The Unknown Poster

You havent heard of DDP Yoga? He might be more famous for his Yoga program than wrestling now. Funny story, he's done Yoga for years and in WCW, the boys used to make fun of him for doing Yoga but now they arent laughing. Jericho credited DDY Yoga with making it possible for him to return to the ring. I think Regal did too. And DDP basically saved the lives of Jake Roberts and Scott Hall. There is an acclaimed documentary out about this actually: Directed by Steve Yu, the documentary follows Jake Roberts as he moves in with fellow wrestling legend Diamond Dallas Page for an ambitious live-in rehab stint intended to save Roberts’ life. Page’s mixture of Yoga, accountability and relentless positivity are all primary tools employed with the hope of keeping Roberts clean and sober. and: In 2014, DDPYoga, Page’s lifestyle and exercise program, was featured on an episode of ABC’s Shark Tank. During his appearance, Page sought $200,000 from the sharks (investors) for a 5% stake, and noted DDPYoga profited $800,000 after paying himself and his staff. Although he did not receive any investments from the sharks, Page claimed the company generated $1 million in sales in the six days following the appearance.

I was thinking about this. Here is my fantasy booking: Firstly, Ill assume we cant use Brock due to cost and contract. And Ill assume Roman is the "the man" they want on top. I'd do qualifying matches or whatever other lame way they want to make X amount of guys qualify for the tournament. Realistically, I think I'd make it 6 former World Champions make it in (which eliminated Roman but that could still work). So either Roman is one of the 6 or Daniel Bryan is one of the 6. Lets just make it Roman. Then have two WildCard spots, one for WWE guys and one for NXT guys (done on RAW to showcase NXT in front of a large crowd). Have Bryan (or Roman if we reverse the two) win the WWE WildCard spot and Finn Balor win the NXT spot. Finn needs to win the opening round to put over the NXT Champion (pehaps vs someone like Chris Jericho who could be a "surprise" entrant and former World Champion or Owens). I'd have Baron Corbin or Samoa Joe attack Finn post-match to "injure" him and get over the main NXT angle. In the semi-final a hurt Finn works either Roman or Bryan. If it's Bryan its a 5 Star match where Bryan can shake his hand after and "endorse" him (could also lead to another attempt to attack where Bryan helps Finn leading to him doing an NXT special to juice the ratings and further endorse Finn as Bryan's guy). If Finn works Roman, he's hurt and sympathetic (which will get people boo'ing Roman) and Roman subtly cheats or takes advantage of the injury to win. Main even is Roman vs Bryan. Crowd will be 100% on Bryan's side. Roman turns heel, kills Bryan and wins the World title and in an interview reminicient of Survivor Series 98 with The Rock, he claims he never turned on the fans, the fans turned on him. Thusly, the tournament will have created a new top heel (Roman), a new top face (returning Bryan), a top feud to last til WrestleMania season (Roman vs Bryan), elevated NXT, showcased Finn to the masses and introduced two other NXT heels to the RAW audience. The only problem with my plan is its ends up with good guys like Owens and Ambrose doing first round jobs. But since they are programmed together right now, you could have them double eliminate each other, giving Roman a bye to the Finals (which is a subtle heel thing and saves on time). So... Roman vs ??? Owens vs Ambrose Finn vs Jericho Bryan vs ??? Roman Bye Bryan vs FInn Roman vs Bryan. Saves the Bray Family vs Taker/Kane to stay on the show if they want to go that route. If they want to save them, and if Roman turning heel makes him an Authority guy, you could go Bryan vs Bray in the opening round (history) and Kane vs Roman with Kane under "orders" to take him out, Wyatt family does some goofy supernatural attack on Kane (later revealed to be at the best of the Authority to protect Roman, again shades of SS 98). Voila. And none of that is going to happen.

Yup Activision Blizzard Studios, a new film and television studio which will create original content based on the firm's iconic intellectual property, has been launched. Former Disney executive Nick van Dyk will co-head the division along with a senior creative executive who will be announced soon. The studio's first production will be Skylanders Academy, an animated TV series based on the Skylanders game series featuring the voices of Justin Long as Spyro, Ashley Tisdale as Stealth Elf, Jonathan Banks as Eruptor and Norm Macdonald as Glumshanks. Activision also has a "near-term initiative" to create a "robust cinematic universe based on the Call of Duty franchise". In addition to a series of Call of Duty feature films, Activision Blizzard Studios believes there is a possibility of television adaptations. "Activision Blizzard is home to some of the most successful entertainment franchises in history, across any medium. With the launch of Activision Blizzard Studios, our engaged fans can now watch the games they love come to life across film and television," said Bobby Kotick, chief executive officer of Activision Blizzard. "Activision Blizzard Studios is yet another way we're celebrating our players and fans, and we expect that our film and television productions will entertain and delight whole new audiences, as well. I'm excited that Nick and his team will be leading this important new growth opportunity for Activision Blizzard." Kotick added: "We intend to approach film and television development with the same unwavering commitment to excellence we are known for in game development."

