Austin NEEDS one more run. He needs to go out with a final bang. And honestly, with so many people within WWE pushing for it, I think Austin/Punk will happen eventually.

My only concern is that they'd probably need to turn Punk heel for it to work properly, and they won't do that as long as his merch is selling like hotcakes.

But then again, maybe they don't need to turn him heel. Maybe it could work with neither man being a clearly defined heel. I'd probably prefer it that way, honestly.

Punk will go heel since even Austin says he should.

It's not like heels don't sell merch too!
 
@TheWRProject They're releasing the official trailer tonight... via torrents, and then streaming. Piracy and promotion will work hand in hand.

Wrestling Retribution Project released their official trailer via torrent last night. A fan has uploaded it to youtube. These guy's are so far ahead of the curve with this thing. I can't wait to see their take of wrassling. The trailer looks amazing here it is http://youtu.be/7a4JPw4hX3U

So they record every show and air it free on youtube/the internet? Sounds like what I used to do in my TEW games to get popularity gains across the world!

I know it will be available via Netflix, Itunes, and dvd. I'm sure they will have other avanues to view also.

From their website

WRP is a 13-episode seasonal concept built on wrestling storytelling with a complete three act narrative structure. Cutting the cord completely from the modern wrestling industry chronology, it's the launch of a new universe with new characters and new rules. WRP aims to combine modern, relevant themes with compelling in-ring storytelling to create a unique wrestling television experience.

The WRESTLING RETRIBUTION PROJECT will be distributed in both physical and digital media by Image Entertainment throughout North America.

They just sent out this message on twitter about international viewing
We have a partner handling international. Should hopefully be able to say something re: specific markets soon.

As nice an idea that sounds, it was pretty silly. The movie file being torrented is over 1gb big and that's just for a one minute long HD trailer. That's not really worth any hype. Would have been better if they just officially uploaded it to Youtube in the first place and let the fans make torrents and downloads of it rather than vice versa.
 
A couple of new NOAH shows and Dragon Gate matches - check out Katsuhiko Nakajima defending the GHC Jr. Heavyweight Title against Atsushi Aoki, the team of GHC Heavyweight Champion Takeshi Morishima & Kensuke Sasaki taking on Go Shiozaki & Shuhei Taniguchi, plus the Loser Leaves Unit Match from Dragon Gate between the Blood WARRIORS & JUNCTION THREE factions is just awesome, crazy fast-paced Dragon Gate action at it's best, highly recommended;

I think since they got funded through kickstarter they are trying things outside the box. Don't understand how file size factors in. It gets the audience invested in the product they are the ones spreading the word. I'd be interested in finding out how many people downloaded the torrent. They are also streaming it on Geekweek through Justin TV http://www.geekweek.com/live scroll to the bottom of the page.

If Austin returns he should face Brock lesnar because they already have a story line. Austin left the WWE because he didn't want to job to lesnar in 2002. So lesnar can be the heel and call out Austin for what he did and there is your story line for their Wrestlemania match next year.
 
The WWE now has their own version of Botchamania meets MST3k:




PwM6Y.png



WWE: Are You Serious? - Episode 1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feov0bmMdXE




Hosted by Road Dogg and Josh Matthews.
 
The idea is fine and the footage is good, but the production is way overdone, as expected.

Botchamania's minimal presentation is the gold standard.

I think it should be longer. They showed the footage very briefly. Some of this stuff like the Robocop nonsense could take up a whole episodes with going into how such a ridiciulous angle came to happen and what people involved think now.

The WWE roundtable discussions did this sort of thing for some really bad angles they talked about.

Still, it's a decent start, and it's cool to see Road Dogg.

Its funny because Austin started selling a ton of merch while as a heel... the same time as the nWo...

They need to be cocky as shit heels though... something WWE avoids.
 
John Morrison won the WWFX Title Saturday night in the Philippines, beating Shelton Benjamin to become the inaugural champion.

Who needs the WWE when you have the Philippines!!!

Lol are you serious? Nobody gives a fuck about Lesnar in today's WWE.

Really, nobody cares when he stared down the undertaker it started a whole thing that he was going to face him in wrestling. Also, they don't give a fuck that they put in the new video game and promoted it and mention him multiple times on there own show when he was under contract with ufc.

