The Wrestling Thread is not your decision you stupid Americans - - - Part 197

[Slushy]

I have to post something that's been eating away at me since Houe of Hardcore 7. It was my 1st IPPV. It was my most successful showing of my brand of what I feel professional wrestling is all about. I couldn't have been happier with how the show came across. Most IPPVS have delays or lost feeds or audio problems. No negative feedback.

A fan told me about an illegal streaming server show MY IPPV. I actually contacted the site they said they are a Third party hosting site it is not illegal in their country China so go after the the Daily Motion YouTube and other sites that are showing it & to go ***** off. Well that put me on a warpath. I know that some countries have no laws with regards to the internet. So if you live in those countries you have immunity from my rage. Anyway I kept on monitoring how many views of my show & it just got me madder & sadder everyday. So I took action . Hired a firm that goes after these people & here is the info. 1.I can do nothing to the actual people who onw the site. However I was able to get the site shut down.

Here is the bigger news those scumbags give up the people that ordered them. Email addresses & other info. They also sell that info. To other spam sites. The revenge news for me was most people would get a virus or expose their computer. Remember no laws so when that happens or they take your info you are *****ED. The end of the day it was 66thousand illegal downloads if you do the math 66,000 X$15 equals $990,000.

That changes my life. That changes the landscape of the wrestling buisness. I have a huge long range plan for wrestlers & wrestling fans. With that money it happens and that was just on 1 torrent site. I understand economicallyat times its hard to come up w/ $15. One time I wanted to watch the Royal Rumble my dad said I ain't paying I got 4 of my friends they all kicked in $10 and we had a great time. For the people that support me.I love you so much. For the people that watched my show illegally thanks for the interest I'm honored that 66thousand of you did. I give you a pass.

I have hired a company to go after these people & sites & know they give you up. This company works for a cut so they are ruthless & send your info to other companies if they want to go after you on other movies or PPV events you may have illegally viewed. When you watch a movie or DVD plays & they have those piracy isn't a victimless crime advertisements and you think of those BIG companies like WWE UFC SONY Universal DONT CARE. Well I'm a wrestling fan I have always considered us family so here is a picture of victims who suffer for it. THanks for the support I love you guys. Looking forward to a great show on Saturday. Please share this & spread the word.

Oh, sh**! They're all fu**ed now!

I barely comprehended what he was saying.

 

[Slushy]

He's going after illegal streamers because he lost out on one million dollars.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Matt Bloom may have failed as Tensai/Sweet T, but NXT is where he will succeed.

I can even see him being positioned to take over one of the color commentator roles on one of the main programs soon. I figure either Lawler or JBL are on the verge of leaving at any given moment, Lawler because of his age and JBL because of the breadth of his other pursuits (though his wife's hedge fund isn't doing too well, they might need that WWE paycheque ). Unlike Booker T, you can understand what Albert is saying at all times, though he needs to be more aggressive in his speech, like Jesse Ventura.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Good for Tommy Dreamer.

People always act like I'm weird for not illegally streaming movies and actually paying to go to the theater or rent from Redbox.

 

[runawayboulder]

I doubt Bloom is going to have time to do commentary on main shows when he's running the training center.

Booker and JBL need to go for sure. Booker is not good at all on commentary and JBL is the next biggest cancer behind DeMott in the company. Now that DeMott is gone, JBL's ass needs to go next.

 

[Tech]

What Triple H did to Booker T was low though. How much more disrespect can you hand down?

Booker T should have said "I did not just hear that."

Don't forget Lawler.

 

[Warhammer]

Wow, I just caught up with the whole DeMott and Wichlinkski stuff on Reddit. That is some crazy s***. Then I read the stuff that Ziggler's brother posted on his Reddit AMA months ago.

hi.
i take this very seriously, and i would not invent stories to harm anyone's reputation willy-nilly. wwe is a strange company where certain people get away with things that would land them in court and jail anywhere else on earth. here is my vague answer that will probably now be misquoted, misspelled, taken out of context, and make me look like a dick:
my female friends who were being mistreated on a daily basis begged me to say something because i was now was in a position to do so.
once i did, they were very happy and said thank you.
then triple h announced to the current locker room that i was a bitter liar who was making up stories. and the girls' jobs and reputations were threatened. and so my friends begged me to take it down. so i took it down.

