I don't think Miro ends up back in WWE. He was a bit of a malcontent at the end of his WWE run, and WWE wasn't happy with him. Plus I don't think that he would fit into NXT. I think his best fit would be in TNA.
I think Black will be back to NXT, but the question for him is going to be around how committed is he really to a wrestling future.

FTR has been headlining shows regularly. The whole “TK is Vince” stuff is kinda tiresome. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t scenarios. From what I heard, Ricky asked for his release but the company decided to not just grant releases outright, as others took advantage of that in the past. Either way, exciting stuff to see some movement. Does Miro come back? I know Malakai Black will be and his situation seemed to be handled a bit better to be fair.
FTR have been relegated to Bucks fodder or sidekicks. They're currently Curt Hawkins and Matt Cardona for a 50+ year old guy returning from injury. This is like saying Patterson and Brisco got to headline while being the stooges during the Corporation era.
I'm sorry your favourite billionaire isn't better than your least favourite billionaire.
Miro is apparently done. No interest in wrestling going forward. With how fast Starks turned up on NXT, I won't be shocked if someone gets their head caved in on Smackdown.
I guess I'll be waiting to see what the single seats are like for RAW, Smackdown, and NXT in Vegas.
I signed up for the presale for the combo but didn't recieve my code until a half an hour later. I did see the code on WWE's Facebook page about 10 minutes after the sale started but by the time I got in the close seats were gone and the ones left on the floor are 3 grand CDN.
I remember the same thing happened for SummerSlam 2019 only they announced it at a house show in Toronto.
Single tickets might work out better too. In Toronto I was on the floor for NXT and RAW but in different areas and in the crowd for Smackdown but maybe row 10.
It would suck to get a seat you don't really care for but have to deal with with for two more shows. That's what I'm stressing out a little about WrestleMania. I think I have a good spot on the floor but I won't know until I get there. I was going for the risers at first but the ticket on the floor was the same price.

Maybe I am jaded, but in my opinion your tickets to a wrestling show are only as good as your view of the big screen.

How far back on the Floor are you?
I sat on the Floor in about row 20 for Royal Rumble in Arizona. It was okay but not always the greatest views.
It didn't help that it was one of the first years they did the Royal Rumble set as coming out of the baseball dugout - so we couldn't see the entrance at all from where we were sitting and had to watch it on the screen.
The ring itself had okay views but still catch yourself watching on the big screen a lot.

The red dot is where I was going to sit for the same price but changed my mind.
Going back to the other events during WrestleMania week I found a seat in row 10 behind the commentary desk but that averages out to $766 CDN a show. I can do it if I want to but I was hoping they wouldn't be that much. That stupid Vegas fee made it more expensive than it should have been too. I paid more for Survivor Series but that was a PLE.

If you think they’re Patterson and Brisco or Cardona/Hawkins that’s just a bad take, we just don’t agree on things. TK isn’t Vince dude, that was all I was saying; FTR isn’t jumping on their butts after a shower here. They run through different teams like any promotion does. You’re insufferable sometimes.
I don't know what to tell you, man. You wear very rose coloured glasses where Tony Khan and AEW are concerned and I just don't share that rosy-outlook.
1. I know a lot of you think I hate AEW, not really true, I think right now the AEW product is not good, and its disconnected from its fan base, and Tony is not the guy to run the day to day operations of a wrestling company unless he gets good non in ring workers as advisors.
2. I think its clear that I am a huge fan of woman's wrestling. Just because of where its come from in all three companies in a short period of time. Its exciting to watch.
Harley Cameron is going to be the next big thing. She's extremely charismatic, she's great with the character stuff. At one point Alexa Bliss was the queen of characters and mic work. Cameron is going to blow past that level. If Harley Cameron can really improve her ring work. She's going to be generational. She's got the look, she's extremely charismatic, she's almost must watch to see what she's going to do. And her latest video promo is text book and amazing
They need to put a test belt on her and make her the hunted instead of the hunter just to see if she can pull it off.

My ticket to Survivor Series was pretty good. I saw everything other than what was happening outside of the ring on the other side.
My friend had Bantrel seats back in the day, would get those for wrestling all the time. 4 rows up is better than floor seats unless you're really close. Those look great!

She's fantastic. Loved this promo for her. Blows past the typical "funny wrestler" where she keeps that side of things for her, but she's growing exponentially. Always been a big fan of hers, even during the questionable QTV stuff (which admittedly had a few interesting bits, but mostly her stuff going for it) and seeing her build this feud with Mone has been awesome for both of them. Dynamite and Collision have really been great since January, and they've even fit the Death Riders in more organically than before. I hope she pulls off an upset on Saturday; either way she'll be elevating her game in Australia for that show. She's also a perfect fit for AEW, with Mariah, Mone, Toni, Statlander, Willow, etc. leading the charge. They have a really solid women's division now.
On a side note, absolutely love anyone who was in Stardom. Giulia, Mariah, Mina and the list goes on. Reminds me of Lucha Underground, which had such an elevated workstyle and the character work is less of the black and white stuff we see from time to time.

She showed some flashes with QTV too but really nobody is getting over when paired with QT Marshall. In the fued with Acclaimed specifically she had some stand out moments.
Hopefully the do put the belt on her. Mone is kind of stale with the TBS title and should probably be moving into the actual AEW Women's title mix with Storm and Mariah once their feud wraps up here.

I've got some good views on the floor without sitting in the first 5 rows but I try and get lower bowl now as often as I can.
The only reason I changed my mind and got floor tickets instead of riser seats for WrestleMania is I heard they're not much higher than being on the floor so I decided to just get floor as close to the ring and entrance without spending even more than I did.
I decided unless something shows up in the general sale tomorrow I'm holding off with getting a combo pack for WrestleMania week. I really want to try and get a seat on the side where the cameras are for SmackDown because of the Hall of Fame. RAW and NXT I would just try and get something on the other side. If they're selling everything for the combo pack and just using leftovers for the single seats then I'll just wait and see if something opens up closer to the shows. But if it's anything like Survivor Series they held off certain rows for the general sale.

Here's my problems with Mone, and it comes from a conversation I had a looong time ago with a Stampede Wrestler.
She absolutely tries to bury her opponents promo wise, she makes them sound like they are zero threat to her. It doesn't sell tickets. You can be arrogant in a promo, you can proclaim victory in a promo, but you have to find a way to put your opponent over or make them a threat in your promo.
Stone Cold was awesome at it. In his none drugged ahole stage Michaels was amazing at it. Bret for all his awkwardness was the best at making his opponent look like a real threat to him in his promos.
Mercedes doesn't make me excited about a matchup because she one sides her promos.

Going more on that, Harley did it perfectly, she put herself over with the I didn't know how to sing, or play guitar or wrestler, but I'm a quick learner. And calling Mone the best woman on the planet was awesome. I want to buy a ticket to see this fight.
You know though what would have made Harley's promo perfect. If she didn't throw in her catchphrase at the end. She should have ended with the I want to drvie the Mone train. It would have been the perfect promo.
