It's not surprising that this one leaked. We've seen the demographics; the people watching WWE aren't the ones travelling for thanksgiving, they're they ones sat at home waiting for their families to arrive.

Just imagine the horrible family arguments that erupt at the dinner table when an AEW fan goes to their WWE parents' house for Turkey Day

Has anyone said that the Battle of the Belts will just be the various champions smashing their belts together like conkers until all but one are damanged beyond recognition? Because that's a scoop for you all.
e: this has been the first fast national leak where the reaction has been "that doesn't seem terrible?" The worst spin I saw on them was that it shows that the growth is maybe not as significant as could be hoped, and they had slowed down after gobbling up the NXT audience.

I was expecting this week to not do well because of the proximity to Thanksgiving, yeah. People travelling and going to pre-holiday meetups and the like.

Yeah, their up year over year for the night before thanksgiving, and this year’s numbers aren’t the finals. The number is actually good in context.

It was a great match but they both are capable of more. I'm super excited to see it again someday.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Renaissance Spam posted:

Hangman/Omega without the build honestly wasn't even a five star match and certainly not the best match on the card. It was catharsis but Omega v Fenix from earlier this year was a better match with one if the participants at least.

I was thinking the same thing. The match was great and I don't have any complaints, but if it were a PPV main event you know they could raise it to another level.

Star ratings are subjective. I didn't give it 5 either. Still my 4th best match of the year though.

Can't believe Dante did Lio dirty like that but then him stepping across the table ruled.
