Son of a bitch. I spent all night last night posting Maury pictures, and they go with Springer. I should have known.

you know, I think Michael Sam could be a good hand in the ring. Maybe not a world champion, but certainly a good hand.

Any of you guys remember seeing the sign "I Could be home watching Nitro for $9.99" last night on Raw? Well, I guess Vince didn't take too kindly to that and threw the guy out.




Quote: From yahoo.com
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6"><tbody><tr><td class="alt2" style="border: 1px inset currentColor; border-image: none;"> Early in the night, fans watching Monday Night Raw on USA last night in Des Moines, Iowa likely noticed a fan holding up a sign that read "I could be home watching Nitro ... for $9.99". You could argue that's inflammatory, of course, but it's also a clever play on the WWE Network and the company's chosen method of promoting it.
That fan is now claiming he was kicked out of the arena at some point during the evening and he's been blasting WWE ever since.
From Reddit (sic):

"I got threatened with arrest. They tried getting my id for records. Fuck the entire company. They kicked me out because of the sign. It's fine that I got kicked out but trying to bully me. Bring it. ... They came up to me at about 9pm and we're like give me the signs. I was like which one. They took one of the three I had and walked away 2 minutes later came back with a big black guy in a suit and asked me to follow them. Which I didn't told them to fuck off. Which they threatened me with arrest and I laughed in their face. After about 5 minutes of time being assholes I walked to th e area where they sell everything and tried talking to them. All I got was surrounded by dick heads in suits telling me WWE didn't like me and wanted me gone. I refused to leave and begged them to bring the Des Moines police department so I could be taken to jail and they wouldn't. I walked down out on my own free will after being fed up with the bullshit fuck the WWE and their bullying."

Taking derogatory signs from fans is a common practice. This sometimes leading to said fans getting kicked out of the building is also a possibility. That said, it's hard to tell what exactly was so bad about this particular sign. Sure, it's a clever little dig at promotional tactics fans have grown tired of, but the sign itself acts as promotion for the Network.
Why not just let it ride?
In an interesting aside, the Wrestling Observer is reporting this fan was on TV for the entire show. So while the sign may have been taken, apparently he wasn't kicked out.
How do you feel about this, Cagesiders?

@cagesideseats guy admitted he was drunk & high, and another redditor sitting near him claimed he was screaming expletives all show

@cagesideseats he also threw the sign when WWE officials asked for it. he wasn't kicked out for his sign.

What a bizarre story. </td></tr></tbody></table>

of course being drunk and high and beligerent had nothing to do with it.

When smack down moves to Thursday someone needs a sign "When can I watch Thunder for $9.99?"

Saving this for future spoiler tag ambushes.

I play with a pro green AJ Lee. I was given a Rare Eva Marie. She went right into training AJ Lee.

I've got a Maxed Out Super Rare Mr. McMahon, but my best card is a 24/25 Pro Rare Erick Rowan.

Zig Stunna.

John Laurinaitis with the Ace Crusher OUTTA NOWHERE.

Also, here's a bit of Rosa Mendes's ass.

Layla The Perv.

Of course Layla did that.

Random fact: Scott Hall/Razor Ramon never competed in a royal rumble match. Fake Razor Ramon however, has.

This Raw after Wrestlemania 14 has really shitty matches so far. Squash match between LOD and Los Boricuas followed by a squash match between Kurrgan and Chainz of the DOA. Today's match quality is sooooooooo much better than the beloved Attitude Era.

And now Jeff Jarrett is riding a fucking horse...to his squash match.

Aguila's in big trouble now.

All the characters having direction means a lot more than all the matches being technical masterpieces.

CAST Y0UR V0TES

Wish I could rep this post.

Thats what made the era so great. Wasn't the cursing or the edginess per se...it was that everyone had creative direction. You legit didn't know who was going to win the Rumble, or KOTR, etc.

Del Rio managed to get his no compete clause tossed out after legal threats. Supposedly the clause would not hold in court but because wrestlers are more worried about possibly being blacklisted by the WWE, its never been really challenged until now.

Dirtsheets:

Some other news and notes includes Charlotte likely gets promoted soon if she looses at NXT Takeover 2, the backstage announcer for NXT recently left the WWE, and WWE's been misjudging how popular Reigns really is these past few weeks with the last RAW episode as them finally noticing.

Damn. Dixie putting her body on the line for the company. Kinda have a new respect for her.

Also, I don't believe that Cena beating Lesnar is actually even an option but damn, the internets are gonna be awesome if it happens.

I thought Dixie landed pretty hard on that table spot, but I didn't realize she was actually injured.

psyched for smackdown to be getting the lead nxt writer, but not for the smackdown dude going to nxt.

They probably still won't let Smackdown matter.

Smackdown might get better. The former head writer of Smackdown might get better.

i'm hoping for both. of course the smackdown dude still has to deal with the scraps of raw, so we'll see what he can do with that.

