It was reported a while back that WWE officials were contemplating doing a John Cena vs. Rusev feud for WrestleMania 31. The idea at that time was to have Rusev cost Cena his chance at recapturing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at the WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view.

As of right now, WWE is advertising a tag-team main event of John Cena and Randy Orton vs. Rusev and Seth Rollins for the live event in Madison Square Garden on February 27th. Some view this as a possible sign that WWE is going forward with their original plans for Cena vs. Rusev at WrestleMania.

Thus far, there has been no interaction between Cena and Rusev that would indicate that match being booked. Some are of the opinion that Cena and Rusev is simply a live event program for WrestleMania season, possibly because Brock Lesnar doesn't work non-televised events.
Could even have the possibility of a double run-in with Orton since Rollins-Orton has been teased as a Mania match.

I'd rather see Dolph cost Cena because he no longer has a job.

WWE Tough Enough Officially Returning

http://17r1l63fshd52dy9yakdizhkog.wp...gh-645x370.jpg

According to Pwinsider.com, a new season of Tough Enough will be coming to the USA Network. USA Network President President Chris McCumber just announced at The Critics Association Winter Press Tour event in Los Angeles today. Details are limited at this time, but the show will reportedly feature a new format as well as elements that would make the show live and interactive. There was talk last year of the series being revived for the WWE Network before those planned stalled.

Wrestlers such as Maven, Nidia, Matt Morgan, Ivelisse Velez, TNA star Kenny King, The Miz, Ryback, John Morrison, Chris Nowinski, TNA announcer Josh Mathews, Jackie Gayda-Haas, and current WWE Diva Cameron all appeared on the series.

Just to clarify, the new deal is for more of the current tv channel type and not them getting the US type version.

Sources close to the situation indicate the contract issue between WWE and Sky Sports doesn't at this time look like it will be resolved any time soon, so until the network has geoblocking put in, where Main Event could air in the rest of the world but not in the U.K. market, it contractually is not able to air on the WWE Network.

The current time frame appears to be late summer or early fall for geoblocking to be put into place and the expectation would be that Main Event would return to the WWE Network at that time.

The show will continue to be taped due to international broadcast commitments but it would have no television home in the United States, but will remain available on Hulu.
WWE really messed up with how they handled the Network in the UK and pissing off Sky Sports. The reason why Main Event was a Network only show was because nobody else was interested in carrying it once Ion TV dropped out.

Quote:
USA Network President Chris McCumber announced eariler today that the USA Network will be bringing back Tough Enough.

The show will have live elements and interactive element.

The plan is to start filming after WrestleMania and the format will be wrestlers under contract to WWE, but not yet having appeared on television.


Some other sheet news include Dave Meltzer debunked almost all the stories Hogan told on the recent podcast with Jericho. Recomended to skip to the podcast unless you wanted a laugh at the BS Hogan was saying.

I know WrestleMania 31 is in March. That's why I said it was strange. WrestleMania is usually held the first Sunday in April.

It can't though because the first April in Sunday is Easter Sunday this year. Would be a great gimmick though to have the Bunny in a match if they could pull it off.

Now it seems that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon is falling a bit out of love with the team. According to Daily Wrestling News, Vince told JBL to bury The Ascension on the announce desk when they messed up their campy promo a few weeks back. He has apparently been told to bury them a bit since. Many see this as a bad sign for the team’s future, but WWE is apparently not done with them yet.
Quote:
It first came about when Sting’s job at WrestleMania 31 was the topic of discussion. Vince McMahon wants the Undertaker to wrestle Sting, but Triple H is in favor of himself wrestling Sting at WrestleMania. This was the first instance that the WWE fans heard of their disagreements.

Now, it’s starting to involve other members of the WWE creative staff. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Triple H and Vince McMahon are beginning to act like they are the only people who write the shows. “Word is that some of the WWE writers feel they are once again being left in the dark on certain parts of the booking. Triple H and Vince McMahon have been meeting a lot with just the two of them to discuss creative.”

This is becoming a trend lately, because the Observer also reports that McMahon wants to stop pushing the Ascension, but Triple H strongly disagrees. Simultaneously, Triple H is concerned about the long term, while McMahon is focused on the market and money at the current moment. WWE fans always complain about how the WWE doesn’t do long-term booking.

WWE has added Kevin Nash back to Monday's RAW Reunion special from Dallas. Nash was pulled from the event after WWE suspended his Legends deal following the domestic incident with his son in December. As noted, Nash's deal was reinstated this week when the charges were dropped.

The complaints from Haynes and Lograsso/Singleton appear to be virtually identical except for short paragraphs about the complainants.

Singleton’s complaint mentions wrestling WWE Superstar Erick Rowan in developmental as Singleton claims, “After approximately 15 matches, during which he sustained multiple traumas, he suffered a serious head injury during a match with Eric Rowen [sic]. The WWE cleared him to continue wrestling after inadequate rest time and downplayed his injury.”

Singleton was apparently out of action for five months after a match against Rowan. He then worked one more match and was released from his developmental deal. Singleton has suffered from a number of severe neurological symptoms and later found out that he had bleeding in the left hemisphere of his brain.

