It's been a while since we had a TK announcement, but I feel like the IWC is at its best when we are speculating and not trying to tear each other down. So let's all put down
Something you think the announcement is
Something you HOPE it is
Something you HOPE it isn't.
I'll go first!
I think the announcement is
Mercedes signing
I HOPE the announcement is
A streaming deal on Max (I hate the TNT/TBS apps)
I hope it's not
A PPV in April (there's no need for it, let the fall out of Revolution be a factor in the storylines until Double or Nothing)
Sometimes there's a performer that just adds a little something to a standard move that takes it from a regular move to something that could be a finisher..
Like Athena, I've been catching up on Final Battle and God damn her shotgun drop kick looks like the most vicious and impactful run of the mill move out there right now. I don't know if it's just her frame and the way she looks when she bends her legs in or if she's just had great camera angles but ever since she went with this aggressive heel angle it's been one of the nastiest looking moves on TV.
Who has or had a move like that for you?
Rampage has become the "C" show and RoH is "developmental" that's only available on a streaming app.
With the TV/Streaming deal coming up in 2024 it makes perfect sense to merge these two, and brand it as a 2 hour show. I feel like the biggest issue with RoH is that it's AEW...but not. So you see some people show up, but if you want to follow them you need a subscription. A streaming app for a single weekly TV show with a subscription can be a hard pill to swallow for a lot of people, especially considering RoH doesn't have that type of presence.
Keep the titles as RoH, find a way to keep the name and preserve the history, but take all the good from RoH and Rampage I think you could have a banger of a 2 hour show. Follow the early NXT/Takeover playbook and you could have a killer developmental show that isn't the "C" show, but the chance to catch the up and coming talent and the beginning of feuds that could last years across all three shows over time.
So TK being TK we have a super hyped signing coming up on Saturday. We know it's not Kota since he just signed. I was originally thinking it's gotta be Osprey but with Rousey getting attacked with the ROH title.... I'm starting to think it's her. What do you guys think?
Osprey? Mercedes? Rhonda? Someone else?
Is Copeland it? Don't get me wrong I'm psyched for him especially with the vacuum that No Chill Phil created.
That being said I was expecting
Some NJPW related announcement
Or
A streaming announcement
Or
An updated PPV schedule
I'm really hoping they announce something to kick off the 4 year dynamite anniversary tonight. It's refreshing not having a "Tony Kahn has a huge announcement" every few weeks but this "New Era" talk prior to wrestledream is pretty mid.

I feel like it's looking rougher by the day. I was catching up on collision and that GTS on Joe was trash, and I feel like this has been the case for the entirety of his return. It just looks really bad, I have a friend coming over he doesn't watch wrestling but with as big an event as this is he is going to come by and check it out and I feel like I'm going to have to explain what was supposed to happen should Punk "hit" the GTS.
Have finally won me over, I don't know if it was because he was defying Jericho or if it was just a great response to the chops but something happened last night and I think we all got to witness that stupid dance getting over. Hopefully Garcia will continue to climb the ladder.
If you watched Dynamite last week you saw the sign, even the camera man knows what's up so my question to all of you is how would you fix it.
TK gives you the reigns and says he wants a women's division that could headline next year's All Out.
You can sign any free agents, use ROH talent, book anymatch or angle you want, but you have to have a great division in one years time.
(I'll post my own thoughts later today)
