Re: WWE Off-Topic

Dirty Dom has signed a new 5 year contract with WWE. He has really become the MVP of WWE, he has wrestled over 100 matches in 2023 and become really trustworthy in the eyes of management. Good on him.

Considering I never gave a single solitary **** about Rey, Dom's improvement and performance the last year+ has been really remarkable. He's so good. And ****ing hilarious.

A crazy turn of events on the infamous "flop dolla" spot from a while back.

People just assumed it was just a botch, but turns out it was much more. Top Dolla said he got himself checked out after that moment because something felt off in his legs. Turns out he had type 2 diabetes, so he had good reason to think something was off in his legs.

Crazy how a simple botch actually saved someone's health.

Changes to the tunnels to allow for more sides, branching paths for challenge areas.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

Rey Mysterio has also re-signed with WWE per Meltzer. So that's Dom and Rey under new contracts, apparently there are big names who are free agents next year like Seth, Becky, Drew, Kevin Owens and more. So the bidding war of 2024 is going to be very interesting even though I don’t expect those names to leave but at least they can use AEW as leverage to get more money. That is a good thing.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

Sam Roberts proposed a pretty cool path. Both Roman and Gunther hold their titles till Bash in Berlin next August. Title v Title main event. Roman would pass Hogan if he holds it through next September so he’d be just weeks shy of that record and they could lean on it even more.

That would be the biggest main event since….?

That is a terrible idea, TBH. The Bloodline has been great and made all the principle characters (the Usos, Solo, Roman & Sami) bigger deals, but the story needs to come to a close soon.

They've stretched beyond where it needed to go (last WrestleMania) and any further they would be risking 'jumping the shark.'

Plus, we/I want to see them build up credible babyfaces to eventually (at this damn point) take both down. Not just making them continual fodder for 2 endless - verging on overdone - reigns.

And Gunther needs to drop the IC title at some point and move on to the main event scene. All of Imperium needs to be pushed up the card (Kaiser and Giovanni winning the RAW tag titles).

I feel like that's a lose lose.

Reigns wins, his steak continues and Gunther gets dethrone by Reigns which will leave a sour taste in fans mouths.

Gunther wins, his streak continues, and Reigns loses his title and Gunther immediately is expected to be "The guy" while also holding the IC title which surely he'll lose at some point (and how do you book Gunther losing the IC title in a way that doesn't hurt the fact that he's still wwe champ)

(Kaiser and Giovanni winning the RAW tag titles).

I don't get how this isn't a thing yet. It's rare in WWE history to have such a stacked tag scene where you could have 2 sets of titles, but this is one of those times. So many teams have been hurt simply because there's only 1 set of titles.

Just vacate the IC title with Gunther moving on to the main event.

Edit: not at all satisfying but it works.

Maj to unified tag titles is like Mercury is to CM Punk.

I usually hate the split tag titles, but the past year+ has proven that we need it right now.

Vince was the main one who hates tag teams (and really only saw them as a way to break guys in before the inevitable "who turns on who" moment and one person becomes a Singles talent and the other fades away, while the singles talent just fades after you took away everything that made them good).

So now we could actually have legit tag divisions.

For a second, I thought this was a Kayfabe News article. This is actually a real story and someone stole the Slim Jar Car that has been used on WWE TV.

Surely it's a publicity stunt...right?

How does someone even steal it? I'd imagine it just got brought in to the arena,used for the ad, then transported back to wherever they got it from? Nobody's actually driving it from location to location?

Re: WWE Off-Topic

Bray Wyatt has been moved to a Legends deal, with his family getting the money.

I definitely think he's going into the HOF (some speculating whether the Wyatt Family goes in, with Bo and Jojo doing the induction while Rowan/Braun do the acceptance speech?).

I wonder if WWE saw what AEW did for Brodie, or maybe someone pitched that idea to them, definitely gotta take care of the family too.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

Bayley is the latest to sign a new contract with WWE per PWI Insider. Bayley joins the list of stars who have re-signed with the company in the past few days. WWE is doing a great job locking up their own free agents in the past few days.

Curious what free agents they are targeting or plan on signing after losing both Jay White and Will Osprey to AEW. Wonder who will they be able to pry from AEW next? MJF? Ricky Starks? Anyone else return?
