I didn't ask for this job, buddy. What I did ask for was FREE shipping on orders over $40 at Warm Belly Bakery, using code SHIP, (expires 11/30).

On Barnburner’s No Holds Barred podcast, Joe Peisich discussed WWE considering something big for The Rock at Wrestlemania. This is what he said:

”You may ask who would The Rock take on? Well, several sources have said that The Rock — if he does have a match could end up being — and this is huge if this does happen… Bobby Lashley.”

They're not doing horrendous on youtube either. They don't have the kind of reach the WWE does by any stretch, but it's not too far off either.

WWE Youtube Views


VS.

IMPACT Youtube Views


Let's not forget what kind of budget the WWE is working with vs. Impact too. Not to mention the fact that the WWE is promoted as a children's television show and can coast off their success in the 80s and 90s a good part of the time while TNA was always fairly obscure in comparison.

I estimated the averages and even with the outlier it wasn't tooooooo far off. Honestly, the argument isn't whether or not IMPACT can or is competing with WWE. They are not. What this shows is that many of their videos fair well with WWE videos posted around time frame for THIS week.

Nobody is arguing that they're making more money or getting more views on average, and I am being a bit hyperbolic, but for what Impact is and how much they have to work with they're generating a fair amount of buzz.

Compare WWE with someone like PewDiePie and you'll see a similar dwarfing.

Although, XL, on second look, I missed some of the 900k view posts from WWE which makes the million view video NOT an outlier.

Comparing their videos to ROH, LU, MLW, and NJPW would probably show more for what me and Noids conversation was about. He didn't believe they were still #2 and its not clear cut anymore but I believe they still are. ROH and New Japan are doing bigger venues and selling them out, they do better than Impact in that aspect but they just went back in the road this year. It's tough to really know what kind of ratings ROH does since they're syndicated but they don't really focus on their TV as much.

ROH is nowhere near Impact in terms of views. I did view count after 5-6 days for WWE and Impact. Here's view count up to ten months for ROH.




And LU doesn't update their Youtube channel nearly as much. Here's their views from now to 4 months.



NJPW average is also low and more comparable to ROH as far as Youtube views anyway. MLW's full shows regularly garner about 80k+ views, but their regular content is hit or miss.

As far as youtube is concerned, Impact is #2 and WWE is #1.

  • PW Insider notes that Lio Rush made the trip to Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel.
  • That site also says WWE has filed a new trademark for “Tough Enough,” leading to speculation the show may make another comeback in some form

Rich begins the match with his trademark dance moves to get the crowd clapping along. Swann starts the action by grabbing a side headlock on Willie Mack until he's reversed and bounced off the ropes. The two exchange a series of reversals, flips, dances, and dropkicks as they bounce from rope to rope. The crowd gives a solid round of applause for the athleticism that both men are showing. Suddenly, Swann delivers a stiff kick to the abdomen of Willie Mack. Mack reverses in to a big shoulder tackle and then backs Swann up in to the turnbuckle. Willie then greets him in the corner with a hard chop and a headlock takeover on to a disoriented Swann. Quick knee strikes are delivered from Mack on to Swann's back. Next, a neckbreaker off the ropes from Mack to Swann.

Rich begins to fight back with abdomen strikes but Willie stays on him with a unique, running, vertical suplex. Close 2 count! Swann counters with some nice chops but Willie returns the favor with a LOUD chop. Ouch! Swann counters Mack in the corner and connects with a sunset flip for a close 2 count. Willie answers with a spinning heel kick. He then perches Rich Swann on to one turnbuckle, climbs atop the turnbuckle on the opposite side of the ring, and connects with an awe-inspiring coast-to-coast. So impressive from Willie Mack!


THIS IS INSANE! @Willie_Mack nails a coast to coast dropkick! #IMPACTonPop pic.twitter.com/EMLihZFNDx

Willie stays on Rich with a diving crossbody to the outside. He drags Swann back inside the ring and Mack delivers an unorthodox facebuster for a 2 & 7/8 count! Mack audibly slaps Swann's chest until Rich finally gets in some reversal kicks, followed up by a rolling leg drop. Rich Swann hits his signature, 450 splash from the 2nd rope but he can't quite put Willie away.

