There was never a planned World Title Series. TNA didn't know if they were going to be losing their Destination America spot or not, so they didn't make any long-term plans. Instead they just taped loads of random matches over several tapings and are only now editing them together to try to make it look like a proper tourney.

To that end, Matt's decision to "vacate" the belt was really only done because Matt wasn't involved in the random matches they had taped. So they gave the guy the belt knowing damn well he wasn't going to be in the next several weeks worth of programming. The company is dumb.

Ouch. All at the expense of EC3, too. He looks likes 4 billion bucks right now, btw.

Any chance he'll land back in WWE?

No, they had the World Title Series planned about a year ago. Matt Hardy is in the World title Series and is in the tag team specialists group. They just didnt know when they were going to do it and decided to do it after BFG. Only person really not in it that should be is Kurt Angle because he was hurt at the time of the tapings.

They were going to use them as One Night Only PPVs but when Destination America gave them an extinction to the end of the year they just aired them on Impact, but the plan had been there for a World Title Series since last July but didn't know Hardy would be the one to vacate the title.

Because that would be super smart.
The only thing I can think of is that they don't want people to know right away that he's gone, so ticket sales won't drop, and all the liitle jimmies will still show up hoping to see him.

Which is fucked up, but again, it's the only explanation I have.

WWE released the updated Network numbers and it looks like it might never do any better than just break even for the WWE. 1.2 million overall so far but had a huge drop during the summer.



They need to average around 1.2-1.4 million to be at break even, 2 million to make some really good money, and 3-4 million gives them huge financial security.

WWE stock dropped from about 20.58 to 17.44 from yesterday but in the past month or so it was steadily increasing.

There will always be a post Mania dip. That's the nature of the business.

Take a look at their YoY numbers. Revenue for Network/PPV is way up from the PPV only days.

The Network is already profitable.

Not for the Network since it wasn't planned to suffer from the same issues the WWE has post-Mania/Summerslam. That kind of drop and the size of it shouldn't be happening for a service this young. WWE might end up spending most of this year just to bring it back to where it was before instead of being additional growth for the Network.

Network is profitable for the YOY term but not overall since a stable 1.2-1.4 million only breaks even with what they were getting for ppvs. Doesn't cover the infrastructure costs and losses they were taking for the first year.

I don't think you know how to read financial reports.

Start up costs are usually one time. Take a look at 2013 ppv revenue vs 2015 ppv+network revenue. Even if they stay flat at 2015 numbers they will be way ahead of where they were in the long term.

They still don't have any presence in places like India, Japan, and China. Those places will help fuel growth long term. On top of that they still haven't monitized ad revenue from the Network. That's another growth opportunity.

Read the Forbes article on the results.

And the network doesn't eliminate the Mania dip. In theory you will always get spikes at Mania time from people who are more casual fans.

As long as you have the option to buy one month at a time, their subs should always spike at Mania

Could also get a creepy vibe with Bray calling her Abigail all the time thinking she's the personification of her.

Paige wouldn't mind after a while or grow delusional to think she actually is Abigail since Bray's brutes are willing to do her bidding for anything she wants.

At this time, ROH’s run is set to end in December, when their deal ends. TNA will reportedly be off of the network in January. Recently, an advertiser was looking at buying time on the network in early 2016 specifically on the wrestling shows and was told at the time (before Etkind left the GM position last month) that they would not be having any wrestling on the station. Because both wrestling shows do well above the station average, a new person in charge could change the futures for both TNA and Ring of Honor. More on the story as it develops.
No guarantees the new GM of Destination America will reverse the decisions regarding TNA and ROH's future on the network.

AAA was under the impression that Del Rio would be fulfilling most of his advertised dates with the promotion, starting with a TV taping on Monday in Nuevo Laredo, and would be missing Raw. The other taping date he was advertised was November 15 in Ciudad Juarez, and he is booked the day before in Minehead, England, and traveling to Greenville, SC, from there, so it would appear very difficult to reroute him to Mexico.

At this point it appears AAA will be lucky to even get one date with him to drop their Mega heavyweight title.
Some much for the potential special deal AAA implied they had with the WWE in regards to Del Rio.

As of right now, World Wrestling Entertainment still haven’t managed to legally trademark ‘Halloween Havoc’. The promotion do own the rights to prior Havoc events, which are shown on the WWE Network library, but the patent on the name still eludes them. This past Summer, the juggernaut applied for the rights to the Halloween Havoc name, but they’re still waiting.

Many fans likely assumed that Vince McMahon simply swallowed up all of WCW’s event titles upon purchasing the ailing organisation in March, 2001. It appears that only some of the event trademarks were included, which explains why WWE have to apply for trademark on them in 2015. Further to that point, the company have been trying to secure the rights to the name for years.

