POP's okay with seeing if ad revenue comes in. Like DA's deal, they're able to end things early if unsatisfied

TNA could realistically be kicked off a network in September for the third year in a row

Spike TV probably could have used them as a lead in to Bellator but I think they were done working with Dixie and Russo.

Yeah been watching some Smoky Mountain including the Thrillseekers and Gangstas debuts. I have to wonder what the Rock n Roll express thought of Jericho/Storm using a top rope double dropkick as their finish. Also a surreal moment watching New Jack and Mustapha having a "traditional" wrestling match and no plunder being used.
Click to expand...
New Jack is surprisingly very good. Reminds me of Dusty when he's working a straight wrestling match.

All these feds WWE are adding on the network is fantastic, but... while I'm glad all these feds are there now are their network team going to actively be putting their television there or will wait for a year and a half like the case was for WCCW?

So what are the chances of a Nakamura vs Bryan macth?
Click to expand...

Well the chances of Bryan wrestling again are low at best right now. And WWE would probably have to basically give a blank check to Nakamura to get him away from NJPW, unless he just really wants to be in WWE for some reason.

So don't get your hopes up at all, but it's not quite as impossible as it was six months ago.

I thought the story was that she had heat in NXT with other wrestlers because she got spots that other women who were there all the time didn't get while she just showed up whenever and got matches and screen time. I don't remember her having heat with the office or management, unless I'm forgetting something

I'm surprised they don't want to disassociate themselves from those shows because a lot of them were dreck and some were even offensive.

There's no fucking way Nakamura is going to jump to America at 36 and start wrestling a schedule that hurts one's body even more than Strong Style. And if he did, dude wouldn't go anywhere, because WWE would gut the weird cokehead fashion model gimmick and his amazingly marketable catchphrase.

Vince didn't even pay much for Bryan, you're out of your mind if you think he's paying much for Nakamura and Okada

Okada's last US dates ever are for ROH. TNA broke him. Nakamura loves Japan just as much as Okada and ain't leaving full-term unless they breaking the piggy bank on their knees with tears in eyes. Which they won't. Okada ain't leaving period, no matter the humiliation.

Wooow. Smoky Mountain Wrestling... they're adding all kinds of weird crap.

Still furious that every WCW show ever isn't up yet, though. >:O

They haven't even completed their own stuff yet. WWE Network will be 2 years old in February, and there's still ZERO episodes of RAW is WAR from the year 2000 on the Network.

is any of Macho Man's AWA/Continental stuff on the Network? Kind of surprised to realize Macho was already nearing his mid30s when he finally signed on with WWF.

Aye, now that I've upgraded myself and my weapons to where I need them to be, I'm starting to feel the gameplay loop:

Go to place -> Kill everything in place -> Loot everything -> Lug it all back to Sanctuary -> Disassemble it all -> Make vegetable starch -> Go to new place

Nakamura in WWE? Please no. Unless it's a Liger-style one-off, that would be fine.

I haven't played Fallout for about a week. Like all Bethesda games, it reaches a point in the middle where the endless conveyor belt of not-particularly-interesting quests gets a bit much. I've been spending my gamez time getting the shit kicked out of my by Ludwig in The Old Hunters instead.

I really want to know how much cocaine Sid did. I know it was at least 5 line a night.

He had a great build though. And that fucking theme.

The fact that Vince knew who Tatyana Ali was is quite shocking. I wonder if he knows who Leonardo DiCaprio is.

I watch modern wrestling wanting more action and less talking. Now I'm watching the classic stuff and all I want is the promos. I could spend all day today listening to the NWA interviews.

What I think everyone wants is everything done well.

Thrilling promos, exciting matches and captivating storylines it's just not possible for one promotion to have all those 3 at the same time.

LOL, dude seriously doesn't like Ospreay, he's a big Havoc fan apparently - there were a few die-hard Havoc supporters near me who kept chanting "WE WANT HAVOC!" during the main event, I find that sort of thing strange. Jimmy's one of my favourites, but I'd never cheer for him while he's trying to be a cunt, that just seems disrespectful to the work he puts in.

He was sat behind me when Ospreay won the title from Havoc, and he literally sat with his head in his hands the second Ospreay won, then left.

Yeah, he's really improving at a crazy rate, plus all these big matches with international stars like Morrison, Styles, Sydal & Okada are showing his quality - hard to believe he's only 22. There's always going to be those that don't like that style though.

Watching this later, Walter vs Dreissker should be fun - both guys are beasts. Marty vs Axel should be an amazing technical match as well, looking forward to it.

Yep. No matter how ripped he is, he's always got a fat face with double chins. Look at his heel run in 2002 when he was trying really hard to be Ric Flair. Steroided out of his mind, but still flabby face.

Pretty much how I feel as well. The ring work is whatever, but the promos... That's gold.

Ha! I'm watching this Mid-South 3/15/86 episode and the commentator straight up says about Blade Runner Rock (Ultimate Warrior) "not only is he huge and muscular, he seems to be a little bit deranged -- could be the steroid effect."

That might have been my favorite squash match ever on NXT.
Click to expand...

Not going to happen, but Joe in one of the big match slots at Wrestlemania (against Cena or Lesnar) seems to be a lot better than their other options at this point with all the folks out injured.

I figure between NXT fans, people who have watched TNA before, indie wrestling fans, etc he'd get a pretty good reaction from the start.

Also James Storm could help the main roster's midcard and put some people over.
