With the Network special this month being WWE Roadblock I find myself hoping that the road to WrestleMania gets longer and longer every year.

WWE Rest Stop and WWE Toll Booth should be next.

Curious to know what is the most viewed WrestleMania on the WWE Network, I lost track of memorizing the cards right after 22-29. I usually go back and watch 2000 and 17 quite a bit.

Wish they had made Sasha/Becky a bigger deal on RAW.

Seems to me that if they knew they were going to have a RAW that didn't have Shane/Lesnar/Heyman/Reigns on it... they could have used that opportunity to put more focus on the Divas Title, and its top contenders. Seems to me like who should get to go to Wrestlemania to fight for the title could at least try to be presented as "big of a deal" as who gets to fight for the WWE Title.

Put the match on late in the show, if not main event, and have special hype packages all night about the competitors.... etc....

Treat it like it isn't just "one more thing", but the "pinnacle" of what can be accomplished for them.....

As noted, Rock, Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels and at least as of a week ago, Mick Foley, are all scheduled to have parts in the show at this point. The roles of all but Rock have been defined but whether all or some of the others will be announced ahead of time or do a cameo role similar to DX and the NWO last year is unknown.

Styles & Chris Jericho program is not scheduled to be part of WrestleMania. They have been pushing Sheamus & Rusev as a tag team of late. King Barrett is fully cleared and Alberto Del Rio is still being linked with Kalisto, which could lead to a blow-off match over the U.S. title but we haven’t been told of that yet.

The idea is similar to last year’s IC title ladder match to load up on good workers (and The Miz). Also on the show include another singles match with top guys with an angle expected to be shot over the next two weeks, a second women’s match as well as the Andre the Giant Battle Royal for everyone else not slotted in. Aside from Shane McMahon, no surprise wrestlers are scheduled for the show, as all the legends will be in cameo roles, interview roles or as seconds or referees.

While Ambrose will likely always get a reaction because the crowd likes him and he’s got a great promo delivery, at some point, unless he scores a big win that this is building toward, people may lose faith in him since he constantly gets beaten up in fights he starts and always loses to the top guys.

Reigns as a heel makes all the sense in the world, but that would undo years of work in planning on him for being the face of the company. But all of his “money” contenders or best personal issues would come on the face side, most notably Lesnar, Ambrose, Undertaker and John Cena.

At this point, nobody seems to have been told anything but he’s returning short-term as a performer.

The company had been looking for investors for some time, but it hadn’t been public. But apparently Dixie Carter has been at meetings in both New York and Los Angeles looking for funding. The public admission of looking for outside funding is a change, as all previous stories that would lead to uncertainty about the future were always denied to talent, even though historically in every case it left the company with no credibility when the stories ended up being true.
Update to TNA looking for a new investor and/or parent company news.

The most recent set of tapings in the U.K. runs out with the show that airs on 3/8 ... Talent had been told that they were booked for tapings back at Universal in Orlando from ... 3/15 to 3/20, with the first night being an almost live (tape delayed by about two hours) show. The taping would include doing both Impact as well as some One Night Only specials which the company is contracted to in its international television deals. Six days of tapings would enable them to tape nearly two months of television.

But it’s strange that even at this late date the company hasn’t announced it, nor have any of the talent received their ticket itinerary, and there are rumblings about late payments again, which is hardly uncommon. Those used to be blamed on the outside forces in Panda, but now with all checks having to be cut from the Nashville offices with Panda not involved, the old excuses no longer hold water ... Talent hasn’t been told of any house shows or PPV dates, nor future tapings after this month.

Signs aren’t good, as the audience for Impact has dropped. The 2/23 Impact show, pushed as the Lockdown card from London, did 210,000 viewers at 9 p.m., the lowest number to date by 45,000 viewers, and that’s more than a month after Pop TV added 8 million new homes. The 87,000 viewers for the replay were the second lowest since moving to the new station. They are in somewhere between 21 million and 23 million more homes than when they were on Destination America, and about 12 million to 14 million fewer homes than Spike, but their viewing audience is way down from Destination America numbers ...

Now the base has eroded. While the TV show has improved, they ran off so many customers and lost customers with network and night changes that never came back ... There are a number of problems, including just the nature of TNA as WWE-lite storylines with lesser stars. Instead of forging their own direction like a number of independent groups have done to grow interest, the TNA formula isn’t unique in a business where WWE has five hours of weekly prime time television with bigger names, better matches, and an NXT product on its network as a hot alternative with a more basic style. TNA does have less scripted feeling interviews and has tried to push new characters in recent weeks. The TV has gotten better in recent weeks. But the loss of so many big names and overall negative momentum and the bad feelings among fans from all the years of bad television has left the brand with significant damage ...

In addition, the relationship between TNA will and AO1 Productions looks to have fallen apart already. This stems from issues with production people for much of last year complaining about late payments
Some other bad news included the recent UK tour performing a lot worse than originally assumed, TNA having problems planning for this year's India tour, and this week's Impact being the 3rd lowest in viewers since the move to POP TV.

The card is pretty clear that they are no longer focusing on younger talent and more of older wrestlers with name value. Also announced is a non-stipulation singles match with Dr. Wagner Jr., who is 50, vs. Psycho Clown.

All signs pretty much have it as a lock that Hogan will win. For a small laugh this was one of the questions asked during the jury pool stuff: https://twitter.com/annamphillips/st...28035696189441

Styles hadn’t used the Styles clash, nor even teased it because he was told it wasn’t going to be his finish, since that point. Jericho wanted it in their PPV match, as much as anything because the move was over and to get a reaction, and got it in, and with no issues coming from it, the move is now okay to be used. But I believe they still want the submission move to be his finisher

The story notes that the series would take the GFW roster and present them in a similar "event style" to some of A. Smith & Co.'s other productions, such as FOXs "Hell's Kitchen." GFW has been taping and presenting some reality elements to videos they've released online to promote the Global Force Wrestling brand-name ...

Based on the wording of the article, it would appear this project under the GFW banner would be separate from the GFW Amped TV episodes that were taped last year in Las Vegas.

Some other sheet news includes:
  • NJPW's Kota Ibushi teased during a recent Japanese interview that he would like to work in the WWE in the future. https://twitter.com/enuhito_eng/stat...082368?lang=en
  • Someone on SquaredCircle recently broke down the segment and wrestling times for this week's RAW with ads taking up around 23% of the show, promos and recaps types taking up around 41.5% of the show, and actual wrestling being just 25% of the show. In a non-shocker, Taker ate up the most time in regards to ring entrances. https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCirc...ka_i_have_too/
  • According to the Observer, NJPW is planning on expanding their presence in the US market with recently signed Jim Ross and their AXS show as the basis for it. Also currently working on getting an official NJPW wrestling game to be made.
  • Update to Lucha Underground selling episodes on iTunes as it appears LU only gets paid a percentage per episode downloaded and no money up front from the deal.
  • According to the Observer, current Road to Mania plans have no more tv appearances by Taker till Mania while Shane has at least 3 more dates planned. Lesnar only has 2 more weeks of dates currently planned while Reigns is set to come back next week but will skip the following week.
  • According to reports, the current contract Nakaumra signed with the WWE ends in 2019.
  • According to PWI, this season of Total Divas is on tract to be the worst in terms of viewers with a this week's episode being under 600k. https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCirc...antly_down_to/
