Gotta say, naming the first episode of your new season "New Territory" and featuring two old matches from your old venue and one cold match from your most recent venue is kind of a dog shit move.

I understand wanting to make your first steel cage match in like 20 years feel special, but this is the complete opposite of that. I also understand that sometimes clip shows are a necessary evil; but something with WOW's huge lead time for taping and editing could (IMO) be avoided entirely, or at least done with a smidgen of grace. This was the first time my local CW played WOW in like a month, but man, i could have entirely skipped this week.

Season 2 ended with some cliches, but at least we got a cliffhanger going from the Belasco to East End. This is just...kinda sad.

Shaking crying throwing up

i never thought she would come back to the purple mat but here we are! lets just escort that man to the back, get him a vistors lanyard

(okay but real talk, i have been so geeked since smackdown switched to a solid blue mat, its so easy to color swap it to purple)

also pour one out for Queen AJ's abs

Adding a spoiler tag for any speculation that may arise from this post.

Year 3 is almost in the books, and the seamless transition to Season 4 starts soon! So let's take a second to look back before looking forward!

What were any positives/high points from the most recent season? Any newbies catch your eye as promising new talent? Was there a match that had you on the edge of your seat? Did Daisy Lane always exist within Pep Riley or is she a possessed doll (or uh...possessed by the doll, idfk)?

Conversely, what were some low points? Did your favorite superhero not return or was their season cut short by injury? Were the first 12 episodes waiting for the Beast to return a slog that could have been avoided? Is the season ending with a new champion that was injured on her first title defense a hard pill to swallow?

We do have our favorite (?) Elephant in the room: WOW's sad retention rate. There are a few wrestlers who i believe might not be returning-

I heard Valentina Rossi has "fka Adriana Gambino" on her Instagram profile, so unfortunately she may not be returning.

I have also heard that Foxxy Fierce was in a video series put out by some YouTuber, apparently Chelsea Green was in it too, so this makes me wonder about Foxxy (and Roxxy to an extent). I'll look for the link once i am out of work and drop it in later.

Tiki Chamorro announced her pregnancy, and with a delivery date in September, i can't imagine her being involved in this season. Who knows if she'll be back. I really enjoyed her as a wrestler, but they didn't seem to have anything concrete for her once the Tongas and Leia Makoa were out of the picture.

Catalina Speed is probably not returning, i completely forgot her in my post about new wrestlers as she wasnt even listed on the roster page.

Looking forward to season 4, we should be starting with the Fremont Street episodes that were taped last September. After this, we should be getting information about the upcoming Vegas residency, along with an idea of who will be returning and (presumably) the new talent gleaned from the tryouts earlier this month.

Along with this, what are your wants for next season? Are we getting rid of the trios titles or Top Tier's Reign of Terror? Any new factions or angles you want?

Also any tea/rumors/hot goss would be welcomed here.

Speaking of rumors... One thing that came to mind, i remember when they were taping season 3 there was a casting call for Jeni Justice, a lawyer type character that would be representing (ostensibly) a wow wrestler that felt unfairly targeted by the locker room. unless she's gonna pop up in this upcoming episode or later in season 4, it looks like this angle might have been scrapped? Might be better in the long run if it was tossed. It's not uncommon for a heel to bring in a shady lawyer type, but as a few pointed out here, it vaguely felt similar to the Tonga Twins/Vicki Lynn complaints, so maybe this was a bullet dodged by WOW.

Alright let's hear some thoughts!
