and was physically attacked by Bullard while filming content for Swerved, WWE Network's Jackass-inspired reality series. The incident in question that Anderson was filming saw WWE talent Paige shocking Bullard with an electric shock stick. The complaint alleges that Bullard became enraged and went after Anderson, kicking his camera out of his hand, leading to injuries on his hand, wrist and fingers to the point he could not work. Anderson also claims in the suit that he was instructed to leave the scene out of fear that O'Neil might go after him again and was "whisked" from the scene.

In an email to talent today, Gabe Sapolsky noted the company are mulling over different possibilities for how they will stream their events going forward, but made it clear that WWE Network was not one of the current options, noting he wanted to kill any rumors.

As we noted earlier, the company would be dark for November, so this weekend's events in Queens, NY and East Haddam, Connecticut will be the final EVOLVE events until December with SHINE as the final WWNLive event overall until December. As we noted previously here on PWInsider.com, WWN will be cutting back on events as they had expended to five events a month as part of their deal with Flosports. Financially, there's no way WWNLive cannot be hurting, especially given they claim they are owed months of payments from Flosports.

The difference is those talents are stars, while Jacobs was "just" a writer and there is a culture behind the scenes where if you are seen as trying to get yourself over, when that isn't your role, it backfires on you, even if that wasn't what you were trying to do. I have had a number of WWE sources swear to me that a major reason Brooklyn Brawler was let go after decades of service to the company was his social media usage and other things that put him in the sights of the wrong people in the company who didn't like it, because "that wasn't his role ...

However, there was also a feeling from WWE sources that by going outside during an active TV taping when he was supposed to be working as a writer,Jacobs was seen as "ignoring his job" to get himself and his friends over. One WWE source believed that the while the photo was being used as the reason to fire Jacobs, it wasn't the only issue, noting that he had taken some time off to deal with a personal issue before returning to work this past summer, and that may have put a target on his back.

"Our audience tells us what they love, what they don't like and worse, what they don't care about. And you have to be listening, and in WWE, yes, we do, we pivot on the fly," McMahon said. "It's an advantage that we're live. We do set our storylines out a year in advance, WrestleMania being our Super Bowl and then we program backwards, but things happen. The audience might not be invested in a character that we think they will be invested in for whatever reason. There could be an injury that happens, because we really are an incredible athletic event as well. Anything can happen, so that ability to pivot and twist is really important."

As noted, El Rey will pay something for programming, but not nearly enough to produce the show at close to the level it as been done at. El Rey and Robert Rodriguez would maintain having an ownership stake if it moves to a new station. The obvious issue is what television station would want a show with a budget of $400,000 per episode that draws 100,000 to 175,000 viewers weekly over two airings, and more importantly, where viewership generally has been down this season and not up, and overall buzz is way down. According to one person close to most of the parties involved, there is a major divide among the management team. On one side, they want to shut the project down, arguing that the costs are too high and after three seasons they’ve never made any money. The feeling on that side is that you know where you stand, the audience isn’t growing, and anything more would be throwing good money after bad. Two key executives are of that belief. On the other side is Eric Van Wagenen, Dorian Roldan and Vampiro, who all believe in the project and feel it just needs time and better exposure to watch on. Alex Garcia and Antonio Cue-Navarro, who put up the money for the last two seasons, have refused to put more money into the project. Right now it appears that unless they can find new funding, or get a new TV station to pay the costs, the choice is to stay on El Rey for a heavily stripped down version or to close it down.

No, you couldn't. You couldn't nourish all the deer in the world with the people who give a shit about The Young Bucks. And the people who complain about The Young Bucks are on the fringes of that.

It's nice to see marks back, but it's just a shame they're backing a team that will never get over.

As noted earlier today, it appears that Mahal may still be champion when WWE tours India in December as he's scheduled to defend his title against Kevin Owens at those two shows.

Mahal defending against a heel would seem to indicate that he'll be presented as a complete babyface in the country.

The shows will take place at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi on December 8th and 9th. Mahal, the Singh Brothers, and Owens will be appearing at them despite it being a Raw-branded tour. Others who have been advertised for the events are Roman Reigns, Finn Balor, Braun Strowman, Alexa Bliss, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, The Miz, Sasha Banks, and Bayley.

Other names spotted recently at the PC include Serena Deeb and Austin Aries.

