It's an interesting look, clearly Vince hasn't a god damn clue what he's doing.

Thing is it's Vince's baby. If he were to step aside I wouldn't be astonished if he sold it; especially when it's worth more than it was only a few years ago.

J. Marston

The liking and unliking of tweets thing seems a bit too work-y.

I'm probably giving WWE far too much credit but it would be interesting if it was sowing the seeds for a slow build to a battle for power between HHH and Vince, leaving Vince to focus on his XFL silliness.

Such a feud would be Shane & the lock box mcguffin. Then swiftly forgotten about the next week.

CastorTroy

Was just thinking, for Lars to get a $100,000 fine, what kind of money is he actually on?


On another note, I was just looking at who signed with the WWE lately and see names like former Impact guys, Trevor Lee and DJZ. And reading that Ivelisse had a tryout recently. Others there as well that I wouldn't know too well and a couple from the Mae Yound Classic.

Agent Coulson

Ye that's a Kayfabe fine if there ever was one.

Vince will probably have him beat Kofi soon.

That fúcking lockbox.

I retract that possible storyline. No way they have smarts to do it well.

CastorTroy

I think Miz should've stolen the lockbox and threaten to open it. Have it come up multiple times but no one actually reveals what's in it.

sky88

I’d be very surprised if trips actually uses his Twitter account probably a rouge intern

Punishment probably consists of listening to Steph ramble about the Womens Revolution and her self congratulating...

sky88

more of trips being frustrated

ERG89

Poor Shane lol
HHH can be frustrated but Vince could equally retort that the guys going into the performance centre don't really improve. Sure they have good matches but there is not enough character development or promo skills being improved for what their final destination ultimately is: WWE television

Interesting

J. Marston

I doubt WWE are pulling in many viewers for Sky but it's another long time exclusive gone from them. They are dying on their arse.

Itssoeasy

So that'll be a thirty year partnership ended if it's true. Sky sports is dying on its arse and WWE aren't that great at the moment. When does the current sky and WWE deal end does anyone know ? Also it seems sky aren't happy about the WWE network affecting their PPV buys. If sky are thick over that then they are idiots. The WWE network was in the works since 2012 and WWE said they told sky about it. The PPV channels in America got over it.

sky88

never thought id see the day wwe is not on sky

BT is a bit harder to get for most people is it??

PTH2009

Amazing news

Isn't Bt going to be apart of the sky sports sub soon ?

Bandana boy

Is this BT's reaction to losing UFC !
I know there is some overlap in fans but not much I would have thought

ricero

Ufc is still on bt sports as far as I am aware

RollieFingers

UFC has been back on BT since the start of the year. Never watch Raw or SD on Sky, gave up even bother recording it and just caught anything interesting on YouTube so makes no odds to me. More interested in the proposed tiered options that will supposedly be made available on the network.

UFC is back on BT after Eleven Sport went belly up.

martyos121

That's not true at all mcdaids. BT signed a new multi-year contract with them beginning in January.

Pretty sure Bein don't even broadcast legally in the UK, usually just found on streaming boxes.

gerrybbadd

Id be happy with BT - i get it for free on my Eir TV package. (When it fúcking works, that is)

That contract ends with Eir during the summer and Sky will now be Broadcast partner for BT going forward in Ireland.

Alexa Bliss is not cleared medically to compete on Sunday according to wwe twitter

sky88

so is this legit or is sasha coming back

if legit how many matches has alexa actually wrestled in the last year

https://twitter.com/WWE/status/1129054919657496579?s=20

ERG89

Suitable replacement = don't get your hopes up

sky88

ahh god this isnt good after his problems last year

https://twitter.com/TMZ/status/1129055668000870400?s=20

J. Marston

Nikki Cross, I assume. Guess that's why she was given the win on Raw.

Not as dramatic as TMZ are making it out to be.

i suspect she was never going to appear in this match in the first place. it's becoming increasingly suspicious as to why she isnt wrestling. is it related to possible concussion issues? whatever is going on, it doesnt sound good

Itssoeasy

It seems the alexa bliss injury is a concussion which means she's had a few in a relatively short space of time. If I was her I'd be worried whether her in ring career might be done. I mean Christian was forced to retire because of a situation like this.

Well I'd take the word of Conrad over that of TMZ's clickbait horse****.

sky88

If it was as serious as first reported I doubt Conrad would be doing a starrcast promoting interview

Angron

Did she have demons? Is their any cause of death?

Afaik yes, drugs, allegations of prostitution and some other troubles.

Jesus! What drugs was she into? Roids seems the obvious one. Hadn’t heard of the prostitution ones

Omackeral

Poor girl. Other superstars are alluding to her fighting battles. Take from that what you will. She has a teenage daughter too who has probably lost her best friend. Tragic all around. RIP.

What? She was hardly musclebound. I'd say more the party drugs. Disco biscuits. Sneachta
