I saw the Keibler thing just might be for HOF. I don't think she deserves it though.

Disagree. They let Stratus in, and at one point Keibler was more popular. Plus, Keibler went on to mainstream success.

Does anyone know if the WWE Network subscription will be 9.99 a month, billed per month? Like even with the 6 month commitment, or would we need to fork over $60 ish for the 6 months up front?

Stratus is the best in-ring female wrestler in WWE history. Better than Moolah, Sherri, Sable, Phoenix, etc.
Keibler was only there to gawk at and primarily only competed in bra and panties matches, evening gown matches, and pillow fights.

I agree with you on this. Keibler was ok, more of a looker, then wrestler. Vince hired her more for her looks IMO. Back then it wasn't PG, it was like PG-13 and higher, with partial nudity, sexual content, etc... I mean foor gods sake, Lita/Edge in bed to end RAW one night.

I've heard a lot of wrestlers are uneasy about the Network and how it will effect their pay. I wonder if that's not factoring into everyone wanting out right now.

I just liked watching Stacy enter the ring.

Lita and Sable are a thousand times more deserving of HOF than Keibler is. If they brought her back to compete though that would be cool. She wouldn't be as fun to watch in the PG era though. Dat ASS doe.

they way it was described seems like its upfront

"A monthly subscription to WWE Network is $9.99 per month (plus tax where applicable) with a 6-month commitment."

I mean, I guess if you terminate they may charge you more or something. They are probably still hammering out details

Meh. Trish is good and was deserving of the HOF, but if we are talking pure wrestling I'd put Lita #1.

- As of this past weekend, Sting still had not signed a contract with WWE. Those in WWE are saying the deal is super close to being done. Right now it's believed they are working on the merchandising part of the deal. The idea, which can change, is that they will not use Sting at WrestleMania XXX but likely will at WrestleMania 31 in California next year.

- The Brazzers pornography company tweeted CM Punk this week and offered him a job. They wrote:

"Hey @CMPunk, since you're no longer doing the whole wrestling thing…wanna do porn? We can even listen to Minor Threat the entire time."
