so raw could be the show with a male and a female champ that never show up after mania, an a 3 hour show to fill.

I really don’t think Ronda will be retaining. I see either Becky winning or Charlotte taking it so Becky can chase.

It’s been reported that Charlotte was promised the main event this year. What if she was also promised to be the one that goes over Ronda? I can see Shayna showing up, taking out Becky, then getting in the ring with Charlotte and Ronda...before turning on Ronda and helping Charlotte walk out a double champion.

The rest of their booking has been very Russo-esque lately...

I’m laughing imagining them still do the dumb babyface “hug it out” ending even in a Charlotte win.

Stephanie leads out the women’s roster. Everybody hugs. The announcers gush about how it’s the most revolutionary moment ever. The women’s roster carries Charlotte on their shoulders while she holds up both belts amid a stream of balloons and confetti.

And all of this happening while the crowd just boos the shit out of it. I’d laugh my fucking ass off at that point. And I could easily see WWE being tone deaf enough to do this.

I want WWE to overbook the hell out of the main event since it's no dq. Conor Mcgreggor out for Becky gets into a fight with Rondas husband. Ric Flair comes out to just go woo and try and kiss Becky Lynch .again (hot man on man action, oh my! Stephanie comes out to slap someone. Renee young snaps and turns into a badass submission machine so they can write her out of commentary. Etc..

According to the Observer and Post Wrestling, final tally for Mania's card will be 17 matches unless the Cena match doesn't take place.

RAW tag title got added due to Smackdown Women's title match being dropped and Smackdown tag title is planned to be a multi-team one.

Also the RAW tag title match at tomorrow's RAW supposedly is only being done to write Black & Ricochet out of that title feud since it seems they are penciled in for the Smackdown tag title match at Mania.

We don't know who the teams will be, but do know that in an internal lineup before the changes that were made this past Tuesday, it was a four-team match with Usos, Black & Ricochet, Big E & Xavier Woods and Sheamus & Cesaro. However, on house shows this weekend, which one would think would be getting guys comfortable, you had Rusev & Nakamura in with the Usos and Bar. Rusev & Nakamura haven't been announced for the Battle Royal, nor have Black & Ricochet. With Black & Ricochet having two non-title wins over The Revival, they would make the most sense for Sunday, except we're told that is not happening now.

So Black & Ricochet lose in a title match and then automatically get another? It’ll be Usos vs. Nakamura & Rusev vs. The Bar vs. Xavier Woods & Big E.

None of the booking for this Mania has made any sense.

I can't say there is a single match I am hyped about.

I'd assume Ru Ru & Nak were only filling in for Black & Ricochet since they probably got sent with the RAW crew to get ready for their RAW tag title match.

Only other option is to put Black & Ricochet in the Andre Battle Royal but that seems very counter-productive considering the showcase treatment they've been getting since their main roster debut.

For some reason I have a feeling Woods and E won't be wrestling. They'll appear during Bryan/Kofi in some capacity.

Usos/Bar/RuNak/RicoBlack

Or if they push Ricochet/Black to the Raw side, you can pull the Hardys out of the battle royal and make them the 4th team. They didn't announce Sanity, the Colons, or Hawkins/Ryder for the battle royal but I imagine they'll be thrown in to push it to 35 or so people in the match.

If RicoBlack aren't facing the Revival, the only Raw team not yet announced for anything is Hawkins and Ryder. I don't know how you suddenly grant them a title match out of the blue when they've won nothing, but that's WWE for you.

If Hawkins' losing streak has to end, it happening in the first hour of the pre-show in front of a nearly empty stadium seems very appropriate.

Another told us they watched, and enjoyed the segment and considered it informative, but said that the people who helped him research the piece probably should have let him know about Roman Reigns' condition before delivering a now-controversial joke about him. Outside of that, the long-time talent said it was a "home run."

Set for release April 2, 2019, “350 Days” is now available for pre-order on iTunes (https://apple.co/2IkUzLn), as well as on BluRay and DVD at Walmart.com, Amazon.com and other online retail sites. Release dates for additional streaming platforms will be announced soon.

This compelling documentary chronicles their struggles to survive the chaos of 1980s era wrestling. Living a rock and roll lifestyle, they faced nightly temptations, battled their vices, and were absentee parents and spouses while chasing dreams of fame and fortune.

In their own words, with the cutting insight and sharp wit one would expect from such legendary icons including Bret “Hitman” Hart, “Superstar” Billy Graham, “Million Dollar Man” Ted Dibiase, Greg “The Hammer” Valentine, JJ Dillon, Tito Santana, Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka, George “The Animal” Steele, Abdullah The Butcher, Wendi Richter, Lex Luger, Paul “Mr. Wonderful” Orndorff, Marty Jannetty, Lanny Poffo, “The Masked Superstar” Bill Eadie and Ox Baker, these gentle giants tell their harrowing (yet often darkly humorous) tales as marriages dissolve and relationships with their children are strained, sometimes permanently.

There is a plan in place for someone to "shut Elias up" during his performance at WrestleMania 35, according to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio. There's no word yet on who may work the angle with Elias, but everyone from John Cena to The Undertaker to Bray Wyatt are being rumored.

