I will have no interest in the show if they go down that road. We will find out today if that is the case or not and I hope it is not the case.<p> </p><p> The show has gotten a little too SJW recently but it is still watchable. However, if they take a character that has played by a man for fifty some odd years and turn the character into a woman I will have to say peace out.</p><p> </p><p> I have read that ratings have not been as good with Peter Capaldi playing the part, so it would not surprise me if they were to cast a woman in the part to create a buzz for the show. </p><p> </p><p> Honestly, I liked Peter Capaldi as the Doctor. He sort of reminded me a bit of Jon Pertwee. I think the reason why he might have failed to connect with the audience was partly because of his age and partly because the shows during his tenure were not up to snuff when compared to the other Doctors of the new Who era. The age thing might have been a big factor as well because you went from having two young conventionally good looking actors, who the women absolutely, adored to having an older man play the part.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> I did not see this until today.</p><p> </p><p> Rob's season was painful. It was like nobody wanted to play/knew how to play and they just wanted to hand him the money. The only highlight of that season was that it gave us, Special Agent Phillip Sheppard. That dude was comedy gold.</p><p> </p><p> That whole Zeke thing was uncomfortable to watch at the time. If it was scripted or not I did feel bad for Zeke (Well if it was scripted, then that means he was in on it so I guess it would be hard to feel bad for him). Nobody deserves to be forced into outing themselves if they do not want to be outed. </p><p> </p><p> I am not sure it was scripted because I felt that for the most part Survivor is more on the up and up (Though I can clearly see why one might think it was indeed scripted). Or at least when compared to Big Brother. I mean in Big Brother the blatantly fix the show to get the outcome they want. I would like and sort of believe Survivor is not the same way but who knows. </p><p> </p><p> I know TC is heavily edited because it normally lasts a long time and we the viewers only get to see ten minutes of what could be a two hour TC.</p><p> </p><p> In regards to Jeff Varner, well like I said I did not like nor agree with what he did. I mean he of all people should have been empathetic towards Zeke's feeling of not wanting to be out. However, I do not agree with people threatening to kill Varner and I am not favor of him getting fired from his job. </p><p> </p><p> People do stupid things all of the time and he just happened to do in on national television. Does that mean he should become a social pariah for the rest of his life?</p><p> </p><p> Now if we are talking about Mike Skupin and what he did, well yeah that guy deserves to be a social pariah for the rest of his life.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> You make some excellent points, and I was letting the conspiracy theories get the best of me. Looking forward to December when I can buy the new season of Survivor to binge watch that.</p>

<p>Test chemistry between Kristen and Angry Gilmore. If neutral or positive, you can run a storyline where Jessie gets abducted by someone (preferably someone she has neutral or good chemistry with as well). Gilmore goes through hell to get her back and in the blow off match she joins the person who abducted her.</p><p> </p><p> Not sure if that would work (alignment wise), but it could be a jumping off point for you.</p>

Had the ECW ONS (Van Dam vs Cena) happened yet? I would say either Guerrero or Christian. Imagine rewriting history with Christian going on to great things.

Is Asya on the roster?

Cass needs a haircut. And the roster needs to watch his NXT stuff to know to go for his knees.

<p>Need some help on how to proceed. I have the VERY broad strokes in place, but would like some input.</p><p> </p><p> Running USPW as EVOLVE - Peter Michaels in charge of the re-brand.</p><p> </p><p> Nicky Champion took back the World Title - no chemistry with Steve Frehley, which affected the match.</p><p> </p><p> Rich Money got past Chris Caulfield. He has Marat as a bodyguard, and I'm bringing in Roger Cage as a "protege."</p><p> </p><p> Alicia Strong will turn heel when she comes back to go up against a face J-Ro. Planning a double turn at some point to get Alicia back as a face.</p><p> </p><p> Krusher Karloff was replaced by Russian Patriot (Bulldozer Brandon Smith). After being the reason they lost the titles to The Naturals, Zoe Ammis came out Russian Patriot...Petr Novak joined in on the assault.</p><p> </p><p> I have 2 developmental territories (1 for men, 1 for women). And an alliance with AAA, QAW, PSW, my 2 developmental territories, and 1 more that escapes me. I have poached a few people already.</p><p> </p><p> A final note: I have Greg Gauge. He will be working under a mask (American Rebel)...My plan is to have him in feuds where he looks good but ultimately loses (unless it's against someone on the way out). And as he goes up the card reinvent him with a new gimmick, eventually losing the masks, etc.</p><p> </p><p> With those bullet points, what's something the fans would be interested in?</p>

