00:00WWE is pissed about NXT, WWE stars want Def Rebel gone, two AEW shows taken off air, and

00:10more.

00:11I'm Oli Davis, and this is the WrestleTalk News.

00:23Do you have 3-5 years in the music, media or entertainment industries?

00:29Do you have a deep understanding of and experience in the media and entertainment industry?

00:36And most importantly, do you like really generic wrestling entrance themes that all

00:40sound the same?

00:41Because you could become WWE's new Director of Music Strategy and Operations.

00:47WWE have got many things right in the last few years, creating top stars, signing Netflix

00:53deals and doing record gates.

00:55But one widely agreed upon negative has been that all the entrance music kind of sucks.

01:03Because of a bad record label contract from 2016, WWE started to phase out all of their

01:08really good CFO money produced music, switching to tracks from the music production company

01:13BJBTP, more commonly known as the pseudonym Def Rebel, whom they don't have to pay as

01:19many royalties to.

01:21And now, following a rumour that WWE won't be continuing to use Def Rebel music once

01:25their contract expires, the company has listed the job posting for a new Director of Music.

01:31Don't fire up your iPod minis just yet, though, as it's been pointed out that the

01:35job is more of a strategic and administrative role, rather than a composer one like Def

01:39Rebel, CFO Money or Jim Johnson had.

01:42Although whoever gets this new job might be in charge of finding Def Rebel's replacement,

01:47and potentially start using mainstream music for more wrestler themes, as has been reported.

01:52Fightful claims that there's been a lot of frustration behind the scenes from WWE

01:56wrestlers at the Def Rebel themes, with many being negative on their current entrance music.

02:01One joked that all the members of Judgment Day, Damage Control and Seth Rollins all had

02:05very similar sound and music over a several year period.

02:09Which would be very witty, if Judgment Day's theme wasn't produced by another band called

02:12Alter Bridge.

02:14Apparently many wrestlers were never explicitly told why their themes were changed from their

02:18usually much better CFO Money ones, even though they had asked.

02:23Talent claim to have never actually had any direct contact with Def Rebel, which is very

02:27different to the more collaborative approach Johnson had or Mikey Ruckus in AEW, who work

02:32with the wrestler to come up with a theme that fits their character.

02:35Which is pretty important when WWE has been sometimes focusing more on entrances than

02:41matches.

02:42Many people on the WWE production team are unhappy with Def Rebel's output, telling

02:46Fightful they want a more motivated and personalised approach.

02:51And the NXT roster is annoyed too, this time with their TV broadcaster rather than a music

02:56producer.

02:57Since NXT moved to the CW station earlier this month, they haven't had the luxury

03:02of an overrun.

03:03Their broadcast feed will get cut off bang on 10pm Eastern for the evening news.

03:08NXT have managed to hit the timings over the last few weeks, even if it's occasionally

03:12been a struggle, like CM Punk having to rush through the final moments of the Trick Williams

03:16vs Ethan Page NXT Championship match on the debut episode.

03:20Tuesday 22nd's show closed on the Australian indie wrestler Delta making her debut in NXT

03:26under the new name Zaria.

03:27You might not know that, though, as the feed was cut off in some parts of the US before

03:31she turned up.

03:33Fightful Select is reporting that while WWE officials had previously confirmed with their

03:37satellite providers that NXT would stay on air until 10pm exactly, there was actually

03:43a 20 second delay in some markets, meaning that places like Orlando, the very home of

03:49NXT, had the show cut off before Zaria's debut.

03:53Apparently people backstage were very upset, everyone who runs or has a say in the show

03:58was pissed.

05:23Wow, that's amazing.

05:26It sure is.

05:27Now, pie up, little man.

05:29Wait, is that a banana?

05:31It sure is.

05:32And it's loaded.

05:33We'd better do something.

05:34We need to get out of here.

05:35Uh, okay.

05:36Look, a new Ghostbusters film.

05:37Oh, I love the Ghostbusters.

05:38Yeah, me too.

05:39Where is it?

05:40No, no, come with me, Luke.

05:41Come on.

05:42Where are we going?

05:43Where are we going to the Ghostbusters?

05:44Where is it?

05:45Oh, God.

05:46Oh, maybe he's mistaken.

05:47Oh.

05:48Damn.

05:49That paint done fooled me again.

06:00Endeavor, WWE's parent's parent company, so their grandparent, was a bit of a hodgepodge

06:07of ideas.

06:08It's a talent agency, a media rights owner, a film and production company, they put on

06:13live events, a talent agency, they're a ticket seller, it's an ad agency, it's a hospitality

06:18company and a talent agency.

06:20It does so many things, you probably didn't realise I'd put talent agency in there three

06:24times.

06:25But with TKO, the spun-off company that contains the UFC and WWE, they created something focused.

06:32We do combat sports, sometimes legitimate, sometimes predetermined, and the stock market

06:37valued their well-defined mission highly.

06:39But it's been about a year, so let's chuck in a load more IP.

06:42TKO have announced they've acquired On Location, a sport events company, IMG, a sports content

06:47services firm that does everything from selling media rights to making your digital content,

06:52and most excitingly of all, the world's premier ballriding league.

06:57Professional ballriders.

06:58Which, coincidentally, is where your mum competes.

07:02So TKO will no longer be Endeavor's combat sports-focused division, as its name implies,

07:07but potentially a place for all of Endeavor's sports IP and services.

