That's cool. I'll have to take my son that year. He's been dying to go to a WM. I went to 25 in Houston. That was pretty fun.

Wondering how much the main event'ers will be getting this go round. A lot, that's for sure. WAAAAAY backin WM VII, guess what Ultimate Warrior got...? At least $550,000...

...this was after the Warrior kind of went off on Vince and made demands.

And after WM VII Vince suspended the Warrior (Jim).

So "The Road to RassleMania" aired, and looks like a returning Batista won for a chance to main event at RassleMania.

There is a YouTube posted of a pretty epic meltdown by a fat dude when it happened...some woman was taping him and laughing at him. Hilarious. Can't direct link due to language content, but if you want to see it just search for

People still watch WWE?

Ah, got it. Thanks.

 

[Phoenix]

People still watch WWE?

A few. Enough for them to create their own television network which is premiering soon.

As I kid I liked it. I'm not really sure why adults would religiously watch it though, knowing it is fake.

It's more popular than ever. I watch Raw and Smackdown each week with my son. In fact they have a house in our city show this Saturday and we are going. My son can't wait to see Bryan and Cena. I'm more of a Wyatt Family and The Shield kind of guy myself.

You do not watch movies or TV?

Well that's different. People believe that WWE is a real sport. That the "drama" going on is real and the hits are real.

I mean that's great to watch with your son but would you watch it if your son wasn't interested?

Who?

Not in a long long time.

Wouldn't say it's more popular than ever, but it's a more viable company than it has ever been. Made about 3k off the stock myself since September aha, and they've still yet to announce their new TV deal which is expected to more than double TV revenues (likely triple).

A few. Enough for them to create their own television network which is premiering soon.

It's an online, Netflix-type "network". $9.99 per month and their cannibalizing PPV sales to do it. They need about 900k subscribers for it to make financial sense, not impossible given the archive.

Nobody believes it is a "real" sport. Nobody. But a lot of the physicality is absolutely real. They do a pretty fantastic job of limiting serious injuries by having such great choreography and scripting, in fact, as well as other things to make it look real.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

Something must be real in all that somewhere. I saw Hulk Hogan once in an airport & he could barely walk & looked like a cripple. I don't know a thing about him but he was in bad bad shape. I guess in all that fake there are many real injuries. To his credit he had stopped in the concourse & was signing autographs for kids & people that had asked.

Twitterverse is exploding this morning with news that CM Punk has retired from WWE, telling Vince McMahon at Raw this past Monday that he was "going home". And he left. He also skipped out on his scheduled appearance at the Smackdown taping. After that, he has been removed from "virtually all" of his upcoming appearances for WWE, the lone exception being the Elimination Chamber match.

I was wondering what was going on with him. I know he wasn't happy lately...and then on Saturday night, Fox showed him in the audience of a MMA fight, the night before the Royal Rumble, and I started wondering....hmmm....

I'm not sure if this is a work or not.
