@WrestlePurists This is bad aggregation. You switched the first line into a passive tone of “word has spread” when WON reports that WWE is actively spreading this rumor. WON is also clear that it’s the highest levels of WWE, whereas this makes it ambiguous between WWE, PSKY, or AEW.

One person in WWE noted that word has spread in the company among some if not many that AEW won’t be on Paramount/Skydance (when their current deal expires) and question if they can get a viable deal elsewhere. “One person there noted that people at the highest levels are talking like AEW won’t get another deal, but those kind of stories spread previously at the last negotiations, not that they wouldn’t get a deal, but that their deal would be at the same level or perhaps a lower level than the prior deal and instead they had a 2.3x increase.” - Dave Meltzer (@WONF4W)

@Howdog11 @KXNGAO They couldn’t use Shida, Stat, Jamie, Thekla, Toni, Mercedes, Riho. Bayne looks to be in a tag program. Skye’s already kinda pushing it for card position. Maybe Thunder Rosa? Idk why people are complaining about getting a MOTY out of this tournament.

@Ryan_Largent @KXNGAO True, but arent there others on the AEW roster who should be there? The men are using everyone on their roster

Tony Khan says Persephone and Sareee’s matches will take place further along in the Owen Hart Foundation tournament, when they are recovered from their injuries! (ROH Supercard of Honor media call)

@Noahgilberto19 Sareee’s about to sell it out, don’t worry fam (But seriously, if Omega vs Ospreay is the men’s title match plus a Bucks/FTR/C&C(+New Day?) TLC match then I think once they’re announced that’ll get tickets to start moving more.)

This show needs to pick up the pace here a little bit

@Howdog11 @KXNGAO Persephone has an AEW contract, and if you get the chance to book possibly the greatest TV women’s match ever with Athena vs Sareee you take it. It’s also likely Sareee is out nursing her neck *because* of the Owen, to rest up beforehand.

@KXNGAO Wouldnt it make more sense to put in 2 women who are healthy and are on the AEW roster?

@ExposingIWC There are also people thinking she won’t participate in the Owen when her first match might be a month from now anyway, and that either she didn’t tell AEW about an injury or AEW knew and announced anyway. She’s not being replaced. This isn’t a bait and switch. Use your heads.

We have another pass or fail test in the IWC that should lead to a block or a mute. There are people who think Sareee is lying to three different promotions about a neck injury so she can go work AEW. Please seek help, and get off of my timeline.

@Noahgilberto19 I’ve long advocated they drop the Trios belts in favor of Continental Tag belts with the Mox reign gimmick (challenges earned either by defeating the C2 winner during the tournament group stage or by winning/drawing in an eliminator proving ground match).

They could legit run a Tag Team Continental Classic and it would be incredible

@nomoredawg @Querain491 Not exactly. The default is it not being allowed, but the General Assembly can pass laws to allow for such sales in a county, city, or even a particular parcel. There are many places in Maryland where you can buy beer & wine at gas stations.

@Querain491 Maryland has banned selling booze in gas stations and supermarkets since the 70s

I love that Sheetz has a ‘soda cave’ which they obviously plan to convert to a beer cave whenever Maryland passes a law that lets them

@ringofhonor I think my fellow Delmarvan @SussexCoChicken might need to teach @IanRiccaboni how to pronounce Wicomico! :P Very much looking forward to seeing @ringofhonor there in May

JUST ANNOUNCED! #ROH is heading to Maryland for ROH: Supercard of Honor! Be there LIVE when #ROHSupercard takes over the Wicomico Civic Center on Friday, May 15th! For more details, go to RingofHonor.com to sign up for ROH Insider.

@exitzoostation @SkytelWrestling I believe the reason why it isn’t available there is AEW are trying to grab the broadcast contract which WWE vacated when moving to Netflix in India. Consistent with why it’s not fully available in US, Canada, & Mexico too (superseding deals).

