That's true. Hopefully when BCG unifies them we can right the ship.

Just remembered RVD is going to be back for this show. Hell yes.

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


On the plus side, building up trios teams means that when those titles are competitive again there will be people who are already established competing for them.

He gave a clear, unequivocal statement of support and then immediately underminded it. Don't make such a statement if you aren't willing to back it up. The OSAC or whatever their acronym made a bigoted statement towards one of his talents, either tell them to piss up a rope and you'll use who you want when running a show in their state, or you'll take your business elsewhere if that's how they feel.


Would you consider that it might be possible he is not sure which of these two options is preferable going forward? Which one Rose and others might prefer? That it might be worth taking some time to decide the optimal action?

If there were only one good choice then sure he should go ahead and commit to that. But you've already shown two equally valid paths.

Eh, it's not that random considering it's a tune-up match for the eddie-briscoe-cope vs. house of black match on the PPV.

They also tend to subscribe to the NJPW style of "let's have the feuding people do six-mans against each other so they can jawjack for a while and rack up some wins" - the elite vs penta-garcia-pac match from last night was that. Turns out having a wacky multiman where no one person needs to do too much is a good way to get TV time and ring time without effort or stakes.

any idea where it ranked for the night? it was up against pretty stiff competition with two nba play-in games last night, including one that tipped off at 7 pm and came down to the final second.

They’re going to lose viewers when they do women’s angles for a bit, until they build the division which they’re doing. Seems like they lost the most people due to the shittiest lead in imaginable and the mixed tag turning people off. It picked back up some for Ospreay and Claudio.

It would be cool to see them hit a million again but that’s probably a ways off. They should just be patient and build Ospreay, Swerve, Takeshita, bring MJF back and actually have Mone wrestle

Makes you guys feel any better I’m doing my part. Watching on FITE and TSN. Not my fault nobody cares about Canadialand. At least I’m not in Oklahoma. I kid to all my cousins in Oklahoma but seriously… Oklahoma sucks.
