Tonight’s SmackDown will look quite different.

 

With much of the roster stuck in Saudi Arabia due to travel delays, WWE is flying a number of top NXT stars into Buffalo, New York, for tonight’s show. This comes from a report by Wrestling Observer‘s Dave Meltzer. While no names were specified, expect to see some NXT stars on tonight’s telecast in addition to many female stars, Daniel Bryan, The Miz, and others that didn’t make the trip.

 

As per when current talent will leave, it looks like their flights from Saudi Arabia will now depart around 8 p.m. ET.

WWE stock dropped 15.65% to $56.04 on Thursday, near its 52 week low of $53.25.

 

While WWE managed to beat profit expectations, they missed on revenue. The also lowered their outlook, modifying its 2019 adjusted OIBDA target to $180 million- $190 million from $200 million. The company cited a delay in completing a new TV deal in the Middle East for the change, although it still would be an all-time record.

 

WWE saw increases in media revenue, with decreases in live event revenue and merchandise from the prior year quarter, although all three areas missed expectations. Media revenue rose 28% to $146.1 million, while live event revenue declined 13% to $23.2 million and merchandise was down 13% to $17 million.

 

Live events lost money again in Q3, which is the third time in the last five quarters. Total live event revenue was $23.3 million, down from $26.7 million in the prior year quarter. WWE held 16 fewer events in the quarter than last year, excluding NXT.

 

Merchandise was down from $19.6 million in Q3 2018 to $17 million this year. Sales from WWEShop.com were down 16% from Q3 2018.

Ouch,  though they could see a bump in the future from the new Fox deal I think.  They really need to get better writing going though, that's the major issue.  If things can make sense you can get people to keep watching and going to more events.  When things don't or are just dropped and happen for no reason then people just toss their arms up in the air and say forget it.

Chris Jericho's next podcast guest is: Donald Trump Jr. !

 

What? Ok, sure the guy is putting out a new book and Jericho is part of the media tour I guess? I mean he's gonna be on The View also. So its not like he's only doing right leaning media outlets. He wants that moneh and not the bubbleh.

So wait, because I don't listen to the Jericho podcast, is it considered left leaning?  Right?   I'm just wondering, I don't plan to start listening if it happens to match my political view, not that I really have a side, I'd say i'm more in the center in general.

I have no idea if the Jericho podcast is left learning, though from comments Jericho has made in the past I'd assume he himself is? In any event, The View is definitely left leaning even though they have right wing opinions on the panel. My point was that DTJ is going where he'll get the most exposure for his book coming out, whether they are left or right doesn't matter because MONEH BABEH!

Wow I thought James Storm retired after leaving WWE what was it like, 3 years ago now? I know he went back to Impact for a bit, but I had no idea he was full time for NWA now. Good on him, I always liked his ring work, and some of his tag matches in TNA back in the day were incredible.

Ok so I know this is really stretching the wrestling thing, but I thought some of you might enjoy these videos. The 1st is Ryback along with Johnny Scoville and his son eating peppers (if you don't know who Johnny Scoville is, just google for his Youtube channel, the man is a chili pepper beast) and the 2nd video is basically an hour long video podcast with them talking about stuff. Hope you guys enjoy? :)

Yeah, quite a few former Impact guys are in NWA now: Eli Drake, Mr. Anderson, Marti Belle, Eddie Kingston, Homicide, Aron Stevens (Aron Rex/Damien Sandow), Crimson, Caleb Konley, Thomas Latimer (Bram), and of course their current world champions Allysin Kay (Sienna) and Nick Aldis (Magnus).

What in the hell did I just watch?? lol Those two look like good in ring workers, why were they throwing hot sauce on dicks, hitting each other with bird puppets and using widden pallets? Must be a British thing? 😮

In a nutshell, it's a long-running rivalry over a kitchen sink that's resulted in three of those kind of matches.

 

Liam Thomson went through a bad spell losing all his possessions - including his house - to Wolfgang. It's been ongoing for the past 2.5 years, so my memory's a bit fuzzy on the details, but the sink essentially became to Thomson what Moppy was to Perry Saturn.

 

 

The sink then became an unofficial title that kept getting defended, until it was sold to Kid Fite to pay for a world title shot, which was lost, and then we got a 24/7 title out of it...

 

I haven't been keeping up as much with ICW this year. I know Thomson won the Zero-G title, which he still holds, and I think Wolfgang stole the sink back at the Square Go (their Royal Rumble equivalent); either way, it all led that 3rd match above which happened over the weekend.

    • Unsurprisingly, there's what the law says and what the old white wealthy males legally enforce...

    • Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.
    • No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.
