Also, sign me way the fuck up for what they're hinting at for the North American title.

Also, I love the way Tommy Sports Entertainment looks at Gargano behind his back. It's a great touch.

That works for me, but instead of Harper for muscle, pair them with Mandy Rose or an NXT lady a la Zelina Vega.....

Really hope Fandango gets to do something serious when he gets back. I have a feeling he and Tyler might just get a Raw Tag Team Title run though.

Is there any data as to how many people watch MLW Fusion? It’s got to be more watched than TNA, right? I mean, the YouTube hits alone put it above TNA’s viewership. TNA would have to be behind WWE, ROH, New Japan and MLW by now. But isn’t there a CMLL show that airs? That probably gets more viewers than TNA too.

Alexa Bliss is going to be at a book singing in my town in April.....

Meltzer mentioned in last week's Newsletter that it currently gets more viewers than Impact Wrestling although don't remember if that was just for tv or also included Youtube & Twitch.

AAA might be #2 although they did recently debut on a new channel and are in the "honeymoon" phase there. After that it probably goes ROH > NJPW > MLW > Impact for tv in the US.

According to the Observer, the reason why the build for the RAW Women's title match has been all over the place is due to WWE's plans being in a huge mess the past several weeks.

Pretty much are making constant changes just for the sake of it and them fixing or adjusting plans gets quickly undone from the new changes added in afterwards.

Hasn’t Rousey/Lynch/Flair been the rumored match for like six months tho?

I was being serious. People love to dump on the guy and he's not always right but in wrestling, he's the most reliable reporter. Don't get why guys like you have such a hard-on for him. You just wrote a Noid-post trying to convince me he's the shits.

I’ve been watching and enjoying MLW.

His promo style is atrocious. That overacting...

4 jokes Ha!

Good thing that me and nobody else cares about the pre show.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Roman Reigns says he thinks an off-season would be a great idea in WWE &quot;for the performers to heal and creatively&quot; and it could last for &quot;perhaps a full quarter&quot;.</p>&mdash; Alex McCarthy (@AlexM_talkSPORT) <a href="https://twitter.com/AlexM_talkSPORT/status/1103729480332398593?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 7, 2019</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The entire company going dark for months would never work but I like the idea of an “unofficial” off-season mainly for top guys. Injury angles and such to keep guys off TV for a while, keep them fresh and stretch out storylines instead of hotshotting everything. WWE would never do it because they need all their top guys working as much as possible because “stars” = money. But long term, you could actually build stars by not overexposing them.

Yeah, if they went dark for even a month, they'd risk pissing off investors and tv networks since they'd lose the biggest leverage of being immune to seasonal breaks. FOX doesn't spend the crazy amount they did for Smackdown if they were not getting 52 weeks per year of content since Smackdown draws lower ratings than the shows they have now for that spot.

A rotational system makes the most sense and was something Triple H wanted to do for 205 Live before Vince messed things up. NXT already uses that system albeit a lot easier for them since its only 1 hour per week they have to worry about for tv.

According to PWI, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows are leaving the WWE once their contracts are up.

Similar to the Revival, they have been upset over the direction of their careers in the company and were outspoken about it but unlike the Revival, didn't get fooled by WWE's promises for them.

Their contracts don't expire till this Fall but already turned down multi-million dollar offers from WWE to stay.

Vince would seriously offer these boring fucks multi million dollar deals HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa

Cause AEW could pick them up and make them stars again hahahahahahhhahahahahhahahahahahhhahahahahahahahahaahahaahahahahahahahahahaha

Who cares?

If it didn't happen in WWf/E or WCW couldn't careless about japan or whatever other companies Dave beats off to

You say you make these comments because you're tired of seeing people overhype AEW, but you've become 10 times more obnoxious than anyone doing so.

I'm not even sure I've seen anyone here has overhype it. Pretty certain everyone is just cautiously optimistic.

I was reacting to a sock. AEW overhype will hopefully not lead to its failure unlike TNA.

I don't even look at it anymore, let alone react to it.

AEW can beat impact just by getting a better TV deal than the pursuit channel

WWE Watch Along

I'm too lazy to create one of those "yo I heard you liked.." memes

Fuck it

Parevelous Scrambled Eggs Grandma!

Congrats.

You are likely only the 2nd person to ever buy that shirt.

Lol you're probably right

I might consider if it had Johnny Valiant.

That's what happens when you're high on your couch with your credit card within reach

There’s like two other people that understood what my twin towers shirt meant.

Watching WWE from 1999 on youtube.

Mean Street Posse Member is not a job you'd want.

Especially when they were facing the APA

That's the one I was watching. Farooq gets bored and starts doing chops on the guys head.