Lograsso noted that he “suffers from serious neurological damage, including severe headaches, memory loss, depression and anxiety, as well as deafness.”

Right now the plan is for ROH to book only 2-3 wrestlers from New Japan Pro Wrestling for the Toronto ROH shows in May.

Originally, the plan was to bring in the 8 or more wrestlers like last year which was ROH booker Delirious (Hunter Johnston)'s intent but ROH COO Joe Koff is uneasy about spending that level of money in 2015 on New Japan talent. Last year the company barely broke even on the 2 shows. Johnston believes the partnership can be very lucrative in the long-term and has pitched airing the shows as pay-per-views to recoup the money of bringing in an elite crew like in 2014, but that would disrupt the plan to do the Best in the World June pay-per-view. Gilleland doesn't believe it's worth disrupting their PPV calendar which they are just now establishing and taking on more risk.

Other sheet news include rumors of the WWE considering doing another brand split with Bryan to be Smackdown's top star and Reigns/Cena as RAW's.

I'm not into The Ascension, really. Feel sorry for those guys, but I feel Konnor worked best as being surprisingly over in the NXT vacuum, and Viktor worked best as a singles guy. At this point in time, I'd rather see The Usos develop a rivalry with Kidd & Cesaro in time for WrestleMania. Then, after Mania, call up Sami Zayn & Adrian Neville as a tag team to work against Kidd & Cesaro, and have The Usos face a heel New Day.

If you want to keep The Ascension main roster, maybe have them become hired goons for someone like Barrett. Have them worship him bad-assery, and stand in his corner looking menacing. Put them over in squash matches on Superstars and Main Event. Maybe they can put over The New Day just in time for their heel turn?

Put them over in squash matches on Superstars and Main Event. Maybe they can put over The New Day just in time for their heel turn?
No.

The best thing about The Ascension was always their glowing hand entrance back with Kenneth Cameron or whatever his name was.

agreed!

loved the Varsity Club.

I've always thought it would be something WWE should try to do in modern times.

I'm just not digging the Ascension's "gimmick". Like, I didn't follow NXT religiously or anything, but weren't they originally the typical dark, gothic, gloomy kinda team, with lots of theatrics 'n'stuff?

Coz I'm really not liking them being the generic "big man/face paint/gimmicky spikey costume" types, who keep comparing themselves to the Road Warriors, Demolition etc.

I guess they felt they needed more PIZAZZ (read: pizza) and gave them the paint/spiked armor stuff. Personally, Victor should have just kept the contacts he wore, those were nifty. Had a pair similar to those years ago and they hurt like fook after about 30 minutes, probably why he doesn't continue with them I guess.

Either way, they seem fresh and should get some steam. Other than a weak finisher, they are pretty good. Their finisher is a leg sweep with a faux lariat :|

1000x this.

Vastardikai 01-19-2015 04:18 PM
Like I said before, if they're going to do the generic "big man/face paint/gimmicky spikey costume" types, they need names more menacing than Konnor and Viktor.

Also, they would do good to rip off the Decapitation Elbow. It looks better than the Fall of Man, and it's based on what they do, not how the guy takes it.

On the menu for tonight's dinner, Leftover Dirtsheets:

Quote:
WWE's current plan is for Bo Dallas to make his return in the 30-man Royal Rumble main event later this month.

It was announced on November 3rd that Bo suffered a foot injury and would be out of action for 6-8 weeks.

Quote:
On a related note, there's a rumor going around NXT that Kalisto may be getting called up to the main roster soon.
May or may not be related to the recent news about Rey Mysterio likely done with WWE after Mania.


Quote:
International wrestler and former WWE champion, 'The Great Khali' has hinted at promoting the WWE style of wrestling in India.

A close associate of the wrestler said the Uttarakhand CM Harish Rawat asked him to hold a wrestling show at Dehradun for promoting the national games 2018.

Khali, who hails from this district, held a joint press conference with Rawat Monday evening. International shooter Jaispal rana also accompanied the duo.

Interacting with Hindustan Times, Khali said his wrestling academy would be functional at Jalandhar in Punjab soon in which a group of wrestlers would be prepared. He said trained wrestlers of India and even foreign countries may be a part of the first show.

Khali added that a WWE coach was arriving in India to impart training to probable wrestlers. "Other state governments should also introduce a sports policy like Uttarakhand" he added.

SPOILER: show
There's also been a heavy push within WWE for Diamond Dallas Page to be a surprise entrant in the Rumble this year and he's expected to be in the match.

Spoiler tag used since it covers a possible surprise Rumble entrant this year and is a big name.

SlickyTrickyDamon 01-19-2015 06:54 PM
Going through Royal Rumble Marathon on WWE Network. I'm at 2005. How the hell did WWE think Heidenreich was worthy of going one on one with da UNDERTAKERRR playa?

XL 01-19-2015 06:55 PM
You should have put that spoiler ahead of the tags. I thought it related to the bit about Mysterio.

Emperor Smeat 01-19-2015 07:00 PM
Sorry about that, moved the spoiler news to the end.
