Wrestling Thread 3: Dan vs. Cam • Page 1009

Apparently hurt the same knee as his ACL injury

 

Big guys with ACL injuries usually don't recover. His career is in major jeopardy, bummer.

 

To really breakdown how bad the UFC draws on FOX

They've had 29 big FOX events.

Only 5 have done over 3.7 million viewers. (all 5 of these came in 2013 or before) With the first one (a heavyweight title fight, surprise) drawing nearly 6 million.


UFC on Fox has been a gigantic failure. And the WWE will probably destroy Friday nights with SDL in the 8-10pm slot

 

Cass apparently isn't injured. He did the whole limping thing during every house show.

 

The problem with UFC on Fox is that the cards are always shit. Their big name fights are always going to be on PPV. No effort to create stars, whatsoever.

 

wouldn't someone who is hurt do that? lol

 

didn't Cass tap to a leg submission by DBry on Tuesday? i didn't see it. if that's the case, could be a work

 

Pretty obvious its a work by how WWE is posting about it

 

fuckin marks

 

Big Cass's career is in trouble because he's an atrocious wrestler with an abysmal look and forgettable promo 'skills.' Like, he's legit just tall. That's it.

 

Kevin Nash ultra lite

 

Isn't there a plan for significantly less PPVs for UFC in the future though? That could really help their Cable shows.

 

Fox and WWE Close to Massive Five-Year, $1 Billion Deal for 'SmackDown'

ONE BILLION DOLLARS

also says they got bigger offers from other parties but Fox was committed to promoting it like with their other sports so definitely Fox proper

 

yeah, he's kevin nash ultra lite in the same way that I'm vader ultra lite

 

Fox on Fridays isnt a great spot. Masterchef Junior does like 3million viewers, 9-1-1 does barely 2 million. Meanwhile the CBS shows do 2x those numbers.

The good news is if they even hold steady-ish in ratings, they'll be good for a while. Odds are they'll go up

 

I'm really surprised they aren't shopping NXT for that kinda money.

 

Absolutely making a beer called Vader Ultra Lite.

 

you are welcome.

 

God damn, 3x the money. Brock is gonna be Universal Champ til he dies once he sees that the paychecks can keep coming.

Also, maybe we'll get pyro back!

 

The rumor was something like 4 big PPVs a year but the problem will still remain.

Those cards will be filled with multiple title fights and headlines by Brock/Conor/GSP/Cormier/Stipe

 

I want to see Joe in MITB over Bryan. Hope that doesn't make me a bad person

 

Bryan and Cass are gonna fight forever.

 

i know he's fine now but i feel like i'd still get really nervous watching bryan in a ladder match right now

 

If Im Fox, Id want RAW to anchor one of my nights, Smackdown for that Friday, and NXT + 205 Live for FS1.

Im betting RAW moves to Fox as well if they are willing to pay that much for Smackdown

 

Cass is obviously interfering tonight to cost Bryan the match
