NBCUNIVERSAL CABLE ENTERTAINMENT REACHES MULTI-YEAR DEAL WITH WWE® FOR MONDAY NIGHT RAW® ON USA NETWORK AND SMACKDOWN® ON SYFY

NEW YORK AND STAMFORD– May 15, 2014 – NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment and WWE (NYSE: WWE) today announced a multi-year strategic partnership for WWE’s flagship programming and ratings juggernauts MONDAY NIGHT RAW® for a three-hour block on USA Network and the top-rated FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN® on Syfy. The two programs are the longest-running weekly episodic entertainment programs on cable TV with a combined reach of 10.8M viewers each week. The announcement was made today by Paul “Triple H®” Levesque, WWE Executive Vice President Talent, Live Events & Creative, from the stage at the NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment upfront presentation at the Javitz Center in New York.

“USA Network President Chris McCumber, Syfy President Dave Howe and I are incredibly pleased to renew this strategic partnership with WWE,” said NBCUniversal Cable Chairman Bonnie Hammer. “In today’s TV landscape, live event programming is an extraordinarily valuable asset, and WWE remains the only entertainment franchise that consistently delivers this on a 52-week a year basis. We look forward to bringing WWE’s action-packed and unique brand of drama to the wide audiences across our cable networks for many years to come.”

“We are proud to continue our long-standing partnership with NBCUniversal given their premiere position in the marketplace and vast promotional platforms,” said WWE Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Vince McMahon. “We are excited about our future as we further the reach and popularity of our live, family-friendly entertainment programming 52 weeks a year.”

WWE weekly programming averages more viewers than the NBA, NASCAR, MLB, NHL and UFC. Both MONDAY NIGHT RAW and FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN feature a star-studded cast of WWE Superstars and Divas, and deliver a shot of adrenaline to viewers with over-the-top action, feats of athleticism and high octane drama.

MONDAY NIGHT RAW on USA is the most-watched, regularly scheduled, year-round program on cable, airing a live three-hour block every Monday night, 52 weeks a year. RAW has been a cable mainstay for more than 20 years and is consistently a top ten show on television. The three-hour block on USA averages 2.2M P18-49, 2.3M P25-54 and 5M total viewers P2+. The 2-hour FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN on Syfy averages 1.2M P18-49, 1.3M P25-54 and 3.2M total viewers P2+. The two programs have reached 37.5M people 2014 to-date.

In addition, E! — in partnership with WWE and Bunim-Murray Productions — will continue to broadcast the reality series TOTAL DIVAS, an unprecedented look inside the professional and personal lives of the WWE’s leading ladies

I contacted the family last night and told them that I would love to meet Logan before I went to Europe this Saturday and they were ecstatic. This morning I woke up at 4:15am excited to see my oldest son TJ host an event at his school and afterwards I was off to meet Logan I went throughout my house looking for cool stuff to sign and give him then headed to the Larribee Home. I walked into the house and Logan's dad Jim gave me the Biggest Hug and I know that thanks for what your doing for my son Hug is. I went over to Logan laying on the couch and had to do all I could to keep from crying as he looked happy even in pain. Out comes 3 other boys 5,11,12 year old brothers that I didn't know he had. We laughed,Played video games,Prayed and talked as if we knew each other for years. I want to ask that EVERYONE please Pray for the Laribee Family as I was just informed that Logan has Passed away. Coincidentally I'm at soccer practice watching my sons run around and have a ball. This is Very tough for me. As a Father I could never imagine life without my boys and hope that I never out live my kids. The positive from this is that Logan was happy before he left this earth,I met a truly awesome family that I will continue to support in anyway that I can and I Was Blessed With Meeting One of the Bravest Souls in a Kid that I've Ever met. In closing, Love those that you can,Help those that your called to help and when God Says go somewhere GO!! We never know Why or how life will go a certain way but at least we can lean on God!! #RipLoganLarribee #familyfirst

Also, I am kinda confused by the timeline here. He said this morning he went over there and then says the kid passed away. What happened? Either way, I feel for the family and for Titus.

If they have to take the title off Bryan, they should do an 16 man tournament after payback with the losers in the 2nd and 3rd rounds qualifying for MITB. Makes at least an incentive to win in the first round.

16 initially sounds like a lot...but..

