Vince Russo’s The Brand Recap – Russo as WCW Champion, Changing Landscape of the Wrestling Business, Undertaker Returning? More!

Russo is joined on today’s show by his co-host Jeff Lane and Glenn Gilbertti (Disco Inferno).

Russo comments on the growing speculation online, that WWE’s promotional image for the upcoming ‘Great Balls of Fire’ PPV resembles a penis and two testicles. Sasha Banks even tweeted this week that she actually agrees with the speculation and can see the resemblance. Russo doesn’t understand why WWE would blatantly do this given their ‘PG’ environment, and the fact that their target fanbase is mostly children.

Gilbertti points out that there was a recent study which concluded that the median age of WWE’s fanbase is 54. Russo is shocked by this news but it proves what he’s been saying for a long time now, that WWE isn’t making new fans. Gilbertti says that this number has nearly doubled from 28 in 2000, and today’s fans are mostly attitude era leftovers. He adds that WWE’s fans are literally dying off.

Russo says that wrestling isn’t ‘cool’ anymore, and teenagers aren’t watching today’s product. In turn, WWE is unable to generate and maintain new fans. Gilbertti says that WWE had the biggest increase of median fan age from 2000 to 2017 out of the 25 sports that were studied.

WWE 205 Live Results – May 30 2017

Welcome to the fastest hour on Television, 205 Live! You can find all the results for the cruiserweight show right here.

205 Live gets a huge appearance tonight from The Boss, Sasha Banks! The Boss has been embroiled in a feud with Alicia Fox, which has inadvertently involved both Noam Dar and Rich Swann. These four will battle each other at Extreme Rules in a mixed tag team match on the kick-off show. It’s unclear what Banks’ role will be on tonight’s show but she is likely to face Alicia Fox, with Noam Dar in her corner. That would mark the first ever women’s match to take place on 205 Live!

Elsewhere on tonight’s 205 Live, Neville was beyond furious on last night’s Raw, after he lost to Austin Aries via submission in a tag match. Neville was so angry he couldn’t even answer Charly Caruso’s questions after the fact. It seems Neville will certainly be out to hurt Aries in some fashion before they go head-to-head in a submission match at Extreme Rules. Neville will want to protect his Cruiserweight Championship at any cost and Aries should keep an eye over his shoulder!

On top of that, tonight we can expect some fallout from Akira Tozawa’s huge win over Brian Kendrick last week, and more of Drew Gulak’s no high-flying campaign. Are you excited to see The Boss? Let us know in the comments, check out the Ringside News app, and enjoy the show!

Future Plans Revealed for Sasha Banks

Coming out of Monday’s episode of RAW, Dave Meltzer mentioned on Wrestling Observer Radio that the company is setting up a mix tag match that feature Alicia Fox and Noam Dar vs. Sasha Banks and a male partner.

Meltzer indicated that Banks’ partner will probably be Cedric Alexander, as Alexander has history with Noam Dar and Alicia Fox prior to his injury. With Alexander scheduled to return from injury on this week’s episode of 205 Live, it’s very possible that they set up the match as early as tonight.

In regards to the RAW Women’s Championship, Banks isn’t expected to be put back in the title picture anytime soon. Right now they are doing a program between Alexa Bliss and Bayley.
