2018 Pro Wrestling thread

I think the hall of fame, nxt, raw and smackdown are all at Barclays for Mania 35.

I know msg is hella expensive for tv but it cant sit well with them that Vince has been so cozy with barclays. Loyalty goes 2 ways, if I was them Id be courting ROH too

 

The worst ROH can be for Vince is a thorn to his side. They'll never be a threat for WWE. If anything, the more promotions like ROH & NJPW run bigger arenas, the higher exposure their top stars get. And the more valuable those guys are for Vince when comes time to go sign them. If anything, Vince should be thrilled about this.

 

I honestly don't know if The Bucks will ever jump to the WWE. I mean, they control all of their merchandise right now and they make quite a pretty penny by doing so.

I mean, if they want to do the jump for a few years to "play the big rooms" then I get it, but I don't think they really need it. Kenny's the same way I feel.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't jump. They always say they're happy doing what they're doing, controlling their destiny and selling shirts out of their garage (which apparently is literally true for some of the shirts if what they said on Jericho's podcast wasn't a work).

But from some of the things they say, I think they'd like to have one run up there just to do it. But I think it'll be an all-or-nothing thing. Either Omega and the Bucks go together or none of them will end up in WWE.

 

One thing I’ve learned with the WWE is “never say never”.

Money talks at times.

 

Omega could make a boat load of money working in wwe. The Bucks will probably end up a second tier tag team act on Smackdown.

Sad but true.

 

You know what would really juice their shirt sales? Spending a year or two with the WWE. I mean, the second they join the company, the WWE and them are gonna sell a shitload of shirts. It might then be a frustrating year for them creatively, but it's hard to believe that if you're competitive, you don't want to at least try out the biggest rooms.

 

Since Vince likes to control names, we'll be seeing the Young Ducks in action. They'll be wearing duck outfits and blow duck calls on the way to the ring.

 

Only way they'd ever be a threat is if someone super wealthy bought them and Cena jumped. And even that's highly unlikely since he's loyal to the E.

 

Except then they're only getting a percentage of the profits that they'd have to share with WWE -- probably the smaller percentage -- and right now they're probably keeping most if not all of it.

 

"Highly unlikely" is an understatement. You or I have a better chance of signing with ROH than John Cena does.
