Anyone know how much it would cost WWE to use a song from a band like Killswitch Engage as a theme for a wrestler? Just wondering.

10,000 dollars

A ton of factors go into the price.

Most of the WWE's music is made in-house or contracted out but is ultimately owned by the WWE.

I think the WWE paid for the rights of Cult of Personality just a negotiated flat fee...how much, I dunno. The WWE uses a lot of "up and coming artists" for their music for PPVs and whatnot, and probably pay very little for that music, if any at all. Bigger songs...for example...Cult of Personality, whenever The Undertaker uses Metallica, the latest Puffy song they use the shit out, a Flo Rida song...much more expensive, but a flat fee, surely.

This is pretty cool...

I'm reading a biography on Jackie Robinson and I'm up to his days at UCLA. The big receiver on the football team in the late 30s was Woody Stroud (after his football college and pro days [he helped break the NFL's color barrier], he went on to become a successful actor).

At various times in the 40s and 50s, he was a professional wrestler, too. Short clip of a match with GORGEOUS GEORGE is on YouTube.

Lance Storm posted this poster for next Saturday's ROH show noting why the fuck is the ref on it & WTF with Hardy's shirt lol.

Had to be a photoshop job...

[Warner2BruceTD]

LOL.

Hardy is in the heel faction SCUM, but I cant imagine how this got past whoever's job it is to proof this stuff.

How did that ACH kid make the poster ... also Todd Sinclair is horrible at his job

LOL.

It was probably intentional to draw attention to it.

not my ACW ... we did Book this guy one time ... he was billed from Las Vegas

"Your honor...as you can see, I'm the ACW heavyweight champion."

@ that opening remark.

After unfortunately watching the rest of this, what an incredibly ridiculous combination of industries (TV judges & pro wrasslin).

I'm gonna be on #Raw tonight! #AprilFools


Ryder has been in IDGAF mode on twitter for like two months. He probably could use a good indie run. Not sure he'd do well on the "workrate" circuit like Trent Baretta & John Morrison, but he'd make a killing early on on the NWS/PWS/"former WWE star at the VFW Hall" circuit for sure.

He's been in IDGAF mode for more than two months.

Clearly a dude that doesn't want to be there anymore...but, unfortunately for him, the WWE still makes a ton on his merch, so they will milk it until he's no good, and then cut him.

I have no idea whats going on in that picture