After a reversal in the corner, Rich Swann gets a face full of Willie Mack's backside when he gets cannon balled and crushed on the turnbuckle. Mack follows with a beautiful sequence of a samoan drop, kip up, a standing moonsault, and a very close two count. Rich reverses Mack's stunner and attempts to deliver a cutter to escape. Instead, he STILL gets hit with Mack's stunner. Swann got his foot on the rope for a close 2 count! Willie Mack goes for a six-star frog splash but nobody's home. Swann hits some major kicks to Mack's head and connects with a cutter. Only a 2 count. Rich Swann climbs to the top rope and hits a phoenix splash to finally get the 1-2-3! Great match!
Winner: Rich Swann

Back from commercial break, oVe brags about how they are the only ones to ever defeat Brian Cage and how they plan to bring meaning back to the X-Division Championship. They invite Brian Cage to their turf, Ohio.

The commentators update the viewers on the rest of the card for tonight.

Gamma Singh comes out and introduces Rahj Singh as part of the improved Desi Hit Squad. This prompts a match -

The Desi Hit Squad (Rohit Raju and Rahj Singh) vs. The Beach Bums (TJ Crawford and Freddy IV)

Rohit Raju begins the match against TJ Crawford, quickly taking over with a stiff clothesline and striking TJ while he's down. Raju promptly tags in Singh and they team up, delivering a dropkick and a cannonball to TJ in their team's corner. Freddy IV finally gets a tag in but eats a mouth full of boot for his trouble. Raju then gets tagged in and the Desi Hit Squad team up to deliver more combo strikes. Singh and Raju are obviously controlling the majority of this match. More combination kicks and strikes in the corner on Freddy IV. IV finally gets a few strikes in as he tries to escape but receives a knee to the temple in his attempt and gets squashed, 1-2-3.


The Desi Hit Squad are working like a well-oiled unit. #IMPACTonPop pic.twitter.com/ZmMq1ZBcEG

Winner: The Desi Hit Squad
They air a promo of the OGz walking the streets while King says they're still on top and they're still untouchable.

Back from commercial break, LAX cut a promo about how they're not all about the hippie stuff that Sydal and Page represent. They also touch on what the OGz are up to as Konnan tells Santana and Ortiz to focus on their match tonight.

Video package re-caps Moose and Eddie Edward's tumultuous relationship and builds up the hype for next weeks match at The Final Hour.

We see oVe appearing live as an Ohio crowd enthusiastically chants behind them. An imitation Brian Cage makes his entrance but he's obviously not the real Swolverine. Sami Callihan cuts a promo on the impostor about how he is and always will be superior to Cage. oVe proceeds to beat the fake Cage down and Callihan claims that he's the rightful X-Division Champion.

Back from the commercial, Eli Drake yells in Joseph Park's face about how he plans to sue Impact Wrestling for unsafe working conditions. Park actually likes the idea and expands on it - saying they should create a class action lawsuit with all the wrestlers. Drake calls him a dummy and exits.
Backstage, Scarlett Bordeaux greets Gamma Singh and the Desi Hit Squad. Gamma tries serenading her with a song but Raju pokes fun at him. Scarlett brings up her talent search and implores them to send her a video.

Tessa Blanchard vs. Taya Valkyrie for the Knockouts Championship


The Knockouts Championship is on the line NOW! #IMPACTonPop pic.twitter.com/SAeS2Yrfil

— IMPACT (@IMPACTWRESTLING) November 2, 2018


Tessa shoves Valkyrie in the face, right off the bat. The two women proceed in to a quick exchange of reversals, arm drags, and kicks until Taya connects with double knees to Tessa's back and face. Valkyrie gets Blanchard backed in to the turnbuckle for a stiff kick but Tessa rolls to the outside and reverses a kick from Taya. This brings Taya out to the floor. Tessa goes flying through the ropes with a beautiful topei suicida.

Back from commercial, Tessa has Taya in a brutal looking chicken wing maneuver that has her arms tied behind her back. Valkyrie reverses with elbows to the abdomen and delivers a crossbody off the ropes. Blanchard gets some strikes on Taya and is back in control. Tessa throws Taya face first in to the 2nd rope, does a running kick to Valkyrie's back, and then gets a close 2 count. Blanchard is staying on Taya with a perfectly executed body slam. Tessa goes to the top rope but Taya has it scouted and forearms her in the chest. She follows that up with an Irish whip in to the corner, a back elbow, and a stiff boot to the side of Blanchard's head.

