Someone refresh me: wasn't there a stink made about this a couple of years ago when NJPW/ROH ran MSG? I could have sworn I read about some kind of legal wrangling or something on the 'exclusivity' front.
After MSG was booked, wwe threw a fit and MSG tried to rescind the booking. Then Sinclair’s big time lawyers said uh this isn’t how this works. And MSG quickly backed down.

Perhaps I’m mistaken but looks like Twitter has quietly removed the google translate link from foreign language tweets. That’s just gonna mean less engagement with the platform and advertisers from me. It’s definitely one way to do business.
Edit: I noticed this from looking at a few tweets from wrestlers/wrestling accounts I follow so that’s how it ties in. If it sticks I’ll just unfollow the accounts then.

I'll take mine with no pickles and no onions. At BK, have it your way...YOU RULE!!!!
Yes, I know that's getting stuck in someone's head now. I'm being Not So Nice Guy Eddie.
My little kids sing this. Part of me can’t help but think how cute it is, but I’m like damn this advertising has successfully embedded itself in their little brains and now they are doomed forever.
Oh well, time to go get them some Chicken Fries (tm).

I was going to start with positives but then that shitty fucking band with the lead singer in blackface (???) happened. I was texting updates to my friend who wasn’t watching, and I mentioned how wild thing was played twice last year and the fans loved it, so I wonder if theyll do it again or keep it running new jack style. And then that happened. Totally distracted me from the match until they mercifully stopped.
Statlander back ruled. That really saved that match and scenario. After all that, taya hits the finisher and Jade kicks out, then wins with it? Lol.
Just like the match last ppv with jungle boy, the ladder match totally over delivered and even though I didn’t care about the outcome, I thoroughly enjoyed the match.
I want to see Swerve vs OC. The battle royal was entertaining.
JR was like a totally different person tonight. He did call Karen jezebel, but he was telling the story of the matches and he even corrected taz on something! I was like wow who is this new commentator.
When Briscoe started that match, he had this amazing look of seriousness combined worth surprise. Like he just found out he was the president of the United States and he wants to do a really good job. I loved it.
Man that storm vs hayter match was just awful. I don’t know what was going on there, obviously I guess she needs surgery or something but she was taking a lot of bumps here. Blatant interference in front of the ref over and over. Would have been way better to announce she was injured and call off the match. I guess they wanted to get the belt off her rather than do the interim bs again, but the results really sucked.
the four pillars match was definitely a match that took place. Everyone worked really hard. But it sure felt like a total waste of three months.
At least forbidden door will be totally different from this.

I already ordered it. It’s going to be a good show. The main event will be entertaining. And I’ve got a hard exit time from the in laws house today.

A very good point. There will be a price tag, to some lower than others, where you will just look at it, look at your fridge, TV and couch and say "Yeah, I guess the PPV will do, just fine!"
That’s me right there. I went last year and it was great but I can just watch this one at home.

I posted about that first after seeing it in the wrestletix update. Dang people are weird.

I'm sure many will point to the show having cooled a bit, but I think there's also something to be said for having exhausted the market having run it so much (not to mention the insane cost of everything, everywhere - I'm sure Vegas is no different, if not worse just due to the nature of, well, Vegas).
Flights are way up this year. Plus the holiday weekend everything is more expensive. Typically to fly to Vegas from the Bay Area flights are $200. I’m going next month and my flight is $300. This holiday weekend it would be $400.

They’re up over 10k now but they’re comping like crazy. There’s a restaurant at Tuscany Casino advertising free tickets if you purchase a burger and fries. On the jericho pod Rafael morffi said comped tickets have about a 40% usage rate. So they’d be somewhere around 9k in actual attendance, 8k paid.

Some tv news
He also mentioned that “they’re working on it” when asked about plans for the All In broadcast.
edit: and he said it was Zaslav who wanted more aew on tnt. That’s why there’s a new show.

When I joined the queue for United center (just for kicks, I’m not going) there were 1950 people ahead of me. So these collision attendances should pick up. At the very least this will be a good crowd.
edit: 45 minutes in there’s no more queue and plenty of lower level seats on the hard cam side, so maybe not.

Presale code for United center if anyone can make it.

I really hope the Vegas crowds are not as low-energy as they were tonight. It could be the acoustics, but the crowd sounded half asleep and dead most of the night. Not to mention, they will only be about half full in the T-Mobile Arena on Sunday if they are lucky.
Not trying to defend a quiet crowd, but it’s Vegas at 5pm on a Wednesday. No traveling fans. The Sunday show won’t have a great attendance but there will be traveling hardcore fans and they are already over 7k out of a potential 13.5k.
I said it for the last cycle at revolution, but they really need to stop trying 2-3 shows in the same week in the same city until they are way hotter.

Well that’s not good at all. Damn that sucks. What a reaction they got before the matches started too. That was fun.
-
Damn I knew that spot was bad but figured she got out of it ok.

Wasn’t expecting that. Aew could’ve had that speech if she beat Jade when she was first hot. But new japan got it. That was a really good show. I’m going to watch the Vaquer match again later. Masked revolution mentioned that she has a work visa and is available for bookings.
-
Wish I could be there but I ordered the ppv. Attendance is over 3k, that’s the biggest us attendance since 2019. The card looks great.
-
Code “rewards”. 4 upper level seats for $63 total can’t possibly be beat. If you live in Vegas that’s a steal.

It’s all a work to drum up will he or won’t he in Chicago for the debut of Collision.
I have spoken.
Even if that was the case and Punk simply didn’t want his return announcement to be at an advertising presentation, this would be really bad storytelling. Now the fans are turning against Punk for sure because of how this narrative is going. Is he supposed to make his triumphant return in Chicago as a heel? Be a super face in Chicago and a super heel everywhere else?
To me it’s just like mjf at the last double or nothing. Everything got really weird and unlikeable. Turned me off a lot.

Tweeting is the easiest way for me to share how awesome this fan in the background is.
I like the way they are making the ppv main event more of 3 vs 1. That makes it more interesting to me, but I’m still not that excited about it.

And prudential center in July, so they are going big.

Bix is on my good traders list from 23 years ago so I’ll vouch for him if you need a wrestling tape.

I know this vague stuff doesn’t help anything and it’s all speculation. But man oh man what is going on.

Well it’s still saying it will happen. Hoping for the best. Show starts at midnight for me, I’ll see how late I can make it but I’m not a youth anymore.
