Sure, it's an interesting useless fact when you know who came up with something, but I just want an entertaining program. People rarely know anything beyond Ryan Ward = good, Road Dogg = bad. 2
clintthecrippler Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Ric Flair, the man who cribbed the "Nature Boy" gimmick from Buddy Rogers and constantly used a Disney trademarked amusement ride name in his promos, wants WWE to pay him over his usage of what was already a colloquial phrase/taunt in everyday life? 2
Burgundy LaRue Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 3 hours ago, joseph2112 said: I feel very strongly that Roman will be on SD. Follow the money on that one. Roman was in the center of the mini billboard FOX Sports had for their Fall upfront panel. They've hung a poster of him alongside others in their studio. Roman will be on SDL. His CFB/NFL background is enough to make that happen. The question is whether USA tries to convince WWE into keeping him as a free agent.

Can we take Graves off one of the shows then?

Casey Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Pretty sure Orton is only there because Jeff Hardy is a fuck up so right now Orton is the default youngest Intercontinental champion in history.
odessasteps Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Not surprisingly, I would have gone old school with one of them, maybe valentine or Santana. Steamboat May have the most famous IC title match, but he was such a rife champ, relatively speaking.
Eivion Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 I missed the first third, but its was well worth a listen.

Gorman Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 7 hours ago, RIPPA said: Oh Good Lord.... Since Becky should technically still be on the Smackdown roster, she needs to troll Flair by coming out during Charlotte's matches to various "Man" songs: "I'm the Man" by Anthrax "Here Comes Your Man" by The Pixies "Simple Man" - Lynerd Skynerd "Be a Man" - Randy Savage "He's A Real Man's Man" - Regal theme, etc. Of course, WWE would have to pay to license some of those songs, and that money could have gone to pay Ric Flair.
Raziel Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 I'm amused the guy that ripped off the gimmick of the FIRST WWE CHAMPION EVER wholesale is bitching at the WWE about copyright. 1
MoeCristyV.1.6 Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 He ripped off Hulk Hogan? Cue the phrase!

RIPPA Posted September 5, 2019 Author Posted September 5, 2019 In the new WON that just came out - Meltzer noted that since Renee Young will be hosting that panel show on FS1, there is a decent chance she will end up on SDL side (FOX in generally is really high on her) 2

Ryan Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 Maybe they'll hire her away and she can replace Joe Buck in all sports. 3 3 1

odessasteps Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 I did wonder, at this point, if working for Vince was better or worse than working for Rogers Sportsnet, given their purge of talent.
Dewar Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 She had no room for advancement at Sportsnet. They had her hosting the WWE stuff, and that's it. It was definitely a better career move for her to go work for Vince, and to top it off, she met the love of her life.
