I know it would be bad for the business to take out a competing company that employs a lot of good wrestlers, but I really want WWE to buy it and close it down or Sinclair to buy it just to take the timeslot for RoH or any other ridiculous thing that gets us millions of 'we got screwed/TNA was just getting huge so they shut down the competition/etc' posts

For every Bobby Roode, Samoa Joe, and AJ Styles there have been 20 Mahabali Sheras, Angelina Loves, and Chris Harrises.

TNA is pushing Mike Bennett as a top guy, just to give you an idea how much their roster got strip-mined the past two years.

In WWE's position, there's about 6 guys I'd take, not counting the Hardys, who I cannot imagine going back at the moment.

-Andrew Everett
-Moose
-Trevor Lee
-Eddie Edwards
-Drew Galloway (although I don't know how he'd feel about going back)
-Mark Andrews

You might be able to talk me into Storm, Abyss, and Marshe Rockett, but I wouldn't pay those first 2 guys the kind of deals they'd no doubt want.

Abyss is totally useless in a company that doesn't have a hardcore match every pay-per-view. Abyss is competent at hitting people with barbed wire bats but that's about all he has going for him. Iunno what he'd have to offer WWE.

Derrick Bateman, Daniel Bryan's Best Friend was the greatest character ever, Smackdown would only be improved by his presence.

You don't have to 8e a good person to 8e a hero.

Of course, while WWE are putting on two pay-per-views per month, TNA are struggling to pay the bills to show their second PPV of the year.

the perception of the observer from non-readers is one of the more interesting things about the wrestling fandom i think. like we like to roast dave's perceived biases and stuff but a large portion (majority?) of internet fans have only encountered his name filtered through scoopz clickbait so they think that's what the observer is too and it'd be funny to give them a stack of print copies like no it's really just some huge nerd who writes a weekly 100,000-word history of the wrestling business around the world and opines on whether some things worked or not. please read these two pages on the gates and revenue streams of the top mexican promotions as compared to 5 years ago and then get back to me

the last time meltzer even engaged in explicit scoopery was when he got worked on the cm punk non-return now it's all coded language about things he's been reasonably able to confirm on background from a few people

did I already post this in this thread, maybe I did
