I thought it was just WWE now, not World Wrestling Entertainment.
ReplyDeleteCant put initials like that on a legal document I guess.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Big Dick Johnson wrote that glowing praise of creative.
ReplyDeleteI came into this thread looking for lies!
ReplyDeleteWait, what? Seriously?
ReplyDeleteJack Tunney would never have allowed such a poorly-written contract during his administration.
ReplyDeleteYes, seriously, it's in the small print on the contract.
ReplyDeleteThe fine print stated "Just kidding". So it's a valid contract. ALWAYS READ THE FINE PRINT
ReplyDeleteI laughed when I saw Pittsburg and Smackdown taping in the same sentence.
ReplyDeleteClearly World Wrestling Entertainment isn't that important if his couldn't be properly attributed to as His. Freaking Hollywood atheist conspiracy to brainwash the gay into us.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many people in the UK that want to have the Network don't already have it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to watch the shoot.
ReplyDelete*Shitsburgh :)
ReplyDeleteDB: "Card Subject to Change".
ReplyDeleteContract: Ha. Ha. Ha.
Network: That should help boost the numbers decently.
KC: Still skipping that series.
"advertised" is spelled wrong.
ReplyDeleteGRAMMAR SLAM!!
ReplyDeleteThe crack writing team for WWE didn't get the memo before they made the dummy contract. Or, they've been using the same document for years as their TV contract and no one changed it.
ReplyDeleteI think Shane has said everything he possibly can at this point.
ReplyDeletehttp://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_correct_spelling_advertise_or_advertize?#slide=2
ReplyDeleteThe exact phrase is "Just kidding but not really."
ReplyDeleteIn either case, you spelled it wrong. You put, "advetised."
ReplyDeleteRic Flair...BLAHBLAHBLAH...REPEAT...
ReplyDeleteThey have a thousand of those pages printed out, stored in Vince. Steph, and Hunter's desks.
ReplyDeleteNeed a TV "contract"? Go ask one of them.

Just for you, downvoter:
ReplyDeleteNetwork: That should help tank the numbers some more.
Better?
only checked the headline
ReplyDeleteNot my fault. the "but not really" part was added in microscope font. I missed it.
ReplyDeleteI feel alseep before the main event signing. I woke up the Chrisley being ABSOLUTELY furious before I rewinded to watch.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuBGevbuQYs
ReplyDeleteSo since the Shield and Evolution signed the contract, are they acknowledging that WWE is an entity unto itself -- and an omnipotent one at that?
ReplyDelete#ThatGuy
ReplyDeleteWho the hell is that guy and why does he have a show?
ReplyDelete(throws hands up) I tried, I tried. Maybe I picked the wrong story. Deal with it.
ReplyDeleteThe answer is....we don't know! Not even Wikipedia knows who he is.
ReplyDeleteHey, the city isn't all bad, we got Kurt Angle from there.
ReplyDeleteLol.
ReplyDeleteAnd a Daniel Bryan Wrestlemania 30 title win.
ReplyDeleteIf that were true he wouldn't masquerade around the BoD as cultstatus.
ReplyDeletespacedust was covering it up.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever tried to drive anywhere in that city? A truly miserable experience, hell must be an endless loop of trying to navigate Pittsburgh streets. In C-Town I can get downtown with like 4 left turns.
ReplyDeleteExcept for the weekend specials in the camping and sporting aisles.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty great how no one knew who the fuck this guy was.
ReplyDeleteWhen's the last time the WWE title wasn't defended at a PPV. The last I remember was TLC 2012 when Punk was hurt and was going to lose it to the Rock at the next PPV anways.
ReplyDeleteHappened a lot in the past, with tons of tag team main events, but yep, very rare these days, unless there's an injury.
ReplyDeleteAwful awful awful. I drove there to my buddys for the Royal Rumble and was terrified. The hills, the terrible roads, and the ice was miserable.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy Carson Street in the Summer though.
ReplyDelete99.98%
ReplyDeleteYou guys vastly overestimate the technical no-how of the average person. Do you truly believe normal people are using VPN's just to get the WWE Network?
Most normal people couldn't program their VCR's back in the day, that level of stupidity hasn't changed all that much since then.
Exactly. Not sure if it will go up to 1 million after Canada and the European countries will have access, but it will be a big amount for sure.
ReplyDeleteThis message has been brought to you by The Church of Vince McMahon of New Orleans Saints.
ReplyDeleteLocated in the Silverdome.
ReplyDeleteBret was right about Pittsburgh!
