With so many cable channels, why won't any take a gamble on Jeff Jarrett's GFW? Is the wrestling audience not valued by TV? Or is the WWE shadow just too large?
The bottom line is money. It costs money to make wrestling programming. So, GFW would need a deal that paid them well. The problem is that wrestling draws very low rates on advertising, so that works against wrestling programming (just ask TNA). For a start up company, it would be even worse. The money just isn’t there for the show to go live. Plus, they aren’t established, which also works against them.
Was Cameron release tied at all to her comments supporting Ryback's views on wrestler pay? Is all dissent squashed?
Only the decision makers in WWE know for sure, but her comments in support of Ryback couldn’t have helped her position with the company. As for the dissent, there are still plenty of talents there that feel the way that Ryback does. It’s hard to be in a position where you don’t get the chance to show all that you can do.
As you guys and many more were, I too thought that WWE releasing Sandow was probably one of the stupidest things they have done in a while, and that it says a lot about Vince either being stone deaf to what the fans want or just plain not caring. With that said, is Damien Sandow his own name or a WWE owned name? And what's his best next step TNA, ROH, or New Japan? If he stays in the states I think he could be an amazing foil to Jay Lethal. The verbal sparring alone would be worth the watch.
WWE owns the name but he will be fine without it. The indies draw hardcore fans and they know who he is. Given TNA’s recent issues, I would avoid them if I were him. I see a great, ready made feud with Dalton Castle for him in ROH, and that could also means getting dates with New Japan. I think that is his best option right now. If there is no interest from ROH (which would surprise me), he should work the indies. He could do very well right now.
I just saw the Cole interview with Rusev. Is it just me, or is Rusev losing his accent?
His accent has always been heavily worked.
I have an idea I want to run past you guys and see what you think. We all know that Undertaker has only a few matches left (maybe just one) and that Vince is gonna have to let go of the reins eventually; so next year at the Rumble the final few guys are left in the ring and eyeing each other from their corners as they always do, lightning flashes and the bell tolls, and the Undertaker comes up through the ring and trashes everyone leaving no winner. The following night on Raw the Vince calls out Undertaker for an explanation, Undertaker says he only wants one thing and if he gets it he will never be a problem again and will depart to the underworld; he wants Vince at WM and if McMahon loses he goes too. Obviously to make it a compelling match one or two of the guys screwed at the Rumble help Vince, but in the end Undertaker wins and takes Vince to hell with him in a casket. Good or bad idea?
On a scale of great to terrible, that is beyond awful. One, you don’t have a winner in the Rumble? I hate that. But what I hate even more is having a 71 year old man wrestle. I don’t care what kind of great shape Vince is in, I don’t want to see a senior citizen wrestle and I think it’s a terrible.
