Thank you Court Bauer for allowing old wrestlemen to scream at me through podcasts

"I was being quiet and trying to be a good boy but he dialed the right combination to open the throw-down vault and it was on."

Much Lucha Atlanta put on another good show. Rush won the title in a triple threat with then-champ Mecha Wolf (boooooo!) and Caristico. He kicked the ref in the ribs to break up a pin, hit a pile driver on Wolf and countered Caristico's springboard attempt with a dick kick. I have to say, it seems like this guy is difficult to govern.

Rey Horus and AR Fox had a rad match. Fox tried to start a Donald Trump chant, which the predominantly Hispanic crowd shouted down.

Jeff Cobb did Jeff Cobb things.

It was fun times. MLA rules.

They just added On Point Wrestling's Survival of the Sickest which is a pretty fun deathmatch show. If you like deathmatches.

other stuff:
Black Label Pro
Caralucha(real deal mexican lucha with actual production values, WHAT IS THIS MADNESS)
Dynamite Cup (that Tom Green guy in the twitter thread did a show for his kid, some of the matches on it reviewed well)
Battlewar (the continuing adventures of Giant Tiger after he got sober)

For some reason I have a feeling the reason Gabe's numbers were so high were because he was constantly counting people illegally streaming his iPPVs while trying to simultaneously shut them down. Didn't Gabe have some "hit" out to have his drones find the illegal streams and report them to him in exchange for like, a free DVD or something?

he had that report piracy feature dating back to DGUSA but I've never heard anyone either reporting or getting anything in return.

his reported numbers were high because they were probably fake, or took a mania weekend number and extrapolated it to a whole year. the whole ott/streaming market is a lot smaller than they let on. after wwe network's 1.3m+ and njpw world's 10k in the west, the numbers, as it has been told to me, are much much lower. like some of these services are dealing in hundreds. i can't see how wwn got 5k considering their attendance/other service's numbers.

My guess is they knew the numbers were BS from the beginning but kept it in their pocket in case the service failed and they needed out of the contract.

pretty much, WWN's CDN capped at 1k users and wasn't scalable. In order to get around that, they were going to have to throw around some serious cash to get into spec but Flo Slam came along. I believe the numbers WWN said they were doing were 2-3k. If Flo accepted those numbers at face value, they might be dumber than Dixie Carter.
