> DISH NETWORK DROPS ALL WWE PAY-PER-VIEWS, BUT…
- In a statement issued to Wrestling-Online.com from DISH Network’s
Corporate Communications office, the company has confirmed that they will
not offer WWE pay-per-views however will consider the value of the PPV
shows on an event by event basis. “WWE has chosen to launch a 24/7 online
network, without its TV partners, that includes all of its pay-per-view
events. As WWE enters the increasingly fragmented media world by
themselves, DISH will continue to consider the value of WWE pay-per-view
on an event by event basis,” the statement says. “DISH continues to
provide a variety of WWE programming, including WWE Raw on USA, WWE
Smackdown on Syfy, WWE Main Event on Ion and WWE Total Divas on E!. At
this time, WWE pay-per-view events are not available on DISH.” DISH
becomes the first PPV provider to dump WWE shows due to the WWE Network.
DirecTV threatened to do the same in January but has confirmed that it
will carry the Elimination Chamber, the last PPV-only show that will air
before the Network launches. Upcoming WWE pay-per-views will be available
on the WWE Network as part of the $9.99 package and will also be airing on
the traditional pay-per-view format for the usual price of $54.95.

> WWE REACTS TO DISH NETWORK’S STATEMENT
- In reaction to DISH Network’s decision to dump the Elimination Chamber
pay-per-view from its schedule and basically the rest of the WWE
pay-per-views, WWE issued a statement on their own. "WWE is pleased that
the majority of our cable and satellite Pay-Per-View distributors are
giving our fans an option to purchase traditional Pay-Per-Views as we
prepare to launch WWE Network on Monday, February 24. Unfortunately, DISH
will not be doing so. We hope DISH will reconsider for this Sunday’s
Elimination Chamber Pay-Per-View event and especially for WrestleMania
30,” the statement read. WrestleMania 30 will undoubtedly be a major,
major loss in revenue for both WWE and DISH if the provider decides not to
carry it as well. DISH said that it will consider carrying WWE shows on an
event-by-event basis.


> WWE ANNOUNCES Q4 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTS
- WWE announced its fourth quarter results ending December 31, 2013,
before the market opened today, with revenues totaling $118.4 million as
compared to $115.1 million in the prior year quarter. The company had an
operating loss of $12.2 million compared to an income of $2.6 million in
the prior year quarter. Net loss was $7.9 million compared to an income of
$0.6 million. The decline and loss were majorly due to a heavy investment
in staff, talent, and marketing initiatives to launch the WWE Network.
“During the past year, we laid the foundation for future growth and
enhanced our brand strength,” stated Vince McMahon, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer. “We have now announced the renewal of our television
distribution agreement in the U.K., are continuing the negotiations
regarding our domestic content, and are poised to launch our global WWE
Network in the next few days. With preparations for WrestleMania 30 fully
underway, we look forward to celebrating our enduring legacy and ushering
in a new era as we blaze new trails in the media industry.” You can read

> HELL IN A CELL TOPS PPV BUYS IN PREVIOUS QUARTER
- The Hell In A Cell pay-per-view was the most successful in the last
quarter while Battleground was the biggest loser out of the four
pay-per-views which WWE offered between October and December. The first
Battleground did 114,000 buys, followed by Hell In A Cell with 228,000
buys, up from the 199,000 the show did the previous year. The Survivor
Series was down from 208,000 buys of the 2012 edition to just 177,000 in
2013 while TLC did 181,000 buys, an increase of just 6,000 buys over the
previous year. Survivor Series is the worst of the original top four
pay-per-views when it comes to buys and is no longer a draw as in previous
years. 

> VINCE MCMAHON MAKES FIRST PUBLIC COMMENTS ABOUT CM PUNK
- During the conference call held earlier today to discuss the quarter
earnings results, Vince McMahon made the first public comment about CM
Punk since Punk walked out of the company several weeks ago. When McMahon
was asked about the upcoming WrestleMania and a status update on CM Punk
by one of the callers who managed to get through. McMahon said that this
year’s WrestleMania will be big both storyline-wise and talent-wise and as
far as CM Punk goes, the Chairman and CEO said, “He’s taking a sabbatical,
let's just put it that way." WWE has avoided talking about CM Punk since
he quit almost a month ago and Punk himself has not used his Twitter
account since January 27, where he thanked his fans for all the support.
WWE has denied releasing him last week and Punk remains on the WWE.COM
website and his merchandise is still selling on WWEShop.com.

