WWE Main Event No Longer on the WWE Network
With the official launch of the WWE Network in Great Britain, the WWE is unable to broadcast Main Event in those countries due to an existing deal with Sky for that series and since the WWE Network is unable to geotag programming for certain regions and block the series in the United Kingdom that they have pulled the show from the Network until they can work something out.

Update on The Miz & Damien Mizdow
The plan is for the duo to split up with Mizdow showing embarrassing footage from the cameras that followed around the Miz, who will get pissed and that will lead to the split, with Sandow likely turning babyface. The company has praised both guys over the past few months.

I guess Reigns doesn't want to upset Vince or the writers at this VERY moment, when he has a Rumble win and Mania title win on the cards. If they suddenly decide he's disagreeable and a hothead and pull his super push, he'd probably regret it.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I was thinking. Its one thing to reject a promo from a writer but anther to reject VINCE's promos.
ReplyDeleteWait. So Reigns was like, "No thanks. No thanks. No thanks. Oh, this sufferin' succotash one seems alright. Keeper."
ReplyDeleteWWE Main Event: Surprise, Surprise. WWE botches again.
ReplyDeleteReigns: Um, okay.
Miz/Mizdow: Countdown on Sandow's drop...
Lashley: Good thing he doesn't have to wrestle for a while.
NXT: Cool.
TJ: Nintendo Direct is running now:
New Fire Emblem and Puzzle And Dragons X for the 3DS.
SUFFERING SUCCOTASH!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll keep the rest here:
ReplyDeleteFire Emblem's date was missed
Puzzle and Dragons comes out in May
Some Pokemon Match 3 game comes out in February
Wii U getting Wii games as digital downloads.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 comes out today
Punch-Out comes out next Thursday
Metroid Prime comes out on the 29th
Watch your language, please. There are kids reading this blog!
ReplyDeleteAs long as they hold off the Miz/Mizdow split until after the obvious comedy spot in the Rumble match.....
ReplyDeleteIf Reigns has been approving the scripts he has been getting I hope the on es he has been rejecting never fall into the hands of terrorists.
ReplyDeleteThat's why Reigns is a main event talent. Austin used to reject stuff but never had a better idea himself. Reigns rejects stuff and DEMANDS a a fairytale
ReplyDeleteBEELEEDAT!!!
ReplyDeleteWTF is up with your avatar?
ReplyDeleteIt's Mack, Mr. Cool. Sunny is back tonight.
ReplyDeleteI'm really starting to think he isn't winning the Rumble.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand, parralax sir.
ReplyDeleteSeriously. Stop whatever you're doing and go to Netflix and boot up Its Always Sunny right now.
ReplyDeleteWe don't know what the other choices were, to be fair. This could be gold in comparison.
ReplyDeleteAh ok. It is on my "Too watch" list.
ReplyDeleteWii U releases:
ReplyDelete-Kirby And The Rainbow Road: Feb. 22
-New Amiibo's next month (Their discontinuing some of the first wave RIGHT AFTER IT CAME OUT has turned me off on the idea.)
-Mario Party 10: March 20
-Splatoon: May
Oh my yes. That episode in particular, Nigh Man, is one of the funniest episodes of anything comedy EVER.
ReplyDeleteBut what if you are dead inside and don't get humor? :-(
ReplyDeleteAll the characters are sociopaths, you'll fit right in!
ReplyDelete...why would you assume I was talking about me?!?!?!
ReplyDelete"Reigns is all driving a lime green minivanand wearin' a chef's apron. It's super sick. He sees off in the distance some trees and stuff. Then a cardboard cut out of Pauley Shore runs after him, and he dives into a sick pile of puppies or something while reciting the pledge of allegiance. It's all pretty sweet."
ReplyDelete*blinks*
ReplyDeletesick fucking puppies
ReplyDeleteReigns isn't the most talented guy in the world and he hasn't risen above the material or anything (though I'm not sure anyone could rise above the material he gets), but it's amazing how much they've managed to fuck the poor guy up so far.
ReplyDeleteDAYMAN (Oh whoah oh!)
ReplyDeleteFighter of the Nightman! (Oh whoah oh!)
ReplyDeleteSee also: Ambrose, Dean. The company that always relied on mega face champions & antiheros took 3 great talents and only managed to make a good heel out of one of them. It's fucking mind boggling.
ReplyDeleteChampion of the sun! (Gayyyy!)
ReplyDeleteYou're a master of karate and friendship for everyone!
ReplyDeleteNew Theory: The writing team keeps coming up with worse and worse scripts for Roman Reigns, because he keeps rejecting them. It's their form of nerd rage.
ReplyDeleteDAYMAN.
ReplyDelete(Oh woah ohhhhhhhhh!)
ReplyDeleteThat...is entirely possible, actually. Or it's Vince's revenge.
ReplyDeleteFIGHTER OF THE NIGHTMAN.
ReplyDelete(Oh woah ohhhhhhhh!)
ReplyDeleteCHAMPION OF THE SUN.
