And just to respond to some of the NXT stuff. It’s been significantly better than the main roster for years, now. NXT is better than I remember WWE ever being at any point in its history... The only time I recall it being close to as good would be around the year 2000. Mick Foley and Triple H kicked off the year with the best match in either’s career (well, too 3 for Foley, by far the best Triple H match, though) and it just seemed everything was during right on all cylinders. The Attitude era by and large was not as great as I remembered UNTIL about 2000, 2001 was the next best year, but 2000 really was something else.

NXT kind of brought that sort of excitement back, just without the gigantic crowds and mostly everyone knowing what’s going on (since like few people watch pro-wrestling anymore, let alone NXT)

Ouch, typos! Either I wrote this on my phone while on a bumpy ride, or I was drunk =P

Anyway, I just wanted to check in to say I'm pleased Keith Lee won, that guy is beyond Mike Awesome level.

That match was the only WWE match I've cared about in months. I have pretty much entirely migrated to AEW. 

I'm not going to comment on the WWE quality. Because I'd be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying the crap out of NXT and some stuff that was happening.

However, I have tuned out of WWE, and am not watching any of their programming (despite continuing to follow it) because WWE has been more unethical than usual in the last year or so.

I'm a bit fan of US politician Andrew Yang right now. He's a longtime WWE fan (for decades) and has been speaking out against them recently. Now he feels like he finally has power to do something about the problems he's seen with the company for decades. He's the US politician I relate to the most, being that he's close in age, he reminds me of a lot of my friends; of all the ones in the democratic primaries I'd want to have a drink with: Yang, Booker, Castro, Ojeda, and Williamson - it's not that I dislike the others, it's that I don't think I could have a conversation with them =P

Anyway 

She got thousands of new subscribers during this full stream, got her a little emotional:
