@orellanaecua Yeah he’s not, that’s not really relevant here though.

[LSW @ItsLSDub]

I will be absolutely floored if Carlos Silva retains any of his impending free agents

[Self Made AO 💫 @KXNGAO]

At least two TNA wrestlers have their contracts expire in the next month or two.

How was YOH vs Fujita? I really haven’t been keeping tabs on the BOSJ.

[LSW @ItsLSDub]

What an unpleasant waste of oxygen he is.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

WATCH: “Where’s the evidence? You’ve never presented any evidence.”

Unhinged, lying Trump has a MELTDOWN and WALKS OFF when @kwelkernbc refuses to let him get away with lying about rigged elections.

Finally some pushback.

Been playing the CFB 27 Beta, lots of fun.

Talla Tonga just pinned Royce Keys. I repeat. Talla Tonga just pinned Royce Keys. What a JOKE.

New video up on the channel!

The Bloodline have been reestablished by WWE creative in a desperate attempt to recapture the magic of 2023. But what problem are they really the root of? The answer is fascinating and it's in today's video. PLUS, we jump into Nick Khan's narcissistic, egomaniacal comments made in his Sports Business Journal interview and we hop into thoughts on last night's AEW Dynamite. Was partnering Kevin Knight with the Don Callis Family really the right move? And what's next for the women's division at All In? It's all in today's video.

1. Wrestling is subjective, there is no objective metric. But usually when talent is getting elevated and the shows feel rewarding, that’s a good sign.

2. No, I never said that. I said that there are people in the crowd who willingly forfeit their opinion in exchange for brownie points with WWE. Not everyone is this way. In reality, the IWC bleeds over into “casual fan” territory more often than people realize. Some people in the IWC are grifting wastes of space, others go to the shows and dabble in online discussions. It’s a spectrum.

[LSW @ItsLSDub]

The idea that the IWC or any noise associated with a keyboard is a worthless echo chamber of nonsense is close minded.

The IWC is a nasty place, but for better or worse, it houses the opinions of more fans than people realize. Also, I say it a lot but it’s more relevant now than ever, and I don’t care how harsh it sounds. The fans in the arenas who turn their brains off and let WWE piss down their leg are only made a “priority” because WWE themselves knows that those gullible fans are convenient for them.

There are fans who get their kicks watching year six of the bloodline. Those are real people. Their opinions on the product cannot be the barometer.

[WrestlePurists @WrestlePurists]

Nick Khan says WWE will never respond to social media criticism of the product, recalls a meeting with Shawn Michaels last year about accelerating the next generation of talent:

“We will never respond to social media criticism. If ratings are down, if revenue's down, if relevancy's down, it's up to us.

A year ago, we got together. Triple H, [Chris] Legentil, myself, a guy named Shawn Michaels who runs our developmental system, Hall of Fame wrestler. And we said, ‘Hey, look, we have John Cena on his retirement tour. Rock came back and now he's gonna be filming Jumanji and Smashing Machine at the time. Our other big stars, CM Punk's 46. We got a number of men who are 40 years or older and they're performing at the high level. We got to accelerate the next generation of talent. So what do we need to do to accelerate it?'

Shawn Michaels said we need to take them on the road so they get the crowd response of a live crowd. That's part of what makes wrestling unique. If you're getting cheered, great. If you're getting booed, great. If there's no response, terrible. So you need that live crowd to figure that out, so we made the investment in that.”

@clare_4th_burn Brother he’s a damn protege 😭
I didn’t mind it at first but they’ve extended it too far imo

[LSW @ItsLSDub]

Brother, get Ospreay away from the Death Riders. This angle has been drawn out too long and it’s to the detriment of Will’s character.

He isn’t a young boy. He’s a surging main eventer. Treat him like one.

[LSW @ItsLSDub]

Got a behemoth of a video going up at 10am EST tomorrow morning

[LSW @ItsLSDub]

The last 7 minutes of that main event, hat on a hat on a hat.

[LSW @ItsLSDub]

I don’t mind Ciampa/Jericho as a program. The support they established for Chris will do wonders for Ciampa’s heat once he pins him. Especially given that Ciampa was bordering on “cool babyface” territory, and I don’t think that’s a good spot for him.

[LSW @ItsLSDub]

Awesome to see Mercedes, she was in great form. I imagine that Mercedes will settle into more of a babyface role as All In approaches.

Thekla/Mercedes doesn’t get my adrenaline going. And the division is starved of top babyfaces, otherwise I would’ve looked at Thekla dropping it before All In. This ordeal highlights the fact that Mercedes should win the title at All In and become an anchor for the division going forward. Have her drop to Willow next year.

[LSW @ItsLSDub]

Well Athena vs Mercedes in the finals will be excellent

[LSW @ItsLSDub]

No rule that says Kevin Knight can’t just defend his TNT title in the midcard. Why does he need to circle the main event?

I understand that before he turned heel, he was already calling his shot. But if you knew you were gonna turn him, why even get that ball rolling in the first place? I don’t see the benefit in booking Kevin, who you’re trying to get heat on, versus the biggest heel in the company.

[LSW @ItsLSDub]

Jet/Speedball match was neat, really enjoyable. Thougt Kevin did a good job of incorporating some heel isms into his stuff.

His strikes were angrier, the spine busters near the finish were nuclear.
