For Anyone Interested, WWE Blood Money With A Vengeance Comes To Saudi Arabia October 21st

Source: https://www.f4wonline.com/wwe-news/wwe-returning-saudi-arabia-october-21-348201

Welp… you’d figure that it would only be a matter of time before WWE returned to the progressively progressive kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where they will present yet another GREATEST [insert word here] EVER! Whatever it takes to get some of that sweet Saudi blood money. Hopefully, nobody gets assassinated before the show takes place. Wouldn’t that be embarrassing?!
In other news, I think after last night’s RAW, Nikki ASH needs to change her name to Nikki SAG… because she’s Still A Geek. So, congratulations, Kana-chan. You’re off the hook!

AEW Moving To TBS In 2022, New AEW Rampage Show Debuts In August

Wasn’t able to catch last night’s Dynamite show, but heard it was a good push towards the PPV and featured Rebel in a match… the same Rebel who had that match with Shelley in TNA ages ago. The less said, the better. On the flip side, Serena Deeb made her return to action and didn’t miss a beat. So I’ll try and catch the show during the weekend… anything to cleanse the pallet of the zombies.
Instead, I want to touch on the news regarding AEW moving to TBS next year, which a lot of people have mixed feelings about. I don’t know if I’m ready to wave the white flag yet. Yes, TNA has switched networks over the years to diminishing returns, but so has Smackdown, going from UPN to CW to SciFi (I refuse to called SiFy or whatever) to USA to its current home on FOX. Hell, even RAW left USA Network for TNN (later Spike, later Paramount? I think…) and then back to USA. As I recall, those moves have been relatively positive. So no, AEW to TBS isn’t going to be a bad thing, especially if it means not getting pre-emptied by basketball and hockey, which were more than likely on TNT, as evident by next week’s show taking place on a Friday.
Besides, TNT isn’t going to be left out of the dust; they’re getting FOUR quarterly specials; presumably the special editions of Dynamite that AEW would normally host. So that’s more programming for AEW… and that’s not even bringing up the debut of the mythical third hour of AEW called Rampage… all the jokes I will make on this one…
For the moment, I think things are looking up for the next year. As far as beyond is concerned, we’ll see. But for now, everything is just fine.
Um… wrong choice of words, perhaps.

Billie Kay Released Because Kevin Dunn Doesn’t Get Her

So the Bucky Beaver Motherfucker strikes again.
(Again? Who do you think allows for that atrocious editing and camera cutting on WWE programing?)
I’ll admit to not being the biggest Billie Kay fan in the world. In fact, I find her to be quite hideous in more ways than one and a large part has to do with the amount of make-up they cake this poor girl world (watch her YouTube stuff and you’ll find she’s actually not that bad looking), but letting her go because Bucky Beaver decided there was a ceiling for her. Dude, you’ve got a whole bunch of people with ceilings; you might as well drop them too.
Oh wait, you already have… Oops.

Ey Ee Dubya… Ded By NationalAnalLubeDay

Yeah, so this is a thing.

So there’s a number of ways to see this. One could be Vince losing his mind and approving the deal because he either still thinks Jericho is a WWE guy or maybe Austin said he’s interviewing Chris Masters. OR you could see this as Jericho

In any event, this is a good thing. It gives AEW some added publicity and visibility (assuming it gets mentioned at all), it gives PEA-COCK some potential must-see content since they’ve got fuck all at the moment (and considering all the “editing” done to conform to modern standards, they’re having fuck all for a good long while), and it gives the twits on Twitter and various “social” media platforms to debate and shitpost things over.

Hey, you know what? I might actually tune in to see this one, just to see how it turns out and whether anything outside Vince’s bubble is worth mentioning. I mean, I suppose it’s okay for AEW to get mentioned. They’re in the “sports entertainment” business, while Vince is in the “content provider” business.

WWE Wants To Own Your Twitch

In the latest chapter of WWE Vs. Twitch, WWE is going to begin the process of taking control of their roster’s various Twitch channels. They’ll gain the revenue, with a small cut given to talent against their downside guarantee. Will this be the thing that causes disgruntled people to finally act or will this be something they “get used to” because they’re just happy to be there?

Hey, idiots! If you want people to stop bashing WWE for stupid shit, then tell WWE to stop doing stupid shit.
