WWE for Raw brand (nowadays the b show) are renting smaller buildings for the shows like AEW does for some shows, and are reducing the prices of the tickets.

Next stop, Cape Cod Melody Tent!

Based on some of the stops they had for Raw in 1993 in the Northeast, that wouldn't be strange at all.

Your posts about the weird, tiny places they ran were exactly what I was thinking of.

I was enjoying Taylor Wilde's return. She's been a favorite of mine for years but I had a feeling that she wasn't long for Impact because her appearances had started to get pretty spotty.

Kyle 'Oh, really?' O'Reilly's WWE contract expires next month. ReDragon reunion perhaps?

Posted

I had no idea it expired next month.  That does explain why he's not doing much of anything aside from tagging with that tall dude.  So if he were to leave then yeah ReDragon reuniting would be swell.

I'd love to see O'Reilly in AEW, not sure about Johnny Gargano but everything I've heard, he's really dug into great character work lately. Adam Cole came over and hasn't had any Shawn Michaels inspired kick out epics, so perhaps Johnny Wrestling could fit in pretty well...

And then apparently between December and January we also have Steen and Sami/Rami potentially becoming free agents. I think you can fit all those guys in with the current roster, although I makes you want another hour or so to Rampage.

Steen and Big E letting everyone know that Steen is going to AEW:

Not sure about the wacky sound effects but that seems like a good indication of what's going to happen come January.  Seeing Kevin Steen with the edge he had before WWE would be really cool to see in AEW.

I would imagine that Rami stays unmasked, the dude has fucking loads of personality and it would be completely weird as hell to go back to the old gimmick... Although it would be wonderful if he initially showed up with that and then finally unmasked and revealed to the world that he was El Generico all along! ?

Sami Zayn performs on the main shows. El Generico shows up on Dark and reveals that Fuego Dos is one of the orphans he moved to Mexico to care for and starts tagging with both Fuegos in trios.

On the flip side, I just learned Dunne mind-bogglingly signed a new three-year deal in September. ?

Yeah, I have mixed feelings about this one. I'm glad I get to see him more, but get to see him do what and with whom isn't necessarily too inspiring.

Random question but does anyone know what's going on with Triple H? I saw some people on Twitter mention that they think he might be in rougher shape than WWE is leading on to believe and I know he was just recently in the hospital for something.

He had a heart attack in August or September.  The company has downplayed it publicly but he hasn’t been seen since at any WWE functions and is reportedly being kept away from business operations, so the general assumption is that it was more serious than the WWE has let on.

Damn, that's very sad. Trips has gotten a lot of flack in the past, mostly for that reign of terror in the early 00's but I'll be damned if that guy hasn't poured his heart and soul into this business. Hope everything is alright for him, especially with those kids at home.

Keeping him away from business operations after heart issues just seems like common sense to me. Can't help but think people are maybe reading too much into him not popping up.

watching the Austin/Pillman home invasion RAW and part of me thinks the Iron Sheik showing up in a suit and sunglasses for the Sultan is a cool look for him, and part of me thinks "how fucked up is he that he's wearing big sunglasses" (in the spirit of how so many 80s wrestlers in sunglasses were trying to hide that they're taping in the morning after a long night of partying). Also impressed that the Sheik's knees were good enough in 1996 for him to get onto his knees and back up with the prayer rug spot.

On one hand, AEW doesn't have room to sign everyone but on the other hand it's not the worst strategy to be able walk into a negotiation with a tv station and list all of the top stars (including a ton of guys who are just coming of WWE TV) you have. Inevitably, if this roster keeps growing you'll see more content on TV, which is good financially if not so great creatively.
