I can see house shows going away, at least for WWE, post-pandemic. There doesn't seem to be any financial incentive, house shows have been losing money and they company has all their eggs in the TV rights basket. It's long been a "we do it because we've always done it" thing for them so now that they'll have such a long break from them it will be easier to just not go back to it. I could see them doing "special" houseshows that have tradition, like the Christmas week MSG show, but I just don't see them seeing any business reasons to start booking arenas in Podunk towns again any time soon.

This Roman heel turn is giving me vibes of when Rocky first turned heel, and was finally able to go off on all the fools who were shitting on him before. You can just feel Roman has years of venom built up, which is making this character really click on all cylinders. The only risk is having him spit too much truth as a heel and have him fall into "cool heel" territory, but I suppose that's partly why Heyman is there since his character is too slimy to have people get behind.

On top of everything else, Eddie Kingston's jersey game is unmatched.

Hope Tony puts a little extra in Shida's check for getting a decent match out of Big Swole.

Britt and Tony are the best.

Kobe and Lebron have very similar careers. Main difference IMO is that Kobe started off on a successful team and Lebron frankly wasted the early part of his career on a Cavs team that couldn't be bothered to find anyone to complement the once in a lifetime talent that was gifted to them. The fact that Lebron was able to do anything with the shitburger teams he was given in his first Cleveland run might be the greatest argument for his GOAT case.

More precisely it was the height of the "NXT will save wrestling from Sports Entertainment" timeframe, and the crowd was afraid Vince's model beauty queen who can't wrestle was going to go to the "real" rasslin show and be put over the hero of NXT. Eva played her part well, but the real heat was Bayley turning back the tide of the evil mothership like Eric Embry saving the USWA.

That is possible, Jordan is a notoriously thin skinned asshole IRL It's also possible he would probably just turn his social media accounts over to an intern who just posts stale platitudes and birthday wishes like whoever runs Vince McMahon's account. Honestly it's difficult to compare players today to those from earlier eras. The game has changed a LOT in just the last decade or so. Big men shoot threes like they are going out of style and when previously most never took more than one step out of the paint. Lebron does have that elite ability to run things on the floor while also being able to play at the level he does. Dude just sees the game differently than anyone else out there, which is why he ends up being a player-coach wherever he goes. Magic used to have that same skill, he would do shit that didn't seem possible because he would see openings and make passes no one else did.
