It would be so much better if anyone really cared about seeing Matt Hardy on TV any more. Or on YT. Or on a milk carton.
 
This led to Undertaker vs. Kane. It should be noted that Kane is far more over in Mexico than probably anywhere else in the world, so the match got over better than their recent bouts in the U.S. have.

That's...random as hell.

"Otunga and Slater were shocked and stunned when WWE referee Jack Doan took a break from the match to show off his impressive Hulk Hogan impersonation."

:lol
 
So apparently Matt Hardy put out another video, this time responding to Lita's recent "Wow, what happened to that guy?" comment on a radio show when asked about his videos.

Has anyone watched it? I don't want to kill my brain and load it up.

I watched it. It was sad. Very, very sad (big fucking surprise). :lol
 
I'm telling you, Matt Hardy is trolling the IWC. The man is probably in great shape, both physically and mentally, and is laughing his ass off right now.
 
Slater comes off as a corny heel. Otunga, Barrett and even Gabriel are perfect heels. Slater just looks like an idiot floundering out there.

There's a reason Smackdown was so great over the past couple months. Now its lord and savior returns to put everyone back in their place. And people say Triple H buries talent.

IDK when it happened, but if you watch Superstars Masters has actually turned into a good wrestler. I couldn't believe it at first. He works well as an undercard babyface that can have a good match with heels to be built up.
 
News about NOAH's financial woes and the possibility of a split in the future;

This is an early line on what could be one of the biggest pro wrestling news stories of both this and next year.

There is a lot of talk that with the NTV budget back under control, that the network will bring pro wrestling back. NTV aired pro wrestling from 1954 until 2009, with only a short break during the switch from All Japan to Pro Wrestling NOAH, at which time they still ran a magazine style weekly show. NOAH has continued to run on NTV’s satellite station, but there is a huge difference financially which has left the company crippled. The problem with Japanese wrestling as compared to the U.S. and Mexico is as much television related as MMA related.

Because Japan’s satellite channels are decades behind the U.S., television viewing is still dominated by the major networks. For example, the numbers K-1 shows still do would beat any sport in the U.S. except the NFL, the Final Four, the World Series and NBA playoff finals. But in Japan, the networks routinely pull bigger numbers for regular programming. The standards are much higher. A pro wrestling television show doing a 4.0 in prime time would be a disaster, so pro wrestling hasn’t been in prime time for years. There was an interesting lag and even before MMA got big, and when wrestling was at its peak of drawing power, there were people in Japan who predicted the fall, noting with TV at 2 a.m., the fervent audience would stay up, or tape the show, plus they could follow it in the newspapers and magazines where it got big coverage. But young kids and teenagers who grew up with pro wrestling during its television glory days in the 70s and 80s was no longer the case. In recent years, the biggest stars were still the guys who had made their names in the 90s. While NOAH had plenty of good workers, the guys people paid to see were still Mitsuharu Misawa and Kenta Kobashi. When the former passed away and the latter battled for his life and then battled through injuries that by all rights should have forced him to retire, the great workers like KENTA, Takashi Sugiura and Naomichi Marufuji, who themselves were all battling injuries from the style, didn’t have the name value to the masses. The combination of the smaller big show gates and non-existent television money, the company was headed for almost an inevitable fall.

Right now, it is likely that NOAH is going to split into two groups because of differing viewpoints on running the show. One group would be headed by Kenta Kobashi, who wants to protect the jobs of the wrestlers. The other, would be headed by longtime NOAH business head Ryu Nakata, who wanted to get rid of some of the veteran wrestlers because the company was losing money, and also because they would slow down the live shows because they couldn’t go and weren’t over. Exactly who would wind up with who is unknown, other than Jun Akiyama is said to be siding with the Kobashi side.

But right now until that new network deal comes in, and if it does, it wouldn’t likely be until April, when the new TV season starts, the company is in a lot of trouble.

Due to money being so low, the front office stopped getting their regular paychecks last week, which is usually one of those signs things are going down, although All Japan had this problem for a long time and they’re still around. A lot of the wrestlers, instead of getting weekly paychecks, are getting paid in cash at the end of the shows they work out of the gate, which may be old school U.S. wrestling, but that is not major league Japanese wrestling.

Crazy, and a good insight into NOAH and wrestling in generals decline with the Japanese audience. Hopefully NTV will pick NOAH up again and there won't be any problem, not sure what happens to the company if that doesn't happen though. Guess they'd have to downsize or go out of business.

You make a sound point. Although they could have at least given the token "job to the Cobra" spot to Chavo Guerrero. They have history.

Slater's facial expressions crack me up. He's got natural comedic timing.

Wow that is crazy. Also brings back memories of the initial split that happened to create NOAH in the first place.

What's the problem? She is keeping in character or are you thinking something because she responded to a tweet mentioning Matt Hardy?

It makes no sense. Jeff's like "I'm a heel now" and she's responding like that's a real thing people say when they're evil.

Well Jeff never said he is a heel. He just posted a tweet from someone on his twitter that said that. Then Dixie responded to the tweet off of his twitter on hers for some reason.
 
Actor Freddy Prinze Jr. was rehired by WWE as a producer and director. He had a brief run as part of the writing team in 2009. The story we got is that Prinze Jr. got back in touch with the company in August and said he was interested in working there again, but didn’t want to travel to Stamford. He’s going to be at a lot of the television shoots involved with backstage pre-tapes, on-site vignettes, and will be involved in a lot of the creative meetings, but via conference call from Los Angeles. He’ll fly in for a lot of the television shoots, but not all. He was generally well liked by everyone in creative when he was there.

That actually sounds like a nice comfy job.

Is that from the Observer newsletter? If so do you subscribe or do you download it somewhere online?

Yeah, I subscribe to it. I barely even watch wrestling anymore but I've been reading this sheet since Vince was indicted.

I feel so old. :(

I love how, in about half a year, Kane went from a jobber in the eyes of the IWC to apparently someone who's buried talent for years, lol.

I think the ICW knew he was a good wrestler, WWE just wouldn't give him any slack. But he hasn't buried anyone. He hasn't even fought anyone outside Undertaker since winning the title except for a quick one-off rematch against Maestrio. And even in that match, Super Rey looked stronger than he should have.
