We have a loaded issue of the Wrestling Observer this week, with business and history features.
We update WWE financials, with comments from Nick Khan, Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon and Kristina Salen talking about the state of the company, the state of sports business, what media companies are looking at right now, AEW, plus a look at WWE revenue and profits. We also look behind the numbers at what they mean, how every category is doing and what categories the company is no longer reporting on. We also look at the decline of WWE ratings as compared to that of cable television and network television.
Impact Wrestling (Jan. 5, 2021) featured the
Hard to Kill card taking shape, Kenny Omega getting violent, as well as Sami Callihan and Eddie Edwards getting even more violent.
Let’s run it down quickly from beginning to end.
Josh Mathews and Madison Rayne were on commentary.
Crazzy Steve defeated Ace Austin, Blake Christian, & KC Navarro in a four-way. This bout was a warm-up heading into the Super X Cup tournament at
Genesis on January 9. Steve used Navarro’s body on a Death Valley Driver to smash the other two in the corner, then Steve connected on a flying DDT to pin Navarro.

Hello there, Impact fans! It’s Tuesday and that means it’s time for another episode of Impact Wrestling. I’m Jeremy, and y’all know how this works. Or actually, you don’t because this is going to be a little different. I will not be able to do a full recap as normal this week, as Impact is no longer sending out screeners and I can’t live recap as full and focus on news posting. As such, this will be a much briefer coverage than usual. We’re looking for someone who can give you weekly live coverage. Either way, I’ll still be watching weekly because dammit, this company has won me over in the past six months. Anyway, let’s jump right in!
