I watched the hell out of that ages ago. Funny to learn exactly how arbitrary the decision to scale down action figures to the widely used 3 1/2 was.

According to Triple H, all the British indies that have shut down since WWE got involved in the region with NXT UK deserved their demise and claims WWE's involvement was not a bad thing.

Claims the only ones shutting down have been those who pay their talent terrible or don't care for their well-being despite the opposite being true for a few that have shut down.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Holy shit HHH just basically says &quot;Yeah, we're putting some indies out of business, but just the ones that have shoddy equipment and endanger the wrestlers&quot;.

The companies that WWE has worked for as of late are the ones Triple H said are cultivating talent.

“I think all of that is important in that this feeder system of what the business is. People that have misunderstood, like when we went to the UK, what we were trying to accomplish there because of small thinking or short sightedness. Yes, some of these indies are going to go away. The ones that are going to go away, the ones that were paying you $25 when they promised you $75, the ones that have a ring that wouldn’t hold up and didn’t have medical care, the ones that didn’t care about you. [They] cared about booking you because they were hoping to sell some extra tickets because you had a little bit of a buzz. We wanted to work with the ones that were cultured, that were cultivating talent, the ones that were encouraging them to get better with promos or giving them guidance, right or wrong, on their matches and had equipment that was functioning and medical care in case you got injured while you were there that at least you weren’t lying there for 45 minutes while trying to figure out if they could get an ambulance in here or call an Uber. All those things were important to us and those were the people we partnered with and let people work for. From what I’ve been told, the system has changed a lot and there’s a lot more of them policing it and the talent being able to police it. There are reasons some [promotions] thrive and some don’t,” Triple H said.

According to the Observer Newsletter, WWE is rumored to be considering the idea having Lesnar be in the Rumble match if he doesn't defend his WWE title at next month's event.

There is no obvious opponent for Lesnar at this point for either the Rumble or Mania. Usually you can tell by this time. Because nobody is obvious for those spot, there were rumors this past week of Cain Velasquez (who is in the Rumble as of right now) and Tyson Fury as Lesnar’s WrestleMania opponents popped up. The only thing we’ve been able to confirm is Lesnar will be on Mania barring injury, and neither Fury nor Velasquez will be the opponent.

Interesting enough, Meltzer also mentioned Rowan could be a potential opponent for Lesnar at the Rumble since apparently Vince is very high on Rowan's current push.

According to Bruce Prichard, WWE's stale habit of almost always starting a show with a promo segment can be traced back to Vince Russo who loved doing it during the Attitude Era and that mentality stuck with the company since then.

Quote:

Discussing this while reviewing the May 11, 1999 episode of Monday Night Raw on podcast, Bruce Prichard reveals that this is a philosophy preferred by Vince Russo, the head writer of WWE at this time, but will occasionally be altered for a week at the suggestion of either himself, Pat Patterson, or another wrestling traditionalist.

"[Russo] liked starting off the show with the in-ring segments and felt that that set the tone for the rest of the evening. Get everything out. Let people know what they're going to see for the next two hours," Bruce began. "A lot of times that change up would come from, for example, me or Pat Patterson or more of a traditionalist as it's sometimes you sit there with a stopwatch and go, 'Okay. We had forty-two minutes to talk and we only had so many minutes of wrestling.'"

Bruce would also say that at the time, this style fit the product and that the belief was as long as the dialogue was good, the more talking that was seen from top stars, the better the show would be received.

He continued, "I think that the audience, and it's been proven time and time again, that if it's good talk and it's entertaining, then they like it. I know I used to watch wrestling just for the interviews. I would watch the matches, obviously, but I was waiting for those interviews. I wanted to hear my guy talk. And that was the philosophy during this time. The more talk you had, a lot of times the feeling was the better the show was."

Next, you'll tell me they totally planned the whole "Yes Movement" the whole time... oh, wait, he did try that shit.:roll:

Imagine Vince saying this in the 80s. I get that you have to put over your own company and self interests, but to then try to whitewash the entirety of the consequenses just smacks of blatant bullshit. Yeah, they ran off shady promotions. They also ran off ones who were attempting to be legit but without the bankroll or clout to stave off WWE and thier venue exclusivity (that nobody in the world dare challenged ever until that one ROH/NJPW show in NY) and talent poaching nonsense.

They love always trying to tell people they're the heroes of their own story.

According to Fightful, Impact Wrestling was investigated by Anthem earlier this year regarding allegations of sexual harassment being committed by a high-level Impact official.

At least once instance allegedly involved threats of a contract extension clause being triggered in order to pressure the accuser into signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement who was later released from the company.

Anthem claims their investigations into the issues found nothing against the official who was being accused.

Apparently NXT's tag division is in such a sorry state that half of the field for this year's Dusty Classic tag tournament is from NXT UK.

Last year only 1 team was from NXT UK and only 1 of NXT's teams was random guys paired together. This year's tournament has just 2 regular teams from NXT and 2 random guys paired together. NXT UK's side is all established teams.

NXT:

Eh, who cares? Gives the UK guys more exposure. You only need a few teams to have a good division anyway. There's an idea that more is better, but then you get a mess like AEW's and no one really gets over. The best periods of tag team wrestling I can remember had a few star teams going at it.

I know they won't do this, but I do want The Usos to go to NXT and go for the belts. Maybe send The Revival down there too. Put Gargano & Ciampa back together for a few bif matches. Have the real-life friends, Lio Rush & Velveteen Dream team. There are plenty of things you can do to have an amazing division. It's just not the focus at the moment while UE has been running around in multi-mans with Adam Cole.

