That is for everyone under 205 right? Where they wrestle a WWE style match for smaller guys instead of Lucha style, right? Balor is there right? Oh wait, he is 206 lbs and over on the main roster. -

I have no interest in any product right now. It is hard to get invested in something like NXT when you know that they will be mid-card wrestlers at best on either Raw or Smackdown. -

Money and power. You have to understand that charities and foundations are the most abused structures. Then you look at the tax returns and trace their income back to the charities and foundations each politician owns. Then you see the dark money passed around behind the scenes. Then you understand that influence is bought and sold behind the scenes and it is too profitable for each politician to leave. -
OCTOBER 2018 WRESTLING DISCUSSION

House shows are just there to fill contractual obligations. Unless they go back and rewrite every single contract, nothing will change regarding house shows and their importance. -
Well Dana has never been about quality. He is a lot like Vince in that entertainment value supersedes ability. See the amount of fines and suspensions the UFC has dished out versus the AC's and USADA.
-
There was also a mention regarding footage and Conor's purse so he is not off the hook here at all. How long until Dana sends a tweet or posts a video where he looks like a fan and everyone's buddy.

Giving Brock the title would make no sense for the reason you listed which is why they will hotshot the belt back onto Brock. -

They are doing the slow build with Braun over years so that when it comes *something something* rather than hot shot it onto him for cheap pops and media attention *cough* Rousey *cough* -

On a tangentially related note, Germany has suspended arms sales and is urging other European allies to do the same. -

It will be hard to stop the show once the gear leaves the US. -
2018 NWA THREAD (the Billy Corgan one)
evilwaldo replied to RIPPA's topic in FEDS JUST TRYING TO MAKE A BUCK
Chances are the WWE throws a truckload of cash at him to be a mid-card wrestler which is why Billy moved him off the belt. They should have kept it on Cody until they found another top indy guy. Call Pentagon in and put the belt on him. There is no real 'best' option out there but if you are looking to build the brand into something important, then name recognition is the most important thing right now. You need someone to draw attention to the belt and give people a reason to care about the product. What about John Morrison? -

Two different styles that conflict with one another. One style tells everyone that they should interact with the crowd, build a following, and get over. The other style tells you that you cannot get over unless explicitly told to get over by everyone at the top. -
2018 NWA THREAD (the Billy Corgan one)

I think it is a step back for a title that needs name recognition if Billy wants to build the NWA back into prominence. You need name value at this point for attention. -

OCTOBER 2018 WRESTLING PHOTOS
evilwaldo replied to The Natural's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
Wrestlers get typecast into certain roles. Chelsea acting all drunk or crazy while walking to the ring should see the natural follow up inside the ring of her wrestling drunk, crazy, or sloppy to maintain character. A wrestler acting drunk or crazy outside of the ring but suddenly sobering up just throws all of the character development out the window. She is too good for the PC and NXT but they need to teach her AxB's comment regarding WWE style. They could roll with the drunk bride and have a huge moneymaker all the way into the main roster culminating with her and Zack Ryder coming together but that would require them to write and commit to a long-term storyline spanning years so we should just chuck that out the window right now. -

Why is Chelsea considered a recruit when she has more talent than most of the women's roster? -

They understand very little outside of their own style and social media metrics, so this is no surprise. As compared to 205 Live now? -

Welcome to the world we live in. Fear mongering rules. In reality, we process lower amounts of Saudi crude oil than you expect because it is too sour for most of our refineries. Our refineries are made to process crude from Texas, Canada, and Mexico where the crude oil is sweet. Saudi and most MIddle Eastern crude requires extra handling to convert into gasoline and other products. Sour crude gets a lower price on the world market because it requires extra handling. The WTI (West Texas Intermediate) price is for sweet crude oil. The words sweet and sour are oil terminology. Sweet crude is easy to process and pours close to water. Sour crude is thick and pours like molasses. The reason why the Canadian pipeline was so important is that Canadian crude is easy to process and our refineries are setup to handle this type of crude oil. Here is an od article: https://www.npr.org/2012/04/11/150444802/where-does-america-get-oil-you-may-be-surprised -

From one of the more right leaning sites, the Washington Examiner Saudis claim 'rogue killers' got Jamal Khashoggi; they might as well say a dog ate him https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/saudis-claim-rogue-killers-got-jamal-khashoggi-they-might-as-well-say-a-dog-ate-him -

How do you think Vince pays for the XFL? -

It will have more play overseas than here. We have an election in a few weeks and a $100 billion dollar arms deal to Saudi Arabia to push through. There are enough distractions to keep everyone occupied in the US. -

They are pot committed. I would safely say that all of the equipment has been moved over already and is in the process of being setup. The cynic in me says they just pay a few extra millions to some PR firms to mitigate any damage. Suppress stories in the media and online. Damage control stuff because this is the way the world works. Most of all, keep Linda's name out of the press and as far away from this as possible.
