@MiseryEater101 So they shouldn’t have signed Ricky Sosa ?

[Billy @BJames1969]

@MiseryEater101 They brought her in for only 3 loops this year.

[Billy @BJames1969]

@MiseryEater101 You seem to think TNA bought her a lifetime U.S. work permit. That’s not how employer-sponsored visas work.

[Billy @BJames1969]

@MiseryEater101 If TNA agreed to release her, who exactly was manipulated?

[Billy @BJames1969]

@AthenaPalmer_FG It’s remarkable that Athena is now within range of passing both Roman Reigns and Hulk Hogan in length of title reign. She would pass Roman’s 1,316-day reign on July 19, 2026, and Hogan’s 1,474-day reign on December 24, 2026.

@this_is_acw No Andrade ?

[Billy @BJames1969]

@InnocentSinful Yup 😂

@AndrewBaydala And NFL teams stay in places like the Four Seasons, Waldorf, or Delano—non-casino, controlled environments. WWE talent were staying in open casino hotels like MGM Grand where anyone can walk in off the street. That’s the difference.

[Billy @BJames1969]

@AndrewBaydala NFL teams bring 100+ people into Vegas and don’t have players getting mobbed in hotel lobbies. That’s not luck—it’s planning. Controlled hotels, security, restricted access. WWE chose the opposite and it showed.

@davemeltzerWON If the underlying Nielsen count differs by ~14K, that makes sense. The 68K figures are derived/rounded from the rating, so they can mask the real variance.

Are you using raw Nielsen person counts rather than the reconstructed demo estimate?

[Billy @BJames1969]

@davemeltzerWON Both weeks are being reported at 68K in P18–49.If the viewer count is same and the Nielsen universe didn’t change, the rating should be effectively the same (~0.050x).A move from 0.054 to 0.046 would imply roughly a 10K swing in demo viewers. That doesn’t align with 68K vs 68K.

@DavidCAndersen Such a great display idea for magazines.

@80_wrestling The NWA at the Civic Center drew 7520 paid ; they say 9400 were actually there. The WWF at the Spectrum drew 9100. Not the sellouts in Philly of the Hogan era but the live event business was still very healthy.

[Billy @BJames1969]

@80_wrestling Look how loaded this card was. As I said, NWA ran the same night with their Great American Bash tour.

[Billy @BJames1969]

@80_wrestling This really was the last hurrah of Jim Crockett promotions. They were drawing nice houses on this Bash tour but by November Crockett was near bankruptcy and sold to Turner.

[Billy @BJames1969]

@80_wrestling Wwf had a loaded card with 3 title matches because NWA ran the same night at the Philadelphia Civic Center as part of the Great American Bash tour featuring War games. Since Philly was a battleground city for WWF/NWA in the late 80s, we had great events. I went to War Games.

@TNAIWChannel @datila_ @BurtMaclin11 @SaveMe_RSK17 Shelley & Sabin should be separate entities now that they are fighting in singles divisions.

[Billy @BJames1969]

@The_yellowbone Josh vs EY. I loved all TNA callback spots. Josh had so many great matches in his title run that I don’t think this match gets it’s due.

[Billy @BJames1969]

@The_yellowbone @JovanMalik1 Purrazzo vs Grace in 2020

[Billy @BJames1969]

@mattkoonmusic He booked his own programs.