Omega talked about how shocked he was at the reception he got tonight. He said he was only suppose to work the Global Wars tour show in Chicago, but supply and demand takes precedence and he goes where he's needed and wanted. Matt Jackson took the mic and mentioned the Bullet Club "invasion" of Raw to a huge pop. He talked about having the freedom to do what he wants and said he won’t get fired for taking a selfie with a friend or fan.

Matt mentioned how we help feed their families before Nick interrupted to say that they'll see their families on Christmas, referencing WWE having Raw live on Christmas this year. That drew a huge "F*ck Vince" chant. Matt said Vince McMahon takes fun away from fans and told the fans to tell Vince what we think -- with the entire audience giving a Too Sweet.

Omega quoted the movie "Braveheart" about never taking away their freedom, then he said goodbye and goodnight to the audience. The Bullet Club's music played and they jumped into the crowd to end the show.

So this is the story regarding his contract. Lesnar last dates for wrestling on his current deal would be the upcoming WrestleMania, or perhaps television the next day, but April. There is an option built into the contract that would renew, and most expect that it will be renewed, given that Lesnar will be 41 next summer and that’s simply not the age you sign a three-year contract and turn your back on WWE. And Lesnar’s programs with Goldberg, Joe and Strowman jump started the main event scene at two different times that ratings were in the toilet and things were kind of blah. WWE does have certain rights to Lesnar that, if a new deal isn’t signed, will go through the first week of August. The entire dynamic has changed in the sense the Jon Jones fight would have been so lucrative that Lesnar would have let his contract expire, signed with fight Jones, and then, after the fight, probably returned to WWE. But that fight is off, and unless Jones gets a one-year suspension out of all this, it will probably never happen. The feeling across the board right now is that Jones vs. Lesnar will never happen. If Lesnar does want to do another UFC fight, if they wait until August, that would be the cleanest way to do so in the sense WWE would have no rights to him. One thing is that Lesnar evidently felt the deal last year, where he wrestled through Mania and fought in early July, left him too little time to get into top shape. It worked out because he won, but he would rather have a four month window as far as getting back into that kind of shape before a training camp, so if he did want to fight next year and the opportunity came up, he really wouldn’t want to do so until August anyway, so that explains why White said that date. Plus, those inside say that even though WWE is repped by WME IMG, the owners of UFC, that things aren’t smooth. White has said he has a good business relationship with HHH, but it’s more difficult with Vince.

Some other sheet news includes:
  • Based on fan reports, The Young Bucks debuted a new chant and hand sign during ROH Global Wars: Buffalo show called the "One Sweet." Its pretty much just making the number one sign with your finger.
  • WWE recently added a new collection series to the WWE Network called "New to the Network" which is basically curated new programmed added each week to the Network.
  • Sports Illustrated had a recent interview with Joey Ryan talking about how much money he makes in the WWE, if his character could even work in PG Era WWE, and his status in Lucha Underground. http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/...racter-in-wwe/
  • Facebook recently held an interview with Triple H talking about if he will wrestle again, his relationship with The Rock, and possible plans for a match against The Rock in the future. http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/...-wrestlemania/

It's good that she finally has her own merchandise, but I can't help but think that it's just about three years too late.

If this was on sale when Fox was at the height of her crazy gimmick, then I'm sure it would have sold quite well and we probably could have had more of the crazy Alicia Fox.

Now, she's not that crazy these days. Nowhere near as crazy as she was back in 2014.

And again, I can't help but think that this T-shirt won't really sell well for two reasons.

1. It's not even listed on the "New Arrivals" section of WWEShop.
2. To someone who doesn't watch wrestling, the design would insinuate that the wearer is a furry.

If we're only counting the wrestlers who have never left since debuting, then Natalya is actually the longest serving female wrestler but only just.

She debuted in April 2008 and Alicia Fox debuted in June 2008 and both have been with the company since.

Our sources were unable to confirm if she left the show angrily … however, we’re told Jax HAS been granted a leave of absence for personal reasons by management. It’s unclear how long she’ll be gone or what spawned her decision.

We’re told filming for Total Divas is complete, so this likely won’t affect her role on the show.

Wouldn't Kane be going after Roman Reigns because he retired The Undertaker? If The Undertaker comes back to defend him, then why would Kane fight him? It makes no sense. Therefore it goes up in likelihood.

