Harry Smith is close to Being retarded. 

Devon Nickelson is a Canadian never-was wrestler with a youtube channel always trying to get views with shitty 'shoot clickbait.

Billy Graham is the biggest keyboard warrior on the planet.

So the credibility of that story is below average I would say.

Adam Pearce is on TV? I might watch some of it now.

Calm down. It was 27 seconds and you could barely hear him talk.

Morrison vs Big E was a fun TV match btw.

AEW didn’t only beat NXT, they beat the NBA as well. Pretty damn good.

David Benoit sounds like a nice guy. Breaks my heart to listen to him though. I was happy to hear the CTE results gave him some closure. 

He’s obviously filled with wrestling dreams.
I hope he finds someone in his life, starts a family and lives happily ever after. Screw Pro Wrestling.

Would break my heart to see him in front of 35 fans wrestling as a Tribute act. 

Tyler Bate vs Devlin was from another level. 
Loved it.

- Juice sold a back injury at the Press Conference.

- Moxley vows to still avenge his G1-Climax loss to Juice.

- I guess Moxley has resigned and winning tomorrow. I can see him take the belt to AEW. 

- Tanahashi to beat Jericho and going to AEW. 

- Naito and Jay White to win.

- Sanada to beat ZSJ

- Kenta wins

- Liger to go out on his back

Well that was really fun guys. 

My brother was watching along with me during Ibushi vs Okada....

He was all confused and concerned when Poker-face Ibushi went all no-sell and started potatoing Okada. 

Never in my life I have seen so many wrestling markets. Must be 150-200 for WrestleKingdom. 

Was eying to play with Tanahashi winning but something changed drastically. Jericho is now the favorite. Bait and switch?

The biggest compliment to NJPW would be to say that nothing feels like a safe bet for these shows. Anything is possible in NJPW.

Can’t wait.
 

AEW Payroll:

- Cody Rhodes EVP

- Cody Rhodes Talent

- Cody Rhodes’ advisor Arn Anderson

- Brandi Rhodes CBO

- Brandi Rhodes Talent

I think I know what to do to make AEW profitable in 2020.....

I just wonder who’s losing two Tokyo Dome matches in a row. Jay White? 

I guess Bullet Club is pretty much fully dead if this happens.

WK Day 1 is 25 bucks on FiteTV. Are there cheaper options?

My money is on Ospreay retaining, Sanada to win the British Heavyweight Title, Tanahashi to win, Moxley to win the US Title (and lose it to Archer the next day), Okada and Naito in the finals.

With Naito being crowned the IWGP Heavyweight Champion.

Looking forward to it.

Chris Jericho is quite the worker.

Him losing to Tanahashi is now actually a way bigger deal than him winning.

‘Le Champion’ should head WWE or AEW  Creative after retirement. We need him.

This is what Omega is building up to

https://youtu.be/YTKtPyqWDLY

One of the main problems with NXT to call ups are everyone falls in love with a worker on NXT, but then they switch shows and the new fans haven’t watched their rise, so it doesn’t hold the same emotional investment. I think it’s clear they want to have Omega work his way up to being a main guy, rather than just starting him off as one. It could blow up in their face and they ruin one of the best wrestlers in the world.
They need Jericho as the face of the company right now and only time will tell if this was a smart move or not. 
 

 

Building up to his official coming out party? Good for him. Whatever floats his boat. As long as he’s happy. 

Anyway, 3 months in I still watch AEW weekly. It’s not really what they promised as their PWG no-selling spotfests are far from being ‘sports-like’.

Either way, Le Champion, Scorpio Sky, Jungle Boy, Luchasaurus, Marko Stunt, Darby All-in and MJF have risen to the occasion.

The only thing I don’t like about AEW is that wannabe ‘Epic’ Cody entrance. Such a mark for himself.

That 6-man opener from this week was tremendous. So much fun!

Chris Jericho is the man. This man is on another level.

He’s winning on Sunday and he should keep the belt for a very long time.

Fucking hell let him make the stock thread and take this boring shit there.

Will do. 

Smackdown was fun btw!

