WWE chairman Vince McMahon has a lot of reasons to be unhappy like the declining ratings of his shows and his favorite superstar not getting over the crowd. However, the latest rumors imply that McMahon was even unhappier this week after a bad segment on Monday Night Raw and the announcement from FloSports.
According to Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required), Vince "blew a gasket" during Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman's segment this past Monday on Raw. Heyman was trying to get the Minneapolis crowd to chant for Goldberg but the pro-Lesnar audience decided to cheer The Beast.
Lesnar's hometown crowd started chanting "Suplex City" and "Goldberg sucks" which led to an awkward segment. The Beast's them music unexpectedly played and Alvarez noted that it was because of Vince's frustration and unhappiness with the crowd.
It is now speculated that the WWE chairman feels that they wasted a week of building Lesnar vs. Goldberg II at the Survivor Series. Also, he paid a lot of money to Lesnar and it just went to waste. The WWE should have known better that Minneapolis will never boo their hometown superstar.
On the other hand, the 71-year-old billionaire was also reportedly unhappy with the announcement FloSports' deal with WWNLive. FloSports revealed on Monday that FloSlam.tv will be WWNLive's streaming partner for all of its wrestling shows.
Some of WWNLive's shows include EVOLVE, SHINE, Full Impact Pro and WWN Supershow. FloSlam users can access all premium content on the site for only $20 per month or an annual fee of $150 per year. Annual subscribers to FloSlam will also have access to other FloSports network sites such as FloWrestling, FloGrappling, FloCombat and FloKO.
According to Cageside Seats, McMahon is unhappy with the new deal between FloSports and WWNLive because the price for independent content will increase. The WWE recently teased additional content from Ring of Honor and TNA Wrestling for the WWE Network.
It should be noted that the WWE is not involved with both FloSports and WWNLive despite the company working with EVOLVE in the past. Nevertheless, it is a big factor that a big company like FloSports will try to challenge the WWE with their new live streaming content.
Nevertheless, the WWE is still the biggest wrestling company in the world despite all their struggles this year. Check out the video below to see some of the details for FloSlam.tv.
