:eek:

I made this prediction somewhere else too. The pairing of Seth and Becky is way too convenient. Triple H’s stuff has got to be a priority. It might happen before Mania, maybe even at the Saudi show, but I think they are going to do it.

While I thought that wouldn’t go back to this well, I’m now leaning towards them doing Brock vs. Roman at Mania too. Thought it would be like first FOX SmackDown, but with Vince not changing anything serious, I can see that and the mixed tag at Mania.

:eek:

That could be coming too. Keep the McMahon stuff isolated as best you can. But they like more of it, not less, which is probably why it hasn’t happened.

According to PWI, WWE is also considering the idea of a round system for matches similar to classic European style wrestling. Similar idea when it comes to handling match breaks for commercials.

Both plans revolve around the idea of making WWE shows more sports-like without realizing the actual differences between wrestling shows and sports games. Also likely won't result in WWE actually fixing their deep-seated booking issues.

Lol, this fucking company.

Oh fucking Christ. When I originally read the report I thought that meant matches would actually start and finish before they went to commercial. Not that they would literally stop the match and have dark ring with ads playing on the tron for the live audience during the commercial.

Holy shit, Vince has lost his damn mind and no one around him has the balls to tell him or do anything about it. I'm not sure which is worse or more pathetic.

That pretty much answers the question last night's Rewind-A-RAW episode had for how this new edict would affect live crowds.

Figured it was going to be terrible since WWE put no real thought beforehand on how this would actually work.

Joe went from being a monster and coming across as a credible threat to Lesnar to losing random matches to midcarders. I can relate to how you feel.

EVOLVE's upcoming 10th anniversary event was announced to be the first indies event to air live on the WWE Network.

Besides WWE honoring EVOLVE's influence on the company's roster, they are also using the event to directly compete against AEW's upcoming Fight for Fallen event and similar to when NXT was used to compete against ROH shows.

EVOLVE was founded by Sal Hamaoui and WWE NXT Creative team member Gabe Sapolsky, holding its first event in January 2010 in Rahway, NJ. WWE has been working on a handshake agreement with EVOLVE for several years, finally officially signing a contract to put their relationship in writing several months ago.

“EVOLVE was the birthplace for many current WWE and NXT Superstars, so it is only fitting that their 10th Anniversary Celebration will be showcased live on WWE Network,” said Paul “Triple H” Levesque, WWE Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events & Creative, said in an official press release supporting the event (see below).

The timing of the EVOLVE broadcast would put it head to head with AEW's Fight for the Fallen, which will air live on Bleacher Report Live on Saturday 7/13 as well.


Emperor Smeat 06-26-2019 05:43 PM

Turns out Tozawa isn't leaving which could mean the rumored expiration dates for the other CWC guys are off by a considerable amount.

All depends if they recently signed new deals that haven't been announced yet or if their contracts were converted over into main roster ones despite the status of the division and 205 Live in general. The initial contracts they signed were for 3 years in length which would start expiring this summer.

Yikes. Last year's crowd was around 2500 for some comparisons. Even the post-PPV TV taping the next night had a bigger crowd than what this year's event could end up with.

Worst is if it follows a similar drop to last year's PPV and TV taping, could be looking at a crowd in the 200-300 range for the TV taping the following night. Haven't checked anything about that taping so no clue if its actually trending towards being potentially that bad.

Pro Wrestling - Trainwreck produced the event. Co-promoter John Glenn said he believes the health department is calling for the testing as a precaution. He said none of his wrestlers were positive for any blood-borne pathogens. He said he thoroughly made sure all of their paperwork was in order before the Sunday event.

Glenn said the most severe injury occurred during a maneuver in which a wrestler was slammed through a door with a glass pane. The wrestler’s buttocks were supposed to shield the blow, but instead, his upper body was lacerated. The performer is out of the hospital and ready to wrestle again, Glenn said.

However, Glenn said his company has suspended wrestling operations in New Albany after the incident.

-Shane McMahon has appeared on literally every single episode of both RAW and SD since the Wild Card rule started. (Upon going through the roster pages, I just realized that Shane's listed as both a SD and RAW superstar now. Still crazy though lol)

That's exactly how they got to Arthur Ashe

Watching the Gobal Warning Tour on the Network. The presentation looks so different. The video quality is unique and the piped in crowd reactions lol

Emperor Smeat 06-28-2019 09:42 PM

Apparently the crowd for the first night of WWE's Japan show earlier today was lower than the first night of last year's Japan tour. Tonight's show was over 6700 and last year's first night was over 7000.

2nd night is probably going to be down as well since last year's show did over 8300.

Rumor going around the net hints that Hogan is going to be the main focus for this year's My Career mode for WWE 2k20.

Rumored to be covering his career from his AWA days till his match against The Rock at Mania 18.

lol that gimmick killed Corbin before he even started because the crowd started to boo when it took him longer than 10 seconds to win a match

Evil Vito 07-01-2019 04:12 PM

NBA free agency is super "over" within the sports world, nearly half the league hit free agency on the same day yesterday.

I feel like if they ever kill the wild card rule and go back to enforcing the brand split, they should abandon the annual draft/"shake up" in favor of free agency. For like a month after Mania, it's open season for GMs to try to sign away talent, sign people from NXT/205, etc. and the company could put out Twitter updates on who signed where.

That way Heyman and Bischoff to talk out what programs they want to run and lock in their rosters for the upcoming year but afterwards, that's fucking it. No wild card bullshit, the rosters stay in place until the next year's Mania.

Emperor Smeat 07-01-2019 06:54 PM

That would be better than the half-assed way they handled free agency with Cena, the Bellas, and a couple of others.

Either it was something WWE suddenly claimed existed and only for those few people or just a lazy excuse to have someone suddenly appear on a new brand with no fanfare after being away for a while.

Damian Rey 2.0 07-01-2019 07:51 PM

I like the idea but guys would have to be locked in for more than a yr. Otherwise making it an annual switch would just re shake the rosters too often.

I'd love for them to adopt the idea of signing guys who are injured, underperforming, or just not being used as a storyline gimmick.

For instance, when Rollins was coming back from knee surgery, could run with the idea that he's a free agent after mania, and there's questions about his health. He gets a 1 yr deal from one of the brands as a pillow contact to rebuild his own value. You (ideally) book him strong for the whole year and hype up his impending free agency with his home brand trying to extend his contract and the other brand identifying that they want him as their marquee free agent signing.

The wwe would some how fuck this up but it's a cool conceptto think about.

Emperor Smeat 07-02-2019 01:30 AM

Apparently Micheal Elgin is dealing with online backlash again and its related to the same sexual harassment allegations and lawsuit that got him in hot water with NJPW and the indies the first time around.

Being speculated that Impact officials told him to clean up his baggage and deal with the backlash now in order to lessen the backlash the company will likely be getting following this Sunday's Slammiversary based on current plans.

Problem was the level of backlash was soo bad that Elgin quickly deleted his tweets and made things a lot worse for Impact PR-wise heading into the show now.

SlickyTrickyDamon 07-02-2019 01:42 AM

They signed him and pushed him knowing this stuff was out there. This is all on Impact.

Is anyone else annoyed by the way they’re handling no wrestling during commercial breaks? It bothers me more than the wild card rule. Hope they eliminate it or the brand split in the upcoming weeks.

Not sure yet. If they continue to do 2 of 3 falls matches it'll get tiresome quickly.

GD 07-02-2019 11:52 PM

What about a 7 falls match?

Mr. Nerfect 07-03-2019 12:05 AM

1st to the 21st

I'd be down for some 1 out of 2 falls matches.
