WON Notes - Dicks ribbed for pleasure...

[Guest Arnold_OldSchool]

SD vs Raw video game sold 2.5 million units – WWF got a 10-15% cut of that $$

 

Vince’s stock is up to 750 million dollars

 

The WWF ran 52 shows in the last quarter avg 5200 attendance, the qtr prior avg was 4300 attendance

 

There is no new SD! TV deal yet, and Rupert Murdoch is talking about starting a 6th network, so SD! May become a hot property

 

The critically panned and rather tasteless “Viva La Savings” promotion in December featuring the late Eddy G, ended up setting an online record for sales by the WWE – 7,400 orders – $600,000

 

Foley may write a WWE Novel with wrestlers as characters.

 

WWE 24/7 is a modest disappointment internally with only 38,000 subscribers at 7 bucks a month. Clearance deals are being discussed with Time Warner which would be a break through.

 

Most of the guys on the Legends PPV fought with their shirts on

 

Snuka didn’t do the Super fly splash because of recent abdominal surgery

 

Jake Roberts looked way skinny compared to recent appearances, but was horrid thanks to a hip replacement surgery that demobilized him

 

TNA trademarked the X as a marketing tool, so now they can be the only promotion with an X-Division

 

Marty Jennedy is under house arrest until June 2007

 

This was Marty’s 8th WWE firing

 

Jim Ross is working on a franchise restaurant project

 

WWE got in trouble in Israel for selling trading card packs that had Diva pictures in them, which are far too risqué for the culture

 

Dave vouches for Foley’s case in the “Foley vs Filipino press” story that broke this week

 

Maturity in the WWE Locker room: The Dicks Chad Wicks was being ribbed non stop by JBL and others, and he was called for a “pre trial” meeting by Taker, Beniot, Kash and JBL. Wicks got so scared he snuck out of the bathroom and accidentally locked the rest in. Orlando Jordon freed them and Wicks was scared of what they would do. They laughed it off and absolved him of whatever prompted the ribbings to start with. Chad panicked and cried to Tank Tolland (Dick 2) and when the ribbers saw that they harassed Wicks even more. Tank ended up grouped with him in the abuse, so the ribbers put the 2 against each other, Wicks tried to joke out of it, which pissed Tank off and Tank punched him twice, Chad got a busted lip, and Tank needed stitches in his hand.

 

Melina was put on trial by JBL from 1-3 AM in the morning in Australia for “arrogance towards other divas”. The boys passed on partying on the last night of the tour to do the trial.

 

Randy Orton was overselling (think Shawn –SSLam) in Australia and laughing during his matches. One of Mark Henry’s dreadlocks fell off. Orton did a stand off with it, then gave it back , and Henry busted up laughing.

 

JBL promo in New Zealand: “ Chant for Eddy all you want, I beat him for the belt and he ain’t coming back…. Your all gay because your favorite sport is rugby, and everybody knows rugby ain’t nothing more than half naked guys rolling around on the ground together” Then he sang “God Bless America”

 

Rey did the prayer in the corner in a quiet arena, and a fan shouted “Guerrero sucks” prompting several fans to go after the screamer and security had to bust the whole thing up

As much as we complain about the tastelessness, some people apparently eat it up. (Remember how the Dominick segments got better ratings than anything else on Smackdown last year?) Wrestling is not a business where the acceptable norms of behavior are generally applicable, it would seem.

[MrRant 0]

So, what would cause the wrestlers to skip partying at 1-3 in the morning in favor of a trial?

 

I wonder....

Or some people just like saving money.

Yeah, tasteless or not it was Christmas time and when you have lots of junk to buy you look for sales. If I actually bought WWE products (only way I can boycott the product is not spend money on it), then a good 35% savings around Christmas would be excellent.

Apparently so they can drink beer and harass Melina while she's "on trial".

 

It's a complete joke for a publicly traded company to allow crap like this to go on.

For some reason, the image of this made me laugh.

It helps when the verdict is gangbang

[Jericholic82 0]

I have said it before, what the f*ck is wrong with JBL and the other lockeroom veterans? Vince should not allow this crap to go on

This'll be a treat.

 

Here I am, Jim Ross, while you eat.

[Steviekick 0]

What I don't understand is why they let Kid Kash be part of their "wrestling court" team. He's barely been with the company!

[Jericholic82 0]

actually picturing chad locking a bunch of wrestlers in the bathroom has me ROTFL

They're just ribbing these guys, it doesn't sound too bad.

The fact that it ultimately resulted in a violent confrontation would suggest otherwise.

It sounds like the Dicks were babies. I'm not advocating harsh hazing or anything, but I don't think there's anything wrong with ribbing the new guy.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

Benoit, JBL, Taker and Kid Kash- V.E.T's

 

It's up to you to figure out what it stands for.

[Open the Muggy Gate 0]

When did Kid Kash become a locker room leader? I always thought he was a locker room problem.

Please kid, Take the basket off my head. It's scalding me like a red-headed stepchild.

I think it would be more like those Kenny Rogers restaurant skits from Mad TV.

WTF is up with this "trial" bullshit? How old are these guys, anyway?

 

WWE got in trouble in Israel for selling trading card packs that had Diva pictures in them, which are far too risqué for the culture.

 

Israel??? Is Dave sure about this one? I didn't realize Israel was a conservative country? I thought they were more Westernized.

[The Buzz 0]

They probably include Kid Kash since he's been in the business forever and a day for his age.

[Sideburnious 0]

He's the X-pac to the modern day KliQ

look at this way, we in the USA are as open and free as possible, but we still have hundreds of PC Police groups out bitching about this and that so I'm sure the same can be said for Isreal

Now... why can't he be funny, or entertaining over here?

HHH was the hanger-on of the 1st clique...unless you are just talking about his cruiserweight size

I must be the only one that is suprised that Benoit took part in this.

[Guest Arnold_OldSchool]

Beniot is a part of the Locker Room Leaders, this is far from the 1st story of his hazing antics

 

He is a TNT Kid fanboy you know and TNT Kid loved his ribs -the more descructive the better

[bob_barron 0]

There's a difference between ribbing and hazing.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

TNT Kid?
