Why are WWE stans obsessed with comparing the Fed with cinematic universes? One would think they be into AEW instead if they like the idea of shared universes since AEW actually interacts with the rest of the wrestling world.

Recent studies have shown that WWE fans share a lot in common with comic book nerds in that they are both loving moronic dumb dumbs

Why is your guy who's gonna be challenging for your #3 title at Mania losing randomly on Raw? How do you have a six minute tag match end in a no contest. Good god this company is poo poo.

I watched a WOR youtube video about it and apparently the idea was Gunther was playing ~mind games~ and also establishing a contender for Sami post-mania.

It's funny, on paper most of those matches sound pretty alright to great. I've no idea who Ivly Nile is but Bronson Reed vs Sami Zayn should slap, Ricochet vs McDonough should be great if you are able to forget about the Speaking Out allegations around the former Jordan Devlin (don't forget about them or overlook them). But man. That's the thing that makes WWE special, they take a great roster and the end result is a 6.27 match

Speaking of WWE wasting wrestlers, wasn't there a young wrestler who was getting hyped up and had a match with AEW, they were a student from Rollin's wrestling school, and then they got signed to WWE and I remember it being a "big deal" that AEW didn't get them

But I can't remember the name, I think they were British.

Ben Carter, who worked those AEW matches without a visa during the pandemic without telling anyone, got signed to NXT UK and renamed Nathan Frazier and in the 3 years since then he's aged approximately 20 somehow

The most notable thing here is that every single one of the matches has both TV time and "actual" time listed, and they're almost all like 50/50. A 15 minute match with over 7 minutes of commercial break!

Thats not entirely raws fault though. Watching things on regular cable is crazy after a few year break. It's like 4 mins of content, 3 of ads all for medicine on every channel