ReplyDeleteThis is funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Grp5-bvMo7U&feature=youtube_gdata_player
ReplyDeleteEven Miz is funny in this.
So is Bryan gonna just keep the title and defend it at the June 29 PPV? The fact that they've been dragging things out seems to point that way.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the injury isn't nearly as bad as they've let on?
I have no idea why he has a show and why people would watch it. I blame all the drugs today.
ReplyDeleteHow dare a guy get a job to pay his bills.
ReplyDeleteOnly one way to find out!!
ReplyDeleteWith Payback all set, they already don't have a title match. Next is Money in the Bank and I guess you don't NEED a title match as the Money in the Bank match(es) are what sell that show. So if he's back by Battleground, little is missed. If he can't come back until SS, I'm sure they can come up with an entertaining match for Battleground *cough*Wargames*cough*.
ReplyDeleteI know how this blog loves its Target jokes, but as the resident (and only) Shane Douglas mark/apologist here, I feel compelled to make sure your jokes are at least factually accurate.
ReplyDeleteShane is a middle school teacher.
I guess I really am the only person who doesn't care about War Games. I'm in the "You've seen 1 match, you've seen them all" camp. (which is apparently a very lonely camp)
ReplyDeleteSo World Wrestling Entertainment is a person? And a man? Explains a lot.
ReplyDeleteYou're in a lot of camps by yourself.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly isn't a fish. Its a MAN!
ReplyDeleteOf course it'll hit a million. Hell i'd guess the U.S. number is at least 800K right now.
ReplyDeleteI notice it says the UK by Summerslam but no mention of Canada yet. I wonder what's the hold-up.
I thought they only made the one movie. Who was in the sequel?
ReplyDeleteI enjoy a GOOD WarGames match, it's a fun concept match. What you said could be said about the Rumble. But I have no illusions, I doubt we'll ever see WarGames in the WWE.
ReplyDeleteBut they're no longer initials. "ESPN" doesn't stand for anything anymore, same goes for most initialized network names actually. Also "Texas A&M."
ReplyDeleteWWE will NEVER EVER stage a true War Games.
ReplyDelete2 Rings just isn't their style.
The only interest I'd have in it would be if they had the faces win the coin toss. Where we'd see the heels get slaughtered from the start to the finish, while the crowd enjoys every moment of it.
ReplyDeletealicia fox's new gimmick:
ReplyDeleteawful, or fucking awful?
Shane's real name is Troy?
ReplyDeleteYOU'RE TALKING ABOUT JOHN TENTA, AREN'T YOU?
ReplyDeletei bet you're talking about john tenta
Awful.....ly fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteMartin Short and Jason Alexander. And that joke is going to fly over everybody's head.
ReplyDelete*sigh*
ReplyDeletehope you had a nice weekend, phantom downvoter
ugh, NO
ReplyDeleteTrue. It needs to be Igloo compatible I guess.
ReplyDeleteThat segment last night was so bad, it was good.
ReplyDeleteNo, there are tons of people who take contrary positions over the internet they don't really believe, just to try and shock or outrage others into giving them attention. Its actually pretty common.
ReplyDeleteYou don't know all the 'rasslers real names?
ReplyDelete*rolls up Observer, strikes nose*
"Bad smark! Bad! Outside!"
I agree, it's a pipe dream but I think WarGames could be fine with 4 on 4 in a hell in a cell.
ReplyDeleteYou may find this shocking, but I enjoy your posts. Nice to see that not everybody is overly sensitive. (didn't expect THAT one, eh? I'm killing you with KINDNESS!! )
ReplyDeleteVince promised that they'd get 50 million people subscribing to the Network in Canadia. The investors just realized something...
ReplyDeleteI know real names, just never checked out Shane's.
ReplyDeleteA cursory attempt to find video of Slick telling Kamala that he is a man was unsuccessful, mainly because I gave up before I hit send. But if someone wants to throw that here, I'll take partial credit for the idea.
ReplyDeleteWWE 12 even gave us a sample of what it could be like.
ReplyDelete"I know real boobs, just never checked out Shane's."
ReplyDeleteWho moonlights at Target?
ReplyDeleteAlso, let the "Dean Douglas" jokes commence.
Yeah, surprised he never showed up on the weekend.
ReplyDeleteElimination Chamber 3 on 3 elimination tag match.
ReplyDeleteThe world couldn't handle the moobs that lurk under Shane's old man t-shirt.
ReplyDelete- According to Wrestling Observer Radio (via rajah.com), Christian is ready to return to the ring. The last time he was ready to come back to action, the WWE delayed the return for several weeks. No official word on when he will return to action."
