With Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan discussing it. Do you know who sang the big show’s theme? Was it big show?

It was not the Big Show, ever. The redone theme song was Joe Altier, who still does some stuff tied to wrestling. There is a popular internet urban legend that it is either Big Show or Michael Hayes. Paul Wight himself claims that it was Michael Hayes sang the original version, but he has never taken credit for that, and it would have come up by now. Jim Johnston conceptualized it and produced it.

Sean, do we have any clue what the deal was with all the stuff with Tom Brady and Logan Paul? Was there supposed to be something that happened at WrestleMania and it fell through? I don’t understand all the back and forth and then just… nothing happened.

It was largely to promote the flag football thing that they were doing. That was the primary reason. It was just a bunch of stuff to get headlines that would end up plugging that. WWE reached out about possibly having Tom Brady appear at WrestleMania, but I'm not quite sure what happened with that.

Do you think TKO, WWE would EVER LOWER their prices for anything once they see a decline in everything?? Thanks Sean and Team!!!

It is all about revenue. If lowering prices would lead to such an increase that it would result in more money, they would do it. For now, they are happy overcharging and getting people in the building at the rates they are. Inflation is killing the world right now, and they've definitely priced out a lot of people.
