I of course don’t buy a second of it being swept under the rug, nor anything besides Seth being the weakest locker room leader ever
There was a meeting at about 3 p.m. today at NYCB Live with Vince McMahon and the Raw crew. We don't have details of what transpired at this time but these are some things we've been told. The company blamed talent speculation for causing a problem, the talent was told the flight issues were all mechanical and nothing more would ever be spoken about it, and Seth Rollins attempted to do a rah-rah speech while telling people to keep things like this off social media in the future.

IWGP champ vs IC champ in a double title match
IWGP runner-up vs IC runner-up

Or, and hear me out here, he loses on the first night of WK, loses on the second night to the IWGP runner-up, and then on New Year's Dash new Jr champ Hiromu kicks him out of LIJ and makes Red Daryl the new leader
ed: After a listen on his return and a listen at this presser I can safely say I don't like Hiromu's new entrance theme remix

My understanding (via hearsay, admittedly) is that the deal was for one show per year, but WWE has been doing two, and now it's an officially, contractually obligated two per year.
Also... nothing on Raw here? Not as good as Smackdown was, I guess?
Like Mega Man Legends? Then check out my story, Legends of the Halcyon Era - An Adventure in the World of Mega Man Legends on TMMN and AO3!

I might be wrong, but I remember Meltzer reporting that the deal was for two shows a year back when it started.

There were a few good moments I saw (Rey and Brock, Shayna and Becky cutting good promos on each other).
Aside from those moments mentioned above, it was pretty boring. Removing Dio from commentary early (Brock F5'ed him through the announce table) radically increased the amount of Jerry Lawler we had to hear, which was terrible. Half the show being built around the Last Temptation of Seth Rollins only really served to raise the specter of Steve Austin joining "WCW" during that invasion storyline.
RAW seemed to be built around keeping Rollins at the top regarldess of if that is the best thing to do. Any match he is involved in with an NXT star expect him to win. Last week Bryan and Cole had a top-tier match without interference, this week Cole needed help, it's stupid. It's definitely making him the hero of RAW, especially when it continued to lump the CrownJewel 5x5 teams in with each other.
The triple threat women's match looks good, but Bayley is only in that match to eat the pin and that's not what her character needs.

Agreed. It was a well cut promo for Shayna and Becky, but both of them saying "I'll keep an eye on Bayley, but you're the prime target" is writing on the wall.
I kind of wish Bayley could have been there to wave her hands like "hey, I'm right here..."

All I saw was a giant sign post reading "Bayley is going to get the surprise win sneakily and then gloat about it for weeks."
It will make me sound like I walk around with a tinfoil hat, but I believe Orlando has a large slavery/trafficking issue and the media doesn’t like to talk about it much.
That article is super sad if true. I hope the family gets the information they need.

Blood money is good shit, pal.
Which actually isn’t even news because that was the original planned year the deal was always to go through
This is just to make it look like there are no issues. As was the talent meeting today https://old.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/drnuag/notes_from_raw_talent_meeting/

I don't know, I kinda prefer Chuck Taylor, he's probably the best wrestler in the world and in much better shape than Tyler Black.

Better than the Fiend/Brock/Cole triple threat we thought we were getting, probably.

Fuck me, I have to go to 4
Edit: he fought fletcher in the opener because he had a train to catch and then cut a promo saying he was going to nationalise the train service
Double edit:
I'm beginning to think Jericho might have specific political beliefs instead of bringing on podcast guests 'to get different perspectives'
pleasepaypreacher.net
Good luck, it happens tomorrow night.
I've, pretty stupidly, continued to love Jericho and look past his bullshit but that's just too fucking much on any level
God this sucks
