WCW's former parent company buys the entire WWE library

can't make this shit up

 

[Carnby]

I've been meaning to ask, why was Raw dubbed the Season Premier this past monday?

 

[slightconfuse]

Kenta has decent English

Guessing his hero is hideo nomo?

 

[strobogo]

WWE should immediately cut out the 24/7 live feed and only use it for actual live shows. I'm sure that would be a pretty significant savings for them on what is a pretty useless feature that most people don't seem to use anyway. Especially when you see how they use it and replay the same shit for 3 days. How many times was NoC 2011 aired on the live stream last week? At least 7.

 

[slightconfuse]

Lol kenta making the acension look like jobbers

 

[Nerdkiller]

Licensing some of the WWE library? Sure. But purchasing the whole thing? Got to be bullshit. WWE would never give that up.

Probably Warner just being distributors for whatever home video releases WWE has to offer. WWE would have to be stupid to give up its entire library.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

I'm assuming they'll do this for every WWE Network renewal period.

 

[BronsonLee]

That sounds like WB taking over from Cinedigm, not buying the library.

Oooooh cheerleader Melissa in Talking Shop Saturday

@Machinegunka: #TalkingShop drops a new estrogen filled ep this Saturday
Excited to announce Cheerleader Melissa sat in with @azucarRoc n myself @MLW

 

[njean777]

I hope they do not get rid of the network, it is the only way I will watch PPV's anymore. I will not pay 60$ a pop for any PPV.

 

[Serpentine]

KENTA's theme sounded pretty great to me.

Yeah I like that one too! There's not many i don't like.

Lol kenta making the acension look like jobbers

getting them ready for what they'll be on the main roster

Tyson wearing Beats headphones, praising Total Divas. He knows how to be a heel to Full Sail.

 

[Macho Madness]

Read what isn't bolded in the article. Whoever posted it got that backwards. Warner Bros would be taking over something that Cinedigm currently does. I believe they would handle storage of the physical tapes, not distribution which WWE does themselves.

Much ado about nothing.

This week's ROH TV is now available for everyone. Check it out here:

Well worth it for Silas Young vs. Brian Kendrick and The Addiction (Kaz and Daniels) vs. The Young Bucks.

Damn, wanted the ghost of WCW to get its revenge.

BALTIMORE (September 9, 2014) -- Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc.

Does Silas Young still look like old Chris Hero from a better timeline?

What the hell is ratchet and why is Sasha one?

Urban slang; based on the mispronunciation of the word wretched. Used to describe someone acting "ghetto."

Basically, because Sasha Banks is black she gets to be called ratchet by the cool NXT Universe.

 

[kirblar]

One thing I think that HHH gets - if you make your roster smaller on average- it makes your monsters that much bigger on camera. When everyone's big, you run into the Jack Swagger problem, where he looks normal sized...until you actually put him next to someone normal sized.

 

[Pseudonumb]

I've been meaning to ask, why was Raw dubbed the Season Premier this past monday?

To try and support Raw against the premier of Monday Night Football.

 

[Vylash]

the only thing i'll miss from the network is a good way to watch nxt, put it up on youtube or something, fuck hulu

 

[Ithil]

It's sort of amazing to imagine the journey of Sin Cara, the character, to his first title in WWE, a developmental tag title.
Sin Cara is originally Mistico, hyped to the heavens and planned to be a top star, and three and a half years later through a serious of unfortunate events, Sin Cara, now played by someone else, wins the NXT tag team titles.

It's hard to peg what Sasha is. She doesn't look black. She doesn't look white. She doesn't look mixed. She doesn't look Asian. She doesn't look Indian.

You mean the Silas Young that used to come out to Journey, or the current one?

The Kurt Angle effect.

 

[cacophony]

is the Network really doing that bad? it doesn't seem like they would need that much money to profit, just sever/bandwith costs and shit

isnt it worth it for the ppvs alone? theyre like $50 each so 1 yr of ppvs on the network covers 2-3

Sasha Banks' race: BOSS

I THINK she is half-black, half-white, but it's a guess.

Also as far as debut squash matches go, Baron Corbin's was pretty good.

Sorry, I should've said bi-racial and that she appears black to most people.

A promoter, unfortunately, just posted this on Facebook about Bobby Heenan...

Tmart promotions wants to let everyone know that bobby the brain Heenan will not be at legends of the ring or the wrestling universe store in queens ny on Sunday sept 21st.

Bobby's wife called me and unfortunately bobby fell last night and broke his right hip. He will be going into surgery tomorrow morning.

Let's all keep bobby in our thoughts.

The guy just can't catch a break at all. I really hope he pulls through yet again.

I know this sounds horrible, but to me the real Brain died years ago.

Shame that the last thing he did for the WWE before his body began to really fall apart was the Gimmick Battle Royal.

 

[Alucard]

Good luck to Bobby.

 

[slightconfuse]

Fatal 4 way was awesome
Sami forever jobbing .

He was at WM20 banging Moolah and Mae in a closet in MSG with Gene.

 

[Downhome]

Even with all that Bobby has been through, he always keeps his spirits high at appearances and he has never lost his sharp tongue and amazing wit. He just can't really make any television appearances, for obvious reasons.

 

[BeatnikGunsoo]

it's too bad Eric Bischoff couldn't buy WCW

 

[Downhome]

I always wonder if WCW would have just ended up becoming TNA, or something along those lines, had it even survived in the first place. Perhaps not since I doubt Bishoff would have teamed up with Russo, but still, I still wonder.

This guy is just so cool. His whole demeanor and the way he was eyeing Parker... I looked at his earlier NXT match and he was like Mojo Rawley lite. But he was absolutely awesome tonight.

 

[bitesnintendog]

Watch XWF and Impact after Hogan and him joined. I'm pretty sure booking wise it would be very similar.

 

[Thorakai]

So I was invited to this fancy Sushi place in Mexico that had wrasslin remix television segment playing on the televisions. I think I saw Rosita vs. Kelly Kelly. Wrasslin' is high-end now, friends.

It would have been exactly like early TNA, because all those ideas for the early TNA show were plans that Bischoff was going to do with WCW if he bought it.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Guess I should post my actual Takeover thoughts.

Great show. Baron Corbin was given a great start. Ascension losing was good, and so was their match. Charlotte vs Bayley showed that my god Charlotte is coming along amazing and I'm completely behind her being ready for the main roster. WOW. Sasha Banks is an amazing cunt, Mojo got the bejeezus beaten out of him and I liked it, thank god, and Enzo is top tier talent.

Tyler Breeze should have won, goddammit.

It IS nice how NXT can focus on the one title and it seems that whoever has it turns evil, I like that.

 

[Ithil]

What did you think of KENTA's debut?

[Spirit of Jazz]

As somebody who knows shit about ska past the Goldfinger generation is it bad that I prefer Zayn's current theme over his Ole Bouncing Souls Indie theme?