The Smackdown dude used to be the head writer of NXT before he got promoted. Think he got promoted around the time of NXT Arrival.

Smackdown did get a bit better once he arrived for a while before going back to the usual neglected or RAW recap focused show.

interesting. had no idea. i don't generally pay attention to who writes what.

Hm. Maybe the two of them can cycle between shows every couple months?

Had to look up the name since I couldn't remember if he was the same guy as last time.

On paper it should be a great move but wouldn't be surprised if the new head guy struggles just like the former one. Only real benefit is at least Smackdown doesn't suffer as much from the constant rewrites like RAW does.

KANYON CUTTER OUT OF NOWHERE

If they go with Cena wins then cash in loss same night, there probably won't be much complaining until Cena beats Rollins in the rematch. The only upside would be the potential for Rollins/Ambrose HIAC for the belt, but Im betting its Rollins/Cena instead.

Why do they complain about Brock being a part time champ when Hogan only competed in SNMEs, PPVs and rarely on House Shows?

I don't know who "they" are.... but perhaps because the events are 20 years apart and times, expectations, culture, etc... have changed.

Its not like the Champion wrestles on every single show anyway. The only difference is they usually are at least there to cut a promo. Paying Lesnar to show up and cut promos (which he sucks at) is stupid since they can use Heyman. Ultimately I don't have a problem with Lesnar as champion, it elevates the belt and PPVs..

Can we get a mod to combine all of the posts that TheDarkeness made by cutting and pasting Vince Russo's blog?

Supposedly one of the scripts for the past RAW was recently leaked. The biggest changes between that version and RAW shown included Ceasro pinning Sheamus in the tag match and the Bellas segment having different stuff done.

http://imgur.com/a/6CXSR

Also means RAW went through at least a minimum of 4 versions before the WWE settled on what got shown.

The Rock has an interesting stance when it comes to Shawn Michaels. He doesn't care about facing him. I would like to get some more insight on the subject.

no, those are thread worthy.

There's some heat between them from when Rock debuted. Think Michaels kinda shit on Rock at the time.

According to this article, the animosity goes back beyond that.

http://www.examiner.com/article/the-...-michaels-heat

Yeah from what I recall its a lot deeper than that. Something about Michaels trying to bury him early on, but Bret kinda being the saving grace, hence why Rock uses the sharpshooter as homage. Then some deal about Shawn disrespecting Rocks mom at a territory some time before the Attitude Era. Apparently they made amends in 2008.

CAST your vote, Episode 4 of the 0wned Z0ne!

Reading these really makes me appreciate the WWE guys more. No wonder they want to go do movies, they are already doing plays each week :roll:

lol at Corportate Kane though

I thought the "Scarf" "Pink Tie" line was ad-libbed.

Wasnt it?

Yes it was

Nothing like a giant cock and balls on a shirt where half-naked men roll around on the ground 5 minutes at a time.

Stan Hansen podcast with Jim Ross posted. Can't wait to hear it.

Look at those 2 skulls cravin' it.

It looks like your average affliction shirt, to me. :shifty:

WrestleMania 2 Celebrity Ring Announcer Joan Rivers is Dead

currently watching the smackdown after rasslemania. it somehow survived on my dvr this long

I assume most people I see wearing Affliction shirts have already had a dick on their chest at some point.

According to the script, AJ was supposed to call Paige a Vitamin D deficient Crumpet on RAW.

Somehow I dont think she could have said that and not flubbed it

HHH is a filthy charlatan!

Just watched the Raw from 26th June 1998 and he lost in a King of Kings Triple Threat Match that Shamrock won by pinning HHH. Owen Hart was the third man in the match.

You guys! Check out my sweet ass super international kick.

Those WWE.com guys need to be creative writers, can't get much worse than the existing lot.

So, there are apparently some people who are really into Paige.

That pic of Ambrose's face on Reigns' body looks like a someone I've seen before...

I don't... I mean... What the actual f#$k? :wtf: How is anyone this obsessed with wrestling as a whole, let alone with a single wrestler who's only been around less than a year? Over 6000 dollars for a used shirt? If you're that desperate just go find a hooker. For 6000 big ones I'm sure you can find a damn good hooker at that. Or many lesser hookers for the same price. Or, you know, don't waste your money and buy something useful...

I bet Nasser posts here as Road Doggy Dog.

Or Cool King

I can totally see that

quit saying September 11 guys.

why

Flicking through TV channels. The Ric Flair episode of The Cleveland Show is on.

its weird. They shouldn't have had the special on 9/11.

You think wrestling events should not take place on the 11th of September anymore because it makes people say "September 11th"?

shut down america on 9/11

Love that episode

I'm sure there are people who actually look like all these.

That does not look like Dean Ambrose's face.

Just draw a knife on the forehead, and I think you're onto something... knowwhutimean?
