Cult Members,

Kind of hoping this Colin Thompson thing would have been Trial by Combat.

Finally, remember this is a Cult, and wrestling has its gimmicks...so HAM it up.

Live from the Bert Ogden Arena in Edinburg, Texas - WWE presents AAA Ola de Calor and NXT Heatwave!

You can tune into the AAA show on WWE's youtube channel here at 12 PM Eastern and the NXT show on the CW TV channel (and ESPN Unlimited) at 3 PM Eastern. These events will also be going head to head with AEW's All In PPV. If you will be watching 6+ hours of modern wrestling today feel free to discuss it with your fellow Cult of Cornette members here. For everyone else, enjoy your Sunday.

If you didn't want to give Russo the click, here's the really confusing parts:

• 3,000 concurrent live viewers: For a TV or major streaming deal, this is relatively small unless it is growing rapidly and consistently. The graphic does not show whether 3,000 is an average, a peak, or a one-time result.
• 50K+ weekly viewership: The metric is undefined. A platform executive would immediately ask, "50,000 what?" Views, unique viewers, impressions, clips, or total cross-platform consumption?
• +2,900% growth claim: This growth metric means nothing, because all YouTube channels start out at zero subscribers.
• Nearly 100K views on breakout content: One successful clip does not prove sustained audience demand for a recurring television program.

This is bad, [bro...]

8 years ago, I was having issues with Sprint, and my cell phone was not working for an extended period of time, yet they kept charging me. Eventually, it was sent to a collection agency and was a nightmare. After hearing Jim talk about him so often, I decided to give his office a call. The secretary took down my information, and Stephen emailed me back. Long story short, he wasn’t able to help me, but he did point me in the direction of what I could do to protect myself, and he also sent me a free shirt, which was pretty cool. I wondered if anyone else here ever contacted Stephen and tried to use him for legal help.

This week on the Drive Thru, Jim reviews WWE Raw, 1947 riot audio, Dave Meltzer's comments about AEW ratings, Will Ospreay's thoughts on WWE, and more! Plus Jim talks about rumors of ESPN being unhappy with WWE, noted liar David Shoemaker's Hulk Hogan book, Sabu in 1994, the passing of Dolly Parton, Ric Flair's tweets, and much more!

So this happened.
