Media Scrum Planned? 2 Million Viewers on the way?

Just a theory, but did Khan see the writing on the wall? Did he notice, shit, Cody was right, I should have listened to him. Did I give the wrong people (i.e. Bucks and Omega) too much power? Then hear comes Punk, who doesn’t take shit, will speak the truth and piss the ego’s of the EVP’s off sooo much, action has to be taken against them? 

This is a theory that has legs, no one cares about the Elite other than their niche fans and fanbase. Me personally, cannot watch a spot fest match they put on, is looking forward to a fresh Dynamite with endless possibilities. It sucks MJF is the real loser in all of this but what if this was a scenario that played right into Punk and Khans plan? 

This makes Punk an instant heel, MJF is being buried again, this adds another excellent chapter into the feud. MJF said he would show you who the real Punk is, and now the “chips are down”, both hands have been shown. Who is going to take the jackpot. My vision, this is MJF and Cm Punk giving AEW their first 2 million person viewership if done right?

ABC News Originals Presents ‘GameStopped,’ the First In-Depth Look at the Jaw-Dropping Twists and Turns in the Stunning Chain of Events Now Synonymous With the Name GameStop

‘GameStopped’ to Stream Exclusively on Hulu Beginning Monday, March 15

ABC News Originals presents an in-depth look at the jaw-dropping twists and turns in the stunning chain of events now synonymous with the name GameStop. From the team behind the Edward R. Murrow Award-Winning podcast “The Dropout,” including ABC News Chief Business, Technology and Economics Correspondent Rebecca Jarvis, “GameStopped” will be the first documentary released to chronicle the heart-pounding moments of this financial roller coaster, unpacking what led to this cultural phenomenon and explaining its ramifications for years to come. Jarvis, who has covered this story from the beginning, provides in-depth analysis of the saga, detailing how chatter on the Reddit page r/wallstreetbets turned Wall Street upside down, creating and costing fortunes. The special includes interviews with co-founders of Gemini Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, Robinhood CEO Vladimir Tenev, Reddit CEO Steven Huffman, Robinhood Securities President and COO Jim Swartwout, Bartsool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, world famous short-seller Jim Chanos,  billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban, “Mad Money” host Jim Cramer and everyday Reddit investors who bet big on GameStop to varying ends. “GameStopped” will stream exclusively on Hulu, in the U.S., starting March 15. 

The rise in popularity of trading apps and pandemic induced lockdowns created a perfect storm for this stock market saga. With the ability to access the market directly through these apps, including Robinhood, Reddit page r/wallstreetbets users began to buy up struggling GameStop stock causing prices to soar. This led to a “short squeeze” as bigger investors, who had bet against the video game retailer, backed out. “GameStopped” brings viewers into the frenzy surrounding, what some have called, a "David and Goliath'' battle. The special takes a closer look at the everyday people caught in the middle, the financial institutions running the show, the regulators and politicians scratching their heads and the flamethrowers hyping the crowds and fanning the flames.

Roxanna Sherwood is Senior Executive Producer. Victoria Thompson and Eric Drath are executive producers. Drath and his team at Live Star Entertainment are behind several celebrated ESPN 30 for 30s and most recently “MACHO: The Hector Camacho Story” on Showtime.

War Raiders Returning

It’s obvious isn’t it? Just look at their match with the New Day that just happened on Smackdown (9/2/2022). The Viking Raiders are awesome!! But they are nothing like when they were the War Raiders in NXT. 

Yes, under Triple H, the Viking Raiders can be just as heavily booked as the War Raiders. but just remember all the NXT Takeovers, “WAR! WAR! WAR! WAR! WAR!” My gawd they were so over, Ivar cartwheeling, Erik being a fucking menace. I would love to see in my #FantasyBookingMind the Viking Raiders go on a losing streak and need to find their edge, bring the pillage, bring the WAR to WWE. I feel like that would be a natural way to bring them back to their roots and War Raiders would just be THE tag team, with the Street Profits, Hit Row (honestly not sold on them..) the Uso’s, the possible KO Sami Tag. it’s going to be awesome by the time Wrestle Mania comes around!

Raquel & Aliyah Were the Correct Pick for Champions

Putting the Titles on Raquel and Aliyah were the only move WWE and Trip’s had for long term booking. We get it, the “correct” move would be to have Dakota Kai and Io Sky win in a perfect world, but this isn’t a perfect world, this is wrestling and the booker (Triple H) is thinking more long term than the former. 

You have to look at everything that happened, WWE social’s are pushing the video that Dakota Kai wasn’t the legal member to get pinned. This sets up a perfect storm for them to have an axe to grind. 

Also, do you want Kai and Sky (love it) to get beat clean? I get Raquel and Aliyah are not the fans favorite pick, but were the only “legit” team to put over at the moment. Because it is inevitable Sasha and Naomi are coming back, to reclaim the titles they never lost, against a team that is really inferior compared to the team of Sky and Kai. Now you have a team that never lost feuding with a team that wasn’t legally pinned. It is beautiful and there are more ways this could go, but you have to look at who is coming back and protecting the money match for a bigger pay per view. 

Think about it, do you want Sky & Kai v. Sasha and Naomi at Clash at the Castle? or have them return at CATC to set up a potential Hell in a Cell, Royal Rumble and Wrestle Mania feud? you cannot give everyone a Super Bowl every week, you have to make these matches mean something and what most viewers consider boring i see as a set up for a HUGE pay off comparted to the outlaw, lazy, hot shot booking that used to happen and we see in AEW. (personal Opinion).
