Even if that were true Boston wasnt losing this series. They are clearly the better team.

..and Mookie just robbed a home run...

Here's the thing about the Mookie play. He was going to catch the ball.

It sounds like DAZN is already losing money in the U.S. but outside of the U.S. they stream soccer, NFL, Rugby and all sorts of other stuff. I'm not sure if they are in good shape with that and if that's partially a reason why they can throw money around like they just did with Canelo. Maybe it's another Netflix situation too where everyone is wondering which tech company is going to throw billions at them to buy them out.

I believe Kazarian left WWE to go back to TNA. He went there and won a bunch of matches on Velocity. I'm not sure he even lost a match and then left.

So from the previous posts, the Canelo deal was an 11-fight deal worth a minimum of $365M with DAZN. I don't have the streaming service, I've heard mixed reviews on stream quality but they are acquiring some nice properties. It's amazing that now between this, ESPN+ and the other network deals the days of spending $80 on a PPV are all but done.

I was happy with last night.

That Evolution segment delivered. Batista was out of his mind awesome. The expressions lol

No argument there, I think instead of adding the MYC Finals and the UK title, they should have been more concerned about rewarding the women who have busted their ass for years but that's not really ever been Vince's style.

I'm not disagreeing that the Bellas were a part in all this. But it had to do with wrestling. The NXT women were putting on great matches down there and if you recall Sasha, Becky and Charlotte were all brought up at the same time and Stephanie went on about how they were here to change the landscape and it's a new day for women's wrestling, I think she even said it's a "revolution" or what have you and I don't believe a battle royal where many of the talented women are thrown in and won't be able to display their skills is staying true to what this was supposed to be. They only have about 20 or so main roster performers. There has to be a better way to utilize them.

@odessasteps posed the question that maybe this is what the majority of fans want which you agree with and I'm saying that the #givedivasachance hashtag that blew up in the twitterverse was about giving these women who were underappreciated more than a few minutes to shine. It was about wrestling. It was about the ladies in NXT and the women on the main roster. It was never about part time performers, comebacks and battle royals.

It seems like there's a disagreement here that the "evolution" wasn't about the in-ring product? I mean we can debate that I guess but I thought it was pretty clear that's what this was all about.. it started in NXT and grew from there with the "#givedivasachance" hashtag. So with that, I don't see how one could say that Asuka's talent (and others) is best utilized via a battle royal that has been thrown together with no build.

I felt there was an opportunity to showcase the women's wrestling abilities, that's what this entire "Evolution" was about.. it was the females being given more time to perform and then having awesome matches that were sometimes on par or better than what the men were doing. Becky vs. Charlotte is exactly the type of matches that I envisioned for the show. A legend's match is a cool idea but I don't know if this tag match is the right way to go about it. I understand why they'd have Nikki Bella be Ronda's challenger but it's going to be a lot of smoke and mirrors and probably overbooked with tons of interference. Then you have the battle royal and the (assuming since it's not yet announced ) six-women tag which there was obviously no thought put into any of that...

Wasn't Hunter already in the main event scene before he started dating Steph? The argument that was made is it was that relationship which granted him more opportunities to follow.

After all these years we've finally discovered Parts Unknown.
