Memes and jokes aside yes.

She must always look better than anyone else on screen, despite being a heel who should routinely be outclassed and made a fool of. This already handicaps the writers since a ceiling is set for how far a heel can go (never outshine her) and how over a face can get (never talk back to her).

That's not even covering things like 50/50 booking, a refusal to let anyone get over if they're not supposed to, and an obsession with making heels in to absolute cowards and doofuses.

SD has a smaller talent pool and yet somehow outshines Raw every week. There's a reason SD got Rhyno and Slater over and Raw can't even get a decent reaction for Bayley any more.

>>2170212
I'd mark either way

>>2170155
yeah pretty much. one look at the rumble poster will tell you that wwe is completely aware of the fact that their entire roster blows ass so they have to bring back guys who don't suck and plaster them on the front.

>None of the new guys draws a dime

True but you can't fully blame the talents for that. You said it yourself, the quality of the product sucks. And creative refuses to put any effort into putting on a good show or developing characters.

No shit none of the new guys draw a dime when they're all booked like losers or just some dude in wrestling gear. I doubt even Stone Cold or Rock could get over in modern WWE.

clear why dolph is a racist

wtf I hate rusev now

> It is confirmed that the 7/1 and 7/2 NJPW shows will be at the Long Beach, CA Convention Center.

> While not officially green lit, the ITV World of Sport is very much alive and the rating was considered good enough to continue by network officials. It’s just getting the final call made and then working on the dates of the first set of tapings since the studio they use is heavily booked for all kinds of programming. The belief is that the deal is all but officially done and the official announcement and details of the next set of tapings will be made within a few weeks. They will be taping on a similar schedule as TNA and are starting talks with the wrestlers to work out the dates. It would probably be a multi-day shoot. The tricky thing is Jim Ross, because he’s under contract to AXS, although they can probably work the New Japan tapings around his scheduled. But he also works for CBS Sports doing boxing, and the boxing events aren’t going to be worked around his schedule. Ross has said that if the ITV thing goes through, he wouldn’t be looking for any other projects as between the three he’d be kept quite busy at 65 years old, really a lot busier than he ever expected to be.

> Fred Ottman, 60, best known as Big Bubba, Tugboat, Typhoon, Shockmaster and Uncle Fred among his different aliases, was hospitalized this past week and in really rough condition. His wife told Bill Apter that at first she thought he had a stroke because he couldn’t talk, but when they got to the hospital he had four different infections, the worst one to the kidneys. His fever at one point hit 104 degrees.

> Ivelisse is pregnant. She came to the Shine show on 1/13 in Ybor City, where she was their champion. Her situation wasn’t announced to the fans, but they did announce that she wasn’t medically cleared and was stripped of her championship. How that affects Lucha Underground is unknown, but likely not at all since they aren’t taping until the end of this year.

> It appears that Anthem Sports & Entertainment will be dropping the TNA initials and just calling the product Impact Wrestling. Those kind of cosmetic changes and new logo aren’t going to make any difference. Granted, the TNA name does have a negative connotation, but Impact has close to the same connotation and the setting and style being the same will mean the results will be the same. They still have the problem that Lucha Underground also has, which is how can they make any money on this venture and the costs are higher than the television rights fees, and there’s not enough revenue generated elsewhere to make up the difference.

> As far as the three key contracts that were coming due, neither Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy nor Drew Galloway have signed new deals with TNA. The Galloway situation is notable because of how the U.K. situation has greatly changed in a short period of time. Still, for the Five Star group, he was their spokesperson at a press conference this past week in Dundee, Scotland.

> While the Hardys haven’t signed, things look good for them to stay. There are two options on the table, a guaranteed deal where they would have full control of their bookings outside the promotion, or a higher guaranteed deal where TNA would at least have to approve of their outside bookings. TNA likely wouldn’t nix anything unless it was maybe ROH (and maybe not since ROH is on The Fight Network so it makes no sense with Fight Network owning for those political issues to still exist) and of course WWE. Matt right now is leaning toward staying, since he has full control of his creative in TNA, which it’s highly unlikely he’d have in WWE. Jeff still hasn’t come to an agreement regarding number of dates per year, since the plan is to go back to running a regular house show schedule.

> The feeling at the tapings is that Jarrett seemed prime for a power position down the line. Anthem brought him in with his job to give them tips on how to make the company profitable.

> The expectation is that Anthem will be making changes in who runs the place probably before the next set of tapings. These tapings were done by the same people and most of the ideas were continuations of what had been done. Some thought there should have been more obvious changes as far as the look and feel as the shows did feel like the same old TNA (in one sense not bad, as the product is fine, but the product is losing viewership based on the sins of the past and the feeling it is irrelevant in the modern scene past clearly the Hardy gimmick is something people chant at shows all over the world).

> It was John Gaburick who made the deal to bring in Josh Barnett.

> Vince McMahon was on crutches this past week because he had minor hip surgery, apparently similar to the surgery Undertaker had. Undertaker at some point is likely to need a full hip replacement but has been trying to put that off until he retires and had his problems temporarily taken care of with his recent surgery.

> Brock Lesnar will be working most Raws from this point forward until Mania. This will be the most Lesnar has worked as far as dates are concerned since 2004. The only show he’s not booked on is Las Vegas on 2/13 and he’s on every March Raw.

> In an interview with the Wrestling Connection at Fox Sports, Paul Levesque said it would probably be this summer when the proposed women’s tournament takes place on the WWE Network. The idea is to do something similar to what they did with the cruiserweight tournament, with it being a ten week or so series and a single elimination tournament. He was also asked about intergender matches and said that while they may work with some smaller promotions as shock entertainment, he didn’t think the WWE fan base would be ready for males beating up females inside the ring.

Cancer: The Post

This will be the biggest mania ever. Why the fuck is Wrestlemania not a PPV exclusive? Is WWE retarded? Do they want to piss away free money? All the big 4 ppvs should be PPVs. At least make the Rumble and Mania ppvs. UFC has a network and still does PPVs and their ppvs fucking kill it.
