Randy's back injury is serious and might need surgery. We don't get to see him throughout the year. This is devastating. What caused this though?

Pro-wrestling.

they are other MMA companies out there. Lack of proper competition just stresses how good the UFC is. Pu7pl3, mark my words, if WWE doesn't go sports based, they'll either fizzle out or be sold. But I guess right now Vince has other issues, especially relating to affairs(not business ones ) and Randy is injured alongside Cody. Na now Roman go turn partimer. Things aren't going on well in the sports entertainment camp.
Still, knowing Vince, that issue might not even make him flinch.

In the span of a month..

Roman Reigns went part time.
Sasha Banks is all but out
Naomi gone
Cody injured for rest of 2022
Orton injured and might be out till 2023

Oh and Vince and Lauranitis are being investigated for a scandal.

We know he has been through worse and came out unscathed...him 50 cent and Kanye West are some of the most uncancelable personalities in the world.

Which other MMA companies are there?
We have seen how AEW and NJPW are combining forces to give WWE a run for their money. It's not the same for UFC.

so in essence(even though I didn't get lots of the talk cos I'm not a stock market expert) what you're saying is UFC is enjoying a temporary prosperity while WWE is going to catch-up and takeover in the future. If I'm correct that hypothesis still doesn't hold enough water. UFC's profit multiplies WWE's by 5. 5!!! And that's still with WWE having like I don't know, 20 to 30 years headstart in business. I might need to have a stock market expert break this down cos I don't see your point. They claimed 150,000 in 2 nights, other sources claimes it was 120,000. Regardless they don't do that every week or even every month and I'm not even talking about the empty seats on their weekly shows. Take Money In The Bank for example. These goofs, I call them goofs, really thought they could sellout a stadium with another lackluster card. They've turned their fans(not me) to jokes. They literally believe they'd pay for anything no matter how bad. I remember WWE PPV's 10 years ago, 20 years ago, it wasn't this ugly and now they even go to the extent of pipeing artificial sounds for fan reactions. I hope you guys eventually see that I don't hate the company or wrestling in general, I just want it to be better, to be enjoyable. Still on the tickets sales, there's also point for ticket prices and I'm still sure UFC's will be more expensive.

What I basically said there is that WWE had the lead over UFC in the past, that was around 2017-18 or so.
If WWE had the lead before they can take it again.
Also take into consideration that pro-wrestling now has variety companies which can divide/reduce
profit while UFC doesn't have any concrete competition in their realistic genre yet.

WWE NXT REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS

Sisters
I’m into Indi Hartwell’s story. She’s finding herself after losing her partner and her husband. She’s a woman without a country looking for a home base. She made her lot with Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade, but even with their support, she feels like a misfit on the island of misfit toys. No matter how many times Cora and Roxanne tell her otherwise, she believes she’s a third wheel. Wrestling works when there are relatable stories all humans recognize. It’s hard not empathizing with Indi. And it’s hard not laughing when she tells Roxanne and Cora to cherish their friendship and their love because NXT takes those things away from you! Well, I mean, if you leave those things in the NXT parking lot, that’s on you.
Toxic Attraction, still the bullies and searching for respect on their radioactive name, desired punishment for Cora, Roxanne, and Indi. Of course, they also have choice words for Indi, a woman they called the saddest person in the territory. Now you’re caught up on the prelude, let’s get to the main event.
The match started with the babyfaces taking control. They took so much control that Mandy called a timeout and huddled with her girls outside of the ring. I always feel the character stuff Mandy does with her matches. Whether it’s chicken heel stuff or just pretending she’s Phil Jackson with the troops. Whatever she said worked because the heels took control. But the match presented Roxanne as a threat. The second she tagged in and spared her best friend a beatdown, everything changed. The match broke down, Indi found her second wind, and Perez eventually got the pin on GiGi.
A solid match that put Roxanne in a great light while giving us some movement with Indi’s story.
NXT peaked early this week with the opening match. This is the closest the show got to matching that energy and skill level.

