So, money and the optics aren't as bad. At least for now. Just say money.  |

Undertaker is starting a Patreon which will pretty much be a podcast you pay for it sounds like.
First Patreon, next step OnlyFans.

First ever PPV from Germany, Bash in Berlin, will be held Saturday August 31st, 2024 from the Mercedes-Benz Arena.
I bet they're getting a nice fee for this.

Every picture of Vince now looks like he’s a toddler who drank a glass of chocolate milk and no one has the balls to tell him to get a napkin and wipe that shit off.

We're at the point where Flair is being called "Cool Joe Biden" and Vince is "Even More Evil" Walt Disney.

Peeps, your quip highlights one of my main criticisms of WWE. It could air at any time, but WWE says, "Let's just throw it on in February with the rest of the black stuff."

Maybe it isn't a fair criticism, and maybe it's a Hulu call. But it just looks...odd. You can celebrate a cool story about some awesome people anytime. |

The fact the pandemic was the best thing to happen to the WWE is equally impressive as it is sickening.

Realizing that Wrestlemania was never really held at Trump Plaza has me shook. Wondering what else from my childhood is a lie...

Happy that she’s probably getting paid a bunch and it’s rightfully so. I worry she’ll be jobbing to Princess Charlotte in no time.
We never got Mercedes & Giulia. Dammit. Wish Tony would swoop in, but this would be a huge get for WWE.

Excellent signing here. When I recapped Dark, Madi was a hidden gem that’d always get her opponent over. Plus she has a great look too.

I’m not sure where else to put this but did Chicago really host 3 somewhat major events of wrestling by two companies from Wednesday to Saturday?! I’d have to assume attendance was down for all three? At some point this Chicago market can’t handle all of this wrestling,can it?

They could have sold more tickets to Survivor Series. Nowhere left to put people. I say that having barely watched a minute of WWE outside of big shows since Summer. I say that having believed the two major companies were going to destroy Chicago with the number of events. Reminder we aren't always the center of the wrestling universe. WWE is thriving. |

Yeah they drew 16,000 on Friday for Smackdown, and then another 17,000 for Survivor Series on Saturday.
AEW drew 5,000 on Wednesday for Dynamite.

That’s insane. 5,000 at Wintrust is close to a sellout for wrestling, right? I can’t believe this market can support a week like this just a couple months after all the Labor Day shit. |
