I love when my women’s champion gets treated like an idiot with a Christmas gift on the head. I also love when she goes full idiot and acts like she can’t take it off.

Good stuff.

It's a bit of comedy on a taped show 3 days before Christmas. Not that big a deal.

Rhea does goofy shit too. Toni Storm's entire gimmick is being goofy.
Yeah, the Christmas show's have always had goofy stuff. That's when heels eat up pins and it won't matter at all in the big picture. Goofy wrestling 4 life.

Good for Vancouver to be rewarded with a decent card. Hopefully the large crowd is also a vocal and great crowd.

...they are the January 5th New Year's Revolution location

Ah yes, the Three Demandments

1. Prayers
2. Vitamins
3. Exercise

I had the Hulkamania Workout set, but I must have done something wrong, it didn't work for me, brother

Brother, your illness wont allow you the 24 inch pythons. But let me tell ya something brother, I'd be happy to fly you out to London to see me in the main event at Wembley before you pass little Hulkster.

Hell baby
CM Punk posting Larry opening gifts while Jericho was drunkenly ranting about NDA’s and employee handbooks at 4 AM on twitter Christmas Day really is a microcosm for where both companies are at in this moment.

The needle mover just broke every live show record for the WWE. Meanwhile AEW is having trouble selling out Daily’s Place now. Take another victory lap Bucks!

Wish I could’ve seen the Cody bull rope match, I know Dusty was looking down smiling.

I kinda roll my eyes every time they mention record money.

WWE's probably as hot as they've been in 15 years, but no shit you're doing record money. As long as you're selling out, inflation is doing the rest.

It’s not just money (though it’s a lot about that lol), it’s volume of tickets sold. This was the most they’ve sold at MSG in quite some time. Which given the cost of everything these days (including those tickets)- it’s pretty impressive

I’m just glad the perv is gone and the product isn’t the drizzling shits again

Nah they're doing great business for sure. I just roll my eyes about them talking about "Business is as good as it's ever been". (Moreso when they were citing record revenues 3-5 years ago to excuse their absolutely horrible product)

Like, yes, numbers are very good. But does anybody really believe the Attitude Era roster dropped into today's economy, Sweet Saudi Money, and TV/Streaming structure wouldn't be a bigger draw?

Have you tried to watch back some Attitude Era stuff recently? A huge portion of it is total shit. 90 percent of the roster couldn't work a match. The characters they had were really good, and the general cockiness of the broadcast was top notch. Every crowd was full and white hot too.

I think a lot of the attitude era talent dropped into today's environment would struggle to find long term success. The big names would still be the big names though.

On the contrary, I think you put some mid card guys in the attitude era and you could strike gold with it. Anybody willing to look remotely goofy would get over huge back then.

EDIT: Shit. I just re-read your post and I think I missed completely lol. If you're saying that as a whole that the business would have just as much, or more success if it had the benefits of today's entertainment industry...then hell yes I agree.
