Did you watch the American gladiators doc I think it was an espn program.
I watched a documentary of some sort. Either espn or Netflix. I don’t remember much about it
I think one of them focused more on the guy behind the show and the other was more show oriented, IIRC
Ya the one I saw was about the guy running it and schemed everyone out of money in the end - I think it was the espn one.
Was the Netflix one better?

Dynamite 600k
Collision 400k
Not sure if that’s a typical number for collision but a 4 hour show on a Wednesday is a tough watch!

It was up against the Finals.
I haven’t finished my 4 hours of AEW at once this week, but if last week is an indicator, the Collision part, especially the last hour, was pretty meh, likely because they knew very few people will still be watching at midnight.

Very true. Heck, I still haven’t gotten through the main event yet and it is two days later.
Last I saw Smackdown has now moved over 11,000 tickets for tonight.
Also, if you are going tonight you can get a special John Cena shirt, or you can get it online.

Checkerboard.
This is the moment Cena truly turned heel.

Triple H reportedly made the call to have Jey Uso lose the World Heavyweight Championship as he wanted Gunther vs Goldberg to be for the title.
The match is set to take place at Saturday Night's Main Event and will go head to head with AEW All In.

So Kurt Angle jobs to Baron Corbin in his retirement match and Goldberg goes out with a title match. Would kind of be cool if he won on his way out and retired with the belt. They could do a tournament for a new champion. They haven't done that for 3 or 4 years.
I think hhh would have handled angle’s retirement different that or they hadn’t given up on baron Corbin yet at that time.
Vince also had theory win mitb and beat cena.
Speaking of cena that was a long opening segment but at least we got more r truth!
- Thought that was a good SD the other night. I occasionally follow a reddit show thread and they loved Cena's blue and white gear and a lot of people were like, "damn, Lexington is getting all the stars tonight." One of my friends and her friend ordered the Lex shirt during the show.
- Private Party doesn't do much for me but NXT needs the talent. The Hurt Business in AEW is an overall positive but one thing Cornette always said was wait until someone like a Lashley gets to AEW and see how he looks next to their roster. They crushed the tag division in no time and there's very few there who can realistically beat them.
- All In crossed the 20,000 ticket mark. My og prediction was 24,000. TK might give tickets away towards the end to get 25K if they're close. That's nowhere near past All In's but still a solid number.

One of my co-workers went to Smackdown so I had him get me a Cena shirt.
From the reports I saw Dominion wasn't a very good show.
Also saw Vikingo did win the AAA title but got booed while Alberto Del Rio was cheered.
AEW is coming back to Cincinnati in August doing back to back shows at the music center again.
It's not a PPV but AEW does have a big show in Mexico this week so it's time for a lawsuit or something.
Moxley being sued

Hot take, all of 2023 AEW was lawsuit worthy. I’d like my time back for a lot of that year. Lol.
I bet the Fed and AAA got this guy to injure himself then sue Moxley and AEW. All bets are off now that WWE and Mexico are in cahoots.
Ricochet posted on x about the lawsuit “the world is full of —-“ then deleted it.
Ricochet has little brother/Napoleonic complex like no one I’ve ever seen.
Also, he was in WWE in 2023, how TF would he know about that lawsuit?
I think the wrestling tribes might be worse than the political tribes.
Saw an ad where you get three months of Peacock for free.

They could have numerous possibilities for that wild card participant and of course they chose Jey USO
SNME will likely do big numbers. Goldberg will always be crazy over, I don't care how much the internet hates him. It's one of those things where if you're online, you'll join in the hate because of the whole Bret thing but if you're there and he shows up, you're the first one on your feet chanting GOLDBERG.
