Apparently before they hired Spud to be 205 Live GM they asked Mike Tenay if he'd be interested in doing it, but he told them he was done with wrestling for good.

DC might be joining the WWE announce team
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/280 ... t-vs-lewis
Personally I think he's much better off as a UFC announcer. DCs Knowledgable and entertaining and I think in WWE you become almost robotic as an announcer. Cactus talked about how when he announced how unenjoyable that was so its better in UFC when DC, Jon and Joe (sometimes Dom when he's on the team) are just talking with each other as in WWE its like hearing sound bites from a WWE 2K game.

Obviously there's a backlash against this on Twitter. Just because her husband was a cunt doesn't mean she is as well.

WWEs revisionist history went into overdrive when he passed, totally ignoring his inflammatory views. They'll no doubt do the same with Hogan too. Really hypocritical when they welcomed Warrior back though with open arms after they put out that Self Destruction DVD. Wrestling as we know is super carny so if there's money to be made they'll just throw morals and ethics out of the equation I guess.

It's actually a smart idea if he did it temporarily. He can introduce himself to WWE fans before he fights Brock and get a better buyrate.

Re: WWE Thread (Spoilers)
Yea that's a good point about introducing himself to the fans but doing the old school pull apart promos would be better. Or something like DC is guest commentator for a match, maybe a Lesnar match maybe, Brock gets in his face, pull apart, hype for their upcoming fight if it happens. And yea Graves getting beat up...

Re: WWE Thread (Spoilers)
WWE Network might be doing a tier system with a premium tier for $15 that would get new Saturday Night Main Event shows which would be filmed house shows from Full Sail University with both brands on them. Also alternate commentary on PPVs, plus EVOLVE shows and Lucha Underground is in talks to be on the Network since they lost their Netflix deal.

Interesting, I've also heard about a free tier possibly too of so many free hours but will be ad supported & limited to archived content.Bandit wrote: ↑Tue Oct 23, 2018 1:15 am WWE Network might be doing a tier system with a premium tier for $15 that would get new Saturday Night Main Event shows which would be filmed house shows from Full Sail University with both brands on them.

Re: WWE Thread (Spoilers)
It's funny how Brock appears to be a money magnet.
Brock: "Okay, I will do this Saudi Arabia show. But after this I'm really done guys."
WWE: "Roman is out, here's another $10 million."
Brock: "Shit."

Yea thats just horrible news. Hopefully Roman will beat Leukemia again. Living with it for all those years must have taken a toll on him, I'm guessing it was in remission for a long time and now like most cancers sadly can do it comes back again.

I do hope WWE handles this well & not use it for cheap heat like they did with Eddie. They could actually educate the fanbase about leukemia & help raise funds for research.

Dean turning after winning the tag titles doesn't make much sense.

Re: WWE Thread (Spoilers)
Apparently the heel turn was the plan in the show written before Vince let anybody know about Roman (Cole choked up was legit because the announcers didn't know) and Vince just wanted to go to business as usual the rest of the show. Some people were mad about the graveyard promo too.
