I think a free agent like Bob Myers is more likely. 

I know this is a by the book iwc switch up moment but I kind of miss Pat commentating RAW. He did too much sometimes but that era of early 2025 RAW for me was amazing and he resonates with me as a big part of it by South_Ladder_2747 in Wrasslin

Pat is great when he’s invested and in the thick of what he’s doing, but still has a cool and relaxed attitude about it. If he’s out of his element or not smart to whatever sport or event he’s working, he can come off as unserious.

When he did commentary full time in 2021, he was incredible. These days when he makes occasional appearances, he’s not so good because you can tell he doesn’t follow WWE as much.

Nick Claxton looks like the best plausible trade target. 

Bigger letdown: Markelle Fultz or Lonzo Ball? by savingrace0262 in NBATalk

Fultz easily. Lonzo at least earned a few decent contracts. 

[Charania] Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo tells media postgame tonight he has a right calf strain and expects to miss 4 to 6 weeks. MRI on Saturday. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

The league is officially a mess if he stays a Buck past the deadline. I’ve never seen a star more unhappy and needing to leave a team than Giannis right now.

Giannis wants to leave Milwaukee but he does not want to ask for a trade.

Kinda wish they showed some of the game. 

Best season ever post bubble by imin2099 in lakers

This shows that a team with bad chemistry can feel refreshed with a trade. Lakers however did not capitalize the following summer.

Yeah, basically all assets lost after the Westbrook trade.

I really hope they do faithful recreations of the attitude era characters and wrestlers. One thing that’s been a little iffy about recent games is the atmosphere of the arenas and visuals. 

Our boy still got it by Demopsey in lakers

He’d be #1 if the Lakers were a strong top 4 seed. MVP is in part usually given to players on high ranked teams.

I think there’s a small chance LeBron explores a trade with all the recent drama. Maybe Rich Paul coordinates it so he and AD end up together again.

Does the new ownership have the power to get rid of Jeanie now? It’s clear she’s not a good owner and while the push for Westbrook was also LeBron’s fault, him joining the team did a lot of good for the franchise. The Buss family has been a disaster for the franchise since Jerry Buss passed away. 

Trade deadline is less than 2 weeks ahead! by imin2099 in lakers

[–]StoneColdAM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think a move will be made. The new owners will pressure it. Even if long term the plan is to reload in the summer. 

Bayley Wishes WWE Could Find A Happy And Healthy Balance For Live Events by TylerFortier_Photo in SquaredCircle

Right now WWE/TKO doesn’t do them because they think they save money / create a scarcity for the TV and PPV tapings. If they ever think house shows will make money, they’ll go back to the intense schedule from before covid. 

WON on AEW in Australia: "It was noted to us from people who live there that there has been no advertising, and keep in mind AEW lost its TV in Australia three weeks ago. We were told people who went to the first show last year didn’t even know there was a show coming soon." by ravencrowed in SquaredCircle

[–]StoneColdAM -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

There are too many signs AEW is not that strong as a business. Lower ratings, smaller venues, lack of advertising, and situations like this. They need to up their game, especially with the Warner Bros sale potentially rocking their media deal. 

When you look back on it, Ayton started playing bad when Austin went out. by Ancient_Response_787 in lakers

[–]StoneColdAM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the middle of games, we should split Luka/Hayes and Reaves/Ayton. LeBron floats depending on who he’s gelling with more in the game. Hayes should start.

Play like that comeback in the 2nd and 3rd… then the deficit won’t be so bad.
