tim Posted March 5, 2016 Report Posted March 5, 2016 http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-republican-debate-fox-news-20160304-story.html FOX News drew 16.9 million viewers for the last debate to see the follow up to the slow-burn Trump vs. Megyn Kelly angle from last August. This was their second highest viewed broadcast ever -- second only to that August debate which drew 24 million viewers. Conclusive proof that the key to a boom is finding one megastar and building around him. It helps that he is in a particularly hot angle that has involved the whole promotion. The cross-promotional Trump vs. Hillary Clinton angle planned for this Fall is sure to draw huge ratings. Quote
Zoo Enthusiast Posted March 5, 2016 Report Posted March 5, 2016 Dude is so fucking over that even bad creative can't derail him. Hottest star since Attitude Era Austin. He is even drawing money in a program with Mitt Romney somehow. Quote
MoS Posted March 6, 2016 Report Posted March 6, 2016 But is he over in the Russo sense, which can hurt the business long-term? Quote
DMJ Posted July 19, 2016 Report Posted July 19, 2016 Watching the RNC...not because I'm a fan, but because it's in my city (Cleveland). A few thoughts so far... I liked Scott Baio in his Chachi and Charles gimmicks, loved Bob Loblaw run, but this aging Hollywood Republican schtick is not nearly as interesting as it could be. Maybe a diva on his arm would've helped? The Lone Survivor got huge pops. Makes me wonder how long it is before one of the GOP bookers thinks about giving him his own push in a small local territory to see if he could ever be a national star...based on the current nominee, a lack of political experience does not seem to be an issue. Like most RAWs, I feel myself getting bored and turning this off before the main event. Quote
Death From Above Posted July 21, 2016 Report Posted July 21, 2016 I've been watching the convention. It's absurdist TV at it's best so far, but Trump will need to basically either be shot or shoot someone on the air to top Ted Cruz trying to steal his thunder followed by that Godfather walk-on.

Memphis Mark Posted July 27, 2016 Report Posted July 27, 2016 Trump is another Jerry Lawler . The Donald can sell tickets to the same fan base for 40 years. Talents like him only come along once in a generation. So Proud ! It really going to get good when he actually wins the election . It is a no contest . The whole thing reminds of Andy Kaufman vs. Foxy ! Quote
Memphis Mark Posted July 27, 2016 Report Posted July 27, 2016 Also now we know that Russians are in Trump's stable. When the Koloffs and Nicolai Volkoff are on your side how could anyone lose. Quote
Johnny Sorrow Posted July 28, 2016 Report Posted July 28, 2016 Joey B, KAINE, and President Bad Motherfucker Obama just Shield style triple power bombed Trump thru a table. Quote
Loss Posted July 28, 2016 Report Posted July 28, 2016 I think most pro wrestling thing about this season is how Bernie Sanders and Daniel Bryan are so similar. Bernie isn't quite the draw of his establishment counterparts, but is hugely over with live crowds and has threatened the top of the card even though he was never the establishment pick. He has gotten the ball rolling toward a different version of Democratic politics just like Daniel Bryan got the ball rolling toward a different version of WWE. There is still some resistance in both cases, but in both cases, we know where it's ultimately going. And Debbie Wasserman Schultz has turned out to be an even better heel authority figure than Stephanie McMahon, actually getting some measure of comeuppance. Quote

I did not catch their promo 's . I was watching a rerun of Dragnet . However , there are no worries. The Donald will just instruct the Koloffs to leak more DNC emails. Quote

Bernie has been more like CM Punk in that he's attracted THOSE PEOPLE as fans that annoyingly hijack other perfectly good segments and they think they are "helping". Quote
Death From Above Posted July 28, 2016 Report Posted July 28, 2016 Incredible that Biden wasn't even the best promo last night. My one concern about them passing the torch to Hillary and... that other guy, whoever he is, is that neither of them is really an all time great on the stick the way Biden and Obama are. Both incredibly strong public speakers that know how to control an audience. Also the ex-CIA man last night was great. He looks like this nice little old man with glasses. Then he starts to talk and he's FIRED UP about the Russians and by the time he's done you're ready to do what must be done to prevent Red Dawn. Quote

NintendoLogic Posted August 1, 2016 Report Posted August 1, 2016 Bernie Sanders is the Zack Ryder of presidential politics. He got himself over by appealing to the smarks, but he doesn't have the goods to be a main event player. Also, how long will it be before Trump starts getting X-Pac heat from the voting public? Cutting a heel promo on a Gold Star Mother has to be the last straw, right? Quote
ButchReedMark Posted August 1, 2016 Report Posted August 1, 2016 Bernie Sanders had all the goods. If anything he's Daniel Bryan. Over here we have the same thing with Jeremy Corbyn even down to the cannibalistic nature of his own party to deny a new, exciting era led by a vegetarian. (Disclaimer: I'm massively biased as I'm a socialist. #VotePlaid) Quote
Johnny Sorrow Posted August 20, 2016 Report Posted August 20, 2016 Thunderbolt Patterson is my favorite crazy old wrestler on Facebook. He post every anti BLM, pro Trump, Jesus has favorites, typical stupid meme there is but also the ones about how we should, and rightly, be proud of Gabby Douglas for her athletic work. He's adorable. Quote
Loss Posted September 24, 2016 Report Posted September 24, 2016 Would be a tremendous hype promo if it wasn't scary as shit: Quote
elliott Posted September 24, 2016 Report Posted September 24, 2016 Every teaser promo on CNN for the debate is SO pro wrestling. TRUMP VERSUS HILLARY! LIVE! THE DEBATE! These are scary times. Quote
Zoo Enthusiast Posted September 24, 2016 Report Posted September 24, 2016 Legendary WrestleMania 14 interviewer Gennifer Flowers will be at the debate on Monday. MSNBC is doing all day coverage. We are nearing peak absurdity at this point. Quote
tim Posted October 9, 2016 Author Report Posted October 9, 2016 They decided to run a really hot angle last minute before the second debate. Quote
elliott Posted October 10, 2016 Report Posted October 10, 2016 I'm trying to come up with a good match comparison for what we're going to see tonight. I thought about Foley vs HHH from the Rumble with HHHillary looking like a best in the world candidate simply by existing near someone jumping face first into tacks for our sick pleasure. But I don't like the idea of comparing Foley to Trump and comparing HHH to Hillary kinda freaks me out because there's some similarities. I also considered Shane vs Taker for the same reasons and because the debate has the potential (certainty) to be laugh out loud hysterical. Foley vs HHH wasn't funny. But maybe that's just me hoping the debate has the comedy of Taker/Shane and not the brutality of Foley/HHH. WWE should really just show the debate. Quote
flyonthewall2983 Posted October 27, 2016 Report Posted October 27, 2016 Vince McMahon has told all WWE employees not to say anything about Trump, regarding his appearances for the company Quote
