Funny enough I front rant the Simulcast idea to Brandon when we ended yesterday. I had thought it made ESPN+ an interesting potential home as they have used simulcasts on ESPN+ in ways that brought internet audiences of a popular golf Podcast for the PGA Championship.

Sure enough, this becomes the home. Does that ..read more

SANADA won the match, but Tsuji cemented his place as a future main event star and displayed top-level charisma in the seventeen-minute match. Thanks for pointing this out. I ..read more

What’s the story behind Shawn Michaels’ 4 year hiatus? Was he actually injured for all four years? Or did he have no interest in becoming a full time performer again until 2002?

Do you think the career of Triple H would turn out differently? Thanks ..read more
