March Wrasslin' |OT| Forecast for Wrestlemania...cloudy with a heavy chance of Reigns

Do what UFC does and just merge it with the US Title and call it the Middleweight Championship. While you're at it, make the Divas belt a Women's Championship too. Three singles titles is all we need.

Something like that will elevate it enormously, and simultaneously allow them to take more risks with other superstars.

Once the prestige fails to come back to the IC title, are we going to hear about them wanting to revitalise the tag division?
 
It'll be a battle between Raw after Mania and NXT for best event of the Wrestlemania 4 day weekend.

Both will be awesome for completely different reasons.
Yeah, should be interesting to see what they have in store for Post-Mania Raw.

You're more excited about a better product with a better build up. No need to feel weird.
I haven't actually kept up with NXT, but the PPV event last month was awesome. :p
 
more excited for evolve and ROH. wish lucha underground was doing something that weekend.

joe vs jay briscoe should be great.

NXT has been pretty meh after takeover.

I love this guy so much.

Didn't Natalya get divorced from Kidd, and wasn't that discussed on Total Divas? So why is the WWE pretending they're still married in these storylines?

Total Divas is a work, homie. They're still married, presumably happily.
 
Have any of the matches for the NXT event WM weekend been announced?
Nothing has been announced officially. This is on WWE.com:

NXT recently made history with its successful debut in Ohio, the first time the yellow-and-black brand traveled outside of Florida. What will happen during WWE’s biggest week of the year, when all of your favorite NXT Superstars — including NXT Champion Kevin Owens, Finn Bálor, Sami Zayn, NXT Women’s Champion Sasha Banks, Charlotte, Enzo Amore, Tyler Breeze and many more — thrill the WWE Universe in California? Don’t miss out on this historic event!

Triple H’s salary has been increased from $550,000 to $577,500

HHH keeps saying he thinks of it as college football to the NFL, still the "feeder league" but it's own sustained thing at the same time.

For me its a combination of WWE has finally made me not invested in Daniel Bryan and Daniel Bryan has made me not invested in Daniel Bryan. I doubt the guy remotely cares whether or not he's in the world title picture despite being the most over guy on the roster by a wide margin.

I'm pretty sure he cares, wrestlers get a bonus for PPV main events, the WM main event bonus is probably higher than what most wrestlers earn for the entire year, main eventing multiple PPVs starts to add up. There's also a bonus for being world champion...etc. Cena & Orton's contracts are what? 1-2 million $ a year? Cena probably makes more than 5m every year if you add up all the bonuses, & I think Orton earns ~3m. & Daniel Bryan talked about how he just started making real money last year, & how he was saving that money for his retirement. Mid-carders don't earn that much more than the average person, so I kinda feel bad for him after all the hard work he did to get to this point.

Not sure how much Orton has to give the ex-wife but he can probably retire early. Hell he doesn't even believe in wearing pants. Save dat dough.

edit: Then again substance abuse budget.

edit edit: Speaking of frugal. I think I have worn the same fucking handful of shirts on Friday for the past 12 years. People at work come and go, and they don't give a shit and neither do I.

According to TMZ:

Meanwhile, Samantha gets a bank account worth $654,317 ... not bad ... as well as her jewelry (including her $99,000 engagement ring and wedding ring). She also gets one house.

As for their daughter, Samantha gets sole legal and physical custody, but Randy gets visitation. He has also agreed to pay Samantha $4,500 per month in child support.

His divorce was pretty smooth compared to Hogan & Cena.

Then again, his baby oil budget must be pretty huge lol.
 
It's a porn site for girls under 100lbs.

Do you think Alexa qualifies?

Huh, I didn't know that was the deal with that site.

On a related note, I highly enjoy the Clips4Sale references on the Attitude Era Podcast. Right under Bossman Behaving Badly on my Fave Five AEPodcast running jokes.

I really don't understand what they think they're achieving by having guys like Bryan and Mark Henry lay it on so thick about how Reigns is for real.

The people already cheering for him don't need it and I'd assume the less enamored only get more agitated by the constant shilling.

That Henry stuff from Smackdown was sad.

Casual Fridays I rotate the same 3 shirts. Been doing it for at least 6 years now.

Meanwhile, the PPV bonuses for the talent have still vanished since the Network started.

I believe those PPV bonuses are still there. However, they are not earning as much revenue from PPV so...

Given that its Friday the 13th I feel inclined to watch something Jason Vorhees related. I'm thinking its been long enough since I've watched Freddy vs Jason, I should give that another watching.

Roman shirtless looks good to me. Don't know how you people can call that fat, at all.

Except he looks like he weights about the same as Seth Rollins in that picture. ...And from what I gather from watching Roman everyweek he's put on weight to look more intimidating. So I'm going to guess he looks flabby underneath that girdle.
