Daniel Bryan getting hurt a few weeks after everyone FINALLY getting what they wanted at WM 30. Not only did it suck for DB and the fans, but WWE went into panic mode and rushed the Shield break up due to a need for a number 2 face behind Cena. Vince had been salivating at the thought of pushing his shiny new toy and couldn't wait to shove him down everyone's throats as their new jacked up, pretty boy hero. Problem was, people weren't ready to give up on DB just yet and certainly weren't ready to accept Replacement Cena. This started a creative tailspin for WWE that I still don't think they've recovered from. Although HHH does seem to finally be making strides to fix all of Vince's misfires since the DB injury / premature Roman babyface push. The one positive is that this board probably would have closed down after Summerslam if it was Bryan that Lesnar absolutely destroyed and not Cena.

Mandy made more in a month that what WWE would pay her in a year. She made more in a month than Drew McIntyre makes in a year. She made 20% of Roman’s yearly salary in a month.

That Charlotte/Becky vs Kabuki Warriors where Charlotte kept getting her spots in on the concussed Kairi Sane and Becky and Asuka were trying to figure out how to protect her.

Other than FTR Bald grumbling around, is there much calamity in the locker room these days? Around the time of the scrum, you had Punk, Rosa, Sammy, Andrade, seemingly half the locker room was at each other’s throat or wanting to leave. Right now, it just seems like FTR Bald being a grump and Miro wanting out.

She also has that donut business with Sonya as well. I forgot about that. She's doing pretty well for herself right now. She was also a successful fitness model before joining WWE. It’s a weird vibe from some posters that she’ll be out on the street once the publicity buzz wears off for her site.

It does seem like the overwhelming majority of box office is coming from international theaters. IIRC it was underperforming in the US its first weekend, but maybe it had staying power. And I think that's in spite of it not showing in Russia or China, which is impressive. Yeah, almost 75% of the box office is from international markets. It's not performing badly in the U.S., but it's already falling behind other big hitters from the last 12 months, and even the first movie. | Avatar: The Way of Water | Top Gun: Maverick | Black Panther: Wakanda Forever | Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness | Spider-Man: No Way Home | Avatar | Opening Weekend | $134,100,226 | $126,707,459 | $181,339,761 | $187,420,998 | $260,138,569 | $77,025,481 | 2nd Weekend | $63,338,220 | $90,037,011 | $66,482,266 | $61,755,804 | $84,548,505 | $75,617,133 |
It will still be one of the highest grossing movies of all time, but even this early on it's not looking like it's going to have anything close to the legs of the first movie. Avatar posted a 0% drop in its third weekend from its second, so those legs are holding up. It’s also outgrosssed both Black Panther & Doctor Strange domestically and internationally at this point, so that chart’s a bit misleading.

She should offer HBK and Albert a free month’s subscription, just to twist the knife.

It’s goofy as hell but I love the Taker/Yoko casket match from 1994.
There’s a real solid Hacksaw Duggan/Bossman hoss fight at the 1990 Rumble.

Late entry but Rampage pulling a really good rating with a DOUBLE J main event needs to be in the running.

You know how it seems like right at the end of the year, a couple famous people pass away, like Barbara Walters and the Retired Pope just passed?
It’s like Dax wanted to get in on the “Man, 2022 HUH?!?” wrestling insanity train right before the year ends and is just gonna drop these Bald Bombs right up until 11:59 tonight.

Watching ECW on Sportschannel Philadelphia every Tuesday at 6 is one of my absolute favorite times of my wrestling fandom…but I was in high school then and I’ll be 43 in a couple months.
Wrestling has needed to move past the mid/late 90s since 2001, so I’d say this would be a lousy idea.

Sting in AEW is probably up there with Terry Funk in ECW as the best example of a promotion booking a legend like a big deal but the legend caring enough about the promotion to not selfishly take advantage of that and actually shine up the young stars instead.
