  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.
  10. Last pictures i seen of Batista, he lost muscle mass. What made him appeal in the WWE was his size (even if its roids). Goldberg looked different than his prime days too. Jericho is even in that tour to Congo, Africa.
  11. From what I've heard, it's a sticker plate of some sort blocking the actual AAA title. So that's probably why it reads Immortal. Jeff Jarrett referred to it as an Immortal Championship (or something close) a week or two ago. Or whatever the Impact after Hardcore Justice.
  12. <p>On topic and dirt sheet material:</p><p> </p><p> Credit: PWTorch</p><p> </p><p> Booker T says his in-ring days are not over and to "stay tuned" on a possible return to the ring. Booker, who wrestled Jack Swagger on Raw TV two months ago in an unhyped singles match, tweeted on Wednesday: "Q. Why am I not wrestling now. I feel great, I still train daily I'm going to finish it, so just stay tuned." Booker also picked up where RVD left off in TNA claiming the Young Bucks (Generation Me in TNA) disrespected him at TV this week. Read Booker's tweets at Twitter.com/BookerT5x.</p>
  13. Who should have played the role of HHH best buddy, XPac? Sheamus? Drew McIntyre? Anyone that has the history of Nash deserves the current role, it's perfect in this particular story. Of course, if the match was the end all, didn't stop Hogan/Sting, HBK/Mr.McMahon, Jericho/Legends from happening. I have more faith in CM Punk getting a match out of Nash than someone like The Miz. It's not going to be a show stealer. If they can duplicate the crowd reaction from Hogan/Rock (doubtful), they don't need to do much in the ring anyways. But if Khali can main event the recent SmackDown, i have faith Nash could get one match done with Punk. Who's a better worker: Khali or a physical mess like Nash? Probably neither. And who would have been perfect in this role instead of Kevin Nash was Shawn Michaels. I want to see CM Punk -vs- HBK. But guess i could that in TEW 2010 than the real world.
  14. John Cena should try beating CM Punk first before thinking of doing that.
  15. They said the same thing about The Rock. Just like The Rock, who only signed on for one match. I believe there is a high probability Austin gets into a WrestleMania match. It makes it plausible for Austin especially since Austin has talked about having his last hoorah, and it possibly being CM Punk. Rock doesn't need wrestling. Austin is in the same boat. And we need a dream match for WM 29 if HHH/Punk is going down at 28.
