Ace Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 22 hours ago, DTTW said: Math. 8.25×40×52= 17,160 plus benefits. And google says they make 9+ an hour, not 8.25. How is that huge money, especially if a retail job pays better and offers more benefits? Yeah it's more than a hot dog and a coke to wrestle, but 17k is shit pay and it's rather insulting compared to what they would get being on any SAG show. #1 - SAG doesn't exist in the UK. They have a different guild. #2 - Pro wrestling isn't considered under SAG. If they were, Mick Foley would have medical insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEN! Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I don't understand why they even think they need a UK Championship. A UK tournament, fine, but it's not like there's been any interest in the new Cruiserweight Championship coming out of the CWC nor was there any reason to really think there would've been. They must legit have like 200 people under contract now. At least when Vince McMahon was raiding the territories in the eighties he was doing it specifically so he could run opposition in those territories with recognizable faces. Papa Hunter so far just seems like a combination of Heyman's hucksterism and Bischoff's love of spending other people's money. Spending over $2 million to build a gym that he pays people to use. Then sinking even more money into payroll. Like "Goddamn, pal, who the fuck is Mike Quacknduck and why did you buy a Lanced Dorito?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinit Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Isn't the UK tournament supposed to lead into a 205live-esque weekly show from the UK on the Network? It could also be a great spot for stale main roster acts to revamp and for NXT rookies to get some ring time. There's so much potential in opening up a UK office for the WWE.

True, but I'm not sure it makes him any less endearing as a face. Although that's setting the bar really low.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like something a WWE babyface would do. That was actually a pretty good cover by Roman too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 The UK championship is supposedly going to be defended at other UK indies and this is supposed to lead into another new show for the network. It's not really about the U.S. fan, I get it we are Americans and think we are the center of everything at all times but sorry to say for this, that isn't the case.

RIPPA Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Just for the record - John Cena and Roman Reigns have started attacking each other on Twitter so it is possible the WWE has finally decided on its direction (Since the Cena/Reigns Mania match rumor had started bubbling up recently) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how they'd get to making that happen, but maybe Cena is marking his territory to ensure being the one to finally 'bury' the Dead Man?

At least once after they do each other's finishers, which will be after some Blue Thunder Bomb variant that gets a kickout at 2 4/5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
