If they do that rumored cruiserweight show on the network, KENTA would be a huge get. It'd be funny to hear the announcers rip him for stealing from Bryan and Punk.

I think they'd be great as a tag team, with Devitt as the mouthpiece.

KENTA invented both the Go To Sleep, and the Busaiku Knee (Bryan's running knee finish). Wonder if they'd let him use either of them if he came over.

this doesn't surprise me, well DeVitt anyway. Almost expect him to get signed this year, fits that "recent mould" when in terms of the "name" indy guys they've been signing. Actually has a bit of a personality as well.

Fucking awesome.

95% of the roster are cruiserweights

Do they have El Dandy?

Sadly, I don't see the aesthetics of the business going back to Dick Murdoch and later year Don Muraco, or Samoa Joe.

I doubt it.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, WWE has signed a new five year deal with SkyTV. The deal would give Sky the rights to RAW, SmackDown and Main Event through 2019 in Great Britain and Ireland. The deal will also include them carrying the 12 PPV events on Sky Sports Box Office as PPV events. While the financial deals were not revealed, the deal is believed to be at least three times what WWE’s last deal with Sky was for.

Ah well the Network might not be the same here if all the PPVs are moving to box office.

The one thing is, with all the new money coming in, all the wrestlers should make far more because the revenue will be way higher presumably come October when the new TV deals are in place. However, wrestlers have never been paid a cut of the TV deals in the past, and the bulk of their income is either their downside guarantee if they are hurt or not used well, or a formula based on the house show revenue, the PPV revenue, how their merchandise does and a fee from the video game. The network won’t hurt house show revenue significantly or at all. It may hurt PPV revenue a lot, and may hurt revenue on DVDs somewhat.

So that’s a situation to look at. But if PPV and DVD business goes down with the network, but the company gets as much or more revenue based on network subscribers, what cut of the network will the wrestlers be getting is a real issue. In a sense, with more revenue coming in presumably, wrestlers should be paid better. Yet at the same time, with so much of that income more guaranteed rather than generated based on individuals, when it comes to the key guys and big moneymakers, how will their value be measured?

AJ Styles was recently threatened with a restraining order from TNA corporate offices for appearing on radio stations and speaking events talking about the situation in TNA. The claim that unless AJ could prove his claims with a burden of proof then anything negative he said could be viewed as slander and they would take the necessary legal action against him. A scheduled speaking event in the UK has been postponed until July.

Right now Hogan isn’t scheduled to do anything physical and the story we’ve heard is he won’t be allowed to do so based on his physical.

As for Christian, while he is listed in the match, and at press time is scheduled in the match, it is under consideration to injure him and have someone take his place.

lol wtf at the "it is under consideration to injure him" bit.

TNA's investor is.......

SPOILER: show

...

Wow, they could be bought for THAT cheap?

What match is/was Christian booked in?

SPOILER: show

Oh, wow. He would seem a little out of place in that match.

Cheap? The guy's loaded. Don't you remember that contract he got from WWE when he was the most sought after free agent in wrestling!? BALLIN'!

I miss MVP in meaningful situations. :(

No- because it'll remind everyone that CM Punk is still a person who I'm pretty sure owns his name.

No- Because YES YES YES!

I think you should have added a spoiler tag to the benefit of everyone who didn't see the Rumble, or people who didn't see the intro to Raw.

What. You want a name? It's no one major, not a wrestler or anything. I suspect perhaps 3% of the forum would know who he is based on name alone.

It's obviously Freddie Prinze Jr.

Looks like

SPOILER: show

3% means he's at least somewhat famous. Spill it.

Would 3% be too high or too low for that guess?

Can we at least get some Guess Who/Mr. McMahon's illegitimate son "this person does NOT have brown hair" clues going here, Blitz?

bought a copy of this the other day:

while i like the fact that it has an early verison of weird al's "my bologna" on it, the reason i picked it up was because of freddie blassie's "pencil neck geek." didn't even know it existed. where have i been?

Plus all the other comments under my post on this page.

Was looking for the thread about it but gave up and posted it quick in this thread.

Yeah, I was going to make a thread about it, but I wasn't THAT excited. Slik will no doubt make one later.

What are they calling him?
