All Purpose News Thread Part Iii

[Big Poppa Puck]

Kross is and has always been a heaping pile of boring whatever.

Dude should have never been brought back and all his pushes failed because no one in the audience cares.

He goes to AEW it will be the exact same thing.

Literally, this recent stuff ranting about the Logan Pauls of the world has been the only time he's been remotely entertaining and I don't even know if he's just shooting cause he knows his contract is coming up or if he's actually become an interesting character finally.

Ummmm wut Coachman?

Triple H Expected To Depart WWE, Says Veteran – TJR Wrestling

Reportedly, there is a massive power struggle in the company that can result in Triple H's departure.

Coachman has been kind of a bullshitter since he's still bitter about WWE kicking him to the curb a second time, but what he says here might have a bit of merit to it.

We already saw signs of a power struggle last year when The Rock tried to stick his nose into the main event of WrestleMania clearly against Triple H's design given his meddling nearly totally blew up a nearly 2 year storyline. I would wager a good amount of the stuff we've seen with the lousy WM41 main event and Rock deciding he was done with his new toy was probably at least partially against Hunter's wishes. Hunter has his flaws as a booker but he's not that airheaded.

And unlike when he kinda won out against Vince, he's not winning a fight with TKO. They're a soulless corporation that sucks the last dime out of their ventures that cares not for things like fan expectations, roster morale or anything rational. Look at the UFC from when it exploded in popularity and compare it to the soulless husk it is now. If Hunter steps out of line, he's gone. Likely with his wife too.

Coachman is full of shit

 

[sansabri]

i mean, if Dwayne wants to kick HHH out the door for trying to bury him - i've seen pettier things happen

There was also a report that Dwayne was upset last year that he had to charter a jet to get to Wrestlemania as opposed to WWE/TKO sending him one. My brother in Christ, you are on the board of directors. It’s your board. Just put the call in.

how does he not have his own private jet? I thought he was the Final Boss, that seems like the title of a guy who would have his own jet

He does have one, he just didn’t want to use it.

WOR: Is WWE cooling down from their hot streak?

Most important blip in this has Meltzer talking about the continued corporatization;

"I expect ads on ring gear soon. If there’s blank space on screen, TKO wants to monetize it. TKO’s business is to sell sponsorships. That’s their real priority now. We’ve already got sponsored matches, sponsored segments, they'll put logos anywhere"

And then as a sorta-joke;

"It’s going to be even more intense. They’re trying to turn every frame of WWE content into an ad vehicle. If they could sell a sponsorship for the pyro, they would.”

They’re supposed to have accessories or something on them too. Like a patch you see for special events. And then you’re supposed to be able to buy the replica. I don’t know how that makes any sense but..

Sounds terrible, but Ric Flair announcing he's been diagnosed with cancer right after talking shit about JR's cancer is... Fitting.

 

[Sheppy]

I'm still laughing at HHH saying that R-Truth's return was in the plans

Like come on, dude. No it wasn't.

And didn't some of the bullshit with Flair start after someone, maybe even JR mentioned that Flair was having a treatment for skin cancer or something and Flair just denying it ?

I'm not sure. I had watched a video (Possibly Solomonster) where the possible reason cited was JR recently telling a story about Flair showing up to a party, going into the bathroom, and coming out in nothing but his open robe with a hard-on.

Weird that Flair would get upset about something like that though... He normally takes pride in being a pervert.

The legacies of both Flair and Hogan would have benefitted by them checking out 10-15 years ago

Well, you have a select group of crazies who want to assign Hogan's downfall to the politician he endorsed, and not 40 years of being a shit human being and a pathological liar coming out as popular knowledge.

Though it's weird that people are more ready to jump on Hogan for saying racist shit and not Flair for literally bragging about f***ing underage girls. Yeah, Hogan said some awful shit, but I think actually having sex with high schoolers still trumps that.
