Wasting perfectly good TV time on a shitty storyline that would be more entertaining if it was just Ziggler/Rusev without the predictable token girl bullshit

Eva Marie will be the female John Cena - Except she may play a heel instead.

Predictions on Seth Rollins upcoming double-shift on Night of Champions?

I'd like to see him defend US Title vs Cena, drop the Heavyweight Championship vs Sting.

They can let Sting hold it for a month or so for nostalgia purposes, then Rollins win it back.

I don't know where Mr. MITB Sheamus fits in with that...

I dont think creative are that deluded :lol: cena can wrestle. Eva marie just looks good . But when she speaks or wrestles then she is painful.

Rollins to drop the us title to cena. Sting to win the hw championship but sheamus cashing the mit b contract straighr after

To set up Sting vs Sheamus? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Rollins to get a dodgy win over sting with some post match shenanigans (possibly from trips which would set up Rollins rumoured face turn) leading to a cash in.

Could be but this is creative we're talking about. They could use sheamus and make him the newest member of the authority.

True. Turning Rollins at such a "small" PPV is risky but I can't see anyway Sheamus cashes in. I don't think they will do it at Mania 2 years in a row.

Once again this is creative lol. Until they hire more wrestling writers then itll be more soapie style shit. There is only one indy wrestler on their writing staff. Hell i wish we could get back freddy prince jr back.

I watched wwe network last night about wcw VS wwe - This was an epp targeted towards WCW failing. Very interesting. From the get go wcw offered garenteed contracts - the prime players like hulk hall and nash eventually would not wrestle due to being paid anyway plus they all had creative control so once the novelty wore off people tuned across. Also V Russo was a key player for the attitude area. WCW tried to use him when WCW went crap but due to the mess they originally created he couldn't help.

Wont happen . They have more sponsors now and the parrent council to think about now.
Also wwe have signed a japanese female wrestler to nxt and another one from an indy promotion

Bischoff hates russo and says russo takes to much credit but he destroyed wcw and tna.

The parent council went ape shit on cbs for the half time show. Cbs is a private owned company and they still felt the wrath.

For those interested in the business side of things, they publish monthly KPI reports at corporate.wwe.com

Attached is the most recent one. It seems that the WWE network is paying off - they are making more money in monthly $10 subscriptions than they have lost in PPV buy rates:

The fact is, with no competition taking away the 15-29 age demographic (like WCW did with the nWo storyline), the WWE can make content PG and there is no realistic alternative.

The PG era is what it is, and we have to make peace with it unfortunately. The WWE network is where they will reel in those who remember the Attitude Era with all the specials they run - "Monday Night War" etc.

I don't think they will move Raw or Smackdown to the network anytime soon, they make an absolute killing in their TV deal. Raw is the number 1 program on cable tv. Maybe in 10-15 years they might, but not for a long time.

Yeah wont happen , I use the network for the older stuff, watched WM 17 the other night. My god that was great. TLC tag title match was insane. Good the dudleys are back now - New day seem to be the only decent NEW tag team

Yup, have said it many times already in this thread, X7 was one of the best.

Yep, I've said this before too but turning Austin heel in the middle of a Texas mania was sooooo ballys. You never seen pull that sort of shit anymore.

I stayed home from school to watch that PPV :lol:

Best day ever, shit went for hours. I remember Jonathan Coachman interviewing some Aussies that were in the crowd.

Good days.

Rumours are either kurt angle or the hardys to come back to wwe. Would love to see both back.

You can hear both sting and bsichoff calling a spot very audibly. Jeff wont last in wwe under the drugs policy they have now. Unless he goes with ddp and gets clea

Just to cross pollinate threads :lol:

I think he deleted it after he realized who "tony" was. Mind you the respect HH - #Hulk4PM

Thoughts on Raw?

The Divas division FINALLY seems to be starting to develop individual feuds, rather than just having generic combinations of the 3 stables.

I thought the whole 'Twin Magic' thing worked well this time, having Flair in the ring celebrating with Charlotte. Presuming she wins on Sunday, her feud with Nikki will have propelled her character well.

I thought everything about Sting was great (especially the clips from old matches) EXCEPT for booking him to fight the Big Show...

Overall, not a bad show leading into Night of Champions.

I am loving the whole trombone thing with New Day - Titus ripping off the piece of the trombone was great too.

People are super pissed that nikki over took aj as longest reigning diva . But those people ignore the fact that vince is trying wipe away anything to do eith cm punk as posssible which is a bitch move. Even though Nikki is good to look at she is garbage. Can see nikki dropping the title to Charlotte at noc . Then we can see paige/sasha banks/becky lynch /bayley when she gets called up fight it out for the re instated womens title. Fuck the divas championship offand bring back the womens title.

Yep. The divas title makes a mockery of the past womens wrestlers. I like the fact trips has a womens title in nxt and not a divas title and tbe fact he lets them have proper matches. Sadly the main event crowds are so used to 3 dec matches they dont seem to care about the new women wrestling

Can't wait to see if Billy Kay and Peyton Royce make the main roster. Along with Buddy Murphy and Emma there is 4 Australian wrestlers in WWE. not bad.

Give them time. I dont want to see a emma situation were they debut but get shafted by creative . Hell the ascecion havent been the same since they went to the main roster. Im glad they are back in nxt were they are being treated as the wrecking balls they are

Scott Steiner has gone fucking nuts on twitter

Juice finally made it to his brains rofl.
