I feel pretty safe in saying those guys are the rare exception and not at all the rule.
I mean hell, I expect Omega to be in WWE this time next year.
But everyone on his roster does flippy shit. Including Roman.

Im not sure who it was as it wasnt reported, but an indie guy in the UK said he makes more money in the UK than he would with a standard main roster contract with WWE.

How funny that these pages move fast except when it comes to posting last. You guys do that on purpose to me all the time!

If you ain't first you're last.
Nah. Real Housewives is WWE but even more reliant on older stars.

For those keeping track, Gail Kim has gone from openly criticizing Vince and saying she wouldn't ever go back to WWE to now saying "never say never".
What flippy shit? They were never allowed to do flippy shit

It's soooo good. Really one of the funniest and deepest animes (ANIME, Caderfix!) I've heard.
I've heard Mob Psycho 100 is even better, but I haven't had time to watch it yet.

Gail's been so anti WWE I can't ever imagine her coming back. Wonder why she's changed her mind.
I wonder how much of that has to do with the current state of TNA, like a "grass is greener on the other side" scenario
I mean, women's wrestling is like 100 times better off than before.
It's still has its bullshit but we're not seeing a pillow match any time soon.
She listened to Shane McMahons theme and went "Oh right, I do like money".

Probably the womens tournament and possibility of a womens show. It will probably have the same fate as 205 though. Feuds over Fandango or whatever the fuck they come up with.
205 Live should have either maintained the sport like approach or gone full PWG.

She's probably been listening to Josh Mathews on commentary. TNA is unwatchable with him on commentary. I was so glad when he was gone. Course that only lasted one week.

Maybe she won't have to eliminate herself from a battle royal this time.
Ibushi is different because he doesn't want to sign anywhere. He burnt out when he was doing DDT and New Japan.
I can see both Omega and Young Bucks joining WWE in the future. We need some one to buy Vince out, but not likely.

This Suzuki-Gun vs Chaos match at Wreslting Dontaku 2017 was all over the place. It felt like it was supposed to be a Goto vs Minoru but then added a lot more people in it.

I don't think the women's show would fall victim to the same woes as 205 did mainly because they already know how to book women now generally. With CWs Vince was basically starting from scratch in his mind and throwing all his shit at the wall and seeing what would stick.
They already know what gets the women over nowadays.

triple h probably wants kenny and the bucks so bad
No company rich enough to buy out Vince is going to to buy a company that is showing signs of dying, though
Biggest problem with 205 live was who was it for.

I might just skip this Cody Rhodes match and go on to the next one. Oh, it's another tag team match. At least it's LIJ wrestling.
Unless they think they can make it better? Or some billionaire who is completely mad in the head.

I know I am being unfair, but it wouldnt really surprise me too.
He would for sure. I wonder how much creative control they would have, or if they would have Michael Hayes and Road Dogg curate their matches for them.

No idea, but that's exactly what she said in a Busted Open interview a few days ago. Never say never. Said she wants to wrestle Charlotte, too.
He totally does. They don't really like it when guys get that level of buzz outside of WWE. And I think he'll get them eventually, even if it takes an AJ-level deal to make it happen.

They'd probably get none, since I haven't heard of any big name stars coming to WWE having much pull.

I hope WWE dies before Vince does.
Have you seen the impact women's roster recently?

I'd argue NXT is "for" a very similar audience and that does extremely well for a show only shown on a subscription network.

Vince will outlive everyone in this thread.
We aren't as old as you
I am wanting Disney to buy it or some one like Amazon.
Next up, cut 2/3's the roster and RAM down to 60 minutes.

FWIW, Meltzer seems to think WWE will get mostly every major talent they want in the next few years (Ricochet, Ospreay, Omega, Bucks, etc.). Any time he talks about the future of WWE, he mentions that they will have an unfathomable level of talent on their roster within the next three or so years.

You expect me to say I'm not a bigger cockroach than Vince, but I am and I accept this challenge
Battle of the cockroaches. Whoever dies first was a fraud all along
Let's take all this high flying exciting talent that had matches ranging from good to phenomenal in a tournament, tell them to tone their style and speed down, put them on Raw with purple ropes setup that slows the pace of Raw down and have their division so isolated that they don't interact with the rest of the roster. For some reason, Kalisto is on the main roster though. Then give them an hour on the Network as well and just do whatever.
What a fucking shit show.
Really hope they just scrap it. Maybe have to thin the numbers and put some between NXT, Smackdown and Raw because there is some real talent there. But they don't need to be in this watered down shitshow.
Disney kind of makes sense given that ESPN and WWE already have a partnership
