Being a fan and being in charge can work. HHH is a perfect example of that. He's shown he's a wrestling fan and knows about wrestling outside of the WWE sphere. But he's also aware of what the mainstream American audience wants to see. So instead of forcing what he wants to see on them, unlike TK and later years Vince, he packages it for the WWE universe.

True but one thing that HHH has that TK and Vince didn't have was employment history as a Wrestler. The failing and success of being a wrestler is invaluable to booking and the business of wrestling. So yes you can be a fan, but there goes SO MUCH more than just having a love for it.

I may be a Carmelo truther but I think this kid is a star in the making..I thought he performed very well the first time he fought Cody Rhodes during his debut on smackdown. I don't think they know what to do with him right now. Like he needs an angle. For example, tonight after fatu pushed him down, why not come

Titles aren't real. I mean we all know that, the problem is that wrestlers weren't given the ability to try to succeed or even fail under Vince. Kevin Owens...hell all wrestlers have been running on all cylinders in WWE. That was the allure of AEW having the ability to "work" instead of sitting around in catering. And now the more structured wrestlers are finding that you lose TK's gaze after awhile and you become this rudderless ship.

Cody has that belt Summer Slam maybe Survivor Series but these filler matches have been VERY entertaining!

So here's the thing that I've been thinking with the recent merger. They can get "invasion" right this time. Take some of the misused talent from AEW and quite frankly WWE(carmelo) and start a "promotion". Similar to the invasion angle but make it its own. Like smackdown is seen as lesser right now but there is enough talent to make whole new promotion up under the WWE umbrella. Put it up against aew on Wednesday.

Kevin's eagle belt and the damn ula fala have meant more than either world title has in months.

And with them introducing so many new belts in the women's division, I've stop playing attention to who has what title. I much more focused on character building and stories.

This is great. I always thought WWE would end up with TNA's library in the end. This could be the first step.

I wish they could have had some crossover stuff going when TNA was on its A game. A Beer Money Inc vs APA match would have been the shit!

I don't like this collaboration with NXT. That company is treating TNA as a developmental league. TNA should be a peer to that company's main roster.

Lolz what does this even mean. All of their shows are TV. AEW doesn't do house shows.

I got an ok Simpson documentary commercial right after.

You're not slick Netflix. I see you.

It may not have been directly after but it was not too long after that. I will go back and check. i dont care what they say...Made in America is the best documentary on that topic. Everything else is second place.

Edit: It was after Chad Gable talked to Dominik about Lucha Libre secrets and then they showed the lyra valkyra promo and then it was Dr. King.

Thought this was a good raw. I really appreciate how we are getting PPV type matches on raw since it started on Netflix. Thought Seth and Drew were good and I liked the Penta Match. Nia Jax..i really want to like her, but she doesn't move in the ring very well and maybe its because she's wrestling smaller more agile women, but i'm hoping that she drops about 30 pounds (she dont have to be skinny) but just being able to move better in the ring. Saturday Night Main Event looks like it's going to be pretty good.

I dont have a big issue with the WWE product right now. I would like to see more star power on Smackdown so it doesn't seem like a "lesser" show.

I like Nia a little, but it's clear they don't know what to do with her. If you're going to treat her like some unstoppable force, you can't have her ambushing people backstage.

Also, shoutout to Bayley for mentioning the transfer to Raw and her entrance into the Royal Rumble in the same promo. It's like everything I hate all wrapped up in one.
