I don't think a WWE product will be that brutally honest about HBK and his drug problems (or being an ass) and HHH and fucking his way to the top via Stephanie.

If anything, they will make up some bullshit that leads to Bret getting fucked over. WWF is/soon to be a Klique run company, they will never put down their own boys (Look at the Hall of Fame of 2014, the writing is on the wall)

That front cover is pretty fuckin' kino, but something's up with Bret's neck and shoulder in the other one./

>>3008483
Best timeline.
Imagne wwe without Steph and HHH fucking with the product.
Maybe Vince would have already.(maybe not ^^)

It's the spinning heel kick, right?
50% of the time. It's just another thigh-slap kick but hits with far less impact by design than a generic thrust kick.

social media has value in showing interest but this isnt it and you're ignoring how it works. its cumulative.

> The medical report on Hiroshi Tanahashi torn right biceps is essentially what was reported. It was noted that in most cases with a distal biceps tendon rupture that one would opt for surgery to repair the arm. Tanahashi said that he couldn’t be out of action for the six months after surgery. The belief was that his brachialis muscle can compensate for the function of the torn biceps so the decision wasn’t that bad

> Katsuyori Shibata wrote that his doctor is very surprised about how well his recovery has gone. He also talked about being very depressed because it doesn’t feel like summer to him without being in the G-1 tournament

> Jesse Ventura got assurances from Russian President Vladimir Putin that his television show, “The World According to Jesse,” would not be censored at all. Ventura’s show will air on Russia TV, a station that is funded by the Russian government. He had done a show called “Off the Grid” in 2015 with RTV’s American affiliate. The show will debut on 9/8 and air on Friday nights at 7:30 p.m., Eastern, and replayed at 10 p.m

> Sara Lee, who won the women’s side of the last “Tough Enough” based on fan voting, much to the chagrin of WWE officials who felt Mande Rose was the better prospect (and she was) is back training to be a wrestler. Lee was cut by WWE after getting pregnant (Cory Weston, aka Wesley Blake, was the father

> As a cost cutting measure, GFW are doing the next set of tapings from 8/17 to 8/22, taping 12 weeks of television in six days (they are likely to be doing afternoon and evening tapings on 8/19 and 8/20), so they’re doing everything through 10/26, or all shows leading to Bound for Glory next week

> DJZ, who has been out of action for several months after suffering a ruptured colon suffered working on a show for The Crash promotion in Mexico, has gotten full clearance to return. He’s also been dealing with post-surgery panic attacks

> While everything with the Hardys and GFW looks to be dead, there was one issue this week. Impact Wrestling, publicly on twitter, wrote to Jimmy’s Famous Seafood restaurant, which does business with a lot of wrestlers in WWE including the Hardys and Strowman, and wrote, “Would love to talk to you guys about some potential partnership opportunities. Please let us know. The restaurant, owned by Demetrios “Jimmy” Minadakis, then wrote them back, “When you release the Broken Hardy rights, we will set up a call.” The restaurant’s twitter went after me for reporting the Karen Jarrett/Braun Strowman story, which was humorous, claiming it was all made up by Jeff Jarrett, which is so far from off base it’s not even funny, since multiple people have confirmed it and everyone in wrestling has known the story for weeks. Jimmy’s prepares meals for Strowman which explains their loyalty

> Sports Illustrated also reported more on Enzo and his issues. It should be noted, like with the Mauro Ranallo situation, that when WWE talked about all the heat Enzo had with the locker room and acknowledged him being kicked off the tour bus a few months ago, that “Bring it to the Table,” is planned out in advance. It’s not scripted word-for-word like a television interview, but the subjects are chosen in advance, they know the direction they are going and Kevin Dunn oversees and approves everything on the show. So everything they talked about was approved by management, which was also the key in the Ranallo thing in that it was management, not JBL, which approved of the knocking him, although obviously JBL as his broadcast partner could have said no, just like Graves and JBL could have said no. They reported that Enzo had heat also for bringing “questionable guests” into the locker room and was filming and taking photos of wrestlers (I guess without asking them) and that he should not have done that. He also said that Amore has been venturing into the music business

> Lawler and Bill Dundee filmed a pilot for a proposed new television show called “Jerry Lawler’s Classic Memphis Wrestling.” The attempt to is sell it to a local station as a nostalgia show, since Memphis Wrestling was a television institution there from the 60s through the 90s, and particularly big from 1969 to 1987. Lawler talked about how he’d like the show to air on the WWE Network after it first has its run on Memphis television. He said he’s got a lot of the footage and claims that he owns it, although the ownership of the tape library has been in question for decades since Lawler sold the promotion and its IP, but the owners went bankrupt and nobody bought its IP in bankruptcy court

> For people asking about Josh Bredl, the winner of the last Tough Enough season, he is still under contract to WWE but has not wrestled in 13 months due to issues related to concussions. He was using the name Bronson Matthews

> The reason the Hardys were off all the shows this weekend was because they couldn’t fully clear up whether Jeff Hardy would be able to cross the border given his felony drug conviction from years ago. They were working on it and time ran out, and he had to be pulled from the shows. Originally Matt Hardy was going to be in Toronto for Raw to shoot an angle with The Revival for their match, but with Scott Dawson’s injury, that was pulled from the show. The expectation right now, while not a certainty, is they’ll be able to clear it up in time for the next Raw Canada swing

> Nia Jax did an interview with Metro in the U.K. and noted that she and Bliss were best friends in real life

I'm going to bump this and ask where's a good starting point to get into AJPW?

>>3007725
NJPW was never good.

>>3007725
>>3007765
I just catch stuff on yt and dailymotion. Theres tons of stuff streamable. Yes it is good. For a starting point I would say around 1989. Most people will tell you jump right to the 4 Pillars (Misawa, Kobashi, Kawada, Taue) but I am equally a fan of Tenryu and Jumbos work before the Pillars were a thing. They probably helped shape the style of 90s AJPW more than anyone.

I don't know if this is necessarily true. The "stick around no matter what" part. The upper deck was entirely tarped off for last night's Raw.

BASED. Although the same mexican guy should be carrying both LU and WWE's flags for ultimate keks.

>In today's WOR episode at http://f4wonline.com, Dave addressed a mailbag question that noted that advertisers have historically been reluctant to sponsor WWE shows because advertisers see WWE fans as poor and unlikely to spend money. The question asked whether this reputation is deserved, or just an antiquated view that stubborn ad executives are unwilling to abandon.

>Dave answered that multiple demographic studies have repeatedly found that WWE fan demographics (or "demos") are low-income, and "very ethnic" which he immediately clarified specifically meaning "very, very, Mexican," and overall unlikely to spend money.

>Dave contrasted WWE with other "sports entertainment" demos, noting "soccer has the good demos, hockey has the good demos," and concluding that advertisers apparently believe NASCAR has better demos to advertise to than WWE does, though he conceded WWE demos skew younger than NASCAR.

>Since there's a lot of chatter and speculation about the business-side of wrestling around here, I thought enough folks might find this interesting to justify a share.
