I’m hoping Vince is so infatuated with the XFL that will relinquish his WWE duties to triple h or something.
 
wow @ that...

Since they said Vince does nothing but wwe and workout, he will never read that interview... so they should be safe, otherwise he’s gonna take creative and snap on em and break em until whoever said that speaks up...

Vince looks so detached. You could see it when he announced the wild card rule. If they can get him medically evaluated, they can pry the Control away from him
 
Impact wrestling still ain’t shit


According to a source speaking with Wrestlezone, everything said in the initial report by PWInsider.com regarding Killer Kross and his contract status, including his attempts to renegotiate and remaining professional, is ‘100% true.’ It was noted by the source that Kross was seeking a salary comparable to some of the higher-level talent currently on the IMPACT roster, some of which are bringing in the six-figure salary he was reportedly requesting for himself.

Kross does appear on IMPACT as often as some of the talent he’s looking to be paid equal to, but IMPACT’s counter was much lower than expected, which was less than half of what he was seeking. An exact number was not mentioned, but it was said to be ‘less than a NXT entry level deal’, which is normally $45,000 per year.

Wrestlezone was also told that a number of the multi-year deals—including the one Kross is locked into—currently being offered are low paying, and often see talent losing money due to travel costs associated with their appearances for the company. These deals see talent making anywhere from $250-400 per appearance, with no guaranteed minimum amount of appearances included in the deal. In addition, it was stated that while there are a number of people in the company that have guaranteed downsides and are making good money, only a couple of them are making a livable wage based on their current pay rates.

Under these deals, talent are flown to the IMPACT TV tapings / live events on basic economy level flights, and are also paying out of pocket for their own luggage, rental cars / Uber transportation and hotels. The situation was described as wrestlers ‘literally losing money’ after compensation and expenses, with several talents saying they were making as little as $3000-5000 for the year (with IMPACT, not including their independent bookings) before taxes and expenses despite being on a majority of the shows.

Talent are still able to make more money through independent bookings, but it was described as a situation where IMPACT officials are not going to be granting any releases at this time and expect talent to honor the deals.

TNA just can't get themselves together, I didn't expect the talent to be making WWE main roster money but they barely making NXT money.

I would like to see Tessa Blanchard and Kiera Hogan somewhere else
 
Becky Lynch will be on the cover of the next 2K game... 2K really wanted her badly on the cover...

Apparently the guy in charge of 2Ks team feels they are uninspired by making the new WWE games and its showing so he is going to put out a rival game for it to be different and put a spark on 2Ks ass to put out better quality games.

* Triple Threat for the WWE Title: Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens vs. Kofi Kingston (c)

* Tables Match for the WWE Universal Title Baron Corbin vs. Seth Rollins (c)

* 1-on-2 Handicap Match: Roman Reigns vs. Shane McMahon and Elias

This is an updated listing for the pay-per-view. We noted back in late April that the arena was advertising Reigns vs. Orton, Styles vs. McIntyre and Corbin vs. Rollins without the stipulation.

Other Superstars featured on promotional material at the arena website include SmackDown Tag Team Champion Daniel Bryan, Bobby Lashley, RAW & SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Braun Strowman and Sasha Banks, who is likely listed due to the banner being dated as her WWE status is still up in the air.
 
I could have sworn they told us Baron Corbin was the blame for the crap they was putting out and now they putting him in main event ppv title matches

All the matches highlighted I have -10 Interest in ever seeing. I swear AEW will be that much refreshing with stupid cards like these.
 
I like Corbin. I don’t understand the dislike for the guy.

and this means McIntyre might win the mitb... I see Orton in the other one too, so he might win...

But Drew deserves it

with the 2k thing coming up, Becky retains both titles and keeps em for a minute longer...

spoilers everywhere lol

Ehh Drew and Corbin both have trash personalities tho neither guy has the next level personality imo to be a "star". I respect Drew for going out and crafting his talent but he was booked way better in TNA and still fell flat.

To be fair Corbin is perfect just being a little pest as a side show act, not pushed or taken serious. He does fine at that. WWE needs a jobber on the roster like that.
 
They should have kept Corbin as the Lone Wolf, just come out kick ass and leave. They messed him up by giving him a mic and then feeding him to Cena
