Some Wrestling News & Rumours 2019 Thread ***NO CHAT***

billion dollar baby

Well since this is the Rumour thread I guess it's ok to post.

There were some leaked nudes doing the rounds on Twitter over the weekend involving these two.

Evans were taken from a gay hookup app while Eddies were allegedly sent to a transgendered wrestler.

No judgement from me. Live and let live but I just think it's weird that this seems to have become a "thing". First Seth and now these guys. Surely if you are a recognisable face this is a risk you take

Don't even know the story but it'll be quite a while before anything tops that Kyle Walker one from the weekend :eek:

Stereomaniac

I just googled Kyle Walker video. I don't think I'll go any further with that piece of research.

What on earth was Booker thinking saying that.

Can't imagine he ever meant in the context everyone seems to be putting it under.

bradlente

It was obviously in the context of the Neville gimmick and getting him over,I thought it was fairly innocuous.JBL's comment beforehand was as stupid if not more so saying Owen was a high-flyer but not in that sort of way,it's pretty idiotic to go near the subject in the context of match action anyway.

jaykhunter

Yep, PC madness again. Only ***hole fans would immediately link the comment to Owen's death, and turn it into a big enough hoopla so he has to publicly apologise. Of course Booker referenced Neville's 'man that gravity forgot' moniker and was praising him for being a better high flyer than the great Owen Hart. It's sad that the complainers, no matter how ignorant and wrong, get so much power.

Written down it looks awful but said out loud you can see how it was a genuine foot in mouth moment. And it's Booker, i'd give him the benefit of the doubt on that panel over the others any day.

Plus it's actually a great joke..

Any clip of the comment floating about?

I didn't watch Raw and can't find it online

Agent Coulson

It was edited out of the 90 mintue RAW on Hulu.

Kane being annoyingly good again is my favorite trolling thing in Wrestling right now:

The Observer:



Lana's her theme then so!

Guess Eva Marie has served her time. Time for a new one.

Lana on Total Divas, brah.

Rusev dancing with Santino.

Vince: "Baywatch is still a thing, right?"

Jon Stark

I thought there was a problem in making a Lana a top face as she can't wrestle due to injury?

Then again, never been a problem before. :pac:

Others have raised the point that in November 2013 Meltzer reported a similar big plans for story about Big E Langston and Summer Rae respectively.

Despite millions cancelling the network due to Roman winning the Rumble, its been a good quarter for the WWE.


http://www.pwinsider.com/article/93397/wwe-breaks-records-posts-highest-quarterly-earnings-ever.html?p=1

WWE® Reports Record Quarterly Revenue

First-Quarter 2015 Highlights

Revenues increased 40% to $176.2 million, the highest quarterly revenue in WWE history
OIBDA of $21.0 million increased $28.2 million from the prior year quarter
Financial results surpassed the Company's public guidance
WWE Network reached 1.3 million total subscribers, representing a 99% increase from the prior year WrestleMania (which was held on April 6, 2014)

Much more indepth analysis in the PW insider link.

first quarter results were always gonna be strong, especially with Mania in it (last year Mania fell into Q2).
they'd want to see the Q2 results before getting too excited.

Network is once again free for new subs next month. Guess I'll just cancel and sub under a different name. No reward for loyalty whatsoever, sums up the entire company pretty well, just ask JR.

Didn't customers who were with the network for a year get a gift card for the WWE Store though? I think that's a reward for loyalty. I can imagine them doing similar things every year. Plus, it's all about getting people to sign-up. If it works it works, no point stopping using a tactic that is working.

Stereomaniac

Yeah. Sure some of the lads on here were saying they got stickers and discounts in the WWE Shop without any prior notice of it or anything. The WWE Network is our greatest gift ever.

Jerichoholic

Ooh stickers!

Lord TSC

Yeah, I got a voucher for the US store (20 or 25 dollars, can't remember). Used it to get a Balor shirt

grames_bond

I got a $25 voicher for the wwe shop! That was something at least!
