Actually, this was clarified. He poured milk on her because of a Johnny Curtis promo from NXT where he poured milk on himself and said "There is no use crying over spilled milk."

This may sound ridiculous, but...

*ahem*

AND I QUOTE


So there. Summer Rae poured milk on Layla because of a random nonsensical promo from years ago.

E: he might have deleted it as I can't find it, but it was there

Should have went all the way.

It was a Shield match. Dean was Dean, Cena was the face in peril, Reigns did the rear end kicking. It was fine.

Didn't Sheamus used to do the Razor's Edge as a finisher?

I think the Razor's Edge went on Vince's shitlist since it's too easy to drop a guy on his head doing it.

e: I'm pretty sure half the roster has a submission finisher of some kind nobody taps to.

It felt like an old fashioned "you betrayed us, I am going to gently caress you up" promo straight out of 1989. I don't think it would work with anyone else on the roster.

I'm surprised Cole mentioned Maddox in this week's interview, I figured that'd been lost in the shuffle.

I have a feeling that they're going somewhere with Sandow, and it's not just a future endeavors thing. If he was being punished or buried he wouldn't be getting weekly segments where he sometimes even gets to talk. Honestly I don't even think what he's doing right now is as bad as Cesaro's "yodeling" phase from last year.

Then again, burying Sandow would continue the grand tradition of wasting Hugh Jackman appearances.

I want another script to leak so we can see if the Sandow segments are still just scripted as "Damien Sandow antagonizes the crowd"

All the choices for who to give it to are pretty bad. They booked themselves into a corner with the Bryan injury and I'm not really sure if there's a good way out of this.

I don't think you want Bray anywhere near a belt when he's still maybe kinda doing something with Cena because that puts Cena near a belt as well.

It'll help if they're bringing in higher-priced talent like Devitt, Kenta, Steen etc. Stave off some of the extra expense when most of these guys were probably making at least $100k/year.

i can't speak for the state of indie wrestling in general, and this is of course an exception to most indie guys but aj has a pretty insane asking price last i checked and gets booked for shows every weekend, usually more than one, he is absolutely making a ton more than he was in TNA not that that's a great indicator of anything but if you've got good name value the money's out there

AJ said in his interview with Jericho that he had no idea how much money people were willing to pay to book him after he got out of TNA.

I'd out more money on Rose honestly, he's been in developmental for four plus years, and if Dunn and Vince don't think he's worth anything I'd say he's out the window soon.

It would be totally WWE to push a guy, have him win 3 weeks in a row, lose all his TV time and get released in the spam of a month.

I never understood how anyone pays $11 for the Observer, but can't justify $10 for the Network.

To me that's like paying money for behind the scenes information and spoilers about your favorite television show, but then not actually wanting to watch the show... blows my mind

So it's like paying :10bux: for SA and not watching Game of Thrones?

Doesn't wwe films usually turn a profit though? They don't have the biggest budget films, and they seem to make their money back.

They distributed, not produced Oculus and I believe WWE Films has never produced a profit but that could be Hollywood accounting.

NXT does house shows in parts of Florida I have never heard of and I've lived here all my life. I can't imagine they draw much in Wachula, FL, population 4000 with nothing in any direction for 40 miles unless people want to see NXT so bad they drive in from Lakeland.

Oh okay. Místico is going to be Myzteziz (which is apparently Místico + Genesis) in AAA only, he's going to be Sin Cara when he works in other Mexican promotions. Good luck with that, I guess.