I actually played the N64 goldeneye a million times over when it first came out before i actually watched the movie. talk about spoiler alert Goldeneye video game is one of the best games of All Time. We were just talking about this recently and one of our friends still has it and the system and it works...we're planning a Goldeneye party one of these days. Amazing game.

As if it wasnt obvious: The new Star Trek TV series, set to premier in January 2017, will not star Michael Dorn as “Captain Worf”. Dorn himself, confirmed to the audience at Rhode Island Comic-Con on Saturday that the series will not be the project he pitched to the network. The new series is being developed specifically for CBS All Access, the over-the-top streaming service. “I can confirm it right now.” Dorn said. “CBS/Paramount is coming out with a television series in 2017 and from what I’ve read, it’s going to be the J.J. Abrams-universe. So, it’s going to be a different timeline and we are not in in.” ***Although it hasnt been stated anywhere that the series is "Alt Universe" and that will be difficult due to issues between CBS and Paramount.

A reflection on the coach.

Interesting story on CNN about the Russia air disaster (CNN)Concern that there might have been a bomb smuggled aboard the Metrojet flight by an insider at Sharm el-Sheikh airport raises the question: Could such an insider attack happen in the West? Short answer: It isn't out of the question. Five American citizens involved in serious terrorist crimes since 9/11 have worked at major U.S. airports in a variety of capacities. ***additionally story reports 73 people working in secured areas were on terrorist watch lists. I'm sort of a nervous flyer as it is....

What's the average period for firing coaches? I know the league doesnt like it to happen around Grey Cup. But is it reasonable to fire a coach the moment the final game is played or do these things generally happen in December/January? I assume Marcel is under contract for next season?

Hahahaha! So in other words I am correct this isn't a wrestling thread. Thanks! also if you think I'm a hypocrit you need to look up the definition.

Burmi has not been that bad lately why im hesitant to keep him on the 3rd.I agree with you Frosty. Might just have to let them play their way out of it.

You think Roman is a ratings mover? I don't. It's time to do something different. Well to be fair no one is really a ratings mover right now. But Big E would just sink it even further. Champion has to have some legitimacy. Funny doesn't draw money (not always true but that's the expression). I'm not a roman fan. But he's Vince's hand picked guy and was scheduled to win the title from seth at SS. So to deviate from that plan would require them coming up with a much better idea. The best idea is paying Brock to come back and be champion. But I don't think they will. He's also on vacation in Alberta last I heard. They desperately need a top heel as well as a new champion. They have to accomplish a lot with whatever they do at SS

I might consider swapping Burmi and Petan first and then Petan and Lowry.

Lol spends a page talking about wrestling then scolds me for having it in the wrong thread. Ok. lol Is this the right thread for wrestling discussion? lol

Before Marcel was re-upped and before MOS was hired I know Marcel told people he thought the Bombers were bringing in Khari back then.

New Day aren't ratings movers. They are a fun mid card act The plan is Roman. It might change twenty times before survivor series but that's the plan right now Id go with roman but turn him heel.

Attitude era. Wouldn't do that now. Again actors operating characters has nothing to do with gays in the NHL. The clip might be relevant for discussion in the wrestling thread depending on your point but has no relevancy here.

Hey I'm just saying what Maurice said.

He was just the wrong guy to give the briefcase to. It should be someone the fans are behind or someone who would be interesting and different. He might be the first one that tries to cash in and gets boo'ed lol There was a time WWE though he was their replacement for Cena. I think squashing Bryan was about the time he jumped the shark.

Lol gets schooled, pretends he was just fooling the whole time. Makes blanket statements about an industry he's clearly a fan of because he's too insecure to admit he was wrong. Seems to also think being abused makes you gay. Head scratcher for sure.

The third line is not being asked to score though. Maurice was raving about them the other day.

Oh am I pushing your buttons? Lol Where in that quote does it say it was a punishment ? Why do you keep arguing? You're welcome to an opinion. But you're wrong. Go back to arguing theo fleury is gay because he was assaulted as a kid You're sense of "punishment" in wrestling is very simplistic. And generally wrong.

What do I have to do with the shitty shows you've seen? None Ofcoirse experience matters. Does it mean every 15 year person is an expert? No but there's a better chance an experienced person knows more than an inexperienced person This discussion is a result of you criticising me for supporting gay rights while being in the wrestling person. You spouted inaccurate facts about wrestling to support that. I corrected you and you're trying to change the subject. It's readily apparent I am knowledgable about wrestling and I provided facts about guys like Adonis and Billy & Chuck. If you wanted to have a serious discussion about the business/hobby debate of local wrestling that would be fine But I don't think you do.

Is this you trying to insult me as you said in another thread? If you paid to watch shitty wrestling that's more on you. And aside from being in the business 15 years I've also promoted the best shows here over that time. So quantity and quality. Please try again. *rolls eyes*

You're remarks about Fleury show you're not having fun. You legit believe your nonsense. Not my expense at all!

As I said before... they had wrestlers causing miscarriages, incest storylines, senior citizen giving birth to a plastic hand, and so many such wrong things that wrestling shouldn't be considered a "sport" that others should try to take examples from... You brought it up!