To counter, Homicide comes rushing in with a clothesline and finally gains some control. Homicide contorts and bites the fingers of Pentagon.

Another exchange in the corner has Pentagon coming out on top, kicking the legs out from Homicide and connecting with a brutal double stomp attack. The crowd erupts in "Ole, Ole, Ole" chants.

Vince McMahon reportedly got word that the decision on keeping WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia would be left up to him late in the day on Wednesday, October 24, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Vince then informed people who needed to know that the show was still taking place as scheduled, and then the company officially announced the decision in the third quarter earnings report the next morning.

It sounds like Vince was still determined to keep Crown Jewel in the Kingdom, even if they weren't able to host it this week as planned. The Observer reports that even if Vince was told that he couldn't go and conduct business in the Kingdom, presumably by the United States government, then he was trying to reach an assurance that he would be able to take the company to Saudi Arabia in a few weeks once the controversy surrounding the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi quieted down.

Aries called Impact's wife Taya Valkyrie 'husky', and tensions were high going into the Bound For Glory pay-per-view. In the end, Johnny won the Impact World Championship from Aries, before 'The Greatest Man That Ever Lived' got up, yelled at Don Callis and walked to the back.

As we had earlier reported, Aries's contract with Impact Wrestling has expired, and while the grappler still hasn't signed a new contract with the company, Dave Meltzer, in the most recent Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that the promotion was still high on the performer. Meltzer further noted that he believed Aries would be back in Impact Wrestling soon, and that the Twitter beef between Aries and Impact was indeed a work.

“Oh yeah, I think Piper, to me, was the greatest heel of all time, most likely, I think, now, that being said, in mainstream. I think Fit Finlay was the best heel I’ve ever seen and there was no question about that. Fit Finlay, when he was in Europe, 20-something straight years of the same towns, the same territories, and he was still the top guy when he left. I don’t think people realize how good Fit Finlay was. He was the best heel and probably the best worker I’d ever seen.”

Best heels in WWE today:

“Look, I think Randy Orton, he has obviously been around a long time, but I think Randy Orton can be a terrific heel. I think The Miz can be a terrific heel. Miz enjoys being a heel and I think he’s actually very good at it. People look at him and want to hate him. That’s what you want. Someone mentioned to me at FOX, ‘what a wonderful guy,’ but on air he comes across as a guy, you just want to punch him. That’s what a heel is.”

The 11/1 edition of Impact did 105,000 viewers, up from last week's 98,000 overnight viewers.

Sounds like the changing time slot did some damage.

What exactly were those estimate numbers and who estimated them? Was it Meltzer in 2015?

Meltzer did suggest 350,000 homes in 2015. Brandon Howard did an article on the numbers here:

https://www.voicesofwrestling.com/20...d-njpw-on-axs/

Here's a chart with their estimated viewers:



Basically, when ROH was on Destination America at the same time as TNA, more people did watch TNA, by ROH was also broadcast through it's Sinclair partners. It was being broadcast locally by 85 stations, so through that you can make a guess as to the average number of viewers who watch those stations, and he came up with that number as a low-end guess, which would be in addition to the DA number of 221,000 (with two airings).

Now, TNA continues to go down the drain, but ROH has actually seen an increase in attendance and I believe they are on in more homes now. If you took the TNA decline as an industry standard, then it would be fair to assume that ROH is watched by, like, 30,000 people. But I don't think there is sufficient reason to suspect that is the case. I imagine that ROH is probably is watched, in the United States, by probably as many people that watched it in 2015. I mean, television generally goes down, but they have more channels now. But you can also watch it on apps and on their website (I believe).

But yeah, ROH also have deals in India and Portugal, so they have international stuff on the go too. I'd wager a guess and suggest that more than 100,000 people still watch them.

While Punk "never wants to wrestle again", the Million Dollar man had a point when he said everybody's got a price. If Punk's offered say 5 mil for a show, how could he say no? It'd make him a complete hypocrite (moreso than one could say he already is for the UFC grandstanding) so Destor would be disgusted, but it'd make him a rich hypocrite.

