THE WRESTLING THREAD: HHH KEEPS DOING HHH THINGS.....

[gdatruth]

sasha would be perfect to be in a program with Rhonda
unfournately Sasha isnt with enough, blonde enough and her celebrity family member is a rapper not wrestler

oh well maybe her and the rest of the colored women wrestlers can get a tag belt and a team can become the female new day

 

[xspade7]

Dirt sheet rumors are Jericho & Jim Ross are working on their own promotion. With The Elite contracts coming up and they can get them to sign they may have something. Omega has another year left I think with NJPW.

If so i'll support i'm anti-WWE

Unnamed writer: "Vince I don't think putting the title back on Brock is a good idea."

Vince: "If Roman can't be the champ then only Brock can hold the belt."

Unnamed writer: "Just listen to me. I think I have a great idea. How about we replace Roman with Drew McIntyre. You've wanted to push him anyway. So either Drew or Braun can get a huge win over Brock and launch their career to new levels.

Vince: "Did I stutter? It's going to be Brock or Roman and only Brock or Roman until the end of time dammit!"

Well the thing about that is Crown Jewel don't even seem like its cannon to WWE programming if you know what I mean. They not gonna reference Hogan returning. They can put the strap on those guys on a U.S. soil PPV that's not being boycotted. I hope I'm right.

It was a shitty show but honestly not surprised to see no titles changes.

Had Samoa Joe and Braun won their respective titles, their championships would FOREVER be tied to an event WWE wants us all to forget, especially with the criticism they received with continuing to push the show forward.

Brock winning at Crown Jewel was a safe option because he’s a part timer that will not be there every week reminding audiences of that shit show in Saudi.

Same thing with Shane, kind of glad they did what they did, for the wrestlers sake. I wouldn’t want any wrestling accolades tied to that specific show and the controversy surrounding it.

 

["THE MAN"]

Yeah, WWE just don't give a fuck no more.

Fuck the quality of the product, fuck the ratings dropping, fuck kayfabe, fuck the other promotions, fuck what the fans want, fuck how the roster feels about shit, etc. - fuck everything but the money.

He won't care until a company can fully challenge him like WCW.

Sucks but that makes sense honestly.

Why Shane McMahon won the WWE World Cup
Submitted by Aaron Rift on 11/03/2018 at 10:12 AM


Shane McMahon’s surprise World Cup victory at WWE Crown Jewel definitely left some fans scratching their hands. It appears that Shane’s win had nothing to do with The Miz (who was not actually injured) and was in fact planned out.

Here is what Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com said about Shane’s victory courtesy of RingsideNews.com:

“So the idea is that Shane is going heel and this was — Miz wasn’t hurt. This was all booked to be what it is: the beginning of a Shane McMahon heel turn. You know as far as why you want another hell McMahon authority figure on a show? I guess it’s a response to the declining ratings of SmackDown.”

Meltzer also speculated on why Miz was in the finals and not someone else:

“I guess they felt that they didn’t want Rey to look weak and quit, they didn’t want Randy Orton to look weak and quit… obviously they didn’t want Jeff Hardy to look weak and quit — so Miz had to be the one to look weak and quit for Shane to go in there.”

 

[The Pope]

Well at least we won't have to worry about another DX/BOD match anytime soon , but depending on the recovery time HHH might not be performing at WM

Crown Jewel was nothing more than a hyped up house show cash grab overseas. Nothing more.

 

[ScottyPiffen745]

well yea. if you owned a business you'd feel the same way. The prollem is, u niggas keep givin them money and attention.

I have not supported or given the WWE a dime in about two years, and never will again, solely off the fact that they will not let a black man be the main champion and their LONG history of racist and stereotypical gimmicks.

I download the shows for free when they hit the internet or watch them live on Mobdro.

I barely keep up with the storylines and any effort to on my part is solely based on nostalgia.

This PPV was just another reason for me not to get too invested (emotionally) in this company's current product.

And actually, I do intend on owning some businesses in the future, and I would care about that type of shit like what my customers want, my employee morale, competition and declines in my approval ratings.

