Raziel Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Nothing screams alternative like drawing massive parallels to a promotion Vince crushed under his boot, resurrected, crushed again, then resurrected AGAIN so he could crush it... AGAIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well looking down the list outside of that. Battlebowl, and Bunkhouse Stampede look to be back for better or worse. I’m not too sure about these being a single night PPV. They’d make for a fun TV special though. Edited May 22, 2019 by LoneWolf&Subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AverageKong Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I've read that Ruby is going to need/have surgery on the other shoulder as well so there apparently isn't a return date anytime soon. But where the hell have Sarah and Liv been since they split? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peck Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 It's fair to mention WWE's side of the Ashley Massaro sexual assault claim: https://www.f4wonline.com/wwe-news/wwe-releases-statement-ashley-massaro-sexual-assault-claim-284421 Spoiler "WWE is saddened by the death of Ashley Massaro, and we reiterate our condolences to her family. However, we regret that her attorney Konstantine Kyros, who filed multiple cases against WWE, lost all of them, and was sanctioned multiple times by the Court for repeated misconduct and false allegations, is using Ashley’s death to further his malicious campaign against WWE by releasing an affidavit that she submitted to the Court and later apologized to WWE for being involved with, so we wish to make certain things crystal clear. At no time was Vince McMahon or the management of WWE ever informed by Ashley Massaro or anybody else that she had been sexually assaulted, drugged, raped or sodomized by a military doctor with a nurse standing guard while on a goodwill tour in 2007 to U.S. military bases in Kuwait. In fact, if she ever articulated such a claim to WWE, we would have reported it immediately to the Base Commander. At no time was there ever a meeting with Vince McMahon, Kevin Dunn, John Laurinaitis or other company executives in which she told them of such a claim and was instructed to keep it quiet."

Infinit Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Honestly, the writing for the 24/7 is already so garbage. WWE loves booking their talent as idiots. And it's so damn insulting to the viewers. As usual lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 What is motivation to be 24/7 champ, if I may ask? The perk seems to be having the lower card guys stalk you online and in person. I'm probably putting too much thought into it, I should really just relax. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be more willing to believe them (and yes that Kryos guy is so sleazy I find anything he's involved in to have no credibility whatsoever) if they hadn't even waited until her corpse was no longer warm to launch a spin/PR campaign in the media (ie: that email to the Post).

BEN! Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Mark for the belt is the only conceivable motivation for wanting the 24/7 Championship. They really needed to attach some kind of financial incentive to it. They also should've introduced it in catering since that's where all the challengers usually are. They're just going to forget about it in a couple of weeks like they do everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m here thinking up things like wrestler A kills himself to avoid getting pinned, and losing the title, so wrestler B kills himself to follow wrestler A into the afterlife. It’ll be like the wrestling version of flatliners. But the best they can come up with is a dated man in drag bit that they’ve always keep going back to.

Not to defend WWE, but they had to say something. Everyone was questioning WWE about it. Staying silent winds up looking even worse. They were put into a position where they had to defend themselves.

NikoBaltimore Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) It hit me this morning that 20 years ago Owen Hart died. Holy fuck has time flown as all that feels like yesterday. It's a very sad thing to think about and given the shoddy cable work was something that shouldn't have happened. I don't know how much longer he would have cared to wrestle given he was thinking to retire in a few years. But if he felt like coming out of retirement at some point down the line there were a ton of great matches he could have been in.

clintthecrippler Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I wouldn't be surprised that if he hung around long enough for the brand extension era that Owen would have gotten a token "lifetime achievment" title reign like some others did. Or if he retires from full-time 2000-01 anyway, he still pops back for one-off appearances in ROH like Lance Storm and oddball "Produce" shows in Japan, and maybe one last cagey veteran WWE run like Finlay did or as part of Bret's return. And you know damn well in 2019, Janela would be doing everything he can to get a free agent Owen Hart to come to Spring Break. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olythegreat89 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Just imagine in less then a year the WWF had Jericho, Angle, Benoit, Malenko, Guerrero, etc. Owen would've actually been motivated to compete at a high level. You can kinda tell during his last year he was kinda phoning it in, but even at that he was still 90% better then roster. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) I can't wait to hear their revisionist history on that one. Their plan was flawless: Don't sign any actual stars outside of DDP Debut it in front of a traditionally non-WCW crowd Make Bagwell a main eventer Liberal sprinkling of McMahons because everyone knows that traditional, longtime Crockett/NWA/WCW fans really want that Profit Edited May 23, 2019 by Technico Support 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s actually about the “Big Bang” show from Bischoff, and crew that never got off the ground. But yeah this is counter programming/fuck you.
