The Wrestling Thread has much larger nipples

Here's the thing: I don't want Charlotte winning the title any time soon. Keep her in the "tag title division" and let someone else get a chance. Also, I'd like Sasha to get a nice run on the title and a nice WM moment...but I also want Bianca Belair to win the rumble and the title BUT I don't want her off Smackdown and forcing me to watch RAW.

I'm conflicted, y'see. lol

Fair.

Honestly, I don't know how we avoid Charlotte as champ soon. The obvious heel turn is coming and Asuka has had the title for a long time. It would be awesome if someone like Shayna was about to win it, but it's just... I just think Charlotte will be champ soon. My hope is simply that it leads to Rhea's call up being awesome.

I think with what's going on right now, I don't think AEW and NXT should have shows tonight.

I disagree. Especially when they did not shutdown over the summer, as people were being beaten in the streets by the police.

I get it. It's a distraction,

Less that and more that I don't think why this is happening deserves attention.

Vince really should kick Trump out of the WWE HoF.

But we know why he won't...

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Looks like without Monday Night Football, RAW's ratings were up big. Vince will take the wrong message from this.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Just when I forget that Chris Jericho is legitimately awful, he reminds me:

They will be going up against the National Championship game next week, if it happens.

I think we're beyond Hall of Fame at this point, the actual White House.

I hope current events don't tank the ratings for the shows tonight. Seems Dynamite and NXT both had good shows.

It was hard to focus on Dynamite as I was watching the Senate reconvene on MSNBC. But when I did see Dynamite it was really good. The only NXT match I saw was Raquel Gonzalez vs. Rhea Ripley. I am watching the rest of the show right now.

 

[TheVileOne]

Fenix vs. Omega was outstanding at least. great TV match.

 

[Calvin Ellis]

AEW is doing great I just see it slowly morphing into WCW though with them bringing in all the old WCW people. I just hope that I am wrong though.

I mean other than Sting, Arn Anderson, and Schiavone, who else?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Balor/Kyle and Rhea/Gonzalez... if not for the Dome, these two would be leading the early "MotY" talk for me.

 

[Calvin Ellis]

Let me rephrase how they rely on them is worrying me more even with Jericho (who I love but is out of shape) should really start to take a backseat. Also the ting with Snoop didn't help buy just gave me more flashbacks.

 

[TheVileOne]

I mean Jericho is 50 years old and has clearly slowed down, but he's clearly not stealing the spotlight like Hulk Hogan would and he's putting younger guys over.

Yeah, like QAnon dudes on his podcast.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Per PW Torch, Dynamite netted 662,000 viewers for a .25 rating point in the 18-49 demographic. NXT checked in with 641,000 viewers for a .16 rating point in the same 18-49 demo.

That's not surprising.

I blame the internet and social media for furthering conspiracy theory trash and giving it a platform and voice. I'm not going to defend Jericho's views and opinions. Same with Ultimate Warrior. Ultimate Warrior has done and said a lot of things I simply can't defend. I'm still a fan of Ultimate Warrior and love what he did in the 1980s and 1990s, but I also can't deny he acted like an absolute lunatic and said a lot of hateful garbage.

I'm not going to join a cancel Jericho train over this. But if other fans want to stop being fans of Jerich over his podcasts or comments on BLM or what have you, that's your call. Not going to stop you.

 

[TheVileOne]

That's not surprising.

It was bound to happen with the siege on the capitol building yesterday. Sucks, but it is what it is.

At least Omega vs. Rey Fenix was an outstanding match.

 

[chamber-music]

Fenix vs. Omega was really good. Bullet Club reunion was cool.

I thought SCU/Bucks vs Acclaimed/Hybrid 2 was entertaining also.

I'm pretty sure Sting is just appearing for name recognition. Hopefully they don't put the strap on him like the Goldberg/Fiend situation.

I feel like you are failing as a company if you need to bring in guys for your main event that were popular 20 or 30 years ago to draw an audience.

If you have actual main event talent that isn't drawing then you probably aren't highlighting or using them to their potential.

Gargano and co have made the whole 'way family' gimmick far more enjoyable than it had any right to be.
