Isn't there a maximum bet for most of the sites that offer WWE betting? I think it's like 50 or 100 bucks?

Yes

They've been trying to sign Shirai for months now. I guess WWE is getting pretty desperate to sign her. As for Hojo, she's probably the second or third (maybe fourth) best female wrestler in the world, if Meltzer is to be believed.

dave isn't really an authority on joshi anymore or women's wrestling outside wwe in general

Wasn't there some article somewhere in the recent past that explained in detail how now that they have a stable base of Network subscribers that is roughly equivalent to the revenue they used to get from traditional PPV buys, the WWE's business model is effectively infinitely sustainable regardless of short-term trends in things like ratings or house show attendance? Unless they have to do something crazy like pay for their employee's health insurance, of course.

Nothing that you couldn't justifiably attribute to declining live event ratings in general. Network numbers would probably be the best metric and they seem turbulent but predictable.

If you're really interested in the business/financial side of wwe check out any article by brandon howard or chris harrington who come to this conclusion

I believe they just started up a podcast on the subject that I assume is incredibly dry and boring

i dont think that's what they're doing but randy orton going on a rampage and beating up jinder and the boyz with weapons would be both in character and get a big pop

"Whoever they want from CMLL" means whoever the CMLL office feels like sending because nobody in ROH knows CMLL which is why you end up with El Terrible instead of someone young and cool or someone old and legendary
