2. Recent trademark news appears to indicate that the applications have been ballsed up and that all of them weren’t even properly applied for or paid for.

Seems amateurish and combined with the Fulham scenario, is a bit worrying going forward and would make it seem like they don’t really know what they are doing.

Might be fine and early teething problems, but it’s def a reminder of where they are.
Prob'ly this.

I know there are folks who just want this to implode because they hate the Young Bucks or whatever, but even WWE wasn't WWE overnight, a fact that even that company seems to forget at times. As long as they keep going the "alternative" route and not fall for the "competition" trap OR hope this thing becomes perfect before 2020 even starts and blow it up to start over if it isn't (aka the mistake TNA kept making by hitting multiple reset buttons). The beginning steps of possibly sustaining the brand should be around five years or so. Give or take.

On the subject of Eli Drake and Joey Ryan... I personally dislike watching those two for divergent reasons, but they are capable in the ring. Eli still needs to tone down the "Tryhard Miavia" schtick (seriously, even Sonny Siaki wasn't aping him that much), and Joey is hopefully moving past trying to cling to what was supposed to be a one-off, contextual spot against one particular opponent and parlay that into a career move over a number of YEARS. It would be like if Adam Cole still was trying to get everyone to suck his dick while working his way up the NXT ladder.

And, because I haven't done this in awhile and am overdue:
