That last tweet reminds me: when wrestlers like Woods who have secondary revenue streams creating babyface content turn heel, what happens to the content?

I think that's part of the reason UpUpDownDown was under Austin Creed? I don't recall but were New Day heel when he started the channel or at least in the early years?

What happens to Jordynne's secondary content?

This is better than DDP having Wish Nirvana as his entrance music.

you’d hope something on NBC would outdraw something on cable.

it says it was on ABC? I watched neither. I guess I assumed it would be on during prime time and it was live at 5. watched on Peacock instead of SNL as any old school SNME fan would.

I thought Jesse became invisible throughout the night until the main event when he did my favorite Jesse thing and started accusing Cody of being the villain. Although when you go back and watch WWF Hogan at his peak the dude really did wrestle like a heel full time despite being the biggest babyface ever. Probably emblematic of why society is so f'd up today. Good guy is a total POS - love it!

The Rockets/Thunder game was on ABC.

I cannot believe how much I love Karrion Kross now.

Statistically speaking, I guess somebody had to.

I feel like I’d take Eddie getting in Ava’s face more seriously if she weren’t like a full six inches taller than him and built like her dad. Also this is the second time this week that WWE has left the important story development for after the cameras stop rolling

I just want to know why she keeps letting Nathan Frazer and Axiom pull double duty, but wouldn't let Jaida Parker do it?

Also, now that I think about it, that's how you know that Ava must can't wrestle worth a damn. With a look like that, Triple H would have already put a belt on her by now.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Potentially hot take: the Darby/Ospreay match from Dynamite last night was... good? I went into watching it having heard the highest of praises, MOTYC, best match in the history of AEW, etc. And I thought it was... good. Like it was overpromised and underdelivered.

who’d have thought of all the moves HHH has made in charge, one of the ones I’d like the most was him bringing Bronson Reed back and turning him into a main eventer?

TK refusing to use Danhausen for an entire year despite him being this over because he’s kinda friends with CM Punk another All Elite move

So, I guess Billie Starkz doesn't get to Finish the Story™.

If we’re being honest, her finishing the story would be her taking a belt off of Bayley at a Wrestlemania

Some of these are wild.

So the guy in question absolutely has to have been Adolph Ziggler, right?

If they put the title on Lyra instead of Dakota, I take back every good thing I’ve ever said about the HHH era.

NOAH has had Omos for like a week, busted out the Andre the Giant “Look how big this dude is!” Gimmick Face Playbook from the old days and immediately put a title on him and it’s honestly the first time I’ve actually like him in anything.

(Shinsuke’s match however was not good. Dude might unfortunately be washed)

Which would be a shame, since he's doing some of his best character work of his entire American run.

Watching last night's episode of NXT makes me retroactively mad with the way they've been booking the KCs on the main roster. I'm not even mad that they lost last night, I just want Triple H to take the handcuffs back off these girls.
