KO, Sami, and AJ were all in their videos, sooooo

 

damn

 

So petty

 

lol WWE is pathetic

 

Jacobs for next ROH champ

 

Uhhh why don't I know who he is

 

WWE is so petty.

 

Man that would be great if he showed up at RoH tomorrow night.

 

Man, there has to be some millionaire smark out there that can try to create the next WCW so WWE at least has to think about it before treating their employees like shit.

 

this is how you know if i win like $300 mil in the lottery or something

 

I love the whole "Remix the faction theme with a personal twist" thing NXT does for Nikki and Dain's themes

 

It would be nice to see them have real competition. WWE gets away with so much because of the monopoly.

 

I think you would realistically need closer to $500 mil. Maybe more

 

How much did lucha underground spend?

I feel like you get their roster and in ring way of doing things, but actually market it right, have merch for your wrestlers, don't screw your talent over with shitty contracts... and you've got a solid enough product that the smarks will tune in and you can start the entice WWE talent away

would need to get on a better network to distribute as well. But as long as you can achieve some decent level of weekly product, you can probably work out a deal with netflix that doesn't cost you anything.

 

Obviously that's where you come in. We're 60/40 partners on this venture and you're the heel authority figure.

 

lol so are we going to mention starting a new thread periodically but not actually doing it?

 

LU is definitely not the model. They spend like $500k/night, but tape their whole season in like 4-5 nights. So its way cheaper than true episodic TV, but also screws them if someone gets hurt (see: Ivelisse/Angelico), and creates bad blood with talent when its 1.5yrs between tapings. The fact they never made a touring product says a lot about their ownership though

 

Was just rewatching Fight Owens Fight; he's such an integral part of the first half of that DVD. I gotta believe he's done the writing/creative work on a lot of Sami/KO's stuff. I know he came up with The List.

 

new champ is preppy. i think you already have a belt. let me know if you don't

 

The model was wrong for a wrestling promotion, but correct for a television show. You are right that it shouldn't be the model, but it did what it set out to be.

Now there have been offers to go ahead with the show, but it would be at a fraction of the cost. Its hard to say if that could ever work.

 

Still want the new thread to be called threaddy long.

Germans really do not have humor :(

 

Neither does henry so it will prob suck.

 

I think i was out of the country last time I won, didnt realize it til weeks later

 

Congrats bro. Im so happy for u
