People are actually asking for a GM daniel bryan figure:

Would someone buy a Daniel Bryan figure dressed in a flannel polo with jeans that comes with the tout logo and bear as a accessories?

If people will buy that Asuka figure with the stupid face, I don't see why it'd be a worse decision

 

[slightconfuse]

WTF

New Avatar if anyone wants it:

3 minutes filmed on someone's phone more compelling than anything they're making for the network

It's just mindblowing.

I was wondering, we all know Vince is a control freak and an egomaniac.

But I was thinking about WCW and how letting the wrestlers have full control essentially destroyed it and if Vince is afraid of that.

The first ever episode of Smacking Talk!

We must cherish the moments when we still have these two playing off each other.

Let's just hope Vince doesn't bury Chad Gable over that.

dave meletzer's report:

It's come out that Vince is furious that Daniel Bryan and Renee Young recorded a parody of Talking Smack entitled Smacking Talk and posted it to Twitter. Apparently the issue stems from the video being posted while 205 Live was still airing live on the Network,
which resulted in a lower than usual 8 live viewers, down from 12 the previous week.

In a twisted shoot version of the McMahon/Austin angle from the late 1990s, Vince wants to fire Bryan for this, but after realizing that's what he wants, has opted to "keep him and just make his life a living hell" according to a source close to the situation.

Apparently Chad Gable is catching the most heat from the boys in the back, and I've been told that there's a good chance he'll be one of talent released next week after the financials come out, although that could change. Following the incident late Tuesday night, John Layfield pulled Gable aside and, in an attempt to show the boys in the back what a locker room leader looks like, had Baron Corbin hold Gable down while Layfield removed his pants and shoved his fist clean up Gable's ass as an "innocent rib."

wow

wow

Is this real!!!?

 

[Anth0ny]

Is this real!!!?

It's a shoot!!!!!!

 

[ratcliffja]

Is this real!!!?

In reality, Vince was just happy about all the hash tags.

No, what Vince is afraid of is another Rock. Where a guy gets bigger than the brand and so Vince loses his negotiating leverage. Vince likes to have power over people.

wow

I love the fact that this is not as farther from truth as someone unfamiliar with sports entertainment would think

One day he'll wake up and realize what he's doing to his franchise.

 

[sf2fanatic]

So Season 19 episode 30 has Y2J in it. Plus a triple threat match? I'll keep watching

 

[Pikma]

Going to WWE live events is so 2016.

Note: Z-Man is still relevant in 2017. Thank you.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Look if you guys have a problem with Meltzer's report you should tweet about it to him to get some answers

 

[Hidden One]

Let's just hope Vince doesn't bury Chad Gable over that.

Gable is done.

Lana taking the "You can't wrestle" chant like a G. I remember they chanted that for Rome and Cena.

She's a G

 

[Sinatar]

She's a G

G od awful?

 

[Brian_FETO]

"You can't wrestle" chant is the worst

Like neither can you, marks

Just like people want to boo Roman to prove their point in the name of lord CM Punk and then they go and chant "You Can't Wrestle" to make sure everyone understands they're to be ignored

 

[Toki767]

Meltzer doesn't like write like that.

 

[GunBR]

The Khali vs Orton match was just a rumor that was created because of that finish of the Battleground right?
So there's a chance that we won't have to see Khali back on WWE again in the near future

If Khali was sticking around he'd surely have been there tonight.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Cena vs Jinder in a vein popping match?

 

[somedevil]

She went on twitter and did 10 tweets about that subject in character. Her total divas character is basically her in real life.

 

[Pikma]

Cena vs Jinder in a vein popping match?

AKA The Latino Heat Championship Title

Spoiler

:'(

 

[sf2fanatic]

So Cena vs Nak. Can we have this at non wwe venue instead? And unscripted?

 

[HarryDemeanor]

dave meletzer's report:





wow

I was buying this until the Bradshaw fisting moment.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Bollywood Boys weren't there either

Only 2 hours on a SD. Can't get that 3rd one until at least the TV deal's up

Didn't watch smackdown but came here just to post this.

It's what happens when you let creative people be creative.

It'll probably be a while til we see the Bollywood boys. They both took nasty bumps