ReplyDelete(Gay!)
ReplyDeleteYOU'RE A MASTER OF KARATE AND FRIENDSHIP FOR EVERYONE.
ReplyDeleteDAYMAN.
Suffering Succotash on them always splitting up tag teams.
ReplyDeleteHurts my heart.
:(
More Wii U releases
ReplyDelete-Xenoblade Chronicles X: 2015 release
-Mario vs Donkey Kong Tipping Stars: Wii U and 3DS release: March 5, download only
-Citizens of Earth: looks like Earthbound, developed by Atlus, coming to Wii U shop soon.
I still say the Mizdow angle should end with a match at WM for the rights to BE The Miz. Then, when Sandow wins, you have a new story where The Miz has to rough it as plain old Mike Mizanin, while Mizdow does an exponentially better job at being The Miz than he did.
ReplyDelete"According to Wade Keller of PWTorch, Reigns does have a history of rejecting scripts for promos, for those wondering."
ReplyDeleteGod, I'd hate to see what he has rejected if we've been getting Looney Tunes and Fractured Fairy Tales as promos he doesn't reject.
Or you know, lump them all into MEANINGLESS TAG TEAM TURMOIL!!!!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant. It's like when Harlem Heat feuded over the letter "T", except actually clever.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he has a history of rejecting scripts from the writer monkeys but doesn't really feel comfortable saying no to something Vince wrote for him. I know that sometimes Vince respects guys who stand up to him but he also seems very mercurial and could easily get pissed if some fairly new guy rejects something he personally wrote.
ReplyDeleteHrmm. Could it be that Reigns WANTS the John Cena Babyface character? I have no idea what he's like in real life. The only thing I know about him is that he seems to be a devoted father.
ReplyDeleteGreat job everybody, well done.
ReplyDeleteThe thing about Ambrose is that he's talented and experienced enough to "re-heat" later (even if that shouldn't need to be an option in the first place). Reigns needs more protection.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the only reason Vince is writing stuff is because Reigns rejected everything creative came up with. Be careful what you wish for, Charlie!
ReplyDeleteIt WAS a great job!
ReplyDeleteMizdow is in the ring at the Rumble, Miz gets tossed, Sandow tosses himself, Sandow complains that Miz got him tossed, is holding him back, boom instant WM feud.
ReplyDeleteBased on his out-of-character interviews, he seems like the type of guy who'd prefer the "edgy alternative to Cena" babyface a la Orton or Punk.
ReplyDeleteEither way, it shows that when the pressure and spotlight is on him, in the ring or out of it, if it's not one of his memorized signature spots, he flounders around and doesn't know how to flesh things out.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that much like a woman in a James Bond movie, he just didn't refuse hard enough.
ReplyDeleteThe only amiibo I want is the damn Shulk character, but I don't feel like dropping 75 bucks on a thirteen dollar toy which will have NO resale value because I actually want to use the thing.
ReplyDeleteThere really are, like, a million different directions they could take this breakup feud that are better than whatever they're planning to do right now.
ReplyDeleteI could see them discontinuing low-sellers, but announcing that characters are discontinued BEFORE any sales numbers come out? No bueno.
ReplyDeleteI am STOKED for Xenoblade. And I didn't even play the first one. But Shulk is my guy in Smash Bros. I would love to play Mother 3. Hope they release the trilogy.
ReplyDeleteIf I was Sandow that'd be the moment I refused to follow Miz's lead and he refuses to toss himself out. Miz gets mad. Sandow wins Rumble, dethrones Brock at Mania.
ReplyDeleteHe has probably given up at this point and is just accepting what they give him.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about that. Whatever criticisms one might have of his matches, he's never looked lost. He's never had a "Goldberg versus Regal" type of moment.
ReplyDeleteHump day! Got a Microsft certification test this morning and then I'm picking up a 6 pack of High Life and a triple cheeseburger at McDonalds and getting shitty to celebrate. LETS GET LIFTED!!!
ReplyDeleteMy sources say the plan right now is for a dance off at the Weestlemania Pre Show.
ReplyDeleteLulz, but maybe Miz gets so mad that his stunt double didn't self eliminate that he purposely gets Mizdow eliminated?
ReplyDeleteFinally finished Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, and ultimately, I ended up doing a complete 180 on the ship-to-ship combat and fleet management simulator. I got pretty deep into it and really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteStory was decent too, although the sooner they recognize that nobody gives a soaring shit about the present day storyline, the better off we'll all be.
I accept this. I got carried away with my fantasy booking towards the end there.
ReplyDeleteI really want to see those scripts Reigns is rejecting. Then I imagine someone like Aaron Sorkin writing his promos and wonder how he would do with that.
ReplyDeleteWith Brodus Clay's Mamas?
ReplyDeleteIt's probably some Attack of the Clones-level shit.
ReplyDeleteNot THAT bad, no, but not enough to keep the crowd engaged and be the top guy. The silence during his matches tells you that.