ReplyDeletethere is official word, however, that he will be injured again and the shelf within a month and a half
Shane is the CHAMPION OF LANCASTER, PA.
ReplyDeleteShane Douglas was a UWF Television Champion in '87?
ReplyDeleteI wonder why he never made the move to the NWA until what 1989?
Fucking awful
ReplyDelete"fat guy outta control" plancha
ReplyDelete:sighs:
ReplyDeleteI think it's time for him to hang up the boots.
He does have a life.
ReplyDeleteTelevision contracts?
ReplyDeleteHe could dislocate his shoulder doing that.
ReplyDeleteYeah, one victory for him.
ReplyDeleteIf my kid had him as a teacher, I would have to force him to cut a promo on my kid, complete with nails on chalkboard. How could you not?
ReplyDeleteI wasn't ridiculing him. it was a glaring error in the first sentence and thought he might want to correct it. I would like someone to tell me.
ReplyDeleteQuite possible. They do air NXT up here, but i can't imagine THAT could be the hold-up.
ReplyDeleteIf he didn't do it at a Parent-Teacher night, I would complain to the school board and have him fired.
ReplyDeletehe was there in '88, definitely by the spring
ReplyDeleteshane douglas: whitebread babyface
Terrific.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't you upvote that downvoter? You won that round.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Take Del Rio and half the roster with him.
ReplyDeleteIts kind of amazing how long he was actually around before 89-90.
ReplyDeletePre-Dynamic Dudes?
ReplyDeleteWasn't he in a random Royal Rumble too? Or was that post Dudes?
KFC also is no longer "Kentucky Fried Chicken"... at least not in the legal field.
ReplyDeleteStop downvoting me Shane!
ReplyDeleteWho I'll bet makes his bills, unlike cool, dry drunk senior citizens.
ReplyDeleteI'd be surprised--- even though you're right, they don't NEED it--- if they went without a title match at Money in the Bank. I'm just holding out hope that they're working Bryan's injury and it's actually not as bad as they've leaked out to Meltzer etc.
ReplyDeleteI think that was '90. Had a pretty good showing too IIRC.
ReplyDeleteTerrible gimmick, terrible performer.
ReplyDeleteHow the hell she's stayed employed all this time is a mystery for the ages.
They'll just give a show to anybody now.
ReplyDeleteHis Rumble appearance was definitely post-Dudes.
ReplyDeleteIs it 40?
ReplyDeleteIntense brawling and important feuds aren't their style.
ReplyDeleteShe's good with her mouth.
ReplyDeleteI want to develop a show about my office. It would be a ratings disaster.
ReplyDeleteSo you want no peril or drama. Huh.
ReplyDeleteThen you either have shot taste, or weren't watching during his series with Orton
ReplyDeleteImagine if they left and went to Jarrett's group?
ReplyDeleteI'm betting that applied to Askana,Ashley Massaro,Jackie Gayda and a few more notables over the years.
ReplyDeleteAustin went close to 4 years on a bad neck only missing a few months here and there. I'm thinking Bryan is in a similar spot. His career will probably be done before mania 35 but he shouldn't miss more than 20% of the time total, here and there. At least hopefully not.
ReplyDeleteYou spelled it "advetise" without the "r" not either one of those ways.
ReplyDeleteI'm today's society, I could see it getting 2 seasons.
ReplyDeleteI want Double J to build a Mid-South Wrestling type of group.
ReplyDeleteIf it lasts 3 years than try to expand.
Meh gimmick. Would be better on a better Diva.
ReplyDeleteThere is zero peril or drama, because it's literally *ALWAYS*
ReplyDelete-Heels dominate for 2 minutes
-Faces dominate for 2 minutes
-Heels dominate for 2 minutes
-Faces dominate for 2 minutes
-Heels dominate for 2 minutes

I hear lots of complaints about predictability, Wargames is about the most predictable match in history. AT least the faces giving the heels a 30 minute super comeuppance would be fresh.
McMahon sometimes like his sugar brown,
ReplyDelete#JustKidding.
ReplyDeleteLast hashtag ever, I swear. I want to punch myself.
Unfortunately, all the interesting characters have either left or died. I'd need to populate with a whole new crop of weirdos first.
ReplyDelete:laughs out loud for no reason:
ReplyDeleteWhat are you trying to say? RAW really was bad last night and it wasn't just this blog saying so? Nah, we are all negative and expect every RAW to be like WM 17
ReplyDeleteThat's what will bring them in.
