Charlotte and Andrade have entered the (dating) Transfer Window, TMZ says a judge signed off on their divorce in October.

Hearing the song "Heartbreaker" by Pat Benetar on the radio and reimagining it as "Armbreaker", a song for Penta.

Although Penta in the "Love Is A Battlefield" video would be a visual too. Penta leading a group of people doing the Cero Miedo gestures to intimidate someone in a bar. (edit: just thought of the nicknames "Penta Benatar".. or "Pat Penta-tar")

And at the risk of making light of divorce, does three divorces mean that Charlotte Flair could be the Elizabeth Taylor of Wrestling? Although Taylor had 3 divorces and a death before she married Richard Burton

What? Penta leading a bunch of luchadore WW2 pilots to blow up a bunch of Nazis in a remake of "Shadows of the Night" doesn't appeal to you?

i'm sure there's a good Mexico/Hispanic-centered WW2 movie that could be made to tap into the genre.. some of it might even be based on a true story too

just need a line or two of dialogue to explain why El Santo is masked and fighting Nazis in Europe

Fox owns Tubi outright, so Evolve being on Tubi would indeed be a WWE/Fox relationship.

Correct, but it's not as if they announced those guys being feature on Tubi or anything during the broadcast. They sent Melo, Nattie, Nia, Tiffany, and Chelsea to the PBA event.

Talking about Tonga Kid/Tama...it's crazy that he was main eventing WWF shows in 1985 teaming with Jimmy Snuka when he was only 19.

So your point is that WWE people going to Tubi events and promoting a WWE branded show means that WWE and Fox - who again, own Tubi - are NOT in business with each other?

There’s a punchcard.  Once you get 5, you get a can of Woooo Energy.

Sigh. No. The US Open broadcast was a Fox event. I was speculating on if they were just there for the heck of it or not. I did mention the relationship in my initial post.

Fun fact from Meltz:

Quote
  • Alexa Bliss signed a five-year deal with WWE on Saturday negotiated by agent Dean Muhtadi (formerly Mojo Rawley). I will say that everyone insists to me the deal was finalized at the last minute and was not this plan to get one over. The fact Bliss replaced Shotzi in the match also at the last minute would indicate that as well.

WWF @ Erie, PA – Civic Center – August 20, 1991
Wrestling Challenge taping:
The scheduled bout between Ricky Steamboat and WWF IC Champion Mr. Perfect did not take place due to the champion’s back injury

oh man, that match would have ruled even in 1991 (they never faced each other)

That's like how they were talking about Ricky Steamboat wrestling Ricky Morton in tages during the York foundation era. I guess they had 3 tags but never a singlea.

I was cleaning out my car yesterday and found a stack of unopened Observers. Felt good to heave them right in the dumpster.

I think the point is that WWE didn't send a bunch of Evolve wrestlers and then have Rob Stone point out the Evolve/WWE-on-Tubi relationship. 

I suppose we'll still get WWE supplying replica world titles to the winner of the PBA Playoffs, too, but it's strange that they don't make their relationship more explicit post-Smackdown-on-Fox.

When does the Meltzer pushback go too far and we start giving him credit for treating wrestling like an artform and putting together a system to analyze and criticize the artform.  He's not perfect by any means, but I still feel like Meltzer's ratings are a decent baseline on what is and what isn't good.  You may disagree with him like you would disagree with Roger Ebert or John Caramanica, but having someone who's taste you can reference is valuable when assessing any artform.

It's funny you mentioned Ebert because I think (with the benefit of hindsight, of course) that a "thumbs up/down" system would have benefitted discourse and been a much better way to illustrate that baseline, as you call it. The star thing is cool and all, but I think it causes folks to get wrapped up in the minutia a bit too much. "I can't believe that was only four stars from Dave, I have it at 5" - so in other words... you both liked the fucking match? Idk maybe it's just me.
