-WWE has had an offer on the table for Ric Flair to return as a regular television character, which recently led to Flair getting scheduled for a full cardiovascular physical before the company would use him on TV. Flair has been working out, currently weighing around 230 pounds, and wants to get down to 225 lbs. before his TV return.

As far as what role Flair will play when he does return, there’s been some discussion of putting him with The Miz. The feeling is that Flair could help elevate Miz to becoming a top-tier performer for the company, although some are of the belief that pairing Flair with Miz would be wasting Flair’s value.

Flair himself has reportedly requested to manage Dolph Ziggler, although WWE hasn’t seemed to want to push Ziggler lately, so it’s considered unlikely that they will go with a Flair-Ziggler duo.

It’s worth noting that Flair’s deal with WWE requires the company to approve all of his appearances, which has led to some issues recently with Flair reportedly being involved with negotiations to actually return to the ring for an overseas non-WWE wrestling tour. Many are of the belief that those negotiations will not actually come to fruition, as many assume WWE will never allow it.


Are you kidding me?! They'd rather push the miz than Ziggs?! I guess he really can't connect with the crowd. :{
 
 
Are you frickin' kidding me?..This is what WWE thinks is a good idea..Dude is down right terrible..How can Vince fire Chris Hero for not being in shape, but allow this douche to be on the roster when it's obvious he hasn't been in a gym since 8th grade?..And his finisher is a bulldog?..WTH?..Gawddamnit, no wonder WWE stock is in the crapper..
Yeah, Chris Hero and Bo Dallas are the reason for the WWE stock prices......

Yes they are..If WWE would give the fans what they want then maybe they'd have more ratings, merch sales, and Network subscribers..

if they had wyatt vs reigns for the title at wrestlemania 31, it'd be like diesel vs shawn michaels at wrestlemania 11 or rocky vs Austin at wrestlemania 15. Put two new stars in the title picture and let them lead the next generation.

Let rocky take on reigns at summerslam or survivor series next year.
 
With Bo Dallas debuting I been wondering how is he a heel? Is his gimmick supposed to be how people hate tebow and is that why he Tebows?

From what I gather, his gimmick is pretty much that he thinks he's John Cena.


Although when the gimmick first started out in NXT he was basically pre-heel turn Justin Bieber. :lol

Really?

The Nature Boy Dolph Ziggler would give me life :smokin
 
That report has to be old it says he don't seem to want to push zigs but he's been wrestling Batista lately and slightly more wins. Plus the Miz isn't even back yet

That's not the reason why WWE stocks were down - 2 wrestlers cannot cause such a huge swing in stock prices (~44% change

).  WWE did not meet the high expectations Vince gave investors regarding the TV deal and subscribers to the network. Vince told investors that the TV deal just struck with NBCU was going to be doubled, or even tripled, to their old deal.  We all know how that turned out - WWE getting $150mil instead of $200mil or $300mil.  Also, investors just found out WWE needed more subscribers than initially thought to break even on operating costs (initially needed 1mil subscribers, but now needs 1.5mil).

That point has been given but in order to draw new subscribers and pull in ratings, you have to present a prosuct worth watching or the casual fan isn't going to tune. See the correlation?
