THE WRESTLING THREAD: HHH KEEPS DOING HHH THINGS.....
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357
- Start date
I wish Sasha would have won and then Nya Jax comes out and destroys her. Anyway I hope this feud is over.
I really don't understand the logic behind this. Signs point to Baley or Emma if she's a face are next in line. Guess Nia Jax will return back to tv and start a feud with Sasha tomorrow or in the upcoming weeks.
wish JR couldve been calling commentary on this one"The referee needs TO STOP THE DAMN MATCH!!" etc
Sasha was tossed around like a rag doll at the end god dam....good match..
I loved the Women's match but I'm really hating the fact that they're playing hot potato with the title. And that Sasha only gets the Raw wins, while Charlotte gets the PPV wins. I want this feud to be over but I also want Sasha to have the title.
This would have been a great match to have Nia Jax or Awesome Kong come out, rip the cage door off, and destroy both women. Something like Kane's debut on Taker and HBK.
And WTF are they doing with The Brian Kendrick? Almost every top star is older than him. Some are older by like 10 year or more. They're writing his storyline like he's George Foreman going for the title in the 90s. The Brian Kendrick is not that old!

So post HitC and press Survivor Series, can we get a check in on how people in here are feeling about the brand spilt and the whole 'new era'.
I feel like there has been a lot of positive changes but the company is FAR from being great. And a lot of the reason for that is on the company themselves.

RAW has killed the cruiserweights in 2 months
A lot of the issues I hear are that the CWD doesn't feel like it's apart of Raw. Foley didn't announce the Perkins as the champion. He debuted like two weeks after the division started. The wrestlers haven't shown any character other than Swann. Vince told them to tone down the spots also.
Cedric should be the next Shelton Benjamin but the division is holding him back. HHH needs to book him better. Hardcore fans are high on him.
I wish Sasha would hold the belt at least till Mania.
I knew Vince would fuck up the cruiser weights

The problem with the cruiser-weight is they don't feel like a part of Raw. The purple lights and ring ropes, the lack of stars featured on the main roster beside Perkins and The Brian Kendrick, and the commentators talking about everything else under the sun whenever a cruiser-weight match is happening.
They're treating the whole division like how people used to treat the divas division. It's the new bathroom break match.

and wtf is it w/ Perkins and all the video game references..must be a fighting game fan
Sasha is headed towards a heel turn to feud with Baley. That NXT rivalry is going to continue heading into Mania.
Why on Earth are they feeding Rusev to Goldberg? Is there backstage heat on Rusev for something. Losing to Reigns and then being feed to Goldberg in less than 24 hours. 
And how much longer are they going to keep pretending that Goldberg is the fan favorite in this feud? The crowd is beyond Brock and Heyman. Even when he's insulting them, the crowd is still beyond them.

Sasha monkey was grabbing on to that little fabric like it was the only thing keeping it from falling off a cliff.
Goldberg isn't going over in his match. They can have Rusev interfere and keep Goldberg looking strong. If Goldberg wants to do more business they can have Goldberg vs Rusev at Mania. Having Lesnar respond to Goldberg in Minnesota was just bad judgment. That's Lesnar stomping ground. Heyman couldn't even get them to cheer for Bill.Why on Earth are they feeding Rusev to Goldberg?

WWE Announces New Weekly Cruiserweight Show On The Network
205 Live is coming to Tuesday nights.

WWE.com
WWE has announced today that a new weekly, one-hour show on Tuesday nights featuring Cruiserweight talent is coming to the WWE Network on 29 Nov. at 10 p.m. ET.
The show will be hosted by Mauro Ranallo and Corey Graves, and is set to star all the Cruiserweights currently on Raw, as well as many we haven't seen yet on the brand (Jack Gallagher, Tozawa). The show will be titled (ugh) 205 Live. Get it? Because the weight limit is 205 lbs. Yep.
Okay, looking past the name for a moment, this has a high probability of being the most entertaining show WWE puts on. This will likely be a Triple H presentation (he provided a quote on the press release, while Stephanie and Vince did not), and if it's anything like the CWC, we're in for something good.
However, it's a bit of a wonder how they can add an entire show based off the Cruiserweights when they're struggling to make them work at all on Raw. And then, there's the thought of another hour of WWE's narrative to sit though every week. With Raw, SmackDown, NXT and 205 Live, you're looking at a seven hour time commitment to get the full story, (that's ignoring Superstars) and at least 10 hours on pay-per-view weeks.
Mostly, though, what the hell were they thinking with 205 Live as the title? Hopefully that will change before the show debuts on 29 Nov., and we can just focus on the in-ring action, which will likely be incredible.
_____________________________
I don't think this is a good ideal to have the show go on after Smackdown. Wanting people to stick around another hour after the main event is risky. The fans who attend Raw and Smackdown are mostly casuals. They should do a cruiserweight show at Full Sail where they're all hardcore fans.

Billy Corgan Gone From TNA
Anthem Sports And Entertainment Is Taking Over.

ImpactWrestling
At least part of TNA's on-going power and financial struggle has come to a conclusion, as Anthem Sports and Entertainment will be taking over as majority owners of the company. Billy Corgan has been ousted completely.
TNA sent out a press release today stating that Anthem Sports and Entertainment has provided "a credit facility to TNA to fund operations." Anthem owns the Fight Network, and now has the worldwide streaming rights for TNA programming.
In some interesting news, the Wrestling Observer has reported that Dixie Carter no longer has any power in the day-to-day operations of the company, and her title of "Chair of the Company" is more of a way for her to save face. Jason Brown, the CEO of Anthem will now be placed in charge.
This is pretty defeating news for many of the wrestlers backstage, as they had hoped Corgan would take control and turn things around. However, while Brown may or may not know anything about the wrestling business, it's hard to imagine he'll run the company worse than Carter has.
Anthem was supposed to pay Corgan earlier this week for all the money he put in for three sets of TV tapings, plus 6% interest, which is expected to be around $1.91 million (his side believes he is entitled to somewhere around $2.7 million), but he took to Twitter shortly after news of the sale claiming he has not been paid as of yet. This will likely open up a whole new set of problems for TNA:
It's likely we'll see some big changes in the near future in TNA, and some key personnel will probably be let go under the new management. However, there won't be any new tapings for some time, so we won't see any changes on-air for weeks.
As for Corgan, he may end up getting a lot more money from the company (or perhaps an ownership stake) due to their failure to pay him on time. We should know more soon.

The Undertaker's WWE Return Announced For SmackDown's 900th Episode
The Dead Man rises.

WWE.com
We haven't seen The Undertaker on TV since his match against Shane McMahon at WrestleMania 32. Rumors began making the rounds after that, speculating he was ready to call it a career. Now we've found out that there's still more life in the Dead Man, as he'll be returning soon. Very soon.
Taker has been announced for the 15 Nov. episode of SmackDown, which takes place in Wilkes-Barre, PA. This is the last big chance to hype Survivor Series, and also happens to be the 900th episode of the show, which could be why he's making an appearance.
More interesting, though, is that this could be the chance to kick off the hype for a match at WrestleMania, the Royal Rumble or even something for Survivor Series itself. After all, that's the show he made his WWF debut back in 1990, so maybe he'll squash someone in the name of tradition. Though with recent photos of him on crutches, that's rather unlikely.
Royal Rumble will be taking place in Taker's home state of Texas, and with the show airing from the Alamodome, they're going to need something big to fill the place up. Perhaps he has something, or someone on his mind he'd like to announce for that night.
Hopefully WWE has something newsworthy in mind for Taker's appearance, as there likely aren't too many left for us to enjoy.
