  1. Great way quoting a spoiler that revealed the spoiler. Trivia question: How many different wrestlers won the WWE Championship since 2012? 1 (CM Punk) Now count how many different wrestlers won the World Heavyweight title since 2012. 1 (Daniel Bryan), 1 (Sheamus), 1 (Big Show). And if WWE starting to be booked by Vince Russo, count how many WWE Championship during 1999. Then count wrestlers that held WCW World Heavyweight title during Vince Russo time from 1999-2001. Now I'm starting to wonder if we forgot how to count.
  2. Brock looked bad #*! the last UFC match he was in. Via Tap Out.
  3. Brock Lesnar i remembered --> http://youtu.be/SGqxcxFVKAQ?t=3m53s
  4. From all those reviewers, i wonder what they have liked in the last five years. That would be a needle in a haystack adventure. @UkWrestleFan, indeed. They left that segment with Nash and Lauirinatis for a reason after the kayfabe firing. It's like the Vince McMahon limo explosion and WWE trying to blur the line with reality by trying to make it like he died.
  5. WCW drop in profits were staggering and immediate. I don't think the WWE has a lot of fixed cost in terms of how WCW handled their contracts with their big stars. I assume the WWE pays their workers a certain amount based on how much they draw from live events and so on. Not exactly sure. But i know Bischoff talked about doing it in 2001 with WCW and make pay variable to how much people they are drawing in. WCW didn't manage it too well. WWE probably won't get a better contract on the next TV contract negotiations. But it's just going to make the top guys make even less than they did previously.
  6. I found an interesting article here. How Does WWE in 2009 make more money than 2001 Not sure how factual the numbers but they seem about right. *** 2009: $72.8 domestic TV rights fees + $39.1 int'l TV rights fee + $7.7 advertising = $119.6 million net revenue (with $68.3 in cost) 2005: $52.3 domestic TV rights fees + $24.8 int'l TV rights fee + $43.7 advertising = $120.8 million net revenue (with $68.5 in cost) 2001: $20.9 domestic TV rights fees + $14.3 int'l TV rights fee + $90.3 advertising = $125.5 million net revenue (with $78.3 in cost) 2009: $51.3 million in profit 2005: $52.3 million in profit 2001: $47.2 million in profit
  7. djthefunkchris, if you get a chance, watch Morrison/Del Rio. Nice opening match as well as the promo between Del Rio/Cena/CM Punk/HHH at the start of the show. Cena just being too much inconsistent the last month or two. Wonder what he has to say about taking this assist from Nash. Del Rio took an assist from Nash himself and capitalized on Punk winning the WWE title. Cena crapped on him last week for it. Now Cena practically did the same thing this week capitalizing on an assist from Nash by beating Punk. Del Rio, like any smart MITB guy would do, just watch that SummerSlam match and the opportunity lucked out.
  8. Especially Rey Mysterio winning a championship and not finding anything wrong with Rey being forced to defend it later in the night.
  9. Cena using that distraction lol. Such a heel move. And he criticized Del Rio for the Kevin Nash assist.
