So indy feds just shouldn't exist because they can't field an all star lineup of performers?

How'd you get that from what I said?

Indy feds should be nearly all local performers and 1 or 2 big stars for signings and maybe a match.

Look at Global Force's Roster and it doesn't scream Indy.

Apparently Kenny from Spirit Squad recently got fired from his regular job due to missing too many days of work and his gamble on a quick transition to a full-time WWE job not happening.

Turns out the WWE still hasn't offered him an actual contract yet.

OMG THEY FIRED KENNY! YOU BASTARDS!!

I think Kenny might have fucked up... I can't see this Spirit Squad deal lasting very much longer, and I don't think he's got much chance at another singles run in this era. Hope I'm wrong though. Hate to see a guy get fucked over like that. Maybe WWE will get the Christmas spirit (squad) and give the dude a job.

So your problem is that they hire guys who are TOO big.

Should they hire nothing but absolute scrubs so they can fall under your definition of "indy" fed and be acceptable to you while making even less money?

I think the company will pick him up. That they gave him a shot at all despite the "heat" with John Cena shows that both guys have moved past it. I imagine. Kenny wouldn't be there if Cena didn't want to grace him. The dude is 30, and although he hasn't kept at it as much as he could, he's probably matured, he clearly wants to be there, and he's still got a heck of a future in front of him.

Hell, once Cena is done with AJ Styles (hopefully) and Samoa Joe (hopefully), I wouldn't be against a Cena vs. Ken Doane feud. Have Kenny go around with a megaphone talking about how we all believe in a "John Cena Myth" and John Cena stole his wife.

I found this funny....granted it's a little old but just his perspective on it is interesting.

I feel if they lose their "Spirit Squad" gimmick creative will have nothing for them.

There's plenty they can do with them.

If they do stick with The Miz, they can do something like I mentioned before.

If they don't stay with The Miz and keeping their Kenny and Mikey names and a change of attire, they can be your old school heel tag team that is solely focused on winning the Tag Team Championships and will do anything to achieve it.

Or they could just be a heel comedy duo. I feel both guys would be really good at that, especially Mikey. Maybe after The Miz dumps them, they can go around trying to align themselves with other guys, with <s>Hugh Morris</s> humorous results.

Why not have it where Shane & Bryan don't want to sign them but Kenny & Mikey want to stay around, so they hatch a plan to align themselves with someone else so they have a reason to stick around SmackDown, so they try their best to find someone to align with but nobody wants them.

During this hunt to find someone, they have their fair share of matches which they achieve by various methods, such as agreeing with a tag team to take their place in a match that involves facing someone like Kane, Ambrose or American Alpha, as the tag team don't want to face them, so Kenny & Mikey agree to take their place as a way to try to impress Shane & Bryan into signing them, but they're never impressed, mostly because Kenny & Mikey cheat most of the time or lose.

That's just one somewhat in-depth idea straight off the top of my head.

It's weird that Kenny and Mikey aren't signed when they have pages on the SmackDown roster page complete with their new appearances. They usually don't add people to the active roster page unless they're actually part of the roster (hence, The Headbangers aren't there). They only just added James Ellsworth after he was officially "signed" this past week.

He's totally right though. McGregor is 100x cooler than anyone under WWE contract.

Take a picture of your shirt cool king

WWE canceled their Superstars tv series in order to make room for 205 Live. WWE Main Event also got moved to a new taping schedule as part of the changes made.

Unless a swap happens, RAW is going to lose their secondary show since Main Event is associated with the Smackdown brand.

I got no problems with that as long as 205 does well.

What does this mean for TPWW survivor!!!?

Well Main Event is going to be taped on Mondays, so that almost certainly means it's becoming Raw's B-show and so it will be SmackDown losing their extra show. Sucks for the Curt Hawkins' of the world.

Actually despite what the article says it's possible they could tape Main Event matches before both Raw and SmackDown and so it'll become a "shared B-show".

so does swagger move back to the raw brand

Why are they taping the cruiserweight show with Smackdown if they cruiserweights are on Raw?

because vince hates the cruiserweights makes them travel for both shows

Wonder if Taker will show up on SDL

Probably not until after TLC I'd think.

"I do not want WrestleMania to define me!..... see you next month"

It's not taped, it's a live show straight after Smackdown. They don't want to add a 4th hour of wrestling after Raw so it makes the most sense.

Makes the cruisers the msot worked wrestlers in the company though. Raw, Smackdown and NXT tours.

Start at 5:10.... Good promo by Osprey. Like this attitude towards him, reminds me of a young punkish HBK.

They get that out with Superstars being cancelled and so they decide that three hours of wrestling isn't enough for that pumping live audience and add another one? Fuck me, just do RAW on Monday.

Is it bad that i thought that was a mans voice when becky said "shes so hot"? Wasn't looking at my screen at the time and it surprised me. :$

Nope I like her, but that accent of hers....

When did Low Ki get an Irish accent?