ReplyDeleteWay to point that out an hour after someone else already did it.
ReplyDelete*Vinson Did It! Vinson Did It"
The waitress at IHOP corrected me when I called it International House of Pancakes. I still got my crepes, though.
ReplyDeleteHuh? He lasted just over 2 years before his body gave out and that's only with him fighting through it for the biggest paydays in the history of the biz.
ReplyDeleteOnce he got it fixed late '99 he came back a different man. But even that took a full year.
I didnt even notice after you posted. I am not offended so thank you
ReplyDeleteTrue, though I'd bet WWE is a lot stricter about what it takes to clear an active wrestler than they were in Austin's days. They weren't doing concussion tests for instance until just a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely agree though about Bryan's career. Hopefully he packs in a bunch of bigtime main events and makes a load of money in the next 3 years and then gets out while the gettins good. (Which as we saw with Punk, might be the modus operandi of the new generation.)
He lost that title to "The Angry Amish Warrior" Roadkill.
ReplyDeleteWhy they hired Stanley Blackburn as legal counsel we'll never know.
ReplyDelete...said no one ever
ReplyDeleteI gotta say, the return of HHH as a full time top heel and the injury to D Bry, along with the burial of Del Rio and sticking Cena with an act I don't care about as taken all the steam out of me as a fan of the current product. Thank god for the network. It will be 2016 at least by the time I get around to the current product.
ReplyDeleteYeah well I'm hoping with new medical procedures it works out better for Bryan.
ReplyDeleteThat last part really struck a nerve, didn't it? That's like the 4th time you've repeated it today.
ReplyDeleteI think I read somewhere WWE had a deal with whatever The Score is now (between losing Renee and the Basketball Jones I don't follow them).
ReplyDeleteHa, WWE has just created a 50/50 product.
ReplyDeleteI wouldnt say strike a nerve. I found it a bit amusing.
ReplyDeleteHe needs to hang it up for good.
ReplyDeleteWhy even risk further injury, unless he is broke.
Sportsnet 360 and yes they have a deal with them, they air all WWE programming in Canada all 8 hours of it weekly!
ReplyDeleteRaw,Smackdown,NXT,WWE Experience & Vintage Collection.
But only 1 of those shows airs on the WWE Network, so something doesn't add up.
Stop Downvoting me Vince..
ReplyDelete...and Linda.
Stop downvoting me, Alicia.
ReplyDeleteI think its a great gimmick. She's killing it. I'm entertained.
ReplyDeleteHe also was a jobber to Savage either shortly before or after Wrestlemania 3 as Troy Martin.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm just glad that my expectations are low enough where I can find a 2014 episode of Raw perfectly fine. I guess it is what it is, and as we seem to say almost daily at this point, AGREE TO DISAGREE. :)
ReplyDeleteAlberto was one of the most overused guys in the history of the company. He's been phoning it in for the last 2 years too.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely time for him to go. At least for a year or two.
Downvote :(
ReplyDeleteSure, i knew he was around then but random jobber and UWF champion are 2 vastly different things.
ReplyDeleteI guess that explains why Shane got such a good push in 1992 and then swiftly left soon after Bill Watts got the boot.
If Rey and Sin Cara never got injured, Del Rio probably wouldn't have been used as often for the main event scene.
ReplyDeleteAksana, eh?
ReplyDeleteI... have to go.
As do i, but i don't think Daniel's neck is anywhere close to being as fucked up as Stone Cold's was.
ReplyDeleteWell, I think it's a stupid gimmick, but she obviously knows what she has with it and is trying to make the most of it. Which is entertaining me as well.
ReplyDeleteScary thing is he's only been on the roster since Summer 2010!
ReplyDeleteFeels a lot longer.
I agree to that.
ReplyDeleteNot saying this is the worst period ever, but they really have been putting out a subpar product since Mania, which was a really good show.
She is making the best of it. More over than any other diva right now
ReplyDeleteOrndorff too
ReplyDeleteYep, he had great potential, but then WWE dropped the ball when he lost to Edge at Mania. Never felt like a main eventer after that, despite winning 2 WWE titles and 2 WHC titles. Now, it's just sad to watch him.
ReplyDeleteI like the basic War Games concept (two gangs in a cage fighting til a submission ending) and would love to see WWE do it because... well why not.
