On another note: The weird sort of disconnect that exists between NXT Hunter and main roster Hunter is kind of silly. In NXT he plays this inspiring, talent-loving, super-cool boss. Then he's The Authority on RAW.

Given the sort of guys that NXT Hunter backs, the feud against Daniel Bryan almost makes no sense.

Great idea, but they don't need to make it a rule. Just let things flesh themselves out organically.

Despite the big WrestleMania and successful network growth, Wall Street was not impressed as WWE stock has dropped $2.66 per share to $13.86 as of press time.

According to a Forbes report, it was around 14% drop but they don't blame the Mania event itself for the drop. http://www.forbes.com/sites/briansol...estlemania-31/

Quote:

On the latest episode of Talk Is Jericho, Chris Jericho clarified some recent comments he made to IGN about Roman Reigns haters.

"I was a little bit misquoted in that when I said, 'If the fans don't like Roman Reigns getting a push, they should shut the hell up.'

What I said was, I like Roman Reigns, if the fans don't appreciate Roman Reigns or don't like him, shut the hell up in complaining to me because you'll never sway my opinion.

"Everyone has an opinion, everyone is allowed to have an opinion and my opinion is I like Roman Reigns. I always have, I always will and if you don't like it, I don't care. This is my opinion, I'm not going to stand by anything else but my opinion, but it came across as me saying that fans don't deserve the right to have an opinion. That's not what I meant, that's not what I said, that's not what this country is based on, that's not what WWE is based on. I'm a Roman Reigns fan, if no one else is, I don't care. I'm cheering for him and that's beauty of the company, if you don't want to cheer for him, don't cheer for him. If you want to cheer for Funaki or Daniel Bryan or Fandango, go nuts do your thing man, but I'm just saying I like Roman Reigns."

Raw opened with 5,227,000 viewers in hour one, did 5,597,000 in hour two and 5,267,000 in hour three. It is the largest number WWE has done since the first three hour Raw on July 23, 2012.

July 23, 2012 was the RAW 1000th episode.

WWE booked Michael Cole to take a Brock Lesnar F5 this week on Raw. Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio says that it was then announced later in Raw that Cole had suffered a “cervical fracture” and “damaged vertebrae” in the attack. This is of course the same injury that ultimately caused Perro Aguayo Jr to die in the ring at a AAA show in Mexico on March 20th.

Very likely was deliberate since several WWE officials gave condolences to Rey and Aguayo's family.

Other fan reports have stated the crowd mics were turned down during the whole show and not just since the Divas match.

Enzo Amore, Scott Dawson, Dash Wilder, Buddy Murphy, Solomon Crowe and NXT referee Drake were the soldiers for Triple H's Robo-King H Mania entrance.

Some other sheet news include:

New WWE game was announced to be in development for mobile devices and will act as a complement to the WWE 2K series. Being developed by n-Space and Visual Concepts.
Besides the usual Hall of Fame ring, WWE gave away custom side plates for this year's WWE Hall of Fame class: http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/photo_la...2494928861.jpg
May or May not just be an April Fools gag but the Observer teased the WWE is considering another free month for the Network starting next month.
In a "WWE Did You Know" type fact, last year was the first time Kofi went by a whole year without winning at least one belt since his debut (2008).

Yeah, the guy himself was whatever but the character was enjoyable. Wish it was given to someone else now.

Kofi could really be more than he currently is. I'm not the guy's biggest fan, but he's such a natural babyface with proper fire when he's given the chance.

Would be great to have a distressed CJ Parker fan take up his cause and claim that the close-minded sheep in the WWE rail-roaded Parker's message.

I've worked for some publicly traded companies, and Wall Street is 1000x worse than the IWC. They're even further removed from reality.

It's not even whether you have positive results or not. Hell, half the time it's not even if you meet their "calculated" but ultimately pulled-out-of-their-ass estimates that have no basis in anything real, although that helps. A lot of times it's just perception and whether or not they like your company for a thousand different reasons. It's really frustrating.

The subscriber number went up 30% in two or three months. Sure, it was for the biggest show of the year, but 30% is a significant number, especially when you look at the initial numbers for last year at this time of year, but Wall Street people seem to think it should be doing forty million subscribers because they have no idea what the wrestling business or its fanbase size is like.

Really frustrating, and hopefully doesn't dissuade WWE from their current creative direction.

That said, John Cena will be champion by the end of April.

The WWE needs to bring back Kaientai for the WWE's Network launch in Japan. This much is obvious.

They also need to debut a new Bollywood gimmick who has grand entrances every week. If they can't find an Indian guy they like enough for this, Damien Sandow can beat The Miz and then go Bollywood.

To be fair though, this year's drop was smaller than last year and the WWE probably hasn't regained all the trust back from their antics and false promising done last year.

Seth Rollins is now the second ever "Latino" heavyweight champion in the WWE.

Make it third. Just realized that Rey Mystery was also a WWE Champion for like 2 hours.

His name is Colby Lopez. According to Wikipedia, he is of Armenian descent and his last name comes from his Latin-American stepfather. Explains his awesome tan. Still wonder which side of the family has giraffe genes in it.

http://img.bleacherreport.net/img/sl...630&h=420&q=75

But seriously, I love me some Seth Rollins. He reminds me of late 90s/early 00s HHH combined with HBKs athleticism.

Miz goes Bollywood would be hilarious but we already had Khali and Mahal do the Bollywood connection previously so maybe we need to look elsewhere.

Pretty sad to see Scott Steiner was on the HOF ban list to even attend motherfucka! They let a known pedobear attend and not BIG PoPPA PUmP? Get the fuck out of here. You want to come in my ring and challenge me to a match at Wrestlemania 32? I'll end it. Anyways, just coming in to say hi. I'm watching over everything right now. I'm inside the forum, Champions.

100% agree, but hey, it won't happen.

Apparently Smackdown's commentary team is Byron Saxton, Tom Phillips, and Jerry Lawler.

So, that at least confirms that Byron Saxton wasn't immediately incinerated by Vince McMahon's incandescent rage when he went backstage.

Am I the only one who sees he was supposed to be doing it low-key? It was a tense situation and his colleague had just been F5ed and everybody else around him had been carted off.

There's being low key and then there's calling the PGA tour.

STFU golf announcers are way more exciting than Byron.

can't wait to see JBL no selling his injuries on his weekend Fox news gig
