This Raw after Wrestlemania 14 has really shitty matches so far. Squash match between LOD and Los Boricuas followed by a squash match between Kurrgan and Chainz of the DOA. Today's match quality is sooooooooo much better than the beloved Attitude Era.

And now Jeff Jarrett is riding a fucking horse...to his squash match.

Aguila's in big trouble now.

Wish I could rep this post.

Thats what made the era so great. Wasn't the cursing or the edginess per se...it was that everyone had creative direction. You legit didn't know who was going to win the Rumble, or KOTR, etc.

Del Rio managed to get his no compete clause tossed out after legal threats. Supposedly the clause would not hold in court but because wrestlers are more worried about possibly being blacklisted by the WWE, its never been really challenged until now.

Del Rio reportedly got the non-compete clause that WWE was trying to enforce thrown out. Here is a translated quote, courtesy of SuperLuchas.net:

"It is unconstitutional that you can not work ... thanks to lawyers and support of AAA, I can fight without any problems."

There is the deal in place as far as money goes but the agreement is WWE can book him as champion for Monday’s and PPVs based on when they feel they want him. Essentially he can work every PPV until Mania if that’s what they want and agree to pay whatever price it is, or they can use him only on a few shows between now and Mania. There is an agreement in place that allows them to increase dates on a pro-rate basis.

After pushing the idea very hard on Monday's Raw and yesterday online, WWE has removed all references of their invitation to NFL player Michael Sam from their website.

There have reportedly been some changes to the WWE's creative team. According to reports, NXT head writer Steven Guerrieri has been named the new lead writer for Smackdown. Ryan Ward, who was the head writer for Smackdown, has been re-assigned as the lead writer for the NXT brand.

Quote:

PWInsider and the Talk Is TNA podcast both report that there's talk of more TNA office departures in the last week.

Talk Is TNA reports that TNA live events are on hiatus for the foreseeable future as the company is focusing on TV for now. Some of the releases in the last week were reportedly from the live event department.

Some other news and notes includes Charlotte likely gets promoted soon if she looses at NXT Takeover 2, the backstage announcer for NXT recently left the WWE, and WWE's been misjudging how popular Reigns really is these past few weeks with the last RAW episode as them finally noticing.

Damn. Dixie putting her body on the line for the company. Kinda have a new respect for her.

Also, I don't believe that Cena beating Lesnar is actually even an option but damn, the internets are gonna be awesome if it happens.

I thought Dixie landed pretty hard on that table spot, but I didn't realize she was actually injured.

psyched for smackdown to be getting the lead nxt writer, but not for the smackdown dude going to nxt.

They probably still won't let Smackdown matter.

Smackdown might get better. The former head writer of Smackdown might get better.

i'm hoping for both. of course the smackdown dude still has to deal with the scraps of raw, so we'll see what he can do with that.

The Smackdown dude used to be the head writer of NXT before he got promoted. Think he got promoted around the time of NXT Arrival.

Smackdown did get a bit better once he arrived for a while before going back to the usual neglected or RAW recap focused show.

interesting. had no idea. i don't generally pay attention to who writes what.

Hm. Maybe the two of them can cycle between shows every couple months?

Had to look up the name since I couldn't remember if he was the same guy as last time.

On paper it should be a great move but wouldn't be surprised if the new head guy struggles just like the former one. Only real benefit is at least Smackdown doesn't suffer as much from the constant rewrites like RAW does.

If they go with Cena wins then cash in loss same night, there probably won't be much complaining until Cena beats Rollins in the rematch. The only upside would be the potential for Rollins/Ambrose HIAC for the belt, but Im betting its Rollins/Cena instead.

Why do they complain about Brock being a part time champ when Hogan only competed in SNMEs, PPVs and rarely on House Shows?

I don't know who "they" are.... but perhaps because the events are 20 years apart and times, expectations, culture, etc... have changed.

Its not like the Champion wrestles on every single show anyway. The only difference is they usually are at least there to cut a promo. Paying Lesnar to show up and cut promos (which he sucks at) is stupid since they can use Heyman. Ultimately I don't have a problem with Lesnar as champion, it elevates the belt and PPVs..

Can we get a mod to combine all of the posts that TheDarkeness made by cutting and pasting Vince Russo's blog?

Supposedly one of the scripts for the past RAW was recently leaked. The biggest changes between that version and RAW shown included Ceasro pinning Sheamus in the tag match and the Bellas segment having different stuff done.

Also means RAW went through at least a minimum of 4 versions before the WWE settled on what got shown.

The Rock has an interesting stance when it comes to Shawn Michaels. He doesn't care about facing him. I would like to get some more insight on the subject.

There's some heat between them from when Rock debuted. Think Michaels kinda shit on Rock at the time.

According to this article, the animosity goes back beyond that.

http://www.examiner.com/article/the-...-michaels-heat

Yeah from what I recall its a lot deeper than that. Something about Michaels trying to bury him early on, but Bret kinda being the saving grace, hence why Rock uses the sharpshooter as homage. Then some deal about Shawn disrespecting Rocks mom at a territory some time before the Attitude Era. Apparently they made amends in 2008.
