I love that there are Writers and producers at the End. I look for that every week. I feel they deserve credit for good things also, as well as the actual Performers we see weekly.

2025-04-19 03:54:34 +0000 UTC"SPOILER CHANGED MATCH: Chelsea Green vs. Zelina listed as non-title" Heaven forbid we have a mid card title defense at a ppv/ple.

2025-04-18 23:27:23 +0000 UTCOkay, fine. But even you have to admit. 2 to 1 talking ratio is too damn high for a professional wrestling show, right. At least try to make it 50/50 at the very least. Especially when you're trying to fill a 3 hour show.

2025-04-18 23:23:37 +0000 UTCThe go home show before a PLE or PPV isn't supposed to be full of matches. It's supposed to promote the event. I'm not sure how that concept eludes you.

2025-04-18 22:57:52 +0000 UTCOne of those matches are battle riyal, it includes 20 men and it’s gonna take up a lot of time, that’s why it’s only 4 and a half matches . As for the build up yeah I pretty much has given up on that but I’m hoping we get good matches and results in wrestlemania

2025-04-18 22:24:53 +0000 UTCWhy do I keep reading ‘Andre battle royal’ as ‘Andrade battle royal’?
