I dunno, just looks much different. More so than a "5 yrs older" thing.

Think maybe it is her "grannie panties" type underwear she wears with that outfit. Used to seeing something like:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/frsports-bu...f-WWE.com_.jpg

Definitely something in her face.

Mainly just caught the main event and some of the charlotte stuff. I heard there was a suffocating amount of Stephanie which makes me sad. But I find promise in the final sequence featuring Roman putting AJ through a table and it having nothing to do with the authority.

I can't believe that a McMahon power struggle is still a focal storyline in 2016.

Well actually I CAN believe it and in fact fully expect Shane and Steph's kids to end up on TV eventually, but it's no less depressing.

She's older, gained a little weight. Also her cheeks are different,might be some work.

I think Maryse is overrated. She does those stupid hand motions and it doesn't seem at all genuine. I dunno I get she is hollywood hot, but she is fucking boring as sin.

She just needs to become an on-air addition to the group. Call her the "visual aide".

I was originally about to say something about how this should be interspliced with that Vince having an orgasm .gif... but then for some reason, I just thought about the running gag of Henning* magically pulling things from his nipples, seemed like it would be funnier if this were a series of Cesaro stripping the suit to reveal new things each time. Like a gimp suit, or a Steve-O tattoo or somesuch silliness.

Also, the running speculation about "what's different" about Maryse is lacking the super obvious observation of her being significantly less orange now. She's still not my cup of tea, (kinda for the same reason GDN said) but she actually looks more human now and less cartoony.

Maryse looks like every French Canadian early-30's MILF I've ever seen....

Just more recycled Shite from the "creative geniuses" at WWE.

They are corrupting poor young Jojo :(

Was so upset with Steve Austin putting over Stephanie so hard on his podcast this week with Wade Keller. She has certain talents, but is such an unbelievably selfish performer that it takes away any positive she can offer. Nobody is allowed to get over because it may steal Steph's thunder (unless you are Roman Reigns, then you can accidentally spear her).

I don't know why she needs to be ALL OVER the show, let the product be fun, you don't need to cast your stench in every single fucking storyline.

Pretty much why I don't bother with any of those podcasts anymore.

I like Austins. But I prefer non wrestler wrestling podcasts.

You really should give the Between the Sheets and 6:05 The Superpodcast a shot. I think you'd really enjoy them. Lol plus Seth82 got named dropped on the 6:05 podcast so he's now a celebrity

yeah I probably will. Still working my way through the attitude era podcast.

Don't you be bad mouthing my girlfriend. I just lost my Ryback. I can't take much more stress!

Maryse is clearly using the WWE for a platform to pursue her desired career in mimery

Simon Gotch grabbed him when he shouldn't have but the match was quickly stopped and he was carried to the back on a stretcher and rushed to a local hospital where he underwent a CAT Scan.

He was able to remember everything before the match and able to move his extremeties.

He was discharged from the hospital before the show was over.

According to the USPTO … Ryan Reeves, a.k.a. Ryback, filed a trademark on “The Big Guy” back in October for “conducting entertainment exhibitions in the nature of performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer.” However, WWE filed the exact same trademark just 3 months later.

Reeves’ filing was published for opposition this morning — which means any contending sides have 30 days to fight the filing or it’s his — but this doesn’t necessarily means Reeves pulled the trigger.

It’s possible WWE had their legal team push the USPTO to publish so they could oppose. It could also just be a random coincidence.

Quote:

So Dave Meltzer said that Ryback had a meeting regarding a new contract (the current one is expiring in few months) with HHH or Vince. Ryback didn't like their offer, and apparently the discussion ended with Vince suggesting him going home. Unless there is a reconciliation, that's it. He is going to be paid for the rest of his contract. Dave said the CM Punk entrance and the "pre-show stopper" thing are signs that he is clearly not happy with his current situation. Meltzer said there are speculations of him going to NJPW, but they already have Michael Elgin, who has a very similar style.

Ryback was originally scheduled for Battle Royal on Raw.

The three hours of Raw were:

8 p.m. 3.46 million viewers
9 p.m. 3.46 million viewers
10 p.m. 3.38 million viewers

Besides the increase from last week, the 3rd hour drop being very small was also good news for this week. Could be a possible sign the past few weeks have managed to get crowds interested again or just a very boring day yesterday since RAW and the NBA playoff games were the only shows to do 3+ million for viewers.

The positioning is not that "oh, he didn't get over", the positioning is that "oh, everyone is having so much fun booing him", because we like to boo him. That is what they are trying to potray.

In regards to their current stance with Reigns and crowds.

When the WWE was informed that the remarks were coming out, they immediately severed all ties with Hogan and tried to remove most of the mentions of Hogan from its web site, including his name from their Hall of Fame ...

