I love me some Thatcher but I don’t think he’s gonna be a do 5 big moves and go home guy. So I can see why some people wouldn’t dig him.

He's also a lot better than haystacks calhoun or big daddy. I would posit, however, that he is not up to hilbilly jim's level

My favorite thing about Thatcher is people thought he was an accountant since Dave said something of him being busy during tax season, but it turns he's just a manager for California water rec place.

Sounded like he covered literally every angle possible from them not having any offers on the table from the major players from one to how much exposure they'd get to if in 3 years that might be the way to go to who their current suitors are and that one of them would have them running streaming only events. What else would you want?

He completely missed the boat on my question and is now 0-3 in answering Tuesday Nitro questions. I do hope he someday asks Terry Funk about his gig on Beyond Belief though!

why would the UFC join a streaming service when they've got one of the best curated streaming services on the market?

Dana suggested that they will listen to offers for their TV deal from OTT services. They have no such offers and are just trying to drive up the price.

Sometimes Dave fighting with people on Twitter can be a bit tiring, and than you have today where people argue that Indy/New Japan guys aren't draws like WWE guys and Dave lists of why Jim Londos would be the best based on drawing!

Dave was pretty silly/playful last night in contrast to how overbearing he has been the rest of the week.

The main event WWE guys make some of the best money out there, but Mid-card and NXT guys don't make near the amount of money good indy draws do right now.

Lower card WWE talent spend about half of their earnings on the road - hotel, car rental, food etc. Good indy draws have their expenses largely.

The Smackdown live event payoffs being really bad these days is something I've heard recently. But you don't really need to be told that just look at attendances.

Also be under no illusion things like NXT and 205 Live are efforts to lower wrestler bargaining power, the value of a WWE contract etc.