Hell Yeah!!! That's what I'm talmbout!
in terms of business, your in it to make money not appease people. Without the money to finance your business you won't be around long enough to appease people. I do hear what your saying. I think entertainment wise you can to a certain extent give out a decent product and make good $$$

Respectfully, I disagree.

You gotta build a loyal fanbase/customer base first. That's the only way you get those kind of deals like the Saudi deal.

In the beginning stages and when there's competition, you have to appease the people. Find out what they want, and give them that, and continue to do that consistently.

WWE ain't at that point no more. They're at the cash out stage, they're straight selling out.

At one point, WWE had a great product, so much so that people still watch this new, diminished product even though they hate it.

But with all these money deals on the table, the WWE is straight for the next decade. They don't even really need revenue from the fans, that's just icing on the cake, so the product is about to be whatever. The ratings are dropping and they don't give a damn.

When the main revenue is coming from the fans, the product will be better because they'll need to appease the fans.

But since Fox and Saudi are giving them the most money NOW, it's about appeasing them now.

The Saudis wanted Hogan's racist ass, and for old ass Taker/Kane and DX to be wheeled out, no women on the show, hella pyro and some goofy shit for the kids.

And Fox about to get whatever they want, too.

That's make sense except for actually putting the title in Brock. If they want us to not remember the event then they could have done a non-finish. Have Drew or someone do a run in and cause a DQ so that the title remains vacant (and on TV) until they figure out another plan. All they did was hit the reset button on the whole Raw not having a main title storyline. Except this time they can't even fall back on promoting the IC and tag titles because the current tag champs are fighting each other. So either the tag titles or the IC title is about to get even less screen time than normal.

Wait what?
So he's the lightweight and heavyweight champion at the same time. This is like when Rey Mysterio won the the heavyweight title? Between that and fucking around with Brock and the WWE, people might questioning if UFC is still legit. The winner of the next fight will be the undisputed champion of both companies. Seems to good to be true. Kinda like the outcome was predetermined.

That in itself is hilarious

 

[Nochturnal]

So AOP wins the tag titles and nobody gives a shit...another case of the E doing this shit wrong. Wasted the build up for them coming out of NXT. This is going to be the same thing if they ever put the women’s title on Asuka, no one will give a shit.

I've been busy for the last week so I haven't been keeping up with things.
I just finished watching some recap shows, and what in the fuck are they doing right now?!?!?!

• I need more mainstream news coverage to throw WWE under the bus for Crown Jewel. I think they purposefully scheduled that event within a week of the midterm elections, because they know the news turnover during the weekend would be dominated by the election. It actually makes me more upset about that event, because that would mean they knew it would be a problem months ago, and went through with it anyway.
• Shane McMahon is the best in the world .... . I'm surprised that they didn't have the finals in Chicago. WWE loves trolling their own fan base.
• A.O.P. winning the tag titles should be a big deal and the crowd couldn't have cared less.
• I knew that they would turn Nia heel just for the Rhonda feud. And turning Tamina with her .... seriously wtf?
• Are we getting more Shane/Daniel Bryan bullshit for Mania. I'm at the point where I'm starting to hate Shane wrestling. They have more new and amazing talent then ever before, we were still giving top Mania spot to veterans who should have retired years ago and non-wrestlers like Shane. Fuck them, giving those spots to the young talent.

Needs to be more videos of Naomi getting ready backstage..

Rollins/Ambrose angle is wack as fuck atleast make a tag tourney or an on air invitational and have the Young Bucks debut.

New Female version of the Wild Samoans

Riccochet and Velveteen dream both need a spot @ Mania

I like the team up of Nia and Tamina. If the Divas had a tag belt they would be the team that gets it first. Also them being cousins does not hurt either.

Young Bucks ain't going to WWE. Can't blame them. They can stay in their current lane and basically call their own shots or join WWE and become just another tag team. When was the last time we've seen the club on tv?

Riccochet and Velveteen Dream would absolutely steal Mania if they're giving a match and enough time to do what they do.
