Outside of that one movie with the child soldiers of Africa I think you're right

What stinks about this YouTube controversy, and this was happening before the controversy, is that a lot of these promotions that were doing tv shows and posting them on YouTube are going the paid streaming route, whether its teaming up with like a Highspots or a Powerbomb, it doing their own thing. I'm a guy with very limited funds so I won't be watching them there. I pay enough in TV, Netflix, WWE Network and Amazon as it is, at some point my broke ass gotta feed the family too

Excellent. I'm at the theater waiting for my show to start so I'm real excited.

yeah they're still shooting, they were casting extras for a shoot that was supposed to happen last night

You called it!

I've been binge watching Game Sack videos on YouTube and been getting a Loy of spots of Fate of the Furious before every episode and one of them has the Rock pushing away a damn torpedo. I could not stop laughing at that one. I know they've always been ridiculous but man this next one is going to be fun. I can't wait to see this one next week.

wait there's Zak Attack but no California Dreams???

I like both King figures. I know the Lawler one is supposed to be out, is Booker out yet?

I like this, but I've been getting easy too many black shirts lately so I'm probably going to pass on this one

This is why I love the theater I go to, they renovated all the theaters so that there's recliner chairs and so much space between the rows, so that there's no way of kicking the seat in front of you.

I'm cautiously optimistic on it. I do like how they're portraying Aquaman. The bit near the end of the trailer with him riding the Batmobile makes me think he'll be a more adult version of his Brave and the Bold version. I would love it if that were the case

It seriously is a great figure, unlike the Bucks one above it. I was planning on only getting the good Horsewomen figures (I only have Bayley right now) but I'd definitely get the Nia one

I'm surprised you have X7 main at 13. To me, it was one of the few times it felt epic with the setting and actually delivered. And while the ending wasnt as clean as I would've liked, it made sense in the story they were telling to me.

I'm sure there are decent promoters out there, a lot just don't pay a lot. I heard of one who didn't pay at all, they just got tv time and exposure that way. For a lot of guys I talked to, they didn't mind it because it led to them getting paid bookings later on.

Thanks. Thats what it was, i couldnt remember the wrestler that was being referenced. Though i didn't know about the students getting paid $30 deal. And people are outraged by that? Sounds normal in the world of independent wrestling to me.

I'm browsing wrestling twitter and some people are alluding to some shady business practices that Chikara has done but can't find any details, anyone have an idea?

I agree with Thibs and I heard something similar on a podcast I listen to, like no other person was qualified? We have to have a retread? To put a football analogy to it there's no hot coordinator you could give a shot to? A lot of what Corgan was doing may have been misses but at least he was doing things different, listening to other ideas, etc.

And with more tv options becoming available, ie Netflix, Amazon, Hulu original content, etc, ratings will continue to not look as good as it did compared to the Attitude era, which is why I believe the WWE trouts out those other numbers, trending, YouTube views and all that as positives because fans are using other methods as well as tv to consume their WWE wants

I'm not able to link but a video uploaded today explained due to Seth's injury it hasn't been filmed yet, so yeah I'm betting we'll see it at Mania since that's probably when both rosters will be together again.

interesting, on their tv this week they're hinting that it may be the last match there for both men, so it's hard to make a prediction.

Great hype video and I hope to see it on their TV soon, but man does Chase Owens' Bullet Club gear looks corny in that still shot.

Good looking out. I got the new Nerds Bayley shirt at 40 off. Looks like the sale tomorrow.

So it sounds like Abdullah's House of Ribs and Chinese Food is the best of the wrestling restaurants? That had good food, many times when I went Abby was out greeting guests and whatnot and it was a good experience

If that's the case then It's a good response but I think was overshadowed by the Rumble itself and had a lot of Super Cena not doing enough selling, a great match nontheless. I bet Rippa is right though, Vince probably does think Shane and AJ can deliver, probably om Shane taking unreal bumps like the table spot or the top rope Dragon Suplex spot that was in the Okada/Omega match

I remember the talk last week on the rumoured Mania matches and then thought back to the reaction of Okada/Omega and hearing the word that the WWE wants a match with a reaction like that, do they really think they'll get that with the rumoured matches?
