It's honestly really weird to even analyze the two big companies and even like TNA bc of the sheer ratio of their revenue being predominantly the TV deal. Ratings are key to that obviously but when you have 3 years it's hard to necessarily care about the right now (and again don't hot shot, save that for year 3 if needed)

And on those last WWE financials we saw how little of their revenue slice their record live events even were so a down attendance isn't really hurting business either, so you kinda have to make yourself care where back in the day you couldn't even try and ignore it bc low houses meant you couldn't run shows and pay talent. I'd wager maybe they should do smaller, unique venues so the look can be a positive instead of the same boring venues with less full crowds. Kinda like the Arlington shows but with a cooler venue lol Hammerstein for that Collision is a good start

Even AEWs PPVs are probably such a minor revenue stream compared to the new TV deal and that's with them getting a crazy good split. Right now they can afford to be insanely complacent and a lot of people probably would, but Moxley seems determined not to let that happen

Did anyone see the shit between Gabe Kidd and Kenny Omega . Kenny on Sean Ross Sapp said he it was an accident and said kidd was good in the ring but he knows more Greg's in wrestling than gabes which is understandable.

He said he didn't want to just come back and take someone's spot on the show now he's back as it wouldn't be right . That's his much of a good guy he is. Be nice when he's back as we might finally get an Okada v Omega on Worldwide TV and casuals will see what we know that when the guys get in the ring magic happens but Kenny said he's taking it one day at a time as he can't go like he once did and maybe it has scared him and rightly so as diverticulitis is very rare in someone Kenny's age.

Did anyone notice that it was all ex WWE wrestlers in the main vent when swerve faced Shelton. I think it's gonna be AEW OG's v HURT SYNDICATE with swerve joining them.

Like when we had The Elite v Jericho's first group

I can’t wait til the Dynamite where The Death Riders are running havoc over the roster, then the arena goes dark… then all you hear….


Carry on my wayward son, there'll be peace when you are done. Lay your weary head to rest, don't you cry no more.

I might change my picks after next dynamite as I'll get a good idea on how things will play out . For example whoever gets the better of the other one let's say OC gets the better of mox we know mkx is winning just as an example in what I'm saying.

Looking forward to dynamite tomorrow.

I think the OG AEW V THE HURT SYNDICATE at world's end sound be pretty damn cool.

Haha . I didn't realize you were just kidding blaze . It would be darn cool if it did happen haha. You've got a dry sense of humour like sky too, which is cool man. It's refreshing that some don't take themselves seriously ay .

In regards to a five on five match like we had when we had Mox Group v Jericho's JAS. If the Hurt Syndicate can get swerve to Join and someone else can't be Hobbs as he's a face which I'm looking forward too as he's always been a heel except his first match . What do u think like the OG AEW V HURT SYNDICATE or maybe DEATH RIDERS v OG AEW plus we could have marina and an OG AEW like Thunder Rosa ( who i think is great and bar ya girl Toni is the best woman wrestler in AEW.
