    • According to Fightful, one of the ideas that NBC pitched to WWE for a gimmick theme show was “NFL Night,” which would include football-related matches and angles. The idea of a “Points Month” was also introduced, with wrestlers accumulating points for certain achievements and moves.
    If NBC or Fox or whomever ever buys WWE away from Vince this is the kind of shit you can look forward to. That's not to say Vince is holding back the tide of bad ideas, but still.

    While I get it's probably due to logistical reasons, I'm surprised that WWE is still in the Thunderdome and not back in front of live crowds.

    Couple more weeks and they go back to crowds. I think the Smackdown before MITB will be the first live crowd. After that the thunderdome is gone forever hopefully.

    NXT so badly needs to be in front of a crowd. The 300 people in the PC is just not cutting it. I think the next Take Over will be on the road so that's great. Great American Bash looks to be in the PC prior to the Summer Slam TakeOver so that sucks a bit.

    Breeze is devastating for UUDD....wonder if he pulls a Jessamyn Duke and gets a new contract as a content creator or if he tries to keep wrestling elsewhere

    Watching UUDD and more specifically watching Battle of the Brands with Creed and Breeze was the only WWE related content I still regularly consumed. What a fucking bummer.

    Breeze is still on Uno today. Wonder if he got a Jessamyn Duke type agreement that allows him to stay on that platform. Or they just don't give a fuck, because Creed showed up on a YouTube video on Breezes new account

    Swerve winning the NA title was cool. Hit Row is just great. Glad to see him really being pushed.

    NXT has been fire the last 6-8 weeks since the switch. Hope you guys try to check them out. Great American Bash is next week. Should be an excellent TV special.

    Breeze announced on Twitter as part of his twitch channel he will have weekly live streams with Adam Cole on Thursdays. As I mentioned before Creed has already been on a video with him on his new channel.. I wonder if wwe has lightened the restrictions a little bit

    Yikes. He's already acknowledged it on Twitter. Tough when you've plugged the same company for almost 25 years.

    Breeze released a pretty heavy stream schedule and has a training gym. I wouldn't be surprised if he got a Jessamyn Duke deal where he can stay on their youtube shows and probably get paid for that and is now allowed to do all his own independent streaming stuff and just won't wrestle anywhere else

    I mean that's not a bad deal for him and he can always change his mind and go wrestler elsewhere down the line it he wanted to. He's no spring chicken but he definitely doesn't have the milage on his body as some other guys

    I think it probably happens at the PPV, but I feel like AEW will do its biggest match possible to fill Arthur Ash stadium.

    One thing I’ve considered is the possibility that right before AEW announces tickets for the show are on sale, that they announce the signing of someone like Bryan and say he will face the champion at that show.

    Shame, he's in one of the best storylines going on in wrestling and a main focus of it. But the demons he can't escape.

    You would think at this point he would have a full time DD or Uber on standby the moment he hits the bars
