The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

Vince made the decision last week to give WWE RAW Superstar Chris Masters a renewed push. Masters was in the midst of a push last summer, before being suspended for violating the WWE Wellness Policy.

This is from the observer so it may have some truth to it. Masters has improved a lot since he came back.

Guh... I'm not a fan of Masters.

While watching Edge and Orton tear it up last night, I was thinking how injury prone the top guys are.

What they should do is have Mark Henry take The Undertaker out. Then we can finally get the Batista/Henry payoff.

From The Observer web site:

Quote:

The Undertaker met with Dr. James Andrews today regarding his torn bicep. Nothing is official yet but the word going around is that WWE will likely have to change the scheduled Undertaker vs. Batista Judgment Day main event. Undertaker was scheduled to have a long World Title reign, but at this point that is up in the air.

Mark Henry is coming back just in the nick of time...

God no not a summer of Batista v. Henry with one of them as the World Champ


Can't we just put the title on Kennedy. Or MVP. Or Benoit. Or Finlay. Or Matt Hardy. Regal? Kane? ANYONE!

Why must my favorite show always be held back by a sub-par main event scene.

Because you choose the wrong show to be your favorite?

Oh no, they'll finally be concluding one of their top storylines. Oh no.

Just being a jerk. BUT, I really do like Ol' Mizark.

I know it's been building for basically the last 1.5 years, but...I don't like Batista and while I liked Mark's last push, I still don't like him that much either. And putting them in the same ring seems like a giant fustercluck waiting to happen

I was hoping he'd return to feud with Batista as the secondary feud behind whatever Taker was doing

[Lintyfresh85]

well Batista has been having some great matches lately... albeit with Taker.... but Henry was on fire before he got hurt... so maybe 'Tista and Henry can pull off another feud till Booker shows up again.

The total domestic buys would have been approximately 768,000, so it was nowhere even close to the company record in the core North American market. Even last year, it would have ranked only No. 4 among PPV events as a whole behind one Oscar de la Hoya boxing match and two UFC events headlined by Tito Ortiz. Last year's show did about 980,000 total buys and 636,000 in the North Ameican market.

Good news for them. More good news comes in too, as WWE posts higher quarterly earnings, shares rise

May 3 (Reuters) - World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. reported higher quarterly earnings, driven by increased revenue across all its business segments, sending shares up almost 7 percent.

The Stamford, Connecticut-based company reported first-quarter earnings of 21 cents a share, up from 13 cents a share in the year-ago quarter. Revenue rose to $107.4 million compared with $95.1 million in the same quarter last year.
