Cassie seemed to be OK with all the sex stuff while she was willing to be in a relationship with Diddy, from what I gather all of this is about what happened once she tried to leave. I've heard multiple legal people describe this as a miscarriage of justice, which I can relate to, but I've also saw people say that legally, the prosecution didn't really prove the more serious charges in this case. The video of him beating Cassie could just be regular old domestic violence, they couldn't prove that it had anything to do with the sex circus. In order for it to be sex trafficking, they'd have to prove that he beat her specifically to keep her in the sex circus and not in an attempt to keep her in the relationship. There is no question that he hired prostitutes to join the sex circus, which he was convicted of, but how do you prove that someone who was a willing and active participant in the sex circus was forced to stay in the sex circus? Having a sex circus full of willing participants who aren't paid to be there is 100% legal

If you read what I just did you wouldn't think that for a second (see weekly thread)

I mean, he actually got such a name, Rocky Maivia.

Yeah, if they can do at least two weeks of pimping for a dude everyone knows (Mistico) then they can do one night of it. I actually just read the Way of the Blade 2 chapter on that match and Mox puts it and Hangman over so hard, there is no possible way he is going to let this disappoint in any way. What it sounds like is a top three match of his in his eyes. He is going to want it to stand up to that. I don't even know if he'll want Deathriders interference, honestly. He likes it and Hanger that much.

I’m still trying to figure out the Toni ringside thing last night (as were the announcers). I think the idea is that, unlike Mercedes, she’s all business now about this match. No food, no faves, no phone, just staring. Mina is not a super worker but makes up for it in looks and personality. Some rough moments early very good by the end. I think Briscoe can more than hold his own against MJF on the mic, because nothing that MJF can say, outside of insulting Jay, can truly phase Mark. We know MJF is gonna go there, and by going there he’s already lost. I think Brody King is who I want to see winning a singles title more than anyone else right now. Not the world champ, but he would be much more interesting than Cole, for example. I want Protoshita to stay a tag team, but I get the sense that Takeshita is building towards a face turn. As others have said, Ibushi held his own, looked like a solid worker, but not a superstar. Excellent match, it’s good to see Okada not coasting. For Bowens, ditch the 5 tool player aspect, lean into the Pride of Pro Wrestling because that’s what people connect with, and I think AEW can do that in a thoughtful, positive way. I enjoy JetSpeed a lot, but I don’t know that you can give them more than a moral victory over Hurt Syndicate right now. There is a dearth of legit tag teams right now. Speaking of, really enjoyed the Bucks work last night and I don’t always say that.

I really don't think there is a snowball's chance in hell of Omega/Okada or Mone/Strom going on last. The last image we are going to see is a bloody Hangman holding up that title belt, or Darby Allin.

Guess who's missing from there? EDIT: Oh, and Joey Ryan, for obvious reasons.

One of the things that was really special about LU is that it was just a murderer's row of guys. Ricochet, Aero Star, Santos Escobar, Mesias, Angelico, Texano Jr., Jeff Cobb (who never was better elsewhere), Strickland, the Lucha Bros., Taya, fucking Mascarita Sagrada, DR. WAGNER JR?!, Cheerleader Melissa, Melina, Drago, Hernandez, Paul London, Sammy Guevara, Willie Mack, Sami Callihan, Pimpi, Ricky Marvin, Iyo Skye, Sonny Kiss, Rey Horus, Flamita, Thunder Rosa, P.J. Black/Justin Gabriel, Wes Lee, Daga, Rey Rey, Mayu Iwatani, Kairi Sane, Jack Evans, Super Fly, Australian Suicide, and guys that if you want to put them in that category, Del Rio, Johnny Johnny, Cage, Hager, Matt Cross, Luchasaurus, Karrion Kross, Tommy Dreamer, Wade Barrett, Chavito... I think I got them all, looking at the Wiki. That's INSANE. I don't even know where Marty the Moth is now but that dude had the craziest match they ever did on the very last show.

There’s still one more Dynamite before the PPV

Watching this all unfold was a balm to my eyes. That dude is such a mealy mouthed piece of shit, watching him get exactly what he deserved was *chefs kiss*. At the end of the day, Punk is cashing his checks, making his money and his fans are going to ignore every piece of hypocrisy that came out of his mouth, but for me, that buried my animosity towards him. He got what he deserved and came out looking like everything people (without their heads in the sand) already knew about what he really was.

Never should’ve restored fan voting .

Not a new game per se but Helldivers 2 will be available on XBOX starting August 26

When Moxley said "top of the mountain" while answering Page's initial challenge I honestly thought that'd be the moment Darby's music hits.

So it's weird that they're building up to a Page/Mox Texas death match without mentioning that they had a Texas death match two years ago, right? Like the fact they are ignoring their whole-ass blood feud in the build up to this blood feud?

Man, AEW is clicking on all cylinders right now. They’ve really come out of the lull they were in since last Summer over the past month or two. With the new stip, something big interference-wise is going to happen in that main event. I don’t know what, but they’ve got something cooking

https://youtu.be/ywC__z5VgZM?si=yeiBT6h5NJ9WPWa8 Relay Directed by David Mackenzie (Hell or High Water) Riz Ahmed, Lily James, Sam Worthington Technically has been around for awhile since it first played at TIFF in 2024 but it is finally getting a release in August

I wish my iPhone could screenshot streaming services. They had that promo shot of Superman on the barricade where he's standing with his arms crossed. In some matches, they'd shoot low from the floor, across the ring, and you'd just see the top of Superman's head. It looked like some weirdo peeking over the apron. Freaked me out.

The fact that we are not 100% sure who is going over between Mox & Page is a good thing; It will add intensity to the match. But, AEW is playing with fire if Hangman doesn't walk away with the belt. And all the Easter eggs with Danielson and Darby recently give me a bad feeling. And now the stops for the Bucks/Ospreay & Strickland match aren't helping. I think Darby is going to return as a Death Rider and fuck Hangman.

Darby as a psychotic heel who hates himself for not being the one to take down Mox sounds fun

It’s the All Star game so it is what it is been Javy Baez being a starting OF for the AL team was not on my bingo card for this season

The live audience reaction felt light - that's how I was feeling. I didn't think the beating was particularly strong, but I could see that. I just thought Bailey/Knight looked weak not getting any quick turnaround offense. Especially considering they started this. I liked what Knight was trying for, but that line felt like a tired cliche to me. All that said, I'm happy to hear some ppl dug it. Yeah, the Briscoe exit/no return made zero sense. Nor did coming out on the mic to set-up another mic segment. That part they somehow pulled off tho.

this seems like as good a place as any to mention that i went to ICP's Gathering of the Juggalos back in 2004. it was fun. Here's the card for the wrestling portion of day 3: https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=139567 and hey, the main event is on youtube! i haven't watched this since it happened. I wonder if i'm on camera anywhere. probably not, i drifted in and out a bunch during this event. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TejwDZZQhpQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLiyzKhzArY

this might be the best way to sum up his EiC run in one sentence.

Truly the Xbox news we all needed this week.
