No doubt, but he'd be in high demand from basically every promotion and could pick and choose his spots like Jericho does.

Nothing really to do with anything but I saw the Great Khali over here :lol: (he was here for an Indian festival they where having in the city).

He's really nice and genuine (smiles, handshakes etc) speaking of handshakes, yeah he could easily fit his one hand around your head, he's not 7'2 (i'm around 6'4 and I was up to his shoulder so i'd say he's a solid 6'10). His lack of mobility would have to be injury related, not lack of wrestling skill i'd imagine (cause he did look to struggle a bit walking).

I get the feeling that while he is happy to have a good paycheck coming in, he's not particularly thrilled about working for WWE. He hasn't looked totally inspired since he returned, and he spoke so passionately about his desire to do new things in wrestling while he was gone. He appears to be going through the motions in a lot of his matches and promos.


I think he cares enough to not get fired though, If he was serious about actually leaving, he'd already have wrestled matches for CMLL and/or New Japan by now.

These are two different things. I think we can all relate to having that **** job we're not committed to leaving, but behave as if getting firing wouldn't be the worst thing. It's a pretty typical management problem.

I think (I actually have no **** clue - let me be clear about that) he's probably saying to himself "if I get fired over this, I'll be OK with it."

ANyone hear that Jericho and JR are apparently trying to start their own wrestling company? That could be interesting.

Yeah calling bs on it. Neither of them have the money to do that so unless they find a good money mark (Mark Dallas could be a candidate) then idk. Honestly if they were interested they should just go with Impact then tbh.

yeah they'd deifnitley need a backer, funny I was thinking Cuban as well. But WWe needs stiff competition, if they could pull something off it would only improve the product. Especially if they could land the Omega, Cody, Young Bucks of the world, and whoever WWE decides not to properly utilize who leaves.

Wait, is Mark Dallas the working name of Mark Cuban?

That's genius

Ha I'm assuming that's who he meant, but I could surely be wrong

Yeah i meant Cuban, not Dallas (though Mark Dallas being an authority figure wouldn't be the worst thing in the world).

Mark Dallas is the Commissioner of Insane Championship Wrestling (ICW).

Don't know about anyone else, but I'm planning to cancel my Network subscription the day before Crown Jewel and I'm going to let them know that in the survey it always gives when you cancel. Only reason I'm even signed up at all is because they offered me two or three months for a dollar a while back.

I leach off my sisters network sub, otherwise I'd be right there with you. Regardless I won't be watching.

In the past, I've signed up for WWE under several different emails (all technically the same email, as gmail doesn't register periods so you can move them around to change your address while still getting all the emails to your main account) to get free months, at least until they closed that loophole. I've noticed that I've gotten a bunch of emails from WWE to each of the emails I signed up with offering that two months for a dollar deal, and I am really wondering if they are desperately trying to pump up their subscriber numbers prior to Crown Jewel so they can pretend it was a success and continue to justify taking Saudi blood money.

To be fair, that's pretty much what Beth and Renee looked like all night.

I leech off my cousin's account too.
Kobe Bryant was asked who he feels is the toughest opponent to guard in the NBA. Instead of picking OKC's Kevin Durant, Bryant went with Portland’s Brandon Roy.

"Roy 365 days, seven days a week. Roy has no weaknesses in his game."

I get it half price and enjoy it for the on demand content. Though on cable the on demand is brutal. At full price it wouldn't be worth it I don't think

Looks like Cena is officially out of Crown Jewel. Got a push update saying Lashley is replacing him.

Yeah they didn't even explain why either.

I'm torn...I want to watch this PPV because it's a pretty decent card, but on the other hand.... Yeah.
