As seen on RAW last night, the Brock Lesnar segment didn’t go as planned. Paul Heyman was trying his hardest to get fans to chant for Goldberg, but instead they were cheering for Lesnar and chanting “Goldberg sucks.”

Bryan Alvarez noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that Vince McMahon “blew a gasket” backstage over the reaction from the fans and had Lesnar’s music play to end the segment early. It was noted that the segment was scheduled to go longer, put Vince pulled the plug “right in the middle of it.”

New Pro Wrestling Streaming Service To Launch With A WWE Connection?

wwnlive flosports floslam partnership evolve roh shine fip streaming service

A new pro wrestling streaming service is expected to start making announcements this coming week. FloSports has been talking with several top indie wrestling companies about bringing their content to a new platform called FloSlam, according to PWInsider.

FloSports has been streaming other sports for a while and recently released apps for Roku and AppleTV.

There is a WWE connection here as FloSports announced back in August that they received $21.2 million in new funding. WWE was one of their investors, along with Discover Communications and others.

You can check out the FloSlam website at this link. The site advertises “unlimited access to the best professional wrestling content on the planet” and says they will have:

* Live Streamed Competitions (Top pro wrestling events around the world)

* Archived Event Library (Every live-streamed event available on demand)

* Original Documentaries (Exclusive documentaries featuring elite pro wrestlers)

It’s possible these are just placeholders but a background image for the website features John Cena and Randy Orton while a “People” section on the website includes just about the full WWE roster, complete with profiles. Images used on social media also have WWE Superstars in them.

It looks like a FloPRO subscription will give you access to other Flo websites and is billed at $20 per month or $150 per year.

Court documents In Billy Corgan’s Lawsuit Against TNA And Others Were Unsealed

Court documents in Billy Corgan’s lawsuit against TNA and others were unsealed on Friday. One such document, a temporary restraining order against the defendants (TNA, TNA’s parent company Impact Ventures LLC, Dixie Carter, her husband Serg Salinas, and TNA Chief Financial Officer Dean Broadhead), revealed that Corgan claims that Impact Ventures is “insolvent.”

In part, the order provides that Corgan “is likely to prevail on the merits of its claims because Impact Ventures LLC is insolvent, and, as a result, plaintiff is entitled to exercise controlling voting rights in the company.”

Also, the order dictates that TNA and Impact Ventures are prohibited from taking any action without Corgan’s consent. Essentially, this means that TNA cannot enter into any new business deals without Corgan’s approval.

Additionally, neither side of the litigation may sell TNA or its tape library until ordered by the Court. This development may put TNA in a difficult position; however, it also prevents Corgan from selling his claim to TNA to a third party.

Shawn Michaels Lands Role In Star Wars & Avengers Parody Flick

Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels has been part of some memorable comedic moments in WWE history … and now his sense of humor is being called into action for a superhero parody movie.

Variety reports that Michaels has been cast in Avengers of Justice: Farce Wars — a spoof of Star Wars and Marvel superhero adventures.

The plot is about superheroes who have been forced into hiding after billions of dollars in damages have been incurred from one too many face-offs with supervillains.

HBK will play a mentor to a character named Superbat, played by Stephen Rannazzisi. Also appearing in the film are Amy Smart and Simon Rex.

May the farce be with him!

Adam Rose Teasing WWE Return?

Adam Rose is teasing big news on his twitter account. He said that something big is coming that will blow the roof off. At the end of his tweet, he included the hashtags #AdamRose and #WWE.

As of this writing, WWE owns the “Adam Rose” trademark so it doesn’t appear that he is getting ownership of the name anytime soon. It’s possible that he will be returning to WWE and, if that is the case, then we should find out soon.

Rose has been working under the name Aldo Rose on the independent scene and he is scheduled to make an appearance for Preston City Wrestling on 10/28. He is also booked for IPW in the UK on 11/6.

Rose was released from his WWE contract back in May following a suspension for violating the company wellness policy.

The Rock Producing New Comedy With Will Ferrell, Based On Rock’s Relationship With Former WWE Writer

Variety reports that Fox has picked up a new comedy from The Rock and Will Ferrell, inspired by Rock’s real life relationship and experiences with former WWE head writer Brian Gewirtz.

Rock’s Seven Bucks Productions and Ferrell’s Gary Sanchez Productions are producing while Andrew Gurland, creator of FX’s “Married,” will write the pilot script.

The series will offer a behind-the-scenes look at a fictional pro wrestling company, chronicling the one-of-a-kind odd couple relationship that develops between a charismatic young character like The Rock and a painfully awkward comedy writer new to the world of pro wrestling. They wrote, “A fish-out-of-water among all of these alpha males, this beta former sitcom writer needs as much help as he can get navigating the extremely passionate, sometimes crazy and always unpredictable world of professional wrestling.”

The Rock said:

“This November will mark the 20th anniversary of my professional wrestling debut. I was 24 years old, putting in the hard work, making $40 bucks per match and had no clue of the long journey that lay ahead of me with characters and backstage stories so colorful you’d think there’s no way that can be true. The entertaining show that goes on in front of the crowd pales in comparison to the insanely entertaining show that goes on backstage. Brian and myself can’t wait to tell our stories.”

Gewirtz added:

“Coming from Hollywood to the wrestling industry, with its intense backstage atmosphere and larger than life personalities, was a major culture shock. After working in the business for over 15 years, Dwayne and I had encounters and experiences that were unbelievable as well as unforgettable. We can’t wait to bring this project to the fans.”
