With regards to Starrcade: At least they are trying to use the name for something. They have had the rights to one of the biggest brands in wrestling history, and outside of putting us the PPVs on the Network, they have just let it rot on the shelf. I would at least hope they bring out some of the wrestlers that were on the original cards back in the day. I'm guessing it wouldn't take much to have AA, Ricky Steamboat, Sting, etc. make an appearance. I don't know if Flair would be an option then but if he is, that is a mandatory appearance

Using that name for a house show seems a lot worse than leaving it on the shelf.

It seems like they only revived it because it's close to Thanksgiving and it's where the first four Starrcade's took place. Perhaps it'll be a Network special.

I kick it around from time to time. It's fun but quite time-consuming if you're as detailed as I am when it comes to taking notes/planning out stuff.

Rumor that WWE invited Cody not Rhodes anymore to participate in Starcade after he publicly complained about diminishing his father's legacy to a house show.

to team w/Goldust vs. The Hardyz. I believe he complained about Goldust not being booked on a show his dad created as Goldy wasn't booked prior to this offer.

Brock Lesnar has a few dates left on his contract for the remainder of this year so, naturally, he will be taking a break and will be off TV for a while.

It appears that the feud with Braun Strowman is done at least until after WrestleMania) if Lesnar signs a new deal with the company). For those of you wondering what’s next when he returns to WWE TV, Finn Balor is next on the list. Balor is booked for a rematch with Bray Wyatt at TLC pay-per-view and Lesnar will be off TV until late October so the match will likely take place at the Survivor Series or the Royal Rumble.

Balor would be considered a bump in the road towards WrestleMania. As previously noted on the site, WWE has big long-term plans for Lesnar at Mania (click here if you want to know who he is scheduled to face at Mania – it’s a spoiler).

So, when will you see Lesnar back in action? He is scheduled to appear at a non-televised event in Winnipeg at the Bell MTS Palace on 9/30. On 10/23 he is scheduled to appear on Monday Night Raw in Green Bay, WI at the Resch Center. And finally, he is scheduled to appear on Raw on 11/13, which is the go-home show for the Survivor Series.

Considering what happened on RAW, I'm not surprised but just the thought of Finn vs. Brock makes me chuckle a little bit.

Bryan/Brock was always a dream match of mine but I laugh at Finn/Brock because 1) I saw Bryan/Morishima which was almost as much of a mismatch and it's one of the best things I've ever seen and 2) Finn doesn't use finesse in his matches. wtf is a feather jumping on Brock Lesnar's stomach going to do?

Possibly belongs in the puro/indy thread but thought more would get a kick out of this:

The Bullet Club went outside the arena of RAW on Monday and was "invading" like DX and the Scope in 98 which looks like it led to this:

Quote:

The Young Bucks have been served with a legitimate cease and desist notice from WWE, according to a Ryan Satin of ProWrestlingSheet.com.

The company is insisting that they stop using the “Too Sweet” gesture. WWE claims they own the copyright and demand that the team signs a document that states the intellectual property won’t be used again. The company could possibly seek $150k or more in damages if the demands are not met.

It’s unknown if the Bullet Club “invasion” prior to this week’s RAW (which can be seen here) had anything to do with the notice being sent.

The team is looking into their legal options. In the meantime, the have debuted a new merchandise logo:

add to this that The Young Bucks (part of BC) wrestled the Hardy's the night before WM and Vince himself called TYB's and asked them to be careful with Matt and Jeff. Lots of lolz to be had.

How is it even possible that that situation presents itself in an MMA match?

Might actually be able to momentarily catch someone with a stunner or an RKO. I'd be more impressed with a figure four...complete with whole setup, signaling to the crowd that you're gonna do it.

The only time I'd welcome a people's elbow or five knuckle shuffle would be in an MMA match.

I speak for myself, personally only, and if it was me I would stand for my national anthem. For my country I would stand. But I and WWE certainly respect the rights of everybody’s first amendment right of freedom of speech, their right to peacefully protest and do what is meaningful to them. Certainly we support that. I question whether there would be a better way to do that, that maybe wouldn’t offend others or something else. Surely we respect that line.

- HHH

So WWE respects the first but Linda's on Trump's administration. Imagine WWE goes to Tribute to the Troops in December and Jordan kneels or sits for the National Anthem. How quick is he fired?

Hopefully he's fired before he can get out of the ring.

Pro Wrestling Sheet is reporting current plans for Bray Wyatt have him playing Sister Abigail in his feud with Finn Balor.

A source told PWSheet that Wyatt is scheduled to wrestle Balor at WWE TLC as ‘Sister Abigail’, similar to how Balor transforms into the Demon character, and Bray would wear a different outfit to differentiate between the two characters.

As far as WWE introducing a female character as Abigail, it was said that is not the case. Last night a post from NXT’s Sage Beckett fueled speculation that a physical character may be introduced, but that appears to have been debunked.
