You've got your main roster, of course, with, with, uh, Raw and SmackDown, and then you've got NXT, and then you have Evolve, and then below Evolve you have the, the, the ID wrestlers who have, who are technically under WWE contract but are permitted to...

They're free to go book themselves and work indies while they have this ID deal.

Kind of just locks them into the WWE ecosystem, right? But who has really emerged out of that even to get past the Evolve level? I mean, you really have-

Very few.

So you got Cartwheel, uh, working Major League Wrestling in Triple A. You've got Swipe Right in NXT.

You've got Aaron Rourke, who's possibly about to be in NXT.

And then you have a bunch of people who either haven't gotten past Evolve or still work in the ID program and just doin' indies.

You know? And I, and I even look at Rourke now as I pull up, uh, Rourke's cage match.

We'll still see what happens there.

The rumor and innuendo from Brandon Thurston and John Pollock this week was that WrestleMania will be April 10th and 11th.

So plan your calendar accordingly, everyone.

I don't know if we're going to get that announcement yet, but... plan accordingly i imagine they're probably trying to hold off on announcing when it is going to be as long as they possibly can

You've got your main roster, of course, with, with, uh, Raw and SmackDown, and then you've got NXT, and then you have Evolve, and then below Evolve you have the, the, the ID wrestlers who have, who are technically under WWE contract but are permitted to...

Very few.

I forgot about Cartwheel.

So you got Cartwheel, uh, working Major League Wrestling in Triple A. You've got Swipe Right in NXT.

You've got Aaron Rourke, who's possibly about to be in NXT, and then you have a bunch of people who either haven't gotten past Evolve or are still working the ID program and just doing indies.

You know? And, and I even look at Rourke now as I pull up, uh, Rourke's cage match.

Because a great trip starts with peace of mind, and maybe a good playlist, but we've got the peace of mind part covered.

Brandon Thurston from Wrestlenomics is up next, and we're gonna follow Brandon with John Pollock from Post Wrestling.

Delivering on the returns, increasing our margins.

All I do is simply put the math in my favor.

But that is, that is the, uh, the line of the night.

I love working for Sky Dance

So I guess now, Brandon, we simply sit back and we wait.

I think this company, it's going to look completely differently, uh, different a year from now.

I don't know if you've been following this, Micah, but the ratings are in, and let me just hit you with this real quick.

This comes from, uh, Brandon Thurston.

And, uh, NXT, uh, did 523,000 viewers, Micah, for Tuesday, and Dynamite did 495,000 viewers.

So Micah, is this a big deal, medium deal, small deal? Do you hold any weight to these head-to-head numbers right here?

[laughs]

Uh, so this is from Brandon Thurston.

The third.

[laughs]

... wrestling commentator.

It can't be his name, can it?

Brandon Thurston?

I mean, it sounds like it's, like, Lovey, you know, from fucking Gilligan's Island.

Yeah, and then under drew a bit.

And now we got Brandon Thurston reporting April 10th and 11th, I believe, is the circle date for WrestleMania.

Is that correct?

Yes.

Uh, Brandon Thurston and John Pollock a few weeks ago on their show had said that April 10th and 11th seem to be the planned WrestleMania dates in Saudi.

So, um, it is, it i- Yeah.

Uh, but listen, guys.
