He's making 5 million a year to do like 3 matches, he can juice all he wants and doesn't have to train for fights.

"WWE officials have yet to comment on stories of Smackdown moving to Thursday. WWE production trucks going to television this past week listed Smackdown as airing at 8 p.m. Eastern on Thursdays and had new WWE logos and current talent photos.

Syfy has not released its new season schedule. With the lack of a denial, it would appear likely this is an accurate change.

Among those booked for Raw on Monday for the Hulk Hogan birthday bash are Ric Flair, Paul Orndorff, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Jimmy Hart."

Here's the NEW WWE World Heavyweight belt:



...and you can see more on The Network for only $9.99 a month!

Or they didn't want their talent to get paid more by an indie then they were by the number 2 wrestling promotion in the country.

For a network that bought an MMA company, I think that talent exclusivity might be a concern to them. Or at least on their radar.

[wjowski]

He still should have grew a braincell and at least sit down and work some things out with Vince by somehow convince him that he needs a break.

And again, any proof that he didn't is pure speculation.

Also any company had done nothing but lose millions since it's inception has no business calling itself number 2 in anything, unless it's talking about literal fecal matter.

He sure as hell isn't doing anything to make amends.

WWE timekeeper Mark Yeaton was released by the company this week. This is considered a shocking release because he's been the company since the 1980s. This has people worried because it sends the message that no one is safe from budget cuts.

This is legit the same story as a year ago when they fired some ref, except they actually are doing cost cutting now.

[Vibranium]

maybe its just the era we are in, but if you can stay with any job 20+ years, that's a good run

[lancerman]

The new belt looks better, but the black background still sucks. It makes it look cheap not being made out of some type of metal. People can say what they want about the spinner belt, but at least that looked like it was worth something.

Brock does seem to be doing ok considering how serious diverticulitis can get

Yeah.

Maybe if he let people hit him, this wouldn't have been a problem.

Y'know. Actually learn how to fight?

you do know that his medical condition has nothing to do with fighting or learning how to fight

it's an internal thing, its not rare, but its not exactly a common malady, which is why it probably took so long for it to get diagnosed

and I was never invested in Brocks UFC career...I enjoyed watching him toss people around in WWE

much like boxing, UFC is only interesting in the middleweight divisions right now