Sleeps with the Fishes
Tony D’Angelo wants Carmelo Hayes’ North American championship. He said as much during his promotional ceremony for Two Dimes and Stacks. The Family’s newest soldiers suggested softening up Carmelo before the champ defends his title against Tony D. Melo and Hayes, of course, agreed to a match because while Melo doesn’t call the shots, he does make all of the ones that count.
We got a tag match telling multiple stories. On one hand, there’s Tony’s soldiers beating up Melo. On the other, there’s LdF finding their way as a part of The Family and when that time bomb explodes. We got a taste of it during the ceremony when Santos Escobar begrudgingly took orders from his “boss.” As it relates to the first goal, Stacks and Two Dimes did none of that. Melo and Trick didn’t destroy them since they got some offense in, but it certainly wasn’t the type of punishment Tony had in mind. Trick took most of the offense, letting Melo play the background for most of the short match.
And that’s when we got to the match’s second objective. With Trick in control, LdF, on their new boss’ orders, ran interference. Of course, they messed up. A springboard attack came a little late as Trick moved and the goons fell victim to that communication breakdown.
Melo tags in, hits his finisher, and goes home happy.
Tony yelled at everyone post match then did more yelling at LdF in the locker room. Look for Santos and his boys to turn Tony’s championship dream into a nightmare next week.
I like the match. Nothing special at all, but all four men—especially Trick—showed out. And the story progression with Legado foreshadowing next week is a nice touch. Like a bomb in a Hitchcock movie, we all know the outcome even if we don’t know exactly when.

The Rest
Dangerous
So Duke Hudson got in Bron Breakker’s face this week, crowing about his “victory” over the champ. Bron said, “Cool, let’s do something about that, froggy. Leap.” He didn’t actually say that, but that’s basically what happened. The champ then made mincemeat of Hudson in no time. I don’t even think he got a punch in.
This led to Cameron Grimes stepping to the champ. He didn’t just challenge Bron to a championship match at Great American Bash; he detailed why. Everyone knows who Bron’s dad is but no one knows who his is. Which, on its face, is a weird beef to have. Grimes believes Bron is where he is partly because of his last name. Grimes walked a thin line where he called Bron entitled while also acknowledging Bron’s skill. I’m not sure if his logic completely works because one of those contradicts the other. Grimes’ emotion helped sell the idea of the match if not the logic he mapped out. Bottomline, he wants the championship and wants to go all the way to the moon.
Bron was happy to oblige.

Tag Team Breakout
Malik Blade and Edris Enofe needed this. The two wandered a bit aimlessly on NXT for several weeks. Until this week, they were the two cats lusting after Toxic Attraction and doing everything in their power to shoot several shots at Mandy Rose. The fact they gave the Creed Bros. quite the challenge in a tag team championship match is a boost and shows they’re more than comic relief.
Malik and Edris put the champs in jeopardy. Believable jeopardy, which is the most important part of a championship match. They created real drama through high flying offense and withstanding the Creeds’ brand of brutality. The match turned on one of those high risk maneuvers. Malik went to the top rope one too many times. He leapt from the turnbuckle right into Julius’ hands. Brutus makes the blind tag, and the Brothers Creed finish the match with a slam and a lariat.
I liked the ending where both teams shook hands and applauded each other. Later in the show, Cameron Grimes cornered them about their lack of hunger. Grimes basically said if they really wanted it, they’d be out here eating cereal with a fork. He doesn’t want them wasting their talent.
Curiouser and curiouser.

Speaking of Comic Relief...
A rematch between Fallon Henley and Tiffany Stratton caught my attention. But we only got a little bit of, admittedly, good action until Wendy Choo interfered. Choo sprayed confetti in Stratton’s face and that was apparently enough for Fallon to get the W with a roll up. I wanted more from this match after both women showed they can do the damn thing when given the time and space to do so.