WWE can reportedly gain upwards of $50,000,000 a year from FOX if this is the route they ultimately choose to take. It is by no means a done deal at this point, but the momentum backstage apparently has people within the financial community expecting this aspect of the deal to come together.

Seth Rollins ended up coming out on top last night, but the original Raw script called for Brock Lesnar to go over on Rollins. Vince McMahon decided to flip things around and Rollins gave Lesnar two low blows and laid him out with The Stomp.

I said it didn't look like it. There was one day in June I thought I could, but I can't. If it's baseball season and it's a home series, I can get somebody to sub for me. When football starts, Friday and Saturday are taken out. Basketball season -- Fridays and Saturdays are out. I'm, under contract to them, but I don't see where I'm going to be able to do anything with them until 2020 at the earliest. I really enjoy the guys and the kids and really had fun doing it," said Schiavone.

The Legacy Wing was launched in 2016 to honor wrestlers from the early years of professional wrestling. The inductees are usually honored posthumously with a video package at the annual induction ceremony.

SmackDown currently tours from Saturday through Tuesday, while RAW tours from Friday to Monday with both tours ending with their respective television tapings.

WWE didn’t schedule any shows from April 30 until May 5 because of the originally planned Saudi trip, so wrestlers will now likely have that time off unless WWE immediately books new house shows and arenas with such short notice.

Quick notes:
* Observer Newsletter got released a day earlier than usual due to Mania Week and Meltzer traveling to New York and New Jersey for shows.
* Probably not going to post any more sheets reports for the week since I'll be busy watching wrestling shows around the same time I normally do this stuff on Thursday and Friday.

Yeah! John Pollock of Post Wrestling reached out to someone in the company and they confirmed the finish. That being said, they did not intend for it to be controversial and the commentators jumping on it didn't help. It might've also taken away from the "moment".

The fan who was struck with the ladder at G1 Supercard met with several wrestlers, including Matt Taven and Kazuchika Okada and was given some merchandise before leaving MSG that night. We are told the ladder hit his knee but he's OK.

Former ROH stars Julius Smokes and Sal Rinauro were at G1 Supercard.

Kevin Eck and Joey Matthews have been more involved in working with the creative team of late, joining Delirious, Todd Sinclair and Bully Ray.

"He just said he was so proud of us," Lynch said. "He was so proud of us. He did [give us a hug]. He did, yep, but I said, 'I'm The Man now, Vince' and he said, 'Yep!"

I don’t like Eli Drake, but if you fire the guy, fire him. I’m not usually someone who cries “work,” because I often wonder what the point of this stuff is, but if this is some sort of lame publicity stunt by TNA like they did with Aries and Morrison, shame on them.

If they were intent to switch the Women’s Tag belts, I’d have preferred they did it with Nattie & Beth. I like the idea of them eventually turning heel and joining Charlotte. But give them a face run first. Would have been nice for Nattie and Beth, and would be kind of eerie if Kofi took a photo with himself, Beth Phoenix and Zack Ryder harkening back to that 2011 photo after TLC.

Should have been a straight tag too. Without turning heel, it should have been the veteran girls making the point that the Women’s Revolution didn’t start in 2015, and they were busting ass years previous.

I used to like to think that Backlash got its name because it was the backlash from the major show. I guess not. But there is a joke in Backlash following the Saudi show.

God, I wish they would stop TLC and HIAC as PPVs.

I hope there are AEW chants in Chicago at the first domestic show after their supposed TV launch.

Nothing against The Iiconics but Sasha and Bailey should have retained. Those titles need a good long reign to establish credibility.

Observer stated that Sasha Banks was under the impression that she and Bayley would have the opportunity to have a strong run with the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles in an effort to establish them as serious championships.

It was reported that Banks was given a few weeks to think things over before making what the company figured was a rash decision, but Fightful's sources throughout the week had compared it to The Revival ... We were told that Bayley was also clearly frustrated by the entire situation.

Both sources within the company that Fightful spoke to said they'd be surprised if Banks was granted a release.

In addition, there was also talk of Alexa Bliss gaining the upper hand on both Banks and Bayley physically on Raw, which has been reported throughout the week. We're not told if this was just to be a physical altercation or an actual match, but Banks and Bliss ended up going back and forth on social media on Tuesday.
More on Banks wanting out of WWE.

What did happen, according to a source who was backstage during the main event, was that time was cut from the bout. Since the finishing sequence was to focus on New Day beating the Bar, there was no time to explain taking Drew out of the equation. So, Drew was instructed to return to the back.

2:05 PM Update: Earlier I wrote, "One might wonder why they even booked McIntyre in the bout to begin with then, but we don't have any answer for that." Well, now we do. The original pitched main event for Smackdown this past Tuesday at WWE Champion Kofi Kingston vs. Drew McIntyre. It was changed into a six man tag as the day progressed.

So, there's no injury issue.

Levesque and others interviewed on the Untold piece all acknowledged that in hindsight (and for some, foresight) that Sting should have won the match. On the same card where Levesque defeated Sting, they did the angle with The Rock and Ronda Rousey getting physical with Levesque and Stephanie McMahon.

