I like the suspense of not knowing who the 5th man will be.
Adding Bronson, and then the Bloodline coming out for his match vs Rollins, makes you think it will be Rollins. But then what he says makes you think not him. And the bloodline did not enter the match or ring during it.
And what was the point of that Wiseman call by Roman if was just going to make it Rollins? Maybe the Wiseman shows up last minute with the 5th man.
Stroman, he had a torn groin muscle, right? That doesn't sound like a fast recovery. So he may not be ready yet.
As for the women, we all assumed Rhea would be the 5th, right?

Not great -
The Rock’s new movie ‘RED ONE’ opened with $34.1M in its domestic box office debut.
The movie had a budget of $250M and roughly $100M in marketing costs.
I believe it’s time for The Rock to either ditch Hollywood, or focus on becoming a regular on WWE Monday Night RAW as the company moves to Netflix in January.

His last few movies haven't done that well, we may see him pop up more on WWE TV going forward.
Smackdown did it's lowest number in quite some time on Friday.
1,234,000 viewers and a .32 in the demo.
I'm sure it's because of the Tyson-Paul fight but still not great.
AEW announced a bunch of new dates for the end of 2024 and early 2025. Smartly they are running many smaller venues. That includes Broadbent Arena on January 16th for a Collision taping.

I didn't even know that it was still in operation. Might as well remodel the Louisville Gardens.
Louisville Gardens was my absolute favorite place to watch shows in the 1990's!
Saw a couple of In Your House PPV's at Louisville Gardens back in the mid to late 90's. It was a great place to see a show.
According to Wikipedia Broadbent seats 6,600, so maybe 4,000 for AEW.
Also from their press release the first show on Max will be January 1st.

So much magic watching uswa in Louisville gardens.
I once went to a wwf house show and they were taping so far ahead they had hbk doing matches with the ic belt at the house show a month before he beat British bulldog for the ic belt on snme.
It was very odd the announcer said “your new Ic champ Shawn Michaels ” I guess to cover their bases on the obscurity.
Box office has essentially been “not great” since Covid - only a few movies can make big bucks nowadays - makes you wonder why they spent so much $$$ to film it knowing it prob wouldn’t yield an ideal roi.
Went to Broadbent as a kid to watch hockey. It's primarily used for graduations, bed races the local media does a week or two before Derby, and monster truck rally type events now.
Impressive buildings don't matter when it's a small funeral inside. You can't have a situation like last week when it's so dreadful in an arena that fans would rather yell WWE references that the tv audience can hear. NXT embraces their small, passionate base and whether AEW fans want to admit it or not, AEW is closer to NXT than Raw or SD.
Moana 2 is coming out next week I think. I imagine it'll do well. Rock made the mistake of saying yes to everything and choosing to work with friends over taking good projects. No one wants to see him and Kevin Hart in a bunch of movies together and someone who looks like The Rock shouldn't be doing terrible movies for little kids. Arnold understood that which is why he did several classics for teens and young adults before jumping to Junior and Batman & Robin.

I live in Louisville and the only thing I've ever been to Broadbent for was my high school graduation.
Sure ok - I just wonder if 34 million was the expected opening weekend or if it didn’t meet opening projection weekends.
If you’re relying on Amazon prime video to net a profit than so be it.
Mcmemphis was the top 3 angle I’ve ever seen - if you watched wwf and uswa at the time the nuance between Vince/bret/tatanka/etc being faces in wwf then being heels in Memphis was wild.
I grew up watching the Memphis shows (Nashville tv station), and then WWF got big, and then WCW got big. I think I liked WCW the best. This was all in the 80's.
I didn't get to watch a lot of Memphis during that time, have tried to find as much as I can on youtube to check out.
I think there’s clips on YouTube that have the mcmemphis as a 20 part series but who knows if it’s still there. It basically was a trial run for what became the heel Vince that went against Austin in wwf.

Remember when all the AEW fans made fun of Vince for saying Adam Cole would be a manager on the main roster and now all the AEW fans think he sucks and his only good work was because MJF carried him?
Is that Bruce Pritchard dressed like Dutch Mantell doing his Dusty impression?
lol
Wow…
On the heels of Jake Paul defeating Mike Tyson in an eight-round boxing match last week, WWE is reportedly kicking the tires on the idea of Tyson and Paul's brother working together in the pro wrestling realm.
According to WrestleVotes (h/t Steve Carrier of Ringside News), a source confirmed there is "interest" on WWE's part to potentially make a match happen between Tyson and Logan Paul at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas this coming April.
After Jake Paul beat the 58-year-old Tyson by unanimous decision in a highly anticipated fight that streamed live on Netflix, Tyson was asked if he might step inside the ring again at some point.

"We have the best black wrestlers."
"We have the best women's division."
"Where the best wrestle."
They do this every few weeks. It's like the Louisville fanbase who believes they're playoff bound every year and will finally beat UK *this time*.