Wes-Side Connection
Xyon Quinn took quite the L this week. Wes Lee surprised the big man again. Wes Lee is easy to root for but I’m not fully with another short match as a part of this story. Lee comes out with fire, Xyon takes over and dominates, Wes finds a second wind and catches the big man off guard. Wes’ top rope finisher is incredible though and demands your eyeballs immediately.

The Dyad
Joe Gacy’s Dyad wrestled two other guys while wearing their robes. This is stupid.

A Giovanni Debut
After WEEKS of teases, we finally got our look at Giovanni Vinci. A name clearly created from googling Italian sounding names. And it was a dominating win against Guru Raaj.
Like most matches on the show after the opening match, it was very quick and very just okay.

Before I get to the grade, I want to acknowledge the vignettes we got this week. Nathan Frazer, Lash Legend, and Nikkita Lyons all showed some personality and some backstory. And Lash’s segment even led to a match between her and Alba Fyre. Economical storytelling at its best while giving us insight into Lash’s background. On the flip side, we got a weird one with Apollo Crews, straight out of an old school action flick. Apollo, journaling in a diner—as you do—and dreaming about taking on a bully. He then takes on said bully and the camera cuts to black. Weird.
Anyway, this was an okay show. Outside of one insanely stupid moment, it was solid across the board, while setting up some big matches next week.

Grade: B

ValeeLove:
like you said boss, I gat it.

The first pic is for UFC, the second is WWE, and WWE has existed far longer before UFC. Isn't that wonderful?

You can also read this article to know why it's that way.
https://www.thesportster.com/ufc-mma-cooler-than-wwe-pro-wrestling/

Meanwhile UFC's next PPV main event is Adesanya vs Cornnonier. A legit sports event that will sell out T-Mobile arena come July 3, while Monday Night Raw's main event is a 'pose off' between a talented stud and a genetic freak. And yet you guys defend this stuff calling it entertainment. Time to speak the truth is now. We keep on saying junk is sweet, they'll keep on giving us junk.

WWE Market Cap Has Reached $7.54 Billion Before
We actually have some real-time figures on WWE stock value, but it comes with a rather large caveat. At the time of writing, WWE’s share price is $60.29 and has issued approximately 43 Million shares. Multiplying the share price by the exact shares issued returns a market cap of $2.6 Billion according to WWE’s corporate website and verified by Nasdaq.
Let’s explain why price doesn’t necessarily equal value. Technically anyone can go to a stock market exchange right now and start buying up WWE shares. However, in enough volume this will, you guessed it, sky rocket the value of the share price, which will positively impact the market cap. Also, good luck convincing Vince McMahon and the various equity groups with large holdings in the company to sell them for anything less than a premium. This is especially true when you consider the fact that in 2018, WWE’s market cap reached an
impressive $7.54 Billion.
WWE Leads the Way With Its Content Deals and Lifelong Fanbase
When considering WWE’s extensive collection of assets and potential for growth, various online outlets have estimated WWE’s value to be around the $5.71 Billion mark. But this does not factor in the additional bells and whistles that of value that would be added if a sale were to be seriously considered.
Remember, the UFC geared its events and marketing towards the peak of UFC 200 and it would be foolish to think WWE couldn’t do the same. Also, it’s no secret that Nick Khan is looking to optimise the balance sheet and take the company to new heights financially.
WWE just took over Dallas with an attendance of 156,352 fans at WrestleMania 38 and the company boasts a massive $1 Billion content deal with Peacock. Also, as well as having appeal to adults, WWE begins to cultivate it’s powerful fanbase from an extremely young age, more so than the UFC.
Is it that out of the question think that an investment group would be willing to pay a premium to acquire this active and powerful fanbase? To conclude, we believe that the much-speculated value of WWE at $5.71 Billion may actually be too low in the prospect of a sale. With the latest quarterly reports showing a 131% increase on year-on-year revenue and anticipation high awaiting the 2022 Q1 reports on May 5th, we believe this number has the potential to continue trending upwards.
Whilst many will argue that on paper the UFC is worth more than WWE, we will not be at all surprised if WWE could get very close to, if not even potentially surpass that magical $9 Billion valuation in the eyes of the right buyer.
To conclude, there is strong argument that the UFC is worth more right now, but all it takes is one look at WWE’s 2018 market cap to see that Vince McMahon’s empire has most likely been in the lead before. Whilst the UFC is enjoying financial prosperity, it will be no surprise if WWE valuation reaches another all-time high in the next few years.

