APRIL 2015 WRESTLING DISCUSSION


RIPPA

Well Dana White just put the kibosh on Ronda doing a match.

 

"She's a 'one and done.' One and done."

Asked if he would ever allow Rousey to participate in a match in the future, White simply replied, "Nope."

 

Good I was dreading having so much of Mania's build be around HHH and Steph(though that will probably still end up happening). I guess Big Steph will have to settle for squashing Charlotte, Sasha, and Bayley in a 4 way match/

Nope, at best I thought she might be in the corner for Rock/HHH.

That might be the getaround.

OR this is Dana White doing a passive-aggressive shakedown for Vince to give him a cut for using one of his biggest stars. And rightfully so, btw, if that's the case.

Because he knows full well in Vince's world, everything is negotiable.

Yeah I can't imagine Dana wouldn't let Ronda do something at WM 32 in front of 110,000 people unless he was going to get a nice piece of the action for UFC. That said I really don't want to see Stephanie vs. Ronda. Paige vs. Ronda could be a fun match. Oh who am I kidding, if it isn't Stephanie vs. Ronda it would be Nikki vs. Ronda. Though Shooter Bella training videos would be tremendous to watch.

Have to say good on Eva or anyone trying to improve in the ring. Hate it when people just stay at one job going from week to week barely hanging on, if you're going to be there at least put some effort in. And she is, so good for her, and for Kendrick.

Even if it's just a match where HHH and Rock are avatars and it culminates in a post match segment (although there hasn't been a good "x gets 5 minutes with y if the babyface wins" stip in ages) where Ronda puts the beats on Steph, giving her the ultimate comeuppance that hasn't happened in almost 3 years, that's enough. They don't need to work a full match and it would probably be better if they didn't.

But like I said, I suspect Dana is playing a bit of hardball, because he knows he has something WWE wants.

You know he isnt going to Ring Of Honor they arent opening the purse strings. So I'm curious if it isn't the WWE where then he is going. Japans the only place I can see that would pay him what he wants. Unless Jarrett has backers with deep pockets.

Toby Keith could have a wrestling promotion in every state if he wants, don't forget about the money he makes from the restaurants and who knows what else he does besides sing.  But people don't get crazy rich wasting money on hopeless projects so I'd have to assume he isn't throwing too much money at a wrestling promotion.

He's richer than I thought. Wow, I forgot about his restaurant venture. 

 

It is possible that Keith could fund a wrestling company, but I would hope that he would realize that Jarrett is a bad investment. The only reason TNA is still around is because Dixie Carter is so mind-numbingly stupid that she can't figure out how bad of an investment TNA has been. If Keith bankrolls GFW then he'll have to realize that he's not likely to ever see a return on the investment.

I went to the Mick Foley "cheap pops" WWE Network special taping tonight at Full Sail. I think they said it should air next week. I've never been to a standup show before so I didn't know what to expect. It was good actually but it felt really short. Nothing really new was mentioned but all his stories flowed into the main topic and he was actually funny.  JR opened for Mick and he wasn't too bad. Lots of scatological and crude humor which surprised me. He did bring up his "the territory system being dead is bad" talking point which was funny. Also hearing him talk about Leroy Mcguirk and the McGuire twins  for a crowd of 20-30 year old is something else. For a show that went about a hour between the two of them and was worth $25, not sure if t was worth it but it was entertaining.

 

Oh man don't tell me that Ross is still doing the "wiping the body of the McGuire Twins" and "Leroy Mcguirk wanting to kill Ted Dibase" stories at his shows.  I heard that JR was going to do a show in DC area but if he is still doing stories from 2013 than yeah I will pass.
