Niners Fan in CT

Still hoping for the 'Snake Pit' footage to surface. This promo here from Jake on Hogan is incredible.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiFvXgnGpxE

I felt some of the criticisms were valid in that the match took a while to start getting to the point but the second half it picked up and turned around. I felt the crowd was even into it in the second half. I rewatched some of "All In" the other night and I felt like they were invested during the final 5 minute stretch. One issue I have seen? It takes a good bumper to sell the Mone' Maker well. Like a lot of things in wrestling, you are going to have to trust your opponents and that is not as easy move. Now, I would recommend everyone go watch Mercedes vs. Momo from NJPW the other night because not only was the pace far greater in the match, the entire match layout was great and the finish to it was awesome. I don't view "All Out" as Mercedes having to prove anything, anyone can go watch the match with Momo and see that she's still got it and she was playing the babyface in that match. I believe a couple of our members said they were at the show, it looked like she was leaning into the babyface role for that crowd. What I do think happened is that Mercedes and Shida had a decent match to start "Dynamite" and few weeks ago and Shida was screwed near the end so this will be the full version.

She just had a great match with Momo Wantanabe at the NJPW show on Friday night.

This was a mixed bag for me. On the one hand, I did enjoy most of the storytelling beats going on with Liv/Dom and then Finn/Priest to go along with all the Punk/Drew drama and Roman returning. On the other hand, I didn't love it from an in-ring standpoint. I thought Priest vs. Gunther was very good but everything else was just solid or average.

I also used to be a longtime subscriber and canceled about a year ago. I don't want to listen to Bryan anymore. I am also tired of all of the tribalism in wrestling and they were at one point fanning the flames.

I'm way out of the loop on this drama. What was the issue that Britt brought to MJF's girlfriend?

It got very weird. NBA carved out a 3rd package for Amazon which was for $1.9B/year. WBD decided to try to match that package which apparently was within their right but the NBA argued they didn't truly match the deal since it's an all streaming deal and Amazon has further reach in that department. WBD is arguing that Max + TNT is a "match". So now it's headed to court. some people in the industry believe WBD is just trying to get the NBA to pay them to go away.

I didn't like what I had seen of Logan Paul before he came to WWE. Then he came to WWE and started putting on some great performances out of nowhere and admittedly I was impressed with that and it also seemed like several of the wrestlers were going out of their way to say what a great guy he's been etc.. But now I'm reminded of why I didn't like him in the first place and this is horrible. I don't want to see him on my TV.

They are up to around 45,000 now. They have it setup for 51K but maybe they'll open up more seats. I read somewhere that Taylor Swift has a concert around that time and her staging is taking away some of the capacity. I don't know if that's true or not.

'Lassie' could put some butts in seats..

I don't think Mercedes will allow it to be mediocre. This show..... was a show.... there wasn't much on it other than Darby/Hangman that I really liked. There wasn't much I hated. It just a step down from the previous few weeks but it's alright, hopefully they have some cool stuff planned for next week.

Zaslav appears to have blown the NBA on TNT deal, is he going to mess this up? What's Turner going to have left on cable, 'The Equalizer' and 'Infinity War' for the 100th time?

It's getting good. They caught up with Mercedes and Kamille in the backstage area after that and Lol https://twitter.com/DrainBamager/status/1816664975513124973

Okay here's the best quality I've seen so far. https://twitter.com/twcworldwide/status/1816633737830105129
