Title: New feuds for Smackdown!, WrestleMania makes $40million, & Other Stuff
Post by: Perfection on March 26, 2004, 07:09:15 PM
The new Smackdown! feuds being putting into motion are...Eddie Guerrero versus Big Show, John Cena versus Rene Dupree (U.S. versus France), Booker T versus Undertaker ( 'Taker teaching Booker some respect for Smackdown!).


Apparently, last night's Smackdown! show was panned by the live crowd who booed at the conclusion. A local station who helped promote the event actually apologized on-air for the show after they were besieged by angry phone calls. Yikes!


The WWE announced today that it expects world-wide Pay-Per-View gross revenues for WrestleMania XX to be between $40 million and $45 million, making it the highest grossing Pay-Per-View event in WWE history. WWE’s net share is expected to exceed $20 million after revenue-sharing with cable and satellite providers. WWE said its first-week estimate of Pay-Per-View buys is 825,000.

that's what u get for pushing guys like Bradshaw AND when u promise the fans something and don't deliver : triple H on SD!

also why the hell is Booker T in the title picture? he has been a midcarder for like a year now , SD really is the minor league show

The only things good about Smackdown! right now are: John Cena (when is his title shot coming), Eddie, The Undertaker, and RVD (especially if Paul Heyman comes back to manage a heel RVD)

One reason is they were promised HHH and instead they got Booker T

so does that mean HHH isn't going there, or he just didn't show up?

peace.

^^Read the topic of the post made early last week which said HHH was traded back to Raw.
