Remember when Lucha Underground was supposed to be the next big thing and a bunch of marks in here were even sporting LU-themed avatars for the long awaited season 2? Lol

Lucha Underground was great and never got its new seasons

Unfortunately PWG Underground replaced its spot

Not CCK like was expected. Any of the OTT lot give us the rundown?

They've been the big fish, small pond team for pretty much the entirety of OTT's existence. It was only when they took on War Machine did I get to see them take as much as they give. Should be a good team for London Riots to fight with.

maybe we'll get a last minute announcement tonight that the Rumble is being upgraded to 40 people?
Click to expand...

It's silly that they never went back to this, the rumble had faster pace, more room for surprise entrants and jobbers who don't often get airtime, seemed like a winning setup.

Granted that may be because the 40 man rumble was the last one that was actually enjoyable.

It'd be sweet if they did do a forty man rumble but kept it as a surprise until the actual event. Number 30 comes out, we all expect it to end but then comes another countdown.

That way a surprise return could actually be even more surprising.

The last 4 (UT, Brock, Goldberg, Cena) will be a long segment in the rumble?

I don't think Cena will be in the Rumble at all.

I'm surprised they haven't gone with the 31st entrant gimmick yet.

Just to name a few

Continuing to overpay for each episode of taping which crippled their budget and gave them less leverage to work with when it came to resigning talent like Ricochet, who bolted
Continued drama with AAA which affected both companies' relationships with other talent like Sexy Star and Pentagon
Continued overvaluing of their own product leading to them resisting low deals from the only places they got offers from like Netflix, which would have significantly and immediately boosted their audience and benefited them in numerous ways if accepted

Dave just did a big article on this stuff like a week or two ago that gets a lot more in depth about a lot more issues, including legitimately putting hope into fucking movies

Their budget is not "crippled", they get X amount of money per season and they spend all of it to fund the season. Saying that's the source of Ricochet is pure conjecture. By all accounts he moved on because he felt like moving on, he wanted to be Ricochet in promos and not an LU character. As for the Netflix deal, it's conjecture to assume it's only because they overvalue the show. Until we know more about the negotiations it's frivolous. It could involve all manner of doing live events, funding, and who knows what else.

AAA stuff blows though. No getting around it but there's no reason to think it affects their contracts.

If Cena loses against AJ, I expect him to win the rumble.

I feel like they wasted a pretty good opportunity to just have Cena win the Rumble outright without having to make it the 4th match - just let Cena win and have him headline to tie the record and get his chance at redemption on AJ.

Instead he walks in, demands the match and gets it, which ends up ruining that entire setup.

This weekend we'll finally have Triple H at least and get some closure from the tease going on longer then Emmalina.

He'll eliminate Seth from the rumble by rushing in out of nowhere.

I wish WWE would have Seth pop up at Takeover to attack him. Seth comes off like a little bitch for sitting around and waiting for Triple H.

Remember when WCW used to show clips of the PPV on Nitro?

Now all WWE shows, if anything, is still images. And I feel like they barely even show any import to the previous PPVs other than mentioning results on commentary. Makes it feel as if none of it matters.

Umm Nitro was the king of still images ftom the PPVs.

Emmalina promo plays. Nothing.

Eva Marie promo plays. Nothing.

Daniel Bryan's music plays. Nothing.

Then the Miz.

Who remembers the late 90s early 2000s online "personalities" that wrote about wrestling? Scott keith, Rick Scaia ("The Rick"), etc?

Who was the most embarrassing and why was it scott keith?

Also Rd Reynolds doesn't get nearly enough credit for keeping the true shit of shit from the wwe alive in our hearts and minds before it was so freely available to watch on the Internet

Wasn't that the one where 3 surprises were the commentators going in and quickly getting eliminated to get back on commentary