@SkytelWrestling Do you think they will be going anywhere new this year? I saw when myaew launched there was a lot of fans in India disappointed it wasn't available overthere Nick Khan has spoken about putting an event there, it would be cool for AEW to get in first & do a tour

They're running major markets for every PPV this year going forward. Vancouver, New York, London, and many more. They're loading up on major attractions for all. They're building momentum, and doing it with one of the deepest and loaded professional wrestling roster ever.

@RobViper I need you to ask yourself this seriously: did you seriously think a promotion with only two titles would have one be lost in their first ever collaborative event with another promotion? If you answer yes, you might need to reevaluate the Overton window on CMLL bootlicking

Jesus. I'm the most negative motherfucker of anyone when it comes to CMLL boot licking for outside-Mexico attention & even *I* thought there was no way they'd go 0 for 2 against a minor league group that barely exists. The Mexicans are second class citizens in Arena Mexico now.

6 for 6, baby! 💯 If you need me, I'll be busy updating my Tinder profile.

@davemeltzerWON You then mentioned about Revolution's secondary market that it shows "a gigantic difference in the public’s eye in the value of seeing an AEW major show vs a WWE major show." Revolution's cheapest is $35, secondary at $50 is a 43% increase. Chamber's secondary is a 20% increase.

@davemeltzerWON Hey @davemeltzerWON - you mentioned there's strong secondary market demand for Chamber but that doesn't seem to be the case. Secondary is at $313, but the primary is $261 with lots of tix still available. That's not strong secondary demand, that's scalpers selling at cost+fee.

@davemeltzerWON About to? The harassment Venn diagram for his day job vs this is a circle.

@StevesRawMind @BenDover6662 @PeterTwinklage 2023 Harris poll. Method is based on self-identification, this sample has the avg of all respondents identify as centre-right and wrestling to the left of that avg. Some sports have shifted but most are still in the same positions relative to each other sportico.com/leagues/golf/2…

@Ryan_Largent @BenDover6662 @PeterTwinklage i wonder what an update of that 17 year old data would look like today

Democrats have received *checks notes* professional wrestling in the national divorce

@RickOShea54321 @EdKrassen @grok Never trust Grok lol This is a Harris poll from 2023 on the subject. Method is based on self-identification, this sample has the average of all respondents identify as centre-right and wrestling to the left of that average. sportico.com/leagues/golf/2…

@Ryan_Largent @EdKrassen @grok Is there a more recent version of what this graph details?

Trump has to hate this! Last night’s AEW Dynamite wrestling match took an unexpected turn when the crowd in Las Vegas started cheering “F—k ICE” over and over again just before the main event between MJF and Brody King.

@politics_pot @SocialistMMA The graph says Democratic skewing, idk what you’re looking for here. Slamming on the right-wing Facebook dad emoji isn’t changing things.

@Ryan_Largent @SocialistMMA Sounds great😂😂😂 I get it they’re just libs😂😂😂

They are changing “Fuck ICE” at wrestling events now. Trump and the Republican Party is cooked

@CapnYappin @SocialistMMA It’s the fanbases, not the companies. WWE obviously has a very close relationship with US Leader. Other surveys have found similarly that wrestling fans are generally to the left of most sports’ fanbases.

@Ryan_Largent @SocialistMMA What retarded ass chart is this. WWE and Monster Trucks are not democratic lmaoo

@politics_pot @SocialistMMA I have zero clue what your angle is here, your comment is totally incongruent with what you normally post. I can provide you more surveys that have found the same result. Today’s fans are far more liberal than you think they are.

@Ryan_Largent @SocialistMMA I knew it, they were going to argue wresting fans are Liberals😂😂😂😂

@JenniferLBrewer @headquarters_67 You might be to find out that wrestling fans (especially AEW ones) are fairly liberal. It’s mainly old-timers and WWE’s relationship with US Leader that makes it seem otherwise.

@headquarters_67 They've even lost the wrestling fans.

Professional wrestling crowd erupts into chants of "FUCK ICE"

@BenDover6662 @PeterTwinklage Wrestling fans are a bit farther left than you think

@PeterTwinklage Pro wrestlers are right wing (generally) pro wrestling fans are centrist / libertarian (generally).
