Random question: With so much talent under contract and many of them being vocally unsatisfied with their positions and the openings to be used better, what do you think the chances are that WWE does something bizarre and drastic. Even if we’re not in the mood for even more WWE content, would it be so outlandish for WWE to announce that they are launching a third brand? Ever since the FOX deal was announced, I’ve kind of had it in the back of my mind that WWE may not be willing to give up Tuesdays.
AEW is also gaining traction. I can see Vince wanting to do his old trick of directly competing in order to block out AEW or limit their audience. When they did the Halftime Heat show recently, I think at least part of it was to gauge public interest for an NXT show. They have their Network numbers, but they keep that quiet, and it’s limited by how many possible subscribers they can reach. With live events being quieter and all the money being in TV, and with them wanting more Network minutes, without them needing to fret about PPV buys, I’ve just been wondering about the chances of them doing something completely surreal and launching something of a semi-autonomous Tuesday brand, and actually having it be run by either Shane or Triple H, with its own production team, writing crew, agents and aesthetic, but able to use WWE trademarks and hide their specials under the safety of the Network. Is this something that USA or FOX would care about? Would they feel it saturates their marketplace too much? Is it potentially a good idea? Is it inherently awful? I’ve always been against WWE running any sort of “WCW One Night Stand” shows. It’s a dead brand and it never had the same “cult appeal” that an ECW had. But I read something about the WCW trademarks coming up. I doubt WWE let them go. What if Vince McMahon thought “Fuck it. I miss the days of competition and I want to give Shane something to run. I can make the XFL something, dammit, I can have my WCW the way I wanted it in 2001.” Is it just too out of character for Vince to back a wrestling promotion he’s not going to micromanage? It was the plan at one point, and Vince loves proving that he was right all along. |

Real talk, a friend and I watch random episodes of total divas because its hilarious to us that they try and pass some of this stuff off as real.

If that were real, Tamina would have murdered the guy and have Vince cover it up.

rusev was the best part of the last few seasons, glad to see the bellas leave though I fast forward through there apperences.
rusevs contract must be coming up sometime near, he has been unhappy for over 3 years so I don't think rusev signed in the past few years. |

Yes, the video is 23 1/2 minutes long. The point isn't Brian's scathing review, it's...well...just skip to about 7:10 and watch the story writer credits. Yeah. I couldn't believe it either. |

If you mean me, it's a Wrestling With Wregret video where he reviews the awful Rob Van Dam's Extreme Championship Comedy. At around 7:10, and a couple other time marks, there's footage showing the credits, and CTS (former poster Cooler Tom Schuler) is listed as one of the story writers.

Seems ROH could be dealing with a Good/Bad case scenario for their G1 Supercard show. The good being that it quickly sold out but the bad being that around 4k tickets are currently on the secondary market which could led to the situation of a lot of empty seats when the show airs.

I just thought it was wild that he was involved in something so atrociously bad that actually at one time had a slim chance of being put on cable.
I gotta tell ya, man, one of the things that keeps me active here are all the wild and wacky characters and the stories they share and of course our shared experiences. I honestly don't think I'd have stayed around as long as I have without the Usual Gang of Idiots (LOL, MAD magazine reference). |

Charlotte is pretty hot, screw the haters, but her personal life, between Bram, Del Rio, the alleged racist slurs...she really is her father’s daughter as far as drama goes.

I didn't know Charlotte Flair was with Del Rio. I just read up on the alleged racist slurs, don't know if they can be substantiated.
