As far as I can tell WON/Figure 4, PWI and Torch are the Big 3 in terms of places you can get news or pay for INSIDER~! stuff.

 

Am I forgetting anything major?

Hyped that we can finally talk about The Torch, brother.

 

Also does any find that there's too much MMA in the Observer?

Speaking of the Torch - I used them last night to look at the TNA Lockdown results. (And I only use the Torch on my IPad because it is easier to block the zillion pop-ups)

Did Dave stick the PPV results behind the pay window or did he not even bother covering it?

They were there last night.

 

I used to subscribe to the Observer, but eventually cancelled because of the MMA coverage. How much coverage does the Torch give MMA these days?

The link did not show up on the ipad app but it was there if you went to the web site.

Yeah - last night I was checking via my iPad and didn't see it.

 

But when I used the WON app this morning (and again - why I have that app is beyond me) I saw the link

 

LETHAL LOCKDOWN:  MVP & WOLVES & WILLOW (Jeff Hardy under a mask) vs. BRO MANS & BOBBY ROODE & AUSTIN ARIES

The finish saw Dixie's surprise from New York give Bobby Roode a rock bottom and MVP pinned Roode with a Yakuza kick.  Entrances were MVP vs. Aries first, then Robbie E, Eddie Edwards, Jessie Godderz, Davey Richards, Bobby Roode and finally Willow.  Willow came off the top of the cage onto everyone.  Then Dixie announced Bully Ray was her secret weapon as ref.  Bully wasn't a heel ref.  A lot of weapon usage such as garbage can lid.  

Look, this is TNA and everything....  but this recap, none of this makes any sense.  #thanksDave

I was surprised at the lateness of the radio show this morning. It was not there when i left for work at around 0600 but was there at 0630.

And just one show after they discussed recording shows at 3:00 in the morning.

Why are Dirt Sheets talking about Summerslam plans at this point? When is the last time the WWE had a real idea of what they were doing for a major PPV five months in advance that was not WrestleMania? Let's get through Mania and then we can start talking about Summer angles.

I don't know, they do have a pretty easy set up for SummerSlam with the way the build to Mania has gone. Wouldn't require much thought on their part to plan vaguely.

So, uh, what does everyone think of THE ALL NEW FIGURE FOUR WEEKLY after a month?

IMO the writing is terrible, why?

WWE using quotes from that Bill Simmons piece on Grantland must have been like a blade through young Bix's heart.

So is Yokozuna still joining the Hart Foundation?

Unsure if trolling.

Actually I was laughing because they mentioned Simmons and ignored Shoemaker.

Always trolling young Bixenspan

Hey, it's coverage for the Network in a major media outlet, of course the WWE pimped it.

 

Why would they give a fuck if Commerce Oklahoma is in France in Shoemaker's eyes?

In the same way that TNA tries to promote themselves as wrestling compared to WWE's entertainment we need a rival hardcore group to start promoting specifically to two year olds. SABU vs. Necro in a binky of blood match will sell tickets.

Toddlers make terrible roulette or craps players anyway

 

By the way Bryan obsession with the Andre the Giant battle royal trophy is getting way too much

House of Hardcore has now become Anticular's favorate promotion.

I guess the "7 ft andre statue" will be the next bit Bryan runs into the ground.

Only if it's in a gold plated boat

Toddlers are what Todd Martin fans are called.

 

Financial blog Betaville was the first source to report on the story:

 

“Good sources tell me cable group AMC Networks has been sniffing around World Wrestling Entertainment Inc, the US-listed company behind those ridiculous wrestling programmes, such as WWF, Raw and Smackdown.

 

AMC Networks has held at least one exploratory conversation with WWE – which saw its shares rise by about 30pc during last week – about some kind M&A transaction in recent months, according to “people familiar with the matter”. However, the talks are understood to have not gone anywhere.

 

Another source said bankers from UBS have been advising AMC Networks, owner of Sundance TV, on a potential deal and financing options.

This well-placed source said any transaction may value WWE at between $2.6 and $2.8bn.”

 

Sescoops

 

I don't know how much bullshit this is or not, figured it belonged here.
