Adam Rose Update
Rose's match against Damien Sandow at Money in the bank was considered his "Pay-Per View Chance" and the fact that the crowd did not get into the match has made things worse for him with Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn.

With the cutbacks Adam Rose's posse has been reduced to an invisible dog leash.
ReplyDeleteWhere are the SNMEs I thought they went up today?
Rose's gimmick is ten years too late.
ReplyDeleteSo a minimum of $10 million in cutbacks. Woof.
ReplyDeleteIt was DOA.
ReplyDeleteHis debut segment was pathetic. It was the worst way to introduce someone as a new character.
A gimmick that relies on production needs as much production as possible and it looked as low rent as you could get
Needed more rosebuds?
ReplyDeleteSNME was never on the schedule to be added today. This morning they put up Raw #101, Raw #102, and Piper's Pit from Mr. T from The War to Settle the Score sandwiched between.
ReplyDeleteI think pyro is an easy first cut. Raw doesn't need it.
ReplyDeleteNeeded anything to make it not look as low rent as it did.
ReplyDeleteThey posted on Twitter that it would be up today.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame the Shield already had the enter through the crowd gimmick as Rose would have got the audience more on his side if he'd come in through the crowd with his posse
ReplyDeleteEasy:
ReplyDeleteCut out the Hollywood writers, purchase a booker instead, tell the talent 'make us some money, or you're out'.
I must be sort of right, cos STONE COLD SAID SO: http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/490417-steve-austin-talks-scripted-promos
I miss the 'pyro and ballyhoo' of the old Attitude Era Raws. It always got the crowd pumped and upped the adrenaline.
ReplyDeleteStill see zero wrong with his debut. If the crowd didn't like it, so be it. Maybe it was an NXT only gimmick.
ReplyDeleteI remember a Hyatte quote from the old Mop-ups, "Raw starts, and the WWF blows another cool million on pyro". Sounds about right.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say some of the lighting and the Tron/HD set, but I assume they already own those and just have to operate them. Pyro is a consumable that they can avoid.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the Repo man will come back... And not as an employee, if ya catch my drift!!
ReplyDeleteThey needed to go 'the whole hog' with it, rather than build it up.
ReplyDeleteI still fail to understand the logic in not going all-in with this kind of gimmick.
You can't be half pregnant with this one, and you can only make a first impression once.
It was doomed to fail after a half-hearted debut, imo.
I still think the fact that his followed were called prolapsed arseholes was a bit of an issue...
ReplyDeleteI never quite got over that one.
They should go back to making it look like RAW was taped from some low rent bingo hall in 1994.
ReplyDeleteso you think adding a few bells and whistles and pyro would have turned him into a major player? The crowd would still have had the exact "What the hell is going on??" vibe one way or the other. no amounts of cheap pyro would have changed that. Zero difference would have been made.
ReplyDeleteDidn't say pyro, necessarily. More people, just a more grand entrance.
ReplyDeleteIt was so 'who's this indy guy?'.
Brilliant, also bring back squashes and goofy characters!
ReplyDeleteYep, they need to get over this inferiority complex they have when comparing themselves to everything else on TV and go back to doing things the pro wrestling way.
ReplyDeletehe could have had 300 people following him and dancing. I still stand by my opinion that nothing would have changed. The crowd's reaction was not "this is so indy", it was "What the f*ck am I watching?" Remember that the overwhelming majority of that crowd were casual fans who have never seen NXT. they were more shocked than disappointed.
ReplyDeleteRose's NXT character seemed pretty interesting, no idea why the radical overhaul was needed. I guess someone saw 'Get Him To the Greek' and thought it'd be hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI do that PG didn't help this character, either.
ReplyDeleteThey were party goers, who didn't drink, or even hint at doing drugs... It always made it feel a bit whatever to me.
Yeah... that isn't what cutback means.
ReplyDeleteYeah what he said. It's not good for a struggling (in the eyes of share holders) service to make promises on twitter and not fulfill them.
ReplyDeleteSOCIALIST!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, they did. Still have 14 hours to do so.
ReplyDeleteyou guys are all lemons.
ReplyDeleteMan that was just about as many cliches as you could possibly squeeze into one post.
