Tonight, AEW showed clips of NJPW, promoted Friday night's Arena Mexico show & name-dropped a promotion in Denmark. I feel like we sometimes take the "forbidden door" stuff for granted.

Dave Meltzer reporting Triple H has lost the WWE locker room (re Seth Rollins' injury) should be a much, much bigger story: "But after being told his other injury was legit, many are not fully believing anything... the lack of trust right now is pretty high."

Theyre just giving them away. My uncle runs a business on Long Island and his office got 10 (or up to 10) for Slammiversary because they get Islanders tickets. He called me because he knew I liked wrestling but lol not that show.

It doesn't feel like organic interest at all, even siphoned off of NXT, but we also haven't heard anything about mass ticket giveaways or mass extreme discounted tickets. So we're left with a situation that defies all logic and historical precedent with no explanation of how it could be happening.

I still don't understand how anyone is supposed to believe that major TNA shows are massively outdrawing major NXT allows in a way that's completely organic.

We haven't gotten Impact ratings in a year and they're clearly positioned as secondary to NXT, but somehow greatly outdraw NXT? Come on now.

Two thoughts about the Mistico interview. One if he is openly talking about dual contracts I imagine discussions have either already started or even he is signed and they are waiting to announce it. Two he mentions that "Like other teammates who have a wonderful double contract." Sounds like more

Let me put it this way. Whenever CMLL needs to guarantee a show sells well against another wrestling show running in the same city they book Mortos and Bandido

Dynamite pulled off 2 1/2 hours and it was still quality and didn’t feel long at all.

Les @highflylo.bsky.social · 28d

AEW could def pull off 3 hours weekly. Fans just have PTSD from all the bad RAW’s

For the Triller TV audience internationally, you can watch this Saturday's Tailgate Brawl. Which technically counts as a second hour of #AEWCollision

For US Markets you can watch it on TNT & HBO Max.

I don't know why these companies still cave to a toothless animal. Target had to learn the hard way that conservative dollars are too low to pay the bills & now Disney+ is already hitting the panic button.

Which they wouldn't have to if companies would just stop bending the knee to a weak old man.

River_Tam @rivertam.bsky.social · 27d

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.
