MightyJordan Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) This is easily one of the craziest days in wrestling we've had for a long time, and we haven't even had Bound for Glory yet!

MightyJordan Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Quote PWInsider.com has confirmed that Rockstar Spud will be signing with WWE and will start with the company once all the proper visa paperwork has been completed. The plan is for Spud to be part of the 205 Live brand. Spud, the first-ever winner of the company's British reality competition series British Bootcamp, had been used as a wrestler, personality and even ring announcer over the course of his run with the company from 2012 through 2017. He's an excellent, versatile performer. The recent photo Dixie Carter put out on her social media with a number of current and former Impact company wrestlers and staff was actually from a farewell dinner for Spud, who we are told is heading back to Great Britain while his visa is finalized. https://www.pwinsider.com/article/113436/rockstar-spud-update.html?p=1 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/621597-the-big-wrestling-thread/page/1050/#findComment-598094088 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyJordan Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Quote Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn went against a creative directive given to them before SmackDown last night and we’re told it contributed to them being sent home. Multiple sources tell us Sami and Kevin were supposed to “feed” for New Day following Zayn vs. Kofi Kingston yesterday, but for some reason they didn’t follow directions and left the ring. The PWTorch glossary of insider wrestling terms defines “feeding” as: “The heel’s role during a babyface comeback where he runs at the babyface only to be repeatedly fended off, with the hope that the series of bumps by the heel will generate positive fan heat for the babyface.” Owens hit the ring as soon as the match ended and attacked Kofi as planned. However, he and Sami quickly bailed from the ring. New Day then stood waiting, same for the sound crew who didn’t play anyone’s music, and the segment ended awkwardly when the two wrestlers seemingly went off script by not taking their planned beating afterward. Since publishing the story on Owens/Zayn being sent home, multiple sources reached out saying the duo have been slightly difficult to work with lately and seem unhappy backstage. It’s worth noting that they were both close with recently fired writer Jimmy Jacobs and Neville (who hasn’t been heard from since walking out). http://www.prowrestlingsheet.com/details-zayn-owens-sent-home/#.WgOKmWh-qUk Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/621597-the-big-wrestling-thread/page/1050/#findComment-598094354 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyJordan Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Quote Ring of Honor is getting into the streaming game, as COO Joe Koff announced on Thursday that the company will be launching their own over the top network in early 2018. Koff told a local CBS affiliate that the company has an app coming out in the first quarter of 2018 and explained, “It really became developmentally the right time to do it.” “We saw an opportunity. We had a long discussion about it. We looked at the business model and how it impacts our business. We just felt that this was the time to create our own Ring of Honor stream.” Joe says he’d like to see ROH migrate to streaming full time, instead of the PPV model, but things seem to currently be up in the air. As for what fans can expect from the service, Koff said: “You’re going to see an enhanced Honor Club. We tested it during the Global Wars Tour of streaming house shows to ringside members. You’re going to see a lot more content available, not only to everybody, but certainly in that Honor Club.” http://www.prowrestlingsheet.com/roh-joe-koff-streaming-2018/#.WgeglGh-qUl Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/621597-the-big-wrestling-thread/page/1050/#findComment-598097516 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to him, though; he had a good run for what was supposed to just be a one-off as a jobber.
