Steen acting like a prima donna about losing to Cole and Nakamura? Then he might as well give up being signed by the WWE unless you want another Low Ki.
Steen's fat ass should be thankful to even be in the ring with an actual fucking star. Fuck him.
Stone Cold Alicia Fox. This is incredible. So now Paige is 95-96 Bret Hart that Alicia will come out and constantly cause DQs for and hit her with chairs. Then we'll have 'Anti-Diva? What is that crap?' and tell Emma 'I don't dance, son.'

That video is fucking superb.
"I'M GONNA TAKE 7 YEARS OF FRUSTRATION AND BEING PISSED OFF OUT ON YOUR BEE HIND."
After much research and sitting through some awful raws for one man, I've come to a conclusion that I've always kind of known. Stone Cold from 1996 to 1997 is the greatest character of all time. He's so enthralling every time he's in front of a camera. He makes up for all the bullshit you had to watch on Raw because he's so fucking unpredictable. Pillman was crazy in a more abstract but Austin was just a gasoline can always standing right near a torch. Focused chaos. He's not even my favorite of all time, but he's close. But I just can't deny his feuds, his character, his promos, his in-ring movements, his character existing in the time it did was also very important. But unlike Hogan or Rock, I give Austin a lot of the credit here and only give McMahon credit for recognizing him and giving him the spotlight he needed. But everything was perfect.
And I think the only real 'fault' of it is that he can't be my favorite wrestler because of the later years. And yet it's an unfair statement because he basically started with perfection and couldn't go anywhere but down(though I did enjoy heel Austin but nowhere near this ones levels) and he couldnt just do this gimmick again because it was a different time and it was a different era. And he was cool. But unlike Diesel or Razor, you could tell he wasn't trying to be cool. There was never any pandering to the 'against the grain' fans who cheered him. Even his stunner was more brutal and less comical and gimmicky during this time.

if they put a mask on Tyson, they should team him up with Ricardo again. That way Kalisto can get his singles push while two guys who aren't as good can have something to do
Instead, a lucha stable with Sin Cara to take down the man who's been overshadowing them: Rey Mysterio. He then loses his retirement match against Kalisto at WM31.

Holy shit watching the WWE 25 Greatest Rivalries video on the Network and seeing the foreheads on Bruiser Brody and Abdullah the Butcher...
Mick Foley said it pretty good. If they were playing poker, they could hide their chips in the grooves in their foreheads from the blading.

I think Meng and Barbarian could have been a pretty cool team if they actually did something with them. Great look.
The fucking worst, shittiest thing about WCW commentary is whenever Goldberg is in the fucking ring. Tony and Tenay will NOT stop giving fellatio to Goldberg on commentary. Any time they praise the opponent, one or the other will go YEAH BUT HES NOT GOLDBERG. Heenan and Larry were the only ones that didn't get the memo of 'dont put anyone over but Goldberg. Everyone should b e asking at all times 'where's goldberg.''

I'll tout you the answer never.
They are, they're just called Vines now.
WWF New York was a themed restaurant in Times Square. I went there once. It was pretty unremarkable, and I think I still have a souvenir glass.
Edit: Apparently it was a nightclub, too. I wholly missed that part.
I thought he went down to that figure from 1 billion, not lost $750 million. Wouldn't be shocked if I'm wrong though.

Article says he has lost $750 million in two months.
CM Punk has more money than Vince confirmed.

Result of their shitty tv deal?
I don't know if you're being facetious, but I really think so. PPV busisness model seems insane to me, you have a 3 hour free weekly show and then you rely people to spend 50 bucks on an extra 3 hour monthly show that can be more easily pirated online than softwares. And still you have to give other companies a cut.
Unless the Network completely fold, which I doubt, they have created a stable busisness model, it may not grow so much as they want or expect, but they just adapted themselves to the internet; more than a lot of other entertainment companies can say.
"Lost" in the sense that he never had it in the first place, it's paper speculation.

No, it really is an investment. High costs lately. Performance Center, Network costs, digitizing the old libraries. It's a labor of love that will hopefully someday pay off. I bet it will, but there are hard times ahead.
From the little I understand, Vince treated investors as wrestling fans and cut promos saying they would invest a lot of money on the network, piss off PPV carriers, canibalize their own PPV money and still come out of this with profit by next year or so.
Than reality creashed down and stocks crashed down with it. The company is still profitable, however WWE made money since the 80s, is still making them money, but the market is adjusting to how much money that is.
If I am to give Vince too much credit and do a conspiracy theory at the same time, here is what I think he did (which might be ilegal, but hey, it's Vince): he lied to investors to get money to start the Network, then he started the Network, and now fuck you investors, I am free from my previous busisness model. If shares completely tank, he can just buy his own company back and keep on trucking.
no fatsos.
Weeeeeeeeelllllllll...!!!
A fat out of shape piece of shit with a neat gimmick that could evolve over time and have a lot of mileage.
Check your privilege
Sure. Just like Adam Rose. Bo's gimmick has NO range. You can not do anything with heel who doesnt know he's heel after the initial run.
You'd probably make a tumblr campaign for Jesse Ventura making fun of Sapphire.

Wrestling is still a thing?
WWE is copying TNA again by making shitty shows and losing money.
Wrestling shirts are staying in the dresser until wrestling is watchable again.

Adam Rose's gimmick is one-note. I think Bo's could have a lot of range. Could see him turning more vicious as he realizes people aren't buying his message. Imagine him saying his lines through gritted teeth to downed opponents and yelling at them. "All you had to do was Bolieve! But you didn't, and now where are you?!" I see that as taking him away from a comedy act to a serious character. And he could transition into a face beyond that. There's like a two or three year arc that could be done with Bo.
If only The Menagerie would go back to being as awesome as they were in their debut.
Their second appearance was a little too chaotic and lacked purpose.plagiarize

Someone wasn't watching NXT when Bo occupied.
Basically, you start with a guy who thinks he's inspiring fans that isn't. Eventually it ends up at a guy like Gob Bluth who still tries to maintain the front that he's a fan favorite but deep down inside knows it to be a lie.
And that's a really awesome character imho.
Seeing Bo break down crying when no one occupied NXT yelling 'I GAVE YOU COOKIES' was amazing.