Hogan is also suing Florida DJ Mike Calta, known as Cowhead, who he claimed sent at least one of the secretly recorded sex tapes to Gawker.

Kirwan told Gallagher, "No, your expert should be able to complete his evaluation without copying off my expert," according to the motion filed. Snuka is due back in court on 5/13 where Judge Kelly Banach will hear from mental health experts before deciding whether Snuka is competent to stand trial.

They pretty much saw right through WWE's sneaky attempt at artificially boosting Network numbers.

It's notable that this is the first time Foley has hosted a show of this type on the network, as the shows have usually been hosted by Steve Austin, Chris Jericho or John Layfield.

Some other sheet news includes:

A recent article from Sports Business Daily hinted a decline or small burst in the live sports tv market is currently happening with lower tier sports (ex. UFC) and sports-like shows (ex. WWE) to be affected the most. Basis for their claims is recent new tv deals for smaller college conferences and sporting events ended up being smaller than previous deals. If it lasts for a couple of years, could end up having a negative effect on the next WWE tv contract. http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/J...ia-rights.aspx
WWE's newest book called "WWE: 100 Greatest Matches" will be released next week.
In a "WWE Did You Know" type fact, yesterday was The Rock's 44th birthday.

Convinced that Roman Reigns "the guy" is a shot at Ryback over the "the big guy" trademark

I've been saying the same thing. Kinda looks like she had some work done. Not that she looks bad or anything, but it bugs me/I notice it every time I see her now.

Zayn talking about the Nakamura match on Jerichos podcast:

Quote:

Zayn said that he and Nakamura did not so much as touch prior to their match at NXT TakeOver: Dallas.

"I think I met him literally once. And we've had very parallel careers. He started [at] the same time as me. I think I started two months before him or something. [Him] 14 years, me 14 years. He was in New Japan. I never worked New Japan, so we never worked. We've met maybe once. We never touched and I remember Matt Bloom, who's head of the [WWE Performance Center] now, was saying, 'hey, maybe you guys want to get in the PC and spar a little or something like that. I don't want the first time you guys get in the ring ever, the first time you touch, to be at this big match'. And unbeknownst to me, [Nakamura] said the same thing I said, 'no, no, no, I prefer that', which is a dangerous thing, but it's what I know. Yes, I prefer for the first time to be in the show, instead of a 'hey, lets feel it out in the ring' [and] feel how this guy moves and stuff. So we ended up putting something together."

That's pretty amazing.

Happy trails Ryback.

As noted earlier, Batista was Chris Jericho's guest on a recent episode of the Talk Is Jericho podcast.

During the interview, Batista talked about first starting with WWE and being given the Batista name. He noted that Devon botched his name when he first introduced him and called him "Bastita," so Devon had to re-dub his promo.

He also talked about his gimmick early in his WWE career where he was angry all the time. Batista said that the storyline was supposed to eventually reveal that he was "a rape child," and that he was hateful of everybody because he had no father and his mother was raped.

"That shows you how much the company has changed," Batista said.

We met and we talked but it was nothing special. If anything it was just more about our health. We had some more laughs than anything about Ric Flair and stuff like that. Triple H was very cordial to me and treated me like a million bucks. He treated me great and I have no complaints about anything. He treated me really good and so did Stephanie for that matter. With Stephanie I felt that she was honestly or genuinely worried about me when I had the cancer. I think she was just really glad to see me. Maybe it was the same with Triple H. That can never be a bad thing. I sensed a lot of sincerity there on everyone’s part. From Vince down to Triple H to Shane. Shane was very gracious and had some really nice things to say about me that I had forgot about. I was a very protective guy of Shane years ago when he was just a young guy in the business. I looked out for him a lot and I think it was nice for him to tell me that. That he never forgot how much I looked out for him and protected him from a lot of the vices and evils that were lurking about in pro wrestling.

"Oh man that's a good question. We knew that we were pretty hot when we started getting feelers out from pretty much every company that exists. So we pretty much said to ourselves, 'Hey, let's accept an offer,' because at this point in time, we were pretty burnt out doing the independent schedule that was pretty much nuts. We were doing triple shots literally every weekend. Flying out of Los Angeles Thursday night, getting home Monday morning. So it wasn't much time at home at all so we figured, 'Hey, let's sign somewhere where we could make some good money, but in the meantime spend the time with our families, you know?' With that being said, Ring of Honor came up to us with a deal that we pretty much couldn't refuse. They also said, 'Hey, we know New Japan is about part of your career. We'll keep that on the table as well as PWG.' That was pretty much set in stone, we said, 'Alright, this feels like what's right.' It was the best offer financially that we were given, that was on the table, so we figured let's try it out for a year and see what's up. We're what, five months in?"
