    Man these tapings are so much better now lol. You can tell the roster has a lot more energy

    Of course, the crowd would fall asleep during these long ass tapings. I’m sure they’ll move to one a week or possibly live if they can.

    Conrad said a friend of his looked into the price and was interested in possibly purchasing it (likely Jarrett as you said)...I doubt Conrad wanted to have ownership over it himself but was likely a potential investor like he (probably) did when AEW started...no other reason they'd have him speaking at the first press briefing and on the first DON show being interviewed if he hadn't thrown some money in

    Makes me wonder since he bought the JCP trademark if anything comes from it.

    I believe he addressed that on his podcast recently...he may do other events like the Flair Last Match thing but sounds like he has no intention of starting up a company of his own and thinks it'd be way too stressful plus he's busy enough as it is with his podcasts, mortgage stuff, and other ventures to commit to something like that

    Personally, if The Elite go (that's even including Kenny at this point), and Punk/FTR comes back, and start featuring Hobbs, Cole, Hangman and others more, I wouldn't not be mad. and honestly their ratings won't take as much of a dip as many think it would. The Elite already aren't financial draws tbh.

    Yea you'll have a decrease in dedicated Elite marks, but you'll also gain some supporters as well. In a perfect world both should be able to coexist, but if one group was to walk, I'm content if it's The Elite, they only got a few years in them left anyway, and it wouldn't surprise me if Omega retires soon. The only fear is if they go to WWE, which is now a possibility.

    I mean how many years does Phil have in him if the Bucks and Kenny have a few years left in them lol

    Who would've been better that has TK/WWE type money? Jarrett would've been a disaster and would create TNA 2.0 when he took over, and Dana White would've been awful as well.

    It sold for pennies. Someone else would have stepped in

    TK/Khan pennies or anyone that can buy pennies? There is a difference. I don't think Impact was trying to put out that type of money even if they did have it.

    Didn’t spike buy Bellator?

    Bischoff said it would have been good because they would have always had a network and spike wanted to invest in the presentation

    You also gotta remember how Viacom had Wrestling Society X and that died not in two months in on MTV.

    Ivelisse was still problematic prior to Rosa, especially to her coaches, and Britt has done her fair share of s*** like burying her opponents and sandbagging herself when she was facing Shida. Part of the reason why she was unhappy in AEW for a good portion.

    They don't get a pass either, even if Rosa did sandbag which I believe she did. Both of them think that they're a bigger deal than what they really are, and I'm glad that TK put the rocket on Hayter, Jade and others because seeing Rosa fumble all over the place and Britt move like she's in quicksand was insufferable.
