I loved Bret/Taker from SummerSlam that month.

Lol I love media whore Vince. Remember when he did this 5 minute editorial on Superstars about the steroid trial. He reminds me of Michael Scott's videos from the Office. He's just so awkward and ridiculous when he's trying to address issues outside the world of wrestling. He's just so clueless as to how he comes off.


Evil Vito 08-04-2019 10:08 AM

The Rock confirmed that he has “quietly retired” from wrestling and has no plans of stepping into the ring again.

Not much of a surprise, his last official match was three and a half years ago but it was six seconds against Erick Rowan. His last proper match was six and a half years ago.

Lock Jaw 08-04-2019 11:35 AM

This is just so we'll be even more surprised when he shows up to be one of Chris Jericho's partners on AEW

Hyping up Lesnar for Raw on monday, hooray. So we might get a german suplex numerous times, a half assed f5, and a fat jew screeching into a mic.

Pure box office...:wtf:

Can you still buy an outfit like Vince has in that gif?

Emperor Smeat 08-05-2019 03:49 PM

WWE might have topped ROH for worst fan related incident of the year.

In ROH's case it was a fan who allegedly was being verbally abusive towards female wrestlers and Bully Ray demanding security bring him backstage for a private chat that could have turned sour for ROH.

In WWE's case, it involved a fan at a recent NXT house show giving a Nazi salute to a German wrestler, which predictably pissed off the wrestler. Instead of the fan getting tossed out, NXT officials had a chat with him backstage and let him return to his seat. Managed to piss off a good chunk of the crowd and the wrestlers backstage.

Gerard 08-05-2019 04:46 PM

Goldberg apparently might be announced for a Summerslam match tonight. Here's hoping they put 2 feet of foam rubber around the ring posts..

Sixx 08-05-2019 04:49 PM

Going by their ratings, plenty have stopped watching.

Of course since he's usually very protected after the G1 in terms of taking the losses for LIJ in tag matches. I'd be legit surprise if he loses to Bad Luck Fale in his final G1 match.

Would have taken Okada again if the new season started after the G1 Finals since he's likely not taking a fall till next year's Wrestle Kingdom.

According to the Observer, WWE recently scrapped doing Q&A interviews with kids during commercial breaks as entertainment for live crowds.

Apparently WWE got upset that the kids wouldn't follow their scripted answers and also didn't like kids answering with CM Punk or Jericho for their favorite wrestlers.

Lol this reminds me of when Vince was interviewing Mike Tyson in the ring and Vince asks Mike who his favourite wrestler growing up. Mike of course replies "Bruno Sammartino" who wasn't at all on good terms with the WWF, and the look on Vince's face while he scrambles for something to say is priceless.

Starts at 2:00 minute mark


Bad News Gertner 08-07-2019 08:51 AM

The other one I remember was at the King of the Ring 94 where Todd Pettengill was interviewing the Mayor of Baltimore in the crowd. Todd asks the Mayor who his favourite wrestler was. He replies "Hulk Hogan" lol. Again, the look at the reaction are priceless.

Jordan 08-08-2019 07:04 AM

Who knows what deal they can get, I'm optimistic though. Corgan will have different connections than most in wrestling.

And to be honest with Stom, Drake and Aldis as the top guys they already have a nitch that the other companies don't. Legit heavyweight wrestlers who can talk and work. Very old school very NWA. The Crockett Cup was really great so I hope they can keep that up without ROH. I also have hope they can get Cornette to do commentary, that is good and makes a lot of thematic sense. Who can they partner with though?

Might just be a YouTube thing. Works well for MLW but they also have bein Sports. I don't think they are intending on working with anyone at the moment, maybe still with Championship Wrestling from Hollywood.

Them sticking with Nick Aldis as their top star has been a really dumb decision. He should have been a transitional champ at best instead of someone you'd actually build a brand or company around.

