Figured it would be good to get a thread up in case it alerts any people who aren't aware that this show is on a Saturday. Here's the card:

I really don't want to live in a world where a team is actually named "RK-Bro," but Reigns-Cena seems must-see if nothing else.

Is Cesaro hurt? Seemed like he had a good push going, so I'd hate to think that he's just fallen off the PPV ranks entirely again.

In for the Oldberg lulz. It's amazing to me that there is anyone that unironically wants to see this guy (maybe there isn't). His whole shtick was just being an unbeatable phyiscal specimen. Seems like possibly the nut low gimmick for a 54 year old guy.

With the Cock now available on Amazon Fire, I was debating getting the network for this and NXT, but there is just nothing about WWE that I want to financially support right now. They've released anyone interesting and from what I've been reading, they're looking to restructure the only wrestling show I have any interest in over the last year (NXT).

None of that (Drew vs Jindar??) makes me care enough to change my mind at this point. Maybe by the time the Rumble comes around. Good luck getting through this for all who are watching.

FWIW, if you've never subscribed to Peacock before, I'm sure there's still a free trial that wouldn't involve financially supporting anyone.

Hmm...now I wonder who even gets the subscription money. Does any of it even go to Vince anymore?

I don't know what their whole arrangement is, though I'm quite confident that NBC doesn't have a bunch of beacons of good morals and ethics at the top of the food chain either. If you want to purity-test your money outflow while also patronizing big corporations, I can't imagine you'll basically ever like the result.

Sucks, but I've just sort of felt forced to accept it.

Sure, but it's not as much morality as I'm no longer entertained by the product. If it were morality, I would have cancelled when they had the middle east incident, but then, like you said, in order not to be hypocritical, I'd have to cancel most other things in my life too.

Maybe I'll tune in here and there, but I can't really see anything besides Roman/Cena and Bianca/Sasha that interests me in the slightest.

At least this won't drag on, as they have a hard out at 11pm ET/8pm PT due to the Pacquiao fight

I'm in.

Also, most Comcast subscribers can get Peacock for free even if you're an internet-only Comcast subscriber.

I love that basically no matter what happens on the show the main news is still gonna be CM Punk coming out in street clothes and talking for 10 minutes on AEW.

Which I thought was awesome, so not hatin'.

So the RK-Bro thing really wasn't just a troll on Wikipedia.

"7 titles on the line!"

...wtf. I can't believe they have seven (seven!) different titles.

That's another reason I find it hard to get into modern WWE on any level beyond "it's on and I have nothing going planned, so I guess I'll watch."

A lot more covid masks in the crowd than I would have expected. Nice.

I believe masks are currently required at indoor shows in Vegas.

I was mostly getting snacks and making drinks, but the opening match tag championship was fine.

I think I'm in the minority, but I like Matt Riddle.

Riddle is nails on chalkboard, but I liked the opener well enough.

Alexa Bliss vs Eva Marie.

F word all of that. Total trash.

------

AC Slater and Goldberg on the same show. Never would have guessed. That beats CM Punk, right?

Sheamus is obviously a perfectly talented guy, but I can only ever get engaged in one of his matches if I give a damn about someone else in it.

Agree. When I see his name on a match I know it's going to be completely competent but that I will have no interest in.

IMO Rey and his kid are the cringiest things going in pro wrestling.

Huge anti-fan of them both.

These two announcers and this match is too much. Nut low material for me.

But the crowd seems into it, so that's good, I guess.
