I think there's some money in that Where's JTG gimmick. Score Jr thought it was hilarious and then proceeded to reel off about 30 different scenarios.

By the way, JTG has talent. But explaining to the Universe he's been around but rarely used is a big fart on the national stage. However, if only they had a network.......... |

I refuse to believe that there is anyone who wouldn't find "JTG hiding under the ring and then running away before Johnny Ace can fire him" funny.

JTG could become an accountant, shake his head, wear a bulletproof vest, and cripple anyone with a bunch of tattoos. Which means the entire roster would be on notice. |

I don't know if they're on the second Sin Cara or more but it feels like this is like the 10th one. Maybe it's just me.
So I feel like they should do a "Who's Sin Cara tonight?" gimmick.
But I would only want other wrestlers to wear the mask but keep their normal ring gear on otherwise. Just like a real obvious deal, way over the top as far as not trying to hide who it is, but I would still like the announcers to tongue in cheekly say it's Sin Cara.
I'd have this rotate from wrestler to wrestler on a weekly basis.

I'd also like to see "Rouge Announcer - Michael Cole"
Vince is in Cole's ear from gorilla, when suddenly Cole goes "No Vince, I'm not gonna plug the Network again. We just did that like 2 minutes ago. Can we please concentrate on the match for once? Oh hey, I know Vince. Maybe I should tell everybody that if they get the Network, their personal entertainment level will go up by 100%. And then a few months from now we'll tell them that even though their entertainment level only went up by 25%, it's still an increase. You like that one, Vince? Should I run with that?"
Just stuff like that.

The KS idea is pretty great. Oh my goodness. But he'll hate why I like it. This is an entertainment show. It could start out as a bit, and slowly build. You never know who's going to show up! Ultimately, it's a returning star that wins at least the IC title. If it was built properly, it could be a Black Scorpion deal. Except it's explained it's a different guy every time, but they keep winning. The last guy wins a title. Why? Tune in to find out.

Just stuff like that. No. Russo tried that stuff. Even hardcore fans decided to watch 90210. I mean, not that it's a horrible show. Worked shoot stuff adds four pages to our live threads. The average fan can't figure out what the fuck is going on. Let alone the horrible general public you're trying to make a viewer. None of it draws money. In turn, we won't ultimately like it. We'll mark out when it happens, and bitch two weeks later. It does nothing for the show. |

Sorry guy. I'm pissed off tonight. Should be asleep. I'm actually gaining steam on your idea. But they have to be careful with their words right now. Got it. One random statement, and let it roll from there....
COLE: "YES, VINCE AND EVERYONE, MY DAUGHTER WATCHED THE NETWORK FOR FOUR HOURS LAST NIGHT. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO TELL PEOPLE TO ORDER IT! In case you didn't know, we sometimes have voices in our ears. I don't want to promote the WWE Network now. If you haven't figured it out, that's on you. Best value in entertainment. Can we focus on Big E and his opponent in the ring?"

Let Twitter tell you what to do. If it takes off, go further. Otherwise, you've done an edgy shoot that should actually get people to signup. Again, Cole isn't our guy. But the Network target audience probably gives him an eleven percent "like" ratio. New subscribers.

Didn't they do that with Joey Styles when he "quit"?
If you do a rogue announcer gimmick, he can only call out Vince or "Paul" once. Then he's relegated to backstage interviews or something until a babyface stands up for him and fights for his job.
Problem with that is I'm not sure Cole can be a sympathetic character for fans to want him to get his job back.
Maybe have Lawler do it instead.

JR is probably the only guy that could get people to care enough. When he went rouge, the crowd went to piss. |

The latest edition of WWE Magazine, which is cover dated June 2014, is promoting Chris Jericho as a "current superstar."
An article in the magazine promoting this year's Money in the Bank PPV covers four superstars who have a lot of history in Money in the Bank matches but have yet to retrieve the briefcase. The names mentioned are Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston, Christian and Chris Jericho. The article seems to imply that Jericho is returning to the ring at this year's event, and the following is an article quote:
"Already with a Hall of Fame-worthy career, Jericho could still use a win at this event to make us forget about some lackluster recent returns to the ring," states WWE Magazine. "A contract cash-in would be just the thing he needs to net him a seventh World title also."
Recent reports have noted WWE wants to bring Jericho back, and they even contacted him about a return recently, but Jericho declined as he was too busy with other projects at the moment. Jericho did note, however, "I have a good relationship with the WWE and there's no animosity, but it's not like we're calling each other every day finding out what we had for dinner that night."

