    WWE looking at major changes to the WWE network

    It's really not complicated. It's in essence the same as any other streaming service which has different price packages based on content levels. Or to use TV terms: cable packages. You pay a certain price for a certain package you want containing a certain type of content. It's a pretty easy way...

    Hikaru Shida in WWE?

    Unlikely. Japanese promotions are very much built on loyalty. A big factor in why you don't see New Japan raiding smaller companies for talent. It's much more common that talent leaves a promotion because of a argument with the backstage staff/booker than another fed enticing them away. And the...

    Some Speculation Going Forward

    Nikki was a bit ahead of the curve compared to the rest of the division. Nikki stepped up her work leading into winning the belt and then her run with it. But very few of the women at the time could play catch up and the reign suffered for it. Once the NXT ladies came along it was time for her...

    WWE looking at major changes to the WWE network

    To me it screams "We do not have enough content to justify a specific pay grade". Like the 4 dollar level should just be the current day product, PPVs, RAW, Smackdown, NXT etc. 9 dollars should be the live stuff and the historical archives, 14 dollars all of that and then the...

    WWE looking at major changes to the WWE network

    They basically want to mimic UFCs fight pass/other subscription services of the like. UFC offers up events from other/smaller/defunct feds for members at a certain price. My Viaplay account works similarly, one paygrade for shows and movies, one paygrade for shows and sports, one for the entire...

    Bit out of order because that is how Meltzer went through it on the radio.

    Hikaru Shida in WWE?

    I took the liberty of putting spoiler tags in your post. If you need to post pictures, please try and find smaller pictures so that they don't take up the entire screen for those using smaller monitors/laptops. I'm on a 16 inch laptop and even then some of the pics you post stretch the screen.

    Hikaru Shida in WWE?

    high demand in Ice Ribbon? Ice Ribbon is like a micro indie even in the joshi circuit. Not to mention that she's not been affiliated with Ice Ribbon for 2 years, and mainly works OZ Academy now, which is even more niche than Ice Ribbon

    Del Rio no shows AAA ppv

    Because he's a bit of a scumbag. This isn't the first time he has pulled a no show.

    Del Rio no shows AAA ppv

    Nope. Ryan Satin is doing further investigating into it. But he's performed interviews with multiple precincts within the San Antonio police and neither he's talked to have gotten reports of a stabbing.

    Some Speculation Going Forward

    Long reigns is not an issue if you can build believable interesting challengers. The New Day is an example of it not working. There's not really any oomph in their challengers, by this point it is almost a foregone conclusion that the New Day wins the title match. This can work in WWE's favor...

    Rumor: WWE buys TNA Library, Corgan to Rebrand

    I think it is the easiest if we round up pros and cons. Pro: TV deal already in place. Motivated roster with minimal bloatedness Relatively young roster. Possibility of long term investment and build in talent. Con: I'd assume limited finances, at least for a start. Non-paying crowds, which...

    Bill Goldberg considering return...

    Goldie might be motivated since he does want to put on a good show for his kid. he's said in multiple interviews that he wants his son to see him wrestle on the big stage at least once. Brock is the X factor I think. Will Brock be a pro or will Brock go into business for Brock?

    Because old Goldberg vs old Brock is going to be much better than younger Brock vs younger Goldberg...... Ugggh

    Del Rio no shows AAA ppv

    Apparently the stabbing might be a hoax. Since Del Rio is unable to keep the story straight and has given 4 different versions of it so far. Also there are no police reports of stabbings in the San Antonio PD register for that weekend either. And he claims he was stabbed in San Antonio and...

    Which Wrestlers Should Turn?

    Turning Ziggler now would not be a good idea tho. Smackdown needs established babyfaces and thanks to the Miz being the master at drawing heat and building a story that he is, Ziggler has really swung up in support and pops with the crowd again after a pretty serious slump.
