AAA's commentator mentioning Omega's belt collector storyline was very interesting since that means its also canon in AAA and a good chance AEW is also going to do something big with AAA soon.

Just crashed and burned hard on that cannonball dive into the ladder on the outside. Even worse is these ladders are the real ones and not the painted wood ones WWE uses for ladder breaking spots to make it way less painful. |
Why they gotta pick on Shani. Yeah that ladder looked flat as hell after lol.

Holy shit. Chessman came way too dangerously close to braining himself onto the floor.
|
Chessman slipping but still catching the powerbomb was a little scary.
|
:lol: at one of the commentators getting randomly blasted by a guitar.
Guess the spirit of Jeff Jarrett suddenly possessed Chessman. |
That Pagano vs. Chessman was great in terms of all the craziness that went down.
This year's Triplemania show might be my favorite out of the past 3 I've seen. |
Crazy ass ending.

Today probably set a wrestling record for most guys showing up at different places at the same time.
Omega did it with AAA's Triplemania show and Impact's Final Resolution show. Lio Rush did it with AAA's Triplemania show and NJPW's Super J-Cup show. Chris Bey did it with NJPW's Super J-Cup show and Impact's Final Resolution show. |
Well damn!

Seems Major League Wrestling is borrowing an idea from AEW in regards to having a weekly ranking system for their shows.
Officially announced a working relationship with Pro Wrestling Illustrated and the debut of a weekly MLW Top 10 list starting with this Wednesday's MLW Fusion show. |

The most cringeworthy thing of that chairshot is Shamrock leaning into it.
|
I'm halfway through watching all the 97 ECW TV, and I love that Balls Mahoney's gimmick which is starting to get over is that he "Swings the hardest chair in the business".
He's fucking KILLING people with unprotected chairshots every week |
|

|
I remember Lance Storm talking about how he'd never take that.
|
Poor fucking Corino took a TON of those. It's amazing that he's not braindead.

Oh my fucking God. I remember this show. This might be the best/worst.

According to TalkSport, USA Network isn't happy with WWE over their low ratings for RAW and have been pressuring them to be a lot less PG in terms of content but also not just go all out in Attitude Era direction for changes.

I had that in my prediction list. It had been rumored for a couple months. Gonna be an awesome episode.

I'd love a Nick Cage epsiode, but Onita might even be better. I NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHY?!

An hour of Onita retirements
|
Wasn't there a poster here who loved that Nick Gage dude.....
|
Sadistic?

I thought someone here loved Nick Mondo, not Nick Gage.
|
Ok that was Sadistic. He loved Mondo
|
Oh, ok.
Meh. All Nicks are the same |
Nick Mondo
Nick Gage Nick Bockwinkel.... All pretty much the same guy |

Seems GCW recently caught the negative attention of WWE since a trademark for "The Collective" was recently filed by WWE.
That's the name of the series of indies events held by GCW in recent years usually during Mania weekend but this year it was in October because of coronavirus reasons. Also seems GCW's lawyer is going to use the same defense WWE did against Cody & AEW by using the WWE Network as evidence against WWE's claim for the trademark. Only difference is GCW also owns the trademark for it so its a lot harder on WWE's end to claim past usage via old shows on the Network. |

The part about USA Network being unhappy with RAW's record low ratings is true but not the part about them pushing for RAW to go in a more adult direction for content changes. Quote:

You know what USA would do if they were “furious” at Raw’s ratings? Cancel the third hour. But they don’t because it performs so well for them. Absolute bullshit and I can’t believe people fall for it.
Would they like higher ratings? Of course. They’d also like $500 million and Alexa Bliss to blow them. But “furious?” Lol. |

Seems WWE's third party services ban is even worse than previously known based on a recent interview AJ Styles had with Inside the Ropes podcast show.
Not only does WWE want their big share of any money made via WWE approved third party accounts, they also have been asking their talent who used Twitch prior to Vince's ban to pay back the money to the company that they made under their WWE ring names. Quote:
|
Sounds like AJ has Stockholm Syndrome to me.
|
What other viable options does he have though? Compared to WWE money, given the current climate, he's wise to toe the line at this time.
|
What are they gonna do - fire or suspend one of their biggest stars? Over what is likely a completely unenforceable contract?
I can understand a low card dude feeling the need to tow the company line and not rock the boat but this is AJ Styles. This dude has leverage and it's frustrating to see people just accept this shit instead of letting the company bend them over. |
Not to mention, if someone fought the company on this ruling and got it thrown out, it would do wonders for all the talent that were making more on streaming than they were on their actual contracts.
Unfortunately though, much like in other companies, the people higher on the totem pole who could actually have the leverage to make change happen don't want to do it because fuck you I got mine. |
Quote:
He has a family. Unknown when this covid shit is going to be over. He'd be dumb not to take the guarantee. |
It's AJ fucking Styles. He makes a killing on streaming alone. Which he would still make if he suddenly left WWE. He'd also easily find work in AEW or NJPW. Easily.
|
He would still lose $$$
|
It’s not the most heinous thing the WWE has ever done. These people have platforms because of the WWE. There should be some sort of common ground, no doubt, but even someone like AJ Styles is making that Twitch money because he’s a big WWE Superstar taking an outside booking.
If the WWE treated its wrestlers like employees and treated things like Twitch streaming as proper third party ventures, then that would be one thing. But trying to get all that money? Especially when it is potentially a useful promotional tool for you is just a sign that the company’s policies need to catch up to the world they’re in. |