ReplyDeleteThey should have had Jonny Manziel come out with the rosebuds, rolling up 20's like he was about to snort some coke.
ReplyDeleteCutback = saving on money.
ReplyDeleteNot employing 20 Hollywood writers would be saving money.
I was honestly going to write 'and any other cliché you can possibly imagine'.
ReplyDeletetrue but when their regular routine is to have stuff up by morning they should probably stick with it.
ReplyDeleteThey make like $10 an hour or something
ReplyDeleteLIVE FROM THE FRED RUST ICE ARENA IN DELAWARE IT'S MONDAY NIGHT RAW!!!
ReplyDeleteRaw Preview: same old shit.
ReplyDeleteCutbacks: drop all the celebrity cameos. Cut back on catering. Cheaper writers. Fire Kevin Dunn. Leave NXT alone.
Rose: I think Rose was used perfectly last week in the Twisted Tea segment. Use him to schill various products in a wacky segment each week. It's perfect use of a mid carder and it brings in revenue. Win-Win.
Now we're talking!
ReplyDeleteRAW Preview: Santino turns heel on Cena
ReplyDeleteLIVE FROM FRED DURST'S GARAGE! RAW IS NOOOOOKIE!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL where you read that? The writers I think make like 6 figures.
ReplyDeleteThere is no chance they make 6 figures. Pretty sure that guy that was responsible for the most viewed post in BoD history said he made $10 or maybe it was $12
ReplyDelete10 Milion in cutbacks could just be scraping The Marine 5, 6 and 7
ReplyDeleteThey've already cut the bandwith (numerous complaints on FB about poor video and freezing... I know it's happened to me over the past 8 days many times after not one problem) and started pre-taping the Raw Pre-Show so it looks like the Network is being cheaped on, already. Whatever. I wonder if the new Network periods offers $10-a-month for 1 year or $15-a-month for 6 months to lock more people in.
ReplyDeleteLiving in Connecticut? Impossible that they are paid barely above what someone at McDonald's makes.
ReplyDeleteNo way. Who would work for that little? The only thing I found was this by Schrerererre
ReplyDeletePlease tell me how much do WWE writers make? What is their usual starting salary? Are they entitled to company benefits? What is their traveling schedules like?
The assistants usually start around $30,000 a year and it goes up from there. A guy like Brian Gewirtz can make six figures. Yes, they get company benefits like health insurance, 401K, etc. For the most part, they go to all the TV tapings and PPVs. They make occasional trips down to developmental to scout talent. And, they put in a lot of time leading up to the shows via meetings, conference calls, writing and re-writes. It's a job you really need to love to do because you don't get much of a life outside of work.
That would be the smart thing to do. I'll be interested on what happens with the bandwidth.. It was pretty bad for MITB so one would think they will expand it back out some from there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a very NWA-ish episode of Raw this is... Jim Cornette on commentary. Macon, GA. And jobbers including Rip Rogers, Mark Starr and The Italian Stallion (his spaghetti eating championship was immediately mentioned by Cornette). And SID SID SID SID
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's probably time to get out of movies, if they're needing to trim the budget.
ReplyDeleteThe goofy characters are making a comeback.
ReplyDeleteSandow, Rose, Emma, etc.
Movies are making minimal profits now due to being just one of several co-distributors and WWE is OCD about having a a Hollywood presence.
ReplyDeleteI truly believe Vince thinks they are just one hit away from breaking out.
ReplyDeleteThe co-distriubtor thing works, but they don't need to be making movies in house.
ReplyDelete*flips the bird*
ReplyDeleteThat's BS. The lowest level entry employees START at $12. Interns without benefits started at $10.
ReplyDeleteI imagine this is try for the karen gillian movie or the Halle Berry movie but for the Marine where they are sticking their wrestler in the title role they must be the primary financier.
ReplyDeleteIt would have certainly increased his chances of getting over as a midcard act.
ReplyDeleteBesides England, no other crowd has really cared about him
Another thing is, there are tons of these reports and Vince and Dunn don't like him, etc etc, yet he's undefeated. I guess I'll just believe it when he does start going on a losing streak. (and hey, it could very well happen very soon. Just saying i'll wait)
ReplyDeleteHey, it is what it is! Let's play it out and see where it goes.