<p>Clearly said out of character. If that's how he feels (or it's the company line), cool.</p><p> </p><p> As for the second point, a good portion of the audience decides to cheer for the "cool" heels (or just to go against the grain) and boo the faces. So in that sense, what matters is how the fans view them, not the alignments given.</p>

Brought to USPW as Russian Patriot with Zoe Ammis to manage him and Novak. Week leading up to debut? Starts dating Ammis. We'll see how he performs.

No chance this was being said in character?

<p>Started a game with USPW where Allen Packer brings in Peter Michaels to lead the company in a new direction. Thus, he rebrands USPW's TV Show to Monday Nitro (I know, not terribly creative) and USPW becomes EVOLVE.</p><p> </p><p> With it, comes the elimination of the National Title and TV Title - combined into the X Division Title (using the EVOLVE Titles from the Thunderverse). A lot of new talent being brought in to Developmental (one male fed, one female fed). And created a trading alliance with the 2 child companies as well as the 2 women's companies, one in Mexico and PSW (I think). The goal is to have the quarterly shows serve as alliance showcases (with alliance titles on the line). Krusher Karloff is already the first casualty of the new regime - being replaced with "Russian Patriot" (Brandon Smith).</p><p> </p><p> Bringing in some indy darlings, some under masks until their pop gets high enough.</p>

Or AJ improvises and lets go of the crossface that had him in the pinning predicament to begin with. Shoulder was up at 1, but down for the other 2 from what I recall seeing.

Kingster, I wouldn't say that she's immature. But toxic people do exist. Blaming her might be too harsh, not knowing what she's doing to fix the situation. If there is abuse going on (mental, physical, or emotional) hopefully she gets the help she needs.

Maybe it's burn out. Maybe he's not happy in the company. Whatever the case, that's probably the way to do things - ask for your release and be cordial. Same thing with James Storm. Not the right time, he said, but seemingly the door is open.</p>

<p>So is this Raw Talk part of the storylines? Because Sasha just sounds like a bitter [expletive deleted].</p><p> </p><p> I did think Joe/Lesnar was a fun match.</p>

So Braun won the match...and Reigns throws a hissy fit?

<p>Looking to update USPW, especially now that it's becoming a more global brand.</p><p> </p><p> Cryptic advertisements air during the end of 2015, about some big news/changes coming to USPW. </p><p> </p><p> On the last episode of 2015, Allen Packer makes a rare television appearance. He says the time is right for USPW to become the global brand he always envisioned when he purchased it.</p><p> </p><p> To that end, he introduces the new voice of the company...Peter Michaels.</p><p> </p><p> He says Peter is bringing his expertise, and during their earlier meetings had suggested an alliance, making a pitch for how it would be beneficial. After several months of negotiations, World Wide Wrestling Entertainment was born.</p><p> </p><p> (Alliance including CILL, AAA, QAW, two child companies, and possibly one more).</p><p> </p><p> Jillefski is irate - feeling betrayed by having Peter Michaels come in, and more so when these big changes are taking place. </p><p> </p><p> As Michaels makes his way to the announce table, Packer announces that he has found the person who will be in charge of this growth, and names Belle Bryden as the new General Manager.</p><p> </p><p> It is Bryden who makes the biggest announcement when she is handed the microphone by Packer: </p><p> </p><p> There will be a re-branding of USPW as it moves into the future. USPW must EVOLVE. She teases this will have a big impact on the current champions, which will be addressed on the new show, Monday night (Monday Week 1 January).</p><p> </p><p> **The major change with regards to the titles is that they are going from 5 titles to 4 - using the EVOLVE titles - each champ gets the EVOLVE counterpart to their belt, with the exception of Trent Shaffer & Casey Valentine - they will be part of the match to decide the X Division Title). </p><p> </p><p> The main storyline is likely to be the friction between Jillefski and the new regime, the old guard of USPW - The Force, James Justice, Chris Caulfield, etc vs the New Blood coming into the company).</p><p> </p><p> Still in the preliminary stages of planning, thoughts? Suggestions?</p>

