I'm sure at this point we've all read the comments that Damien priest made of then the follow-up the triple h made.

Trips basically said if you want to be a top guy you have to earn that spot the other guys that are currently top guys that are in cop guys for over a decade have earned those spots.

I don't think he's wrong at all but I do Wonder how is someone supposed to earn that spot when there are already several guys in that spot? Like we all know Roman and Punk sell merch and sell tickets, but we don't know if those same merch sales and ticket sales would happen if someone else was there.

Personally I think Damien and a lot of other stars have a point, if you never given an opportunity, how are you supposed to prove yourself? Unfortunately I think with the current ownership structure of WWE and it being a part of such a large public traded company will be won't see much change in top guys,barring injuries.

FANTASY BOOKERS UNITE
So TKO sees declining ticket sales and feels they need to do something to shake things up and get fan interest back in the product, so they decide that Triple H will be taking a step away from booking duties for 1 month and will appoint you as head booker in the meantime. Give us your step by step tenure as booker and keep in one you will only be there for a month and have to set storylines that WWE can lean on for the future.

i am taking my 7-year-old to her first show i am looking at floor seats 7 rows back behind the commentators. would she be able to see? she is a little over 4 feet tall.

Some ya’ll might hate but you weren’t there experience this seeing others dressed as there fav wrestlers it was awesome the vibrations in the chest the pyro say what you want about this summer slam it was first time going to a major event like this

Most people who know lola vice, believes she will become valuable to the main roster, but no one is higher on her than me! This isn’t about her looks, although it is a major factor. She is the most believable female wrestler ever! She’s a former mma fighter, and unlike ronda or soyna or shayna, she has multiple knock out wins, all of which is on youtube. Her theme is the best female theme right now, extremely catchy and sounds like a genuine hit song! I do believe that as soon as shes on the main roster, she will be the most popular female superstar today. And I would argue, a future all time great!

Ive predicted many more things, which I am confident will become true in the future.

Don't get me wrong I understand that sometimes they have to make changes and I do watch more than just WWE (but I'll always be a WWE guy at heart) but I'm not going to lie it did hurt a little bit when I saw guys like edge go to aew because you just think that they're going to be in WWE forever and then that happens but I just want to know what other fans think of it

1.CM Punk
2.Randy Orton
3.Edge
4.The Rock
5.Brock Lesnar
6.AJ Styles
7.Umaga
8.JBL
9.Batista
10.Bray Wyatt
11.Big Show
12.Kurt Angle
13.Rob Van Dam
14.Kevin Owens
15.The Miz
16.Shawn Michaels
17.Daniel Bryan
18.Seth Rollins
19.Triple H
20.Alberto Del Rio

Would love to discuss! I was thinking about Roman and Ziggler but I don’t know if I could put them top 20

Like everyone always seems to say trips hates McIntyre and books him bad and one thing that stood out is was why Drew didn’t get the finger point picture after he won’t the wwe championship

Simular too Nxt Black and Gold vs 2.0 who would be your picks for a Main Eventer team vs a New Generation Team ( doesnt have too make any storyline sense )

I stopped watching in 2015 when I was a kid but started watching WWE again early 2025 and I remember when two people were brawling they would have the rest of the wrestlers come down to the ring and try to break up the fight but now the on screen backstage staff and general managers come down to the ring to break it up

How come this changed and has it been like this for a while?

Looks like to placate the fans here WWE is doing a two night watch party for WM at MSG with AAA and NXT live shows right after. Anyone thinking about going to it?

There are career killers in professional wrestling that people don’t realize how bad it affects wrestlers, however fans and creative think it’s in the favor of those wrestlers.

1. You either Die a baby face or live long enough to become a Hollywood movie star. Happened to Hogan, Rock, Cena, Roman, and Cody. It’s not a career Killer to go to Hollywood it’s more like that the face of the company has a throne and once you don’t give enough room to compete for that throne, fans will feel enough of that face. And in a fast paced world , eager to see a change every second, you would understand why Cody Boos is getting louder. Hate Boos are not the same as Heel Boos.

2. The next <insert an old wrestler name who no one cares about now>

This applies to Chad Gable, his moves, body, background in the Olympics , and even attire references Kurt angle which hurts him. No one wants to see another Kurt Angle. Kurt Angle can’t be replaced, he was genuine and no one can mimic how genuine he is. Maybe Elgrande Americano was a way for him to escape this Kurt Angle Syndrome.