ReplyDeleteRose reminds me of something that I would see at a Bingo Hall.
ReplyDeleteOn the interview process and pay:
ReplyDelete"Pay was $13 an hour with time and a half for overtime, and there was lots and lots of overtime. I worked 50-60 hours every week.
Interviews were pretty typical. They
asked me questions about past job experiences, why I wanted to work for
WWE, and made sure I knew the high demands I was getting myself into. I
don't think a degree would be enough necessarily. The other writer's
assistants got in because they had a good amount of TV experience. One
of them, the oldest, used to be Howard Stern's personal assistant for a
few years. Another worked on Maury. Another worked for ESPN. I had an
internship at CNBC while in college, have a documentary that's played
around the world (rather not divulge it) and had some people put in a
good word. Plus I was hired by a clueless dude as stated earlier. But a
big part of interviews is also just being clean-cut, professional and
charismatic and acting like someone that people would want to work
with."

Holy Shit, what job is this?
ReplyDeleteSomething about telling stories!
ReplyDeleteDamn they hit a home run with that Sycho Sid theme music.
ReplyDeleteWriter's assistant = Coffee and printing out paper's aka being a bitch. Not a writer.
ReplyDeleteSo the question is what now? Is he likely to get dropped or repackaged?
ReplyDeleteDon't be a lemon!
ReplyDeleteStill not a useful response. Show me how much a writer makes, the show me how many of them there are and come up with a total... then tell me if they wouldn't save just as much by cutting someone like Ryback or something.
ReplyDeleteSNME 1-13 is now up...along with the 06 episode
ReplyDeleteHe is what, 3-0 on WWE TV and PPV?
ReplyDeleteThat means nothing. Xavier Woods even won his first few matches
I pasted you something below. I'll paste it again.

didnt read the preview so if they mentioned it my b. I really hope they let Santino give a serious farewell on RAW, it would only be right. Yeah he was corny, but once in a blue moon he got a chuckle out of me and he'll be missed.
ReplyDeleteLet's check with Logan Scisco.
ReplyDeleteWhile that looked awful and I was afraid guys were going to hit the ceiling on back bodydrops, I would be open to the idea of more basic looking entrances and every arena having it's own unique look. This would allow for more weekend shows and such
ReplyDeleteNot seeing it on iPhone.
ReplyDeleteI had to refresh for it to show up. not sure if the push out to mobile devices would be delayed or what.
ReplyDeleteI read something that the cutbacks include delaying the production of Tough Enough for the Network, as well as pushing back production of a new season of Legends House. So the Network is involved in these cutbacks as well, as far as new original content goes.
ReplyDeleteIs it listed under Vault?
ReplyDeleteI see 'em! YES!
ReplyDeleteyes
ReplyDeleteDamnit they edited out
ReplyDeleteAnimotion - Obsession from the opening...
I wonder how much money they'd save if they ditched the crazy entrances and pyro and crazy video screens and lighted displays, and just had guys walk down a basic ramp like how wrestling shows used to look. And didn't color the crowds red and needless shit like that.
ReplyDeleteCleveland fans with a soul should boo him out of the building on his first game back.
ReplyDeleteLMAO...
ReplyDeleteIf it does, Jabari Parker is probably kicking himself right now.
ReplyDeleteFirst shot he makes, the arena will erupt.
ReplyDeleteThis is still pretty incomplete but if Gewirtz is making 100k it is pretty easy to assume that everyone else is making less than that. Which means the whole staff and their assistants are probably worth about a million dollars in salary... which you would have to replace in some way.
ReplyDeleteSo my question remains how is that a significant place to cut budget?
I don't see them on my iPhone yet.
ReplyDeleteSome dude posted all the records, and he was something like 10-0. Let's see what happens I guess! (I don't really care that much either way, i'm more of a BO-LIEVER than a Rosebud.)
ReplyDeleteWhy? The odd ones out are Waiters and Bennett.
ReplyDeleteSo if the Heat beat the Spurs this year, does LeBron even consider leaving?