The only real teases were for Samoa Joe vs. Braun Strowman, which would indicate one was switching, and Becky Lynch vs. Lacey Evans, which could be on either brand, since Lynch made it clear in her promos that she would be working both brands as double champion ...

The general rule Vince has gone by in the past is you lose on your way out of the brand. So from that standpoint, people who would appear to have the best shot at switching are The Revival, Bayley, Bobby Roode & Chad Gable, The Bar, Andrade, Shinsuke Nakamura, Rusev and The Usos. They often also switch champions, so you could have a Kingston/Rollins switch, or a Balor/Joe switch, or a Hardys/Hawkins & Ryder switch.

Paul Heyman and Lesnar both pushed for Lesnar vs. Rollins to go early, as it hardly took a brain surgeon to realize it’ll come off better at 7 p.m. than at 11:45 p.m. For whatever reason, Hulk Hogan, who did a segment unannounced largely to do his posing routine, at 65, no longer taking off his shirt, was never told that Heyman was going to come out at the end of his segment for the easy heat of interrupting Hogan and set up the match right away.
That solves where Rollins vs. Lesnar was originally planned for Mania's card.

Those at ringside could immediately tell it was planned because security did nothing. Security was alerted ahead of time that an angle was being planned and to let it happen but weren’t told exactly what it is. The punches being thrown were really stiff because they wanted fans at ringside to think it was real. The idea was to fool everyone but as it turned out, while some fans were, most saw through it. They went so far as to keep this a secret from almost everyone. Tonga & Loa, who had just won, were not told, nor was anyone from the New Japan side told. They saw it, looked like they were mildly disgusted by it, didn’t fall for it and just walked away. Multiple sources have confirmed nobody in New Japan was told about it ahead of time. Tonga even tweeted sort of about it, just saying Enzo & Cass jumped the losers of the match not the winner and called it “ROH booking at its finest.” A number of people complained that this angle being booked at this time took away from the impact of the double title change.

The two will use the names nZo and CazXL and their tag team name will be the Free AgentZ. A big brawl ensued, none of which was shown to the streaming/PPV audience with the idea of presenting it like it wasn’t supposed to happen. In addition, they sent Bully Ray out there with the idea that he’s a big tough guy and would be the guy who would handle things for ROH if it was a real fight. Security when it was over got Enzo & Cass out. The key thing is they weren’t handcuffed or kicked out. Cass looked very out of shape, and was blown up with bloodshot eyes. He may have gotten hurt because the punches being thrown were very real because they wanted the ringsiders to believe it was a fight and he got several potatoes from the Briscoes ...

Regarding this situation, while it was most definitely an angle, and will play out, the two at press time had not signed contracts with ROH and have no future dates confirmed, although obviously they’re expected to appear. Withing the company, them being there was an issue that not everyone was on the same page on.

Of course, the problem is whether it can draw. AAA had great success for a few years in the early 90s, mostly in Los Angeles and San Jose, and lesser in places like Chicago and New York. After the ensuing 25 years, they ran some U.S. shows, some of which drew okay and some of which didn’t, but obviously it was never successful enough to have staying power. During most of that period, the promotion had U.S. television with Galavision.

If Madison Square Garden doesn’t do well, it would have a good chance to nix the rest of the tour ... The idea here is the idea of bringing traditional Mexican entertainment to New York which happens to be wrestling, as opposed to the idea of drawing 15,000 pro wrestling fans to see AAA. It sounds logical on paper with so many tourists in town, but there is no historical precedent of this working with pro wrestling. Even in Mexico, AAA coming to town isn’t drawing 15,000 fans to a show except for TripleMania.

There was a lot of talk of selling out the venue, although those close to the situation said that the market research done claimed that they wouldn’t sell out, but would be able to draw a healthy crowd. The costs of running MSG are so high, far more than any other arena in North America, because you’re paying for the prestige of “the world’s most famous arena,” but it also means a show doing a $300,000 gate, which is fine just about everywhere else, is a huge money loser in MSG.

So it skews much lower than WWE where about 50 percent of the viewers are over 50.

CMLL on Televisa on 3/30 at 4:30 p.m. (A better station and for a 4:30 p.m. start, Saturday is superior to Friday), cut to one hour from the usual two did a 1.1 rating and 1.3 million viewers.

The thing is, Hart doesn’t own the rights to his WWE footage as far as I know, unless they made some sort of a deal, nobody owns WWE footage rights other than WWE. WWE did give Hart a copy of it for his own personal collection and then apparently somehow either lost or got rid of it. The only tapes Hart owns are the Stampede Wrestling tapes that feature him, since Ross Hart and the family were not allowed to sell anything regarding Bret, because of Bret getting ownership of it in a deal with his father, when the collection was sold to WWE. That held up a lot of the release of Stampede shows that feature Bret on them.

James is expected to remain with WWE in another role, according to Pro Wrestling Sheet, who said that their sources claimed that it was a “mutual decision.” They say that James could end up in a variety of flexible “utility player” positions going forward, including Arn Anderson’s old role as a road agent.
