Pro Tip: Its not that match that is making it not sell well. It’s the overall idea

The overall idea would sell if they booked a better show to begin with.

They aren’t giving anyone a reason to buy tickets with what has been announced.

Well the show isn’t selling well, so it seems most people aren’t swayed by that match.

If Bliss/Stratus could do 10-15k in Nassau on their own with zero build, then they’re incredibly undervalued.

Bliss/Stratus just doesn't do much for me to be honest.

There’s no match that they can announce that would sell out the arena.

Alexa, whether you like it or not, is one of the most popular females on the roster.

The only female draw is Ronda. There’s a reason they are having Trish and Lita wrestle at the event. It’s because they are hoping the nostalgic factor helps draw people

Lin Byron (Ray) passed away. She was awesome.

What happened? She was far too young.

What happened? She was far too young.

Hadn't she been fighting brain cancer for the last few years?

Very sad.

I kinda wanna see it happen though. It would be funny.

At that point, I would start to believe Vince is working us and knows what he is doing. Like, he is using Roman like that on purpose to piss us off and get us talking. But I have listened to too many podcasts to think he is that clever. He is just an old carny stuck in his old ways. They are a babyface territory after all (lol).

Yet when they have a legit white hot babyface they turn her.

Vince's true feelings were summed up when he got in the ring the night after Mania either last year or two years ago and the crowd was loudly chanting Roman Sucks at him and he just went "If you say so", but the shrug he gave was basically "I don't give a f*** what you think".

Vince is the best heel in WWE !

If only the company lucked it's way into one of the women becoming a gigantic babyface almost entirely by accident. If that happened I bet the company wouldn't do something stupid like make her a heavy handed heel trying to kill off the crowd dying to cheer her. Nope. Not at all.

Big Cass has changed his name again, this time to Big C.

Bray has a new instagram @thewindhamrotunda - Showing off the more "human" side of him outside the ring. Maybe this re-packaged Bray will be decent?

- Dave Bautista said he isn't worried about being fired for criticizing Disney and its handling of the James Gunn situation. He said he's willing to go wrestle in backyards if he needs to make some money if necessary. That isn't what this is about for him.

 

[Paris in Flames]

It's a lot easier to say you'll do _____ for money when in reality you'll never have to worry about money again.

Though I do respect a man who takes a stance and stands by it.

Interesting.

Wonder if he shows up at HIAC.

Batista will have no issue finding movie work, at least for a few more years.

 

[Disclose]

he'll have a job until disney buys everything.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

this is official lol

 

[KaseMeOutside]

he'll have a job until disney buys everything.

He'll also have no problem getting big money for a couple matches, be it here or Japan, also shoot interviews, conventions etc.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Gosh, it's a good thing they added their names, otherwise we'd have no idea!

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

yup. if he was ever hurting for money (doubtful after getting Marvel money 3x now) he could make a mint on the Comic Con circuit.

Or like you said, go do a 1-4 match program in Japan and make a fortune

 

[SeidoN]

Roman Reigns. literally Satan. still a babyface.

 

[dahrougem2]

Lmao what the hell is Strowman in that pic? Like an ultra-satan?

 

[Dr Pepper]

Yeah I don't get what they're trying to do there, with the wings and cartoonishly-long forked tongue?

 

[Disclose]

its cheesy but i like it.
