Yes hello it is I Kurt's Secret Son


It's just a weird dynamic having Excalibur, Schiavone, and Worse Schiavone as the booth imo. I do not wish for him to be harmed or killed however.

JR commentating at 70 is like Hulk Hogan / Ric Flair / Undertaker wrestling at 55 - yeah he can kinda still do it but he should probably let somebody else have his spot.

Speaking of divisive things, Miro's new theme, Redeemer is up online and it's loving awesome but maybe not a great wrestling theme as it currently stands. It's an epic TV show theme, it's genuinely excellent, but I'm not sure how well it's going to translate with a crowd.

I love it a lot, but it needs a little bit more. Some kinda hook when he does his stomp.

ahaha, man. i think the horn fanfare is good enough for what Miro is doing and that's about all we'll get most entrances, it does get hella dramatic though

I think there was mention of the theme getting built up as time goes on which is probably a good idea, but I'm extremely here for a guy getting announced by a fuckin shofar before he brings down the literal wrath of god on you

i love that he prefaces the game over with the stomp the middle of the back, it's like the start of a Mortal Kombat fatality

edit: you could stick Miro right into MK12 or whatever with the Game Over, just have him roll back and take off the torso, give him a Zangief moveset

Wrestling themes absolutely need more stuff like shofars to vary the sonic landscape of the sport. I like a good, distorted guitar as the next white man in his 40s but I like variety even more.

JR learned from the Hulkster, he is politicking behind the scenes to keep his spot and keep down rising star Veda Scott, and its disgusting imho

Miro's theme doesn't need changing at all cause it's fantastic. What needs to change is his entrance cause just coming out and doing a little hop doesn't fit the theatricaliy of the piece. Give him some fancy lighting and something like the Randy Orton pyro waterfall and it'll be perfect

The problem is most of it isn't constructive. Most of it is either nitpicky or hyperbole.

JR is great when he's in a good mood and just reacting to fun stuff. Unfortunately that's not the JR we usually get. Everybody please try to cheer him up right before the show starts.

So anyway, in his Q&A podcast Sean Ross Sapp reiterated that the releases will have a domino effect a few months from now and (separately, though I got the vibe they were related) that a "big name" has a contract expiring this year and is planning to jump ship (whether from WWE to AEW or AEW to WWE or another promotion entirely he didn't specify).
