The Big Wrestling Thread!


Recommended Posts

WZ has learned today that plans for the WWE Network have been put on hold indefinitely. At this point, the network hasn't a single deal signed with cable providers, and while WWE was considering making the network a pay channel, similar to HBO, internal studies have shown less than 100,000 homes would be willing to pay a monthly fee.

Additionally, WZ has learned through sources close to the head of the HR department and the VP of programming, that all hiring for the network has been frozen. In fact, we have been told any new hires that have been made for the network are in jeopardy of being terminated.

Initially, the launch was pushed to November 12th of this year, then to February of 2013, but as of this writing the network is not going forward at all. We've been told WWE failed to realize what a big onset and investment the network would be, and NBC Universal was going to sell WWE part of its Universal HD channel, but WWE balked and wanted its own network.

Now, with no infrastructure set up at all, we've been told a network would be virtually impossible to create in 6-12 months.

[. . .] i must have zoned out at the ending.

That's why we need Good Ol' JR back to react crazily and say things like "OH MAH GAWD! IT'S PAUL HEYMAN. THAT DAMN SON OF A GUN. MAH GAWD." That might have kept your attention :D

I miss JR :(

I think we all miss JR. Yet Vince has to embarrass him time and time again. I wonder what the hell JR ever did to Vince (other than kiss his ass) to get this kind of treatment. He's one of, if not the best commentators of all time, yet he's not on TV, and he doesn't even do PPV's anymore. Oh and I don't count that new gig he does with NXT or whichever show he does now. If he's not on RAW or Smackdown, it doesn't count :D

BAH GAWD HE JUST GOT RIPPED EN HALF!

Wades return was really underwhelming I hope they build him up somewhere along the line

it was a weak return for sure. I like wade and hope hes champ sometime soon

I wouldn't expect him to be champ soon, my guess is they'll build him up and then around wrestlemania time, he might get a shot. Let's not forget, he was supposed to (supposedly lol) win the MitB for SD instead of Ziggler but who knows why they changed their mind. He was cleared to wrestle as far as I know.

...well TNA's already done better than WWE this week; I'm watching it right now, and I've only watched the first match (Jeff Hardy vs. Samoa Joe): what an opener!
