I can't believe that after tonight either AEW or WWE will be out of business. This is nuts.

I don't actually believe this is likely to happen, but given that it's the most buzzworthy thing that WWE could possibly do, and for the sake of discussion...
Punk got fired for cause and, therefore, doesn't have a non-compete period at all, right? Like, he could show up to open NXT tonight?

So, letâs look at what WWE are advertising, since Iâve seen it called âLegends Nightâ level of bookings here⊠Asukaâs the only one who I couldâve seen booked any time in the last few months or any time in the next few months as part of this arrangement that has seen Lynch and Dominik on there all the time lately. Long history with the brand, beloved in the fanbase, whatâs not to like? See also the Brawling Brutes in this category too, since theyâre booked. Cena and Heyman? Stunt booking for sure, but nominally itâs in service of putting over two guys that are explicitly on that NXT roster in Hayes and Breakker. Rhodes? Probably too big of a star to be there outside of the stunt factor, and I donât think the irony of him being Mr. Announcement going head to head with his old fed is lost on anyone⊠but if he IS simply announcing the next Dusty Tag Classic⊠Heâs the manâs son, itâs OK. Undertakerâs the biggest outlier, because thereâs nobody on that roster that it wouldnât look just a bit odd that heâd be putting over. Big Texas redneck motherf***er all like âBoy, that Ilja DragunovâŠâ . Two big legends (one of whom is doing an actual run right now, doing most of the TVs), four full-time talents and a manager. That somehow equates to a âLegends Nightâ number of outside bookings. They bring like 20-30 people to those stupid things and they all either end up playing cards with the APA or standing and waving on the ramp. At least most of this stuff will go along better with the show.

Those source leaks are so funny because itâs so obviously bait.
âA source in WWE says Triple H will be air-dropping a Dave Matthew Band tour bus level of shit directly onto the Jacksonville Jaguars home field to send a message.â

I think you could come up with a conceivable segment involving Gacy and Taker...Doesn't have to be a passing of the torch but I think it's do-able. As a fan I am really hoping Gacy is able to show his range going forward so yeah all hail the Crimson King.

They bring like 20-30 people to those stupid things and they all either end up playing cards with the APA or standing and waving on the ramp. At least most of this stuff will go along better with the show. They've managed to boost this show without wasting/giving away anything that would be a huge boost for a PPV or something. Cody likely announcing the Dusty. Cena and Heyman standing in the corner. Undertaker won't be wrestling either. Nothing here is Wrestlemania/Summerslam level. Dynamite on the other hand has stacked with 3 or 4 matches that could realistically be saved for an All In or All Out level PPV. NXT on a regular week with just NXT names draws around 600-650k viewers. On a week with a whole other wrestling show moving to their timeslot and with sporting events too they would probably get around 500-550k. Unless they're going to just roll over and accept that they have to load up with a bigger than normal show. If John Cena is free and a short drive away in Tampa why wouldn't you call him up and let him give the show a boost against the competition? I thought it was jokes at first but as it gets closer there seems to be some people legit in their feelings over this which I just don't get. They could resurrect Andre the Giant and have Von Wagner slam him. Watch it. Don't watch it. It's not that serious.

I don't care about the ratings discourse at all........except for the Gallus match. I need it to tank viewership like a Timothy Thatcher segment.