They also don't give a fuck when he retired everybody was asking when he was coming back to the WWE and some saying he will be at this wrestlemania. That the interest he will gather when he comes back to wrestle will mean nothing I guess.

I guess Lesnar is a nobody in today's WWE :/
 
It would have been smart to let taker take this mania off.


Rock vs Cena is already the big seller.


If taker took this mania off then next year in texas(?) could have been his retirement match and the big 20/0 match.


Then the next mania is WM30 which they can pull every trick they have for.




I think 20/0 is gonna be it for Taker..... Now I dont know what else they have for next year other then Austin vs Punk or Brock.



Man... this years mania should be one of the best since 17/18



Also Matt Striker needs his own WWE youtube show. I would watch him and Joey Styles marketing the fuck out at random stuff.
 
Up to December '99 on my wrestling rewatch - Vince Russo ERA WCW.

HHH has just married Stephanie McMahon.
Bret Hart is WCW Champ.
Norman Smiley is the best thing in WCW.
Kevin Nash has slam dunked the WCW TV Title into the trash can.
APA are developing into their bar brawler hired gun personnas.
DX have reformed (again).
Hacksaw Jim Duggan is a janitor in WCW.
Roddy Piper is a ref in WCW.
Hulk Hogan is no where to be seen.
Jeff Jarrett is desperate to be seen.
 
Hey lets talk the never happening wrassle gaf t shirt.


Since most current wrestling shirts are embarrassing and most people wont be caught dead wearing them I want to know what are gafs favorate wrestling themed t shirts.


A simple idea I had was to just remake the old Monday Night Raw logo but replace the WWE logo with the gaf orb and RAW with GAF.

so like that recent line of vintage logo shirts WWE made.

148222_172023812830918_171761196190513_389352_344204_n.jpg


would be easy enough for me or someone to do.


but what are some other cool shirts or artwork.


Austin 3:16 and the WHAT? shirt seem pretty iconic but I cant think of any GAF twists to make other then Bishop 3:16


Maybe Gafamania?

We need ideas people. it would be cool to have one on sale before mania
 
Thanks Bootaaay for uploading Dragon Gate matches, one thing I always loved about DG was the big importance stables played, I wish someone translated DG or other japanese wrestling companies, their stories look way more interesting than what WWE or TNA offers for a wrestling fan.

IVPvideos.com actually offer Dragon Gate shows with English commentary, but as it's an entirely fan-made operation they don't have the time or resources to keep up to date, and there's only 3 shows from 2011 available so far.

And yeah, I agree - Dragon Gate have some great faction storylines that seem really convoluted and complex without an understanding of the language. It's a shame really. I would love to see DGUSA take steps towards offering the Japanese product to western fans, but that's not likely to happen.

Also I thought Jomo wanted to try acting.

Lol, I can't imagine why he didn't manage to find any worthwhile roles for his unique acting talents. Same goes for Paul London, he was quite keen on getting into acting at one point, yet that's gone seemingly nowhere.

I imagine he was asked at an audition to show concern in one scene and smile in another, he used the same big grin for both.

Why all the HHH hate? Not a big wrestling fan but I always liked him tbh.
Click to expand...

I don't dislike him personally, his obsession with being in the spotlight and the centre of attention at the cost of other, more deserving wrestlers is what annoys me. I was a fan of his even despite his history of burying guys and using his pull to put himself over, I was a fan right up until this year. I really enjoyed his WM match, not a problem, but when he took over Punk's breakout story (which, had they full taken advantage of it, legitimately could have turned him into a megastar as big as Stone Cold, not kidding.) to make it all about himself, that was enough for me.

If he didn't insist on feeding his ego constantly and dominating everything he appears on, I would have no problem with him. He's a good talent (a solid wrestler, though a loooong way from the level he thinks he is, and good on the mic as a heel) and he seems to have a good head for the business backstage.

But once he gets in front of a camera, all that goes out the window and he goes into full Hogan level spotlight hogging and burying.

As long as he's off the show itself and working backstage, I haven't a single problem with him. He definitely is more in touch than Vince, and he should do a good job managing the company's interests ONCE he has fully retired from any on screen appearances.

Until then...