Cody's reign being very brief was also really dumb since that killed off all the interest in the NWA belt generated from All In. They didn't even have a backup plan in place for ROH's MSG show after Cody left to form AEW.

Simple Fan 08-08-2019 03:42 PM

I think Aldis is perfect for what they've been doing. He's been doing the same thing since he was the GFW World Champion. Now that they have Eli Drake it's only a matter of time until he's NWA World's Heavyweight Champion.

Seems ROH's upcoming UK tour is on track to sell just as poorly as their US shows this year based on recent ticket sales.

As of yesterday morning, the combine total for all three events in the UK this October were 224 tickets sold with their London show doing the best at 92 tickets sold (venue holds 1200).

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">This is the 1,200-seater York Hall in London (Fri 25 Oct).

Voices of Wrestling had a recent article detailing how bad of a decline ROH has been this year with ticket sales to the point they've dropped from being being the #2 promotion in the US last year to now #5 overall based on drawing power.
https://www.voicesofwrestling.com/20...ring-of-honor/

Sepholio 08-08-2019 07:22 PM

I'm surprised they are #5 with numbers like that. We get more people in the middle school gym for midsoutheastcentral georgia giant midget wrasslin.

Emperor Smeat 08-08-2019 10:31 PM

VoW actually had them listed as #4 but made the mention that MLW has a stronger claim to being the real #4 due to them outselling ROH in the Chicago market and look to do the same in another major market in Dallas. Also their average ticket sales per show being very good for an indies company and on the rise this year.

ROH pretty much needs to take a page out of Impact and starting booking their shows in smaller venues to scale the crowd atmosphere and visual to a better level. NXT only fits a few hundred at most for tv tapings but still maintains a great crowd atmosphere and lacks the embarrassing visual of empty seats everywhere like with WWE's main roster shows.

Apparently Paige managed to find a new boyfriend who is a way bigger loon and PR mess than Alberto Del Rio ever was for her.

If she ends up in hot water with WWE again, it won't be a surprise at all based on some of the stuff her boyfriend has been spewing on social media and not backing down from any of it.

Things like downplaying white supremacy being a growing issue in this country in wake of the recent El Paso Walmart shooting. Also parroting far right conspiracy stuff when it comes to the media reporting on crimes and shootings by white people.

Then you have stuff involving him recently making transphobic and homophobic slurs and doubling down on them when he got called out on it.

Then you have non-social media stuff like a supposed rape accusation still open against him and doing prison time related to a past assault incident.

Paige pretty much went all in defending his image by claiming everything against him is a lie and the good stuff he does in private outweighs all those supposed issues.

People rip on Impact (and rightfully so), but the crowds at their tapings are awesome. They tape in my city and both times that I went to a taping it was a riot. Had so much fun and the crowd was loud. They fit 1500 in our local college gym. Tickets sold really well.

I highly recommend this weeks Impact which they taped in my city. Check those crowds out.

Canadian food is very nice. Their bars have odd names though, The Velvet Elvis was one I remember cause a gay guy tried to pick me up and then a straight guy looked like he wanted to fight me but it turned out he just liked my accent.

May have been a gay bar in retrospect.

According to Lucha Blog, AAA might be cancelling both of their US shows this year.

Basis for the rumor is ticket sales for both events are still very abysmal with the MSG show being way short of 1,000 tickets sold as of mid-July and the company hasn't tweeted anything about either show since late June.

Also Fite.TV doesn't have the MSG show currently listed on their schedule despite AAA previously announcing them as the streaming provider for the show.

Emperor Smeat 08-10-2019 01:38 AM

Currently watching GCW's Joey Janela Escape from LA show and if Shane Mercer was a few inches taller, he'd legit be Vince's ideal image for a top star. He's already very appealing to modern wrestling fans and their preference for athletic wrestlers.

Also the show itself has been pretty enjoyable soo far despite the audio issues. Either GCW didn't mic the place properly or something broke and they can't fix it.
