TKO, as an entity, has a major task on its hands right now: it has to win the hardcore fans back.
They may care about the casuals, the top line, the mainstream fans, celebrities, and influencers. They may not care about the hardcores now—but they will start to worry about them when the casuals become hardcores, which is what they want.
The letters TKO are becoming somewhat stained in the eyes of wrestling, MMA, and boxing fans. We should never be talking about TKO as fans—that’s the parent company.
They’re ruining the sanctity of what we love so much. The mat now has ads everywhere. The table has ads everywhere. The apron has ads everywhere. There are no more backstage vignettes, no more interviews, and entrances are being lost—it doesn’t feel the same anymore.
Watching that promo again… McAfee says the show sucks, ratings suck, the champion sucks, and the Attitude Era was better. How is this supposed to entice people to watch Mania? The mentor vs. the student incorporating old footage is all they needed. This pivot was really bad.
@joeyjo35t Yeah. So don’t if you are trying to avoid spoilers. This has been a rule for over a decade now. What about all the other sites and people that have posted? You gonna go yell at them, too?
AJ Lee used her first promo in a decade to talk about mental health and the importance of talking to people about that.
What an absolute hero.
Do all of these things. Be kind to yourself.
AJ rules. 🙌
Every time I see a video of an adult taking a baseball, or a hockey puck, or whatever else away from a kid at a sporting event, it drives me nuts. What are they going to do with it? Try to sell it? They’ll do nothing with it. But it’d mean the world to the kid. Grow up.
WrestleMania 31. Watching this live, I remember wondering why Paige was getting emotional after the match. As it turned out, AJ Lee's final WWE match was one night later on Raw.
I'm a big fan of Rhea Ripley but I hope WWE has read the room on this CM Punk/Becky Lynch stuff. If the plan is *not* for AJ Lee to return, Rhea as the alternative will be considered a letdown based on how this was put together. Hunter understands that, right? ... RIGHT?
Met these two just under a year or so ago and they have been a blessing to the professional wrestling fan base and community. They have become our biggest supporters and cant thank them enough! Y’all the reason we do this! 🫶🏼🙏🏼🫶🏼 #ThoseFnFans#ThoseWholesomeFans