So Enzo was helping the 3rd hour ratings whereas Roman hurt them? Listening to the SCG Radio podcasts on the timeline, it's incredible to look back and see how much information WCW had in 1999. Things were going well in 1998, but they were getting feedback from the ratings where certain acts were scoring lower than the average rating for the show. It's obviously not that dramatic, but the 3rd hour doing well under Enzo but not under Reigns makes a very clear statement that is going to be very frustrating in retrospect.

PWInsider.com can confirm, however, that Jax was not at this week's Raw taping, although she was originally slated to be there. One source believed that the original plans for Sasha Banks going into the TLC PPV was for her to face Jax, not Alicia Fox.

Since Jax was not at Raw, the idea she "walked out" of the taping cannot be true.

PWInsider.com can also confirm that Jax is no longer scheduled to film material for the new season of Total Divas this week in New York City. She had been slated to film content tomorrow and Friday, one source close to the production of the reality series has told us. So, Jax is absolutely off the road for dates that she was originally slated to work for the company - but the root cause of that, whether that be approved time off or something else, remains to be seen.
Quote:
On Wednesday’s Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez and Mike Sempervive discussed the Nia Jax rumors. It’s an odd story because no one has officially confirmed anything, other than a denial from WWE about her leaving. There’s also the story from Pro Wrestling Sheet with a source telling them that she took a leave of absence.

Alvarez said, “According to WWE, Nia Jax has not gone and she never left. That’s what they say. She was not at Raw on Monday so she didn’t walk out – that’s for sure.”

“I know that Nia Jax has been unhappy about things. I was told that Nia wanted the match with Asuka at the [TLC] pay-per-view and she’s not getting it. God bless her, I’ve seen that match live [and] I don’t want to see it at the pay-per-view. There were some other things that she was unhappy about.” To me, the fact that Emma got the match should not be taken as a slight to Jax because it’s likely that Asuka will get a squash win at TLC. Jax should be someone saved as a future (and more credible) opponent. Alvarez later added, “Something’s going on but I don’t know what it is. WWE claims there’s nothing going on. But things are going on but I don’t know what’s going on. Does that make sense?”
Quote:
Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso reported that she is unhappy with her creative and pay scale. We noted earlier that she has leverage due to her family link with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson so there are options for her, namely with The Rock’s 7 Bucks Entertainment. Eva Marie is signed with 7 Bucks and the same company has been working on a movie about Paige’s family.

When Jax returns to WWE, the betting line is that she’ll probably have a bigger paycheck.

It appears Neville's decision may be influenced in-part by Austin Aries, who left the company on amicable terms earlier this year. The SI report notes that Neville learned Aries would be making more in the next six weeks on the indies than Neville would in the same timeframe while with WWE. We noted before that Neville had pushed for his WWE release with the idea of working the indies and making a name for himself there.

Regarding his match being left off the WrestleMania 33 DVD, not only was Neville upset about missing out on the pay but he was said to be "infuriated" that the company "would disregard his service and value" after being as dedicated as he was. Neville reportedly felt that he was viewed as "nothing more than a very talented 'get-over guy' used to enhance" other Superstars

The idea of doing a Universal Champion vs. WWE Champion match for Survivor Series has been discussed for a long time, according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The current mentality within WWE is that this is not considered a major match. There's also the idea that this will just be something for Lesnar to do on a big show, to build to bigger matches for him. It's likely that Finn Balor will be Lesnar's opponent for the Royal Rumble in January and then the plan has been for Lesnar to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 34.

No word yet on the finish for The Beast vs. The Modern Day Maharaja but The Observer notes that Lesnar losing to Jinder makes no sense due to his recent wins over Bill Goldberg, Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman. A loss by Jinder makes SmackDown feel more like the B show. A finish with outside interference for a DQ or No Contest is always possible but finishes like that at major shows usually don't sit well with fans.

The likely reason for Michaels being added to the show is because Ring of Honor has a show in San Antonio head-to-head that night.

Originally McIntyre vs. Cole was to headline the TakeOver show in Houston until the decision was made to revive the War Games concept.

Omega is the second wrestler to be announced for Supercard of Honor 2018, joining Hiroshi Tanahashi. ROH has yet to reveal any details about the matches they'll be taking part in.

