The perfect grift: develop your reputation as a journalist over half a century, make an offhand comment on Twitter, and watch the money pile up

Boy, GCW sure has succeeded in making their world title completely about Dave Meltzer and not either of the guys actually feuding for the belt, huh.

I guess, possibly, this person has never known anything but the show being a bad surprise every week. But that's kind of sad to imagine.

Wrestling in an All Elite Wrestling is a spoiler, I want to tune in with no idea what anyone's doing. Maybe it's Hungry Hungry Hippos. I'll have to watch to find out!

With how WWE is booked it makes sense that they wouldn't have a match card. Or even know what that is.
Hell, sometimes you don't even get a full match card for a PPV.

It must be a big shock for people who've only ever been exposed to WWE and nothing else that match cards are announced ahead of time. And that that's the norm.

Surprises are only necessary if your show has nothing else going for it.

In the TV guide when baseball is on it just says "baseball". Not even whether it's major or minor league. Blacked out coaches bring the teams to the closed arena. Fans are banned in case the presence of Red Sox fans lets you know it's a Red Sox game.

In fairness, WWE doesn't need to announce their cards. You just need to look at what they did last week and you'll know what matches are happening.

My TV guide just says “SPORTS” and sometimes I’ll turn on expecting cricket or rugby or a good sport only to get some rich twats making a horse do silly things. They call it “dressage” but I personally think it’s just an attempt to annoy the Sports Universe to make them appreciate the two nights a year of good sports.

I think she's just saying that AEW is trying to dominate the headlines of that weekend by having Punk debut the day before SummerSlam.

Which, y'know.

The rumors of Punk and Bryan signing just so happened to show up right after Money in the Bank happened and Cena and Goldberg returned. :shrug:
