I saw the agent list for Mania and they were gimmick names. The ECW homage six man was conveniently produced by Abyss. Imagine if it had been produced by Joseph Park instead.

Prob hard to tell, since they shifted money around to different departments. Would WCW have been more profitable on paper if, for example, the PPV money went on their books and not Turner Home Entertainment?

Content is king

The company had 6/7 bad years (depending on how you classify 1989) and then had 2 red hot years. Easy to belive the bubble would burst (finger poked).

One friend sent me something tonight saying since Privacy/PII laws in the UK are different than the US, there might be issues with people whose faces were not blurred or and not did not sign waivers or such. I guess they were warned about that before the show. Might explain why they copyright struck every video on social media last night and today.

I'd have said the cover would at least vaguely tie into the plot, even if in a sensationalist way. I'd say the cover of just the hero with no particular conflict was the exception. But this is off to of my head at 0100 at work.

Tangentially, Brevoort discussed recently the whole “cover doesn’t match the story inside” way things are done now.

Would Osprey even really improve WWE from a business POV? Would his signing boost their UK business when they already have Drew and the rest (throw in Becky and Sheamus if you want to include the ROI). but he might sell PPV for TK and increase ratings (which we don’t talk about anymore). makes more sense for him too, schedule and money wise, on paper.

They had already Kitao at Mania in 91, so the idea was prob in back of someone’s head. And it was perfect gimmick for Rodney given his size and it employs another member of the family.

The drop off once they aired the footage will be interesting. if we still talked about ratings anymore, that is.

Someone joked the other day that this was TK pulling a Bill Watts. The funny thing is that Watts would have just let either Phil and Jack or before that Phil and the Bucks just fight it out in the locker room and been done with it, like Butch and Nord, maybe most notably. As Phil said , these thing s happen (or happened) in real sports. Imagine telling the non sports watching section of their fanbase about Michael Irvin and everett mciver.

Waylon Mercy’s RAW debut was against Jeff Hardy.

Maybe TK can hire American Balloon too.

And Heyman did a lot of it while “secretly” being paid by Vince. maybe Billy Gunn can bring back the Voodoo Kin Mafia.

Cena posted a picture of Link, and some people made the wild leap about Jim being in the Zelda movie. prob just a shout out to Cody winning.

RIP Trina Robbins, age 85.

I just noticed on game pass there was a costume quest 2 that’s a decade old now that ihad somehow ,issued.

If he wasn’t so radioactive, I couldhave seen him going with the company to the next KSA show and then conveniently staying behind for “negotiations” and not leaving.

Let him pose with Rey and Zelina.