Lots of News Today

 BROCK LESNAR RETURNS
- Brock Lesnar, the former WWE and UFC champion, returned on RAW
yesterday, interrupting John Cena and delivering an F5 as the crowd went
absolutely bananas. The rumors have been floating around since Friday that
Brock and WWE were close to reaching an agreement and Sunday at
WrestleMania everyone was expected to see the "next big thing" back on WWE
television. However that did not happen and The Rock went on to beat John
Cena clean, leaving the opportunity open for a RAW return instead. As Cena
was waiting for The Rock to come down, Lesnar's theme song hit the
speakers and out came the former champ to one of the loudest pops in the
history of pro wrestling. Lesnar offered to shake Cena's hand and Cena
fell in the trap, soon finding himself in the F5. This was Lesnar's first
WWE appearance since WrestleMania XX back in 2004.



 LESNAR TO MAKE AT LEAST TWO APPEARANCES A MONTH
- PWInsider.com is reporting that Brock Lesnar's deal with WWE is good for
one year and will go through WrestleMania 29 where he could very well be
the main event of the show. The deal according to sources is for a minimum
of two appearances a month plus more during the time leading up to
WrestleMania next year. The website also adds that while Lesnar is
expected to make around 35 appearances - so don't expect him at
non-televised events - there could be more if both parties agree to an
extension of the deal. Lesnar arrived at the arena yesterday in Miami less
than a minute before his music rocked the American Airlines Arena and
although it looked like it was the company's worst kept secret, the fact
that fans were waiting for him did not by any means take any from the pop
he received.



 ROSS SAYS TAKER, HHH, AND HBK, REQUESTED TO CALL HIAC MATCH
- By the time Jim Ross left his home to go to Florida, he thought he
wouldn't be a part of WrestleMania except for watching it like a fan. What
he didn't know was that the Undertaker, Triple H, and Shawn Michaels were
pressuring the powers that be to have him call the "end of an era" Hell in
a Cell match. And when three of the most successful and powerful
Superstars all want it, you bet your ass it's going to be granted. "WWE
upper mgmt made it happen. It was confirmed late Friday night," Jim Ross
wrote on Twitter, revealing that it was all three of them who requested
his presence ringside and to do play-by-play of the match.



 ORTON REMOVED FROM THE MARINE MOVIE
- Randy Orton will not be starring in the upcoming WWE Studios movie
Marine: Homefront, after the Marine Corps complained to the WWE about the
bad judgment in casting. Orton was a U.S. Marine when he was young and was
dishonorably discharged from the Crops for going AWOL on two occasions in
1999 and disobeying orders from his CO according to TMZ. The former WWE
and World champion spent 38 days in military prison for his conduct. "I am
disgusted that his face and the word Marine are being used next to each
other - real or fake - because of the fact that he quit us, the country,
and the Marine Corps. Randy in the role of a Marine is a disgrace to those
that have worn and are wearing that uniform," said a Marine who served
with Orton at the time he went AWOL. WWE quickly rectified the situation,
yanking Orton from the movie and admitting their "poor judgment" in
casting Orton for the film. "Despite Randy's popularity, the fact that he
was dishonorably discharged from the USMC made it inappropriate for him to
be cast in this film.

Armageddon 2002

Today in 2002 the WWE held its Armageddon PPV from Ft Lauderdale Florida.

The main event was Shawn Michaels defending the World Heavyweight Title against HHH in a 2 out of 3 falls match.
Subtitled "3 Stages of Hell" this one started off fall one as a "Street Fight", fall #2 "Steel Cage" and fall #3 was a ladder match.
Because these are as close as brothers, Michaels and HHH wanted to blow the roof off and make each other look great and so they turned in one of the best matches of the decade.

due to the WWE blocking all videos of the finish of this match, this was all I could find and I apologize for that.