ReplyDeleteHe intentionally tanked a Cavs workout to avoid being drafted by them, now they may get LeBron.
ReplyDeleteLove how people were whining earlier in the thread about them not being up as of 9am eastern. :)
ReplyDeleteYep he wanted to be in Milwaukee, now he's stuck with Jason Kidd and buttfarts.
ReplyDeleteI believe so. he wants a max deal, Wade's health is not improving and the team is not any better than it was.
ReplyDelete95% of his memorable moments were in a non-wrestling role, so I hope he stays around for years to come. GM or manager or something.
ReplyDeleteThat I know, but he wanted to be the man on a team. Playing on the Cavs wouldn't have got him that, with or without LeBron.
ReplyDeleteI think that would probably save a ton and make it more enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteI figure that since they already have the spotlights and video screens, it shouldn't cost that much to still use them. It's just extra stuff like new sets and pyro that could be costly.
ReplyDeleteAnd he lives an hour from Milwaukee, I believe.
ReplyDeleteManaging would work...maybe even his own show.
ReplyDeleteAs the person who was whining........shutup
ReplyDeleteHe wants to be stick there FOREVER!!
ReplyDeleteThat would be stupid.
ReplyDeleteThis is where these player's logic is stupid. You give me a million a year and I'll play ball for the Ku Klux Klan league.
ReplyDeleteNo way.
ReplyDeleteExactly what I said.
ReplyDeleteThe ones that hated him should continue to hate him or be labeled a hypocrite.
ReplyDeleteSix figures can mean 500k and up too. I highly doubt anyone would take this life consuming job for only 13 dollars an hour. Cutting a couple of writers can probably save them close to a million. In the end, who really knows because we are all basing our info found on the internet. I would to like to think cutting off some of their writers would actually MAKE them more money. Too many chefs in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteWhy? Letting him know..you are still wrong for ...not what you did but how you did it
ReplyDeleteNow he has money, fame and he'll be around his dumb-ass friends that will influence him to do dumb shit.
ReplyDeleteYou take it if you want to get in the door.
ReplyDeleteThis is Cleveland dude. They'll welcome him back with open arms because they have nothing else.
ReplyDeleteIt's a tough spot if you have someone on your team you hate and in the end you're love for the team tends to outweigh your feelings for one person..and god knows Cleveland just wants to win....SOMETHING
ReplyDeletei know that is what will most likely happen.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have been surprised if he wanted to play in Utah, honestly.
ReplyDeleteCutbacks: Time to close the training center in Florida that produces cookie-cutter WWE "Superstars". Other than shutting down entire divisions (movies I'm looking at you) I'm not sure what they can cut to get 10mil+
ReplyDeleteAdam Rose: So....pairing him off against someone who has been made to look like a fool for the past year plus and it doesn't go over, that's Rose's fault? This company is run by idiots.
I love the Knicks but hate J.R. Smith.
ReplyDeleteMaybe. Bosh apparently wants big money, so maybe he would leave either way. And if Bosh leaves, maybe LeBron looks elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteMonday Trivia: Who is the only WWE Hall of Famer to no-show their induction?
ReplyDeleteBilly Graham?
ReplyDeleteRight era, wrong person.
ReplyDeleteExactly. I have worked campaign job where you work 8am - 11pm 7 days a week (and more as the election gets close) for like $1300 a month... sometimes you have to do shit like that in order to do what you love.
ReplyDeleteWith the Cavs luck he'll trip over a water cooler and blow out his knee.
ReplyDeletePlus, he's going to be working a lot as, you know, AN NBA PLAYER. Milwaukee to Chicago is over an hour drive.
ReplyDeleteIt's not like Cleveland to Akron which never has traffic and is literally 30 minutes away.
I'm not the biggest follower of this stuff by why did Wade opt out? What kind of deal could he possibly come up with better than stick the Heat with his contract? He is done as an effective player over the course of a season or hell.. for more than one round of a playoffs.
ReplyDeleteI believe he was going to restructure his deal so the Big 3 could stay and they pull in another player.
ReplyDeleteso in other words if Lebron does go else where he has totally fucked Wade
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of deceased guys that fit under this.