That site you posted didn't even provide any numbers and sounded like a pained MMA fan writing an article.
If you put the biggest MMA star right now beside someone like The Miz or CM Punk the star power the wrestlers generate will dwarf anything the MMA guy can generate.
There is no MMA PPV (correct me if I'm wrong) that has ever surpassed the highest wrestlemania attendance so please don't compare them in that aspect.

Lol Mariano/Mayoral are shit but neither would play that much (maximum of 5 games) pre-World Cup. I feel Benzema would be healthy next season so no need for a serious backup like the Jovic case. If Nkunku comes then he can still fill as a ST too should Benzema get a lenghty injury.

Reason I don't mind a Mayoral/Mariano is that I feel this coming World Cup will produce some gems and stars that we might be interested in rather than bring in low quality options this summer (no much options for a ST in the market now).

I also appreciate your opinion on the Hazard matter. Thanks for your take.

That's a good reason but if that's the case then we can just stick with Mariano and then get someone after the world cup.
IMO tho I feel like this worldcup will only be about the usual suspects, I stand to be corrected tho.

Question for all thread members: Why are all madridstas more willing for Asensio to leave ahead of Hazard that was a bigger flop and earns more (he should be our highest earner currently)?

I expected Hazard to be loaned out or sold for a cheap price to an EPL club this summer but it seems he is gonna be staying again. It makes far better sense to extend Asensio and keep him as a backup RW (after getting a Nkunku, Diaby, Mahrez etc.) and bin off fat earning Hazard. Who else shares my opinion?

Vini and Rodrygo (backup) for LW
A new star signing and Asensio for RW
Maybe one of Brahim, Kubo, or Arribas as a fifth winger. Mayoral/Mariano as backup ST for Benzema. This attack is okay for our games before the upcoming world cup.

Bro I don't want another season of Mayoral or Mariano as backups for Benzema, I know there are no viable options now but I just don't want it.

As for Asensio I don't mind if he stays but I'd also don't mind if he leaves, I'm basically indifferent about it.
As for Hazard I think most fans just wants to see him succeed here even if it's for just 1 season.

Sometimes the writers for the movies make their own creative choices and leave out these things either to aid their story or for prideful reasons.
Sometimes it's also due to a lack of proper research in the character.