ReplyDeleteBut haven't the majority of the actual War Games matches kinda sucked? Sure there were awesome Road Warriors vs Horsemen or Sting's Squadron vs Dangerous Alliance matches... But there also were a bunch of shitty nWo War Games, a Hogan vs Dungeon of Doom War Games, a triple threat War games, a War games that was centered around the Shockmaster, another that was won by El Gigante, a War Games where the heel faction was led by Colonel Parker...
I mean, it seems like WCW botched the concept pretty regularly, probably more often than they got it right.
Yep, Mysterio made his finisher look like a killer.... Edge just countered out of it like a regular armbar. Cred: LOST.
ReplyDeleteChristian as well, and Rey was put on the shelf twice by Del Rio. That move was like kriptanite to Rey.
ReplyDeleteSeries with Orton was excellent! Forgot about that (so maybe it wasn't that excellent, but SummerSlam ruled). Christian was booked as a total tool, though. He won a World Title (lol) by DQ! And then jobbed every match after.
ReplyDeleteSort of like Brock Lesnar with ring steps.
ReplyDeletelike aj, who was already doing the crazy gimmick
ReplyDeleteaj was killing it before
ReplyDeleteit's like she's trying to channel both aj lee and pillman, and failing miserably
ReplyDelete"get the hell off of my tv, you're annoying me and i don't care if you get your comeuppance - i just dont want to see you anymore" =/= "over"
ReplyDeleteYou're able to glean all that from the booing that ALicia Fox has been getting? She's not getting "boring" chants or anything, she's a heel who's getting booed.
ReplyDelete*i* don't want her on my tv
ReplyDeleteHe was awesome.
ReplyDeleteAh gotcha
ReplyDeleteYou're a doctor whose examined both necks?
ReplyDeleteIt's the post-Mania lull, made more annoying this time around due to the circumstances beyond everyone's control with Daniel Bryan.
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying things would have been better had D-Bry not had life shit all over him over the last 8 weeks, but it might have been slightly less of a doldrum.
TLC 2012 is correct.
ReplyDeleteI was into Del Rio as a top act bigtime when he started. The loss to Edge really took the shine off of him in my book, and overall I think he's been pretty mediocre since Punk beat him for the title.
ReplyDeleteThe Sheamus-ADR WHC feud was death, and once they took away the car and Ricardo and teh rich guy gimmick he's basically been Generic Heel #732.
He's obviously a talented guy who they could have used better, but I really would prefer he goes away for a few years. Or goes to Jarrett's league or ROH or AAA and gets a fresh start.
I'd be very surprised if she even knew who Brian Pillman was.
ReplyDeleteThese new crop of Divas don't exactly seem to be wrestling fans,at most they passed by the tv when one of their brothers was watching it as a kid.
And you could do a mini-peril segment anyway. Heel 3 (or 4) brings in weapon, two minutes of the heels getting the crowd riled up with cheapshots galore... then the next face REALLY puts the heels in a bad spot when he steals the weapon.
ReplyDelete"World Wrestling Entertainment is a creative genius. The whole creation of the
ReplyDeleteuniverse was fashioned by his ever-toiling hands. All living mortals should praise his name and image."
... What?
Get over yourself.
ReplyDeleteI never liked the Match Beyond aspect.
ReplyDeleteSince no actual wrestler could be eliminated in any way, the match couldn't end until the final participant entered.
Doesn't that make the majority of the match meaningless? There's no drama since we're just waiting for the next guy to enter. Before those who say what about the Royal Rumble, at least people get eliminated before # 30 enters.
No, only Farva could make this judging.
ReplyDeleteHulk Hogan is currently leading the WWE.com poll on who should be the next Raw General Manager at 42%. The next highest is Paul Heyman at 11%.
ReplyDeleteCue the "nobody wants to see Hogan" song and dance that you guys always give around here.
Plus, it often ended with the weaklink of the heel team (often a manager) submitting in a heartbeat. LAAMEEE...
ReplyDeleteI'd be okay with it, ANYTHING is better than a Heel GM at this point.
ReplyDeleteOf course why would the Authority appoint a GM who goes against their wishes?
Cue up Vinnie Mac or namedrop the Board Of Directors?
Yep, anything other than the formula that's been done 100% of the time.
ReplyDelete"World Wrestling Entertainment is a creative genius. The whole creation of the
ReplyDeleteuniverse was fashioned by his ever-toiling hands. All living mortals should praise his name and image."
Honestly, I'd love a long, long break from heel authority figures overall. They've been a major part of storylines since Commissioner Slaughter in late 1997 with only very brief breaks.
ReplyDeleteBut I wanted to make the point about Hogan. He helped sell tickets in UK and Japan, too. Still a draw.
