They start with Virgil!!

Le Champion's Thanksgiving celebration!! You think Cody costs MJF that "beautiful dynamite ring?"

In their case, they need to find ways to get videos like the one that aired in the countdown to Full Gear on TV. That was an amazing video. I know vignettes lose viewers and ratings are important, but stuff like that would definitely help in getting them over.

I thought Bischoff would have laid low after getting fired from his new job in 3 weeks, but nah, trying to dunk on Dave to get his heat back sounds sooo much more mature, doesn't it.

Imagine getting owned by fucking Bryan Alvarez. Corey is a whining idiot.

I'm really glad the NXT wrestlers are being put over though. Road Dogg arguing on Twitter that wins and losses don't matter when he was the Smackdown writer was some putrid stuff. NXT wrestlers needed to be put over to appear like stars and I am glad that has happened.

One of the commentators is just putting himself over literally all the time. In one of the local promos, the commentator literally copied Austin and said "That's the bottom line, because *commentator name* said so." Apropos of nothing, but 2005 TNA actually had really good Hindi commentary when Sonjay Dutt was a rising star.

This does not matter to any of you, but the Hindi commentary team is absolutely abysmal.

Rhea is a fucking star. Goddamn Rollins is terrible in vignettes. And on the mic. And while cutting promos. Urgh.

Oh yeah. Absolutely. Stephanie putting him in his place in one of the Women's Rumbles made my teenage crush re-ignite for her one more time.

I should perhaps shut the fuck up, but I would just like to state that I have been suffering from depression and genuinely serious mental and personality disorder issues. If you think shit is bad where you live, imagine how horrible it is in India, where even mentioning you have mental health issues can lead to mockery. I really REALLY sympathise with Mauro's personal health issues. So many things which he has expressed on Twitter: I really understand what he is saying, and it breaks my heart that there are those who do not understand his emotions. However, he is just not a good announcer. It is what it is. He genuinely makes me want to tune off and watch something else. He could have made 10,000 puns about Baker and Cole, but I would still have groaned. Sometimes, we are just not good enough to succeed in what aspect of pro wrestling we think we are good at. I hope Miz AND Mauro find their niche, but as of now, I don't think anybody really cares what happens to them or what happens to any of them, because WWE has spent a generation teaching fans that nothing matters.

No expressing pride or resting on laurels until Seth deletes his Twitter as well

Keith Lee is so charismatic. It's like the Incredible Hulk has come to life. I really hope he is never ever booked like just another guy grateful to be a part of the WWE brand, because he is extremely special.

He was not. It was supposed to be a joke. I didn't get it. Omega has never felt like a superstar to me. And Meltzer keeps saying he is an excellent promo, but I haven't seen it yet.

I was reading an old Observer, and Meltzer mentioned this in passing - Anyone know what the story behind this is? This feels like it would have been an amazing visual.

The one they would be unhappy with is Santa a and Ortiz v. Private Party losing the most viewers. I don't know what was happening on NXT at the same time, but you would generally expect Proud and Powerful to do well in the ratings.

Vaughan's average definitely fell when he became captain but yeah he remained good. 2-3 years ago, I would have put Kohli behind Smith Root and Williamson in test batting. Now Root has fallen off that level and I would put Stokes ahead of him in the last 2 years.

Root should bowl himself given he is creating more of an impact with the ball rather than the bat these days. Being captain of the England cricket team really ruins your batting unless you are Gooch.

Curran got Williamson with a ball that just spat at him out of nowhere off a good length, but otherwise yeah, there's been nothing. I'm hoping enough cracks develop for days 4 and 5 to be interesting, although the weather doesn't appear swing-friendly.

I am guessing Archer comes to life suddenly in the 4th innings and takes 6 wickets for 20 runs.

I mean, he also made the standard "people who think this is racist are the one stereotyping so who is the racist here?" bullshit argument, so it's not as if he did not say anything stupid. "People who escalated it to being racist must only have this in mind when they think of black people or chicken." That said, NWA and Dave Lasagna are absolutely not the victims here. Between this and ROH, it's not been a great week for wrestling management.

Meltzer also reported that some people have said that there was also heat on Cornette because they felt that his constant criticism of AEW was having a negative effect on their product, given that AEW Dark and NWA Powerr have a lot of overlapping viewers. It really seems as if cutting ties was a matter of when, not if.

It's like they are finding out right now that key demographics are a thing, and that tv rating websites always rank shows by demo ratings. Poor Meltz was losing his mind on Twitter at being called an AEW stan for pointing it out.

In a mask, while continuing to rant about AEW on Twitter or podcast and staunchly denying any connection to "that masked goofy outlaw so-called manager moron."
