Paid Members seph Posted August 19, 2020 Paid Members Posted August 19, 2020 3 hours ago, Snitsky's back acne said: I wonder if they get the cash from this years shows or if they'll have to do double next year. Depending if the Saudis apply some Darth Vader "alterations". After the plane shit I'd wager the WWE would have to be a bit more wary.
Paid Members chokeout Posted August 19, 2020 Paid Members Posted August 19, 2020 Renee is super talented and has that rare ability to come across as genuine and knowledable, she'll be snapped up by someone. She's lucky she's a woman because she'd be getting the Coachman treatment if she wasn't. they hate it when people know they have worth outside of wrestling.
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted August 19, 2020 Paid Members Posted August 19, 2020 https://www.cobbcounty.org/public-safety/police/news/serious-injury-collision-16 Seems like Buff Bagwell really fucked himself up crashing a car on prescription drugs. As much as he's a twat for driving dangerously I hope he's alright, he was always one of my faves and every time his name comes up recently it's always something bad.
Paid Members Statto Posted August 20, 2020 Paid Members Posted August 20, 2020 He should've read the signs.
Paid Members PJ Power Posted August 21, 2020 Paid Members Posted August 21, 2020 On 8/19/2020 at 7:11 PM, Statto said: She is precisely in the mould ESPN look for in their female anchors. They've been cutting costs for several years though so might not be hiring. Didn't she used to be a presenter for TSN in Canada prior to working with the WWE? If so, she's definitely got the kind of experience I'd presume ESPN would like. Once she has left, I would not be surprised if she makes a one-off appearance on AEW alongside Moxley - but I don't think we'll see her having a permanent role there, she can easily work outside the wrasslin' bubble.
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted August 30, 2020 Author Paid Members Posted August 30, 2020 So, the recent Raw Underground. Do we think it may have been in response to this
Merzbow Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 That's not pro-wrestling. It's Sonnen's new project with amateur wrestling.
Merzbow Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Soz about the double post but.. GCW with others have announced a bunch of shows for October, most seem to be what they had originally planned for 'Mania weekend. Not sure if they're going to be 100% fully open to fans but tickets are going on sale and those with tickets from earlier in the year can convert them for these shows. Quote October 9: 12 PM: GCW Jimmy Lloyd’s D-Generation F 4 PM: Southern Underground Pro 8 PM: Absolute Intense Wresting: Thunder in Indianapolis 11:59 PM: GCW For the Culture October 10: 11 AM: Effy’s Big Gay Brunch presented by GCW 3 PM: Glory Pro Wrestling 7 PM: GCW Joey Janela’s Spring Break 4: Spring Break Forever 11:59 PM: Freelance Wrestling and Freelance Underground October 11: 12 PM: Black Label Pro presents: Threat Level Noon 4 PM: SHIMMER 8 PM: GCW Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport 11:30 PM: Paradigm Pro Wrestling
The Dart Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 They've already said 500 fans will be allowed in. It's a 2000 seat venue. They've been a bit cheeky in saying that these are rescheduled from Mania weekend, so tickets for that are valid - which is fair enough, but given it's 14 hour drive from Tampa, most fans will not be able to go who had tickets for Tampa, but they're now only offering credit, rather than refunds, but I guess those fans should have got refunds when the shows were originally "postponed" rather than wait around.
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted September 1, 2020 Paid Members Posted September 1, 2020 He really became insufferable the last couple of years. Shouting more and more over Beth and Nigel. Good riddance.
Paid Members DEF Posted September 1, 2020 Paid Members Posted September 1, 2020 I know he's marmite but I've by and large loved Mauro. I will take someone OTT shouting and seemingly giving a shit over complete and utter apathy that the other lead announcers bring in WWE.
Paid Members WeeAl Posted September 1, 2020 Paid Members Posted September 1, 2020 I gave up on watching NXT long ago. He wasn't the only reason, but he was one of them. Nigel is shite too, mind.
The Dart Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Wade Barrett in one week was a hundred times better than Nigel or Mauro. Hopefully he signs on full time.
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted September 1, 2020 Paid Members Posted September 1, 2020 I liked Mauro originally. He brought energy and enthusiasm that is hugely missing in their commentary. He'd also make it sound like he was reacting to the contest rather than just blandly telling the story he's been told. Something definitely changed, perhaps the JBL stuff or the move to NXT but he became so overbearing and rehearsed. I've only watched NXT in clip form for most of the past year or so and even in 2 minutes, he's unbearable. Perhaps just a case of becoming as over-produced as everything and everyone on their TV. I just watched the Christian/Randy Orton Timeline that someone mentioned in the Network thread and he's the narrator for that and does a good job. He's got a great voice and loves what he does. He should have been a home run for them.
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted September 1, 2020 Paid Members Posted September 1, 2020 The worst thing they done was the Mauro cam at the announce desk. He used that to become even more hyper and ott.
