As much as I'd love to see it, I highly doubt HBK is ever wrestling again. Before Punk left a few years back they had the absolute perfect fit for him with DB and he wasn't going to do it.

 

But hell, maybe I'm wrong and I'll get to see him or Austin next year at Mania but I doubt it.

Raw Gets A 2.33 Rating last night not good at all.

You mean Kane in the main event isn't bringing in viewers??? Don't tell Vince that.

I don't get why people still care about ratings. They're meaningless.

 

And Kane has been amazing with his new character.

Don't disagree but nobody cares about him. He's old and can barely move. Why is he in the ring? I'd rather see some angle with Rollins and Cesaro. Someone new.

Why don't ratings matter again? I personally couldn't care less about them but there's been plenty of reports lately that Vince has been flipping out about them so apparently they do matter. And to each their own on the Kane character I guess. I've found him mildly entertaining at times but the switching from corporate to demon(granted this is a new wrinkle) has already been done to death. Add to it that Kane hasn't been a real threat in ages, they're back to doing silly horror film s*** with his story and the guy can't wrestle anymore and no thanks, he can go away and definitely shouldn't be in the title picture.

Ratings don't matter because ratings are way down everywhere across the board. This isnt from a lack of people watching, it's from people taking their media in different ways. I saw a show on network tv that only got 3 million views but 7.5 million watched it within the first days of airing. That's 150% increase.

 

Live sports are the only genre that don't see that kind of reflection in the ratings. So when your competition is MNF for raw, you are going to get doubly punished if you just look at ratings. First for all the cord cutters out there, and second for the people who are watching live tv, they are watching sports since storyline shows can always be watched later. It doesn't mean you have fewer eyes on your product though.

Rumors that Carlito might be making a comeback with his brothers los matadores?

Yeah hopefully that happens. Wwe desperate for a Hispanic star and I think Carlito could be it as long as he doesn't get lazy again.

Carlito is garbage. Pass.

He turned down a low ball offer a week ago.

Enjoyed the MSG house show. Watching Brock commit murder will never get old. Thought Cena vs Rollins was fantastic and that the cage added another element so it didn't feel like the same match we've seen before.

Felt it was pretty solid as well. Good crowd in MSG as usual. Jericho/Owens was very good.

Matt Hardy is the new TNA champion.

Ugh.

Awful to take the title off the only interesting person in that entire company, not to mention him losing his undefeated streak in a 3-way cluster against two useless WWE rejects. I know EC3 will remain the only part of Impact worth watching, but this is typical TNA bad booking.

I don't even watch TNA and saw that coming. TNA likes to try to create these big moments but they're hallow and mean crap.

EC3 should be champ until that place closes its doors.

PWInsider reports that Vince McMahon was responsible for all the creative decisions made for the Madison Square Garden WWE Network special. The site notes that McMahon has been micro-managing as of late due to the ratings decline and is in control of every part of the company, even more than usual.

 

In addition, despite the talk about Triple H’s control in WWE growing Vince McMahon is still entirely in control and all creative decisions go through him for the final approval. When Creative pitches ideas, the common responses are along the lines of “we’ll have to check with Vince” or “see if Vince likes it”.

Best Austin podcast on network yet. Fascinating guy and straight shooter. I get him.

They actually debuted Breeze pretty perfectly. Hopefully they don't f*** him up too quick.

I agree. Good debut.

He'll be tagging with Fandango in 3 months.

Guess I should actually read up what happened on smackdown.

HIAC was alright. Quite a bit of botched moves tonight.

 

Pretty pumped Del Rio is back and is now the US Champ.
