Yeah, just came here to post that.
I'll be honest, I'm pretty pissed off. |
I smell a last minute intervention by Sky.
|
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
|
We'll probably get the Canadian version after all.
Or maybe it'll be an actual TV channel over here, under the name of "Sky Sports WWE". Pretty much like what they do with Sky Sports F1, Sky Movies Disney and what they did during the Ryder Cup, with Sky Sports Ryder Cup. |
Personally, I would have liked an explanation for the last minute delay.
It's feels like a bit of a dick move to wait until around twenty minutes before we're due to get it, after hyping it up and with one previous delay already happened, and then pull out and pretty much say "Actually, you're not getting the network today". |
Yep. They've really mishandled the launch over here.
|
Raw will be interesting next week though.

I don't mind Sky Sports F1, but I shudder to think what Sky Sports WWE would be like.
|
I'm not paying for a Sky subscription, then the WWE Network/channel on top. No way.
I can see Sky cutting a deal though. Why would anybody pay £14.99 a month to watch on Box Office when they can get the Network for £6.25? Surely Sky would prefer the lower fee/or part of it than get nothing. |

WWE recent changed their Mania 31 promo poster. If the poster means possible big future pushes, then good news for Ambrose and bad news for Barrett and Big E

I honestly can't believe Big E was on the banner in the first place.

Just watched Chris Jericho's Monday Night War. Not sure how the episode was going to go down since he came into the WWF in the later stages of the War. Not enough of his stuff in WCW in the episode to show why he wanted to leave.
The Rock's episode is dropping tomorrow. Going to be a good one. I hope they have an episode for the solely for the lower to midcard guys. Really to show that an Attitude Era card was stacked from bottom to top. Needs Steve Blackman. |
Brilliant moves by WWE on RAW tonight. I'm very excited for the upcoming shows and for Survivor Series now.

Some other sheet news include the first episode of Lucha Underground ended up being one of the most watched shows on the El Rey Network and Sky Sports denying rumors they were involved in the WWE Network's delay in the UK |
Id watch Lucha Underground if DirecTV carried el Rey in HD. As it is, its standard def and its window boxed (black bars on all 4 sides) so the picture ends up being small as hell on my 47 inch TV. I watched the main event from the first show on YouTube and it was great.

Ryback for US Champion.
|
Rusev vs Cena only makes sense at TLC where its a table or ladder match and Rusev doesn't have to get the win via the Accolade.
|
If there was a time to re-introduce the European Championship (because, you know, Russia is also champion of Europe), it is now.

Feed him to THE RYBACK.

Rusev debut
Rusev title win Future is near for the comedic run. Bringing Koslov in for a midcard international feud would work and boost Rusev's waning popularity |
|
I'm doing a little tinker stinker here and just realized that Fozzy plays in St Louis the day after Survivir Series. Could we possibly see Y2J joining Team Cena?
|
Never mind. He plays Des Moines during Survivor Series.
|
Am I crazy, or would Survivor Series be the PERFECT time to turn Cena.
Yes, I know it won't happen, but it is perfect. Have Orton be on Team Cena, just to have Cena turn on him and join the Authority, yadda yadda yadda. But that's not why it is perfect. It is perfect because they are giving away Survivor Series for free. They could literally do the biggest heel turn of the modern era on a "free ppv" that is likely to get the most views. Ratings for the next night of Raw would sky rocket. I don't know how the ratings payoff would shake out with the merchandise drop, but still... |
They have to do something big there, not much bigger than that.
|
The problem is that every time someone has an idea to turn Cena heel, it's almost "the perfect time" to do so.
It won't happen. And it won't be perfect. And no more people would tune in the next day than those who already do. |

John Cena turning heel would be pretty epic, and Randy Orton is the sort of babyface star that the company knows quite well by now. There won't be too many surprises on that front for them, which I have always felt is a big downside to putting a rising star against a heel Cena.

Don't see that as a spoiler. Hogan referenced Cena for revenge, and naturally Rusev would like to get Russia to be world champ.

So apparently Cena was filming a spot for Parks and Rec, thats why he missed RAW, because he loves us JACK and he'll never leave.

So a rapper called Consequence released a song last month the features Mark Crozer, the guy the majority of wrestling fans know as being behind Bray Wyatt's theme.
Anyway, I couldn't help but think that either Consequence made this song and it's supposed to be about The Wyatt's, or maybe he made this song with the hopes that it would get picked up by the WWE and they would want to buy it from him, just like they did with Mark Crozer. The lyrics seem to fit the Wyatt's far too well for the latter to just be a "coincidence", and it also has a Legion Of Doom reference in it too. I typed up the lyrics for anyone that's interested, though the lyrics are what I hear, as the lyrics that are online, come across as being pretty wrong to me and a lot also have question marks all over them, to show that whoever typed them up wasn't 100% sure of what they heard was correct. It's a good song though. It's been in my head for a few days now. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/JSqHJsoqrqM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Quote:
|
Good song, lyrics make it super coincidental at best but too "cheery" for Wyatt unless they do a Mankind style thing where the happy theme plays after victories. Which they shouldn't.
|
I really want Curtis Axel to succeed, but I just feel like he is missing that "thing" people need. His match with Justin Gabriel was pretty good, but that's never been a concern with Axel. The running knee finish made him look more brutal and focused, but he's always had intensity when he's spoken.
I was thinking watching that match though: I wouldn't be opposed to seeing The Authority put Dolph Ziggler in an Intercontinental Title match at Survivor Series to soften him up. Use a loophole where he is obligated to defend the title or something. Ziggler and Axel can have a fifteen-minute match where Stephanie screws Dolph out of the title Montreal-style, and Axel gets a second run with the IC Title as Dolph has more reason to bring the fire in the main event. Then I realised that would all work better with Tyson Kidd. |
But if Kidd can develop a personality, why can't Axel?

Good news/Bad News about the GFW sponsored Wrestling Kingdom 9 event next year.
The good news is ROH wrestlers are being allowed to wrestle in the event and overall show time is getting cut back a bit to make it easier to watch. The bad news is those ROH wrestlers and their matches won't be shown in the US feed and a lot of stuff might get cut to fit a 4 hour show. NJPW usually likes around 4.5 to 5 hours for their big ppvs events since it allows for some intermissions, bigger cards, and longer matches. Quote:

Anyone else remember when WWE PPVs used to have intermissions. Halfway through it would just cut to Gene Okerlund in a studio for 15 minutes to discuss what has happened and what's coming up? Or maybe it was just WrestleMania. I don't know. I definitely remember it though. Would be so odd today to just cut to a studio for 10 minutes mid-PPV.
|
They do go to the special panel with Booker T, Alex Riley and a few others sometimes during a PPV. Is that not the same thing, except shittier?
|
Much shittier. Thankfully it isn't for 10-15 minutes like back then though. I don't know if I could handle 15 minutes of Alex Riley talking on my TV.

I then had the idea that Christian could manage him. I've liked the idea of the former multi-time Tag Team Champion taking a young tag team under his wing, though. The I realised that they already put Axel with the greatest manager alive today, and tried him in a tag team and neither really worked out. Maybe he really is a lost cause. |