On Bryan’s injury issues:

“Daniel Bryan has his style of wrestling and he’s his own worst enemy. When he goes out to the ring he puts everything on the line especially his body. When you’re a wrestler you are not meant to be harming yourself but Daniel Bryan seems to be doing harm to himself whether he’s doing an offensive move or if someone is doing a move on him. Daniel is always bumping, his high running knee he takes a bump, when his flying through the ropes he’s taking a bump but that’s his style and he’s not going to change the way he wrestles, he’s going to wrestle like that until the day he retires. I just hope he gets another chance to get back in the ring and finish his career the way he wants to before he retires.”

Ring Of Honor which follows Impact drew an impressive 227,000 viewers which was a huge increase on last week's 132,000 viewers, making it their best one hour broadcast on Destination America yet.
Young Bucks announcement may or may not have played a role in the huge spike for ROH.

The other important driver of future growth is the Network segment, which on September 30th had 1.233 million paid subscribers and 73,000 free subscribers. That's up from the 1.15 million at the end of June, but down from the 1.33 million at the end of March. It's pretty clear the network business looks to be big increases in the first quarter of the year due to the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania, and trying to hold those increases for the rest of the year.
Observer on the recent WWE financial report. Stocks took a big dip mostly because of the hype going in, Live show and merch revenue went up but because they ran more shows compared to last period, overall revenue and profits are up but also lower than original predictions. MSG Network special ended up being the most watched show in Network history while its being implied Tough Enough is done as a series. http://www.f4wonline.com/wwe-news/ww...-number-200596

Yet, WWE’s television rights agreements are not tied to weekly ratings. Still, there are several reasons that ratings still remain a relevant component in evaluating the WWE business model.

First of all, NBC Universal does care about their television ratings. They’ve earmarked hundreds of millions of the dollars to pay WWE with a relationship largely built on the history that WWE can deliver large weekly audiences and in turn, a boosting of value for cable channels such as USA Network and SyFy Network. Indeed, NBCU is planning to move WWE’s SmackDown from SyFy to the USA during Q1 of '16. If Raw stops being able to deliver the eyeballs, the WWE’s value to NBCU’s portfolio may greatly diminish.

Second, advertisers care about ratings. One of the interesting elements in today’s Q3 press release was a note that “37 new advertisers were secured for WWE programming following NBCUniversal’s upfront”. Largely, this advertising money would not be going directly to WWE, but rather NBCU. In some cases, WWE may directly benefit as advertisers may decide to integrate the advertising into the WWE programming (such as sponsorship of PPVs or in-program ads) ...

Lastly, in order to gain and retain subscribers for the WWE Network, WWE needs to create new fans, create new superstars, and monetize their audience. Declining ratings demonstrate diminishing interest in the WWE.
Observer on ratings and while its not hurting the WWE itself right now, it has the potential to be a huge thorn within the near future.


Some other sheet news includes:
  • WWE announced Brock Lesnar will be wrestling at the December 19th house show in Los Angeles. Could end up getting the Network treatment like past Lesnar house shows.
  • In a "WWE Did You Know" type fact, today is the 30th anniversary of Dusty Rhode's famous "Hard Times" promo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4MmynUrze8
  • William Regal announced he's out till December due to recent neck surgery. Recent CAT scan showed his neck was getting in bad shape and also to deal with some nagging issues from his last surgery.
  • Lucha Underground currently opened sign ups for seats for the second season taping. Only 300 seats per taping and only a few dates are available.
  • Newest episode of TPWW TLP podcast was released today: http://tablesladderspodcast.podbean....st-127-102815/
  • WWE recently released a Halloween themed video on the official website dealing with Bray Wyatt and ghost stories. http://www.wwe.com/videos/bray-wyatt...ories-28124330

I've often wondered when the money for the three-hour RAW is overshadowed by the diminishing interest due to an over-saturation. At some point, the viewers that are less put off by such a long show are going to be more valuable than the extra income. Surely the USA Network wants those viewers back too.

Would an hour drop change things though? The drop between the ratings seems more general than "the third hour can't keep people." The third hour does drop off, but the entire show has ratings down. Maybe it's time to focus on creating a good product instead of a gentrified one? Also let Becky Lunch wear her old attire.

Even if they don't have plans to use him the ring, Daniel Bryan as Cesaro's "friend and adviser" would be a great way to transition some momentum to Cesaro.

I still think Cesaro and Nattie should be linked on the air too. Don't go overboard with sexual tension or anything, but people speculating on the nature of their relationship could at least lead to a few more casuals having emotional investments in them.

We named this company Legacy Talent because it's our mission to help preserve the legacies that our clients have worked a lifetime to build. Yesterday we took a huge step in documenting Ric Flair's legacy by starting to shoot his 30 for 30 ESPN Film. We are honored to work with such a prestigious group on a project we are so passionate about!
This wouldn't be the first time ESPN has ventured into the pro wrestling world with its 30 for 30 documentary series, having previously looked at the Von Erich family. This also comes at a time when ESPN and WWE are as cozy as ever, what with a weekly segment on Sportscenter and increased coverage of major pay-per-view (PPV) events.