ReplyDeleteNew Nintendo 3DS: February 13
ReplyDeleteGood: Head tracking for the 3D effect
Bad: No AC Adapter (you can use older AC adapters, back to the DSi era, but if this is your first DS you'll have to buy a new one seperately
More 3DS games:
-Code Name:Steam : Missed the release date, it looks like a Valkyria Chronicles style strategy/shooter hybrid.
Xenoblade Chronicles, N3DS version: April 2015
Ironfall: "soon"
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate: Feb 13, bundle available at Gamestop only
It would've been a much better game as a standalone title away from the AssCreed crutches. Especially without the present day shit.
ReplyDeleteI'm watching Goldberg vs Regal right now. It's awful.
ReplyDeleteNever played SMG2, might have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteUpdate on Roman Reigns Promos
ReplyDeleteThey suck.
Watched Gone Girl last night. Holy shit that movie was awesome.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, dude.
ReplyDeleteI could see it as Vince's personal revenge.
ReplyDelete"Keep rejecting scripts, will you? Fine! I'll write them myself! Say no or I'll make you IC champion!"
And to finish:
ReplyDeleteLegend of Zelda, Majora's Mask 3D: N3DS release on Feb. 13
Also, a Zelda-themed N3DS will be available.
In relation, there is a Majora's Mask DLC for Hyrule Warriors coming out soon.
Continue to get less content for $9.99!!!
ReplyDeleteDude. Spoilers!
ReplyDeleteRE: Main Event
ReplyDeleteAnd nothing of value was lost.
That's what I've heard too: Pirating is AWESOME, the actual "game" is meh.
ReplyDeleteEveryone i've asked has said the same, play it for the Navy Simulation if nothing else.
ReplyDeleteWatching the Meng-Big Show match from Nitro. Show gives a pretty interesting look to the tron and camera after the match. It's a very different match that the crowd is eating up.
ReplyDeleteHey, Main Event occasionally has a good match. And it's only an hour.
ReplyDeleteLol, all the superstars and divas on the roster who need promotion, and who gets the fitness videos? HHH and Steph.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather get workout tips from a guy like HHH than from the full-time vanilla midgets on the roster!
ReplyDeleteEVERYTHING pirate related is awesome. Ship battles especially. But it's when the Assassin stuff is shoehorned in that it feels out of place.
ReplyDeletePlus, there are some really stupid missions. Like, you know how there are some AssCreed missions where you need to silently follow someone? They do that...but with your ship.
Honestly, I say as someone who beat it, despite its flaws, it's still worth at least playing through once.
I keep getting ads for those too. Money well spent WWE!
ReplyDeleteI partly think they think they can do better than DDP with his yoga.
AndyPG is now relegated to Superstars.
ReplyDelete"Make sure, when injecting your steroids, that you find the right vein. Aim for the bluest, most bulging one."
ReplyDeleteNot that the world needs more Cena, but he's the better physique for a fitness video. And Jesus H Christ, STEPH? Put the Bella twins or Paige or Aj on a friggin workout video.
ReplyDeleteI have seen some YouTube clips and Triple H looks really awkward for the whole video. Not comfortable explaining stuff to the camera at all.
ReplyDeleteNo I mean he carries petty grudges when someone doesn't fit his mold. And if you want to talk about who does and doesn't move ratings, I could bring up his buddy Randy Orton who actually DROPPED ratings during his run on top, but was none-the-less shoved down our throats for years. Or golden boy Roman Reigns. Admittedly he's probably more of McMahon's pet project but the crowd is already turning on him and it's only going to get worse. Oh and Punk seems plenty respectful to people who show him some.
ReplyDeleteNobody moves ratings anymore.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't call it chills, but the last time wrestling 'raised my eyebrows' was when Bruno went into the hall of fame and the Bret Shawn bury the hatchet promo. There is now literally nothing else that could happen that would draw my attention enough to watch or, heavens to betsy, pay them money.
ReplyDeleteWhat's sad is when you think of all the guys that Savage could have put over. Imagine ubber heel Savage having a run with the belt and being the guy to put Shawn over at mania.
ReplyDeleteObviously I'm not saying to make Savage a lifetime main eventer, but if I'm Savage I'm saying "Look, I've shown this loyalty while others haven't. Give me a run on top and the guy I put over will be shot up into the next hemisphere".
I know what you mean. Even if CM Punk was to make some shocking return to the Rumble and win it all to set up Brock-Punk II, I can't say it would make me watch again or anything
ReplyDeleteThe traction thing would have been tremendous. Rude visiting Liz in the hospital, in full Lurker mode!
ReplyDeleteI would also have loved to see that scenario with Rude vs. Dusty. It seemed the perfect contrast of characters in 1990. Rude antagonizing Dusty for being fat, but Dusty being the ultimate blue-collar representative of the 'rasslin fans'. Rude hitting the Awakening on Sapphire would have been EPIC.
By all accounts HHH and Orton hate each other off-screen, so I can guarantee you HHH isn't the one pushing Orton.
