They make $100M a year from Saudi Arabia for 7 more years

Even if their TV deals decline, they wont disappear

Yeah but no one other than the people I mentioned above will keep watching. They simply won't. People are ALREADY pretty fed up. My girlfriend's mom is a big mark, Roman Reigns fan. And all she could say the other night was how she wished Roman would go to AEW so she didn't have to see him fight the same people over and over.

and Roman Reigns having the temerity to talk shit about Punk "Not moving the needle" and fellating himself for "putting in the work" and "making it"

Bro I respect what you're doing now, it's good. But literally 99% of pro wrestlers out there would've found a way to succeed with the amount of chances at the top you were given. After fucking 8 years of trying and failing to get you over, they FINALLY, ACCIDENTALLY landed on something that worked and you're gonna act cocky instead of grateful? Fuck out of here. Punk got over more gimmicks than you have match spots. Douche.

Also Fightful said earlier this week Pete Dunne was offered a contract.

Considering the last episode of NXT featured Dunne in three separate segments, one setting up a future NXT championship match with Samoa Joe and another setting up his current faction for WarGames, I'm gonna guess he signed it.

Adam Cole cancelled his expected Twitch stream tonight, and Britt Baker posted that infamous shot of her from NXT. Rampage is already taped so it's possible that they threw together a quick vignette for tonight's show, but it's also possible he's going to appear on Smackdown.

Or all this means nothing and he's just trolling.

I don't really see why this matters, and either way it's very easily fixed

Looks fine to me. Like, I don't dispute this apparent technical issue, it just isn't severe enough to make the logo "horrible" to me

On Wrestling Observer Live during a discussion about this weeks episode of NXT and the impending changes to the overall product, Bryan Alvarez said that he has heard from people in WWE who are telling him that the new NXT will be produced by Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard.

Alvarez said, Like anything, anything can change, anything is possible but I talked a while ago about how were gonna have a new NXT. Its gonna be like the old NXT. I have heard from several people now that when they go back to live shows, this is going to be a Vince McMahon-Bruce Prichard production.

That sucks so much

I'm probably more sad about that wrestling death than like... any of them. Part of that is because I love Daffney but part of it is just knowing the circumstances too, it just sounds super sad.

I know TNA's screw up was like 10 years ago now but I wouldn't be surprised if she never really got her life fully back in order after getting saddled with all those unpaid medical bills and being unable to perform for a long time.

But who knows, really. A lot can happen in that time too.

So Brian Danielson in the media scrum said he was gonna respect the "Yes" chant as WWE intellectual property, which honestly makes no sense to me but whatever, and the fans can chant "Yes" if they want to or not.

So what would generate the first "Yes" chants on WWE TV post-Daniel Bryan?

https://twitter.com/Era_of_Bliss_2/status/1435068042266959877?

I mean, at this point WWE fans have no one to blame but themselves.

I think people are just super desperate for anybody other than Charlotte to be champion, and Bliss has always been atleast decently hot with crowds no matter how stupid or not her latest gimmick is at the time.

And so the question became what do they hate more, her current gimmick or Charlotte

But like I was saying earlier, this is WWE fans doing it to themselves.

It just reinforces everything bad about the situation.

"See, Alexa Bliss' gimmick is really over! And Charlotte Flair is a great heel! More winking doll segments, god dammit!"

The same fans cheered at Summerslam when Charlotte beat Nikki Cross.

It's hard to attribute it as "anyone but Charlotte" when they were literally happy she won the title a few weeks ago.

Fair point. So that means Nikki Cross was not, in fact, on the correct side of "anyone but Charlotte."

I actually remember reading something not long ago that opposite of Wrestlemania, heels tend to get cheered at Summerslam for some reason. Like, most of the top 10 loudest pops were heels winning or faces turning heel. I don't remember what the hypothesis on why that is was.

i dont think they give a shit because theyve openly said they dont WANT to scout indie talent anymore. They want to be the destination for big athletic types who dont know any better.

this is the price for Triple H losing the war by trying to be a super indie
