lol amazing.

They don't want Raven on the network, but they're fine with a guy who murdered his wife and son.

Big Vic 10-06-2017 04:01 PM

Used to love Heat until SD showed up.

It's more to do with the lawsuit. It's regarding royalties, so they aren't uploading Heat or Thunder because of Raven and Buff Bagwell.

To be fair, WWE did spend years trying to do everything possible to erase Benoit from their history till the Network showed up.

Then again they did manage to almost completely erase someone else from the Network although due to a different lawsuit and the guy being a sex offender I think.

Oh I realize that it's just...telling of the way things are these days that a company is more concerned with a royalties issue than the whole benoit thing.

It shouldn't be surprising to me at all. I dunno.

If it’s anything like the rest of the stuff they upload we’ll get 20-25 episodes per year selected seemingly at random.

Battle Royal. Or a Bollywood vs. Hollywood feud with The Miz. Segment with The Rock. I dunno.

That's the black and white background image. I was talking about the other one.

Bullet Club shirts at Hot Topic are buy 1 get 1 half off. I got Kenny Omega and Marty Scurrl. I think I can get away with wearing the Villain Club shirt a lot more

Fightful's data analyst Brandon Howard recently posted some stuff about the WWE with some of the biggest takeaways being:
  • The average for weekly crowds this year is on track to be smaller for RAW and bigger for Smackdown compared to last year.
  • Both brands are currently averaging more viewers for this year's NFL season than last year's.

Considering the Attitude Era crowds seemed to pop for everybody forever it's kinda depressing to hear a pin drop when Dusty's theme hit.

September the worst since 2014. A cute spin, but it only refutes the "sky is falling" people, who are obviously not being literal. It's possible to say "these attendance numbers are shitty" and then go back and make that case reasonably with the numbers.

Thetharo LOL wtf WWE

Fignuts 10-08-2017 02:03 AM

I wanna say that I feel like Bullet Club has run it's course, but people on both sides of the ocean still buy their shit like hot cakes so what do I know.

They could make upwards of $200 off that shirt. The WrestleMania fireworks budget is getting bigger and bigger!

Mr. Nerfect 10-08-2017 02:18 AM

When people say hotcakes, they just mean "slightly more than other wrestling shirts," right? I'm not a fan of them, but it baffles me that the WWE haven't tried to monetize The Balor Club yet. Regardless of whether or not something is your cup of tea or not, stick your finger in the wind and see what you can dupe people out of.

The same goes for this Matt Hardy stuff. It's asinine and people are going to see it and go "wtf," but you might as well see if you can milk it a little bit before you go back to Mid-Card Matt.

Fignuts 10-08-2017 04:32 AM

In the US it's just shirts, but if you watch events in Japan you see people wearing all kinds of bullet club merch while holding a big bullet club flag or some shit.

I just feel like their roster is becoming bloated and there are a couple guys like Tama Tonga and Chase Owens who are actually being held back by being a part of it.

I actually wouldn't be against the elite separating from the bullet club, with Tama Tonga taking over as the leader. Dude turned it on in a big way this summer, and he deserves to move up to that next level imo. Bad Luck Fale can tag with Tonga Roa, giving you a VERY intimidating meat mountain of a team.

Jordan 10-08-2017 08:52 AM

I just finished the last few months of Nitro, and I gotta say... pretty damn entertaining all around. Without my judgement of the time, the shows were very watchable minus anything involving The Cat and Mike Sanders.

Cool King 10-08-2017 12:12 PM

I watched the highlights of Raw this morning as there was nothing else on TV at the time and the editing team of the highlight show added loud cheers to Roman Reigns' entrance and pretty much everything he does.

Vastardikai 10-08-2017 12:14 PM

I'd take Fale, Guerillas, Scruill, and Hangman, leave the rest. Maybe keep the Tokyo Pimp around just because I liked the Godfather in WWE.

Yeah, the Bullet Club momentum is fading slightly in Japan for Los Ingobernables De Japon, but NJPW has these big stables for everyone like CHAOS so they might not split off The Elite. Marty, Bucks and Cody wrestle so much in the US that they keep the Bullet Club visible there too.

Santino is a piece of shit. Guess he didn't know somebody was filming.

Cool King 10-08-2017 04:45 PM

Thinking about it now, I actually prefer "Air Boom Kofi" to "New Day Kofi".
