Wrestling: Postmania VIII: Caught Blading

[Gryphon]

Moderator's note: Continued from here.

I am trying to change the conversation here. Its getting a little aggressive.

[Young Avenger]

Wasnt there a wrestler who couldnt afford the travel expenses because of her low pay and she said it was cause of her health that she missed some shows, but everyone knew that she was just saying that to keep her job?

Madison Rayne.

Taylor Wilde had a part time job working minimum wage at Sunglasses Hut while she was the reigning KO champion.

[Gryphon]

Ah, that was it.

Since most of the people appearing on superstars usually only show up there, why doesnt the E make superstars an actual show, as in a real brand?

The point of Superstars is to give the low card guys a chance to get on TV. Being an interpromotional show is the draw. That would be lost if it were a brand

What I meant was, make it a brand for the lower cards and wrestlers who have made it yet. Leave the big guys on RAW and Smackdown, except maybe one or two for draw power, and all the rest be low profiles.

What your describing is what the ECW brand use to be.

Superstars is like the WWE Afterburn or Metal shows they used to do. Its basically there to give guys TV time we'd never see.

Right now Main Event depth in WWE isn't as ...solid to support 3 Brans anymore. I mean heres the Main Event chart.


EDGE
WADE BARRETT
MIZ
JOHN CENA
UNDERTAKER*
HHH*
CM PUNK
KANE
REY MYSTERIO
JACK SWAGGER
RANDY ORTON
BIG SHOW.


Theres 10 Main Event guys in the company currently , with 2 out injured so far this year. Plus the WWE seems ready to bump Del Rio up and try him in the Main Events and we could see Mysterio likely go out injured again.

I don't think theres enough depth for a 3rd brand here.

Why did that fail, anyway?

Sadly, Jack Swagger doesn't belong in that group. He was dropped from the main-event after his feud with Mysterio. Swagger has been jobbing a lot as of late. He suffered clean losses against mid-card guys like Kofi and Daniel Bryan. He's competing for the IC title this Sunday. Safe to say Swagger ain't Main-event anymore.

You forgot Sheamus

[Young Avenger]

It didn't fail. It got re-purposed as NXT

[C-Cool]

Shifting the discussion away from TNA,

How is ROH latley?

Final Battle is this weekend. Way too many great matches, and one match that's going to be after the ROH title match, but is not going to be officially an ROH match.

PPV of the year material, right there. And that's with the matches that are sanctioned by ROH in the PPV.

There's going to be an Unsanctioned Fight Without Honor at the end of the event. That match is going to be the big one.

Which has been relegated to online only.

So maybe they should bring ECW back.

What ROH dvds are good from this year?

Ok your right about Sheamus thank you.

With Swagger remember , he could be a Miz. It was basically Miz who went on a long losing streak on RAW and rebounded once they realized he was good and should be pushed.

I blame Swagger's demotion on Micheal Hayes honestly. Reports are the young guys wanna walk off the brand and tired of Hayes booking the more established Kane , Edge, Rey Mysterio and Undertaker over them. Its said he's catching fire for the fact even with him booking said guys over the young stars Smackdown usually creates...ratings have went down.

Hayes will likely be axed since the WWE has been firing his writing partners and others .
