If it's James, usually he's been good about not playing stuff because of copyright. For instance, the Hulkster in Heaven song on Dirty Dutch's show
I think it was on that clip that James said what happens on a copyright strike, it can be used but the copyright holder gets any revenue generated by the clip. Took it that he found out from using "Perfect Strangers".
Well, Punk finally made an appearance for the CFFC as commentator and mentioned that he has got time on his hands for the next 2 months... hinting at something around the end of November. My guess is an appearance at WWE Survivor Series on Nov 25th in... you guessed it, Chicago. Almost makes the AEW debacle seem like it was pre-meditated from Punk's side.
The Rock and Cena on Smackdown last night. I kept waiting for the sound for glass shattering pumped through the speakers to make it a trifecta.
Everything is coming up WWE lately. They are on a roll like they haven't been in 20 years with attendance.
I'm guessing the video proof was pretty strong as this hopefully will end this saga. CM Punk Is Not Suing Tony Khan Following Termination – Exclusive
I'll take Bruce Buffer over Justin Roberts in AEW. They have Dasha and Bobby Cruise on their payroll, but they keep the tanned mannequin as their guy on their #1 show.
WWE announcing today that Smackdown will be moving from Fox to USA next year, but likely that USA will no longer have Raw and NXT. Smackdown got a 40% increase in the new contract. That will be interesting since USA has a much smaller viewing audience that Fox would have. Also, WWE announces a 40% increase for Smackdown today as they are releasing a lot of wrestlers. Good timing.
So far: Mustafa Ali Rick Boogs Emma Aliyah Elias Riddick Moss Top Dolla Shelton Benjamin Dolph Ziggler
Ali, Emma, Shelton & Dolph should all be on AEW's radar at least for ROH. Ali maybe for more. It's a shame Shelton Benjamin never became a top star, he had everything it takes.
full list so far... - Mustafa Ali - Emma - Riddick Moss - Aliyah - Elias - Rick Boogs - Top Dolla - Shelton Benjamin - Dolph Ziggler - Mace - Mansoor - Dana Brooke - Quincy Elliot - Bryson Montana - Dabba-Kato - Shanky - Yulisa Leon I hope they also fired who created a lot of these gimmick names. Shelton is the only real name as far as I know.
The timing is of course pure garbage in terms of optics for wrestling fans but makes sense for stockholders unfortunately. That being said the only name on this list that I could possibly care about is Ali and I’m hoping he gets a look from AEW. I think he’s got a ton of miles left on him and could really tear it up if given the chance. The rest of the names I’ll never give a second thought to if I don’t see them wrestle again.
Wowza, guess not that surprising with all the headaches he’s caused. I’m sure there’s even more skeletons that haven’t come out of the closet yet from him for the general public to hear. From a pure wrestling stance, bummer the Orton/Riddle feud never materialized. That could’ve been such a hot program.
I think they should get Ali and Benjamin... and maybe Ziggler, but I'd wait to see if Ziggler still has some hunger. Had their been an AEW 10 years ago, he would have been great there. I don't know how much he wants it anymore with probably a big bank account and in his 40s.
