The American Wolves are still a thing in 2017? I thought they dropped off the face of the planet like 3 years ago.

A relevant storyline to everything that's been going on in WWE programming

I'm just glad these important characters are getting their spotlight and really paying it off big for the fans

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I can't wait for Nakamura to be put in a program with Big Show.

 

[Tall4Life]

Ja, Edwars is now a TNA, ROH and NOAH heavyweigh champion, how weird.

 

[Dynedom]

Has Khali even come back to WWE TV? He made like one appearance and that's it? Contract issues?

Was looking forward to that Desi stable. The workrate

I can't wait for Nakamura to be put in a program with James Ellworth.

Fixed

 

[miserable]

[Bronx-Man]

[Dynedom]

Holy fuck, Johnny Mundo --> Johnny Impact has to be one of the worst name changes of all time.

 

[SallyIsNow]

The Warriors has to be Rockstar's best game. Shit went beyond the call of duty. Admittedly, I'm a Warriors mark, so I dunno.

we spotted the fake wrestling nerd

Look at Bronx-Man. Still worked, after aaaaallllllll these years.

Holy fuck, Johnny Mundo --> Johnny Impact has to be one of the worst name changes of all time.

That's pretty fucking bad.

 

[Foggy]

Holy shit, Yakuza team developing a Fist of the North Star game.

[avengers23]

Anyone know a way to watch AJPW's Summer Explosion live?

It'll be streamed tonight on the PuroStream at 2 am Eastern. I will be up.

 

[Dynedom]

Fuck: I just realized Edwards is the first gaijin to with the GHC title. Better double-check this.

edit: FUCK it's true

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

thanks brother

 

[FlammableD]

off to the first wrestling of the weekend. I think a few people haven't made it, so i'm sure this card'll change.

Better not cancel Bate vs. Cobb.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I could go for watching a good CockKnocker

 

[FlammableD]

I think it's Cobb and Fenix off the card

 

[TimeEffect]

A lot of WWE stars think McGregor is winning. Do they know something we don't?

 

[spindashing]

Holy fuck, Johnny Mundo --> Johnny Impact has to be one of the worst name changes of all time.

All of his names are terrible tbh, this is the same guy who went by Johnny Nitro, too.

I could go for watching a good CockKnocker

Torch article on ratings http://www.pwtorch.com/site/2017/08...-brand-split-versus-nfl-cena-brock-influence/

People can come up with their reasons for why viewership is down, but at the end of the day all that matters is that they are, and as a result, WWE’s negotiating power for the next TV deal takes a hit. A hit that could end up feeling like a Conor McGregor right hook.

USA will be desperate to retain WWE programming in 2019 but without an alternative network making a genuinely competitive counter offer to WWE, WWE are equally desperate to retain their slot on USA. Without being able to attract a bidding war for their programming, WWE are in the same position they were last time where they pretty much just have to accept what they’re offered. Their programming only becomes really valuable when another Network decides that they also want to buy it. That didn’t happen during negotiations for the current deal and WWE really haven’t enhanced their position in the time since. Ratings are significantly down and they’re still faced with the issue of an unappealing audience demographic in the eyes of advertisers.

So to the people who argue about how TV ratings don’t really matter anymore and how WWE’s Social Media numbers counteract the decline from TV; cool. Good luck making that argument with networks during next year’s negotiations.

Anyway, it is confirmed that Nikki Bella will be on Dancing with the Stars

Wonder how much promo the company gives it (thinking none)

Butter up a potential future colleague and they're MMA marks. They don't know anything more than your average joeschmo.

So is it safe to assume the Big 4 will now be turning into major events like WrestleMania where stuff happens that has no bearing on anything else?

PWInsider reader Q&A

Q: So, this one seems to come up once every while and it's valid every time: Where is Luke Harper? I was so enjoying his 'push' and now he's...nowhere.

A: Just not being used. I don't get it.

 

[Zach]

Aaahahaha. Stephanie McMahon. Where is NeoGAF Vince McMahon to tell me she's a worthwhile attraction?

 

[Sinatar]

PWInsider reader Q&A

A better question would be "When is Luke Harper's contract up?"

Hopefully the answer is "Soon".

Get Rusev and Harper in a promotion where they can work

 

[slightconfuse]

Lol NOAH

What if we made a promotion made exclusively of former WWE stars
