1) MitB is a SmackDown PPV
2) Brock's only defending once before SummerSlam, probably against Braun.
3) Hulk Hogan is 63, for god's sake.
So how much do you think that emotional wreck Ranallo got paid to shut up?
Mauro is a pretty outspoken advocate for awareness of mental illness and I absolutely believe he was ready to wait out his contract and then tell everybody everything, so it was probably a lot.
Honestly, more than the money though, probably just as powerful a motivation was the fact that WWE could've made things really, really difficult for him personally and professionally if he tried to talk about them. Apparently as is, WWE is even thinking about trying to bring him back so as it stands right now, the bridge might not even be totally burned.
They probably just had their lawyers bully him into silence and said they paid him publicly.

Second best doc to Wrestling with Shadows
I enjoyed it.
Has funk actually retired yet?
it was fun and probably one of the few times someone with any sense of what a documentary is tried to do something for wrestling. Most cases have been moneygrabs or those fucking youshoots instead.

>"borrow"
lmao you mean stole never has he given credit to the pope dinero for the gimmick.
At least naito has 100% thanked based rush for stealing his whole gimmick, storyline, booking and stable name and looks up to him still as the true leader.

>The 5 best things WWE has going for it today
1) Bliss push - delicious little Goddess of Raw
2) Jinder push - in 1 month became everything they failed to make Roman / should have made Roman / Roman failed to become in 2+ years
3) Titus & Apollo - giving good but so far boring workers a funny gimmick/storyline. Will become a good team before the eventual betrayal, setting up an interesting feud
4) Breezeango - finally making use of their good in-ring work and already great comedy gimmick
5) Returning prestige to the Intercontinental and United States belts by making them them the de facto top prizes
>The 5 potentially best upcoming things in WWE
1) Sasha Banks heel turn
2) Rusev WWE title shot
3) Hardyz becoming broken again (will never be as good as the original, especially with WWE writers. But should still be good)
4) Possible Brock matches, however far down the line they are, with Braun and with Balor. With Braun it'll be fun to see Brock overpowered and thrown around. And with Balor he'll come up against speed and flippy shit. Different but promising dynamics.
5) The return of Stephanie and therefore the Stephanie-Kurt dynamic
>>2620348
Hi OP.
I agree with 1, 4 and 5 in the first bit (with the caveat that I haven't watched any of the Crews/Titus bits yet) and also with 1-4 (with the except of Balor v Lesnar) in the 2nd bit.
Here's a reply
>>2620351
Speaking of Rusev's title shot, I'm really excited about the future of the title picture. With AJ going for the US title, and John Cena passing away, there's gonna be a new fresh face getting the title next.
Could be rusev, zayn, maybe Owens can have a proper reign. It's looking good, it's just a matter of getting the belt off of fucking orton

You lose 20 years as soon as you work for the E.
On the surface WCW and the WWF looked identical but I always had this feeling that there was something different between them besides rosters but what was it that made them feel different and therefore distinct?
WWE were Yankee Doodle Dandies.
WCW Were Johnny Rebs.
The difference you feel is literally the psionic shockwaves still being felt from the trauma of the civil war.
>>2620113
WCW was wrestling. WWF/E is sports entertainment.
>>2620113
WWF felt & looked more colourful to me. Also I'm not sure if they had smaller crowds but they sounded quieter to me.
What's he going to do with it?
>>2620101
Use wrestling as a way to promote his music
can he actually get a better tv deal than anthem?
>>2620101
get record execs like jimmy iovine to become silent partners. he will have big money backing him in exchange for cross promoting shitty headphones, music, energy drinks, etc.
