There is only one Connor that was awesome, and that was the late Bone Crusher.

It'd be like if the Road Warriors came out, with the war paint, the shoulder pads, and everything, but were called Mike and Joe. Or if Demolition came out with the paint, the S&M tights, and everything, but called themselves Bill and Barry.

I'd make it a thread, but I don't find it threadworthy.

John Connor/Sarah Connor.

Connor from Angel (nah not him)

WWE is still hoping he will compete and are preparing Bray Wyatt to be his opponent.

Some other sheet news include the final tally for 2014's RAW endings were 24 shows (46%) ending in a DQ or shenanigans, 10 shows (19%) ending with a promo or talking, and 18 shows (35%) ending with a clean win/loss result.

18 clean win/loss main events actually seems higher than I thought it would be.

John and Sarah don't count because their first names aren't Connor. I'm talking about people whose first names are Connor. And I didn't watch Angel, so fuck that Connor. :p

I don't think they'll get to face each other at WrestleMania, but I think that in the wake of it, we might see Goldust turn on Stardust, Cody snap out of the gimmick, and then get a bit of his feud with his brother before becoming a very strong pick of people to win the 2015 Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

It's his only name so it counts as first and last both.

Last dirty sheets of the year:

Quote:

Monday's episode of WWE RAW, the final show of 2014 with Edge and Christian running the show and a big tease from Daniel Bryan for the final hour, drew 3.459 million viewers, down from last week's 3.631 million viewers. For this week's show, the first hour drew 3.174 million viewers, the second hour drew 3.476 million viewers and the final hour drew 3.726 million viewers.
Quote:

The idea behind Ryback's promo on Monday night's WWE RAW from Washington, DC was for him to connect with the fans on a new level by telling an emotional, personal story. Ryback re-tweeted several messages from fans on Monday night about how the promo inspired them. Ryback told the same story in an interview with Sam Roberts back in 2013 and recently on Chris Jericho's Talk Is Jericho podcast.
Quote:

There's talk within WWE that some of the WrestleMania 31 main events may have been switched around in the last week or so. Apparently there were creative changes suggested for some of the top matches also.
Quote:

We noted before that Curtis Axel worked the recent set of WWE NXT TV tapings and will face Hideo Itami on the next episode. Axel is expected to take over the role that Tyson Kidd had in NXT where he provides main roster star power for a few months.

When Orton does fully return, he is expected to initially work with Seth Rollins, even though he’s advertised to work with Kane on live events.


Some other sheet news include TNA redesigned their belts as part of the move to Destination America.

Disturbed316 12-31-2014 07:02 PM

Shame about Kurt, coming back at the Rumble to beat down Rusev could have been huge :(

That thing about being "banned from MMA or wrestling for a year" surely can't hold up.

No, but they feel like it would be too hard and costly for them to fight in court. CM Punk proved you can't have a non-compete on an independent contractor. They be trolling.

Droford 12-31-2014 08:44 PM

No way Lesnar resigns with the WWe now.

Mr. Nerfect 12-31-2014 08:46 PM

He'll be the exception. Is fighting at Brock's age a smart move anyway? I mean, he's clearly still a beast, but he could make a lot of money doing UFC dates with WWE for a few more years, couldn't he?

I'll profess to now knowing much about MMA. I heard that Punk had signed and thought it was weird.

Did it with Brock when he left, Brock wrestled and competed in MMA during his 'no compete' clause and I'm sure a court sided with him, Del Rio got his thrown out fairly easily, pretty sure unless they're getting paid you can't deprive them of a living.

Its only for people fired for disciplinary reasons. It still wouldn't hold up in court. They should be forced to pay for court costs for making a contract stipulation they knowingly knew was illegal to implement.

No but the WWE is betting that the lockeroom won't bother since very few would ever be affected or its going to be a long while before relations with a big name star really sours to Punk/Del Rio levels.

If I had to guess, the clause about losing out on all future royalties would get challenged first before the year long no compete clause. That lets the WWE to not have to deal with another Punk-like situation for merchandise.

James Steele 01-01-2015 01:00 AM

The merch royalties rights issue is far more concerning to the talent. Don't schmucks from the 90s still get occasional checks?

To hell with the court costs, they're fucking the boys over hard.

No way this holds up either. Money owed is money owed. Employers who owe employees back money can't withhold money just because they were fired.

Arguably they could terminate the merchandise contract, meaning they wouldn't have to pay them in the future, but at the same time, I'm pretty sure they would have to stop production of the merchandise bearing said employee's likeness.

WWE Hall Of Famer Jerry Lawler has been hospitalized for the past several days due to a bout of diverticulitis.

It’s believed right now that Lawler will be released from the hospital within the next few days.

For those unaware, diverticulitis is the same condition that ultimately led to the end of Brock Lesnar’s MMA career.

Whether or not Lawler attends Monday’s edition of RAW, the first of 2015, remains to be seen.

Watched this week's episode of NXT and :lol: at Blue Pants getting an actual theme song. Thought for a bit it was just Big Cass signing it live again as a joke.