WWE RAW REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS

I Miss My Homies
AJ Styles is Cody Rhodes’ avenger. Not exactly the role I envisioned for the Phenomenal One, but tis the role he played this week. Before their Money in the Bank qualifying match, Seth Rollins explained himself. Last week’s violent choices towards Rhodes were about saving Cody from himself. Cody is a virus and that virus turned inward. The man declared himself suitable for Money in the Bank! Seth believes taking Cody out was the only option at that point.
AJ Styles bum rushed Rollins mid-cackle, saying that was for Cody. Prior in the match and later in the night, Seth dedicated the match, his win, and his future Money in the Bank victory to Cody.
Brilliant heel logic and a brilliant heel move.
And guess what? A brilliant match followed.
But before we even get there, I gotta point out the fact Seth and AJ got a one-on-one match with plenty of time for their Money in the Bank qualifier match while the women got a very short tag match. Yes, it’s Seth and AJ but still. That type of move speaks volumes.
But I digress. AJ and Seth told a tale of two evenly matched men with one who might be a little more cutthroat than the other. In the ultimate show of respect, they went for pins very early. AJ sought punishment on Cody’s behalf, but spending a lot of time in the ring with Seth wasn’t a part of the plan. Once that didn’t work, it was a fight. Seth wanted no parts of this AJ Styles; the one Edge wanted in the ring instead of the puppy dog. And AJ seems hellbent on proving everyone that he’s still that guy.
But he let his emotions get the better of him at least twice, resulting in sloppy pin attempts. That’s an interesting story beat and one worth exploring down the line. Is AJ so focused on proving everyone wrong that he loses control and focus? The first mistake was a nasty looking backbreaker that AJ waited just a tad too long to take advantage of, and then another where he pinned Seth way too close to the ropes.
AJ’s biggest mistake was missing the Phenomenal Forearm. Once he came down wrong and tweaked his knee, Seth pounced. And even a hobbled AJ isn’t quite enough to get the job done against Seth. Even if he’s doing it for Cody.
After trading blows and reversals in the third act, AJ positioned Seth for the Styles Clash. But that knee! AJ’s hesitation have Seth an opening for a block. AJ, still doing too much, sunset flipped over Seth but the former Messiah blocked AJ’s mat counter. And while Seth didn’t get both of AJ’s legs, he did get the one with the bad knee. Seth wrenched on that knee in his pin attempt, and now he’s going to Vegas.
Great match, great psychology, better story with so many stakes. Curious what happens to AJ now with Edge on the shelf, a loss to The Judgment Day, and now this. While I don’t love him suddenly doing things for Cody, I don’t hate it either.
Match of the night.

The Rest
Put Your Back into It
The Usos and The Street Profits tag team championship match might set a new bar. If Jimmy Uso and Montez Ford’s solo match is any indication, then yeah, they’ll be a tough act to follow. Besides the requisite high-flying moves and the tough talk from the Usos, we got ring psychology and the beginnings of an underdog story. Can the Profits really handle Jimmy and Jey? That’s the story, full stop. Jimmy hurt Montez’s back early with a suplex to the canvas and stayed on it like a pit bull. Worst of all, the lack of back mobility hurt Montez’s offense. And he overcompensated to prove something to himself.
That’s why a frog splash—with Jimmy practically on the others side of the ring—led to Ford’s downfall. The move itself might be the most impressive thing you’ll see all year, but he gave Jimmy just enough time to get those knees up in the air. With all the wind knocked out of him, especially from that distance, Tez took a 3-count.
Two-on-two, the Profits beat The Usos by count out. One-on-one, Jimmy dissected Montez. Can these cats compete? We shall see.

Judgment?
I’m not feeling the Judgment Day segment this week. Bianca Belair came to the ring for an interview and the newly-minted party interrupted her via the Titantron. Yup, it will always be the Titantron. Rhea Ripley, Damian Priest, and Finn Balor took turns...repeating what they said last week. Edge held them back. He told them to listen to him even though they signed up to take orders from no one. Which is contradictory since they kneeled before Edge—Superman would never—as part of joining the group! They knew what they signed up for. But like I said, we heard this already.
Rhea says Bianca’s problem is she cares about pleasing the fans. And that’s her downfall.
Not interesting, and a rerun to boot.

Burial Song
So WWE just dookied on the 24/7 championship this week. Which is a shame because they did a lot of work to make it an interesting title with an entertaining scene. Becky Lynch challenged Dana Brooke in a rematch from last week’s match. Becky turned into a buzzsaw as soon as the bell went ding. Becky took the beatdown outside of the ring, trapped Dana into the announce table, and did what Onyx did in 1993: Slammed.
According to Becky, this was never about Dana’s little championship. She can keep it. This is about the lack of respect shown Becky’s way etc. etc. you heard it all before. Becky wants an entry into the Women’s Money in the Bank match. As does the woman who showed up for a piece of Becky: Asuka.
I like Asuka and Becky keeping their beef going. Especially heading into a match where it’s possible both women let their personal hatred get in the way of the bigger picture.
Don’t like them shoveling dirt on that title tho. Bad form, WWE.

