WWE apparently leaving Sky Sports in the UK and heading over to BT

From a business perspective, I can understand the arguement of saying it's better TnA shut down rather than continue to survive while being millions of dollars in the red. That said from the perspective of the talent, the fans and the industry as a whole I'd argue them continuing to exist is the better option. TnA/Imact is alive today, putting out a descent product, and is showcasing a lot of solid talent. They likely could not have done that had they not taken the steps the needed to in order to survive. And I personally hope that's true for AEW.

Alexa Bliss has hardly wrestled in a long time. I said on here before Wrestlemania I was concerned for her long term health and ability to be in the ring. She seemed to come back a little but now this. Retired due to medical issues by Summerslam I'm guessing, which will be sad.
It's incredibly sad, because she's such a great sports entertainer.
That said because her mic skills and look are so good, I think she'll still have a very very long career in WWE if she wants it. I believe someone is going to benefit from her being their manager, because she's a great heat magnet.
agreed, im not a fan, but concussions forcing one into retirment is a crap way to have to go out (if that is what happens)
Im debating going to MITB - Hartford is like 20 min away but its a Sunday night and my work day starts early