No it isn't, it's perceived value.

You tell those people who lost 45% of their money since April....

 The stock price plummeted because they made less money than they did 4 months ago, not because Seth Rollins is champion.

Net income for the third quarter fell drastically year-on-year from $33.6 million to $5.8 million. That’s a seismic 82.7% drop. House shows don’t make them money anymore, they lose money with them.

Seth Rollins didn’t draw houses.

Seth Rollins calls fans fickle and whiners amidst WWE’s ratings and stock collapse.

He doesn’t have a single clue on how to engage fans as the top guy. He runs them off. 

Atleast you could argue that this run with Seth Rollins on top was extremely bad for business....

October 30:

- Rollins shoots on the fans

October 31:

- Q3 results are horrible. Investors give up.

October 31 - November 1:

- Time for a drastic change

Only a fool would of taken any real stock in last weeks ratings though as it was on Fs1 and not Fox

Yes last weeks ratings were maybe lower then expected as was debated on here last week but they were also expecting a drop off 

I guess those Wallstreet investors thought otherwise, hence the 18% drop. They were scared shitless because of it. That’s real money.

Will they run back when they realize it was just an ‘one off’? If so, WWE is in for a big stock gain if Q4 is solid.

Apologies. I will open a WWE stock topic soon. Let’s see if we can find some logical trends.

What the bloody hell are you talking about, honestly.

Look at that massive stock drop from last week. As we just discussed, they went from 4 million to 800.000 viewers in 3 weeks plus bad Q3 earnings. A big deception after so much hype.

Shares of World Wrestling Entertainment ended this week at $55.96 and collapsed a bloodcurdling -18.15%. Investors are running away from WWE.

In April (WrestleMania season) they were at 100 USD. That’s a 45% drop since Rollins won the belt. Billions have vanished. 

With SmackDown ratings getting back on track now, will the price also go up again this Monday!? Isn’t that interesting to check out?

Truly fascinating to me. This is so much more than just a ‘wrasslin’ show.

Still interesting to see how this affects WWE’s stock price on Monday.

Why don’t we have a WWE stock analysis topic btw?

We probably understand more about the ‘WWE Universe’ than the ‘average Joe’ Wallstreet ‘investor. We are leaving money on the table.

That’s all like Bitcoin logic to me. 

‘Drops 30% on Monday and gains 22% on Wednesday’ - Headline on Thursday reads ‘Bitcoin on an immensely huge uprise!’

Early reports seem to indicate 2.5 million viewers which an almost 200% increase from last week... which, if true, is pretty damn impressive to be fair.

????? They started with 4 million just 4 weeks ago.

i found that to be a Very enjoyable episode of smackdown, great to see the likes of Tegan Nox and Rhea Ripley on TV, as well as Adam Cole. its probably a blessing in disguise that they announced the NXT involvement in the Survivor series show the day before so they could still make a tv show that made sense. 

Aside from Lesnar and Heyman, i am pretty sure no one else made it back from crown jewel? 

This is a billion dollar, publicly traded company. They have ‘disaster’ plans.

If the flight was 14 hours and the show in 17, I’m sure they had thought about ‘Plan B’ for in case they don’t make it on time.

I like to think that last night, they simply executed ‘Plan B’. 

Sensationalist Dave Meltzer is the greatest worker in the business.

I get it. However Flair was the high roller and Dusty was the ‘son of a plumber’ / ‘common man’, hence it worked. 

There is absolutely nothing ‘common man’ about Cody. Jericho vs Cody is basically ‘Flair vs Flair’ to me. 

- Landing in a Private jet.

- Stretch Limousine for just himself and Schiavone.

- Wearing a Three piece suit everywhere.

- Arriving late to the contract signing...

Cody Rhodes is 34 years old, flaunting his richness, taking shots at WWE every chance he gets, basically arrogant af, acting like he’s the King of England. Such a mark for himself.

In short: Isn’t Jericho the heel?

I wonder if they will adopt WWE’s 50/50 booking logic btw with the wins and losses. If so, than it will be easy to beat the bookies the upcoming months.