Evolution (2, no HHH)
Shield (5)
RVD 6
Cena 7
Wyatt 8
Kane 9
Cesaro 10
Rusev 11
Big E 12
Barrett 13
Bo Dallas 14
Swagger 15
Ziggler 16

First Round
Wyatt def RVD
Rusev def Big E
Orton def Ziggler
Reigns def Kane
Ambrose def Batista
Rollins def Barrett
Cesaro def Swagger
Cena def Bo Dallas

2nd
Orton def Rollins
Reigns def Rusev (via shenanigans)
Wyatt def Ambrose
Cena def Cesaro

3rd
Orton def Cena
Reigns def Wyatt

6 man MITB Match Cesaro vs Ambrose vs Rollins vs Rusev vs Cena vs Wyatt ( Wyatt or Cesaro win)

Finals at MITB
Orton vs Reigns

Havent watched the mtches on the Lawler JYD dvd yet but it's a pretty sweet box set. I highly suggest picking this up. Well worth 30 bucks.

The original idea was to be along the lines of the famous Dallas soap opera storyline of who shot JR (even though I was only six or seven at the time, I remember this vividly since I used to spend the night at Granny's house every Friday night and she'd always be watching Dallas religiously). Vince's entire family was going to return to TV in full force, including his real-life brother Rod McMahon and his family. Rod lives (or at least did at the time) in North Carolina and has pretty much zero contact with Vince. The company had actually contacted him and he'd agreed to show up for Vince's funeral, but of course that never took place, and no contact was ever made with Rod again.

I can't remember who it was, but at one point someone on one of our radio shows years back when we used to have the former WWE writers on during WrestleMania weekend mentioned that Vince, while gone in storyline, would be amassing a HOBO ARMY to try to reclaim his throne upon returning. That was never the case, although there were preliminary discussions about how when Vince was gone he'd grow out his hair and beard and fingernails and basically play a Howard Hughes-style recluse character. Those ideas never got very far. In the end there was going to be a full investigation into who killed Vince, and it would be revealed that Mr. Kennedy (the now-Mr. Anderson in Aces and Eights in TNA) would reveal himself to be the illegitimate son of Vince.

The long-term idea -- and keep in mind at this point there was really no such thing as long-term ideas because Vince still changed his mind on a dime -- was that there would be a number of swerves leading to a will being discovered. It would lead to a big reveal on Raw that Vince left the company to Kennedy, and the storyline would be either that Kennedy got the company or there would be a battle between Kennedy and Stephanie/Shane where whoever was the most ruthless would end up with it. This was going to play out all the way to WrestleMania 24, where Vince would make his triumphant return, side with Kennedy, and presumably it would go on from there.

Think around the time the Cody vs JBL feud began or like a few months ago.




According to the dirtsheets and other news sources, WWE stocks have dropped by around $20 since Mania. Lost about $10 after the Network didn't reach 1 million subscribers and another $10 since yesterday when the new tv deal was announced.

WWE wanted around $600-$800 million per year and instead got around $200 million (barely doubled the old deal).

Also getting pressure by a group of investors that want the whole executive board tossed in favor of new people.

As silly as this sounds, simply <s>growing chest hair</s> wearing fake chest hair* might be the ticket to the big time for Nega-Kurt. Bonus points if he also adopts a full on pornstache... or a mullet...

Actually, turning him into a thowback of a late 70's/early 80's looking wrestler-slash-action star might give him a breath of fresh air. Can even be explained by Zeb Coulter wanting to give "real Americans" a hero image they can truly look up to, like all the action stars of yesterday... like Chuck Norris, or Sylvester Stallone... not Schwartzenegger, though, because he came :finger running thing: *sneaking* across our borders to get famous!

Cody ended up making the trip and will be there tonight to wrestle. Hall went on his Twitter and says he won't be at the show due to medical reasons.

Yeah, it didn't hit me how bad the Divas title looks until I spent a few minutes searching Google Images for a good picture of the NXT Women's Championship for my last post, and then searched for a picture of the Divas Championship after it.

That was when I really noticed how bad the latter title looks. And you're right whitey, it does look like a toy. It looks like it's made of plastic. It's a plastic toy.

It's just when they're compared to the NXT Tag Titles, they look pretty bad.

Lock Jaw 05-17-2014 04:34 PM

The NXT Women's Championship is too small. I like the size of the Diva's Title and how "blinged out" it is in comparison. But that is about it.

