Looking at Nigel's Kickstarter for his LA Fights thing I was reminded of this;

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/790983338/wrestling-revolution

Crazy that they filmed a whole 'season', yet only a single match ever released and that was just to placate backers complaining about lack of updates. Dude pretty much robbed people.

Nigel's kickstarter proposes a similar premise, but with more of a MMA theme and he's asking for over 3x more than the 100k WRP got. I mean, good luck to him, but jeez...

You know you want to, Stro.

Again this just shows that there's a very hungry group of wrestling fans out there that just want something different or new. Seemingly blindly so.

I wear boxer briefs, so they keep everything nice and snug. I remember trying to get into slim fit/skinny jeans back in high school but having the same issue, but a nice pair of underpants tends to help out.

I'll keep you in mind, Bobo. But I should be fine, I've been watching ADR promos and learning about Mexican culture from JBL.



If it's good enough for Batista, it's good enough for me.



At least someone is being supportive in this sea of body shamers and negativity.

You better have thighs the size of Batista.

So I have a date with a cute Mexican girl tomorrow, nothing big, just meeting at a nearby coffee shop. Not expecting a damn thing from it, so that should help keep things FnP

And then during the meeting she slips in something about her boyfriend getting her something for Christmas

Raw viewership for 1/5

Hour 1: 3.801 Million
Hour 2: 3.888 Million
Hour 3: 3.599 Million

Average: 3.672 Million

The difference as compared to last week: Only 5.6%. Meltzer said it should have been up at least 10% by default because of other programming. Guess people didn't want to see the Authority as much as WWE thought.

Meltzer burying The AhTHORity

Monday's Raw did 3.75 million viewers. While that is along the lines of what the show has been doing the past few months and well up from the prior week, it is a very bad number.

Usually the first week after football has a major bounce back, and no such thing happened. This also came on the show the week after Daniel Bryan (people didn't know he wouldn't be on the show) and with the return of The Authority, so the idea ratings were down because of The Authority being gone was blown up.

meltz pls

ratings are down because EVERYTHING ELSE IS GARBAGE, not just the fact that the authority wasn't there

has Meltzer become as narrow minded as Vince?

That's his point. People at WWE believed ratings fell because they weren't there.

Now they know it wasn't that at all.

With WWE now rushing Bryan back into TV action the second they found out The Authority are not a ratings draw, does this mean WWE finally admits Bryan is a...a....a....draw?!?!

Killed my speech today at the banquet. I remember last year, afterwards I fucked one of our members in the casino. Didn't do such a thing this year.

They better too because it seems after after the 12/1 Raw a chunk of the audience bailed out on them and they haven't showed back up yet. They were up this week but were down 775,000 compared to last year.

The question out will they figure things out and get those who left in December back?


Plus that Tyson Kidd promo was insane on NXT.

This movie is bonkers. Christopher Walken in the worst wig imaginable as an angel (I think). Brad Dourif as a blind guy who talks to Damon Kanes but sometimes can see. Kenny Bania as an alcoholic coroner who is also an amateur demonologist/bible studier. It's gold.
 
Vince is so angry that Bryan can make him money

I still remember that half hearted yes chant he did with the network no commitment announcement. Also the fact that he only got inserted into the world title match because Punk quit and the fans revolted and hijacked the show with chants.

I'm 100% convinced Vince is quietly furious that Bryan and the YES chants are so over. Having tried to migrate the YES chants away from Bryan a few times is a pretty big sign that he wants that attached to someone he deems more worthy.

This is why I think he'll have to work his way back to the top. He was never part of their plan, Roman is the plan

I don't even know if they'll give him his title back, I honestly doubt it

At this point if he doesn't win the Rumble, I hope Vince is prepared to have the crowd hijack the show again. He will probably face Rollins for the title though, because him beating Lesnar would actually make him a top level star and Vince doesn't truly want that.

The only chance they have to not have a huge backlash against Reigns this year is to give Bryan the belt at least until Summerslam. Hell, let Bryan drop the belt to Rusev at Summerslam, then Reigns can be the first man to pin Rusev at Mania next year.

That is of course, as long as Cena doesn't do the same thing to Rusev that he did to Bray Wyatt.

I still think Brock will lose his title at the Rumble, Cena will pin Rollins, but that's just me

we'll get what "everyone" wants! Cena vs Reigns at WM!

Smartest thing they could do is have Roman turn on Bryan. That'd cement him as a top guy way before a super Cena push would. Rock 2.0 up in this mug. This ring is under Roman Authority.

Chad Gable debuted on NXT and crowd knew who he was. Got a good reaction though didn't do much because he was there to make Breeze look good.

His gear looks like Angle though.

edit: lol Breeze is now in a horror like storyline now

I actually think I'd be cool with Cena/Bryan II as the main event of WM31. It wouldn't be as amazing as Brock/Bryan but I'd find it entertaining. Cena/Bryan II is probably less likely to happen than Brock/Bryan though because Cena would unquestionably get booed out of the building if he was going against Bryan for the belt at Mania. And I doubt Vince wants to see his golden boy get that much of a hard time at the main show of the year.
