Some of Todays Wrestling News and Rumours (Possible spoilers) ***NO CHAT***

Bounty Hunter

It's not today's news but I didn't see it mentioned anywhere, the man who gave "two fingers" to wellness is back!

After a year-long absence, Bourne returned on March 28, 2013, at an NXT live event, defeating Rami Sebei.

surprise post Mania Raw / or Andre Battle Royal (they have spaces to fill) return perhaps

although those spaces will probably go to NXT guys as its not a royal rumble it's a battle Royal so you probably wouldnt get a big pop for an entrant so a return would likely be wasted

Why does that say he returned in 2013? Is that not from last years return, it has to be two years since he was seen

ShagNastii

Sh!te your right!

Where has he been? hanging out with JTG?

Jim Cornette and then Steve Austin were surprise guests at Jim Ross's live show at New Orleans:



The first New Orleans iPPV was a disaster with EVOLVE's live stream going up and down. Not something that inspires confidence in the various other iPPVs held in that venue. A venue which was a hall/theatre type setup that you would see a school play in with seats on the stage:

Ape Lincoln

Cornette's looking well. I try to listen to his podcasts but it's just too annoying.

That Evolve show looks a bit ..... weird, how many people were there? Is that the audience standing on the stage? Looks like about 100. Wrestling.ie did the ring on a stage thing.

rovert

They are standing and cheering a Wrestler making their entrance. Another annoying thing is that theatre is on a college campus so they can't serve alcohol.

Mick Murdock

Looks like less than 100 to me. Wouldn't like to see the crowds they attract elsewhere. Pointless.

Fire Pro Wrestling creator has died. Hope this is the right place to post it.

Ah, it looks like 100 on the stage and from where the pic was taken, the theatre seats, were the cheaper general admission seats. Apparently the GA seats were way way back.

Give me a "hell yeah!"

Lord TSC

Suddenly his insights into the punk situation gain some credibility...

ricero

Love to see him get a guest ref or enforcer role in the main event

gerrybbadd

Can't wait to hear the pop when the glass breaks

Austin and Bryan too close mania?

Ape Lincoln

They also invited The Rock, HBK, Jericho and Jim Ross. Dave Meltzer is of the opinion that Rock will make a cameo at Mania possibly "live via satelite"

Shawn Michaels is booked for something at the WWE related weekend, Jim Ross is doing his thing and will be going to HoF, Piper was on Raw, Hogan is hosting (how he's going to get down that ramp I don't know).

Jerichoholic

Well look who's in town for Mania!

Mick Murdock

Rocks up in his tour bus.. Talk about blatant!


Is it def New Orleans though?

Jerichoholic

Apparently so, unconfirmed so far. I think something is afoot though.

Well he was at an "Against Me" show in Chicago last night so it's an old picture.

deano546

If you search for that image on google you can find it in months old tumblr posts so it isn't in New Orleans.

Mick Murdock

Got my hopes up there..

Jerichoholic

Ah well. I saw it on another forum and got excited.

Donegal Dan

Most online reports would suggest there's a strong chance

The Rock

will be there.

Some potential development regarding Sting at WM.

Vickie Guerrero is leaving very soon apparently as per Meltzer.

A Primal Nut

WWE release subscriber numbers: 667,287.

http://online.wsj.com/article/PR-CO-20140407-904877.html

Am I right in saying that's not such good number, given that it also includes many international signups?

In Meltzer's analysis he was saying that anything below 850,000 would not be a good sign.

I'm surprised I have to say; I thought it would do better. Can't see it increasing to 1m (approximate break even point) without opening up to international markets. If people won't signup ahead of WrestleMania, then they are unlikely to sign up at all. Some will, but another 50% of what they already have?

Will be interesting to see how the share price opens.
