Cool...but looks a bit too much like a boob flash to me.

Flair seems to be happy about it

What's everyone's thoughts on WWE Network moving to Peacock? I think it's great. I subscribe to WWE Network but frankly, don't use it too much. Mostly watch docs and random matches from the 90's. The only live events I watch are Royal Rumble and WrestleMania. I want Peacock just for The Office, but don't want to pay for that, WWE, and Netflix. But I'd definitely subscribe to Peacock if it doubled with WWE. 

I pretty much only watch it for the PPV's and some of the documents. Peacock is free (least on Roku it is). Isn't it moving there next month?

Peacock is free but if you want to access more shows you have to pay.

Paul Wight is All Elite. And Sting is medically cleared to wrestle

I haven't really watched AEW but it sure sounds a lot like WCW with aging, former WWE stars being the draw. Jericho, Moxley (who isn't that old), and now Sting and Big Show. The difference is those four guys aren't exactly Hogan, Savage, Hall and Nash as far as drawing interest. And I don't know much about their undercard guys, but I'll wager a guess they're not quite Guerrero, DDP, Benoit, Booker T, young Jericho, etc.

Younger guys like Freshly Squeezed, Jungle boy, Kip Sabian, MJF and Darby Allin are all young guys whom are fun to watch.

Yeah I'm sure there's a lot of good guys. I just don't really watch wrestling shows anymore (other than Royal Rumble and WrestleMania). But I do still follow various going-ons via the internet and social media.

I did watch the first episode of AEW  though and really liked a tag match between Private Party and The Young Bucks.

Looks like AEW will win the rating war tonight with Paul Wight debuting tonight. I'll still watch NXT and then "DVR" AEW.

Heard NXT is moving to Tuesday nights after Wrestlemania.

Dynamite was pretty good last night. Shaq didn't look too bad as a wrestler.

Who's the surprise signing going to be?

Hearing could be just about anyone. Mark Henry or Christian would be the top possibilities I would guess. Who do you think?

should be a decent PPV on Sunday but I don’t think I’ll order it if it’s like $50. Maybe if it was like $30

igotid88

I don't know? Punk would be big. But I doubt it. Maybe Thea Trinidad?

Congratulations Molly Holly

I watched AEW for the first time in a while.  Boy have things changed.

Glad to see MJF on top of things.  

Darby Allin TNT Champ?

I watched NXT first then AEW afterwards. The ending to AEW was very shocking. Don't think anyone saw that coming. Thought something was kinda off when Wardlow wasn't;t therefor the inner circle meeting. Looks like they are face now? Yeah Darby Allin has been TNT champ for a few months now. him and Sting teamed up on Sunday at the PPV.

NXT was pretty solid with Finn Balor vs Adam Cole in the main event.

Eric Bischoff is the latest inductee to the WWE HoF. Kinda surprising since last few times i saw him he was on AEW television.

Speaking of AEW that main event on Dynamite last night was pretty awesome I must say between Thunder Rosa and Britt Baker. the thumbtack spot gave me the heebee jeebees.  Ouch!

So people with the WWE network, like myself, will they just disconnect the network all together? Also will they refund  everyone’s money that pays monthly?

Not too bad of a PPV last night. The last 3 matches were pretty solid (minus Orton/Bliss). And the Fiend returning was cool.

I wonder if that was Bray. I'm not saying they're doing a fake Fiend like the fake Undertaker. But that could have been anybody under that costume. Just like they had different Doink the Clowns

Maybe it was his brother Bo?
