I'll tell you what, as someone born in 1985, I've spent the last few decades wondering what it was like to live through the bicentennial, fantasizing about a legendary summer, and hoping something similar would happen again in my lifetime. So far America 250 is a big bustola.
The biggest wrestling companies in the world should be held to the highest standards. Theoretically they have access to the best wrestlers since they have the most resources. The fun for a fan comes from getting lost in the moment which requires meticulous planning and execution.
Triple H encourages fans to have fun with WWE and not take it too seriously.
“The other aspect of that is I think that people lose perspective of sometimes is, we’re just fun, man. We’re fun and sometimes people take it too seriously, sometimes people get too caught up in it, but it’s there to entertain, man. There’s a lot of stuff going on in the world. If you just want to turn off for a couple of hours and tune into something cool that you can just lose yourself in and have a good time, WWE is the place to do it. If you’ve never seen it live, I’m telling you, come to a live event, come to one of our PLEs, come to a TV. There’s nothing like it in entertainment.”

Let's stop giving power to people just because they have money. Give power to people who mean well, try hard, do good, and have the knowhow to back it up.
I'll oversee at least 120 full-scale independent wrestling events in 2026. That works out to one show every three days. If you've known me for years and want to see what I'm up to, please come to Rhodes On The Pawtuxet in Cranston tonight. I can guarantee it'll blow your mind.
We got everyone good & nobody bad booked for the "RRD Pain 💀lympics" this Saturday afternoon, 6/20/26 at @RalphsDiner in Worcester.
All tickets for this 21+ event will be on sale at the door.
Come early for the Worcester Hot Dog Safari eating contest & Heavy Metal Flea Market.
FRIDAY, JULY 17: "Beyond Wrestling Does A Secret Show Or Something Or Whatever" at White Eagle in Worcester, MA featuring the return of @orangecassidy! Tickets go on sale tomorrow morning at @ShopIWTV. 🍊
The beauty of Beyond Wrestling over the last five years is that we've taken it away from people who don't like it, don't respect it, don't want it, don't need it, won't support it, want to tear it down, are jealous of it and we've given it back to the people who will cherish it.
Set aside the time today to watch one of the best indie shows of the year. Every single supershow at Rhodes On The Pawtuxet in Cranston feels like a mix of classic ROH and current AEW PPVs.
