RIPPA Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Per Meltzer (and unsurprisingly really) - the WWE is trademarking all the old names from WCW, WCCW, etc... not really to use them but to keep other people from doing so since they are pissed that MLW trademarked War Games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(October has a lot of alliterative names and they're all the same. How many promotions have shows called Halloween Hell?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Wasn't NXT called "War Games" and didn't they have a Takeover coming up called "War Games"? They are changing the name now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Quote Charly Caruso has joined ESPN and will now be working with them and WWE. While using her real name (Charly Arnolt), Caruso started in her on-air role with ESPN today. In a post on Instagram, Caruso confirmed that she's now an ESPN employee. She noted that she isn't leaving WWE and wrote that WWE is still her home. "Charly Arnolt...ESPN. WHAAAAAT!!! Been waiting my whole life to say those 4 letters! So yep, here I am -- officially an ESPN employee! (No, I am NOT leaving WWE! That’s still my home and I am so happy there!)," Caruso wrote. "I'll be doing a few things at ESPN from time to time for now, including SportsCenter updates and hosting the SportsCenter on Snapchat show. I’m still in disbelief. WWE + ESPN = KILLER COMBO! I am so incredible appreciative and fortunate for both of these wonderful opportunities! Check me out all day today and tomorrow doing SC updates!" Caruso also worked in sports broadcasting before coming to WWE in 2016. She's currently an interviewer on Raw, hosts NXT TakeOver pre-show panels, and co-hosts This Week in WWE with Scott Stanford. https://www.f4wonline.com/wwe-news/charly-caruso-joins-espn-not-leaving-wwe-267131?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 So, here's a weird question for thought: If you were going to put together a playlist of the best matches including someone who was clearly about to leave the territory or company and would be putting over their opponent on their way out, what would that playlist include? And is the Jeff Jarrett/Chyna Good Housekeeping Match a) a good match in general and b) good enough to make your playlist? I haven't seen it in years, but I thought the last time that I saw it that it was a fantastic match in the context of the feud and the characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
