Pro Wrestling! (For Everything WWE , Impact , Indies & Japan !)

[MarkRodriguez09]

Yeah spoilers can be tough to avoid if you spend a lot of time on social media discussing wrestling. I saw an article w/ the Bliss news the other day but didn't click on it. Cool blog BTW!

Thanks!

sakura genesis 2018 part 1 on axs tv
L I J vs Suzuki-gun in 6 man tag action
marty scurll challenges will ospreay for the IWGP junior heavyweight championship
http://www.axs.tv/programs/new-japan-pro-wrestling/
and now the second to last 2 matches of the 2018 may young classic (where the REAL womens evolution is happening) before WWEevolution (which will prolly be 85% suck)
toni storm(JD's favorite) vs meiko satomura
rhea ripley vs io shrai

I feel that despite Nikki being there, Evolution will still be awesome with both the final Mae Young Classic match and the Kairi vs Shayna match.

but that's not what they wanted and doesn't advance their goals so it's not working.



AJPW might be a good choice, i know they're having try outs in san jose next year. they also have a lot of footage of WWE hall of famers in their library.



i think impact continued to use ishimori even after he jumped to NJPW.



yeah i just hope they don't make him too corny kissing the crowds ass with his songs.



yeah it's a pretty terrible feeling, and then you feel bad for almost looking forward to what comes next. sadly WWE is now way more interesting that they're going to have change directions and hopefully the brightside of all this is it will create opportunities for others.



i think it kind of shows that roman was the only reason they did a shield reunion in the 1st place. i'm wondering if they're going to have dean go it solo or align him with dolph & drew??



that's what i was thinking. also it really was a dumbass move to turn braun heel. he was in perfect position to be the top face if they wanted him to be, now that they may NEED him to be he's not in such a position.

Thr Becky/Charlotte angle seems to be over. Probably more over than any Smackdown woman angle in recent mrmory. Becky is more over now than she ever has been. Again, from WWE standpoint I think they're happy with it.

Crown Jewel will go ahead in Saudi Arabia as scheduled according to the Quartley earnings conference call

WWE has operated in the Middle East for nearly 20 years and has developed a sizable and dedicated fan base. Considering the heinous crime committed at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, the Company faced a very difficult decision as it relates to its event scheduled for November 2 in Riyadh. Similar to other U.S.-based companies who plan to continue operations in Saudi Arabia, the Company has decided to uphold its contractual obligations to the General Sports Authority and stage the event. Full year 2018 guidance is predicated on the staging of the Riyadh event as scheduled.

Yeah, just saw this.

Oof...WWE might get some blow back for this.

It would be interested if Cena and DB stayed true to their word and I refused to participate. I'd love to see the changes to the card.

It's a tough call. WWE was pretty much screwed either way.

It'll be interesting to see how they handle Cena and Bryan if the rumors are true they can't perform. Bryan they can probably write off in a storyline... he can be beat up on Smackdown or what ever and usable to perform. But Cena is a bit trickier.

Mayve they can say Cena is unable to attend because the 6th move of doom is banned in Saudi Arabia.

I wonder what the WWE'S sponsors will think about this move.

[XPac]

I wonder what the WWE'S sponsors will think about this move.

I think tne obvious answer is they aren't happy. Though they might not pull if there's no strong public outrage over it.

It's been pointed out all of WWE's main sponsors alo do business with Saudi Arabia, so they can't pull out without being hypocrites.

Vince just doing what Trump wants.

Never thought Vince would be spineless.

vvv This, sadly ... vvv

I dunno but I canceled my subscription with "DOING BUSINESS WITH SAUDI ARABIA" as my reason.

I divested the entirety of my 1% stock and sent a letter to the shareholder meeting yesterday with "DOING BUSINESS WITH SAUDI ARABIA" as my reason for sale. Apparently, I'm not the only one as it was referenced in the shareholders meeting. They had a change of about 17% since the killing happened.

I took part in the mail in, sending DVDs and shirts back to Titan Towers.

If a ton of people do those things, they'll listen. But I doubt it given the WWE base and Trump base are nearly identical.

Sorry to clutter this awesome wrestling thread with political ****.

They chose to make it political.

[mrluck_07]

They chose to make it political.

Exactly! Respect to BeastieRunner tho. On another note would you be down to submit nominations for my WWE-based HOF?

[XPac]

They chose to make it political.

I think WWE is doing its best to NOT make this political by simply running their show as advertised.

Whether or not this becomes a bigger political issue for them will depend on whatever backlash they might receive over this

[Immortal Weapon]

Their first show was a propaganda piece. If such a thing is part of their deal with the country it will be political regardless.
