Winston Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Meltzer reporting WWE are contacting loads of 40+ year old wrestlers to fill up brand split rosters! Reminds me of the god awful returns of Tatanka & Road Warrior Animal to SmackDown back in the day. Be interesting to see who gets the call though.

The Clint Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Contacting loads? There's not many of them around that could still work. Most of our favourites are either retired or dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Clint Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 According to some of the newz sites WWE are planning to make the Big 4 PPVs run 4 hours after the brand split as this will be the only time Raw and Smackdown merge on PPV. Starting with SummerSlam as it's been announced that it will run 4hrs long again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted June 18, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2016 So potentially two three-hour weekly shows (Raw and SmackDown), a “pay-per-view” (read: Network special) from each branch a month, and the “big four” all going to four hours? That’s a lot of programming per week to keep up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUM Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I don't know why people moan about the amount of potential programming. I spend hours binge watching TV shows if they're good, if a wrestling show is decent enough throughout then I won't mind how long it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clint Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Meltzer did say that WWE haven't confirmed nor denied the rumours about Raw and Smackdown having their own PPV every month. When we get closer to the draft things will become more clearer about extra PPVs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 The Clash of the Champions trademark thing has probably added to the speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philjax Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Mike Knox is a shoe-in surely. Waltman deserves a chance to have a match once a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Tommy! Posted June 18, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2016 I don't know why people moan about the amount of potential programming. I spend hours binge watching TV shows if they're good, if a wrestling show is decent enough throughout then I won't mind how long it is. If they are good is the crucial bit. The more time to fill the faster storylines burn out or get rd-used and the more air time goes to people who shouldn't be on tv and take down the show.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted June 18, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2016 Waltman can barely string a sentence together these days. There's no way he'd be able to pass the physicals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted June 18, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2016 Fuck, is Waltman that fucked now? I haven't kept up at all lately. Think the last time I saw Waltman was his 1994 Timeline interview. Haven't seen him wrestle since he was in TNA years ago though. He was always one of those guys I half expected to get the 2002 Mr Perfect call up to return but it's never happened obviously. Shame if that ship's sailed now. Waltman is one of the few names that would guarantee me tuning in again for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted June 18, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2016 When did he break his arsehole during a Bronco Buster? Was that a few years ago now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 When did he break his arsehole during a Bronco Buster? Was that a few years ago now? 2013 I believe. In other injury news, He posted a picture of his torn bicep on Twitter, that looked bad. He was also ridiculed for being out of shape in the picture.

d-d-d-dAz Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Last night on Twitter he was constantly tweeting some shit TV show that had clearly asked for puns of film names with an ocean theme. He was not good at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
