Official WWE/TNA Wrestling Thread

WWE network is struggling now, but once they work out the kinks and everything its going to be Huge and a game changer. and increase the WWE stock

 

This.

 

Meltzer was the one I read about them losing 128,000 people, I'm not sure when renewals started but he said it was a disturbing sign, I know most people don't trust him info.

 

I have been interviewed by Meltzer before. Good guy. I am floored he still has the inside contacts that he does. I am convinced his source is Vince.

 

Interesting then as Meltzer is pretty good. I wonder why those people didn't reupp.

 

RIP WWE Magazine. Cause of death: budget cuts. Seriously this is kind of depressing news only because it was such a huge part of my childhood growing up and probably the only thing that saved my poor mother bringing me grocery shopping. I haven't gotten a WWE magazine in probably 18 years but still kind of sucky.

 

Thanks for contributing to its death, ****-face

 

Scott Keith's new article about the pros/cons of the WWe Network:

http://www.sportingnews.com/sport/s...n-john-cena-wcw-monday-night-raw-monday-nitro

Nothing we haven't talked about before but rumors are Nitros will be added very shortly, as early as next week. And the WWE finally put up all of the remaining SNME episodes.

 

Really hoping for a good RAW tonight.

Last week was.....odd....to say the very least. Ending with a Diva feud weeks before Summerslam is very very weird.

 

I miss the good ole days...

 

me too

 

RAW should be interesting for sure. Word is Cena, Lesnar and Heyman won't be there so I wonder if the WWE will hype up the Orton/Reigns, Ambrose/Rollins stuff more tonight along with Jericho/Wyatt, Swagger/Rusev, Paige/AJ and whatever is going on with the IC title.

 

Sorry but that is ****ing ridiculous. 3 hours of what....? Why is that the M.E. then? I just don't care right now. And I should. Summerslam is like one baby step down from WM.....at least it should be in my opinion.

 

Cena is off filming his new movie, Brock is back home collecting his paycheck and Heyman is I believe in New York promoting his new DVD, although I guess Heyman could appear via taped interview.

Summer Slam, actually historically has usually been a better overall PPV than WM especially in the earlier years in terms of match quality. So you're not wrong, SS is the 2nd biggest PPV of the year.

I don't think not having Cena, Lesnar or Heyman at RAW live is a bad thing. Part of the reason why Brock is such a draw is because he's not on RAW every single week so when he does appear it makes it special. Back in the day the WWF champion never appeared on WWF Superstars or Challenge, even the beginning episodes of RAW he was on maybe 1 time a month. Especially with social media and the WWE having to fill 6 + hours of TV shows a week it might be good to keep guys off every so often.

 

I am truly fine with that, except when Smackdown is a joke, the last RAW sucked, and we're 13 days away from Summerslam. There is literally no build up at all to the main event of summer slam, and it pissed me off.

 

No I get that, the build hasn't been great by any means. The WWE is simply hoping to "sell" the event on the names of Cena and Lesnar. They're obviously taking this Monday off with hopes or really selling the PPV next week.

To be honest with you I haven't watched a full RAW since the end of June and feel like I haven't missed a thing which is both good and bad.

 

I will be Stroking the Wife tonight, You can see it for $9.99 on the WWE Network.

 

Smackdown is apparently moving back to Thursdays soon. I personally think that's a great move as Friday night seems like a bad slot. Hopefully they make the show important again.

Also if anyone read this week's Smackdown spoilers, I'm pretty disappointed in the stipulation of the Ambrose/Rollins match but glad it's not yet another Last Man Standing match I guess.

 

Thursdays is where it belongs. Too many things to do on Fridays to give a **** about basically Sunday Night Heat....

 

I loved Sunday Night heat before it became a recap show

 

Ya I meant the recap of it. Smackdown is literally a replay of RAW and some random superstar vs Alberto Del Rio.

Del Rio has been released for "unprofessional conduct and an altercation with an employee".

To be honest with you I won't miss him, never got the appeal of him and thought he was pretty boring. Probably for the best too as the WWE really had nothing for him for years it seems.

 

Won't miss him either. Bland. Stale. Basic "wrestler" if you went to WWE 2k14 and went to create a wrestler, and just hit save immediately before starting anything. Just very generic. Does nothing for me. Plus supposedly hes a dick, so WWE will be fine without him.

 

He's been on his way out for years no? I always felt like he wanted to leave.

 

Contract was up in December, was reportedly unhappy and was going to go back to Mexico anyway.

 

Yup absolutely. Never had any opinion on him, he was just there. I wouldn't say he was a bad wrestler but he just bored me.

 

Only time that I actually remember him having a personality was when Cena and Punk(I think) were about to fight, He was ringside and cena threw his shirt in the crowd and they kept throwing it back, and he just started laughing.

 

Network update:

WCW Nitro episodes will be up by October, no word if they will all be released at once or if they will release a few at a time ala RAW. Additional WCW stuff will then be added in January.

More WCCW will be available next month.

I will say as awesome as the Network is, the way they add stuff sometimes is puzzling. With the launch they added a bunch of ECW and WCCW shows and since them haven't added anymore and the ones they did add aren't in order. Plus I'm surprised it's taken them this long to add any WCW stuff too. Then they add all of the Clash of Champions stuff at once then take 3 weeks to add all of the SNME stuff. I know they fired the guy in charge of adding content to the Network shortly after the launch but still, just weird. You'd think they would add Nitro asap to keep people subscribing to the Network but no.

 

Good article from Scott Keith on his Summer Slam predictions:

http://www.sportingnews.com/sport/s...ambrose-roman-reigns-randy-orton-seth-rollins

Can't say I disagree with any of them, SS seems like it will be a fairly prediction PPV but I am looking forward to it and it should be a good one.

 

Go home RAW tonight, hope it's good. Hogan will be there.....so whatever.....but hope we see a lot of progress in the storylines leading up to Sundays SS.

 

Hogan and Hall have been tweeting nWo pictures leading to people to speculate that the nWo is going to come back to try and stop The Authority. Personally I can't see how or why that would happen but then again with the WWE you never know right?

But yeah the go home show should be good, in theory at least.

 

Please god no.

 

Smackdown episodes 2, 3, and 4 have been added today. Wonder if the WWE is starting to add all the Smackdowns now instead of just random individual episodes.

I would love to go back and watch all of the 2002ish Smackdown episodes when they had the Smackdown 6 (Angle, Benoit, Edge, Mysterio, Eddie and Chavo) having 4 star matches with each other each week.

 

Fantasy Booking....

Hogan comes out.......in red and yellow....

then all of a sudden...NWO music hits...Hall and Nash come out.....

Hogan rips off the yellow shirt to reveal a NWO beneath it......

Then Hogan cuts a 2 hour 58 minute promo to announce a Hall vs. Kane main event.

Hall Squashes Kane in 2 minutes. Hogan poses for 40 minutes off camera. HHH comes out when nobody is in the building and pimps the WWE network for 9.99.

On the Raw post show, Eric Bischoff and John Laurenitis announce they are back as Raw and Smackdown GM's.

A mass suicide of wrestling fans is broadcast over the exclusive WWE App.

The End.

 

Let's not forget. Kevin Nash buries Jericho and Mysterio, beginning his crusade against Vanilla Midgets.
