Not a fan of hot shotting the world heavyweight title. Since Wrestlemania it’s went from Gunther to Jay back to Gunther to Punk and now to Rollins. 4 different champions and title changes in four months.

Scrolling through YouTube and came across this video. Hopefully they can work something out. https://youtu.be/6FBPRC8eb80?si=4v1s42X-ICaefrqN

It was a fun show. Dropped out before the Battle Riot match to watch Duke collapse against Houston, so I’m glad I had it to come back to and help me forget about that disappointment. Barbaro Cavanario quickly became a wrestler I want to check out more of their stuff. I was entertained. Some surprise entrants, a few guys I hadn’t seen for a while, a lot of lower tier luchadores, but not a bad show for free.

Opener was ok. Not great, not terrible. Old guys got their stuff in. Janai Kai vs. HIMAWARI up next.

Anyone watching? Show just started. Six Man Tag Team Match Atlantis, Atlantis Jr. & Star Jr. vs. Barbaro Cavernario, Magnus & Ultimo Guerrero

I keep seeing people say WWE is at an all time hot period and honestly just wondering what that is based on. I know it’s not tv ratings. It’s not Star power. It’s not mainstream recognition. Live attendance? Money? (Adjusted for inflation?) just as a fan there’s not much I’m interested in. It’s not bad but at least to me it doesn’t feel like an all time period. what am I missing?

Checking out MLW One Shot out of curiosity, tried a few MLW shows before but never found anything that kept my interest for very long. We’ll see if there’s anything good tonight.

You’d think so but we live in an age where the rich and powerful have 9 lives.

Vince just sold 5.3 million shares of TKO stock for $411,950,000 dollars. That’s only 1/4 of the stock he owns. I’m sure there is some type of noncompete agreement in place, and I’m definitely not saying he should with all the legal and moral issues. But the question still crossed my mind.

TNA/Impact is partnering with Endeavor for a TNA+ streaming service. Interesting news.

I haven’t been this happy about anything in wrestling for a while. Give Punk a live mike Monday Night and Raw is must see tv for me.

So Edge is going to turn on Sting and Darby and setup Edge and Christian vs Sting and Darby as Sting’s retirement match, aren’t they?

Nexstar. Not quite as evil as Sinclair, but still not great.

Before my time, but pretty neat that Crockett had a live studio show in Roanoke, VA about an hour away from me at one point. Masked Men, Good Guys, and Heels: Wrestling at WDBJ (retroroanoke.com)

Guess that makes Mostert and Achane the Usos, Tyreek Hill is Solo Sikoa, McDaniel is Heyman. Who's Sami?
