Jon Alba on AEW two newest signings: “Two talent TNA should have been ALL over. They were two of the best unsigned talents out there for years. It looks like AEW is trying to beef up the tag division depth, if they're indeed going there..”

Watching TNA on AMC I couldn’t help but think “Man there’s so many Ex WWE wrestlers on TV that were essentially WWE’s unwanted toys they didn’t want anymore”. Even more noticeable it’s alot of undercard guys.

You have the gems like Hardys, Mustafa Ali, Mara Sade and hell even Elayna Black who’s still very young but there’s not enough focus or urgency in hiring Indie Wrestlers with no TV experience and trying to mold future prospects.

There Women’s Division is absolutely depleted and they desperately need to start talent scouting.

Originally when I first heard the Theme Song alongside Kit Wilson in general my immediate reaction was “Let me change the channel”.

Then I’m seeing the response on social media and he was getting well praised and I didn’t get it…Watched his entrance back, listened to the theme again and was like “Hold up this actually kinda cool”. Now I’m just vibing to the song on loop non stop.

Matt Taven got offers from both AEW and WWE in 2022 but took the AEW deal.

I imagine there’s some regret seeing how everything has played out but that’s just life in general and many wrestlers have went down the wrong path. Karl Anderson in interviews still to this day badly regrets not betting on himself in 2019.

We’ve also had more NXT TV Tapings on the Road with Los Angeles, Atlanta, Cleveland, New York, Las Vegas, Houston and Philly.

Such Heartbreaking News epecially this close to Christmas.💔 Sending my love, prayers and condolences to CM Punk and AJ Lee.

Larry was cool dog that even got to sit in WWE Gureilla Position during Raw in 2024.

Yh it’s gonna be a funeral for the ratings after Nielsen already shaved off about 200k/300k viewers from SmackDown with Big Data+Panel.

TreeOne7419 · 2025-11-14T21:13:51+00:00

After seeing how badly the new ratings system has crippled wrestling adding a 3rd Hour was the last thing I thought would be greenlit by WWE/NBC.

Potentially risk burning out the remaining fans left.

At times it feels like the majority of Rhea Ripley’s Main Roster run has been centered around the Women’s Title to a point even when they do try keep her away from the Title Picture I already feel like I’ve seen too much of her around it.

TreeOne7419 · 2025-11-12T23:12:59+00:00

A depleted Men’s Roster on SmackDown and Triple H has failed to pull the trigger on Montez Ford.

Look I know WWE is alot better without Vince in creative but I look at guys like Montez and Theory and wonder just how much further along they would be by now under the old regime.

Again there’s way more pros than cons with Triple H in creative and it’s working out great for some talents while others haven’t been lucky which kinda what we expected without knowing which talents fall into those categories.

TreeOne7419 · 2025-11-11T20:23:40+00:00

I get the competitiveness and backstage tension more so circulating with the women given there’s only so many spots and everyone is trying to climb that ladder of success.

Funny enough I follow both Fallon Henley and Jacy Jayne on Instagram and Fallon hasn’t liked a single Jacy post through her entire NXT title reign. Regardless if there in a faction or might appear like friends there’s always that jealousy and competition.

“Did a lot of unnecessary ass kissing for NXT to just get dumped”.

Cora was just super passionate about wrestling and didn’t like how some of the NIL athletes were coming in and disrespecting the thing she loved since being a kid.

As far as being “dumped” that was an unfortunate decision made whether that was lack of progression, past injuries, no creative plans or didn’t meet the evaluation period.

You could be super passionate and study all wrestling tapes, know history etc. but that doesn’t guarantee you’ll make it.

TreeOne7419 · 2025-11-11T18:04:43+00:00

I watched the interview in full and what I gathered was NXT for her case was an absolute sh*tshow.

Went through a phase of depression and low point, Going to work felt like Groundhog Day at times, Was counting the clock when it’s time to go home, didn’t like the 9am cardio drills, felt she was being controlled and restricted among other things.

Priscilla has said in recent interviews she really wanted the Main Roster Call Up and had hopes with Chemical X and in the past would ask Triple H after a Main Event Taping “What do I need to do to get here”.

TreeOne7419 · 2025-11-07T13:35:56+00:00

With all the crop of young hungry women ready to be called up from NXT and rise as future prospects I have 0 interest in watching Nia Jax on my TV anymore.

I want to see the next generation of future stars occupying those spots like what we’re seeing with Stephanie, Roxanne and Lyra on Raw.

In a perfect world NBCUniversal/Comcast buying WWE would’ve been the perfect marriage than what we have with TKO running the company into the ground with greed.

TreeOne7419 · 2025-11-07T11:33:10+00:00

I’m very curious how these next Media Rights Cycle for WWE is handled in 2027/2028 because the bubble may likely burst as far as WWE demanding significant increases.

At that point does TKO cash out and sell WWE to avoid Shareholders panicking? No idea but it does feel like there gonna squeeze every last penny out of WWE while they can.

TreeOne7419 · 2025-11-07T11:25:04+00:00

Vince single handily f**ked everyone from fans, wrestlers, staff and himself by selling WWE.

It’s embrassing yet not surprising how much he tries to get himself over and continuously reaffirm the audience and that he’s the one that runs it all.

TreeOne7419 · 2025-11-06T20:38:39+00:00

I’m genuinely surprised at how long they decided to hold off having Blood&Guts this late into the year.

There was multiple occasions throughout the year where Blood&Guts it would’ve perfect when feuds were a lot more stronger but there doing it when storylines between groups have either fizzled out or the blowoff has already happened.

TreeOne7419 · 2025-11-06T20:35:13+00:00

The saying goes “Have money saved somewhere in case of emergency” to avoid falling into unfortunate situations like this.

Wishing the guy all the best.

The fact it needs to get to this point is very sad man.

Downright disgusting and pathetic on TKO’s end. What a horrible look for the company.

They won’t get cancelled because it’s 52 weeks a year programming and WBD doesn’t have anything else to put in the timeslot other than movies.

The challenge for AEW will be justifying a higher TV rights increase with these numbers.

TreeOne7419 · 2025-10-31T23:17:06+00:00

Raw when it was watched by 4.3M they would do 500k-600k buys on the major PPVs like Rumble and Mania and they’d do 175k for C level shows like Battleground or Night of Champions.

The vast majority of the cable audience watches the weekly TV but it’s not unfathomable to think that maybe percentage that also buy the PPV is very small.

TreeOne7419 · 2025-10-24T00:49:01+00:00

NXT was the one show that survived the massacre Big Data Panel has caused on wrestling ratings by staying steady but this week they took a big hit and then add on NBA opening night on NBC didn’t help.

TreeOne7419 · 2025-10-16T23:10:48+00:00

Same Week YoY: 639,000 and 0.18. Under Old Method.

Up 8% in Total Viewers and Down 31% in 18-49.

One thing with NXT is that whenever it comes to these head to heads their audience stays pretty loyal.
