0:00.0	Hey, what's up, everyone. Don Tony here. Welcome to your pro wrestling news update for Wednesday.
0:07.9	January 29, 2025. I want to thank everybody for joining me on this report. I will let everybody
0:16.1	know right up front that this will be a pretty quick update. Don't want to overwhelm everyone, especially at being Royal Rumble Week, and obviously
0:25.5	that's the bulk of the news being discussed.
0:28.2	But we got quite a bit of ratings.
0:30.3	Something that I think is, maybe it was expected by a lot of you out there, but I think

1:18.6	just to get that extra emotion. But I thought it was so tasteless yesterday for some of them to say
1:25.4	that J.D. McDonough collapsed when he got backstage.
1:30.0	First of all, nobody in WWE was reporting that at the time.
1:34.9	There was no fan footage of that at the time.
1:37.3	People assumed because of the bump that once he got to the backstage,