ReplyDeleteBosh won't move until after Lebron decides what to do.
ReplyDeleteAndre the Giant
ReplyDeleteNo-show = Invited but didn't show up.
ReplyDeleteHouston REALLY wants him to sign.
ReplyDeleteWhatever. LeBron carried a diminished Wade to two more championships. He doesn't owe Dwyane anything.
ReplyDeleteDeceased.
ReplyDeleteHe may very well go, but I think Lebron has to decide first , then everyone else goes wherever.
ReplyDeleteArnold Skaaland
ReplyDeleteAll the glitz, glamor and fame that comes with playing in Milwaukee. It's the same set of circumstances that cut Glenn Robinson's career short three years earlier than it should have ended.
ReplyDeleteHow do we know they didn't invite Andre?
ReplyDeleteHe was there.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'd even go so far as to say Wade is not a starter in this league anymore. He'd be a great spark off the bench though.
ReplyDelete"Welcome Back! Welcome Back!"
ReplyDeleteI'm not crying for Wade but Lebron probably could have figured out if the a heat restructuring deal would have worked out and told wade sorry but no, allowing wade to collect his pay day. I mean it's dumb how they work these contracts to begin with so that a guy like Wade has all the money coming to him when he can't run a simple defensive play
ReplyDeleteMe too!
ReplyDeletewould he? you can go on youtube and watch a montage of him against the Spurs, on offense he might have a spark, but as the video showed there is that whole...getting to the other end of the court and guard someone..at that he was actually embarrassing to watch.
ReplyDeleteSantino carried many a RAW with a skit or quick promo during some lean creative times in the late 2000s.
ReplyDeleteJames Dudley
ReplyDeleteThat's why you give him 12-16 minutes off the bench.
ReplyDeleteThink I read from Meltzer that tonight instead of the RAW post game show, they are putting up a preview of the Monday Night Wars series.
ReplyDelete"You still got it!"
ReplyDeleteJust got a pop-up ad for another Free Week Trial of WWE Network. That plus the lagging video issues encountered over the past 8 days doesn't thrill me. Stop giving people shit for free.
ReplyDeleteListed at 11pm.
ReplyDeletePedro?
ReplyDeleteThere's only three real chefs: Vince, HHH and Steph.
ReplyDeleteEveryone else is there to put sprigs of parsley on the plate.
Cleveland fans sound like those desperate girls with no self-esteem who let their boyfriends fuck around on them as long as he doesn't leave them.
ReplyDeleteNo one will pay him what he wants to only get 12-16 minutes of playing time in return.
ReplyDeleteHe was there and probably drove everyone there in the limo.
ReplyDeleteCORRECT. He was working as the Spanish announcer with WCW in 1995 and didn't want to possibly create issues with his job, so he no-showed.
ReplyDeleteSavio Vega accepted for him. You win the No Prize.
ReplyDeleteHe can go sit down with Allen Iverson, then.
ReplyDeleteCool, I remembered him being involved with WCW somehow but that was about 90% wild guess.
ReplyDeleteI'll wait by the mailbox!
Posting that letter was the dumbest thing he ever did .
ReplyDeleteyea. If this does happen the best thing that will come from this is the destruction of Miami. Assuming Lebron and Bosh go....surely they won't resign wade to play 20 minutes at best. That city will go back to not caring about the team and probably booing Lebron and Bosh when they come to town. because... Miami.
ReplyDeleteThe Knicks would. They always spend stupid money.
ReplyDeleteThat Adam Rose character is so 1995 New Generation. The performer doing it isn't doing anything wrong, the character simply does not work.
ReplyDeleteMe too. I think most Knick fans are the same as us too....
ReplyDeleteBye-bye, productive day.
ReplyDeleteDid WWF induct him just to dick with WCW?
ReplyDeleteAre you telling me that Andrea was a bad deal for them?? *gasp*
ReplyDeleteI didn't have any of the previous online services or on demands for WWE how does the Monday Night Wars work? Do they just bundle a given weeks Raw and Nitro? They don't do any editing do they?