Fob off Forgotten Sons. They don't work. KUSHIDA and someone could be real good. Matt Riddle & Pete Dunne don't click in my head, but I'm fine with them for the moment.

Emperor Smeat 01-01-2020 11:39 PM

They could have at least done Keith Lee and Dominik Dijakovic since those two have a past history together and looked like the next challengers for the NXT tag belts. That was before NXT Creative dropped the ball with that and their mess of trying to handle the build for War Games and Survivor Series at the same time.

I'd assume Breezango would have been one of the teams had Fandango not gotten hurt but the tag division might literally just be 3 teams at this point and arguably the weakest its even been in terms of strength.

NXT UK pretty much has replaced NXT as the brand WWE only cares about when it suits them and/or whenever they need to borrow something from it. Its not 205 Live level of neglect though. Not even the low point of WWE's version of ECW was treated as bad as 205 Live has been.

NXT:
Undisputed Era
Forgotten Sons
Matt Riddle & Pete Dunne
KUSHIDA & mystery partner

NXT UK:
Grizzled Young Vets

British Strong Style as a whole have cooled off tremendously since NXT UK became a thing. If they weren't such corporate shills it would be a real shame.

Current rumor going around the net implies that Joey Mercury was not entirely truthful about his accusations against ROH. Also not the first time this has been rumored about Mercury since his departure from ROH.

Also being rumored Klein might have been cheating on her husband B.J. Whitmer and possibly with Mercury since Whitmer recently announced they are divorcing due to her breaking his trust in their marriage.

RP 01-02-2020 04:24 PM

I think Andrade could get a much better looking woman. But I also think Charlotte Flair has the look of a woman who will give her man a colonoscopy with her tongue, to keep him.

I remember Kenny Dykstra getting as much heat with the boys as anyone when Mickie James cheated on Joey Mercury with Kenny.

There isn't really a glut of actual tag teams in AEW. They had a jobber pairing nobody even heard of join Dark Order, and LAX v2 join late. Besides Bucks, SCU, LuchaBros, and Best Friends, who even is there? Part of thier problem is that all four of those teams are supposed to be top-tier, but there is nobody underneath. Contrast that with NWA, who has about the same number of teams, but aren't blowing their loads with tag matches featuring every team every week.

Align this with the fact that she didn't even want to be a wrestler to the Ric Flair doc when he wanted to quit and the trainer wouldn't let him, and your quip has a high chance of becoming an accurate prediction.

PWI reporting that MLW is currently expected to be making a major announcement soon.

Current rumor going around the net is that MLW recently signed a new television deal with POP TV and as part of the terms, Paramount Network (former Spike TV) bought an ownership stake in the company.

Droford 01-03-2020 03:17 AM

why would Paramount Network buy stake into a thing that airs on POP?

answer: POP and Paramount are owned by ViacomCBS Domestic Media Networks

Pop used to be the tv guide channel

Wow... very interesting!

I would LOVE to see MLW on a major nework. I don't consider POP to be a major network but it certainly is bigger than beIN Sports. Perhaps they scrap PPV's on Fite and air their super shows on Paramount and weekly on POP? That would be really cool to me. I know we have too much wrestling content on TV in the US right now but I don't watch it all. I watch what I want. And if MLW had a legit shot on a major station I would certainly give them my ratings.

The Oct.27 Raw started with the Nation doing an in ring interview regarding their Locker room being spray painted with racist graffiti. The Rock gets some mic time and for the first time I see the Rock we'd get two years from now.

Other observations.

1.DX are so God damn easy to hate. I keep hoping the Hart Foundation kick their asses. Lol I feel like I'm 12.

2. You can really notice when Russo takes control. The shows are drastically different

3. Weird that they had the Hart feuding with DX and the Nation when all three are presented at heels.

4. Dude Love had a really short shelf life and wasn't nearly as over as I remember

5. Ahmed Johnson got so out of shape so fast.

Dude Love was like Playboy Buddy Rose at the end of his career.

Lol at Jeff Jarrett cutting a promo with Jim Ross about Vince McMahon forcing him to be Double J and how we are going to see the real Jeff Jarrett.

6 months after the NWA thing flops guess who comes back

That's J E double F J A double R E double T

Ain't I great!

It was sad (though unsurprising) that Jarrett went into the HOF pretty much h having to keep playing up that character

Give me Slap Nuts Jarrett

The best Jeff Jarrett was the one who assaulted women with guitars and put them in the figure four.
It was simple and hilarious.

Don't Piss Me Off Jarrett was easily his best run/look.

Bad News Gertner 01-04-2020 12:12 PM

I had totally forgotten about his return in 97 where he cut this shoot promo on Bischoff/WCW for like 10 minute in the middle of the ring on Raw.

Yep, Jarrett hates Women was the best run and profitable.

and he beat the Undertaker on PPV.

It was mostly about Vince shitting on the Double J character which he went back to in 1998.

Why is a WWE employee/contractor tweeting this?

Just watched it. Good promo really. Jarrett was a great hand. Got heat, could talk, could work. Perfect gatekeeper heel.

Bad News Gertner 01-04-2020 02:26 PM

And then he does these backstage one on ones with JR like they did with Goldust and Foley.

This rewatch has been really interesting. It's a very overlooked year in WWF history.

Planning on rewatching the Timeline WWF 1997 Jim Cornette after I'm done the whole rewatch

The worst Sid matches I've ever seen came from either 96 or 97. He had a match with Shawn Michaels where he seems to camel clutch him forever.

Seanny One Ball 01-04-2020 03:04 PM

The match he had with Bret around that time was actually pretty decent.
I seem to remember Shawn getting up far too quickly from a powerbomb outside the ring too. Like he was up after about ten seconds.
