Adam Ryland Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 To help clean up the board a little, all WWE-related news items should be discussed in this thread. This will help cut down on the amount of very similar threads that pop up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tha Black Phenom Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Thanks. Bit alienating to see all those threads about the state of WWE. Although I hope if we make threads concerning a certain subject in the 'E, we won't be redirected here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Casey Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Over at EWB, there tends to be individual promotion threads while the major news (Shane/Linda quit, major signings/departures or injuries), so I guess that'd be how this'll work.

Johnny Fenoli Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 could we get the WWE and TNA threads stickied? So that if they do happen to fall off the first page, then people wont make new threads... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisL Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Actually...what about individual boards rather then threads? This will make it a bit difficult to find the topics you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tag01 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I don't watch much of the E; what's up with Punk on ECW? Is that the end of his push? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyde Hill Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Did I just read that HHH pedigreed swaggle and they got a face reaction? WTF! Sheamus killing swaggle for uber heel heat just went out the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxFutureLegend112xX Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Partial Source: PWInsider Mark and Jay Briscoe had an informal tryout at last night's WWE Smackdown/ECW tapings in Philadelphia. Both men are under contract to ROH, but were given permission to do the tryout as when WWE extended the invitation. Becky Bayless, who has worked for both ROH and SHIMMER, also had a tryout at last night's Smackdown/ECW tapings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Celt Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Mark Cuban does RAW Dec. 7, 2009: Mark Cuban Instead of humoring the NBA Universe with his infinite antics and making authoritative basketball decisions for one night, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban will spend time delegating responsibility to WWE Superstars when he hosts Raw on Dec. 7 from Dallas. - source: 411mania.com MONKEYPOX WAS RIGHT.

Johnny Fenoli Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I hope Vern Troyer doesn't give Hornswoggle a title shot. oh you know he will.... Hornswoggle vs the new champ, and recently heel turned at Survivor Series... Shawn Michaels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alden Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 You know, with all the dx swaggle stuff and with him hosting after the ppv I would be shocked if either shawn or hunter does not come out as champ and have to face him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisen-verse Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 oh you know he will.... Hornswoggle vs the new champ, and recently heel turned at Survivor Series... Shawn Michaels I'd mark out like crazy if HBK were to come away with the belt.... but... In reality, the only DX member who could walk away with the title is Triple H. Sadly. The again, maybe HBK wins the title... Hunter turns jelous... Attacks Shawn... And we have another HBK/HHH feud. Then again, that being said, I don't see this either as DX pulls in a lot of merch.... Especially this close to Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm, is it possible to build from Survivor Series a Wrestlemania matchup based around the falling out between HHH and HBK? I wonder.... Also, Ted Dibiase is due to be turned soon, considering The Marine 2 comes out before the end of the year ('a few days after Christmas, ****in' morons' is what I've heard from retail friends).

That'd be interesting to see the two face off at Wrestlemania. I know they've taking eachother on billions of times by now... but... that being said, I'd still mark out over it. ha. Also, I must have missed something. Ted Dibiase is going to be in a WWE Movie? Didn't see that coming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaySo Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Source: PWTorch Former WWE champion "The Rock" Dwayne Johnson says he's working with WWE on creating a special TV episode that would be beyond just guest-hosting an episode of Raw. Johnson was vague on the details during a radio appearance this morning, but hinted he'll be working with WWE on a significant project. "I love that world and being able to entertain, especially if I could go back whether it's on Smackdown and do a promo or guest-host or we could create this cool show, whatever that may be," Johnson said on the Jack Diamond Morning Show in Washington, D.C. "Especially now, I'm at the point where I can go back and give back to the fans and help out the guys in any way I can." Johnson said he currently has a "great relationship" with Vince McMahon and WWE to where he's working closely with WWE on creating apparently a special episode of WWE TV. "Right now we're trying to put together - there is always something cool and interesting for me to do. I would like to do something more than just host the show," Johnson said. "I'm in the process of creating something really cool for the fans - something very special and unique. It will be something like one big entertaining show." I thought he wasn't suppose to go near that (wrestling). lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I thought he wasn't suppose to go near that (wrestling). lol He wasn't... back when he was trying to create the image of himself being a serious actor. Apparently he feels he's accomplished that, so he feels safe to do a little wrasslin' for fun. Which is awesome news in my book. His promo he did on the 10th Anniversary of Smackdown was great. Wrestling would be lucky to have him back, even for a little while. P.S. Just finished watching ECW. Still struggling to get used to the new ring announcer. I'm terrified she's going to mess up and embarrass herself every second... Really takes away from my glee at Zack Ryder's entrance music. P.P.S Zack Ryder promo to kick off the show??? Woo Woo Woo. You know it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfRoMaN36 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 FINALLY.... The Rock HAS COME BACK.... Home. I would mark out for anything this guys does at this point. You can count me in for the RAW he appears in and if my magic 8-ball is correct, I would totally mark over a Rock/Cena match at Mania.

Remianen Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Also, I must have missed something. Ted Dibiase is going to be in a WWE Movie? Didn't see that coming... It's been in the can for almost a year now. Orton was supposed to do it but that was around the time he was out with the collarbone injury that got Kennedy fired. It's the sequel to Cena's first movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Ted Dibiase is due to be turned soon, considering The Marine 2 comes out before the end of the year ('a few days after Christmas, ****in' morons' is what I've heard from retail friends). Maybe they are banking on the post-christmas rush and hoping that kids use up their gift cards on it. There are quite a few releases going that route btw. Jennifer's Body, Moon, and 9. In fact usually, the week after christmas has some unconventional dvd, and cd releases to try and capitalize on this. I'm not sure that is the case this year though. Anyway, I know last season the post-christmas rush really helped out the holliday retail figures and the purchase of gift cards saw a significant increase. Could be they were hoping the trend would continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I know last season the post-christmas rush really helped out the holliday retail figures and the purchase of gift cards saw a significant increase. Could be they were hoping the trend would continue. Yeah but this holiday season is expected to be soft. There aren't nearly as many 'must have' items (ala Beanie Babies, Tickle Me Elmo, Sing & Snore Ernie, new consoles, etc) this year. So (some) retailers are kinda pissed about people banking on post-Christmas activity when that's traditionally the time they cut prices to the quick to get (leftover) stuff out the door. If they released during the official holiday shopping season, the stores could run promotions to help move units. Post-Christmas, aint nobody tryin' to hear anything but '75% off' or BOGO in this economy. At least that's the perspective of some larger retailers. "Spokesmen are like politicians. It's their job to bend the truth and outright lie because the truth is ugly as my mother-in-law" (direct quote from the manager of a Best Buy).