Vinny Mac and Haitch have disappointed me to a new low with this if it's true. And if this Jane Geddes stuff is true as well and not a coincidence of timing, then wow...

 

[runawayboulder]

I blame Triple H more than I blame Vince. Vince is in his own bubble salivating over his Roman Reigns brawling buddy.

Developmental and the launch of NXT is Triple H's pride and joy. He talked on Austin's podcast about how he has a direct feed into his office so he could stay on top of how people are progressing. Does he watch it 24/7? Doubtful. Could he hear the kinds of vile crap DeMott was probably spouting at younger talent? Maybe not if he kept it on mute and was only interested in seeing them execute moves.

Triple H enjoys taking all the credit for a successful NXT PPV, so he has to take the hit here as well. He needs to do a better job of keeping his ear to the ground and making himself more accessible to talent when he does make a trip down there. It's all somewhat of a moot point now that Bloom has taken over now. He seems like he's not the type of guy that will pull any of the crap DeMott did.

Hopefully that cretin strength & conditioning coach goes next. And hopefully this serves as a warning to others (*cough* JBL) that these things won't be tolerated.

 

[Urich Leeds]

Every day, my hope that Shane comes back to WWE, and takes Vince's place, grows.

Went to the ROH show in Baltimore last night and saw AJ Styles and Samoa Joe in action. They both delivered. AJ really is the Phenomenal One, and it's so cool to see how how he works now compared to ten years ago. More psychology versus fulfilling a moveset quota. Joe was great, and I guess he could lose weight for WWE, but he looked fine to me. Maybe just some trimming around the stomach is what he needs, but it doesn't look necessary.

The rest of the tapings was fun. Young Bucks had a good match that got spotty during a superkick sequence in which they didn't sell getting superkicked, but it was high energy.

If Vince ever fully steps away I'd like to see a scenario where Shane comes back are runs the business end while HHH and Steph run the day to day creative side. Shane's been running a major cable provider for years in China and he could probably do wonders for the WWE Network.

But as I've said before, Vince reminds me exactly like Raider's owner Al Davis. They'll probably have to pry this company from his dead hands.

Glad you enjoyed the show. AJ's progression as a worker has been phenomenal (no pun intended....much.) He took all the amazing athletic ability and moves he had and learned how to pace them into a great match, realizing he didn't need to tick the box of them all every time he was in the ring. It's a real shame he never got the big stage showcase.

It's great because I remember years back when he did his comeback, he would string a series of big moves together. His match last night had the same moves, but executed at different moments, and it was well-paced. He'd execute it, then take a moment to sell the beating he took. AJ's very fluid in the ring.

It really is a shame he never got the big stage and probably won't. He's doing great work in Japan and that's a great place for him to be. But man, can you imagine an AJ Styles vs Daniel Bryan match or vs Seth Rollins at Mania? Talk about showstoppers!

I'm watching some old RAW's from 2002. Man, 3 Minute Warning was a great, short lived monster heel tag team. Sucks it didn't last long....

Sucked for Rosey. Not so much for Jamal

[Wheels]

Does just being in the ring with a legend REALLY always help a guy? I mean people within the business say it does because the promoter is putting a young guy in a big spot, but is the actual feud, outcome, and aftermath as unimportant as some make it out to be? Regardless of if the company sees it as a good thing, is a guy going to come out looking great after losing a big match to a legend, and then the company doesn't have a plan for the young guy after that? Because that feels like what usually happens.

 

[The Sage]

Not surprised by the tweet. Joe wrestled O'Reilly last night in a really good match.

 

[zeroapoc]

Hey now, Rosey got to be Hurricane's sidekick for a while.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Goto beat Shibata, Makabe beat Yujiro, Ibushi beat Yano, and Naito beat Fale in the NJC?


I definitely see the final being Ibushi vs. Goto.

 

[PyroChamber]

Did 3 Minute Warning even have many actual matches? I mostly remember them just coming to the ring and beating down whoever Bischoff had a problem with.
