2024 Pro Wrestling Thread

I figured only one title change between Trick and Giulia. Makes sense to chase. I wonder if they’ll go for a tag program, Roxy and Cora vs the two new stars kinda like Balor and Itami way back when

 

Raw and Smackdown are no longer available on Hulu the day after airing unless you pay for the way-too-high-priced Hulu Live. This sucks. Like badly sucks. It was bad enough Raw was cut down to two hours already, and now I can't even keep up outside of YouTube videos.

And boom goes the dynamite: AEW announces its WBD deal at $150M per year. Dynamite and Collision staying put and will be streamed on Max in January. PPVs will eventually be on Max -- but still at some additional cost, as opposed to it being included for WWE/Peacock.

Nothing about a potential WWE Network-esque archive.

Rampage is done, but could be essentially replaced by Shockwave, a potential Fox show that Swerve may have accidentally spoiled.

 

Not the best follow-up for AEW amid their TV rights news today. Two wrestlers (including Sammy Guevara) had to be removed on stretchers during the ROH tapings.

 

AEW going up against NXT again for the 9:00 hour next week because of the MLB playoffs on TBS.

 

Typical AEW - injuries, injuries, injuries.

 

Well, that now makes two of the three possible members of Hurt Business on AEW TV.

 

How many times has Sammy been involved in a shoot injury? It seems like a lot.

also, the Moxley thing is just cringe. Enough with the wife beater look and weirdo american history X delivery.

 

That Rock is a good guy. Keeping his promise that he would be at the Apalachee High football team's first game back, about a month after the shooting that took four lives at the school.

Now, since he's already in the Atlanta area about 24 hours before a PLE takes place in the city ... hmmm.

 

Chelsea’s wearing a Hefty bag for her skirt. LOL.

We either need an appearance from Duke (The Dumpster) Droese, or someone has to take a ride in the dumpster off the stage.

 

“Finish the story, Chelsea!” … in a dumpster match.

 

That was very sports entertaining. Great job by Michin and Chelsea is in national treasure territory.
