They probably don't get the rights for RAW on Hulu since it's Universal / Concast
NBC is launching their own service next year. So in order to watch RAW/SD and PPVs without cable you'd need 3 separate subscriptions (Hulu assuming they stream SD still, NBCs thing for RAW and WWE Network) Suddenly your probably at close to $30 a month to watch WWE and don't have Netflix even.

So weird...don't think I've ever seen a good arm-wrestling segment in pro-wrestling history....

Vince should do an arm sports entertainment show

Droford 06-13-2019 02:10 PM

Just realized that Shane beat Dolph for Best in the World at Crown Jewel soif Dolph were to win the WWE Championship there's a built in program with him and Shane (You might call yourself BITW Cause you beat me back then but you can't beat me now)

Fignuts 06-13-2019 02:12 PM

They both just recently turned heel.

And if came out in the middle of Shane McMahon Appreciative Night #51 and said that it'd be a insta face turn

Fignuts 06-13-2019 02:27 PM

Turning someone heel just to instantly turn him face is fucking awful.

Never mind the fact that people generally don’t care about Ziggler anymore.

Droford 06-13-2019 02:43 PM

It wouldnt be instant. Dolph and Kofi would have a rematch in july and the Dolph vs Shane at Summerslam

82’ must have been a slow year for disgusting promotional tactics.

Wait... why was Backlund as champion considered a “disgusting promotional tactic”?

Seanny One Ball 06-13-2019 03:06 PM

Gertner needs to explain that list to me. The first two in particular.

According to the Observer, Dana Warrior supposedly has been very hands-on with Lacey Evans current push in WWE to the point Meltzer thinks Lacey is Dana's "pet project" in Creative.

Also Vince and Kevin Dunn supposedly were not in charge of WWE's tv shows this week.

Ed Koskey was running around like crazy at Raw kind of in control. Dana Warrior was there working hands on with Lacey Evans. I don’t know that Evans is a Warrior project but she does work heavily with Evans on her promos

Meltzer HATED Backlund as champ.

Superstar Graham did an angle in late 82 where he destroyed Backlund's title on T.V and Backlund cried like when Nancy Kerrigan got her kneecap smashed. Its cringeworthy.

He was selling the gimmick like Boris Karloff, I have to give the guy credit for that.
He had a better mask than Oz anyway.

Ol Dirty Dastard 06-13-2019 09:46 PM

I get that the idea is to put the significance and symbolism of the belt over, but reacting so angrily makes no sense. Realistically, the champ would be a bit pissed but they could just get a new one.

Was reading that article and took a glance at the side articles and noticed Ryan Clark's name as one of the authors.

Wonder if he's the same Ryan Clark that used to write for TPWW's Frontpage.

Curt Hennig destroying Hulk Hogan's WWF title is probably the most famous example of that.

Kinda. But you could say the same thing about vehicle destruction. "Look at my beautiful *personal* limousine! Oh no, don't touch it with that bat..." The guy wouldn't go. "You destroyed it for nothing, I'll just buy another one." The belt is something they not only fought for, but it is theirs (neverminding the deposit practices like the one that allowed Ric Flair to essentially walk off with the WCW Championship because of the money behind it)

I mean, now, fans in the stands shell out money for belts that look better than one an actual promotion might have... but back then, on top of the prestige, there used to be a little more emphasis on how much the titles meant, but also on how much they COST!

Savio 06-13-2019 11:34 PM

Wouldn't the company just have to pay for it though? Like if Brock came back to the UFC and destroyed Jon Jones title it's not like Jon would have to pay.

Probably depends on the terms if WWE had a similar deposit system like NWA and WCW.

Barry Windham also smashed Dustin Rhodes’ US title on a WCW Saturday Night episode back in the early 90s. I’m sure there are more instances. I remember thinking recently about it being done oddly often.

Greg Valentine destroyed the IC title after Tito won it

Damian Rey 2.0 06-14-2019 12:31 AM

If anyone destroyed the current WWE belts people would prob cheer.

#1-norm-fan 06-14-2019 12:32 AM

Just came back to post about Valentine doing it.

Also, Nikita Koloff destroyed the US Title like 2 years before Windham did it.

I thought maybe someone would throw Daniel Bryan's in a wood chipper

Tom Guycott 06-14-2019 02:33 AM

Seemed like an obvious route. Or burning it. Or at least a chainsaw.

Sadly, even though it was supposed to be an instrument of heat, I really liked the hemp and wood belt better than the actual gold and leather.

Gaming website Giantbomb just held a final segment for their series of nightly E3 shows that had Kenny Omega and Xavier Woods as the guests.

They played a comedy bit where neither were on the screen at the same time and oblivious to the other being in the same room via shenanigans. Then after Woods left for the last time, it turned into a real interview with Omega discussing games and hyping up both AEW and their upcoming shows.

Segment before had Woods with a bunch of other guests discussing E3 games and weird stuff.
