TNA apparently has plans to introduce a women's midcard singles title to go with their world and tag titles. According to Wikipedia, they only have 18 women under contract.

Nothing wrong with what Triple H says here. Full quote has him saying it's fun to see the show live and it's entertainment so don't take it so seriously. He's saying this as fans continue to be really creepy towards wrestlers and YouTubers spend their evenings trying to make money by literally screaming and cussing about wrestling into a microphone in their apartments. WWE is just trying to put on shows.
Back in the old territory days, that would get your @$$ fired for losing a fight in a bar.
There were some legit bad @$$e$ back then and those guys you didn't mess with. If you did, you only did it once.
AEW PPV week and the best controversy the wrestling media can create is Moxley isn’t tough enough? That’s a win for AEW.
Wait, Triple H talks up the company he works for, Meltzer tries to scold him on the internet for doing so and calls it desperate, and Meltzer is the one right here? Huh? I wouldn't even try that spin with Tony Khan lol.
I don't think most fans would care about the tape library. Not saying TNA didn't have some good mixed in with a lot of bad but it's been seen as such a joke for so long, who is pining to watch that coveted TNA library? You've probably got way more people listening to Cornette recently go through his TNA reviews and discussing his time there than who'd be sitting aside hours and hours to watch that "classic" TNA wrestling.
Tape libraries have nearly as little replay value as a live sporting event. They are worth so much more than someone will ever be able to monetize it for.
But if WWE couldn’t even get anyone to pay them for their library with the Peacock deal expiring, then TNA’s library isn’t going to hold much value.
Sure you can point to AEW getting their library on HBO Max, but AEW has always aired on WB/WBD networks and continues to air on there. It made perfect sense for them to add that content, especially since the shows and PPVs now air live on HBO Max. It’s just standard procedure these days for a steamer to add the original content that they broadcast on their own terrestrial tv networks. The fact that it never was until last year was much more the exception than the norm.
No. It’s because TKO is bilking the fans for all they can money wise while giving them a predictable, boring lackluster product in return.
Their product is bad at present and long time fans have either tuned out (me) or gotten vocal and critical online.
So I am going to scoff at a company response of “aww geez guys. This is supposed to be fun. Don’t take that TV taping you spent $500 for 2 people to attend so seriously. It’s silly and fun!! We’re just having a good time out here. See you in Saudi Arabia for our next 3 match + 2 on free TV PLE!!”
If you're going to charge outlandish prices, expect to be held to a high standard. It sounds like Triple H going "stop being mean guys, this is supposed to be fun!" because his fragile ego can't handle criticism.
Gotcha. It's bad to sell the product in interviews now. It's bad to say wrestling is an escape and to have fun with it. I'll need to remember that when Tony Khan does the same and says everything is great dozens of times lol.
You took an innocent quote and twisted it into a rant even though you've said numerous times you've stopped watching. That quote shouldn't upset anyone but since it did, it sorta proves him correct. Guy gets hammered by the "IWC" just for saying "Come to a show. Have fun with us." I mean...
He’s going to get a Stone Cold pop when he walks out at MSG. Isn’t Brunson a WWE fan? Put him with Danhausen and the crowd will burn that place to the ground.
Ya I think he did an angle a couple years ago with Haliburton of the pacers.
It's going to be funny when Zilla Fatu goes direct to the main roster to be involved in the biggest program in the company purely because of nepotism when that guy 100% needs to start in NXT.
Wait, was "everyone" mad about it? I have my doubts as I don't recall the wrestling world in a tizzy over what Willy said. Ospreay and MJF have a history of trying too hard. It's okay. Happened all the time during the Attitude Era and beyond. Those later DX years were embarrassing but what Ospreay said wasn't a blip on the radar. It's like he created his own controversy and very few cared.
Glenn coming in hot with the reverse jinx.
I love the result for multiple reasons but for the Bloodline story, Fatu will continue to impress Reigns and the Usos may continue coming up short.

There's your unexpected creative.
The new number one contender is 28 and they take the title off Cody five weeks before Summerslam and give Sami his moment.
They can still mess it up though by having Brock screw Oba in the title match and/or have Cody beat Sami next month but today was a big step in the right direction.

The feminists were quite mad. IT was virtually impossible to go on wrestling social media and not see it.
I completely forgot NoC was an afternoon show and just now seeing the results. Thank God they made the right decisions with the QOTR, KOTR, and the Undisputed title. A couple years late on Sami but better late than never. He'll be killed by Oba at Summerslam now.
If they would have had Jey win it would have been otherworldly stupid.