There are underneath guys complaining about having a hard time making it given road expenses. The top guys are being well taken care of

Turns out Del Rio's actual pay is around $500,000.

It appears from here that when the Lucha Underground deal fell apart, that he wanted to go back to WWE and that's really it. As noted before, he will be at TV Monday and Tuesday and then he'll be leaving after Tuesday night for the entire European tour, so AAA being told he was going to work their TV's on 11/7 and 11/15 isn't happening and one questions if they'll even get him back for a date.
Observer issued a correction after finding out both their source lied a bit and Del Rio lying about his situation in AAA towards the end. AAA thought at first they had Del Rio till early 2016, then at least a few dates for November, and now have no clue when he's coming back to relinquish the Mega title.

Don't know why the WWE keeps insisting on treating the tag division like the Divas division. Instead of building any depth, its just champs vs team du jour for anything meaningful.

They are clearly trying to make Reigns the new face of the company, and one would think they’d pull the trigger at WrestleMania, when interest and focus on the company is the highest by far. But Reigns isn’t popular with the WrestleMania crowd. This past year, nobody was booed even close to as much as him, even though pushed as the top babyface on the show. With Survivor Series, you sacrifice the spotlight but won’t have as bad a reaction to kicking the reign off. Or he could be screwed and build the change up for later. As a heel champion, Rollins has gone through the entire top of the face side except for Undertaker and Reigns. On the heel side for Reigns, there are a number of potential PPV headliners including Del Rio, Rollins, Kevin Owens, Bray Wyatt, Braun Strowman (he’s getting the monster push, but the match would be a risk). Even faces like Lesnar, Dean Ambrose and Cena could be mixed in, and Reigns against Cena or Lesnar could headline WrestleMania if Reigns is champion. The latter could explain Lesnar vs. Undertaker being moved up

Rey Mysterio appeared on Wednesday's "Gorilla Position" podcast and naturally, WWE came up as a subject. After all of the drama and rumors that surrounded his departure from the company, his answer to a question about whether he would return to the company might have been a bit surprising.

"Never say never. I didn't leave on bad terms. There was no dispute or bad intention on me leaving. So, if there is an opportunity down the road and both parties agree to it, why not?

"At this stage of my career and my personal life, I'm enjoying it (time off)," Mysterio said. "It's what I want to do. I wanted to spend time with my kids and my wife, and I wanted my body to heal up. So, I'm going through that right now."

Mysterio is currently working as AAA's top star, as well as picking up independent booking dates all over the world. Since his release, he's already had "dream matches" with the likes of Amazing Red and Ricochet on the independent circuit.
Within a year, AAA could end up losing the three stars they invested the most in. Sin Cara #1 left them for CMLL I think, Del Rio ditched them the moment he could, and now Rey could leave if the price is right.

But it would make sense to book a 5,000 seat arena or larger as opposed to the few hundred seat buildings they usually run for a major event the night before Rumble

The big questions are can they get a television deal, and can they get The Orleans to renew? Will The Orleans think it’s worth it to sponsor a show if it only airs internationally or is it important that, since the show is promotion for The Orleans, that the show airs on American television? Either way, we’ve heard nothing about a deal past hopes for something in the U.K. Aldis being made world champion is clearly for the U.K. and it makes perfect sense. ... As you can tell by the names on the show, Jarrett clearly has little money to work with. Plus, even with TNA allowing its talent to work for him, Roode was the only one he booked and Roode and Jarrett are good friends. He’s going to really need to pull a rabbit out of his hat at this point. He was able to get The Orleans to be a partner in the first three shows and pay for the production.

Finally, the duo were able to get ROH to allow them to maintain their ProWrestlingTees.com store, an outlet that has allowed the Bucks to build an additional revenue stream for themselves beyond independent bookings with an endless procession of new Buck shirt designs.
Update to the recent Young Bucks news. Mostly on how they got ROH to agree to let them still wrestle for PWG even though relations between the two companies has been very low for a while.


Some other sheet news includes:
  • Lucha Underground considering the idea of going on tours during 2016.
  • According to the Observer, even with the new management at Destination America, very unlikely TNA will stay beyond early next year. Management still has low/bad views on wrestling in general.
  • Also according to the Observer, TNA's plans on using India as a last ditch chance to remain relevant is about to take a huge hit now that the WWE is investing in the country for the Network.
  • WWE's stocks rebounded a bit after yesterday's big hit following their financial report. Being implied the stuff regarding India and being a potentially huge market for them as the reason why. Overall still around $2 down compared to a few days ago.
