I don't have a problem with what TK said. It's what a manager should say. "It was an idea, I approved it and it didn't work. We learned and will move on" is pretty much what it says. The issue comes up if they don't learn in the future.
I wish we could just not talk about ratings like they are the be all and end all of everything. It's not the monday night wars anymore. Ratings would be part of the formula but social media engagement would also be part of it, and in AEW and WWE's case, its live "moment" television, that you should watch live for surprises or moments, making it not PVR Proof but at least PVR resistant. Content is the name of the game.

I am all for AEW starting PPV's earlier. I am in the Atlantic Time Zone, so 1 hour later then Eastern. The PPV ended at close to 1am here.

The change in dynamic when Regal got in there was amazing. Here you have these two ultimate wrestling badasses who suddenly feel like kids when the legendary master appears. Loved it.
I called in in a group chat:
"Kids, It's time to stop fighting. Daddy's Home"

Interesting that it sure did sound like Todd Pettengil was the narrator in this
I dont think it's Pettengil, it sounds more like one of the guys from the Bump

When you get almost an entire page of "You've chosen to ignore content by"; You know you've made the right choice.

Some time in '95.
Lane is awesome in that match. He and Gorilla were a great pair.
wasn't he there just long enough to get some surgery on his neck as announcers are employees and have insurance, and then left?

Lol, at $1,000 per video.
For that price, I'm hoping he at least shows some skin. Might have to wait for his onlyfans account for that one, though.
That price screams someone saying "you should have a Cameo" and him going "sure, but I never want to have to do a video"

Here's one that's always bugged me. How come no russian wrestlers ever used the Side Russian Legsweep?
Didn't want to perpetuate the stereotype?

Wow, how is this a thing? Can indies not afford two locker rooms?
I know in a lot of the buildings that we ran when I was ring announcing, they weren't built for events like this so the "locker room" may be a meeting room/lounge. If we were in a hockey rink ; we would have access to all the dressing rooms.

Was Kobe Bryant a wrestling guy at all? Trying to think off the top of my head if he was ever on a random Raw or anything.
In the crowd for RAW or a PPV at Staples I think

I can't stop them. But to paraphrase Tommy Lee Jones, I cannot sanction their buffoonery.
I didn't notice anybody cheering for referees on the superior wrestling show this week. Full NXT might be a step up.
I want the people who buy those to feel great shame. But I realize that in order to reach a point so low, you need to be beyond most shame.
Working a couple of Indy's as the Ring Announcer/"General Manager", I was told more then once that I was missing out by not having a 8x10 for sale. "You are the only one that is here every show, people like you, sell a picture" I always said no, because I'm not supposed to be the one selling stuff, but I wondered if I was cutting my nose off and missing out.

If they don't find a way to somehow sell these at college campuses, what are we even doing here?

It would seem like a weird choice after they've been doing fuck all with her for over two years, but I like it better than most of the other options. I know I don't need to see any of the Same Four Women win. Naomi needs more than being a dancing, smiling babyface to really get over with the crowd. They need to let her kick ass, and they need to stop basing all her creative on her being the wife of An Uso.
I don't have a problem with that but if they are going to do it, go all the way. Form that Bloodline Stable with Roman, The Uso's and Naomi. Only issue I have with that is they need an older statesmen type, the guy that's seen it all to lead them.

I dont understand why they stopped doing those. Cheap production, guys on legends contracts telling stories, someone from the office there to make sure the WWE story is out there. and most of them were great. (Not a huge fan of the Mike Graham ones and Flair was hard to watch)
