Apparently Major League Wrestling is taking a page from the LOLTNA era of TNA/Impact with how they have been handling things since their revival. Also a page from WWE for pettiness as a company.
Besides some questionable booking affecting shows, seems their contracts might not actually be legally binding or whenever they claim someone is signed, turns out its more like a handshake agreement. Lost Rush, Shane Strickland, and now about to lose the Lucha Bros because of that reason. Only reason Lucha Bros are still in MLW is due to certain terms in their LU contracts since they never signed a real deal with MLW. Also starting to become petty towards other companies after it was exposed their CEO has been lying about the status of certain wrestlers and plans to work with other companies. Someone managed to dig up what the going rate for a top tier MLW contract is and supposedly its $150 per show for 2 years which is why they've struggled to lock down big name indie stars. |

What if....
@Royal Rumble... Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey "get into it" backstage before Becky's match.... Becky still comes out to fight Asuka later but is pretty "banged up" and loses... Meiko Satamura enters the Rumble and faces Asuka at Mania Becky somehow gets a shot against Ronda at Mania Charlotte does something |

That would be neat.
Do not want Charlotte "added" to Becky vs. Ronda. |

WWE is rumored to have recently changed their plans for KUSHIDA.
Originally planned for him to have a stint in NXT and then go to 205 Live. Now the plan is for him to completely skip NXT in favor of going straight to 205 Live instead. |

I do think they should get Meiko to beat the shit out of people at the rumble though. |

This is WWE, guys. I just want to temper people’s expectations. This is the company that was going to put Daniel Bryan in a match against Sheamus in 2014, and look at his fan reactions. They stick to their plans. Charlotte is their top female babyface George Barrios even mentioned her in a recent meeting. She has allegedly been promised the main event. Becky will be getting added to her match, if anything at all.

My favorite Davey Boy Smith, Jr. moment is from Superstars. I can’t remember who he was wrestling, but he came out in a cowboy hat. Scott Stanford was calling the match and there was a spot where Smith tackled his opponent to the mat and he hits the ropes and he does this weird dance and Stanford, with completely earnestly yells “Tex is shaking his hips! Tex is shaking his hips!”

Holy fuck, I found it. Greatest match with the greatest call since Bobby Heenan called the ‘92 Rumble.

Oh, he doesn’t yell it. His tone is even funnier than that.

That’s if they really do care about Becky. There’s nothing incoherent about your reasoning, but I’ve got a feeling that Becky has been kept up there because they know if they shaft her fans won’t accept Charlotte.

I find it weird that they're higher on Charlotte than they ever were on her far more charismatic father -- even when he won the championship.

To be fair, Flair in his prime was only in WWE for like a year or two and the rest of the time we had The Nature Elder.

Why doesn't WWE list Kacy Catanzaro under their roster (NXT or otherwise) ?

Just checked out Lanny Poffo's podcast (The Genius Cast) since I heard it was ending next week, and I highly recommend it. He has some fun guests and has a lot of cool stories.

I had no idea that Nikki Cross and Killian Dain were together, let alone for over a decade.

Hey guys, your King of the Forum Iceman King Gertner here, just saying that I value the Wrestling Forum posters just as much, perhaps even more than the Casual Forum posters.