The cruiserweights need to pull their cruiser weight brother..

Im irish as well but the tone of her accent is fucked up, its a lot deeper than you would expect.

It's the accent plus some husk. If she were American she'd probably sound like Sophia Bush, but maybe with a bit more base.

Becky has probably developed a deeper voice to turn off creepers like us. Imagine if she sounded soft and inviting?

Dunno, but I think she sounds fine.

According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, WWE pretty much enforced a gag order on Tyson Kidd in regards to not wanting him to ever discuss the night he got injured for fear it might make the company look bad with recent concussion/medical lawsuits going on.

He got pulled from this season of Total Divas because they felt he was going to talk about the incident and/or E! try to push that as a possible side story for the season.

If true, Nattie and Tyson are getting some $$$$$$$

maybe it'll help pay for some acting lessons for Nattie....

Settle your tea kettle, Nicky Fives.........

Ultimate Raw vs Smackdown!

I'd play that.

Owning every other current feud.

I disagree I did not like their in ring talking segment.

Never seen DBZ before, but I thoroughly enjoy these gifs

Remember when the Shinning stars beat Enzo & Cass in a few matches that went nowhere?

No. I don't watch Raw.

Greatest Bullet Club member.

Unrealistic as hell. A DBZ fight would have lasted 200x longer and been filled with at least 2 hours of the two just screaming at one another.

I want to see an episode of raw overdone with animation like that

Wasn't it a freak accident from a move that 99% of people have taken with no issue? Hardly the company being negligent.

Is Kidd in a wheelchair? I just remember how after he had surgery Meltzer remarked how amazing it was that Kidd wasn't in a wheelchair. I seem to remember hearing later that he was paralyzed from the waist down, or am I making that last part up? Someone straighten this out for me so I'm no longer misinformed

Nope. Got lucky in both surviving the accident and not being crippled as a result because of how severe his neck was messed up.

Lost a lot of mobility on his neck though because of the injury and surgery basically ending his in-ring career.

So reading elsewhere, it might be that WWE were negligent after the incident. Did somebody just pull the guy up or something?

Shut your ugly ass mouth up.

Whoa there buddy. You're no prize pig either

Excellent, ironically I just listened to the Jim Neidhart/Tyson Kidd Talk is Jericho and Kidd is even able to work out. He says he walked to the back after he hurt his neck. What a fucking beast.

Same injury Christopher Reeve sustained..... so yeah, pretty bad....

But...but...Alexa Bliss is hot!

No, I completely agree. Bliss always looks like she is trying to remember lines...because she's always trying to remember lines. It was obvious with Becky too, but I like Becky more. When she is allowed to inject her own personality, it is good. But the insulting fashion, fake bitchiness, "life's not Disney," you're a child, your voice is annoying shit is way too played out and draws no heat because it's like two 12 year olds bickering. At least when Becky called Alexa a bitch, it means shit is on. Alexa is also not over as a heel. She's over as eye candy. When Becky went through the table the crowd was dead. They like Becky, but they give zero fucks about Alexa as a force. She could be an interesting valet, because then her being over as eye candy can take effect.

Becky and Alexa are apparently friends, and they had a good match on SmackDown a few months back, so I think they'll be able to choreograph something decent. It being a Tables Match makes things messier though. I would honestly just have Becky put Alexa in the Dis-Arm-Her and Alexa squeal and tap before Becky just picks her up and drives her through a corner table, because that might actually get over, but I think people want to see them aim for a ***1/2 classic with lots of spots where the table is conveniently avoided. Also, I am still not convinced Becky heads into WrestleMania with the belt. I think it'd be the right choice, but I can see Nikki wanting to take the belt off a heel. I hope that feeling is wrong though.

Tyson Kidd is a fucking legend. I hope that the WWE pays him in full and gives him a spot as a commentator or something. The dude was really developing a personality. Kidd can have his own segment called "The Cat Call" where he goes over crucial turning points in the match. And that's a fact.

This is only valid if the crucial turning points are ONLY re-enactments performed by actual cats and not video replays.

The WWE spent over $30,000 on worms for The Boogeyman, I'm sure a cat training program is feasible.

I'm not the one calling women ugly.

Did they seriously spend that much on it? FFS :nono:

They would probably call it the WWE Purrformance Center until I wanted to kill myself.

No joey styles for the required "catfiiiiiiiiight"

If they were doing dogs..Pupformance center

Court Bauer told a story about an assistant being asked to go get the worms for a Boogeyman segment where they would rain from the sky, and the dude ordered organic worms and it cost $30,000. Vince McMahon (who Bauer) usually asserts no-sells things costing money, reportedly freaked out, went red and the assistant was never seen again.

Way too much smark nit picking for me not gonna waste time.

Any more time.*

That is legit hilarious to me despite the fact that it really shouldn't be. :lol:

I love any story that involves Vince McMahon going incandescent with rage.

How much are non-organic worms?
