Anthem...ugh.
Was hoping I was done with this shit when I dropped WWE.
Virtually all American wrestling promotions start events with the National Anthem, it's not unique to the WWE.
And beyond that essentially all US sporting events full stop.
I honestly couldn't tell you the last time I heard the national anthem at a WWE event.
Think they might be setting up the idea that PAC was just a hired gun to take out Hangman.
Wonder if we'll get it in Australia? Hopefully it's not Foxtel/pay TV.
Yeah, Vince doesn't particularly like The Star Spangled Banner.

Just a funny image to put up. Guess we'll find out more Thursday about what Page will be doing.
There's an extra Being the Elite on Thursday, so I'm guessing it will be addressed there.
I don't understand why they couldn't have just done that finish at Vegas and have Pac disappear until he was ready to commit fully to AEW.
They're being weird about not wanting to do time limit draws and don't want to do DQ finishes on PPV.
They've pretty much said they don't want bullshit finishes on their big events, and there are rumblings of a Visa not coming through yet and would be to the wire if it did get sorted, so best to at least partially deliver.
I'm so jealous! That was my exact plan, but I couldn't get tix. Have fun!!
The closer we get to Double or Nothing the more I'm glad they pulled out on the match. I appreciate what they're trying to do, even if it meant not delivering on an originally promoted match.
Yeah, we got the match in some form. To me, just depends on the follow up from Thursday how I'll judge it. If it's a lower tier than Moxley or Punk out of the available talent, it should be announced beforehand. There's several guys out there I'd like to watch Page fight, but they're not "WOAH WHAT A SHOCK" levels that they would need for a mystery opponent.
I can see him showing up on the first episode of AEW.
Double or Nothing? Unlikely.
Not at all, but I'm saying that's the level I'd want for a "surprise opponent" if they're not going to announce whatever match Page is having at DoN.
Yeah, see, that's not the kind of surprise I want. Advertise that in advance if it's going to be that.
lol no. They keep teasing it, but I doubt it'll be this soon.
They have a good angle ready to use about Marty feeling abandoned by the Elite if they want to go that route.
