And yeah, I mean, one, I wonder if they know if they have a certain amount of male talent that are in the PC system that are getting ready to graduate onto TV.

And they feel like they have some strong characters that, hey, in six months from now, this would be great for seeing a classic.

I, you know, I think also we have to talk about the realities of the business.

They're being tasked with cutting a lot of higher end payroll and we're seeing obviously, you know, two thirds of the new day gone and we're, we're seeing talent that, that, you know, have worked their way up to the pay scale.

Well, as you cut them, you wave in some NXT talent who you can give the new contract, the new, the newly structured contracts to whatever that language means or whatever that dollar amount is.

So, um, you know, maybe that's part of the surge is, Hey, we got to,

TKO is going to do business a new way so we got to get some new TKO talent contracts here on the books so maybe that was why there was the greater influx of waving talent in so I agree the NXT men's specifically needs replenished on depth so I would definitely if this could hold off to be something in between Survivor Series and Rumble as John's Saturday Night's Main Event was last year I think that would be best

Yeah, I mean, again, thinking about the time of bad creative, you think about how bad creative got from...

top to bottom overall during the years of 2014 to, we'll just say the pandemic, because the pandemic's kind of a whole other animal.

From 2014 to 2020, how bad some of the creative got, especially when you got away from WrestleMania.

When you were at other parts of the calendar, it was just like, oof.

And they somehow thrived.

And I'll be fascinated to see whatever media they do or interviews they do or books they ever write to find out and get their version of the story of what the origin is of, again, Francesca the trombone or the idea for bootios.

They keep you from – don't be booty.

And rainbows and unicorns and –

I mean, all the different things they did that got over, when you speak it out loud, you're like, that's not going to get over.

That's going to be booed out of the building.

But they made it work.

And so it's just all the more amazing.

It's not like they were getting over with ridiculousness during the Attitude Era when everybody got over with ridiculousness in the Attitude Era because you could do anything and everything.
