After months of speculation of whether or not he'd leave on September 1st, Bryan confirmed this weekend that he found that WWE actually hold an option year in his contract. The pipe dream of him working at Wrestle Kingdom or the ROH MSG show can officially be put to rest.

I mean it's all moot anyway as he's flat out said recently that he was extremely likely to re-sign for a whole host of reasons. But yeah.

Where did he say this?

On one hand, this is good because multi-man matches are way overdone and 1-on-1 matches generally help tell a better story. On the other hand...

New Japan have it pretty much spot on. 90% of their regular cards are tag matches with maybe one or two singles matches at the top of the card that feel way more important because they're being properly featured. But the tags aren't a waste of time - they actually advance the story in a way that doesn't give away anything about singles match they're building to.

A perfect example from last year - they were building towards Okada defending his title against EVIL. 10 man tag, Chaos vs. LIJ. Gedo and Naito were the legal men. EVIL hits Okada with Everything Is Evil at the same time Naito hit Tranquilo on Gedo. EVIL puts his foot on Okada's chest while Naito pins Gedo for the win.

So they just showed EVIL can hit his finish from OUTTA NOWHERE and leave Okada knocked out for a 3 count, but didn't have their champion actually eat a clean pin against his upcoming opponent...something WWE does regularly.

Roman wins the Big Red Belt. It's not the real title.

Nice

I didn't expect a 3rd season! Wahooo!

I think Eric Bischoff is the worst podcaster I've ever heard. He has this douchy condescending "you need to understand" tone about him talking about fucking anything. Hate his voice.

Would explain why he hired lawyers for his contract talks since he hinted WWE likes to hide stuff in contracts or make certain things as vague as possible.

It pays to blow cena

He sounds like this on almost every WWE documentary. Terrible.

Another rumored match for WWE's Evolution PPV:



If true, all three of the rumored and announced matches so far are probably going to be train wrecks in terms of match quality. Also all 3 big matches so far involve a part timer.

:roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll:

I for one can't wait to see...

Sasha Banks and Bayley get traded to SmackDown for Asuka because Stephanie goes over Kurt's head and wants a monster to put Ronda down. Ronda vs. Asuka for the Raw title and the Four Horsewomen in a four-way for the SmackDown one. It's not hard. Instead of blowing your load with Alexa vs. Trish, build to it, and do Trish vs. Mickie at the PPV, with Bliss talking shit about Trish at some point. Do that at Mania. Bliss and Nia can "blow-off" their issues at the PPV. The Bellas vs. The Iconics. Shayna calls out Nattie for her best friend bullshit with Ronda. Ember and Ruby Riott. You've got 7 matches right there. Do Kairi Sane vs. Io Shirai in a dream match for the NXT title, MYC Winner vs. MYC Winner. Get the rest of your babyfaces and maybe throw in some NXT girls and Toni Storm and do a multi-person tag to kick things off. Why do they always make things hard for themselves?

Great to see a spoiler alert Noid.

Brock will only be able to work All In if New Japan doesn't schedule him that weekend.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SIYsKtvSHrs" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

He'll only show up at one All In per year, and it won't be this one, because he doesn't feel like traveling to Chicago. he'll do the next one closer to his house.

Because that is too few women with huge titties, preferably fake, and way too much wrestling for a wrestling show. You need a squash opponent for Rousey, a bunch of bickering, and showcasing the "prettier" women and girls who haven't been working for you in years. That's what wrestling fans want to see.

HIs entire book is written that way too. If it was ghost-written then they sure captured his aura.

When you go back and look at the really obvious mistakes WCW was making when they were very clearly mistakes, it is very easy to realize that maybe stories of Eric Bischoff's brilliance have been greatly exaggerated.

Always knew these Young Bucks were pro Iranian.

lol honestly he lost me when he was describing grilling steak the same way he described the operations of running Monday Nitro. Like dawg, go fuck yourself. Just the most condescending self-aggrandizing tone.