Tom Guycott 05-17-2014 06:34 PM

I also like the WWE tag belts. They have a unique but still classy design and stand out. However my onlycomplaint is the copper-looking finish. Makes them kinda look like giant pennies. If the colorization was more golden, or even silver, it would look nicer.

As for the NXT World Championship, the "X" shouldn't be panned so harshly. It is their innagural design for not only that title, but for the NXT brand as well. As can be sseen from the Women's and Tag Team titles, it can only get better with time in later incarnations. Besides, it wasnt near as cheap looking as the WWECW World Championship. At first, my only issue was how uncomfortable it looks when being worn. It looks bad by comparison to the others that came after.

Cool King 05-17-2014 06:38 PM

It wasn't a legit top tier title. Even during the original ECW run the TV title was widely considered "the belt" in ECW not the heavyweight title.

Mr. Nerfect 05-17-2014 08:45 PM

The ECW Title for Henry was good. He was calling himself a "Silverback" at this point, wasn't he? Even the silver coloring worked for it. But I think that once he was defeated, it was time to go to something more ECW-ish.

I have the feeling that the reason for the current championship designs is so that each set of titles stand out from one another.

* The WWE Title is your classic gold championship design.

* The Intercontinental Title has the white strap.

* The US Title has the red, white and blue flag design.

* The Tag Titles are your bronze coins.

* The Divas Title is what it is.

I'd be fine with more classic designs for most of the titles. People seem to mark for the old US Title design, so if Cody Rhodes ever wins that title (and if he turns heel and defeats Goldust, I actually think he would make a great choice to dethrone Sheamus), I'd love it if he brought back that design for the title.

Mr. Nerfect 05-17-2014 08:51 PM

They'll probably just produce new championships with the new logo on them, but I'd like it if they brought in completely new designs with the new logo where appropriate. I could deal with changes to every title, to be honest. The IC Title is probably the one I like the most, but you could still do something new and awesome with it.

New Japan's Intercontinental Championship actually headlined their Wrestle Kingdom show earlier this year, when the fans voted it into the main event over the World Title match. That would sort of be like John Cena challenging CM Punk for the Intercontinental Title at WrestleMania. Pretty cool, in a way.

Mr. Nerfect 05-17-2014 09:05 PM

I hope that it is Kazuchika Okada who gets to win the IWGP Heavyweight Championship back from AJ Styles. Give Styles a few defenses, but have Okada finally trump Styles and prove that the title picture is now his domain.

Mr. Nerfect 05-17-2014 10:12 PM

With Daniel Bryan being injured, it only makes sense for The Authority to strip him of the title. But who becomes the new champion? Kane is in the title picture, but he just lost to Bryan. Cena and Wyatt's feud is title worthy, but throwing it in there is kind of unnecessary and forced at this point. The only other big program is Evolution vs. The Shield.

This got me thinking: Wouldn't it make total sense for Triple H to use the WWE World Heavyweight Championship as a bargaining chip to drive The Shield apart? It also makes sense for him to be a stubborn bull and believe that Evolution are tough enough to beat The Shield without giving themselves too much of an edge, but the ultimate "power" Triple H can wield is his ability to crown whoever he wants the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion, really.

I love The Shield and I am glad they remained together, but it still seems like the plan is to make Roman Reigns the biggest star in the group. They just seem unsure as to whether or not he needs to be protected at the moment.

Still, wouldn't it be completely logical for Triple H to try and get one member of The Shield to turn on his fellow Hounds in exchange for the World Heavyweight Title?

Mr. Nerfect 05-17-2014 10:33 PM

I keep going back and forth about whether I think Seth Rollins or Dean Ambrose would be the better choice to turn on his comrades and walk out with the title. Rollins works better as a face in the ring, but his character seems the best fit to turn on his partners. I actually think it'd be the most shocking too. Logical and shocking? Sign me up.

You then run a Triple Threat between The Shield at Money in the Bank. The Ladder Match stars John Cena, Bray Wyatt, Cesaro, Rusev, Ziggler, Rob Van Dam, Sheamus and Cody Rhodes. Maybe throw in Kofi Kingston just for some spotz. The Wyatt Family defend the Tag Team Titles they win at Payback against The Usos. Triple H can fight a face Randy Orton, who feels that he has been cast aside by The Authority. They could even do a Divas Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Alicia Fox, Emma, The Bella Twins, Natalya, Layla, Naomi and a debuting Sara Del Rey. She doesn't even need to be a full-time act, but she can be brought in for this match and they can hype her as a student of Daniel Bryan's and a trainer down in NXT. It's like a "special deal" type thing where she's come to kick ass and prove she can be the Divas Champion. If AJ Lee is ready to return, you can put her in there too. None of those girls are too awful, and it could lead to some fun stuff that would allow them to stand out more. Summer Rae returns in the match and takes out Layla, setting up a match between them. You either have AJ Lee win if she's back, or you have Emma narrowly steal it from Del Rey.

I'd have Sami Zayn debut at Payback and win the title from Bad News Barrett, who taunts Chicago because CM Punk isn't there. Zayn rolls up Barrett and wins the title on his first night and becomes a target for Barrett's rage, leading to a rematch at Money in the Bank.

Rollins has the most to lose from a Shield breakup, so it would be best if he was the one to walk away first. As of late, he's found something in being "the spot monkey" flanked by "the psycho" and "the muscle", and that's great, but as a character, he's just... there.

Barring anything catastrophic, Reigns is going to be pushed with or without them. Ambrose is the goods, and can survive as long as WWE just gives him something to do and some mic time to build it up with. Seth is the one who seems more or less "defined" by The Shield, and if the other two went their separate ways, he'd kind of be lost in the shuffle.

Now if HE became the HBK of this Barber Shop situation, it would give him some sort of starting point to build a WWE singles persona from.

I've done more thinking on this, and I've decided that I would like to see Seth Rollins break out on his own. I have to disagree that Rollins has the most attached to The Shield. I honestly think that Reigns will come out of a break-up, critically, the worst for wear, and I think it will be harder to repair him if he's not ready. I'd also be worried about Ambrose's role -- not because of ability -- but because he's such a...unique sort of character. I can see him falling wayside and not really connecting. He'll either do really well or just be there.

Rollins will just do awesome spots, cut good promos and at the very least will be above Kofi Kingston. I think Rollins has more marketing appeal, which will make him a bigger star.

Mr. Nerfect 05-18-2014 12:30 AM

Imagine if Rollins turned on The Shield at Payback and then came out in a suit to Evolution's music with the WWE World Heavyweight Title belts on RAW. Rollins cuts a promo where he says that he was the architect behind The Shield remaining together for as long as they did because Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns's egos were going to tear it apart. He was sick of looking out for the backs of others -- it's time for Seth Rollins to look out for the guy he most needs to look out for -- the one man he can trust -- and that's Seth Rollins.

Roman Reigns wants to kill Seth, but security protects Seth from him ("this is for your sake, Roman!"). Dean Ambrose goes into "You broke my heart, Seth! So now I'm going to rip out your heart and throw it against the wall!" mode. Evolution has won. Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns vs. Dean Ambrose at Money in the Bank.

It's a possibility.

His movie star looks will keep him afloat. He currently ranks more handsome in a WWE poll than "clean-cut" John Cena and "every MILF's fantasy" Randy Orton.

Mr. Nerfect 05-18-2014 01:07 AM

The SmackDown before Payback, Triple H has Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns & Dean Ambrose compete in a Triple Threat for the vacant WWE World Heavyweight Championship -- the idea being that they'll tear each other apart and won't be on the same page for Payback.
One of them wins the World Title (I'd go with either Ambrose or Rollins, because Reigns is probably going to be a big enough star on his own, and I could see Brock Lesnar taking the title off whoever wins it in time for Bryan to chase), but they all manage to pull through and win at Payback anyway. The champion then goes on to defeat Randy Orton on RAW and Batista on either Main Event or SmackDown to solidify their championship reign.

Mr. Nerfect 05-18-2014 01:08 AM

The Miz's movie star looks barely keep him afloat sometimes...

Mr. Nerfect 05-18-2014 01:08 AM

Why no Drew McIntyre on the list? Dude is legit beautiful.

Mr. Nerfect 05-18-2014 01:09 AM

Or they could just cut out the middle-man in my above scenario and have Brock Lesnar announced as the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. The silver lining of Bryan's injury is that they can get him back to chasing without having him lose.

Rollins doesn't cut good promos