I highly doubt Vince believes another race is inferior to his...I do think that Singh has a better sound to it than Sihra for a bad guy. I really think this whole thing is a non-issue. I for one would have been thrilled to have Sami win that match only to lose to Orton. But whatever.

They were in the Cruiserweight Classic and then the opening match of 205Live. Then the reports were that they needed extra work to be "WWE-style." If this is what they do in the meantime, I'm OK with it.

What are you talking about. If you haven't seen what he can do by now (and I haven't) I don't hold out much hope for him. And I'm not "getting my pitchfork" or talking about "boycotts". The only way to effectively make WWE hear your voice is by not giving them your money or by changing the channel. I was about to re-up to the Network after a dismal period and start watching their TV shows again. Now I'm gonna hold off until things seem to have improved. This isn't some smarky "this is BS take down the Network" protest here. I'm not happy with the product and I'm not gonna watch it. It's that simple.<p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Corbin is great and over. If you're comparing him to Jinder Mahal here - genuinely unsure - then you need to ask yourself some serious questions</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I love Corbin. But I doubt that anyone would say he's at AJ's level.</p>

<p>Could we not say the same about Galloway? Sure, he was IC champ, at a time when the IC Title meant less than nothing. Or Heath Slater's sudden rise - and yes, sudden because for all intents and purposes he was a jobber for all these years, getting trotted out to be embarrassed by celebrities and Legends. A loved jobber, but jobber nonetheless.</p><p> </p><p> Jinder getting a shot is like R-Truth getting a title shot against Cena. Who cares? </p><p> </p><p> It's a TV show. The new character they brought in sucks. But I still like the majority of the characters. </p><p> </p><p> I wonder what people will be saying when Corbin holds the WWE Title by the end of this year (over the likes of Nakamura and Styles).</p>

<p>What happened exactly?</p><p> </p><p> **EDIT**</p><p> </p><p> Jinder, huh? That seems...odd. My guess is someone will attack him or whatever.</p>

I normally binge watch Survivor after the season (not watching it live), but my schedule has allowed it this season. The whole thing with Zeke seemed forced, scripted. I won't stop watching, but it made no sense. *The immediate, over-the-top reactions (except for Ozzie). *The quick reversal by Varner. *Probst shaming Varner for outing Zeke...um, Probst, you know the show isn't live and you can either re-shoot Tribal (happens all the time) or edit that out and no one would be the wiser. If Zeke wins, I predict a few things: *Ozzie comes back one more time and is put on a favorable tribe to finally win. *Tai comes back one more time and wins in a future season. *Varner comes back as a "villain" and gets a redemption edit in a few years. Just like when Tyson pulls off the dumbest move in Survivor and votes himself out in HvV (there was no reason whatsoever to change the vote), short of the producers wanting Russell to go deep in the game again. What happens? Boston Rob, who got screwed by the move comes back and was given a favorable path to victory. Tyson comes back after being made a fool of to win his season. And Coach ended up getting a redemption edit after that season. (Jerri too, to a lesser extent from her previous time). I hope I'm wrong about Zeke winning because it just seems like too much.

<p>They won't go full heel because he is moving the most merchandise. Triole H has said that if you boo Roman qnd consider him a heel you are right...and if you cheer Roman and think he is a face you are right. Just a different way to present him.</p><p> </p><p> I like that Charlotte lost clean. It sets up a better story than her regaining the belt.</p>

The campiness of the Bray "mind games" was just too much. I just can't take the guy seriously.