07:11Although… also not.

07:13As Endeavor still has their basketball and esports IPs EuroLeague and ELeague.

07:19But does it really matter if we get a WrestleMania crossover match of Brom Breaker trying to

07:23spear an actual ball from the ballriders thing?

07:26First, he'll probably take on Jacob Fatu, after their brief confrontation on Monday's

07:31episode of Raw, which got arguably the loudest reaction of the show.

07:34According to WrestleVotes Radio, there was heavy, heavy internal praise on how well this

07:39came off, especially reaction from the live crowd in Philadelphia.

07:44We were told that numerous people backstage enjoyed it, and were almost stunned by how

07:48big of a reaction these two men got.

07:51We can say that there is nothing in the short-term plan between the two right now, but the feeling

07:55is creative that they certainly stumbled onto something big.

07:59There is a bigger match WWE could do in the meantime.

08:02Controversially though, it involves intergender wrestling.

08:05Bar a few exceptions, like Baron Corbin hitting the end of days on Becky Lynch in 2019, a

08:10spot that Corbin said got him sent death threats.

08:13WWE have stayed away from any man-on-woman simulated violence.

08:17Women on men spots, however, are fine.

08:19Like Ripley beating up Dominik Mysterio.

08:21But the best conclusion to that storyline is an actual Rhea vs Dominik match, where

08:26Dom can hit Ripley back.

08:29Which is why some are pitching it backstage in WWE.

08:32According to WrestleVotes, there is a real desire on some level of creative to do this

08:36match before the angle fizzles out.

08:38But others backstage are resistant to the idea, as WWE could receive a backlash for

08:43portraying a man laying his hands on a woman.

08:46Do you think WWE should do a Dominik vs Rhea singles match?

08:49Let me know in the comments down below because I'll be replying to people FROM OUTTA THIS

08:53INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE BOTCH.

08:55Gunther and Cody Rhodes will fight in a champion vs champion match at Crown Jewel to win the

09:00gaudiest of belts.

09:01And according to WWE's own recently released match graphic, the champion vs champion is

09:06actually Undisputed WWE Champion Cody vs Intercontinental Champion Gunther.

09:13While Gunther did hold the IC belt for a very long time, he is the World Heavyweight Champion

09:17now.

09:18So WWE's graphics department probably wants to update that render file.

09:21But when you're hot, you can make mistakes like that, and it not even matter.

09:25For AEW right now, who have severely cooled over the course of this year, Will Ospreay

09:29could have match of the century with a 2160 Balcony dive flip finish and it not shift

09:33out of the low 600s.

09:34WrestleNomics is reporting that Wednesday's episode of Dynamite drew 637,000 viewers and

09:40a .19 rating in the 18-49 demographic.

09:44This is slightly up from last week's 633,000 viewers, but also slightly down from last

09:49week's .20 rating.

09:50This is the fourth consecutive week that NXT has beat Dynamite.

09:54NXT's move to the CW, at least initially, has increased viewership massively for the

09:59month of October, thanks to help from main roster stars, and AEW taking a big hit being

10:04moved from its usual slot to Tuesday 8th.

10:07While there's a story behind this or that, in cold hard numbers, NXT has drawn 831,000

10:13more viewers than AEW's total this month.

10:16NXT has performed 36% better than AEW in October.

10:22This has led to low ticket sales for AEW's live events, with this Saturday's Collision

10:27Show in Cedar Rapids, Iowa reportedly doing atrocious ticket sales according to the Wrestling

10:32Observer.

10:33Looking at WrestleTix's status post for the event, the show has only shifted 1,253

10:39tickets, with 458 still available, meaning over a quarter of seats are still empty despite

10:45this being a very scaled back capacity.

10:47At full capacity, the venue can fit in 9,000.

10:51While this is a Collision show, for comparison, at the start of the year, the Wrestling Observer

10:55laid out the warning figures for live event attendance for Dynamite.

10:594,000 is fine, under 3,000 is pretty bad.

11:03Under 2,000, however, is WCW 2,000 attendance levels of bad.

11:08So it's no surprise that two long running AEW TV shows are expected to be cancelled

11:13soon.

11:14According to Fightful Select, while Dynamite and Collision have been renewed with WBD for

11:18the very profitable three year deal, AEW is not planning to film Rampage or Battle

11:23of the Belts in 2025.

11:26Which kind of makes sense, when the last Battle of the Belts episode last Saturday was main

11:30evented without a belt on the line.

11:32But this could be a good thing.

11:34One problem since AEW launch Collision and up the amount of pay-per-views every year

11:37is an oversaturation of content.

11:40Scaling back on TV could really focus Tony Khan into making Dynamite and Collision the

11:45best it can be.

11:46Oh yeah, we're back baby.

11:53Just one more thing.

11:54Apparently AEW are instead going to focus on exploring other possibilities with additional

12:00content.

12:01Which is said to be their new idea of Shockwave.

12:03Swerve Strickland recently let slip that this new program, Shockwave, being on Fox, was

12:08pretty much in the bag when he didn't know he was being recorded.

12:11Although Fox does reportedly have interest in wrestling content now they no longer have

12:15SmackDown, this deal is not yet done.

12:18Who will win the Gordiest of Belts in Saudi Arabia?

12:21Watch mine and Luke's crown jewel predictions now in three words or less… slash fewer.
