I haven't watched any WWE weekly shows in like 3 years and stopped watching PPVs quite a while ago before cancelling; my wife stopped watching completely long before I did because the product sucked so much rear end and she got tired of how bad the women's roster was booked. Aside from the odd NXT or NJPW stuff here and there I didn't really watch any wrestling as of late. Not lying when I say Double or Nothing pretty much got me back into it again because of how loving great it was and even my wife watched most of it because she loved the stuff like the joshi match. It's an entirely different dimension from the dogshit WWE is shoveling out right now.

Double Or Nothing is easily my favorite US PPV of the decade and the only reason it's not my fav event of the whole year is because DDT came to America that one time :swoon:

Do we know who nuBray will fight once he gets out of the Firefly Funhouse?

Who could they use? And will they be so stupid as to have him lose the feud?

From what I've heard: Finn, Big E (in a tease to break up new day which they won't do), or Roode swapping in for AJ due to his injury.

And yes.

Yes they will.

You're overestimating how much people care about WWE still

Yesterday's Raw GDT had 9 people with over ten posts in it, and a third of those 9 were a) the mod who only watches so he can make these discussion threads, b) Darkstar who's getting progressively more fed up because he can't even lie about the joshi being treated right anymore, and c) Cavauro

I'm sure, but I have no doubt that there's still that dedicated group of people who can't make themselves not watch on Monday nights and another group that still watches but doesn't take part in the discussions because they find they worsen their experience. And I could see them getting a kick out of giving back.

Which isn't to say I'm saying don't do it or that's terrible or anything. It was just my first reaction.

this is the story of dozens of WWE people, though probably not Bryan. People like The Revival and Sasha reupped contracts right before AEW started moving the gears towards DoN and a TV plan. I doubt we'll see many falloffs until like 2021 besides like, Luke Harper at the end of the year.

Revival did not actually re-up. Their deal comes due in 2nd quarter 2020 after WWE enacted extensions from the time they both missed due to injuries.

Fightful has a list of known contract expiration dates coming up.

https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/exclusives/confirmed-wrestling-contract-expirations-wwe-njpw-roh-gfw-lu

It's worth noting that Shinsuke has already said in an interview he's likely gonna sign a new deal (I think he mentioned that he's really comfortable right now, and doesn't want to uproot his family again). Rhyno isn't coming back supposedly.

Rhyno wants to wrestle for 8 more years and knows he isn't getting time to do that currently even there, he's gone around this time next month

The only part of WWE I actively watch these days is NXT, to be honest. During RAW I'll be playing video games on either a nearby laptop or the switch with RAW on as background noise. And SDL I'll be doing the same, except I'll be paying attention a little bit more.

As for pure speculation on when some contracts are up, I imagine unless they signed her to a new deal when she moved to the main roster, Kairi Sane's deal will probably be up next year considering she signed back in 2017. I think I remember Kenny saying on some sort of panel that he would love to grab her for AEW's roster if they get the chance.

I used to bring it up on my second monitor for collage screengrabbing while I played games, but now I'm so far checked out that my most has been glancing for like 20 minutes when Firefly Funhouse comes on

Critical Role's really usurped the spot since they do their vod uploads on Mondays, too.

I mean I have no idea either, but I imagine she can't be too thrilled right now considering she hasn't been on TV in over a month. Like I said before, the way they wrote her off of NXT was loving stupid and if they hadn't done it with the stipulation that she could never challenge for the NXT Women's Championship again if she lost against Shayna, I would be hoping she would go back to NXT.

When is Asuka freed? Her and Kairi would be a huge win for AEW’s Women’s Division.

Also Cesaro wasn’t on that list... I’d love to see him anywhere but WWE
