WOR: WWE decides to go live, The Revival, XFL closing

WOR: WWE decides to go live, The Revival, XFL closing

It’s Wrestling Observer Radio with Dave Meltzer and Jim Valley. WWE changed plans — instead of taping episodes of Smackdown, RAW and NXT, the decision was made on the spot to produce them live or close to live as possible. Florida is supposed be closed down. Is Vince doing something that Dana White couldn’t?  Dave has details of when, why and how the WWE decision happened.

Meanwhile, The Revival and WWE officially parted ways. Dave gives his thoughts on that. With the XFL suspending operations, we talk about the economics likely surrounding the situation and how it may affect other wrestling and entertainment companies. Ronda Rousey called fans ungrateful. Did she mean that and does Dave expect her at Wrestlemania next year? 

We wrap up with a fun discussion on promoter Paul Boesch and Houston Wrestling. NWA Powerr uploaded classic Houston footage this week. Dave talks memories of Houston and Paul Boesch.
