Another potential idea mentioned in the survey was incentives for WWE Network subscribers such as giving them discounts on merchandise, tickets and DVDs, or a free month of the Network. WWE also asked fans if they wanted more non-wrestling content on the Network, such as more behind-the-scenes shows and non-wrestling dramas, and if they would be interested in lower priced yearly subscriptions at $110 instead of $119.88.

He was then informed he wouldn't be used and we haven't heard much past that. It's likely that WWE decided not to use Sting at SummerSlam because he wasn't needed due to the show already being loaded with stars like The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, actor Stephen Amell and others. With that said, it's also possible that WWE uses Sting in September as a hook to sell the WWE Network for that month and Night of Champions, which takes place in Texas, where Sting lives now. Or they could put his return off until the October or November events. If they do use Sting in September, they may be able to do the six-man match with The Wyatt Family vs. Sting, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose that was rumored if Erick Rowan is back from injury to team with Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper. However, there was some talk that Rowan may not be back until around November but that hasn't been confirmed.

When The Miz's feud with Big Show and WWE Intercontinental Champion Ryback got delayed due to Ryback's injury, WWE changed plans and replaced Miz with King Barrett in the SummerSlam tag match.

Lucha Underground just finished their first season on El Rey Network after a run that lasted a little over nine months. Yet, fans and talents alike have no idea when a season two will occur. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter says that he had the chance to see a Lucha Underground contract, and the details in them are pretty one-sided. The contracts are generally for seven seasons, as Lucha Underground talent Son of Havoc actually noted during a promo once. What the company decides is a season is pretty much at their discretion, as they can make seasons last as long as they want. Meltzer noted that if the company didn't film a season two or even have plans to do so for an extended period of time, it would probably be pretty easy for them to get out of their contracts in court. Main event talent Ricochet was also brought up, as he performs on Lucha Underground under the Prince Puma name. He's booked for a couple of New Japan Pro Wrestling shows that may end up on New Japan World, and it's unknown as to whether that is a violation of the deal or not. As of now, no date has been set for a filming of season two, but talents have been told they can take bookings through the end of the year.

[*]Current rumors around the net regarding Orton's fat joke against Kevin Owens from RAW was the joke being ordered by Kevin Dunn who still hates Owens' appearance and him being one of Triple H's "guys." Joke ended up leading to #FireDunn trending Twitter for a while with a few big wrestling people like Jim Ross being upset over the dig.

As of writing, WWE’s Owen DVD and Blu-ray will in fact be released to the United Kingdom first on December 7th. A release date for Australia is not yet known but we keep hearing December also, therefore the company will likely be pushing this one out worldwide before year’s end.

The documentary main feature is also now confirmed, and the first synopsis revealed (shown below) hints that the documentary portion will be between 90 and 120 minutes in length.

“It was a lot worse than I expected,” admitted Reigns. “With the internet and social media, I had a pretty good hunch it was going to go the way it did, but just not as much as it did. It seemed like a movement where Philly plotted against me for like a month, and it definitely left an impression. But I think I can say thank you–I’ve gotten better because of it.” ...

​“[Daniel] Bryan is the best,” said Reigns. “If anybody says any different, they’re an idiot. You can learn anything from him. I got to work a lot with him with the Shield–that was like the band with those six man matches [against Bryan, Kane, and Ryback], we were doing those every night. So I had plenty of chemistry and experience with Bryan.

“He is such a journeyman with so much experience, and that’s a key ingredient to what we do–just logging in those man-hours. Bryan is a journeyman, and he’s one of the few that we have, with Seth and Dean also in that category. He’s just so smart. He has a great take on everything, and he doesn’t just think about his product. He thinks of the grand scheme of things in the WWE world, and he’s a privilege to be around, not only in the ring but also as a person. The last European tour was a great tour, sitting on the back of the bus with Bryan in a conversation for an hour-and-a-half covering everything under the sun–we talked about from evolution to lotions to how to treat swelling. He has so much knowledge on life. I feel very blessed to made a friend with Daniel Bryan.”

Another critical voice for Reigns behind the scenes is that of Paul Heyman. The two verbally sparred with one another on the road to WrestleMania, and Heyman worked with Reigns behind the scenes so he could better connect with the crowd.

“He’s known me since I was just a little guy, when I was glued to my dad’s leg backstage,” said Reigns. “Before I even got to that point [in the buildup to WrestleMania], he’s definitely been a help.”

Reigns was quick to name the qualities that separate Heyman from nearly everyone else in the world of wrestling.

“It’s his knowledge, a lot of wisdom, and he’s got some cowboy to him, too,” said Reigns. “You can’t replace experience, and the time he’s logged in this business is irreplaceable. He’s seen damn near everything under the sun with what he’s done in front of and behind the camera. There’s so many different facets to this business–it’s not just hip tosses and body slams. This is chess, and in no way is it checkers, and I think that’s what sets him apart.”

Those notable attending included HHH, Bret Hart, Brian Knobbs, Michael Hayes, Chyna and Chael Sonnen. HHH and Chyna were in the same room for about an hour and never spoke. I had thought it was going to be the day after Smackdown so talent could be there. Vince McMahon wasn’t there. He’s usually in Orlando on Tuesdays for Tough Enough. Another service was held on 8/10 outside what was once the Portland Sports Arena, the home of Portland Wrestling on Saturday nights when Piper worked the territory, for Portland area wrestlers such as Lynn Denton, The Grappler, his longtime business partner and friend, and Billy Jack Haynes.

This allows the player to create their own look for Suicide, establishing his new identity in the process.[7]

From there, Suicide (under his new identity) finds that he has a knack for professional wrestling. After success in Mexico and a U.S. Army Base, Kevin Nash recruits Suicide for the TNA roster.[9] After conquering the X Division and the tag team division, the latter of which with Eric Young as his partner to form the tag team known collectively as Salty Biscuits, LAX kidnaps Young and orders Suicide to go and win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from Kurt Angle and then drop the title to Jeff Jarrett.[9] After regaining the World Heavyweight Championship Suicide remembers his past and finds out that it was Jarrett who called the hit on him.[9] After Nash and Samoa Joe are able to save Young from LAX, Suicide gains revenge on Jarrett by defeating him in the match for the World Heavyweight Championship.[9]

The fuck is that? Do WWE games have overcomplicated, retarded plots these days, too?

He suffered a cracked jaw, his molars were indented into his tongue and his tongue was swollen. No word on how this may or may not affect his match next week.

I'm not sure I'd put Cody in that group though. Might even put Neville above him.

Like I said, a guy randomly putting his leg in between another guy's legs during a pinfall so he can get put in a submission hold is on par with "flying nothing into an RKO". It's glaringly noticeable. If hearing stuff like that mentioned bothers you, I suggest you stick to casual for the sake of your sanity because it happens a lot.
