I used to listen to Keller when I was a kid on a subscriber hotline, I think it was Keller, could've been Dave or Alvarez I'm not sure I was really young like 8/9 years old. Wade Keller really comes from a hard marks perspective for me, I don't enjoy his analysis or podcasts at all, his call in episodes are cringe worthy. PWI's website looks like it wants to but fuck my computer so I don't go anywhere near it. Although I know Triple H throws him a bone sometimes, I can get his stuff translated to the TPWW main page. Which truthfully, has always been my first stop on checking the news. Then I go to F4W to see if what I just read is legit, and listen to the podcasts and read The Observer weekly.

Yeah PWI's website is atrocious and a text book example of why people use ad and pop up blockers. Think for a while Google threw warnings because of all the malware and adware that was going on.

Even this new computer I have has problems running multiple tabs from their site from all the shit that is being loaded or playing if I don't have blockers on.

King of Bun Style.

It's a good thing Shinsuke didn't have much to say. Since he doesn't shpeak Engrish. He should also wear that smoking jacket to the ring just because.

Not sure if Ronda is just terrible at smirking or WWE is terrible at taking good photos of Ronda for posters. Even her face for the Money in the Bank poster looked a bit off.

While this is true, it seems more like he uses it as a crutch at this point. It's almost like Bruce Pritchard's "I don't recall" on an issue he's specifically asked about when he supposedly was standing right there.

Yeah, there are instances like that infamous RAW that was re-written 3 entire times that day just for Vince to do yet another one himself right before they went on... but it doesn't happen to that capacity all the goddamn time, and that's mostly a WWE (Vince) trait. But there is a world of difference between "so-and-so got hurt/fired/arrested so some angle needed to be scrapped/altered out of neccessity" and "this guy didn't win a main event like I thought he would because it made sense to me on paper". It has gotten to where Meltz will use it for anything as a generic, catch-all disclaimer, which puts both of those instances on equal footing - and they're not.

There are plenty of people who might "know" someone who can get them an occasional scoop, but the thing about those people is that they don't know how to cultivate sources and when their contact is weeded out/moves on/loses details, they don't really have anything else.

What Meltzer has is a name and a reputation. He knows people from numerous different eras, and is also a historian at this point. In the world of social media and online content, he's as much part of the industry as so many of the guys working. He's not dependent on one person in WWE creative leaking him details that happen to be correct. He's got eyes and ears well and truly entrenched by this point.

Jack Campbell Peterson IV might get a great scoop from the writing buddy he went to college with, but when that writer gets fired because he scripts Alexa Bliss to say "boot-tooty" too many times in a segment and Vince gets the shits, he's useless.

I honestly don't really listen to much Meltzer, but he doesn't back off nearly as much as people say. A lot of the time things are clearly his opinion or just backstage mumblings, because that's all those details exist as. There's a difference between saying "This is definitely the plan" and "I imagine this is where they are going." Meltz will flat-out come out and say if he's just spit-balling and speculating based on other things he does know.

He was completely right about this women's PPV thing, wasn't he? And about Roman getting this title shot? He had obviously heard those where the plans and they came true. He obviously talks to people who hear what the plans are. That they change isn't so much a crutch as it is something that happens. If things change they can't stay the same, can they?

I don't see the problem with this PPV, so long as between now and then they don't start sacrificing the badass for the pretty.

As for this poster, though... yeah, they need better promo pics of Rousey. Doesn't even look like a photo, looks like someone used an airbrush tool in Photoshop on someone who vaugely looked like her in a magazine.

Alexa Bliss is one of the three women being promoted for it. They're going to the pretty.

In fairness, she's also the heel champion.

I agree with Noid, we should have an all black woman PPV.

lol

Called "WWE: Lived Experience"

If that PPV features Ember Moon getting nekkid, I'm on board

Also... Ember Moon getting choked out by Asuka while naked.... err I mean... nah that's exactly what I mean.

I like the way you think

Asuka wouldn't be on the PPV, Asians are not a protected minority.

The PPV would Be 2 Ironwoman matches

Alicia Fox vs Sasha

Ember Moon vs Naomi

Referee would be Jacquline
Commentator/Announcer: Jojo

Special appearance by "Du-rag Vince"

Shaniqua and Brandi Rhodes are the two returning acts

Did you swipe right?

Quite a distance ratio that person set

Everyone should swipe right for the Good Brother

Legit just had to google which way someone swipes on Tinder to say yes

Barnburner claiming a #SCOOP about The Rock l8r today...hopefully u don't have to listen to a podcast and it's just an article

I'm reading that The Rock may be wrestling at Wrestlemania. Rock vs Roman would be the money for sure.

I'd say that Skyscrapers poor opening weekend in the US has a lot to do with this. Gotta regain that core audience.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Seems as if this news is going to hit soon but, It seems like The Rock is leaning towards wrestling in 2019(Mania)and making some WWE appearances sooner rather than later. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RAW?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#RAW</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WWE?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#WWE</a></p>&mdash; 17ABay �� (@TicketDrew) <a href="https://twitter.com/TicketDrew/status/1022130718649065472?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 25, 2018</a></blockquote>

Would be the main event if it happened.

Rumor mill is saying Vince is high on Almas after the AJ match

Sounds funny.

I wasn't planning on attending WM35 and was leaning towards the RR19...might have to hashtag re-think this though via The Rock

I joked earlier this year about how WWE's goal each year seems to be to find a way to get the WM crowd to respond even more hostile towards Roman Reigns than ever before

I think Roman beating The Rock would be pretty up there on the list.

I could see them picking up that HHH vs Rock feud they've teased a few times over the last couple of years.

WM36 Roman vs Stone Cold
WM37 Roman vs Ronda
WM38 Roman vs a small baby

Rock costs Roman the title at Summerslam, BRAUN cashes in on Brock at RAW

He does it for ....the people

I'm quite sold that KO is going to walk out of Summersfest with the Universal Championship.

That would be such a waste. I hope Triple H is not on the WM card at 35. Unless he's against AJ, just because that would elevate AJ.
