Human body is not designed to take a full time WWE schedule. There's a reason a lot of the industry has gotten away from having guys wrestle 4 times a week.

I've said forever, and I know many here agree, all you have to look at is how many wrestlers have died or can barely move. It is sad. Let these humans rest.

Lol Cody Rhodes told a story of CM Punk saying “as the locker room leader, I’m telling all of you guys to pick up your trash” except Booker T was in the locker room and right after that, he threw his trash on the ground.

Also said if you have to call yourself the locker room leader, you’re not the locker room leader lol

CM Punk is a dick.

I mean, that's what we like about him to some degree, but he is a dick.

No ones mentioned that Bork has signed through to wrestlemania.

If brauns knees are shot and he needs time off, it seems that McIntyre is gonna turn face soon and get a wrestlemania coronation

I like Drew as champ and a focal point of Raw.

But the man is 10x better as a heel.

 

[Kimi]

Like I said before, being the best at one thing is never an argument to not be something else you're also great at. A 10/10 heel and 9/10 face is still a 9/10 face and more than good enough to be the top guy.

Mike Johnson from PWInsider talked about Strowman’s push cooling off. He said he has a habit of making mistakes in regards to locker room etiquette and leaving shows early. One person put it as Braun being his own worst enemy and worst advocate.


I guess this is why they’ve shifted to Drew, other than Drew being better in literally every single way than Strowman.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

This is amazing btw

Fightful.com has learned that WWE Monday Night Raw has a hard "out" time of 11 PM EST, as opposed to the soft end time that they've enjoyed since the 1990s. We're told this will begin with next Monday's edition of Raw, and will continue for the foreseeable future. This is already the case for WWE Smackdown Live on Tuesday Nights.

"10-20-30 years from now, there's no reason we can't be as big [as] or bigger than Disney," McMahon said. "Now that's a tall order, especially given recent transactions. However, there's no reason why we can't get there. You have to dream big, have big, bold goals, and go after them."

Currently, WWE's market cap is $5.8 billion compared to Disney's $172.7 billion, according to The Big Lead. It's fair to say WWE has quite a long way to go before getting close to Disney.

yikes

Randy Orton apparently had a vacation booked which is over the Survivor Series weekend, which is why he’s not booked

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

They should have more cliff hanger endings then, fade to black before something big happens and then call the WWE hot-line for more information after the show!

Meltzer says Reigns has started treatment and any return is expected to be a long way off

I would enjoy the show if they fade to black, and then kick off the next weeks show in an entirely new city, but with the same people in the same positions as when the previous week ended and then just carried on like nothing happened

It was interesting to me that Chris Jericho and Cody both said Glen Jacobs was the only true locker room leader they've ever had, simply because it was like, common knowledge that Mark Calaway was the guy backstage.

Taker probably had his own locker room separate from the rest.

It isn’t really surprising. Some of the bullish calls on when he could return are what surprised me.

 

[Cor]

Yeah, he’ll be gone for AT LEAST 1 year if everything goes extremely well

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Imagine if Mark Calaway actually buried people alive and shook it off as being apart of his gimmick

What if Kane at a city council meeting electeocuted an opponents testicles and said it's just his gimmick

There's no reason why I can't date multiple super models

Yeah people are insane if they thought any less.

His treatment alone will take 6 months and destroy his body and that's if everything goes perfectly.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Yeah, he’ll be gone for AT LEAST 1 year if everything goes extremely well

Honestly would think at least 2 years. But even then, like I’ve said, we should just hope he survives this and can live a normal life afterwards.

I have no doubt he will. How badly his body will affected by treatment... time will tell. I hope he can come back and do what he loves afterwards.

 

[GKJ]

So what you're saying is that Brock is going to be champion for at least another year.

 

[Serac]

Wwe needs to be grooming Seth and Drew as the top face and heel respectively with Roman out very long term.

Having either of those two dethroning Brock is the logical thing to do.


When is the xfl coming back so H can take more control...?
