He fits in very well with the running theme of WWE's Saudi shows.

Yeah, I've heard.

I can't believe I'm older than Tyson Fury. He looks like 40+.

He's lived a hard life.

Seanny One Ball 10-24-2019 10:37 AM

He was born an English gypsy into a fighting family with mental health problems who named him after the heavyweight champion of the world.
Every measure of hardness in his life has been fully deserved.

Slightly more intrigued by that because there’s at least a backstory there that I’m somewhat familiar with.

I wonder What NXT and AEW will do for Christmas/New Year's Day

Emperor Smeat 10-24-2019 11:18 PM

Not sure about NXT but Tony Kahn mentioned before the company is taking Christmas week off so maybe a replay of the week before or a highlight show like WWE did for RAW for a couple of years.

Bad News Gertner 10-25-2019 12:27 AM

If you wanna check out some 80's wrestling videos on youtube, The Wrestling Collector is back posting on youtube and the stuff he's been posting is incredible. I think I've already downloaded 10 of his videos since he reopened his account last month.

I know we're both tremendously cool and aloof and all that great stuff but I have to say that your enthusiasm is a massive influence on my desire to watch it again.

I'm pretty much finished with Jim Cornette podcasts. I stopped listening to the Experience a while ago and have decided no more Drive Thru.

Too much old man yelling at cloud

Emperor Smeat 10-25-2019 06:36 PM

If WWE was expecting or planning for Tyson Fury to help boost their viewership numbers in the UK, the opposite happened instead.

Supposedly this week's episode of RAW only had 3k viewers in the region.

Raw on 10/21 did 3,000 viewers. It was so bad people thought it was a computer glitch but we’re told the data was sound


Evil Vito 10-25-2019 07:54 PM

Matt Hardy’s teasing the return of Broken/Woken Matt. This is after months of trying to get his Big Money Matt character used to no avail.

Dude’s just desperate to get back on TV in any capacity since the company appears to have no plans to use him without Jeff.

Haha I will literally drop everything I'm doing and go to my computer if I come across something on my phone that I don't have in my collection, especially 1984 WWF footage.. It's so awesome coming across something cool that hasn't been seen since it first aired.

I want to see him with an evil trainer gimmick in NXT. He can keep his hair and call himself “Professor Matt Hardy.” Let him rough up some jobbers then stick him with Cameron Grimes.

I feel bad for you if you're still watching Raw or Smackdown. With Impact coming out his week (yeah I'm gonna give them a month long shot), NWA, MLW, and AEW I'm so full on wrestling. Honestly so full I don't even watch NJPW right now. I probably will once they get a proper English version of WORLD for me to enjoy.

With NXT now airing live, the Observer reported that wrestlers are now also required to do a full rehearsal every Tuesday night. Previously, NXT would tape every month or so.

David Starr, an independent wrestler who has been a strong proponent for workers’ rights and unionization for pro wrestlers, said that he has “literally spoken to NXT talent that has been bumped up to TV recently and they had a roster meeting with management where they were told their TV pay raises weren’t coming.”

Depending on when that roster meeting happened, it could be the same thing that Squared Circle Sirens reported a couple weeks ago that caused the NXT locker room to be in a very pissed mood prior to that week's tapings.

Like with a lot of things in WWE, the company's answer to fix NXT's ratings woes isn't to bother fixing or improve the show itself but instead just make things even more bloated.

Their newest idea is to air a one hour recap show of last week's episode prior to the start of this week's episode on USA Network.

Wouldn't be surprised if that sticks going forward since they've already tried a bunch of stuff and are growing more desperate to destroy AEW before it secures a strong foothold on television.

WWE released their fiscal report earlier today and their stocks took a big hit as a result. Getting very close to hitting half of its value from the high it had last year.

WWE letting its developmental system and its main shows become close enough to where a “war of the worlds” between the two on one of their biggest yearly events isn’t COMPLETELY batshit crazy is very telling.

Seems ROH lied about Joey Mercury's recent departure from the company being "mutual" since he's been airing a lot of dirt on the company's management.

Biggest allegations are the unsafe workplace environment in regards to the lack of medical staff and security for shows, as well as providing improper care for talent after they suffered injuries.

- Calls out Gilleland and ROH for not implementing proper concussion protocol and accuses of Gilleland of allowing Kelly Klein to travel to South Africa to wrestle despite having a "brain injury."

- Recalls treating Flip Gordon's elbow dislocation with the help of Bandido and Brody King instead of ROH providing proper care.
