And they remained pretty over for awhile in spite of it, much like Motor City Machine Guns were in TNA when those two were getting pretty much the same treatment as these guys in WWE, but over a massively longer stretch of time.

It's too bad that they can't get Clint Bobski back. But if the timeframe of season 3 is legit, they've hopefully found an opponent for Debbie by now. And for some reason, I wonder if they'll have gimmicks akin to "Making A Difference" Savio Vega, Skinner, and Hakushi. And more importantly, will this mean the return of Porkchop Jones?

I’ve always been a proponent of Fandango. Just find it interesting he’s got a starring role on this show but WWE have never really even given him a whiff of the mid-card since 2013.

Matt Hardy has officially announced he let his contract expire and that he is now a free agent. Take that with a grain of salt.

Found that interesting since it was assumed even with Anthem's purchase that AXS still likely wasn't a member of Nielsen's system considering their shows never rank.

Likely means Impact's numbers are doing just as bad as they were on the Pursuit Channel despite the increased exposure and better brand name AXS has.

Season 2 of Viceland's Dark Side of the Ring is currently expected to debut later this month.

The Benoit episode is getting special treatment in the form of being 2 hours in length instead of the typical 1 hour for episodes in the series.

The news was first reported by PWInsider and confirmed independently with sources close to the show. There is no exact date for the season kickoff as of this point.

While season one featured six episodes, season two will be ten episodes with nine subjects meaning one will be two hours instead of their customary one. Some of the topics confirmed include:
  • The Chris Benoit story (expected to be the two hour focus)
  • Brawl For All
  • The life and times of Dino Bravo
  • New Jack
  • Herb Abrams, founder of the UWF
  • The life and times of Owen Hart


Bad News Gertner 03-02-2020 04:23 PM

The Herb Abrams one should be amazing.

I subscribe to Between The Sheets Patreon and this did a 3 part deep dive in the UWF. Lots of jaw dropping stuff like Herb announcing Bruiser Brody joining the UWF even though Brody had been dead for a year or so.

Shame that there aren't numbers for the NJPW stuff to compare to. I bet at least the couple of live USA specials would have at least gotten a rating.

It's really crazy that Anthem bought the network specifically for the platform to air Impact on and no one with a Nielsen box watches it.

I've read some of that guy's stuff in the past, and it has actually been pretty good. Got no clue what the fuck he's thinking here. So, so fucking wrong.

Money in the Bank is going to be in Baltimore on May 10th. Definitely going, there's an Orioles game before hand just like the time I went to Extreme Rules with the LockJaw nation sign.

I do find it odd that both RAW and SD are in the middle of the European Tour with SD in London the Friday before and shows in Germany the week after. Hmm

Doubt the truth will ever be known about this, though the evidence for would probably say it likely did happen.

Somehow WWE still treats their affiliated promotions in the UK and Europe worse than those they consider to be their enemy.

Only reason wXw didn't bother to initially book any AEW or NJPW affiliated talent for this year's Carat of Gold tournament was due to WWE promising them WWE/NXT talent if they didn't. Then WWE decides to just break their promise afterwards.

I'm a bit surprised Mae Young wasn't in the gallery .

I guess WWE Women's champs only?

Some of those photos are so "touched up", I had to do double takes to recognize who they were. Also, Charlotte looks like a cancer patient for some reason.

When the Undertaker was billed from Death Valley in the early 90s I lived near there and knowing where he is now(actually living close to him) I don't want to run into him in his human form. The Undertaker is the last shred of convinced darkness and dread I still believe in. Fuckin' crazy how long his run has been

#1-norm-fan 03-04-2020 01:15 AM

Now he sends tweets in defense of his wife. The wrestling world is weird now.

If Bruiser Brody were alive today, do you suppose he’d be in a Twitter war with Sammy Guevara?

Y'all really latched onto that. Sorry it hit a sore spot. Thought it was worth mentioning when you look into your average AEW audience.

Probably a good thing for AEW, by proxy. New Japan are probably more likely to get skittish if WWE and AJPW start cross-promoting. Might get them to join AEW, even though they are a philosophical mismatch.

Be interesting to see if this footage is ever found, though wwf at the time was all about Hogan and if the reactions weren't in his favour the footage was likely buried.
