Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Atout's career path is weird because she was with Impact for a hot minute, then she was AEW for like a show after a big talk up, and now I half expect to never actually see her on MLW.

The weirdest thing about Alicia Atout in AEW was that they all started by all mispronouncing her last name and then just changed her name to Alicia A.

Gabe lost all his hard earned credibility the day he started going BUT WE HAVE WWE STARS as the draw for WWN shows. You could tell especially in the SHINE locker room that people were absolutely put out by this. Mostly because their bookings became even more laughable.

WWE should outright shutter Evolve because nothing of value would be lost honestly. That or just make Evolve the new network like version of NXT where the people they dont use can wrestle or just loving something. Evolve is such a joke.

I still get their newsletter and its the saddest thing. Gabe hyping those pay to play seminars with current NXT guys leading them. Gabe hyping NXT guys who don't have locker in live only main events.

They would never do that when this is a much more efficient way to exploit talent that barely gets their hands dirty. Get the guys you want on shows you don't have to run yourself and have your lackey "pay for" running the shows.

Wow, Bix. First K.Rool, then Steve and now SEPHIROTH? Your dream game is real!
I started to wonder recently why they don't open third party bookings back up to both get ring time for and ease the mental ennui of the warehoused talent. Then I realized that they would consider it a liability as a public company and never do it.

...although it would have the byproduct of making the indie scene reliant on WWE, so I could see them liking that part.

Which is funny considering when Tim was in Evolve nobody liked him (and the NYC crowd particularly heckle the poo poo out of him and will for probably the end of time). I used to be super into Evolve and even I didn't really like Thatcher until I started watching wXw.

To be fair, his run as champion basically killed his mystique in the US. The material he was given in EVOLVE was dogshit and didn’t suit his strengths at all but they kept on going that way for like a year and a half.

remember when evolve put on their 10th anniversary show in their 9th year as a business

remember when it was gonna be put on the wwe network, and it just happened to be running against the AEW charity show for victims of gun violence

remember how that was all one big coincidence and it was just the launching pad of wwe starting to put independent shows on their streaming service

remember how they haven't run a single show on their network since then


man what a funny coincidence that all was.

Yes, although in Necro's case it's generally believed that it's as close to brain worms as it can possibly be without involving literal worms. He would talk with fans about his interest in leftist politics all the time.

As for the Euro WWE affiliates on the Network: They have had the deals in place for years. Literally. But Vince always vetos it. I don't doubt that they bit the bullet for the Evolve show in large part because Fight for the Fallen was that night. But there probably is also legitimacy to it being in that weekend's PPV city/the WWE crew being able to help out being a deciding factor, as well. It looked more like a professional, WWE product that WWN doing it on their own and sending it to WWE would be, I'm sure of that.

Necro’s brain is pretty much mush. He talks like an american version of MMA fighter and definitely brain mashed guy James Thompson. Getting punched in the mouth all weekend is bad for you.
