Finally got around to watching Slammiversary. They put on a pretty decent show, worth the watch.

It was nice that it focused more on the in-ring action than segments of bad acting like on Impact. I think if they carry that on it will be better because when it comes to the actual matches they have some great talent.

Would be nice for them to run longer matches in general though (and WWE). I miss the 30-40min epics of the 90s.

As reported earlier this week, WWE?s former RAW head writer Jay Gibson was the latest employee to be let go by the company. According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Gibson?s departure was not a result of the company?s ongoing budget cuts.

 
Gibson had only been with the company for about 5 months and didn?t actually write the RAW scripts himself. He was basically in charge of managing the writing staff, delegating assignments. There were a lot of people who felt that Gibson did not have a good grasp on the WWE product or the wrestling business in general.
 
Since Gibson wasn?t doing much writing, his release is not as significant as the initial reports indicated.
 
Despite Gibson?s release not being directly related to budget cuts, WWE continues to slash various aspects of the production spending. WWE is no longer flying in NXT talent to play Adam Rose?s Rosebuds on television. NXT talent will only be used on Raw or Smackdown if they are within driving distance from Orlando, and can travel to the arenas themselves. Instead, WWE is now using local indy talent to play the Rosebuds. This began at last week?s RAW and SmackDown tapings from Green Bay and Minneapolis, were independent wrestlers Dysfunction, Justin Dredd, Chase McCoy, Joey Avalon and Melanie Cruise were used as Rosebuds.

      Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
