Word is Rousey will be finishing up with WWE after Mania. That would be a shame. She's been great.

Hmm...
@FanSidedDDT

Contrary to reports of her impending departure, @ryansatin of @WrestlingSheet is reporting Ronda Rousey will only be taking a break from WWE, if even that, and not leaving the company entirely. We'll have an article on the full situation soon.

Dirt sheets lol.

A break would be good. I wish every wrestler was forced to take a few months break every year. It would go a long way for keeping the characters fresh and the wrestlers refreshed.

Anyone see the new WOW wrestling? Same guy that created GLOW. So many old school racist stereotypes like the WWF used to have. Caged Heat with a black and Hispanic women, both in orange jumpsuits. Some southern woman that wants to build a wall vs. a Mexican woman.

Airs after New Japan on Friday night on AXS TV.

I realized that I had actually been paying for WWE Network since Wrestlemania...thought I had canceled it. Hmm. I'll be watching tonight, this is my favorite PPV even though there have been some real stinkers lately.

Has anyone read much about AEW Wrestling? It was started this year by the billionaires that own the Jaguars. That alone makes it interesting, as there is a ton of money behind it.

The Elite are behind it. It should be awesome but not a real threat to WWE’s numbers. The only threat may be that talent now have another option.

Heard on a podcast this weekend that she's under contract through 2020. Think she wants to have a kid.

Had it in my queue to record. Got through about 30 minutes of episode 1, deleted the episode and removed the record queue.

I realized last night I have WWEn on this android box that I'm using. Otherwise I may have tried to find a stream for tonight. The only 2 PPVs that I have any interest in are the Rumble and Wrestlemania.

Supposedly there are some decent names heading to AEW. Jericho is already signed. Cody Rhodes has some high up title in the company. I thought I read that Neville ended up signing there a few weeks ago. There's a rumor that Kenny Omega is heading there. His contract is up at the end of January and AEW's next big conference is in the first week of February.

We are going to be starting closer to 8 because our daughter has to go to bed. Can you start from the beginning? I'm afraid they are going to open with the women's rumble

Normally yes. Sometimes it’s a bit funky and force live regardless but it will give you the option to watch from the beginning.

Also I love that there isn’t a stage/tron. I miss big events feeling different than Raw.

That being said she is way better in the ring than I expected this early on in her career.
