It's not just on the pro wrestling roster. It's completely company wide that there's going to be "redundancies".

It always happens with mergers and acquisitions, because why have full staff when you can gut the work force and make the remaining workers work double for the same or less pay. :smith: capitalism.

I know this is coming, but I am just trying to be positive. I don't think the merger is going to be awful especially with how Endeavor handles UFC tape libraries giving me hope for all of the holes on Peacock being filled.

I hope so. If we lose Saudi and have to pay for some PPVs, it is a necessary evil.

the holes on peacock is because peacock doesnt give a poo poo and is a bad streaming service not made for pro wrestling

i think WWE signed a deal with Saudi Arabia for 5 years of Saudi shows so dont get your hopes up

Two things:

1. WWE wasn't great at it when they owned the service.
2. Endeavor is going to immediately try to get out of that deal.

That Batista movie is on Peacock so I watched it and man.... it has the skeleton of a good movie. An interesting concept. But god is it bad. Batista clearly mails it in, the guy who plays Andrew heard he's in a Shyamalan movie and had to play his part in a very Shyamalan way, it was just brutal

Anyway, can't wait for night 2 to ruin all the good feelings I have about night 1

I’m not a WWE fan so whoever wins I don’t really give a poo poo and I’m still not going to watch the shows.

The only thing I care about is how loving funny it would be for Cody to lose because it would be incredibly loving funny if leaving the company he started to go back to one he spent years talking poo poo about so he could win the big belt his dad never did at the biggest show in the business ended in him not doing that.

Even if he just wins it at backlash or summer slam or some random blood money Saudi show it doesn’t diminish how funny this loss would be.

Please do the funny thing WWE.

To paraphrase something once said about good ol' Charlie Brown, of all the McMahony things in this world, this would be the McMahoniest.
