>>8059148 Supposedly the ratings for this week's Dynamite are so bad that Tony's started panicking and going into DEFCON 5 mode. Had FTR come in the day after Thanksgiving to shoot an insert promo that was spliced into Rampage at the last second, to announce a Dax/Bryan match that is going to be hotshotted on Dynamite next week to boost ratings.
Also, there are rumors that Tony's now pressuring Meltzer to be more overtly Team FTR and not Team Elite and possibly even demanding that Meltzer rig the End of Year awards so FTR sweep them, under the guise that if Meltzer publicly declares 2022 "The Year of FTR" and starts stanning them hard going forward, that Tony can magically negate the toxic cloud over the company and how the Bucks/Omega have repeatedly fucked FTR over since the Bucks recent stunts mocking Punk have only made shit worse in the locker room in terms of the Punk loyalist side openly revolting against the Elite for their crap.
