Don't think the 42k that attended Nitro that night has been beaten for a TV show?
I think that was nitro's 2nd highest ever attendance after the Goldberg Hogan one 6 months before. Both in atlanta. Not sure if they were both bigger than Saturday night RAW from the Skydome?
I'm all seriousness if I had booking Brock I would have made a over arching title and had him as the champion for years. Book him like a heavy weight boxer.
He's been a baby-face against Reigns, they should have been building up that even more, have Reigns cheat to win, get the Bloodline involved, stretch it through Royal Rumble, maybe even Wrestlemania, make it a feud for the ages, culminating in a Marquee match at Summerslam or Survivor Series. Reigns being out of Day 1 should have just delayed the process by a month, send him out there and destroy The Usos in a handicap match, just chucking them around, give them a reason to get involved in future matches
Have a feeling that Lesnar could lose the title at the Rumble - maybe via some sort of Roman Reigns interference - in order to bring that match back.
Don’t think they will drop that angle that easily. But then again, it’s WWE who have a history of being incapable of running with storylines that have any promise.
Would recommend the interview Scotty 2 Hotty did on Chris Van Vliet’s podcast this week. He was working at the performance centre for quite a few years up until recently.
Was interesting to hear him talk about how he and Brian Christopher were never that close outside the ring. They were purely a TV duo, but very little relationship other than that until their later years before Christopher’s death.
WWE cutting William Regal is one of the craziest decisions in all their crazy cutting decisions recently.
The guy basically created The Four Horsewomen of WWE, gave people like Gargano, Ciampa, Samoa Joe, Finn Balor, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens and a whole load more a chance to shine and showcase their talents to a greater audience. Not to mention the fact that I have never seen a bad word spoken about him.

Tony Khan could do a lot worse than pick him up, depends how well he gets on with Cody I guess but he would be a massive asset to AEW
AEW desperately need agents that are as good as their top talents to produce the "other segments", more than they need in ring guys. WWE have just handed them them.
Really looking foward to watching last night's show. I did notice that FTR beat to local job guys on evolution 😳
With the amount of talent swimming around right now, recently cut or not getting any screen time in WWE and AEW, ROH on a hiatus, now would be the perfect time for someone like Impact to step their product back up and get some serious investment behind them with a proper TV deal, but I don't think it will happen

There's definitely enough talent available for a 3rd promotion to thrive, but they'd need financial backing & I don't think Impact will get it

Someone needs to find away for guys to earn a living by not being on TV or YouTube. It's been a problem for 20 years now.
AEW has benifited from Omega, Jerricho, Moxley and a lesser extent Page being off TV then coming back even if it is a case of when not if.

But not that belt, at this time.

Also Reigns v Lesnar was probably fued of the year 2020. 😕
Paul Hyman was the feud of the year, those two were just his props :-)

Edit: And Regal!

Seriously need a 3rd promotion.