Prepare for Trouble...
WWE’s twitter used the Team Rocket motto when referencing Alexa Bliss and Liv Morgan. And I’m down for all of that. WWE’s Jesse and James tagged against Doudrop and Nikki A.S.H. The winning team qualifies for the Money in the Bank match.
Doudrop and Nikki still aren’t on the same page, therefore they lost. Alexa and Liv are going to Vegas! Make it double.

ELIAS RETURNS...
Next week. Not this one. Sorry. Elias beat Kevin Owens thanks to, of course, a count out. I say “of course” because KO is always distracted when commentary says “Ezekiel.” So much is his frustration that he pays more attention to them than the match and loses his cool.
So we got news from a victorious Zeke: He’s not done with KO, he wants a spot in the Money in the Bank match, and Elias is coming back for at least one night. Of course, this incensed KO but made me smile because I love Elias with all my heart.

Alas, Ciampa
I know, I know. The story here is Riddle’s upcoming match against Roman Reigns. If Riddle loses, he gets no more shots at Reigns. Grand opening, grand closing. Paul Heyman delivered the news on Miz TV this week, and of course Miz happily instigated. So when Miz showed up on commentary for Riddle’s match this week, I expected it. What I didn’t expect was Riddle’s opponent: Ciampa.
Ciampa went from the heart of NXT to just another guy on Raw. It’s disheartening and hard to watch. Especially when his entranced isn’t televised.
So, yeah, Riddle beat Ciampa much to Miz’s chagrin. And mine.

Alpha and Omega
Chad Gable and Mustafa Ali gave us an okay bout for the time allotted. They’re good wrestlers so that comes as no surprise, although giving them more time might give us something memorable.
It’s tough seeing Ali take Ls week after week, but here we are. Chad got the W with a little help from his friend. The Beatles approve. But I do not.

Veer Keeps Coming
It wasn’t a quick victory, but Veer defeated Rey Mysterio when the legend quickly tapped to the big man’s submission hold. Yup, that was a thing that happened.

We’re Still Doing This...
Cedric Alexander is still a joke. MVP, a man who barely wrestles these days, beat Cedric, a man who at least wrestles more than MVP, in the middle of the ring. Clean. The most interference we got from Omos was just him intimidating Cedric. That’s it.
Sigh. At least it was quick.

This is the Main Event?
Bobby Lashley. Theory. Pose Down. That’s your main event, ladies and gents. Lashley won, Theory sprayed him with baby oil.

Yup.

Raw was rolling for two hours. But it’s almost as if they put all the dopeness up top realizing game five of the NBA Finals might be a bigger deal. After Seth and AJ, the show quality noticeably dropped. If not off a cliff, it at least fell of a big hill. The main event was a pose down, the Raw Women’s champion segment was flat, and the guy involved in the Undisputed Universal championship match wrestled someone who WWE tells its tv audience doesn’t matter. Imagine if this show was only two hours.

Throwback to when this barka dog mocked Vini in the last ElClasico lol

Vini went on to win the la liga, contributed to 41 g+a, scored in the Ucl finals and won the Ucl. Most Definitely, Vini will be on the bd’or podium.

While The idiot? Lmfao he went trophyless and his useless team might get more defenders to keep him on the bench

Lol, this one that will end up in Celta or Levante one of these days

This french team needs zizou
Deschamps is tactically Inept, They need to improve if not I don't think They will go far in world cup

Deschamps should step down voluntarily cos I don't think the French FA would want to sack him after his worldcuo and Nations League exploits.
The .an has toomuch pride for that tho, he would rather stay and think he is acting like a patriot than step down willingly when things are tough which IMO is the right thing to do.
