Other than during Christmas/New Years holiday season and international tours when the house show schedule is heavier, the talent normally only works Friday/Saturdays or Sunday/Mondays then they got their travel day(s) around that.

So let's say they are on the road 4 days on average - 2 for travel and then two wrestling days - and if they don't take any weeks off, that's 208 days a year on the road.

But it's very likely less than that, some of the travel will inevitably be same day as the show and most aren't on the road 52 weeks a year.

Can I just get one Penta main event run from Trips or TK before he's done :wow:
I like Penta, but he’s not main event status. A run with the TNT or one of the other midcard belts is his ceiling. He should dethrone Perry by the end of the year/early next year (if he re-signs) or even take Os’ title.

Dragon Lee was getting a nice lil push at one point. Visa issues fukked him
I know he was NXT NA champ, but for like 3 weeks. :heh:
He is absolutely a main eventer.
He barely speaks English. Yeah, he stands out, but he doesn’t have a personality to be that top guy. He’s basically Andrade if he kept the mask; just add a catchphrase to the taunt. :skip:

They had graphics for his Smackdown appearances and all


Crazy how in wrestling a few weeks off with an injury or something outside of your control can stall your whole shyt. Position lost.


Just look at Ali.. a kick from the face from Orton probably stopped a world title run depending on how you look at it. Cutthroat ass business lol

shyt, it could have lol.. I mean, considering kofimania was meant to be Alimania. Doesn’t necessarily mean it would have had the same effect tho. I feel like with Kofi it was right place, right time.. but if Ali has the same long ass performance in that gauntlet which was the original plan, who knows how shyt plays out. Maybe fans get behind him similarly

Only PPV main event Penta might get in WWE is in Mexico. In AEW he might could get it somewhere outside of Mexico for a tag title match if they heat up that tag division again.

Not that it means much in the long run but Reggie (Scrypts), Drew Gulak and Boa WWE profiles have been moved to the Alumni section on WWE.com. So it seems their contracts have finally come to an end.
