Jason’s Thoughts On Today’s News
Kenny Omega joining All Elite was one of the worst kept secrets in all of wrestling. But with that in mind, I am excited to see Jericho vs Omega. I am also excited with the potential Lucha Bros/Young Bucks matchup. But let’s be honest, all the fanboy talk of AEW crushing WWE needs to stop. I am not against the company succeeding, and I hope it does. But id rather see it be an alternative product then WWE 2.0
Speaking of the WWE, their ratings report today was an impressive one. While ratings may be down, business apparently is as profitable as ever.

Andrew Yang: WWE Stars Should Be SAG‑AFTRA Members, Echoing Kevin Nash
Andrew Yang weighed in after Kevin Nash suggested on his Kliq This podcast that WWE performers should consider joining SAG‑AFTRA amid reports WWE/TKO has asked some talent to accept pay cuts. Responding to a Cultaholic post, Yang wrote, “Nash is right — WWE wrestlers participate in highly-rated scripted programming every week. They should be SAG-AFTRA members already.”
Yang has repeatedly criticized WWE’s treatment of talent and the company’s classification of wrestlers as independent contractors, pointing to past disputes like the 2020 Twitch policy that briefly saw Zelina Vega leave the company. He also took aim at recent creative decisions, arguing earlier this year that increased celebrity involvement at WrestleMania and corporate priorities have sidelined the core wrestling performers.

Violent J: JCW aiming to expand beyond Juggalos, pursue “new goal”
Violent J told The Bryan and Vinny Show that Juggalo Championship Wrestling is “hungry for a new goal,” with plans to broaden its appeal beyond ICP’s fanbase and compete with other indy promotions. He said JCW is getting serious about being taken seriously in the wrestling world, mixing tongue‑in‑cheek entertainment with legitimate in‑ring variety so the product can attract general wrestling fans, not just Juggalos.
JCW will continue to lean into its over‑the‑top roots while adding diverse wrestling styles to reach a wider audience; Violent J emphasized he wants “a little bit of everything” so every fan sees something they enjoy. Episodes of JCW Lunacy air Thursdays on the Psychopathic Records YouTube channel, and the promotion recently posted the full StrangleMania show from WrestleMania 42 week in Las Vegas.
