    Haha nice man...that's funny you're going to that PPV because that was the PPV that was originally Backlash in San Diego, which I was going to go to! lol Because of the Saudi date being changed they ended up having to change the day/location for that PPV too. Hopefully it's good show and you won't be mad they moved it to your area haha
    I honestly don 't think the FOX things is going to help that much. For all the viewers they will gain by the extra homes Fox will give them, I really think the move to Friday will just cancel those out and they will be just be back to where they are now on Tuesdays night on USA network. I could be wrong and having SD pushed on Thursday night football might give them a bigger boost than I'm predicting, but Friday night is such a HORRIBLE night to have the show on. People are just going to DVR it and watch it some other time over the weekend IMO

    Dude... I can't even fathom a scenario where people who already aren't watching on TUESDAY are going to either come back or START on Friday's. They could theoretically improve their kid audience, but no 18-34's who are casual or non viewers are going to come back on a weekend night.

    WRESTLING IS A JOKE. ALL ELITE IS OUR LAST CHANCE

    Jesus. I remember she was one of my last crushes before they went PG and I stopped really caring about that. Sad she never got to do any Rumble's or things like that, her last tweet was about fan mail and she clearly wanted it.

    d---, I remember wanting her to win the Diva Search but don't remember a whole lot about her career. Hate hearing it, I believe she has a daughter that's pretty young

    They're now saying it was a suicide, also I guess she had a lot of health issues that she blamed on the WWE, so wouldn't be surprised if there's some lawsuit coming up..

    I would. If that former case she was involved with didn't go anywhere, this probably won't either.

    This woman had substance abuse problems too. Some reports I read said she mixed drugs together causing them to say it was a suicide and some just are saying overdosing. Regardless, athletes including the WWE needs some sort of support when they leave the business. They helped make their company millions while beating the h--- out of their body. You in pain and you were a star? Here’s any opiate that you want that will take the pain away. If you smoke a joint though, then you get suspended. It’s sort of disgusting in how you look at nfl teams, selfish Vince and retired athletes now killing themselves or having a substance abuse problem, caused by the company the franchise they worked for. There should be some program where the athletes get mri’s when they retire, and the company has to help them get either physical therapy, counseling, depending on their problem. Whatever they need. It’s getting sad, at this point.

    They definitely need to set up a better health care system, including ex-employees in it as well. Realistically though, they probably won't. I mean they were already pretty greedy with their $$ when they were doing well and now ratings and attendance are down, so hard to believe they'd do it at this point..

    On a lighter note, anyone watching the PPV tonight? I won't be watching it live but gonna watch it afterwords, definitely less excited bout it than most MITB shows, but we still got 2 MITB matches and 2 good title matches so hopefully it'll be an enjoyable show. I'm also excited to see where stories go since I'm going to the stomping grounds PPV next month and wanna know what match ups I'll be seeing.

    I’m actually probably going to watch it, since still being billed by the network. Haven’t been watching it, but checked the card out and actually seems solid. Some decent feuds, but idk how they will make more story plots up in time that are good before the next ppv. Usually that ladder match is fairly entertaining. Probably pop a few V’s this evening and just chill and watch the matches that i find entertaining enough.

    Really wanted Dana Brooke to win the MITB but they'll probably never pull the trigger on her

    I love Becky, but.....where are her NXT wrestling skills? I swear her choreographed offense has gotten Early 2000's Commercial/Mainstream WWE Woman Wrestler sloppy. I've seen Ivory be better coordinated. Maybe it's just me. Not a fan of that. Charlotte's kick didn't even connect. Is that really Rebecca Quinn? She needs to wrestle like she did in 2015. Not understanding what happened over the years. And I guess Charlotte is heel again. Lacey Evans is trash, mayne. Get The "F" out.

    Decent matches tbh, but Roman ruined the vibe of course. Having him win the match in 5 seconds. That should have been a smackdown segment. Not on a ppv event. Favorite match so far was Shane vs the Miz. Really hoping Owens gets the win, but I doubt Kofi will be losing the belt yet. I think ratings would go up with Owens as the champ. He can do really good promos too. Kofi isn’t good with promos, interviews. Really boring character to me.

    The Rollins/Styles match was actually entertaining and a lot of athleticism in the match. I’d give it a 4/5. Those types of matches I enjoy watching.

    Well the money in the bank match took an unexpected turn. I’m happy with the outcome, since randy orton didn’t win it. I was hoping Orton would win, but figured he wouldn’t. I really didn’t want to see anyone else win and see no popular championship value in the others. The unpredictable show up was pretty genius imo. Ik some people will b----, but the guy brings ratings, merchandise sales, fills stadiums. Probably why they had him win this.

    No he doesn't lol, they're terrified the ratings have dropped and thrown a boat load of money at Brock again instead of making a new star. Any new star.

    The match and AJ/Rollins were fantastic though.
