It's actually crazy how many of my predictions for 2020 have actually come true. Or not come true, but in a really eerie kind of parallel way.

* I predicted Daniel Bryan would join creative on SmackDown.

* I predicted that the WWE would actually try to make stars and put on good programming due to the virus (which I would say they did at the Royal Rumble).

* I was desperately hoping that The Rock would put money into a wrestling promotion. That hasn't happened, but he did buy the XFL. That could be a precursor for a wrestling league -- especially with his stance on it seemingly being "I started in football, I have an emotional connection to football, I wanted a football league."

The other big predictions, as surreal as both are, was them bringing back WCW when the crowds come back (or starting up another wrestling promotion without WWE branding) and striking up a deal with New Japan. Both seem way too surreal, but so did my other predictions, but I got there in a reasonable way.

So yeah, come on universe -- WCW, New Japan and a Rock-owned wrestling promotion, please.
