I don’t remember those days at all. I remember things like Royal Rumble Wrestlemania and night after Wrestlemania surprises only being a few years old and that most returns were hyped via vignettes that told you people were “coming soon to” whatever show they were going to be around going back as long as I can remember (early 80’s) because they needed to give people excuses to shell out $40 for pay per view or watch their Monday Night show over another Monday Night show on at the same time.
Is that something you have to pay to listen to? If so he needs to apologize for forcing people to listen to men almost in their 60's' talk with the vocabulary of a 12 year old who sneaks into his brothers porn stash. That's just sad. Especially since these girls are young enough to be his daughter.
Jericho trolls the internet when his name is in dirt sheets and has for over 20 years. How many times has he 100% not been an entrant in the Royal Rumble because there is a Fozzy concert just for him to show up. How many times has he 100% is going to lose this match because he's leaving to go on tour just for him to stay for an extra 3 months. This is about his 3rd "he might go to TNA" in his career.
In other words. When will you learn that some wrestlers aren't fans of dirt sheets and likes making them look bad.
Indy companies don't have contracts they have hand shake agreements and if any indy company stopped a talent from going to a bigger promotion and make more money they'd be blacklisted and no one would ever want to work with them.
"Sting has not signed with the WWE, he just has a contract that allows his likeness in a video game" - Dave Meltzer (Sting then literally appeared at Summerslam axxess the next day)
Because why not? The WWE title stays the main title in the company as it always has and the Universal title has been a special occasion belt.
If you look at your current pay per view balance the top two feuds are the WWE title and the Intercontinental title. We lived with that for over 30 years. Why is it a problem now?
I don't want to live in a world where independent wrestling companies are having to apologize for "James Ellsworth" not appearing as if he was The Rock.
Reminds me of the 80's when the pay per views for the WWF and NWA were marathons because you had to fit in everyone on the roster just to keep the roster from jumping ship. Pretty sure Starrcade 83 and WrestleMania 4 still might be going on.
The deal breaker most likely is the Tuesday at 8 timeslot not the program itself (they'd rather use that slot for their own shows). The question is will the WWE ask NBC Universal for an all or nothing deal since Fox has already publically put out that they are ditching UFC and want to replace it with the WWE. If Fox offers Raw for the Fox network with Smackdown being on FS1 like is being rumored that might not be a deal the WWE could afford to pass up.
Man, Lashley hasn't even been in the company a month and people are already calling him buried. Maybe the WWE is doing what the WWE always does which is slow build stories to draw suspense and build the character. This is no different than those TNA fans that cried that Matt Hardy wasn't broken 30 seconds after he came back to the company not understanding that the WWE needs to give it a background for the millions of non TNA fans to understand what's going on.
