Hopefully every sport stops taking fans for granted. Makes such a big difference having a crowd.
UFCs first event in the US with a crowd was great and you could see the fighters really went for it due to the buzz.

Wish Turner would release some sort of sub service so I could subscribe to that instead of paying AEW $50 every time they have a PPV. Decided not to buy it this time, and didn't bother looking for a stream. Highlights I saw looked great though, crowd was eating it up.
RAW wasn't bad from what I watched last night, real good match between Kofi and Drew. I'm a bit sick of Drew in the title scene, not that he's bad or anything I'm just ready for someone else to challenge Bobby Lashley. Has to be the RAW Hell in a Cell match. Hoping Cesaro and Seth Rollins are the Smackdown version

Not sure I totally agree right now. He just had a program with Drew earlier in the year before moving onto Riddle for the US Championship. He is killing it though!
Friday's Dynamite was about 526k, that's a huge drop, yes it was on a different night but you would think their fans would have known it was moving, doesn't help that the week before at it's regular spot was only in the 821k range. The "wrong night" thing doesn't hold too much water btw they've had Thursday and Saturday night shows that did in the 800k range.
Only things I've even seen worth watching from them lately are that they FINALLY did with Miro what they should have from the start, The Acclaimed are fun and hopefully they'll do something decent with FTR and MJF's group and have them deal with someone besides Jericho who's so old he can't fall on a mattress without dislocating his elbow lol.

I'm pretty sure I've said this on here before, but putting wrestling on a Friday SUCKS. I miss when Smackdown was on Tuesdays, hell even Thursdays. I feel like there's so many things I'd rather do on a Friday night than watch wrestling, be it going out or gaming or whatever. AEW was probably victim of that, especially when they always talk about the "demo" which is prone to not sit in on a Friday
Latest list of talent released by WWE:
Wouldn't be surprised to see more cuts. Braun is actually a massive surprise. Buddy and Aleister got the raw end of the deal, they were great talents that they completely f***ed
- Braun Strowman
- Aleister Black
- Ruby Riott
- Lana
- Santana Garrett
- Buddy Murphy

They only talk about the "demo" because their overall numbers aren't amazing so they try to pick out a positive, it's like a gaming company who only talks about engagement rather than sales lol.
A few of those are surprising and a few aren't. I hope Lana doesn't end up in AEW with Miro that'll just screw him up again. She is very much a "hey everyone look at me" kind of girl and will likely take his spotlight right when they've finally started doing the right thing with him. I do like her I just think once they F'd up in WWE and made her more than the ravishing Russian and Rusev's manager they ruined her. Nobody likes her actual personality.
I'd go on record as saying the only non surprising releases here are Lana and Santana Garrett, who I don't think ever actually wrestled for them.
Braun was a champion less than a year ago
Aleister Black was money, but they never did anything with him
Ruby Riott was a great wrestler who probably should have been champion at some point, at least with the Riott Squad as tag champs
Buddy Murphy was an amazing wrestler who was never given a midcard run like he should have been.
Black and Murphy had that series of matches a few years ago, I thought it was going to elevate both of them to great heights. Turns out I was very wrong and they did nothing with them after.
I get the reasoning behind it, but man they are still raking in the profits. Couldn't they have tried to negotiate his salary down?

They had no choice really, if they stayed on TNT they'd not only be moved around but totally pre-empted a lot too. TBS is pretty much attached to TNT on all of the cable/satellite providers so they won't be in fewer houses, we'll just see how many people follow them. It's crazy that such a large portion of their audience didn't follow them to Friday though. The first Friday you could say "oh they didn't know" but it keeps dropping and in a significant way.
