Seems GCW recently caught the negative attention of WWE since a trademark for "The Collective" was recently filed by WWE.
That's the name of the series of indies events held by GCW in recent years usually during Mania weekend but this year it was in October because of coronavirus reasons. Also seems GCW's lawyer is going to use the same defense WWE did against Cody & AEW by using the WWE Network as evidence against WWE's claim for the trademark. Only difference is GCW also owns the trademark for it so its a lot harder on WWE's end to claim past usage via old shows on the Network. |

The part about USA Network being unhappy with RAW's record low ratings is true but not the part about them pushing for RAW to go in a more adult direction for content changes. Quote:

You know what USA would do if they were “furious” at Raw’s ratings? Cancel the third hour. But they don’t because it performs so well for them. Absolute bullshit and I can’t believe people fall for it.
Would they like higher ratings? Of course. They’d also like $500 million and Alexa Bliss to blow them. But “furious?” Lol. |

Seems WWE's third party services ban is even worse than previously known based on a recent interview AJ Styles had with Inside the Ropes podcast show.
Not only does WWE want their big share of any money made via WWE approved third party accounts, they also have been asking their talent who used Twitch prior to Vince's ban to pay back the money to the company that they made under their WWE ring names. Quote:

Sounds like AJ has Stockholm Syndrome to me.
|
What other viable options does he have though? Compared to WWE money, given the current climate, he's wise to toe the line at this time.
|
What are they gonna do - fire or suspend one of their biggest stars? Over what is likely a completely unenforceable contract?
I can understand a low card dude feeling the need to tow the company line and not rock the boat but this is AJ Styles. This dude has leverage and it's frustrating to see people just accept this shit instead of letting the company bend them over. |
Not to mention, if someone fought the company on this ruling and got it thrown out, it would do wonders for all the talent that were making more on streaming than they were on their actual contracts.
Unfortunately though, much like in other companies, the people higher on the totem pole who could actually have the leverage to make change happen don't want to do it because fuck you I got mine. |

He has a family. Unknown when this covid shit is going to be over. He'd be dumb not to take the guarantee. |
It's AJ fucking Styles. He makes a killing on streaming alone. Which he would still make if he suddenly left WWE. He'd also easily find work in AEW or NJPW. Easily.
|
He would still lose $$$

It’s not the most heinous thing the WWE has ever done. These people have platforms because of the WWE. There should be some sort of common ground, no doubt, but even someone like AJ Styles is making that Twitch money because he’s a big WWE Superstar taking an outside booking.
If the WWE treated its wrestlers like employees and treated things like Twitch streaming as proper third party ventures, then that would be one thing. But trying to get all that money? Especially when it is potentially a useful promotional tool for you is just a sign that the company’s policies need to catch up to the world they’re in. |

NFL Hall of Famer Kevin Greene passed away at age 58. Greene wrestled a couple matches in WCW
He could have been a huge star had he committed to wrestling, which I get why he didn't. |

The chair breaking in half and Bray charging at Orton while on fire were probably the two best or coolest moments of WWE's TLC show last night. |
Who is that back guy?

AJ Styles' bodyguard who goes by name of Omos

He's gonna be wrestling Bobby Lashley and Keith Lee for the next 5 years.

He's AJ fucking Styles. He's not poor and he's not gonna be outta work long if he'd leave. |
Besides NXT India and "NXT EVOLVE", WWE is also currently working on plans for a new NXT Mexico brand.
Quote:
Assuming all three new NXT shows are one hour long, just watching NXT branded stuff means at least 6 hours per week once all of them launch. WWE sans NXT right now is 6-7 hours weekly with RAW, SD, 205 Live, and Main Event. |
Whatever happened to wrestling forum poster KIRA?

Wasn't really following.... but didn't Lana just get pretty much carried along by Asuka?
|
That is really shitty what they did to Lana tbh. I think she would be great in AEW as Miro's girl.
What rubs me the wrong way is how vindictive WWE is when it comes to this type of shit. Grow the fuck up! |

With the way that storyline was playing out, you'd think the big payoff was either Lana somehow puts Nia through a table or takes the Women's Tag titles off of Nia & Shayna as revenge. Instead neither happen. Assuming that storyline is over after last week's RAW since Lana is hurt, Lana's big payoff was just getting a surprise roll-up over Nia, which led to Nia & Shayna still getting the last laugh in the end by destroying her post-match. |

Pretty sure they would have fucking talked about it. Lana took the WWE prestige and Miro went to AEW because he’s got a warped perspective of himself and has flopped like every. Single. Act. Outside of maybe FTR, who are just in the same spot.
Lana is not a good wrestler. She was at best holding a spot anyway. This is also how you get someone over with the internet in 2020/2021. People are actually championing Lana. Holy wow. Charlotte coming in and winning is better. Sorry to break it to you guys. But now they’ve actually got the chance to do something with Lana and you’ll eat it up hook, line and sinker. |
:lol: "WWE prestige". It's called a paycheck bigger than what anyone who isn't a petty, chickenshit, idiot would ever pay her. Instead she's getting paid much more than she's currently worth because bosses are a group pathetic, fucking morons who will simply pay someone more than they're actually worth simply to keep a former employee and competitor from having even a possibility of getting more over or having success.
