Not a rumor, but Alvarez stated that Daniel Bryan actually caught shit from Vegans for carrying around a belt made of leather, so the actual change was a shoot lol

Meltzer thinks Hideo Itami is going back to NOAH
They have new owners with deep pockets
He said WWE granted his release early & thinks they wouldn't do that if they were going to legit competition

I was pretty sure he wasn't vegan anymore and in my search I found the actual story where he was catching shit from vegans about the leather belt. The interview was from May of last year, so it looks like this cardboard belt, or whatever the fuck it is, is a hilarious work.

Rumors of Starrcast, but not from anybody that would know
seems like timing

he could be doing this so WWE locks him in with a huge non wrestling deal

Yeah. Most likely to up that Saudi Money. They're making a killing off the Saudi deal and the Saudis love them some Undertaker.

Yep

Here is some interesting info:

SD was under 2m this week.
Now Fox is saying that SD might not stay on fridays

buyers remorse?

Also ...

Didn’t they just break records financially again?

Yes
The Saudi Deal was a big reason.
House show, merch & network were all down

Next year will be even bigger because of the new TV deals being a full year

I read that without the Saudi deal, they would've been in trouble a bit. Not sure.
In trouble?
nah

but to give you an idea
In 2017 WWE had about $800m in rev & made under $40m profit.

WWE has never made $100m profit
They would have the year of the XFL, but that was WWE financed & killed their profit

But moving forward even with business down everywhere else, they are very stable just by TV & Saudi Arabia

HHH found out what it is like to be messed up by Vince.
Vince made the decision to bring up the NXT 4 & have DIY as faces even though they are still in NXT & heels

First casuality of AEW

Arn Anderson was announced for Starrcast & was let go by WWE

Of course they are not related ... right ;)