Bradshaw levels one with a actual kick to the face by the looks of it.

I didn't know Bradshaw and Farooq went "shoot style" on anyone other than Public Enemy.

Switched to 1997 Nitro.

Who the fuck came up with Glacier? Is he supposed to be Sub Zero?

:lol:

Only everybody.

EasyE did cause Garrett loved Mortal Kombat.

He's doing bad Karate on his way to the ring. Bobby Eaton looks good though.

Pick a random match against any jobber combo and watch them go.

It's actually quite beautiful - like watching birds of prey in flight. It's their natural state, the way they were made to be.
Ron Simmons is a kind man and he tears into them like a man who doesn't want to be upstaged.

Nah he's supposed to be Chun li.

I deserve that

Classic

That clip is how I introduce people to Bill Burr

Bill burr is overrated

Especially after he married a black lady, am I right?

He's entirely appropriately rated. Beloved by his fans, unknown by everyone else.

The perfect level of fame to enjoy success.

zip.................................................................................................

..........................................RECRUITAAA!

Bradshaw on 1998 Shotgun Saturday Nights prior to becoming Acolyte Bradshaw was doing a Stan Hansen gimmick and just kicking the living shit out of jobbers

I'd rather take Bradshaw's. I know it would kill me but Hansen would almost certainly hit me in the wrong place and render me quadriplegic and I just couldn't live with that.

Seanny One Eyeball.

I'd still see better than Stan

He throws a couple clothesline from hells that had me shocked that he didnt paralyze the guy. Downloaded all the 98 Shorgun Saturday Nights and it's just week after week of Bradshaw murdering dudes.

Dynamite Kid throwing his was quite ugly too. The Foley one is a real belter. I saw one hedid to Owen earlier that looked quite bad.

Rumor going around the net hints that WWE is considering plans to shakeup their announce teams prior to their new tv deals taking effect this October.

Renee Young is rumored to be getting pulled from RAW's commentary team and Smackdown is rumored to be getting trimmed down to a 2-man crew.

"Hey dean, dont forget to take your wife with you when you leave"

Shotgun Saturday Night was a veritable "who's that" of wrestling.

Hey that's where I got my love for Droz!!

This past episode of NXT kicking off the Dusty tag tourney was really fucking good. Do yourself the favor if you haven't.

Michael Cole and Nigel McGuinness to call SmackDown and Tom Phillips, Corey Graves and Renee Young to suck on Raw.

Cool that Nigel is getting the call up. He's been good on NXT. He'll probably get fed terrible boring lines, and be super awful though.

Oh, that’s just a prediction of mine — I don’t know anything. But you’re probably right.

WWE is objectively bad television. It doesn’t make sense. They wonder why people get turned away.

You know who put on awesome matches: the Mexican Mini's. They were awesome in hindsight. Shotgun is great in 97-98. Lots of good light Heavyweight matches, highly entertaining Bradshaw squash matches, a weird collection of jobbers like Christopher Daniels and Steve Corino. Shotgun is great. Just a little too much D.O.A.

Watching TAKA and El Pantera vs Flash Flanagan and Brian Christopher.

Los Boricuas vs the Quebecers. Lol now there's a 1998 Shotgun match for ya.

I kind of want to watch these Shotguns. Heat and Velocity were such guilty pleasures for me for such a long time (outside the recaps) because they just weren’t as bogged down as main roster shows.

Xtreme Wrestling Torrents my man

Interesting post from /r/SC

That sucks that he did something illegal and got caught.

"That's not inaccurate..."

No, he just made that kid change his plans.

Either that site got shut down because it wasn't "one sentence" snippets being posted from the Newsletter or it was someone else inetad threatening legal action to help shut it down.

Even in the replies that person admits it might not have been Meltzer who sent him the emails.

and pants.

Yeah, that’s the joke Droford

I thought truth was in his 50s though

His wiki says 47

Maybe next Droford can post a meme explaining how Little Jimmy couldn’t have POSSIBLY existed.

The United States Championship was in pretty bad shape at one point in time.

Did anyone else forget that Big Show is a former 2-time World Heavyweight Champion?

I agree on the mini's. I really enjoy their place in Lucha Libre. I love that AAA uses the Mini's and Exotico's to pace their cards. It's always like fun high spots, laugh, brawl, high spots, laugh, big match. I love it.

Can’t believe how long the US belt has been around for. 16 years this year.

Has to easily be the longest running design of a current title, right? I wouldn’t mind seeing an update tbf.

When the belt first came out, people HATED it. So many were clamoring for the WCW design. It’s just survived somehow. Cena had his custom for a while, but how often does a belt design stay around for 13 years? I think it might be a company record.
