Can already scratch off one name for Smackdown's non-tag and non-Women's Survivor Series team.

Orton is taking some time off next month and currently is set to miss Survivor Series as a result. Its only for 2 weeks but could end up needing another break because he's also in the process of moving into a new home.

The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer is reporting that Randy Orton will be taking some time off in November, including the PPV. Meltzer reports that Orton's wife is expected to give birth to a baby girl on Nov 22nd, and that The Viper has been granted the week off beforehand. He is not scheduled to return until Nov 29th's SmackDown Live.

This year's Survivor Series features three traditional Raw vs. SmackDown elimination matches. Not only will SmackDown be shorthanded on that front, but it looks like Orton's ongoing storyline with Bray Wyatt will also need to wait. As it stands, Orton will miss two full weeks of television.

Interesting.

I can only expect something to happen at the SmackDown I'll be at in Glasgow and that it will be used to explain why he'll be gone for the next two weeks after it, missing Survivor Series in the process.

But it'll probably not be anything spectacular.

He'll probably be chokeslammed through a table by a vengeful Kane or something like that.

Seems like the peak the WWE is going to get with the Network is in the 1.5 million range and that includes free members. Based on WWE's recent fiscal report, Network subscriber base went down by around 60k compared to Mania week (1.517 million).

1.4 million to 1.5 million keeps them in the break even range but well below the 2+ million they were expecting by now for early estimates.

One thing I wonder is how long it'll stay $9.99 a month.

Assuming since the rumors of different tiers has popped up a couple times the answer is not long

I'm not surprised he's standing unlike some ignorant thugs.

He's hungry. He's putting it on his stomach.

Cool shirt, I think. Would be cool if it was Rusev's "official shirt" instead of his "Bulgarian Brute" shirt or w/e

He's so going to end up as a Styles lackey.

First member of The Club Wolfpack

Amuses me how they push the idea that Kendrick is old, past his prime, with one last chance to make it big at 37, while Finn Balor is this exiting, you talent at 35.

Alexa Bliss is quickly surpassing Becky as my new crush... This is troubling to me. I must go rethink my life choices now.

It looks like that's the last one as the video didn't show next weeks alumni/alumna, which sucks as these videos have been great and really interesting.

I had no idea that Renee Young had an action figure until now.

On track for their best year ever.

:| WWE were the ones who said that is the number needed for them to be in the break even area considering the millions spent for the Network's launch ($50 million range). That goes on top of the monthly costs which includes paying MLB for the Network's tech.

Has to be a consistent 1.4-1.5 million paid and not just because they hit it once means they never need to hit it again to break even.

2 million gives them a nice profit while the plan for 3-4 million would help cover other areas of the company losing money or not performing well. Once again those have to be consistent in order for the WWE to get real benefits.

Don't try using logic and reason with CyNick.

I'm going to an NXT live show later tonight. Pretty excited. :y:

Can you ask Asuka if she's willing to marry me?

Thanks.

She's mine, bitch! Back off or I'll cut you!

King and Queen of Suplexes.

Not Queen of Suplexes and some birdbone.

That was a pretty good show. Although, you know "that guy" at every wrestling event who constantly chants stupid shit? There was a group of them right behind me. Alas.

If anyone is interested in match results, here they are. Putting them in spoiler tags since it has the results of some teams advancing in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

SPOILER: show

Oney Lorkin beat Patrick Clark in a surprisingly good opening match. The crowd was pretty into both guys, but Clark got a significantly more positive reaction here than at Full Sail.

TM61 was scheduled to face Aries & Strong in a round 2 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic match, but Aries's eye injury meant he couldn't wrestle. So, Shane Thorne beat Roderick Strong in a singles match to allow TM61 to advance. The crowd really did not like TM61.

Then Buddy Murphy and Wesley Blake had yet another match. If the crowd disliked TM61, they hated these two. "Leave". "Delete". "You both suck". "Fight for-never". But, Blake still got a pop from shooting streamers from his hands before a frog splash for the win.

Asuka defends her NXT Women's Championship against someone named Daria. I don't recall seeing her on NXT before. She's seems to be some sort of boxer. Pretty sweet match. Lots of strikes and submissions. Daria got a pretty nice pop with a cross arm breaker - we were expecting the boxer to not have much in the way of submissions. Asuka wins, of course. They hug and walk up the ramp together after the match

Rich Swann & No Way Jose face the Authors of Pain in another round 2 match. Authors get lots of boos and D'Lo Brown chants, but they advance in the tournament nonetheless. The crowd loved Rich Swann. With the exception of the annoying guys behind me, the crowd loved No Way Jose. And I don't care enough about the Authors of Pain to write anything more about them.

Billie Kay and Peyton Royce are now the Best Friends of NXT, or something like that. Billie Kay faces Ember Moon, and this is another match that was better than I expected. Billie Kay is definitely improving as a wrestler. Ember Moon wins with that second rope cartwheel stunner thing. I'm just going to assume it's called the Crescent Moon, because seriously, why wouldn't it be called that?

Main event time. Bobby Roode and Samoa Joe vs. Tye Dillinger and Shinsuke Nakamura. The crowd just loves all four of these guys. Singing Roode's and Nakamura's theme songs, the constant "10" chants, etc. And if this match is any indication, the Roode/Dillinger feud is going to be pretty entertaining. Those two work so well together. The match ends with a Kinshasa to Roode, of course. Overall an excellent close to the evening.

Then I had to leave as soon as the bell rang. I had to run to the train station in the rain to catch the last train of the night.

Distinct lack of Asuka marriage proposal for Dark One in those results...

Daria was on Tough Enough and has a legit MMA background.

I was pretty impressed by Daria. I'd prefer her hair to be something other than cornrows, but that's just an aesthetic thing. Her wrestling was pretty great.

But seriously, when someone comes to the ring throwing punches, looking like a boxer, you just have to pop when she pulls out a Cross Arm Breaker - especially as a counter to a submission from Asuka.

This birdbone will put you in a crossface chickenwing and make you humble, ya Brock Lesnar gimmick stealing bitch! :fu:

Aw, they could handle it :( I was really hoping for the upset.
