Why did the ref fall over

It was just a botch on his behalf.

The intention was that he got kicked in the face by Roode when Bully Ray lifted him up so that he didn't see Roode go through the table.

 

Reminds me of Mark Henry's impeccable power.

Nah, I read some reviews on it and I think I might just wait for an "online" version to surface the web.

Jew Mode [ON] OFF; Not really something I want to fork out $20 for.

If they put it on the WWE Network, I might give it a watch.

That ref takes a better bump than Cena ever has.

TNA Ref vs. Dolph Ziggler. Make it happen.

 

#PushTNARef

 

I ended up seeing this match last night when I was flicking through the channels and just happened to come across it. It was a good match till this point, as the ref bump spoiled it and how they finished the match. I haven't really watched TNA since I saw Hogan and Bischoff show up a few years back but like I said it was a good match with a cheesy ending.

WWE apparently has a net loss of 8 million dollars for the first quarter of 2014. Yikes, that's pretty bad.

I wonder if the WWE network has anything to do with this?

[Shenmue18]

That's what I've been hearing. The WWE Network is a HUGE risk for the company. Especially since it pissed off Dish so much and I think Comcast as well. They'd have to have a LOT of subscribers to make as much money with people watching the PPVs on the WWE Network instead of on actual PPV

More than likely it was spent on bay oil and fake tan. Although with Miz not being TV much these days, they'll probably recoup a large chunk of that in no time lol

[Shenmue18]

Yes, but you'll still have Orton spending about 5 million a month on spray tans. Didn't WWE ban baby oil recently? Or was that a rumor?

I love your signature Codename. I've watched it countless times and it still makes me laugh.

I heard for them to start making money from the WWE Network that they needed around 6 million subscribers. I think 6 million is fairly easy target to reach it that was a figure was for the worldwide audience but I'm not sure if they meant just 6 million in the US.

[Shenmue18]

I believe they only have 600,000 right now. 6 Million is a HUGE number and a big risk for them to take when they don't even get 6 million people watching Raw on a regular basis on free TV.

Like I said I'm sure I read 6 million in a article but I wouln't be willing to bet my life on it. I think if the WWE Network was avaliable worldwide then that mark is more than achieveable, I just dont understand why the WWE Network is only avaliable in North America at the moment as they are blocking out alot of the WWE's fan base by doing so.

 

EDIT: Sorry it was 1 million subscribers they need to break even, not 6 million.

[Shenmue18]

Yeah, not launching it worldwide was a really dumb decision. I think they'll still have a tough time reaching 6 million overall even when they go worldwide with it.

[Crokey]

Last I heard was Canada will be this Autumn/Fall, then The UK and Europe will be early 2015, with the rest of the world in mid 2015, rest of the world being, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, The Middle East and Japan, depending on demand they may also roll it out across South America, South Africa and anywhere else that has demand late 2015.

Close, it's to do with Randal Ortmans weed bill.

 

As for the baby oil thing, it's not banned they finally worked out, that baby oil can make you overheat and wear you out faster and therefore can have serious cardio problems as it blocks your pores so stops you sweating properly, so they advised everyone to stop using it. In my opinion that was kinda obvious, but you know they were trying to keep that Greco/Turkish heritage thing going where they basically bath in olive oil (kinky sods), even though they do something akin to amateur wrestling which is short fall bouts, not professional resstlin' as we know it.

Everyone name your favourite underrated match of all time

 

Brock Lesner vs Eddie Guerrero, No Way Out 2004

Edited May 2, 2014 by Billy james

[Shenmue18]

If I had to pick just one from the WWE, it'd probably be Owen Hart vs Bret Hart at Wrestlemania 10.

 

Many people said the cage match at Summerslam was better, but I felt that the pure wrestling of their first match was a lot better than the drama-based cage match. The Wrestlemania one has more of a re-watchability factor to it as well. Since with the cage match, if you know who wins, it takes a lot of the drama and excitement away from it as opposed to the Mania match where you can sit back and enjoy the great technical wrestling, whether you know the outcome or not.

I'd probably say Kane vs. Goldberg vs. Triple H in the Triple Threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship at Armageddon 2003.

You had the intense rivalry of Triple H and Goldberg with SummerSlam and Survivor Series, add a relentless monster in Kane who just come off an intense feud with Shane O' Mac, you got yourself a damn good Triple Threat.

 

I just think a lot of people forget about that match.

[Shenmue18]

Another match that was really underrated was Triple H vs Chris Benoit from No Mercy 2000. Triple H targeted the knee early on while Benoit targeted the arm of Triple H. On top of his normal offense, Triple H pulled out a Muta Lock, Inverted Suplex and a Death Valley Driver which really shows that he has a deeper moveset than many give him credit for. Triple H and Benoit were both really on their game that night and put on a hell of a match, but it rarely gets the respect it deserves and is often overlooked by fans, not to mention it's obviously never referenced by WWE themselves.

[AznDragon89]

notice anything difference?

[Crokey]

They're seriously taking the piss now.

[Shenmue18]

They're really treating Punk like Benoit. Next thing you know he'll be removed from the description and time stamps for shows on the WWE Network...

[Crokey]

Perhaps Punk has taken his idol Randy Savage so seriously that he's banged Steph and that's why he's been given the black ball treatment

[Hodgey.]

notice anything difference?

 

Got it!

 

They removed the Doritos sponsorship.

[Corndawg93]

There's a contract signing for the WeeLC match on Smackdown FML

 

Kane's giving a tour (package) of all the mean things he's done to D-Bry

 

And Ziggy vs Fagneto is now on

 

And the 3 on 1 US Title match is now a Fatal 4 Way for the US title

DeanBrose wins

 

6.4/10
