> There's been a lot of speculation on WWE possibly bringing indie wrestling content to the WWE Network after a few Fan Council surveys were issued this year to gauge interest, specifically mentioning promotions like Ring of Honor, EVOLVE, CZW and several others.

> It looks like indies will indeed be coming to the WWE Network as Vince McMahon has decided that he does want some "hot indies" on the Network, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio.

> WWE issued a survey earlier this fall that included potential price points of $4.99, $9.99 and $14.99. Promotions listed in that survey were TNA and ROH. They issued another survey this fall that asked fans which promotions they were watching - PWG, CHIKARA, EVOLVE, DGUSA, OVW, AAW, CZW, Shimmer, SCW, ROH and FIP.

> No word yet on when we may see indies on the Network or which promotions may sign deals with WWE but Meltzer believes the next few months will be very interesting for the business with potential changes. He also speculated on WWE forming alliances with other promotions, similar to what they have done with WWN Live over the past year.


What a tragedy!! Its the end of mainstream wrestling as we know it.

Owens could have a physique like based Roman if he wasn't such a lazy piece of fat canadian shit.

Reminder that Owens is the lowest drawing champion in Raw history.

>Danielson, 35, made it in his second year on the ballot. Clearly his retirement made the difference as people sometimes don’t vote for people whose careers are still in progress (not that many haven’t gotten in while full-time and active), particularly for someone who really only had a few years with true national spotlight. Danielson becomes the first wrestler where the majority of his career was spent on the independent scene, although he did end up as the most popular wrestler in WWE in 2014 and defied all odds in being the star of WrestleMania 30, given his size and the way he was pushed when he first started with the company.

>Danielson finished first among reporters, second among historians, 11th among retired wrestlers and 7th among active wrestlers.

>Danielson is generally considered as one of the best in-ring performers of this generation. Perhaps even more than his wrestling ability is his influence changing the genre at the top level of the WWE and to an being a pioneer to the modern independent scene. His success changed the very way WWE looks at talent, and some of the top stars today would not have even been signed by WWE based on the previous mindset of what a star looks like.

California State Athletic Commission executive officer Andy Foster confirmed to MMAFighting.com that UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor was granted a boxing license in California on Wednesday.

> Foster said, "He got a license today and a federal ID. He's a California boxer now. ... He's qualified [as a boxer]. I'd love to see him fight in California. It just needs to be the right opponent. Certainly a high-level opponent. We're happy to license him. We're happy he's a California fighter."

This comes just days after UFC stripped McGregor of his Featherweight Title and named Jose Aldo the new champion. McGregor has not responded publicly to that decision and it's being speculated that this could be McGregor's way of grandstanding in response.

> There's also the obvious speculation of a Conor vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. superfight, which has been teased for some time now. MMAFighting.com notes that there are no concrete plans for them to box each other at this time but FloCombat reports that talks between the two camps have been ongoing for almost a full year. They described the current state of the talks as optimistic. Conor has offered to box Mayweather in the past with a price tag of $100 million.

FOX Sports reports that Conor will also be applying for a boxing license in other states such as New York, Nevada and Texas.

ROH Final Battle being bigger than WrestleMania for him:

> "This was all a big test. I'm now going to places that are just freakin' magical like Ring of Honor Final Battle. Final Battle, I'm not lying, is bigger than what WrestleMania was to me. Maybe because I'm out there in my own skin. Maybe it's because I have cultivated my own brand now. Maybe it's because the best revenge in the world is success. Maybe I want to prove naysayers and WWE wrong. I found I stopped focusing on the negative, which, especially in this modern day of social media, is hard to do. I'm driven by the positive. Almost every single show we've done on the independent run has had a record crowd. To me, the meet-and-greets with the fans has been very rewarding."

Vince's sudden fetish for shock value means a gremlin has a very good shot at becoming WWE champion.
