So another person was let go by WWE today and it was...
The Brooklyn Brawler Steve Lombardi...he had been with WWE for over 30 years. Dang

I thought you was going to feel the people in on the Vince press conf today. I'll let you do it.. but they had it today and he says Orton/Rollins/Bray/Cena all coming back in the mouth or so. GREAT NEWS. I thought Orton and Rollins were out longer. Also they say 1.8M has the WWE Network which is not bad. Still the goal they have is 2.5M by years end.
Only 1.8M when free PPVs come with it and that's not bad? That's flat out awful!
Everyone knew those losers were coming back, and I've referenced it a few times in the last week as the downfall to all the new faces that are just now starting to get over. All will be ruined and fans will be lost.

Chill out. Wait. First off what are you talking about? I'm not sure.. Are you talking about the fans who dropped the network? Maybe because of Reigns push? Or the fact the real talent is coming back? Or 'm I just way lost on what your sayin? Is it something else????

So Rollins and Orton are losers ?? Ok, I guess.... You can't have a roster full of wet behind the ear greenhorns especially when a couple of them are as bland as a flat diet coke. You HAVE TO keep some aging stars. Look at it in the eyes of MLB, NBA or NFL, if all you have is rookies or younger guys, then pretty much all you have is development league, Triple A or D-League (non Paddock).
The veterans provide leadership and keep the older fans coming back, think of it like if Peyton Manning, or someone similar.

Along with being a wrestler for many years, he was a road agent for the last 15-20 years.
So Adam Rose got arrested last night for Battery Domestic Violence and Tampering with a Witness.
Yeah that is not going to help when you are already on a 60 day suspension from WWE.
After seeing that E:60 special I thought the Leo Kruger character was much more interesting than the British party guy. He seemed like a good guy, obviously in a bad place right now.
So rumor is ESPN is going to do a 30 for 30 on the XFL.

What did Lombardi do to get fired?
Will be glad for Rollins and Wyatt to return.

Apparently talking too much on social media and calling into the Taz radio show over the last couple of weeks. Those are all no-no's in WWE these days I guess.
So I watched the latest Table for 3 with Hall, Nash and Waltman, was pretty entertaining. Also watched the second episode of Camp WWE. It is pretty funny, Flair might be the best
thing on it.
A girl I knew was a cheerleader for the New York Hitmen.
The XFL was one of the weirdest things ever.
Vince & his big gonad disease. Took out WCW so thought he could do the same to the NFL.
serves him right to sit back & watch Linda's 2 senate campaigns eat up $100M of his empire

I was big into the XFL for about 3 weeks. I was a college sophomore. My friends and I used to have XFL watch parties that pretty much was a bunch of dudes, drinking, smoking and grubbing. I knew it wasn't the NFL, so I didn't expect the players to be as good. Unfortunately for Vince, interest waned exponentially as the weeks went by.
Wonder how long before Big Cass gets a super push?
Has to be Vince's new crush, has everything he loves. Not great on the mic, but that has never stopped Vince before.

It's the same as AFL. I went to an LA Kiss arena football game to cover it and it's a novelty act. If you have seen it once, there's no reason to ever go again.
BTW, look up how hilarious LA Kiss games are.
Bandit, Cass isn't nearly as athletic but if he can be used as the big guy where they would normally put a Wyatt member or Big Show or Kane, then I'm all about it.
He hasn't been married long enough to need help with his clean and jerk form...
When Rollins comes back will they have him come back as a face? People keep suggesting he will. But the roster now has a lack of good heels, so how can he? We know Cena when he returns in 2 weeks is a lock for babyface, same with Orton. They may turn Reigns or Styles but that would only be two big names, KO and most likely Styles.
So should they do another Ambrose and Rollins feud? Who does Rollins face once he returns? I wouldn't mind him putting KO over if he's face.

You know I like some good rumors so here is one...Sinclair Broadcasting which is the parent company of ROH could be interested in buying TNA and maybe putting them out of their misery.
Also according to pictures posted over the last day or so, Paige and Alberto Del Rio are apparently a couple...didn't see that one.

Paige must have padre issues. Nice pull for ADR, I'm surprised he doesn't have children her age.
So you all this Twitter exchange between Finn Balor and Bray Wyatt...pretty entertaining.

^ That's good stuff.
I was reading stuff on the net this morning and the next feud for Charlotte will be Paige and there is some recent heat there.
Apparently before ADR hooked up with Paige he was hooking up with Charlotte.

I always assume WWE is basically just a glorified version of high school where everyone is hooking up with everyone and dating like it's musical chairs.
I have hit a wall with my fan interest right now. Haven't watched anything since Payback and I'm just not that interested right now, which is typical of post Mania. Considering a break.

Other than NXT, I pretty much watch everything in Fast Forward, stopping when something interests me...I like getting through a 3 hour show in 30 minutes or so.
I read results and go watch what I think is interesting with the current product.
Currently, I'm rewatching every RAW, Nitro and PPV from 1997 on the network. I'm in late April. Fascinating stuff. WCW is still better. That Sting angle is hot. Vince is starting to step up his game with the Bret Hart hates American fans angle. Loving McMahon on commentary. Can't wait for gang wars, the birth of DX, the birth of the Rock, etc.

Same here. Raw is mostly the Jericho, KO, and AJ Styles show with a probable cameo by Ambrose. I might stop and watch the women if Becky is wrestling. :fire:
So bummer for Emma....gets called back up to the main roster, got injured over the weekend and has a ruptured disc in her back and will be out a few months.
Couple random thoughts as I speed through RAW...
Worst booking decision EVER to have the Uso's go over clean on Gallows/Anderson - why the hell would anyone book that this soon since their debut?
If Charlotte wants to be a legit star she's gotta get away from Ric. He casts such a huge shadow and is almost becoming a distraction from her. It was fine when she jumped to the main roster but for her to shine she has to go solo.

I hope the show gets better for u'all.
Mega is right about Vince at the table. I think he's underrated at commentary. That is the one thing he never messed up in.

Honestly last night I came home from practice and got my son to sleep.
I turned on the tv and saw Gallows and Anderson entrance along with AJ. Turned off the TV and went to sleep. Feel like it was a smart move.

^ As I copied from last week..."Remember that time Hall and Nash were brought it and were jobbing within a month...oh wait that didn't happen."
In wrestling that doesn't suck...announced today for the first time in NXT history, Joe and Balor will meet in a cage match on the next Takeover show on June 8.

I hope Cena doesn't come back and squash this "new era" or we are back to not evolving top stars.
Also is Stephanie McMahon all of a sudden a face now with no rhyme or reason?

I don't think it's necessary for Charlotte to get out of Ric's shadow to become a legit star. It's girl wrestling and outside of an entrance and a few good crotch/butt shots it doesn't matter.
