  1. Outcome of Lesnar vs Reigns

    If Brock really wanted to screw the WWE, he'd just stay at home and let them figure out a new main event for WM 31 at the last second. If he's sick of them, he'll drop the title and be done with them forever. Why burn a bridge when there's a chance going back to UFC might not work out and...

  2. Reigns = ticket sales

    Bryan is not useless, so there's nothing to "pls accepy". Dude's a solid hand that can help put on some nice matches. I can't ever recall proclaiming him the next Cena, so I don't know where that's coming from. The guy had his chance and he blew it. The Super Dome holds 70,000 people...

  3. Reigns = ticket sales

    In the past. the WWE didn't always go with outdoor stadiums. Now they're going with football stadiums, most of which have much larger seating capacity than before, more luxury boxes as well. Wrestling goes through cycles of popularity. But if they're doing better than last year, then...

  4. WWE Get the Attitude Out

    I also remember the Legend Killer gimmick working for Orton until the silly face turn that killed the golden goose that made people give a shit about him. He's not Orton, not likely going to ever be a main event guy. But that overgeneralized argument doesn't always hold as true as Kidman vs...

  5. WWE Get the Attitude Out

    The upstart who does the "you've had your time old man, it's my time now" gimmick can be entertaining and get a guy over if done right. It gives him a little bit of an aggressive edge, which is good. He'll probably be selling like fuck for a while, but if he cheats his way to some wins...

  6. “Macho Man” Randy Savage, first inductee into 2015 WWE Hall of Fame tonight?

    Who knows. Lanny insisted for years he was protecting Randy's wishes to have pops and him included if he were to go in. That went by the wayside. Given the animosity Hulk and Randy had for years, seems like an odd choice from a personal standpoint. Maybe they made up. Hogan put out some...

  7. “Macho Man” Randy Savage, first inductee into 2015 WWE Hall of Fame tonight?

    I don't know what is the bigger rib: Hogan being the guy to induct Savage or the lines they fed Cole to promote it from "a biter rival to an awesome friend". Pretty sure Savage hated his guts. One thing that Vince Russo said makes sense, that when you hate someone that much, even when you...

  8. Who was the bigger star?

    It's pretty much the spirit of rasslin' to claim Hogan built or pushed a promotion to the top single-handed. I'm not saying the guy's charisma or ability isn't that once every generation type of things, because he's definitely one of those rare guys that has that it factor that 99.9999% of...

  9. Batista famous, what do they do?

    Blade had its run. By the third movie, the franchise had probably run its course, unless box office says otherwise. But it did usher in the perception that there's something to these comic book licenses that could appeal and do well financially.

  10. Batista famous, what do they do?

    Going back to the original question, does the company risk Batista getting injured again? As in does the WWE risk it? I doubt they care aside from him missing commitments to their schedule. If it makes him lose a movie role and stick around longer because he lost some lucrative movie jobs...

  11. Alberto del Rio Released

    Firing a guy that just got assaulted on the job might open them up to lawsuits. I assume their backstage people, the office types like the social media and website people are employees rather than independent contractors. The WWE may not have seen the comment as racist. It may not even...

  12. Alberto del Rio Released

    I might agree if it were one of the boys near the top of the card. Their Facebook monkey isn't likely given anywhere near that sort of status where he can be making jokes like he's somehow above the talent. I think if Facebook monkey made the joke at a Brooklyn Brawler, the Brawler would be...

  13. Xavier, Kofi, Big E stable

    Wants to be there when an inebriated Michael Hayes pitches possible faction names and story ideas for them at a company party.

  14. Alberto del Rio Released

    It's likely a suck ass spot to be in. Being independent contractors, I don't think they're protected by many of the labor laws that employees have. There may very well have been nothing ADR could have done but smack the guy. Maybe racial harassment is viable for independent contractors, but...

  15. WWE News & Tidbits

    Judges in the United States are often political appointees and many tend to swing more towards a pro-business stance. It was likely a very uphill battle to begin with as I do believe the general trend was allowing more leeway to businesses when it comes to these cases. My uncle was working...

  16. Stardust

    Damn, I feel like you just named a future tag team for the WWE: The Neckbeards.

  17. Jerry Lawler checking out Paige

    He snuck a peek which is arguably not the most professional of behavior. One could even go so black and white as to say people don't exist to be ogled. But it's not like some long, lingering stare. It's certainly not the worst example of inappropriate behavior in entertainment or in rasslin'...

  18. New diva being added to Total Divas Season 3

    I wouldn't say Rosa Mendes is the only Hispanic diva on the roster. Maybe the only one that the WWE markets as Hispanic. Arguably, A.J. Lee could be considered Hispanic, as I believe most Puerto Ricans see themselves as Hispanic or Latino in heritage.

  19. Mick Foley to Make Big Announcement

    Way more entertaining than him announcing some sort of business deal. I take back what I said before, it was worth waiting a couple days for that.

  20. Mick Foley to Make Big Announcement

    Lol @ Foley making an announcement to expect an announcement on another day. Is he going to hold a press conference to announce the lauch of the Mick Foley Network?