ReplyDeleteJust wait if they hire Steen. Then there could never be too many chefs. #Farva
ReplyDeleteIf I'm LeBron, I go back to Cleveland, which has the young players to be a force to come for years. Since he left, his public image has suffered and going back would help fix it. LeBron would really become the "hero" of the league and not cheered against like he has been since he became a Heat member.
ReplyDeleteHe'd be the hero to the Cavs, everyone else would still hate him.
ReplyDeleteThere is zero reason to care about anything he does. He's not a heel or a face, just some dude with a feminine demeanor who is a "partier".
ReplyDeleteWhen he comes out --- "Ha ha ha, anything can happen here in the WWF, what a ride!" and "I can barely hear myself think, McMahon, these fans are blowing the roof off the Bob Carpenter Center!"
ReplyDeleteI think its a whole newly produced show. But I am not clear on if it will be a talking heads type deal or what. Guess we will know more tonight.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lemon'y thing to say. And he's a face, isn't he? He's only wrestled heels so far.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking as a Raptors fan from Toronto, I KNEW when Bargnani was eventually traded, it would be to the Knicks.
ReplyDeleteOnly based on who he faces but the character has no motivations to either side.
ReplyDeleteNah, I think it was because he deserved it, unlike today when they induct people to sell tickets to a HOF. Only 700 people attended the '95 in Philly at a hotel.
ReplyDeletePreviously on wwe 24/7 they would play an episode of raw and nitro back to back. There were some minor edits like music and editing out any wwf mentions. Other than that, the shows were complete. Later on they would edit out any segments with Benoit. Seeing as the network has left Benoit intact, I don't see him being removed.
ReplyDelete[shouts Obsession at screen over generic music]
ReplyDeleteAt least they used the classic generic SNME music rather than some other generic music. Also gonna figure out how to get a cutoff SNME shirt like Mr T and Hulk had.
"Rose's match against Damien Sandow at Money in the bank was considered his "Pay-Per View Chance" and the fact that the crowd did not get into the match has made things worse for him with Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn."
ReplyDeleteI still don't get the gimmick, so I'm happy.
I disagree. I think the NBA/ESPN would spin it as if he was righting a wrong, so to speak. Plus, you know he'd give a press conference showing humility and saying how he's "home" again.
ReplyDeleteThe sports world and its fans eat that shit up.
Maybe his motivation is to have fun?
ReplyDeleteBarry Windham, not a great promo guy.
ReplyDeleteHe has a group of a half a dozen "partiers" that follow him around!
ReplyDeleteHow can you not GET that? It's really quite obvious that you should love... or hate(?)..
Huh. I don't actually get it either.
I think you're overthinking it.
ReplyDeleteThat's not a reason for someone to want to watch him,
ReplyDeleteI think they are trying to make him the white version of the dancing black stereotype that hypes the crowd up. It doesn't work at all.
ReplyDeleteThey might want to try him on a tag team with Heath Slater. It wouldn't hurt to have a jobber team for upper echelon teams like the Wyatts to squash and keep their heat.
That's not that far a leap. He can't keep up anymore.
ReplyDeleteIf Wade was still a force, LeBron wouldn't even entertain leaving.
I seriously doubt people are going to buy into that shit. Cleveland fans will, of course, but everyone outside of that? Naw.
ReplyDeleteCost cutting measures seem to not jibe with lower midcarder who has an entourage.
ReplyDeleteI still love how the Raps were barely a .500 team, then they dump approx. 32 million a year in salary (Rudy/Andrea), and they suddenly become super strong. Talk about win-win!
ReplyDeleteAlso, they would cut away from the show every once in a while and show a brief clip of someone being interviewed about a specific angle, but that was very rare.
ReplyDeleteThey also had Mitchell Cole intro each episode giving a preview of what was to come and have him at the end of the episode tease what might happen next. I'm imagining/hoping the Monday Night Wars series is more in-depth than that because otherwise, why wait nearly 5 months for nothing special?
The Bushwhackers and all kinds of intolerable comedy characters had the motivations of "having fun".
ReplyDeleteWhen I think cookie cutter I think the place that trained or converted Rollins, Ambrose, Bray, Bo and Big E.
ReplyDeleteNice joke. Liked it better in 2006.
"You deserve it!"
ReplyDelete
