What's this I read on a German sports site about Spanish AS reporting that Christiano Ronaldo is gonna appear at the next Blood Money show? Have there been any reports about this from Dave or the other sources? I know the AS can often be full of poo poo, but CR7 is enough of a greedy attention whore diving piece of poo poo that he would fit right in.

I think now that Vince doesn’t have sole control, he’s going to be forced out/retired in the next few years. I just can’t see TKO/Endeavor keeping him on super long as he’s already 78, still has some lingering investigations going on, and could start clashing with Ari Emanuel as he’s used to being the top dog. I think Vince’s current role is going to be transitional and he eventually winds up with maybe a board seat, but no actual day to day authority over operations.

Nick Khan is a better choice to run the company from a business perspective at this point. Dude is a shark with a ton of entertainment industry connections and doesn’t have the decades of baggage that Vince carries. He’ll cut WWE to the bone and squeeze every penny he can out of it.

Have you considered that Vince's world runs on the same narrative laws as the Game of Thrones show, wherein the dude/lady most suited for any role gets shanked five minutes into their time at the top and the most horrible person in any given scene getting the power?

I mean the terms of the WWE merger were literally "This only happens if Vince comes back" and they didn't seem to care when the UFC owner was beating his wife in public so no I don't think they're gonna give two shits about any of Vince's legal problems unless he literally goes to prison.

Plus the government seriously going after Vince was a long shot when WWE was by itself, but no way they're going after Ari Emanuel's company.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I think Becky is still pretty talented all around, but they haven't had her do hardly anything interesting since the start of 2019. Hard to cut genuinely good promos when all your feuds are crap. Also knowing wwe there's like a 5% chance that promo was actually her idea and not some dumb script they gave her 10 minutes before.

becky's pretty much done everything in wwe already and they are bad at pushing/developing talent to move up the card, just general wwe issues. really only thing left for her stick around the top floating aimlessly as the same is to put younger/newer talent over, which again wwe is dreadful at doing at the proper time. the Man gimmick has sort of ran its course after a heel turn back to face turn. She's not as stale as say Charlotte is with her gimmick and what she's done in WWE but going back to win a developmental title you didnt get the first time through is real desperate spinning the wheels/last hurrah kind of thing unless she reinvents herself.

seth's another dude who is kind of just floating around at the top after already doing everything he can in wwe in any interesting way, even already winning the new world title. his current gimmicks been around for awhile and really doesnt have much going for it since he went from delusion crazy person hyped off his own ego to just kind of wears silly outfits but is a face.

Okay, I'll admit it took me a bit to get into it... But I think I kinda love this!! I'm Spider-Man!! I'm actually Spider-Man!! HA!
the Seth/Nakamura feud was really good because now the story is that Seth is wrestling with a hosed up back but refuses to take a break because he's the champ but also because he feels like he has to be the guy to carry the program

becky was in a long feud with trish that mostly sucked but it gave us two good matches, and now she's popping big ratings in nxt and letting everyone know how good tiffany stratton is

Aside from stuff like Rumble Wins and being in big gimmick matches... a huge WWE problem is that each brand has a roster of like 12 decent women and there are 3 main Women's titles that are all treated equally. Once you've climbed that small mountain there is nowhere to go.