With both Omega and Tanahashi announced, it means NJPW isn't running a major date at that time, and also means that much of the New Japan talent will likely be available. Normally NJPW runs a major show at Sumo Hall in Tokyo on that weekend, and thus, the New Japan stars haven't been available to ROH for its annual Mania events.
Seems the plan by ROH is to break their all-time record for attendance which was set at last year's Mania week show. Link to the announcement: http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/bre...card-honor-xii

The current title for the series, we are told, is WWE King of The Ring. Obviously, that is a repurposing of the title of a tournament that has been around since the late 1980s, initially as an annual special event in the Boston market before graduating into its own PPV event in 1993. The King of the Ring PPV was halted in 2006 but was brought back from time to time as an attraction used to elevate talents to the next level. It was last used in 2015 with Bad News Barrett winning the tournament.

PWInsider.com has also been told that one of the broadcasters WWE is pitching is ITV, which is interesting on a number of levels.

When it came out that it wasn’t a lot of speculation was on Samoa Joe, who is ready to return any time now. His return angle was strong and with all the gimmicks and all the people involved, it should be a wild match. But it’s very much a one-match show.

But nobody, including WWE, is testing that and offering deals to those guys until they get releases because nobody wants the legal problem. If the show isn’t renewed, there is a lot of good talent on the free agent market and even though WWE is making money and ROH and New Japan have both grown, the latter two already are overloaded with talent, and while I could see ROH making a play for guys like Penta 0M and Fenix, or perhaps others, there’s a finite number of people they can probably add. WWE can add as many as they want, but WWE is cutting back on spending to get their profit margins up and it’s not that there is a hiring freeze (although that term has been given to me when it comes to some departments), but they are very judicious in who they sign and most of the offers are not big money offers.

The in-ring reunion of The Shield, which the PPV was heavily built around in the weeks leading up to the show, will now be delayed until some point after TLC.

SmackDown's AJ Styles will fill in for Wyatt in his match against Finn Balor, which means that the two former leaders of the Bullet Club will be facing off for the first time on short notice. Wyatt, his brother Bo Dallas, and Jojo have been off of TV, with Dallas having an undisclosed illness.

WWE's tour of Europe will kick off in Glasgow, Scotland on November 1st.

Jax is just resting up since she wasn't figured into any major storylines, but according to those close to her, stories that she stormed off at Raw (she wasn't even at Raw to begin with), asked for a leave of absence, or is unhappy with her pay are all untrue.

There have been two concepts floating around over the last several weeks:

The first would be a reality series similar to Total Bellas, but focused on the Miz and Maryse. The potential series, we are told, would focus on their in-ring exploits as well as their personal lives and adventures as a married couple in Hollywood. With the couple expecting their first child, one would think that could be one of the hooks that drive the series as the Hollywood night life is far removed from being first-time parents, We are told the concept for the series is that it would also feature the couple's best friends from real life, including WWE star Dolph Ziggler.

The second discussed series would be something of an amalgamation of the old Tough Enough series, the old Diva Searches and the competition era of the WWE NXT brand. The concept would "seek out" a new female WWE star. We are told the idea that has been passed around would be that the series places its competitors on the road with WWE as they all travel together via tour bus. There would be weekly competitions that would lead to eliminations before one final winner is crowned, earning a WWE contract. WWE has been looking to revive the Diva Search idea for some time but has yet to actually do so, so this may just be the latest effort in that attempt.

WWE Champion Jinder Mahal vs. WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar is set to take place but there's no word yet on other blue vs. red matches.

The WWF did test seriously from 1992 to 1996, and during that period, things got a lot better. But for a combination of financial reasons, and competition reasons, they dropped the program. WCW tested, but everyone involved would acknowledge the WCW testing was a farce and during the early stages of the wrestling war, a generally older WCW main event roster was more physically impressive than a younger WWF roster. At one point Vince McMahon got so mad about it they ran skits accusing Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage of being on steroids, and at another point challenged WCW to do the same level of testing they were doing. When WCW started gaining in popularity, McMahon made the call to drop the testing. The death rate of wrestlers in the late 90s, and this cut across WWF, WCW and ECW, and all were bad, on a percentage basis there wasn’t much difference, was horrible. It was not the same in Japan and Mexico.

Earlier this month, Alicia Fox did an interview where she mentioned being one of the only women in WWE without any merchandise. Today that changed, as she now has a "Crazy like a fox" T-shirt on WWE Shop. On her Instagram, Fox gave thanks for the new merchandise.
