<font color=goldenrod>The Rumble is back to 40 entrants this year. I bet they just want somebody to replace Del Rio as the man to win the "largest Royal Rumble of all time".</font>

Probably going to be Reigns and him breaking this year's elimination record.

Hopefully whatever big they hype for the Rumble actually happens and not like Nexus-Corre war that never occurred in the match itself.

WWE Hall of Famer Superstar Billy Graham has been hospitalized again, according to his wife, Valerie, on Facebook. "This is a message from Superstar's wife Valerie. Billy has been admitted to the Mayo Clinic from complications from his previous medical conditions. Not much specific information is known at this time, but this post will be updated soon. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers," she wrote.

Quote:

Kathie Lee and Hoda discussed their WWE RAW appearance on Today yesterday. They joked about getting booed, and Hoda said that it was "kind of exhilarating." Lee then said that she was against the appearance from the beginning noting that it "did not smell good," but was talked into it. Lee and Hoda then said that they wrote the segment. Lee later talked about being backstage and said that the wrestlers were "the sweetest gentlest giants" and very polite, a big shift from when she ripped the business and "sleazy" wrestlers in her autobiography.

So Creative wasn't to blame for why that Lee-Hoda segment was bad after all.

The NFL game drew a typical viewership of 13.2 million, so it wasn't as if the NFL was the reason for the lost viewers. Raw was still no. 2 on cable behind the NFL game. The male 18-49 was at a near rock-bottom level for the show.

Some other stuff included Michael Elgin "quit" announcement was confirmed to be a work by the Observer and SummerSlam's buyrates ended up being lower than initial reports (30k-40k lower).

It was previously reported that WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar may return for a quick feud with Big Show but apparently that's not happening. Lesnar is not scheduled to return until January to begin promoting his Royal Rumble title defense, likely against John Cena. We noted before that Cena may face Rusev at WrestleMania 31 and this would be a good set-up for Rusev to cost Cena the match

The feeling is the house show merchandise better reflects who to push because they are purchases made by more general fans, and more merchandise is sold at venues than on the Internet. The key notes were the strength of the Usos, Lesnar doing so well as a heel, Bryan’s numbers falling greatly now that he’s not on TV and the success of Sting. The key is Sting merchandise, which never sold all that well in WCW or TNA, is doing great in WWE even though he’s never appeared live on a WWE television show. It definitely increases the perception of his value for WrestleMania.

On the web site, the top ten are Cena (again by a wide margin), Ambrose, Reigns, Lesnar, Austin, A.J. Lee, Bryan, Brie Bella, Hogan and Warrior. No Dwayne Johnson, Orton or Undertaker on either list.

It was described that people are wondering what’s the catch and why would Spike drop something that was doing 1 million to 1.4 million viewers each week (at the time the decision was made and before the move to Wednesday). The TV business word is that Spike dropped it because they didn’t have confidence in the leadership being people who would get it to grow, and the numbers were on the decline, plus the Vince Russo issue came up again as a reason this week, in the sense Spike denies it publicly and privately it’s not a secret that mess was a big part of finalizing the decision.

Quote:

A fan on Twitter posted a photo of an 8x10 signed Lana photo that he received in the mail from UK-based merchandise site Retrowrestling.com. Lana replied and said that she did not sign the 8x10. She then tweeted the following about the photo, which was deleted by the fan: "This is why I do not sign autographs. So they can fake it & sell it online & make a profit it off of my labor.NO!I only sign @WWE meet&greet"

Figured that one would be interesting for anyone who might have bought autographed stuff from that place before since those might be fake as well.

WWE To Kurt Angle: ‘Come Back Full-Time Or No Deal’

Quote:

WWE and Kurt Angle have been rumored to be near a deal for months now, but a new report from Pro Wrestling Insider has revealed a new wrinkle.

If Kurt Angle does come back to WWE, he’ll have to do it as a full-timer, and it will depend on his passing a medical examination. Not surprisingly, this doesn’t agree with what the former WWE and TNA superstar wants — a part-time deal like Brock Lesnar has.

Citing “WWE source,” PWI confirmed that the Stamford-based sports entertainment company is “in conversations” with Kurt about a return.

Writer Mike Johnson said that Angle had turned down the full-time offer.

“Angle has floated the idea of returning to the company part-time and discussions are still ongoing. We are also told that Angle is also more than open to returning to TNA if they can come to terms, feeling that Dixie Carter personally and the company as a whole really helped him while he was dealing with… personal issues in recent years,” Johnson notes.

Some of those “personal issues” are precisely why Vince McMahon and Triple H have been leery about reinvesting in Kurt Angle, who at one time was one of the biggest stars in WWE.

Angle has struggled for years with alcohol and drug addiction. He has been arrested multiple times and had multiple trips to rehab. The company, meanwhile, is doing what it can to pump out a PG product and bring in more families.

A relapse wouldn’t be conducive to that image, especially if Angle was placed at the top of the card, as would be expected.

The gang over at subreddit Squaredcircle voiced that they were “shocked” WWE would want Angle back full-time. Presumably, this would be to place him under the company’s watchful eye.

Angle doesn’t think that his body can work a full-time touring schedule any more, but obviously he wouldn’t have to wrestle all the time. He could be an enforcer for Triple H or a new general manager, who wrestles part-time but appears full-time.

Kurt definitely has the mic skills to pull something like that off.

But what do you think, readers? Would it be a good idea to bring back Kurt Angle in a full-time capacity? If you did bring him back, would the “American Hero” gimmick be necessary now that Jack Swagger has pretty much adopted it for his own, or is Kurt Angle a guy who can transcend gimmicks? Share your thoughts in our comments section.

But the point of him being stripped was because he was not going to be on TV to showcase the title so what is the point in leaving brock off TV and ppv. I kno Brock didnt appear on every UFC ppv but this is a different business and the WWE title represents the business as the most prestigious title in the industry so it should be on every ppv they put on. in the words of HHH its best for business.
