PAT'S DISCOUNT TICKETS, WWE AND TNA PUSHING FANS TO THE ARMS OF AEW? AND MORE

If Pat McAfee is a heel, why is giving fans discount Wrestlemania tickets?

I've got nothing.  It doesn't make any sense at all.

Why would I as a fan want to see what he did and then pay to see Randy Orton?

Well, you might want to pay to see Cody Rhodes kick his ass, but if you really did, you'd be happy to do so at whatever the price was, right?  

Between TNA pulling talents and this insipid Cody stuff, does these companies know they are pushing fans into the arms of Tony Khan?

You would think on the surface that is what would happen, but my feeling is that if a fan gets turned off by one company, they start watching altogether.  WCW fans didn't migrate to WWE.  I know lots of ECW fans who stopped watching when that company went away.  If you break the fan interest, they don't then automatically take up for another company.

This Pat Mac story is just dumb dumb dumb. Way worse than the Travis Scott stuff and I didn't think that was possible. Please tell me the mystery higher-up isn't leading to the Rock coming back and essentially saying "Mania is my personal playground every year, f**k you all if you don't like it."  Oh God, that's exactly where this is going...?

It certainly could be the direction if WWE wants it to be.  He is the FINAL BOSS, after all!

Now that Mercedes has dropped her last championship, I have to ask. Who actually benefited from her Ultimo Monet gimmick? Did the companies involved get any extra promotion? Did anyone outside of Mercedes herself get over from it in the long run? 

The indy companies that got to have an extra draw on their shows when she appeared.  In Poland, for example, it was the biggest show in the history of that company.  It was more or less a positive in my eyes.

What do you use to watch TNA PPVs now that they are off Triller?
