Prioritize what is fun in your life.

@BackupHangman You know what would have made this a huge deal? Putting it in the main event.

Who says no?

[Thomas Rathert @thomas_rathert]

@AdamSchefter It is a travesty that this team is moving indoors.

@JFreshHockey Would someone dare try to offer sheet for Bedard?

[Thomas Rathert @thomas_rathert]

@JoshYohe_PGH If that's true, then how come other sports leagues don't have this issue? The Knicks just won the NBA Title, not much of a warm climate in NYC. The Seahawks won the Super Bowl, not the most appealing climate there either.

ESPN on ABC showed off a One Shining Moment-esque NHL montage (to "Baba O'Riley") to close out the Stanley Cup Final coverage. 🏒📺🎥🎙️ #StanleyCup #NHL

@Steve_Dangle Freddy or Bussi for Game 4?

[Thomas Rathert @thomas_rathert]

@WrestlePurists @davemeltzerWON possible settlement at the 11th hour?

[Thomas Rathert @thomas_rathert]

@ESPNInsights Can @MKE_Baseball make it 3?

[Thomas Rathert @thomas_rathert]

@davemeltzerWON NBA and NHL Finals. I know the NHL isn't as big of a draw as the NBA, but they're playoff ratings are up year over year rather significantly. The Olympics really helped with this.

[Thomas Rathert @thomas_rathert]

@Cheddars_Balls @Rygi13 How is it financially prohibitive? We should be adding more college sports instead of cutting them. Why not add a gymnastics or lacrosse program?

[Thomas Rathert @thomas_rathert]

@BackupHangman It's just like a sports team firing a head coach despite the team having success. The Vegas Golden Knights in the NHL is the perfect example of this. Despite being in a playoff spot with 8 games left, they fired their head coach. Now, they're in the Stanley Cup Finals.

[Thomas Rathert @thomas_rathert]

@UrinatingTree At least they have the Frost? (Although they did get eliminated last night)

[Thomas Rathert @thomas_rathert]

@jimmyvan It's probably a long ways off, but who do you think they would sell to?

[Thomas Rathert @thomas_rathert]

@davemeltzerWON I get why this is this week with Mania, but still interesting considering the Stanley Cup playoffs start on Saturday, on ESPN. Does ESPN view WWE as more valuable than the NHL?

[Jim Biringer @JimBiringer]

I saw this coming a mile away.

Ahead of the curve. Wrote about this when the deal was announced

ALL THE HIGHLIGHTS 👇

[Thomas Rathert @thomas_rathert]

@BackupHangman I don't know why, but it feels like either someone or some people in creative really want a Hell In A Cell match at Mania. It seems like there have been a number of feuds pitched to have one at this show.

[Thomas Rathert @thomas_rathert]

@TravisBOUND I like combining the mascot names into one. Sun Spartans sounds kinda nice.

[Thomas Rathert @thomas_rathert]

@davemeltzerWON I thought Nielsen got rid of the fast nationals, and solely for this reason.

[Thomas Rathert @thomas_rathert]

@BackupHangman Remember when Elimination Chamber was for a title and not just a match to determine a challenger for a title at Mania? Feel like this year could have been the best year for the WWE Title to be defended here. Drew vs Cody vs Fatu vs Sami vs Randy vs Trick.

[Thomas Rathert @thomas_rathert]

@Peter_Bukowski What if we got a PWHL team here instead?
