    Good. They should be pissed off. Will anyone have the balls to go to Vince about it? Doubt it.

    Triple H said on the press call on Tuesday that they will be cycling more main roster talent into NXT to freshen them up. They have been pretty much doing this already so I guess they will continue it.

    It appears Cesaro's Twitter was taken over by someone who wants a Cesaro push

    These tweets were deleted:

    WWE talent need to change their passwords quickly!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Moneymaker


    This is the risk you take when you INSIST all your talent have social media accounts. WWE management hopefully understand this, along with the Rollins debacle.

    Seriously what a ****ing moron though. How does **** like that help Cesaro? I understand the frustration(believe me as a massive Cesaro mark I share it) but that is just idiotic. It's been said Vince looks down on and hates the IWC and I can understand why a lot of the time.

    What happened with Kidd?

    So how come out of all the indie guys, he hasn't got the same push as the likes of Bryan, Ambrose or Rollins?


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,611 ✭✭✭✭ERG89


    Orton is the current champion??? :confused:
    The amount those last two got retweeted is a sad reflection on the people who want to see him get a push. Although how changing his theme would help his push is beyond me :pac:

    I think the intent was that Orton was champ when Cesaro beat him.

    Brie Bella substantiates the reports about the unhappiness main roster at how wrestlers especially women are handled on WWE TV vs NXT TV:



    "If I was an NXT Diva, I wouldn't want to be called up" - Brie Bella

    See 5min 30sec match.

    Sorry, was referring to Cesaro's alleged tweets, when he was saying he lost a tag title opportunity with Kidd. Did they split?

    And was wondering why Cesaro hasn't had the success of Bryan, Rollins or Ambrose


  • Registered Users Posts: 543 ✭✭✭spektorfive


    It been discussed before, but Cearso is not seen as a top guy by Vince McMahon as Vince pretty much said so in Austin podcast.


  • Registered Users Posts: 908 ✭✭✭Palo Alto


    He's a charisma vacuum by comparison to those 3. He obviously deserves better, but as a henchman to authority with Kane and Big Show put out to pasture, as others have suggested, would have been a great fit for him.

    +1

    Was going to say the same. I like Cesaro, think he's a good wrestler and I'm disappointed to see him floundering but he's a long way from being such a complete package that he HAS to be pushed to the moon.

    Honestly I feel sorry for Luke Harper more who has been having great matches for months. Only thing I remember Cesaro doing was pretending to join Team Cena only to make himself look like an idiot oh and fluffing a promo which was probably a chance he was given to shine

    Sky 1 or Sky Sports 1?, thought all WWE PPV's were now Sky Box Office exclusive?


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 24,989 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    Fastlane is on Sky1 next Sunday. :eek:

    From sky's website itself;

    "Watch WWE Raw, 1am, Monday, Sky Sports 3 and then WWE Fast Lane at 1am on Sunday, February 22 on Sky Sports Box Office.
    WWE Fast Lane booking details
    WWE Fast Lane will be shown on Sky Sports Box Office (channel 743) and Sky Sports HD Box Office (channel 752) at 1am on Sunday, February 22 (Monday morning)."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,301 ✭✭✭✭gerrybbadd


    No doubt Sky are trying to counter, because the Network is Free For All for February


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,895 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    It will be fun to see if Sky give away Wrestlemania on Sky1.

    If they do you would have to think they are trying to kill the Network for the casual viewer.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,216 ✭✭✭Ageyev


    Sky 1 haven't been shown WWE PPV matches since maybe some specials in the mid-1990s.

    You would imagine they will still get some Box Office buys probably from people who don't have or can't get the Network on their TV.

    I always liked the trade off that although you had to stay up way late to watch PPVs live (on this side of the Atlantic), they were included as part of the package. It was basically that move away from PPVs at no extra cost that led me to streams and such as a direct consequence. Services like SKY have been digging their own graves for years in the shadow of piracy and, now, competitively priced internet-based services like the WWE Network.

    It's on my EPG on Sky 1 anyway.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,412 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    I would guess Sky are showing it on Sky 1 as the network is free in november for new subscribers.

    May as well use it to attract attention to the exclusive content they have on sky sports that is not on the network


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,895 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    WWE's upcoming pay-per-view Fastlane will be available to watch on Sky Sports and Sky1 this weekend.

    It had been suggested that under Sky's recent five-year deal with WWE all PPVs would only be available via Sky Box Office at an additional charge, but this now appears not to be the case.

    WWE Fastlane will air in the UK on Sky Sports, Sky1 and Sky1 HD at 1am on Monday morning (February 23).

    Tempted to chage my last post to be about how poor Samoa Joe is these days in TNA




    Then make this one about how great it would be to see him signed up for NXT by Triple H


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,520 ✭✭✭Hashtag_HEEL


    Triple H needs to jump on that contract soon! Get him down to NXT as soon as possible!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    Want Punk-Joe IV in UFC to be honest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Moneymaker


    Can't see it, but maybe the opportunity would give him some renewed motivation.

    I'd absolutely love to have seen 2005 Samoa Joe in WWE, but not 2015 Joe. I guess it's possible he could have a Goldust-like career resurrection. He was around with Cena back in OVW IIRC (he did a tryout with Essa Rios on TV) but I guess they didn't see a star in him. Think he could get back to 2005 Joe, despite being 35 and beaten down by TNA?

    Joe would make a good trainer down there, rather than a guy they would sign to get onto RAW.

    He doesn't have a wwe name to call on like Goldust had that allowed a resurgence in his career. In saying that Konnor from the ascension is only a year younger than him and i know who i would rather see on Raw (even in a tag team).

    Pure speculation but with the way TNA operate now, the part time nature if it allowing people to make money elsewhere, chances are he has something lined up. Hopefully he does, i want to see people in wrestling move onto good things rather than what happened to so many in the past.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭Machismo Fan


    Looking forward to his New Japan matches vs. Shibata and Ishii.

    Wonder if the Sky 1 version of Fastlane will have ads


  • Registered Users Posts: 328 ✭✭Griever931


    I would like to see Samoa Joe in ROH now at least for a few shows anyways. Interesting to see him up against Elgin or Hanson maybe.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    Eternal optimist but would be the crowning moment of my fandom if Joe got even as far as NXT

    If you have sky sports, is it not a given that you have sky 1 also, can you sub sky sports separately or maybe it is available in different territories where sky 1 is not. I don't have sky so just curious as to why they are showing it on both channels, I thought sky 1 would have covered everyone?

    Joe has to go to NJPW. Everything else is irrelevant.

    Match announced on Smackdown for Fast Lane.
    Goldust v Stardust. Disappointed it isn't being held off until Wrestlemania.

    That is bullsheet.

    Hopefully it leads to a bigger angle, and a bigger match at
    Wrestlemania


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,820 ✭✭✭grames_bond


    Ah here - talk about bowing your load too soon - hopofully there is some shmaltzy ending so they have to have the blowout rematch at mania!


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,603 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Doesn't surprise me. Honestly, while it's great that the match is going to happen, it's really not "Mania" level when you consider the matches already on the card, AND the people who aren't on it yet. I'd actually much rather they get the time at Fastlane and do it properly than be rushed or dropped at Mania.

    The mania of old used to just be match, match, match. I think they could wrestle at mania no problem, it would involve dropping one of the clowny backstage segments and thats fine imo.

    I'd be amazed if it's the only match of the feud. They know fans have wanted the match at Mania for years.

    Surely it's a Dusty finish ( :pac: ) or something.

    I'm just glad they are doing it. Cody has been knocking it out the park lately, as usual.
