Pro Wrestling NOAH? I'm more referring to him having the opportunity with WWE, but never being able to make it out of developmental. He was clearly never arsed hitting the gym.

You can only imagine what a bloke like Triple H thought when he saw that walking about. I've got a more sculpted and athletic physique than him. What a lazy bugger.

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted May 16, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted May 16, 2014 WWE has signed a new deal with NBC Universal to broadcast Raw and Smackdown. No official word on the money, but the stock dropped over 20%, according to the Observer. Meltzer also speculates that the deal rises to $155M in 2015, which is well below the $280M WWE were after. Not a great few weeks for WWE, when you factor in the Network number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted May 16, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted May 16, 2014 Yeah they've really fucked up there. You really shouldn't promise a massive increase if you cant deliver it. They built themselves up for an underwhelming figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted May 16, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted May 16, 2014 Also sounds like talking the big numbers hurt in the negotiations because networks other than NBC thought WWE's suggested amounts were ludicrous and/or realised they were simply being used to bump up the price NBC would wind up paying.

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted May 16, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted May 16, 2014 Aye. Meltzer has said for months that the numbers WWE were after would make no financial sense for any Network into making money on their programming, such is the ad rate WWE commands. Still, to get well under $100M the projections is quite the defeat. You wonder how they will try and spin this. They tried their hardest with the Network, pretending the low number was any good.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted May 16, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 16, 2014 Especially when MLS which no-one even watches got a large increased. WWE wanted NASCAR level money and got next to fuck all. Obviously when TV companies want sports rights they want actual sports. Still, TNA can breathe a little easier now.
