Funny you should bring that up as the latest RUMBLINGZ~! is that the Finals will now be on the Saudi show

Holy fuck that is some A++++++ trolling.

Now I'm imagining the finalists covered head to toe and you won't know who won until Raw.  ?

Whaaaaa? I mean, I can't see it being AEW and I wouldn't like it to be AEW. Maybe Bellator?

I doubt it would be Bellator, but if Bellator somehow pulled off Fedor vs. Brock in Fedor's last ever MMA fight, that would be hilarious.

How legitimate are those "insiders"? 

There are like 3-5 MMA insiders. Half of them are kinda shaky when it comes to breaking news.

More info from the Earnings Call:

Well Vince doesn't consider AEW competition the way WCW was because WCW along with Turner was coming after WWF with more aggression. But Nick Khan said "it's sort of like a horserace where the horse has blinders on" At the same time everything is competition. Sleep is competition.

It was mentioned that views are up for WWE PPV's thanks to Peacock.  Backlash viewership was up 26%, Hell In a Cell up 25%, Money In the Bank up 46%.

WWE plans to do "large-scale international events" again, so Saudi Shows. 

Lot of other good news businesses and ratings wise for WWE. They are also improving with sponsors. 

Anyway Wrestinginc will have the full write-up for the call.

When those fucks can actually remember to get me my dipping sauces I paid for and get my order here in less than two hours, then they can waste time on petty marketing squabbles. Get your own house in order before crying about petty stuff like this.

There were folks who did wonder last week if the death match stuff on their TV might effect sponsors. 

This was always going to be a risk with how much AEW likes to be the promotion that pushes the envelope now with the hardcore matches and content right now. It was bound to happen at some point. If Tony Khan is not OK with this, he has no one to blame but himself. 

Secondly, I fear this is a well they are going to far too often. It could set a dangerous precedent for AEW.

I think TK should officially “ban” Nick Gage from TV in a press release. This way Gage can ad a new moniker for himself, and maybe just bring him back for PPV’s. It would suck if he did all he was hired for, and gets nothing in return. Although he is probably a bigger name than ever before because of this.

I love this idea. They just keep their nose clean on Dynamite for a while, and Gage leans into the whole thing on the indies and gets to make some cash off of it. Win/win.

MJF tweeted that since Gage didn't win, he wasn't going to get paid. So now we have a storyline reason for Gage to go after Friedman, down the line.

So how does it work? Does Keith Mitchell, and TK know what commercials are set to air? I can’t believe Lynn didn’t coach them to do that spot right before that commercial break. That was easily the most effective picture in picture I’ve seen ever on a national.
