It's an easy payday I don't blame him

Looks like MAGA didn't make the Hulkster any more beloved to the audience lol

I suppose now that they got that Netflix money they can have Raw in MSG more often.

good lord Rhea committing murders and she's not even in the ring yet

Noted California indy superfan Danielle Fishell (seriously she is) in the house!

The fans cheering Super Cena win one more world title at Wrestlemania is such a great send off.

This is like a WWE New Year's Dash show setting up all the Mania angles.

Yeah, the last time Hogan came back there were multiple stories about how the locker room wasn't really wild about it and the crowd reaction was tepid at best since at least half the crowd seemed uncomfortable cheering a guy exposed as a racist shitbag. They pretty much have to, for multiple reasons. If they try to rug-pull his deal they know he's not afraid to sue them over it, and if they try to force it to happen Jesse is absolutely the guy who will cut a promo on Hogan and bury the shit out of him.

Loyalty to business partners is a big thing in Japanese culture so him going off script like that (even in the attempt to sell an angle) was going to cause an issue.

Also Dustin Rhodes having a match in the Tokyo Dome in the year of our Lord 2025 is fucking wild when you think about it.

I agree the women should be higher up on these shows, but I'm still kind of shocked that women in NJ shows is actually happening. Not to give them a pass but they're pretty new to this whole women's wrestling thing it's going to take a minute to get the hang of it.

So I was reading the luchablog and CMLL was dropping a hint on their news show that they would be working with Stardom, which is interesting since they normally work with talent agencies and freelancers. A pairing like that is gonna bang pretty hard.

Oh I absolutely prefer the way things are now, but it just seems like HHH took the lessons of everyone hating Vince's booking to heart to the point it feels like he's gunshy.

So Tiffy finally cashing in after months of teases made me think about how a criticism I keep seeing about the HHH Era is how it seems storylines are getting drawn out too long now. It sounds like a crazy thing to complain about after decades of Vince tearing up scripts every day and starting over, but it does seem at times we've gone too far the other way.

Real ones remember the best use of that song anyway:

The Dynamites/PPVs from 2019 are up on MAX now, with the rest set to be added on a rolling basis. While I know MAX doesn't quite have the reach of something like Netflix worldwide, but I think this is quietly going to be a boon for AEW to be able to get eyeballs from the growing audience that either stopped watching linear TV or never did in the first place.

Okada-Ospreay was amazing, two of the best to ever do it showing why they are in fact two of the best.

Mox has been pushed as an unhinged violence enthusiast since the start as his AEW debut was him murdering Kenny. His current character seems like the next evolution of that so it's fine by me.

With AEW streaming on MAX and Raw on Netflix in 2025, it feels like we've crossed the Rubicon in terms of traditional TV being the primary source of income for national promotions. Especially when WWE's all but said they'll probably want to have Smackdown on Netflix at some point, streaming is going to the focus of the next media deals when they come up for renewal. It's a fitting bookend to how programming from the local rasslin' territory was the way a lot of early TV stations filled their airtime up cheaply.

My thought process when they announced that was "well that makes no sense, but fuck it, that match is gonna bang"

I was surprised as well, that was one of those things I just assumed happened at some point Also it looks like they are hyping Penta showing up on the first Netflix show with the "0" vignette on Raw tonight

Cody finally willed the Winged Eagle into existence, good for him!

JFC it looked like Iyo knee'd Liv's nose off her face.

took me a little longer than it probably should have to notice the refs were in the old school powder blue shirts with bow ties

ITS PAT
