ruby is hurting man.

Did you see her Friday? Good Creativty but her body can’t do it anymore.

they probably don’t need Braun with cage and his ilk around, but having another big heavy is never a bad thing imo. I love the big heavies

Braun would be good in New Japan. They like having some big guys over there

I don't think of it that way.

I look at it as these were entertainers that they had nothing for.

But a perplexing thing to go with a thing of frustration and anger....


And I only been up for a hour

Braun was literally just main eventing PPVs. There's plenty of times they had "nothing creatively" for guys and just let them sit around too. Currently Keith Lee, Jeff Hardy, Bray Wyatt aren't doing jack. The latter two likely have salaries comparative to Braun as well. And they literally just started pushing Black despite keeping him off TV months.

Lee is sick/injured and bray has some mental health issue. They’re probably off limits for now.

Jeff hardy on the other hand...

Jeff was always a guy I thought would be a good guy to pair Darby with if Jeff went to AEW.

None of that is confirmed. Bray even came out and said it was bullshit saying something to the effect of don't believe what you read.

they supposedly wanted to buy the whole thing when the network rights were sold, so I’m guessing yes.

But after they bought Lucasfilms the big rumor was they wanted to sell off ESPN and then went through a shit load of layoffs like the WWE is doing.

 

[Judge Fudge]

I just watched a wrestling podcast and here what I got

-Money was behind all. Although I highly doubt with at least one figures pay.

-Murphy and Riott were stunners.

I’m figuring if anyone buys them or at least gets first crack at buying them, it’ll be NBC/Universal, especially since they’ve been moving the Network content to Peacock.

good luck selling the share holders on someone getting a deal and no selling to the highest bidder

But that's leaves people like me in the dark because we have no access to Peacock.

IF it's peacock AND Sportsnet...

Well fuck me. I can't stand that channel. I only watch it for WWE and the occonsional hockey game or draft lottery

Trust me, you’re not missing anything with that. Worst streaming service I ever remember using.

Ah....

Ok

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Ah....

Ok

Slow and clunky and not user friendly based on my experience.

Can I just say I am glad WWE got rid of Mauro Ranollo because the dude blows as an announcer whether in wrestling or boxing. He needs to be a soccer announcer.

I kind of Liked him. I prefer guys who Love the business, Instead of guys like Adman....

Smith was Good but need a bigger sample size to form a opinion

He was like the Gus johnson of pro wrestling…but worse

I don't see the hate. Here is a guy who has a love and passion for this Business.

What is so wrong about that?

Gus at least didn’t make every play sound like it was the game winner. And his dumb ass new hair cut. Dude wasn’t build to be a commentator. He is a ring announcer or the introductions. Soccer he would do well with his over the top enthusiastic promos. You need someone at home to make soccer seem exciting, which he can do.

Loving the business for sure, but I don’t think he did necessarily. It seemed to be a stepping stone to boxing and eventually UFC. Seems like a solid guy and wish nothing but the best for him but his commentary and interviews kills the flow of the event. Was alright on NXT, terrible on Smackdown and the Tyson fight, then god awful and an embarrassment tonight on the Floyd/Jake fight. New Michael Buffer for sure, but not a spot on the table.