I personally think Punk would accept no less than 10 million dollars for an appearance, of which he is not even close to being worth. He's a big draw to neckbeards, but nobody else gives a flying fuck about him.

I'd rather see Punk go against AJ Styles or Jeff Hardy. I suppose there is time.

The stuff with Colt Cabana and him getting booed at Chicago means he can skip the New Japan/ROH "street cred" appearances. He can come back as a massive hypocrite and milk those easily played fans. It'd be a timing issue at this point. Does he want to come back on The Rock's card to wrestle Shane? Does he have film roles that he would rather milk first?

From this week's Observer


Quote:

HHH:
Generally speaking, after surgery to repair a torn pec, the recovery time is close to six months. John Cena came back in half the time, but he’s not human. HHH’s recovery time from his many injuries has been more normal. Six months puts it past WrestleMania, which was slated to have HHH vs, Batista as one of the top matches.


Lesnar:
Lesnar’s latest short-term contract was to expire with Crown Jewel. Roman Reigns was planned to win the three-way match over Lesnar and Braun Strowman, presumably pinning Lesnar, and Lesnar was to leave for UFC.

In probably the first of several major changes after Vince McMahon found out that Reigns was suffering from leukemia, he backed up the Brinks truck and signed Lesnar to a new deal and made the decision for him to beat Strowman in Saudi Arabia and regain the title. It is believed that deal went down around 10/18. Terms of the deal have been kept secret. What is known is that this is another short-term deal. The deal does go through WrestleMania. How often Lesnar will be working on the new deal is unknown. He will be at Survivor Series facing A.J. Styles. He won’t be at TLC. It is not clear if he will be at Royal Rumble, but given they are doing a stadium show, he will probably be, and he has a planned match at WrestleMania. There is a significant angle that is supposed to be part of his storyline going forward. The deal includes wrestlers other than Strowman. Seth Rollins did mention his name on Raw. Drew McIntyre is clearly being groomed for a top run.

UFC wants him on the 3/2 show in Las Vegas against Daniel Cormier. Is that advisable to work the Rumble in what would be the middle of a training camp? There is a clear risk of an injury, including a concussion, in a UFC fight that would be five weeks before Mania, where his match, just by the fact of his paycheck, would have to be considered one of the biggest events on the show.


Shane:
Unlike with Lesnar, this storyline has been long planned. It was meant to lead to a Shane McMahon heel turn, at least in its original form.


Crown Jewel:
The show drew a sellout of 16,000 fans at King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh. Most tickets were priced at the equivalent of $6.50 U.S. and sold out instantly.


WWE TLC:
WWE informed the SAP Center in San Jose that the main event for the TLC show on 12/16 has been changed from Strowman vs. McIntyre to Strowman vs. Corbin.


ROH:
The subject of ROH was brought up at the third quarter Sinclair investors call. CEO Chris Ripley was asked about spending on the promotion and said, “Beyond tennis, we really haven’t spent significant dollars on content, and Ring of Honor, I think, we bought it for a couple hundred thousand dollars. And we think that’s an unpolished gem that ultimately should be something in the same light as WWE. We actually sold out Madison Square Gardens for an event next year in 11 minutes. So, we know that that brand has potential. It’s just, it hasn’t, we haven’t quite found the right dials to turn yet. But we keep increasing the grass roots support on it and it has just a very very loyal and avid fan base which is what you really need to explode the brand.” That’s very interesting because the key players people bought tickets expecting for that MSG sellout are seemingly playing out their contracts right now and ROH being owned by Sinclair is still in more of a drivers seat with established TV and an established organization and a larger company backing them than New Japan. New Japan are their business partners anyway, and any third party other than WWE. “Being the Elite” seems to indicate those guys are not expecting to end up in WWE next year. If the goal is to grow it like WWE you can’t lose the most over talent and also have to get more aggressive as far as expanding all facets both on the talent and office side

Brad Shepard Podcast Notes


Quote:

Oh, You Didn't Know Podcast

* HBK - more than likely will wrestle one more match, against either Taker or an AJ/DBry type


* HHH - people backstage thing he will do roids to heal in time to face Batista at WM35


* Alexa Bliss - will be put in lots of six-woman tags when she does wrestle due to repeated concussions. WWE is still 'really high' on Bliss.