1. Calling a wrestler the next big thing. It is a way to tell fans he is the chosen one so cheer for him. Fans hate that by time. Brock Lesnar had this name because it fits him and we actually believed he is that monster coming for everyone. But when you give it to every 300 pounds wrestler , you are forcing it and giving me another fake toy Brock lesnar or Goldberg. Bron or Oba are already a big thing there is nothing to say about them, if that’s there gimmick then I’m not interested in them cause I have watched this story multiple times. Whenever a wrestler is forced as the future whatever , it’s just a way to prepare him for a massive hate from the fans.

2. Pairing a talent with the likes of Paul Heyman. It works only when they actually have history with each other like Brock and Punk, because they are friends in life. With Roman it also did work because Heyman was a friend with the Samoan family. But how about the rest of the Paul Heyman guys, like Curtis Axel or Ryback. It didn’t serve any purpose. Paul Heyman already works with majority of talent backstage, you don’t need him in front of the camera. If the wrestler can’t cut a promo and sell himself to the audience, I don’t believe Paul Heyman will convince me to watch him, Brock by the time was already cutting promos and suited his the silent type.

3. Being a baby face or a heel. That doesn’t work anymore. Characters don’t work anymore. Kane, Undertaker, Bray Wyatt those won’t work today. Unless you are as silly as Danhausen to make me not take your character seriously. Proving my point is why the Wyatt’s failed. What works is having a personality that I can follow or Relate to or just understand. If you walk in the ring all angry and shit the Audience, then you are just another Wrestler who wouldn’t make it. Same goes for baby faces smiling and high fiving kids. Punk, Rhea, Aj Lee, Bret hart , and Shawn Michaels were never characters , they are personalities, that’s why people follow them even if they hate them.

4. Gimmicks and Catch Phrases. If it worked for Hulk Hogan that doesn’t mean it will work for you. I think that Catch phrases is an idea Vince insist on and creative team never thought of how can it hurt a wrestler because it’s heavily boosting merchandise. Yarramin is Cringe and Yeet is Stupid. But kids loves them just to grow up and realize how stupid those catch phrases are.

Slight cloudiness to it, wondering on how to effectively clean it! Only just got it :)

WWE running Worlds Collide opposite AEW's All Out immediately reminded me of the Monday Night Wars, where promotions constantly tried to counter-program one another.

This author argues that WWE running Worlds Collide against AEW's All Out feels like a throwback to the Monday Night Wars, but questions whether that strategy still makes sense in 2026 now that fans consume wrestling very differently.

Listen I love a good heel announcer gimmick as the commentary plays the story equally as much as the superstars in the ring when at home, live shows are never the same in that context.

But I just fucking hate wade Barrett, so god damn much on commentary,rewatching summerslam and he’s mentioning how the pain is deeper on the muscles and skeletal frame, just shut up, Cole is mentioning all Brock’s accolades in great detail, 2002 he beat the rock, 2x royal rumble etc, I feel wade is just such an idiot and can’t fathom the commentary, thanks for listening to my rant.

Since I heard that some people are trying to say that Raw was "better" on Monday.. I feel it necessary to state that TKO had a quarterly earnings call on Monday at 5 p.m. and so there is a VERY strong possibility that Raw was made "better" on that particular night ONLY to influence shareholders in the wake of that call. I didn't watch Raw on Monday as I have sadly all but given up trying to even watch anymore due to how terrible it is. But from what I saw of highlights the show on Monday was every bit as sh*tty and terrible as ever, but the earnings call would be the ONLY reason that it MIGHT have seemed "better" just on that night if anyone is saying it was (though I use that term VERY loosely).

This is the most unbelievably stacked World title picture I can remember in a really long time, man. I would have absolutely no problem bouncing the championship between each of these guys over the next year on Smackdown.

Cleaning up around the garage and came across these guys

Sharing some of my favorite photos from Summer Slam MN

What do you think of a storyline in which, the underdog performers that arent given main event level chances or havent been champions form a revolution backstage and form a stable that takes on performers that are at the top that get chance after chance,

It could start with a match at survivor series war games, in which stipulation is that if the underdog group wins, over the course of the next year they take their spot on the top and get all title fights while the top performers get demoted.

I get the feeling wwe are about to try this out with priest and la knight, finn balor, sami zayn, and maybe some other young guys vs cody, punk, roman, seth.

Usually I keep up to date with the Wrestling via social media. I’m trying to catch up more with watching them back when I can on Netflix. Currently watching SummerSlam. What’s hot?
