TNA isn't really a wrestling promotion at this point.

Its a tape library full of videos of former and current WWE stars that happens to film a tv show once a month.

Right now its a way for the fight network to have tv they don't have to pay for.

 

[half a moon]

I thought there were was this Friday. Guess I read it wrong.

Johnson city saturday. Kind of far for me.

 

[The Strokes]

Here is the NXT takeover card so far:

Roode vs Nak
Asuka vs Ember
DIY vs Revival vs AOP
Aliester Black vs Cien Almas

The only other possible match added will be Sanity vs No Way, Tye, Strong and Ruby Riot.

Plus if I see Asuka retaining if one of the Shimmer wrestlers are seen in a crowd shot.

Sombra jobbing again. Jesus fucking christ.

Anyways, what does WWE want with ROH? They're probably just doing it to fuck with NJPW.

 

[half a moon]

What's the beef with NJPW?

 

[Sweeney Tom]

What's the beef with NJPW?

New Japan got upset when Bullet Club and Nakamerica got poached on the eve of their biggest show, this year they're expanding to America in a move their owner outright confessed is retaliation

 

[Beefy]

So JR's wife has died RIIP

And WWE are buying ROH?

 

[Bluekaveli]

That's one. If I had the money, I'd go(2 hours) 😕. Can't catch a break.

I'm broke too or else I'd go

 

[SallyIsNow]

Big Shit on Conan

 

[The Strokes]

Tyler Breeze should be Intercontinental Champion.

 

[Bluekaveli]

I'm broke too or else I'd go

The struggle 😔

 

[shanafan]

WWE should offer to eliminate the 90 day no-compete clause in Jack Swagger's contract in exchange for the Broken Matt Hardy persona.

 

[half a moon]

The struggle 😔

I had to get a loan from my dad for the starter.

Speaking of WWE buying out ROH, and stemming off our earlier discussion about house shows, I decided to look at an upcoming house show just to see what the roster is.

7:30pm on Friday in Montreal. Here's who's on the card:

Roman Reigns
Kevin Owens
Braun Stroman
Finn Balor
Sami Zayn
Sheamus
Samoa Joe
Bayley
Cesaro
Charlotte
Sasha
New Day
Gallows
Anderson
Austin Aries

JESUS FUCK

like how stacked do they have to make their cards for fucking house shows? Does having such a deep card really add significantly to ticket sales? Why not just have 4 or 5 top performers show up and the rest of the card is random developmental people? Or, if they buy out ROH, a bunch of young ROH talent? Work rate has never mattered at house shows. I feel like dad buys a ticket for little jimmy as soon as it's announced that WWE is coming to town. Roman, Cena, AJ or Orton are on the card? Sold. the rest is just whatever.

what I'm trying to say is... give the fucking workers some rest before they work themselves into a shoot.

 

[excelsiorlef]

John and Wai might officially be more positive than I am... they loved Cena's Talking Smack promo...

Who goes to a house show to watch developmental talent? The average fan there doesn't care about them.

Hey if you want I can link you up. We're actually hiring for the retail generalist job. They'll start you at 10 then you'll be able to move up. Just let me know if you're interested. Usually if you pass the test, you're in. The real test is surviving the phone calls.

Is it work from home call center job?

 

[Beefy]

Still can't believe what happened in London today.

The average fan cares about Cena or Randy Orton and everything else is just filler. That's my point. Have just a couple of marquee names on the card and you have their money. I really don't think they need to go 20 deep on a random non-televised house show. It's just banging their guys up.

 

[cordy]

Dude looking like a fucking Power Ranger when they're wearing a Battleizer. Geez.

 

[half a moon]

Why not tape house shows at put it on the network?

 

[Bluekaveli]

Work from home.

 

[The Main Event]

Cena on Fallon right now

 

[half a moon]

Work from home.

What's the calls and test like?

Most of the House Shows are multi man tag matches and when you're talking about the WWE brand, you really can't expect for them to put some of their green talent on one of the parts of the business that gives them a lot of money, especially since being on the main roster, in theory, means you're ready. I mean, they even run House Shows of a brand the same day the other one has a PPV.

Plus NXT does House Shows with the developmental talent, obviously not as much shows as the Raw/SD brands do.

 

[Bluekaveli]

What's the calls and test like?

Call, it all depends. The test, I can't even remember what it was like. But as I said, many people get hired. The test is taking calls and surviving. I remember training with lots of people then a month later they were gone. I'm a good bullshitter and talker that I do well(comm and theatre major). I want to become a manager since I have the credentials.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Was Hogan/Taker & Backlund/Diesel a house show?

I'm bad at talking :/ I'd love to sit on my ass than go back to FUazon but I'm terrible.

You can't shoot.

They will train you. Just have a little confidence and you'll survive.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Lol John and Wai are done with 205...

 

[Bluekaveli]

Was Hogan/Taker & Backlund/Diesel a house show?

Hogan Taker was first survivor series then Tuesday in Texas. Backlund Diesel was house. Bret flair was house.

You can't shoot.

Been shooting since kindergarten.

 

[half a moon]

They will train you. Just have a little confidence and you'll survive.

I'll get back to you. Thanks tho!

 

[Bluekaveli]

I'll get back to you. Thanks tho!

No doubt, I guess just let me know by Friday. They sent out an email Monday about new hires so it's still fresh.

Lol you a fool Blue.


But on first part, i agree they should air a house show special.

 

[Heroman]

I'm drunk and bored. Entertain me gaf.

I think it's probably the fact they don't want to pay the broadcasting fee.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Just put it on the network and since commentators are on salary, there shouldn't be no problem for them to call one or two more extra matches

Stop being a jabronie.

 

[Bluekaveli]

It still costs. I thought the same thing when it came to MSG shows but it's still too expensive.

Just have it on Tuesday after 205 once a month

You're getting to kill my eyes.

 

[sf2fanatic]

You're getting to kill my eyes.

Fine I'll help you

*Flair pokes Blue in the eye*


E: Do you get to set your work schedule?

 

[half a moon]

No doubt, I guess just let me know by Friday. They sent out an email Monday about new hires so it's still fresh.

Will do

 

[Bluekaveli]

Fine I'll help you

*Flair pokes Blue in the eye*


E: Do you get to set your work schedule?

I need sleep. Badly lol.

Yes. We just did our shift bidding 2 weeks ago(we'll do it again in November) I work Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I take Tuesdays off because that's my wife's and I movie day and I have to run SD. And of course it feels good to gace the actual weekend off. I work 10 hours shifts which can be an overhaul at times.

 

[RBH]

John and Wai might officially be more positive than I am... they loved Cena's Talking Smack promo...

I liked it too!

 

[excelsiorlef]

I liked it too!

Cool.

It just felt like another John Cena isn't phased by anything and his opponents aint shit promo.

 

[DMczaf]

I feel like John coulda used an extra kick of Shoot.

When he was hinting at the "After WM. You'll go back to being Mike. Just Mike" I wanted him to start reminding him of what has happened to nearly all of his WM opponents after their match. Including Mike.
