ESPN was not happy to hear about WWE Network going to Peacock... so much so that ESPN has immediately dropped all coverage of WWE events. However... ESPN isn't giving up on the wrestling business as a whole... so we'll see if it'll try to push AEW if ESPN feels spurned by WWE.

Nia Jax only laughs at you interweb peons who are concerned about the health of the wrestlers that she almost kills on a seemingly weekly basis... this week it's Dana Brooke

Vince McMahon missed Raw on Monday... reportedly to tend to family matters following the death of his brother Rod last week. Shockingly... Vince's mom is still alive at the spry youthful age of 100 years young

There's reportedly a "very scary" Rumble finish getting serious consideration of actually making TV... "scary" here meaning an old part-timer winning the Rumble instead of pushing an up & coming full timer

Rich Swann was very nice on last night's IMPACT... giving an IMPACT World Championship match to ECW's "Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer at the next IMPACT PPV... which just so happens to fall on Dreamer's 50th birthday

Tonight's AEW Dynamite comes from Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Fla.

Coming off the heartbreak of losing the services of "Hangman" Adam Page last week... Evil Uno, Stu Grayson, Jon Silver, & Alex Reynolds of the Dark Order come together to fight the team of tag champs... AEW Tag Team Champions Young Bucks & IMPACT Tag Team Champions The Good Brothers

Sting & Darby Allin discuss their upcoming street fight against Team Taz

Cody's main event segment tonight will be a response to Shaquille O'Neal about... something

Lance Archer & Eddie Kingston will have a fight that may or may not end in a hate crime

Tag team specialists battle in singles action as Jungle Boy of Jurassic Express tries to show he belongs against FTR's Dax Harwood... with both Tully Blanchard & Cash Wheeler handcuffed to Luchasaurus

Jon Moxley gets to give another impassioned promo about... something

The official tag team of the Inner Circle... MJF & Chris Jericho... face off with the Hollywood Blonds

"Hangman" Adam Page... not of the Dark Order... faces some guy named "The Hunk" Ryan Nemeth

Dr. Britt Baker faces Shanna... and in no way will Thunder Rosa get involved... like no chance in hell

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NXT on USA comes from the Capitol Wrestling Center inside the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Fla.

Finn Balor & Kyle O'Reilly stop trying to kill each other to team up against the NXT Tag Champions Danny Burch & Oney Lorcan of The Brand

In the 2nd round of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic... male version... KUSHIDA & Leon Ruff face the Grizzled Young Veterans

Raquel Gonzalez & Dakota Kai face Aliyah & Jessi Kamea in the lady version of the Dusty Tag Team Classic

MSK (formerly The Rascalz in IMPACT... sans Trey Miquel who stayed with IMPACT) look to advance further in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic against Killian Dain & Drake Maverick

Maybe we need to see more of Shanna in AEW

The Revolution ppv is officially moving to March 7. AEW doesn't want to compete with the Jake Paul fight on ppv that night.

Sounds like its basically 100% confirmed John Cena will have a match at Wrestlemania but no word on the opponent.

As posted on the MNW thread...

I'll probably forget by the time rt starts the WNWT so I'll post this here as the followup to other Rumble speculation.
quote:

Sorry for the lack of details here but still noteworthy IMO; had a brief conversation earlier with a source regarding the Men’s Royal Rumble match. They said quote: “There’s a finish that scares the death out of me. And it’s legitimately getting heavy consideration” yikes.
The betting odds are favoring Goatboy and the EST. I can't even think of something that screams "terrifying" unless you're talking about either the return to a full catering room around Haystacks or her winning the men's Rumble.

I guess an Edge Rumble win coupled with a gOldberg title win to headline Mania could fall under there considering how Ol' Bill almost freaking killed Taker at one of those Saudi shows. Would setting up Brock v Bill be considered terrifying? I don't think a Miz cash-in & Goatboy Rumble win is "terrifying". (Hell with geriatric Vince I wouldn't be surprised if he changed his mind about the winner a few times during the Rumble.)

I don't get the EST win unless they do some kind of Simultaneous Elimination with her and Bayley setting up another women's Mania triple threat with Sasha. Perhaps that match would be considered a "terrifying" plan if it is slotted as Saturday's main event for night 1.

Aside from Becky, do they bring Ronda back for the Rumble or as a surprise at WM? Hopefully I haven't screwed my Championship hopes by giving you baws a few ideas. Oh and TRC... PLEASE POST THE DANG FWL STANDINGS! I don't think we've seen them in months and we know you are probably colluding with rt to screw G.

ETA: Haven't talked to my guy about WWE rumblings since we got put back on lockdown a few months back. I am going into this with ZERO knowledge of backstage doings.

RETA: If the move to Peacock is going to make these PPVs unavailable to TRC, I can help fill whatever void it creates.

I think the terrifying thing is either the Fiend winning by some sort of magic or something stupid, Goldberg winning possibly after losing to Drew, or a woman, probably Charlotte, winning the men's rumble.

so... to recap...

in wrestling we're told these people are the "good guys"

in WWE... a serial killer clown

in AEW... a guy who's entrance theme is dominated by the words "Everybody dies" and throws stagehands through ceilings

What was the damage? That not-puny human looked to have harmed that actual puny human in that match.



I could get behind seeing more of that Shanna lady.
