I imagine NBC have had some serious words about how many billions they pay for the WWE rights over the last couple of months. Fox having Roman and Brock play out on Smackdown whilst NBC having a guy with Triple D titties as Champion does seem somewhat unbalanced.
-
Just like when they won the Premier League, if Liverpool win the trophy it'll always have an asterisk next it.
-
Looks like Tony Khan was on the IPA's early last night.
-
I'd rather they get Ember Moon first. Mercedes Martinez is a good addition but as Tony Khan hyped a surprise her debut fell flat. Toni Storm could be good to bring in round DoN. If there's one thing they need it's better women.

The cynic in me thinks she will "commit suicide" at some point. The amount of dirt she must hold on the upper echelons of society must be phenomenal. Donald Trump's "I hope she's doing well" comment after she got caught on the run was pretty telling.

@6666 Tony Khan making a tit out of himself again by distorting the figures from that flimsy algorithm. "Numbers lie and liars use numbers".
-
I'm looking forward to the show tonight. Hopefully Cody takes the TNT Title off that prune Sammy Guevara and we can forget he ever beat Miro.

I was listening to a Business of Sport podcast with John Textor on and when his position with Benfica was discussed he used the example of Bernardo Silva leaving Benfica for Monaco and then joining Manchester City for a significant sum. He said he wants to try to convince the other Benfica board members if they could cut out the middle man in Monaco through a loan to a Premier League club for one season to inflate a players value then it would be more beneficial for them in the long run. He also revealed him and the other three stakeholders hold meeting on a weekly basis in regards to Crystal Palace. Which was news to all of us as we assumed the other two American investors had lost all interest. It would be interesting to see what he sees in Botafogo. I imagine his main draw to them other than history and production line was there fan base which looks pretty mental.

This is one if several examples where they literally towed Tony Khan to knock it out the park. This week he had a 60 man iron match end in a draw.
-
Did they ever explain that on TV?
-
It sounds like Kevin Owens is staying with WWE. Wonder what they do with Cole and The Bucks from here.
-
What he perceives as a lucrative business opportunity will be different to football nerds like us. What are Real Madrid's finances like at present? I know they're not as bad as Barcelona but if he's working with one arm tied behind his back and payments to him become an issue then its not the appealing job it was five years ago.
-
If he's available and still looking for opportunities in football then I'm surprised Newcastle are not looking to match any of his demands.
-
Rumours were he went to Barcelona to get a tattoo. Whether it matches with the time-frame I'm not sure.

Firstly i'd hire Ian Riccabonni and Caprice Coleman from ROH to give the shows its own sepetate feel and to allow the other commentators to concentrate on the other shows. I'd drop the current formula of short squash matches I'm favour of longer more technical bouts to appeal to those that were fixated by NXT and ROH. I'd then split the roster in to three. You'd have your Dynamite/Rampage guys (the people that appear on those shows every week at the minute), you'd have your Dark people (the people who struggle for TV time) and you'd have people that can appear on both shows (those that appear most weeks but just lose all the time). I'd then develop a system where anyone appearing from indies goes through Dark first. Unless they're a big name like The Briscoes that everybody wants to see. Ex-WWE can go straight to Rampage/Dynamite depending on there standing. Steen and O'Reilly definitely but the likes of Kross, Scarlett, Taya etc should go to Dark where they can be major players and show how good they can be. I'd also have a Mens Singles Title, Womens Singles Title and a Tag Team Title exclusive for Dark with the caveat of an 'Option C' type clause that can be activated by whoever is the Champion the week after one of the main four PPVs. The Men's Champion can go for the TNT Title, the Womens Champion can go for the TBS Title and the tag team champions can go for the tag team titles. That'll increase the importance of holding the titles around the time of the PPVs and enable good story arcs with importance on the show. Call ups between the two shows wouldn't be seen as a big deal. Tony Khan would just make a call based on a person's recent wins/loss record and current story plans. That formula would create job opportunities for those affected by ROH and Vince's dementia whilst keeping the likes of Brian Cage happy. Everybody wins.

Ring Of Honor from 2013 until 2018 was awesome. The best live event I've been to was a Ring Of Honor show.
-
Yeah for an opening match against Dark Order. I agree the goofyness is OTT with The Bucks at the minute and that's not going to stop any time soon given they're starting a feud with The Best Friends. I imagine when Kyle O'Reilly arrives Bobby Fish will tell Adam Cole hes tired of the goofyness and go and reform ReDragon. I think Adam Cole is stuck there for a while though with Mount Rushmore and a potential feud with Kenny Omega given Omega was showing signs of being more serious again before his hiatus.
-
Bit of a stretch mate to compare that to Jurassic Express mate. They were just having fun at Halloween.
-
Given the way Braun appeared at Final Battle I took it as a 'wherever EC3 goes you'll find me'. Impact will hopefully move quickly to get that faction but I imagine Tony will like more toys.
-
I imagine the issue the club has is that it isn't the first time he's breached an agreed protocol. You can't have your Captain comitting multiple disciplinary breaches.
-
I think Dante Martin's ceiling is higher than Jungle Boy, Guevara and Darby Allin's at the minute. Regardless of the four pillar thing theyre pushing. He's been the surprise of 2021.
-
Yeah l, I'd hate to see what Jurgen's real teeth look like but you cannot criticise his efforts to make the fans feel like they are a part of the great success they've had under him.
-
I'm sure the correct documentation has been provided to the FA so they can make a rational decision over whether a postponement would be necessary.
