Strummer Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 I'm not really surprised Stephanie had to be cajoled into a diplomatic response. She's a great heel, but sometimes a genuine nasty streak comes out on TV. Her promos when Heyman first returned and that Dusty/HHH promo come to mind. Heyman thing is obvious but I think she had residual anger against Dusty because apparently he was difficult to deal with during his brief run on the creative team. Dusty even mentioned this during his HOF speech
sek69 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 I don't think it's a coincidence Dusty hasn't been allowed in front of a live crowd after the incident where he cut her off mid promo.
Childs Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Brock looks like he's gone: http://www.mmafighting.com/2015/2/26/8111563/lesnar-reaches-contract-impasse-with-wwe The story really doesn't say that.
Strummer Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Stephanie McMahon is doing a twitter Q and A right now. Oh man the possibilities ...
Strummer Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Stephanie McMahon @StephMcMahon · 19m 19 minutes ago “@earthdog: #AskSteph Why are there no writers credits for WWE programs? #31to31” an effort 2 give as much content as we can 4 our audience! Huh?
sek69 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Either she's drunk or not actually reading the tweets she's supposed to be answering and copy/pasted the wrong response.
tofu_chipmunk Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Either she's drunk or not actually reading the tweets she's supposed to be answering and copy/pasted the wrong response. I took that to mean that credits would take up screen time now dedicated to on-air content, i.e. "We give you more Superstars in action instead of names against a black background." That doesn't imply I think it is a good answer. :-)
sek69 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 The funny thing is if that is what she meant it would make her come off worse, as if the people making the show aren't worth sacrificing the .05 seconds it takes to tack credits on at the end (most shows either run them at an unreadable speed). Hell, USA does that double box thing on most shows where the end credits of the previous show and the title of the next one run side by side.
tofu_chipmunk Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 It's a better looking answer than "The writers are 2 embarrassed 2 attach their names 2 all this stuff that was changed at the last second by my Dad."
Timbo Slice Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Yeah, looks like I was jumping to conclusions on Brock. Still, found it interesting that he no-showed due to the contract issue.
Jmare007 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 So PWInsider is saying they reached WWE for a statement regarding Rey - who is now in the alumni section - and they said he's officially no longer with the company.
shoe Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 So PWInsider is saying they reached WWE for a statement regarding Rey - who is now in the alumni section - and they said he's officially no longer with the company. Observer is reporting this along with a AAA press conference on Tuesday.
The Chief Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Not much of a surprise and I don't think his body had anything left to give to WWE, but it sucks that Rey in WWE just kind of fizzled out. He's deserving of legendary status.
anarchistxx Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 It is a shame it fizzled out, especially since Rey is such a popular character and one of the only pure babyfaces they have left - imagine the rub if a heel retired him or forced him out of the company at Wrestlemania. Could have been a fantastic spot for Seth Rollins and they would have had a great match. Even a swansong against Daniel Bryan would have given them both something to do and guaranteed a show stealer. Seth Rollins retiring Rey Mysterio and cashing in Money In The Bank in the same night would have made him a star.
KrisZ Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Real sports used to show credits on their telecasts but quit doing it years ago
The Chief Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Real sports used to show credits on their telecasts but quit doing it years ago WCW did too!
artDDP Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 It's a better looking answer than "The writers are 2 embarrassed 2 attach their names 2 all this stuff that was changed at the last second by my Dad." They could just show Vince McMahon's name in size 42 font.
cheapshot Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 Real sports used to show credits on their telecasts but quit doing it years ago WCW did too! My first contact with names like Craig Leathers, and realising Eric Bischoff was more than a B Level announcer. Also the credits on Worldwide in 1993 confirmed David Crockett was still working for WCW.
goc Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 For some reason I suddenly really want to see the Usos face off against some new team of Wild Samoans.
sek69 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 At this point I'd watch them face off against the original Wild Samoans if it broke the cycle of "two teams face each other 100 times in one month" WWE seems stuck on.
Mini Bennett Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 Considering Samoa and Tonga are interchangeable in pro wresting, you guys can look forward to the Uso's vs. Camacho and Tama Tonga.
Strummer Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 At the MSG house show tonight Hogan got his own banner that will hang permanently in the rafters next to the Knicks and Rangers retired jerseys. That is actually super awesome. Bruno probably deserves one too
cowboy hats Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 Not permanently, will just be put up during wwe events