From listening to him as well as reading quotes from him, it's clear that Jericho was/is still rather pissy about his program with Fandango.
I believe he's very reluctant to come back unless they can give him something fairly awesome to work with.
The Fozzy tour is currently only booked through May. A new album is dropping this Summer and most bands start touring once their album drops.
If he is coming back, he appears to have a short window in which to do so.

I love the fact that he is pissed that Fandango didn't go anywhere with that rub. Jericho basically admitted (as he should) that everytime he comes back its to put over someone and thats totally cool with him. I think he's pissed at everyone at fault for Fandango going nowhere. Unfortunately it has been a common theme with new guys getting huge opportunities early on. Look no further than Curtis Axel who got Triple H right off the bat on his re-debut. |

Linda passed out in the garden. Mom putting the girls down for their nap. Steph's sundress ready to come off. Still no sign of Vince. Maybe in Knoxville. Fire up the jet Page. We're going to Tennessee. Plane ride will definitely get Raw. Fuckin' A.

This Day In Wrestling History - May 27
Date: May 27, 1996 (18 years ago)
Feature: Scott Hall debuted on WCW Nitro as an unnamed "outsider" crashing WCW TV shortly after leaving WWF/E. At the time, the plan was for an implied "Team WWF" to consist of Hall, Kevin Nash, and a third man of ... Lex Luger fighting against "Team WCW," which would recruit Hulk Hogan to fight against the Hall & Nash team. An amazing turn of events from what was planned versus what happened just a few weeks later at Bash at the Beach
PWTORCH #390: COVER STORY
Hall makes Nitro debut, says he's there to take over
By Wade Keller, PWTorch editor
WCW had been waiting for the moment Scott Hall could debut on Nitro, for that moment would begin a master plan to turn the WWF's mockery of WCW in WCW's favor.
Hall debuted on the May 27 WCW Monday Nitro by walking out of the crowd in jeans and a denim jacket. He interrupted a match and said over the house mic that he goes wherever he wants and he is in WCW to take over. Later he challenged "Billionaire Ted" to present three of his toughest wrestlers to face "us."
That "us" is they key to WCW having one of it's best summers ever. The "us"' is three wrestlers - Hall, Kevin Nash, and Lex Luger. Nash will show up and join Hall. They will tease that a third member of "Team WWF" (they, of course, won't actually be called that, but it will be implied strongly) arrived last September and has been spying for them, infiltrating WCW so-to-speak. When it is revealed that Luger has been a "WWF spy" all along, it will explain why Luger has jumped from one camp to another in a seemingly endless, directionless storyline - i.e. so he could infiltrate WCW on all fronts.
By having "Team WWF" rip on WCW in their interviews and having them refer to the characters the WWF spent so much time getting over in their Billionaire Ted skits to mock WCW, it is in effect WCW finding a way to profit off of the WWF's mockery of them. In that way, WCW can stake claim to the biggest laugh yet in the Monday Night Wars.
But, from a storyline perspective, Hulk Hogan is slated to get the last laugh. Rumor has it that "Team WWF" (Hall, Nash, Luger, DiBiase) will end up getting the better of "Team WCW," including most notably Sting and Randy Savage. It will be after a period of weeks or months of "Team WWF" getting the better of WCW that Hogan will return and "save the day." The plan is for Hogan to then soundly end up the victor and symbolically beat the WWF - something he will take great satisfaction in after the way the WWF depicted him as "The Huckster" in the skits on Raw. If WCW plays their cards right, it should be an eventful and profitable summer and fall.

Thank God they switched that up. Although if they did run with the original idea, the nWo doesn't get so big that it destroys the company.

I don't believe the spoiler. The interview was either done months ago when things were different, or a plant to get people to buy the PPV. Or event. Whatever they call it now.
I've read reports that said Batista last appearance on Raw was this past Monday but then I saw reports where he will be on one more. I still bolieve that will be when he is given the thumbs down.
So at that point:
1. Sheamus is the new Evolution member. (If Evolution even stays together) Seems doubtful he would get that severely heelish beatdown from Cesaro just to himself turn heel at Payback. Though he supposedly is Triple's buddy and fits the big body, without the belyy button tat, that will be missing when Batista leaves.
2. Ziggler - I could get behind that. He could use just about anything at this point and a spot in Evolution may be just what the doctor ordered.
3. Miz/Flair - Score Jr has declared this to be the piece of the puzzle that fits best but he is none too happy about it. Still makes sense for Flair to be around Evolution. And Miz is reportedly the guy he's tied to at the moment.
this scenario would probably piss me off.
4. Ziggler/Flair - Whether by themselves or coupled with Evolution, this is the way they should go.
Maybe that Flair/Evolution/Shield segment will make sense once this "Event" has concluded.