* Shane - definitely getting a 'headline match' at WrestleMania 35. A lot of people backstage refer to Shane as 'high-maintenance' and roll their eyes when he is around.


* Brock - will wrestle at WrestleMania 35


* Big Show - might be recruited by Vince to teach Nia Jax how to punch, since his finisher is a punch and he's never injured someone with it. Brad does not find Nia attractive.


* WrestleMania 36 - Brad said no site has been chosen but he has heard Minnesota is not likely to get the event. His sources keep telling him Vince wants Florida to host, despite recently hosting WM33, and the cities that keep being mentioned are Miami, Orlando and Tampa. Vince is really big on 'WrestleMania in Florida' right now and has been repeatedly vocal about it during meetings.

Wrestling Observer Notes

Quote:

* Right now the plan is for Ronda Rousey vs. Becky Lynch to headline WrestleMania. After the injury to Lynch on 11/12, the next day, both Vince McMahon and Rousey decided that the best course of action was to do the match at WrestleMania.


* The HHH vs. Batista match is very much in question given HHH’s surgery for a torn pec. Brock Lesnar will be at Mania, and there is a direction in place, but it is not certain whether he’ll be champion or not. Roman Reign's match (which was likely to be against Dean Ambrose or Drew McIntyre) was previously scheduled to headline WrestleMania. With Roman out Vince is putting more faith into Ronda as a marquee attraction.


* The most dangerous and most reckless move on Raw was not Nia Jax accidentally potato'ing Lynch but both of Lesnar’s German suplexes on Sunil Singh. Singh somehow didn’t get hurt badly on either. Dave says talent have expressed frustration that Lesnar is pretty much bullet proof and if he does hurt someone Vince won't bat an eye over it.


* The Daniel Bryan in turn was in part a request from Bryan.


* WWE was thinking about a Daniel Bryan vs. Shane McMahon match at WrestleMania but Meltzer has heard that is no longer the plan.


* Dave was told at one point after Lesnar won the title that Strowman was a direction but not the big direction and something else would be happening at WrestleMania for Brock. Meltzer said Brock vs Braun is likely to happen at the Royal Rumble, but WWE might change their minds and do the match somewhere else.


* Shane McMahon almost bought UFC in the late 90s but Vince cancelled the deal.


* New Japan - There are a lot of changes going on. Since last week, the situation with AXS has changed again. Jim Ross and Josh Barnett will be gone after the next set of tapings. Barnett is at this point out for good. The situation with Ross isn’t clear but based on tweets by both Ross and Adam Swift of AXS, where Swift thanked Ross, it looks like he won’t be returning in April.


* Cody Rhodes wants to work more dates w/ New Japan in 2019. He hasn't re-signed with ROH and Dave speculates Cody will sign exclusively with NJPW soon and doesn't expect him in WWE.


* The new management in NJPW might forbid talent from working elsewhere, which would mean Omega, Young Bucks, etc would no longer be able to work indies in the U.S. market. Dave thinks a story could be developing here.


* Kenny Omega vs. Fenix, a battle of the IWGP champion and the AAA heavyweight champion, on 11/9 in Poughkeepsie topped a $100,000 gate with 2,700 fans at the Mid Hudson Civic Center.


* With the news that Taka Michinoku has had an affair for the past eight years going public, K-Dojo, his own promotion, announced that he was removed from the Board of Directors and would be forced to work without pay for one year.


* Major League Wrestling set its record for attendance on 11/8 in Chicago at Cicero Stadium. Dave never got a number but said it was a sellout and the biggest gate in MLW history.


* Dalip Singh (The Great Khali) and his Continental Wrestling Entertainment group has drawn crowds of 30,000 to 50,000 at shows in India. Usually the shows let people in for free and get sponsors to pay the costs.


* NWA Champion Nick Aldis will defend the title against Billy Gunn in an upcoming show in Puerto Rico.


* IMPACT - The TV contract with Pop TV ends on 12/31, but Impact will still by on Pop at least in early 2019. There was still an Arolucha commercial that played during Impact saying Arolucha was coming in 2019 but again not specifying where.


* NXT U.K. will be a part of WrestleMania weekend.

Damn, Taka Michinoku is paying out the ass for that one. They must take that stuff pretty seriously in Japan.

It'll be interesting to see if TNA gets to keep their TV deal and whether or not anyone else will take them.
