All-Purpose Wrestling Thread

found these bits over at wrestlezone.

-In what they are claiming is a cost-cutting measure, WWE is apparently no longer going to be putting name plates on the championship belts.

???? because that has to save them $10 a year easily.

-Big Daddy V will likely be moved to SmackDown in October or November to feud with top stars such as Batista and Rey Mysterio. In the meantime, they'll continue to build him up as a monster on ECW. This is more or less a mirror image of what they did with Snitsky before shipping him back to Raw, although Snitsky has yet to work with any top stars.

cool. i love when they FORCE guys into the top spots.

LOL! Vicera? Please, the worst thing they ever did was make him take off his shirt. No one is going to buy him as a "monster," and he'll soon join Snitsky and Mark Henry in limbo.

i like how Snitsky is "undefeated". either push him or don't. a year of vignettes people normally get when they're returning (and not already here) and squash matches is dumb.

protip. his teeth are really dyed. it's not a mouthpiece.

Is it really that expensive to go to Things Remembered and get a cheap piece of fake gold-plated metal engraved with some guy's name once every few months?

McDonalds can do it for the employee of the month, but it costs too much to the WWE.

If they really need to cut costs, can't they just fire some divas?

Maybe the belts really are real gold! (which is malleable and should be able to be engraved into quite easily)

the actual names go on a small plate, which makes it even less of an issue.

and afaik the belts are actually gold, or gold plated and quite heavy.

The belts weigh 50 pounds and the steel steps weigh 250 pounds

LISTEN TO THE ANNOUNCERS

I hear D-Lo Brown is coming back to WWE.

Which is awesome, cause he always was.

If he does I have one more reason to not bother watching.
