Remember that time ADR made the comment about all the "marks" talking about him all the time? Sure Alberto, we're the marks. You keep telling yourself that, sport. And RE: MSG. I know WWE would never present their product in such a way, but for a house show like this I think a fixed hard cam streaming the show with no announcers would be perfectly acceptable to most of the network subscribers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The annual December 26th show should be on the network even if it's live to tape. Every MSG show should be on MSG Network just like the Rangers and Knicks are. Every fourth Monday with Pedro, Bruno or Backlund. Wrestlers in front of fans for the belt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rent at MSG has gone up since JR was anywhere near a decision making position in WWE, so I would have to imagine that there is no way they could turn a profit there now.

PetrolCB Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I am honestly more surprised at the lack of "perro" in Alberto's rant. That's like, Hogan not saying "brother". 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Do they always record house shows? Clearly there is a cameraman at ringside and if there was one hard cam too they may plan on releasing this match (or at least showing highlights from it on SD).

RIPPA Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 Given Alberto's history of showing up somewhere he says he is going to be - I would slow my roll on the whole genius talk. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web Conn Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Another live event which should be a Network special is the July 29th show in Detroit at the Joe Louis Arena the final wrestling show to take place at the Joe Louis Arena before they demolish it because we don't value history and tradition in this country but only care about being newer and more cutting edge then the next person. But back to the lecture at hand, the Detroit show is slated to have Mahak vs Lesnar for the WWE Championship and Owens vs AJ vs Zane for the US Championship. I'd say put the fucker on the Network and call the show Farewell to the Joe Louis Arena or something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 the Joe Louis Arena show has Corbin vs Lesnar for the Universal title and Mahal vs Orton for the Heavyweight title. John Cena is there, too. It's actually called "Farewell to The Joe". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meltzer's story on his departure from ROH several years ago reads basically the same, so it's not too far-fetched. Anythkng new on Owens? Seems weird to be the belt at a house show and seemingly be taken off PPV, so I'm kinda thinking he is injured or in the doghouse somehow. He blacked out the pics in his Twitter profile.
