The Wrestling Thread MUST End In Pinball Or Submission - - - - - Part 222

[TheCommissioner]

Comet TV is in over 60% of households nationwide now, very comparable to the number of homes Pop is in and way more than El Rey or AXS (the broadcasters of TNA, LU, and NJPW respectively)

Plus rohwrestling.com is worldwide and free

Plus Sinclair just bought Tennis Channel

That doesn't include any of the normal Sinclair stations/affiliates

Just because they don't have a single flagship station that everyone has doesn't mean they aren't nationwide. They work on a syndication model due to the way their business is set up.

COMET was just added to our cable system here, hoping for El Rey soon because Comcast carries in some parts of the US but not all

I would happily watch ROH if it was readily available

 

[Dr. Evil]

kyle Edwards has left WWE.

Good. They do not need 1,000 backstage interviewers.

 

[TheCommissioner]

and Rich Brennan just got cut loose

this also happened in the early 90s where they had too many backstage people

I love Graves and Tom Phillips on NXT

whenever Eva Maries comes out

"SHUT UP TOM"

Report: TNA Owed Bobby Roode & Eric Young A Combined Six-Figures


By Eric Lynch on April 29, 2016



David Herro, founder of Great Lakes Championship Wrestling, says he knows the real reason Bobby Roode and Eric Young left TNA. “Bobby Roode and Eric Young left because they were owed a combined six-figures,” Herro said on the Pro Wrestling Report.


“How do you not pay those two guys?” Herro asked. “You let Bobby Roode go… a guy who could have gone to WWE but he wanted to be loyal to the company. Thank God he left. He’ll be a big star in NXT. He’ll make the main roster in a year from now. Same with Eric Young.”


As far as TNA’s future goes, Herro thinks they need a management change. “I wish Ring Of Honor would buy TNA,” Herro said of TNA’s current financial problems. “They already have the infrastructure in place. They already have the TV deal alone. They’re already in more markets than Pop TV.”
Herro also pointed out that TNA does not currently get paid by Pop TV, and that they bartered for their Impact Wrestling time slot.

Maybe it's just me, but I cannot imagine seeing her and Dean Ambrose getting all lovey-dovey on Total Divas.

So Cesaro is already back, and Cena and Rollins are going to return very soon.

But no word on the master of the RKO.

Good riddance. He had no charisma!

The smart thing to do would be to keep Orton off TV till Summer Slam. Honestly it might even be better to keep him out till the next Rumble. People complain about Cena but Orton might be the most stale act in WWE.

The longer Orton is gone the more fans will appreciate him when he finally comes back....and he has to come back as a heel. Orton as a face is just as bad as Roman Reigns as face.

 

[runawayboulder]

I don't know who Vince is giving control of Raw to tonight but one thing is for sure - the segment is going to be dragged out for 25 min worth of the PPV.

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

so what are the chances of an actual brand split tonight, or are we gonna have to suffer another 2-3 months of this who controls what crap.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Already tired of the Authority.

 

[runawayboulder]

Screw that brand split nonsense. Cut off 1 hour of Raw and make Smackdown live leading into and after a PPV.

 

[The Apocalypse]

Even if they want to cut Raw back down an hour I don't think they can because of their contract with USA Network. I could be wrong.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Hmmm.....might a certain "People's Champion" show up on Raw tomorrow for a birthday celebration?

He just got done shooting Baywatch and doesn't shoot Furious 8 for a few more weeks.

 

[TX85]

Vince will troll Shane and Steph by naming himself in charge of Raw while they become his assistans or something and they'll argue like Austin and Bichoff for any power over somebody.

 

[runawayboulder]

Even if they want to cut Raw back down an hour I don't think they can because of their contract with USA Network. I could be wrong.

That's why I suggested the live Smackdown idea. There would be an increase in ratings those nights. Another option is to give them an NXT special once a month which would do solid numbers. There's options...

Not gonna lie - if he never came back again, I'd be ok with that.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Speaking of NXT.....

Is there anyone on NXT who can be credible enough to dethrone Asuka? Bayley will give her a good match when they meet again, but Bayley will lose the rematch so that the Huggable One can go on the main roster. I've seen nothing from Nia Jax to think she poses a threat. Carmella and Alexa Bliss have to be built up. She's already beaten Dana Brooke. We haven't seen enough of Billie Kay, Peyton Royce, Aliyah or Liv Morgan and also

Spoiler

Adrienne Reese debuts at the tapings in two weeks.

Eva Marie just lost to her this past week.

So is there anybody who can beat Asuka at this point?

 

[Benstamania]

I may have missed it.. But did anyone read the rumor of a 13 dollar option for the Network which will give us Raw and Smack down in full the day after they air?

 

[Benstamania]

So is there anybody who can beat Asuka at this point?

Build up Tessa Blanchard?

 

[Wheels]

The return of the future is coming......

TMDK made their debut at an NXT house show this weekend

exciting, Im a big fan of those guys
