TKO loves money, hates fun

They put on WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas over the weekend, and the reaction from at least some wrestling fans has been: “Fuck TKO.” As in, we mean they were actually, literally chanting “Fuck TKO” in the arena during the post-show. Yeah, it seems like the parent company of WWE and the UFC isn’t super popular with either fan base. And maybe they deserve that. Maybe they’re sucking all the life out of both these products on some soulless cash-grab shit, without any thought for the future, and where the only barometer for how things are going is how much money the already super-rich ownership group can shove in their pockets.


But, you know, who are we to judge? We’re just the people whose money that is.


Plus, Brock Lesnar left his gloves in the ring at WM42. That could be a wrap for The Beast. And does Mike Malott need the help of CME Consulting Services?
