How bad was Seth Rollins’ promo last night? They were making fun of it on busted open radio today. Within 30 seconds the crowd was already chanting for Punk and in a couple more, they were chanting for Roman. Sounded terrible when they played it back.
Well it was Chicago so people chanting for Punk is the least surprising thing I'll ever read about any Chicago show, especially when said show is occurring with the worst kept secret out there that Punk was returning after being out for around 3 months.

They brought Iguana up a few times but he was never going to be a part of weekly content on the main roster. But the WWE audience knows his gimmick now which was likely the goal. If you're interested, check out AAA. If not, no huge deal.

AEW now offering 50% off tickets for All In. It's like every time they go to Wembley they do less and less people or something.

This is also what happens when wrestling isn't on fire across the board. Both companies are offering discounts more often now.

With venues as big as Wembley and what WWE runs, got to offer discounts when over 50% of people are saying they are having trouble affording gas and groceries.

As previously stated, entertainment is one of the first things people cut back on when struggling to make ends meet. Kind of hard to justify dropping triple to quadruple digits on wrestling tickets when you're having to resort to eating Dollar Tree ramen noodles for a meal.

Not to sidetrack but you still see Dunkin and Starbucks line wrapped around for 6 dollar lattes I get it’s not the same market but still

Check back in with me on this when you can go to a AEW/WWE tv taping for $6 with all expenses included. Shindies don’t even sell tickets that cheap.

So glad Jericho didn’t win tonight. The way that match was breaking down I just know it was LOLZJERICHO time. Ciampa has been great in this feud.

Takeshita and Fletcher should wrestle every week.

Sure but I don't remember being taken to an economics class when WWE was offering discounts lol. You wanted to dunk on WWE because less people were going to Mania (and Summerslam isn't looking great atm) but now that discounts are happening for Wembley, I'm seeing graphs about the economy. Didn't Meltzer say WWE fans are poor and AEW fans aren't and then you passed that valuable nugget of information here? I'm having fun with you on this but this is why you don't constantly dunk on something like ticket sales when you know All In is around the corner and less fans show up everytime AEW is at Wembley.

As I typed this Omega just became champion. TK better hope the UK really wanted Omega vs Ospreay instead of MJF vs Ospreay because taking MJF out of the main event of the biggest show of the year is a choice I guess.
