WWE Fans

[Love Buzz]

Maybe they are dead because what they are watching is shitty? Oh no, never their fault, always ours.

Raw was OK but I really noticed they had about 160 backstage segments which started to annoy me. Harper was the only real surprise to me (as the team joining stuff was obvious) and frankly they f'd that up by having him say that stupid I'm a team player line which was as fake as Nikki's tits. Rowan should be released right now. He is not going to go anywhere slugging around in a sheep mask. He might be the next JTG.

Fuck Vince.. that promo was just showing an out of touch massive control freak. Put on a better show and maybe fans would cheer and make noise you old tard. The fans aren't doing what he wants so he's gotta come out and trash his paying customers. Get ready for more of Smackdown's "infamous editing" when it airs and hear all these pipe in cheers even though you look at the crowd and they're dead as fuck.

WWE and Alberto Del Rio recently reached a settlement regarding his non-compete clause. The settlement was announced by both WWE and Del Rio.

It's believed that both sides agreed that Del Rio would not make any more negative public comments about WWE, most notably implying racism from top officials in the company and talking about racial jokes that went on. In return, Del Rio reportedly got a financial settlement that included the non-compete being dropped.

WWE has long been worried about keeping their Hispanic audience and officials were very conscious about being tied to any kind of racism against Hispanics.

A source close to the talks between WWE and Del Rio notes that the settlement was last minute. There was reportedly a joint settlement at one point that was expected to include a stipulation where WWE had to issue an apology for inappropriate comments. WWE had agreed to that but then it was taken out of the deal in their written settlement agreement. Apparently Del Rio had already agreed to the financial settlement and the non-compete being dropped so he didn't press the apology issue.

It's also believed that the settlement includes an agreement where Del Rio would not sue the company.

Here's part 2 of the interview with Del Rio that I posted earlier. Del Rio spoke with WrestleTalk TV about the shift, and WWE trying to replicate the success of Mysterio. Fast forward to around the 17 minute mark for the interview.

"There's nobody bigger than Rey Mysterio. He's the biggest superstar to ever come from Mexico," Del Rio said. "My wife even said Rey Mysterio is God, and you're the devil. Even my wife put me in second place."

Del Rio became the company's first Mexican-born champion and had a successful run, including a feud with Mysterio. However, his popularity never reached the levels in which Mysterio did.

"He's an amazing guy, he gave me the opportunity to be in WWE," Del Rio said. "He said that if he was going to do the job, I was the guy he wanted to do it for."

Mysterio and WWE have had an estranged relationship of late, as Mysterio has no desire to return to the promotion. He'd planned on letting his contract expire, but WWE extended it due to an injury clause. Mysterio also reportedly asked for his release in April, and made it known last week that he doesn't plan on wrestling for WWE again.

I'm happy for ADR. I'm sure he has made a lot of money from this. I wish more people would call out on the WWE and openly criticize the way they operate and treat their employees. It doesn't surprise me that the people who run the company are nothing but a bunch of hyprocrites. I have always questioned the real motive behind all the anti-bullying campaigns and Cena-centered charity work that WWE does on a regular basis. Way to distract people, how convenient is that? What are your thoughts on the subject?

[Mordecay]

Well, as a hispanic person it's pretty obvious that I support ADR for what he did, hell, if I knew I was gonna get released I'll go back and beat him a bit more. But I know this is not just for the hispanic community: African americans, asians, even british wrestlers are discriminated in different ways for the WWE officials, so yeah, the company is hypocrite and it surprises me than they don't receive more of this kind of lawsuits (maybe is because they are the biggest promotion).

Some idiot has removed part 2 of the interview. I do see a trailer saying it'll be up sunday though so I guess somebody botched and put it up early?

Bottom line on Mysterio is money. Instead of making new established superstars to sell merch, lets ring the Mysterio cash cow dry and stop him from moving on just cause we can, hahahaha. Great image they are painting there. A few years from now when all the nostalgia guys can't wrestle at Wrestlemania it's gonna suck big time. Dub are gonna be screwed in a few years, probably why they've cheapened themselves so much.

Did someone saw SD yesterday, it felt light in talent (stupid idiots in management that scheduled a live event at the same time) but holy crap that triple threat elimination match for the IC title was awesome, filled with incredible spots, it could end up in the MOTY list.

[Love Buzz]

I've yet to see it so thank goodness I got something to look forward to there. I hope you're not over hyping it lol.

They had a crazy triple threat main event on Lucha Underground in what was otherwise really quite boring. Huge spotfest match and frankly I was not in a good mood, I wanted less spots and more wrestling. It really was crazy.

Something that bothered me with the recent shows I watched is the amount of guys doing the running flip over the top rope to the outside. I must of seen it at least four or five times, it was too much. Just made me think the art of wrestling has changed from telling a story in the ring to a lets try and out do each other spotfest and in my opinion that ain't good.

[Booster Gold]

I saw the second episode of lucha underground. It was not bad for what it is, which is just another low budget wrestling show with dim lighting featuring some former wwe wrestlers. Kind of reminds me of Ring of Honor. I'd rather watch TNA, which has been really good of late.

The video must be blocked in your country. I can't think of any other reason why it would appear to be removed when I can watch it.

Smackdown was generally good and of course the triple threat match was awesome. It's too bad they always put Cesaro in these title matches and he ends up losing badly every single time. Even in this match, Cesaro was the first one eliminated smh.

Oh and I read somewhere that there are more releases coming with Khali and Brad Maddox already gone. I'm not so sure about Brad Maddox though. Is he gone for good or is this just another storyline release?

[Mordecay]

I read somewhere that Mercury and Noble probably will be the next to get cut. Why don't they just let half of the TD cast gone or that E! take care of their paychecks?

[Booster Gold]

That's too bad if they let Mercury and Noble go. I really like them and I think they play their role perfectly as the authority's stooges.

On an different note, I was listening to some new WWE theme songs the other day and I will admit I didn't like some of them. The Shield's theme song was the last song that I thought was really awesome but then again, I believe that was Jim Johnston's work and not by CFO.

This is by far my favorite theme song by CFO and my current favorite manager in WWE.

Hahahahaha... attention, attention!
Les légionnaires sont là.
Les légionnaires sont arrivés
Vive les légionnaires, et vive la France

I would highly recommend WWE's signature sounds documentary featuring the best theme songs and comments from the wrestlers, artists, and Jim Johnston himself. For some reason, I have found this incredibly hard to find. I will post the link here once it is uploaded.
