I'm watching the TNA One Night Only Knockout Knockdown show (filmed in May, show last week).
There's a bunch of unknown indie girls taking on the regular Knockouts. They keep showing little vignettes to introduce us to the compeitors, only they're featured on the regular Knockouts - the ones you're already familiar with if you watch TNA. Additionally, having looked at the results, one the few indie girls to get wins over the Knockouts, Havok wasn't one of them. They've since hired her and presented her as an unstoppable force in the division...before airing this show. Why do they tape them so far in advance!? |

The usual money issues that's plagued TNA ever since the Hogan era. Was a lot cheaper for them to travel 2-3 times and tape a bunch of episodes in a row than their usual weekly routine.

Maryland Championship Wrestling is running a show in Delaware for the first time in 10 years on Saturday with special appearances by RVD, Lita and Ron Simmons. Wish they'd run a show closer to me though.

What was it that Cesaro said about the Cena Orton match?

Made a sarcastic remark about the staleness and amount of times Orton vs Cena in some form has occurred. Also the crowd caring more about other things than those two.
He wasn't the only person to say stuff like that recently but likely the only one the WWE has publicly punished as a lesson. |

Well, that's a bummer. Price paid for being right, I suppose.

I think The Great Khali may have been released.
I was checking out the roster page on WWE.com and he's been moved to the Alumni section. |

Random idea for the WWE Network. Keep in mind I'm not too up-to-date on how this sort of technology works.
The WWE apparently hasn't reached its target subscribers, and have actually lost only a few less than they gained. Since the start of the Network launching, I've seen pundits saying that they expect that PPVs will begin costing things even on the Network at some point. But instead of that, I was thinking that the WWE could make payment for live specials "optional." You can choose to pay what you want for an event ordered through the Network, and some of the profits could go to a chosen charity working with the WWE. For example, the WWE could donate a percentage of what they make extra on Hell in a Cell to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. They can still give away ones that are entirely free, like Survivor Series, which can be called the WWE's "Thanksgiving" to its millions of fans. But even shows like NXT's live specials can have the option of fans paying money to support that product, and the funding can go towards the Performance Centre, NXT rookies, the production crew, Full Sail University, etc. I can just imagine Triple H smiling as he hands over a new expensive piece of lab equipment to Full Sail, donated by the fans of NXT. People could opt to pay for a potential free NXT live special because they want to send the message that this is their chosen style of wrestling show. Imagine if NXT Takeover made more money than Night of Champions? Would that be enough to make up for the WWE falling short of their desired number of subscribers? Or is that an entirely insane idea from a guy who doesn't know what he is talking about? |

If they can't get people to pay $9.99 for everything (including PPV events, NXT specials, and so on) they sure as hell won't get people to sign up if they then have to pay more on top. You're basically trying to raise more money (regardless that it's for charity) from the subscribers you do have, whilst making the whole thing less appealing for the customers you haven't converted. I'd bet you'd lose more in revenue from the subscribers that say "FUCK THAT!" and cancel (especially now they're not tied in for 6 months) than you would make from those willing to pay for specific events. |
