Why is she on TV?
>boring
>her own biggest mark
>pointless segments, example the Paul heyman one recently
>shit talks everyone, puts herself over on the daily
>never let's anyone get their heat back or makes anyone better
>if she wrestles she wins and it does nothing for anyone, someone who isn't a wrestler actually beats wrestlers
>so bad by herself they needed Foley for cheap pops

I would say she's a mini triple h, but triple h has actually put people over.

I guess since she's on the creative team they all kiss her ass like she's needed. No one pays to see her, not one dime.

At least Vince cut can cut a good promo, takes bumps, same with Shane but the promos are worst, honestly raw will be watchable again once Stephanie fucks off

Oh I also forgot, she thinks people like divashit that isn't bra and panties

Fuck this guy.

I never liked him, I don't miss him, I never bought into the bandwagon smarks and marks alike were in.

What fucking gives?

Also, I don't want to burst your bubble, but you DO know he's a manlet, don't you?

>Paige's WWE future is said to be up in the air right now, according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. While also dealing with injuries, she is still serving a 30-day suspension for her first violation of the WWE Wellness Policy and is under contract until 2019 but there has been a lot of heat over her relationship with Alberto Del Rio, and other issues, leading to speculation on her not coming back.

>We noted last week via MLW Radio's "MSL & Sullivan" podcast that WWE's Mark Carrano approached Paige and Del Rio individually and harassed them about the relationship. It was indicated that the office wanted them to end the relationship, which is why they were split up in the WWE Draft. It was also reported that the company threatened to fire Paige if she didn't break up with Del Rio.

>The Observer reports that WWE is denying the story - the harassment to Del Rio and Paige, and the threat to fire her. Apparently there is also a claim going around that Del Rio called Carrano on the subject but Carrano just went silent during the conversation.

>For what it's worth, Paige has now reportedly retained legal representation and there's speculation on if she will stay with WWE or leave.

Dave Meltzer on Hulk Hogan's drawing power

>Hogan was a big draw for more years than Austin. But Austin's grosses were so huge that his few years were bigger than all of Hogan's put together. The profit margin in Austin's best year was more than the total profit margin, in fact, significantly more, between 1984 and 1992, which was the entire Hogan WWE era. Just so this isn't misinterpreted. WWF profits from 1984-92 were about $40-45 million total. Best single year was $6 million. Profits were never less than $56 million each year from 98-99 through 00-01.

>Hogan's coming didn't turn WCW around. Nitro did and a roster that had more star power than any roster in history. In WCW's best year and hottest period, Goldberg was the draw. When WCW was doing those 30,000 fan Nitros, Hogan was doing one of his retirements and the company was doing its biggest house show business ever without him.

>Hogan didn't draw that well at house shows in WCW until the entire company itself was on fire, and then they were drawing with him and without him. Hogan was never close to the man when it came to WCW's big period of ratings. Goldberg and Flair moved the audience the most consistently. Hogan was good, but he was second tier with Savage.

>In WWE, his first 2-3 PPVs and first TV appearances did great for the nostalgic return. Check the ratings that year. They died after a while. I remember the week, there was a Hogan interview shortly after he'd won the title where the audience tuned out in droves. They had to get the belt from him.
