    As crazy as it sounds CMLL out sold WWE in ticket sales for 2025 the sold over 1 million tickets for Arena Mexico alone.

    Ciampa leaving the WWE seems a strange one at his age and him being Triple H’s man I would have thought he would have been a WWE lifer and ended up as a producer back stage.

    Will Ospreay really getting behind Session Moth. Great to see her get a spotlight

    Former NXT UK wrestler Primate is on tonight's episode of Gladiators on BBC now.

    Roman confirmed his contract is up after wrestlemania. Should Tony Khan throw everything he has at trying to sign him?

    He seemed to have a very big dig at Triple H as well yesterday on his creative

    Hard to disagree with him about the booking but he seem a bit deluded with some of his comments.

    "We haven't evolved. We have great leadership in Nick Khan. God bless him. What a businessman. He's a genius. But, we have to be able to keep up with that creatively. That's why people like me, people who are striving to be the very best... I just can't sit around and see mediocracy. Not when I set it up for everybody to just slam it home. I mean, we're on Netflix, for crying out loud. We gotta, you gotta, capitalize. We've got people out here playing around and trying to figure it out, and I got the formula."

    Tony should hire just for the formula!

    No doubt a lot of these comments are part of a negotiation tactic to get more money out of WWE. even the OTT arse licking of Nick Khan.

    The lifeboat has set sail

    It was an interview half done in kayfabe, not hard to see from even that final line.

    Punk and Liv’s and a few other wrestlers agent having a cocaine meltdown on Twitter over the last few weeks and leaving his agency is now doxxing Tony Khan releasing is personal phone and email addresses is the ultimate case of someone working themselves into a shoot.

    The guy had the world at his feet a really seriously good job in the entertainment world and seems to have blown it all because Twitter and cocaine.

    He wasn't there agent, he worked for the agency that represents a number of people in the wrestling industry. The guy Nick is a car crash happening in front of everyone's eyes and I'd take anything he says with about a gallon of salt



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 236 ✭✭CajunSurprise


    Okay you know better than Forbes then


    LoPiccolo recently announced he was departing Paradigm Talent Agency for other endeavors. LoPiccolo represents WWE Superstars CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Jade Cargill and Liv Morgan.

    LoPiccolo’s roster includes several athletes connected to WWE and TKO including CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Liv Morgan, Mariah May and Jade Cargill. As an agent who represents some of the biggest stars in wrestling, LoPiccolo was a wealth of knowledge when it came to his insight into the business of wrestling

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,354 ✭✭✭NITRO95


    In this case I absolutely do know better than Forbes and Alfred. Alfred is a hack and if he said the sky was blue I'd look up to check cos I wouldn't believe a word he says. Anyway Piccolo has no clients. Paradigm has clients and Piccolo worked for Paradigm. I'm just a person on the Internet so you don't need to believe me but in this and every instance, I assure you, I know better than Alfred Konuwa



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 236 ✭✭CajunSurprise


    Just admit you are wrong it’s okay no one will hold it against you.

    Most of your posts on boards really come across as an angry old poster shouting at clouds.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,354 ✭✭✭NITRO95


    I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong. I've been wrong plenty of times. I'm not wrong now. I've no problem if you think I'm full of sh1t. Like I said you don't know who I am and you obviously don't trust my word over Alfred. That's fine. If Nick starts his own agency, he won't, and he's the representative of people like Liv Morgan and CM Punk, he won't be, then I'll come here and admit I was wrong. As things stand, Nick Piccolo was someone who worked for Paradigm and worked with some WWE talent. He then worked himself into a shoot regarding Tony Khan and came to a mutual agreement, he was fired, to leave Paradigm. No amount of paid for puff pieces will change that.

    As for my posting style, meh some people just don't like being disagreed with and can't handle any level of debate.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 236 ✭✭CajunSurprise


    So wait what he was there representative ie. agent when he was at that agency, but you said he wasn’t in your earlier post.

    Make you your mind.

    Is Deadline also wrong and also hacks when they have stated he was the representative since you know more than anyone.

    LoPiccolo’s client roster includes Aaron Donald, Reggie Bush, Ray Lewis, Sean Avery, Amanda Serrano, Zhang Weili, Jorge Masvidal, CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Jade Cargill, Liv Morgan, Tiffany Stratton, and more than a dozen WWE Superstars



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 236 ✭✭CajunSurprise


    Their agent worked himself into a shoot on cocaine and Twitter and lost his job at that agency and that group of talent will now get new an agent from that agency or leave with him.

    It’s highly doubtful any of them will leave with him after his cocaine meltdown but he was their agent which I stated in my first post.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,354 ✭✭✭NITRO95


    Think you are the one who needs to make their mind up pal, or at least remember which account you are using before you hit send.

    Also yes the Deadline article was basically written by Nick himself. He dictated it to the author, can't recall her name. I mean all this info is out there but sure keep throwing shots at me

    Okay I apologise to everyone on the forum for getting it wrong! Nitro95 knows more and has corrected the falsehoods posted by Forbes and Deadline that I posted on this forum. I will endeavour to not take well known and respected entertainment and business Industry publications articles at face value ever again.

    Again apologies to all the posters on boards that read this forum for post falsehoods from those sources.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 236 ✭✭CajunSurprise


    Kayla helped him sign up WWE talent to be their agent and then he ghosted her. Imagine letting cocaine and Twitter spats ruin really promising career in the entertainment world and your future employment prospects in the world




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 236 ✭✭CajunSurprise


    Bron is out for a while after having hernia surgery so that would explain is early and quick exit from the Rumble.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,541 ✭✭✭ThePott


    There's been a conflicting report from PWInsider stating that he actually injured himself on the Raw after Rumble while flipping the announce table, which has to be a horrendous case of bad luck if true.

    WBD reportedly blocked Brody King from appearing on AEW Dynamite last night

    “The deal is that they didn’t want the fans in the arena to be chanting that. If Brody came out, there was that risk…when he comes back it will happen again. I don’t know how they’re going to handle it. This is again not a Tony call. This is from above. You know what it is, nobody wants to get on Trump’s bad side. That’s just how it is. No Brody King on the show when he and MJF should have had a segment on the show.”

    The lifeboat has set sail



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 236 ✭✭CajunSurprise


    WBD denied that in a statement to Fightful.



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 27,332 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    Observer got it wrong again so. Can’t say I’m surprised.

    The lifeboat has set sail



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 236 ✭✭CajunSurprise


    Very badly wrong. I really hope Tony pulls the trigger now and puts the title on Brody in Australia.

    He can drop it again at Revolution to MJF.
