    I was always partial to Legends Roundtable. 

    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)

  2. 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.

    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"

    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.

    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.

    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.
