Women, and men, should be able to do whatever the fuck they want with their own bodies. I'm 42 and I never even knew Mandy Rose had an OnlyFans or whatever she had until today. I would imagine the vast, vast, vast majority of the audience also had no clue. Literally no one was hurt or affected by this and people are now only aware because they fired her for it. Go fuck yourself with all of this talk of morality clauses or "why did she do it now instead of waiting until her contract was up" bullshit. It's her body and it's her own business.

I’m assuming Vince finally saw Casino and now wants to come back as the Food & Beverage Manager.

Imagine being so much of a workaholic that you’re a multimillionaire and you’re sad because you can’t go back to work. Like, goddamn dude, go to the Bahamas or something for a year. Jesus. Work isn’t everything. Also fuck him, but still.

Will she blade? WILL SHE? Tay IS hardcore. But first, number four of seven! Oh no! Nick Jackson is injured! BRANDON! BRANDON! CUTLER! Omega is wrestling for SEVEN! This is awesome. PENTA hits the GNARLIEST PILEDRIVER of the week so far! GREAT nearfall by Omega. NICK RETURNS! He's wrestling on one leg! HAMMER TIME! NICK TAPS! Death Triangle is 2/3rds EVIL! WEAPONS MATCH! NO DQ! So fun! Nick should have stayed out and Omega should have killed all three of Death Triangle. Tonight's match was set up next week's match, which is fine. Oh no! They are setting up the Acclaimed versus Jeff Jarratt and Jay Lethal! I guess they can't wrestle FTR every week. YES! BAN THE GIANT SWING! IT IS BARBARIC! IT's Brian Cage versus Jungle Boy Jack Perry! Now that Cage has the trios title, he can put over everyone in singles matches. Brian Cage IS Dax Harwood! GREAT Vertical Suplex off the second rope by Brian Cage! In picture in picture, Brian Cage beats on Jack Perry to get the crowd behind his struggle to escape the Kanyon-influenced offence of Brian Cage! The crowd is molten for Perry! Cage is cutting off Perry with a truly hellish Lariat! Cage taps while Prince Nana distracts the ref! Brian Cage is gonna win! Perry reverses it for the roll-up! Oh man, Lee Moriarty versus Jack Perry will be thoroughly awesome. BIG BILL! It's HOOK! Okay, this is a wad of fun! Wait! Waitwaitwait! Blackpool Combat Club versus Hangman and the DARK ORDER? AWESOME. House of Black takes on the Factory! The Factory are destroyed by House of Black! Skye Blue SPEAKS! Blue versus Britt Baker will be perfectly fine. HEY! It's Action Andretti! I assume Jericho will make him look so good that he gets signed. AND HE'S DOING IT AGAIN! Jericho is a fucking Best Bout Machine. The heat is fucking amazing. Action with the Lariats! Man, Jericho is fucking awesome. So many GREAT fucking NEARFALLS. WHAT THE FUCK! WHAAT THE FUCK! ACTION ANDRETTI GETS THE PIN! Chris Jericho is the greatest wrestler in the history of wrestling. This is the what? fourth guy he's MADE on TV this year. SO. FUCKING. AWESOME. That was great. Dallas is the wrestling capital of the world, it seems. FTR versus the Ass Boys will COMPLETELY fucking rule. Tay Melo is wearing red. Hmmmmmm. I don't know if she is blading. Oh man, this match is fucking great! Ruby Soho is totally fucking laying it in. Tay is built for brawling. This is great. GOTCH STYLE PILEDRIVER by Tay FOR TWO! Ruby Soho kicks her in the face! Destination Unknown! That was fucking great. POSTMATCH! Anna JAS breaks Ruby's face! I was hoping Willow Nightingale would make the save. It's the main event! I can't believe that this will be the THIRD best match of the night- behind Soho/Melo and FRICKIN JERICHO/ACTION ANDRETTI! This match is good though. Basic solid wrestling. MJF is awesome doing the Old School Abdominal Stretch with added extra CHEATING! Nice Lariat by Starks. GREAT NEARFALL on the Tiger Driver! GREAT NEARFALL on the Powerbomb to the knee by MJF! GREAT Arm Submissions by MJF. LOWBLOW FOR THE WIN! That was fucking great. That was a VERY Heavyweight Championship styled match. Postmatch! AMERICAN DRAGON! AEW RULES THE ENTIRE MOTHERUFCKING FUCKING MOITHREFUCKING WORLD!

Where is the issue? WWE has made money off this person's likeness, and in return, she's earned notoriety through her own work with the company. Now, she wants to take that notoriety and move in a different direction with it. WWE got what they wanted out of the relationship and so did she. I don't understand why people argue that the performer owes anything to the company. She traded her labor for a check and a profile. That's fair.

When AEW wrestlers want to leave but find Vince McMahon back at WWE.

That was one heck of a show with the Crowd of the Year.

OH HELL YEAH!

Well, shit. Welcome to wrestling prior to guaranteed contracts.

Well, if she was fired for cause? I'd think Tony is probably currently on the phone with Seal's people to see how much Kiss From A Rose costs as entrance music.

If history has taught us anything, Roxanne better boil that belt before she wears it.

I want to point out a couple things, maybe this has already been discussed but when or if Mercedes comes into AEW, she's instantly the top star of the division and treating her in any way less than THE top woman on the roster would be a mistake. I'm not saying you feed Jade to Mercedes but you need to be extremely careful with the book. When Bryan and Punk came into AEW there were huge reactions, good buyrates, ratings were up, etc. And you fast-forward a few months and all of that initial hype wore off. Why is that? I think especially in Bryan's case it's because he was treated as just another guy. Too many losses and too many matches against random dudes who weren't over. That could be exactly what Bryan wanted, but that doesn't matter, you don't pay a Bryan Danielson to be just a guy having random good matches with Daniel Garcia. AEW has left a lot of money on the table with these signings. Say what you want about WWE but they absolutely under the same circumstances would have booked a big Bryan vs. Punk program almost right out the game. They would not have had a big free agent wrestling Humberto on a random SD! a couple months into signing him to a big contract. Yes, people will say well WWE also blew it with Bryan but that's different because they fuck up with their own wrestlers all the time, but free agents that they pay lots of money to usually come in and do real well in their first money feuds, see: Cody.

This is art.

WWE is just mad they aren't getting a taste. They had no problem for a long time teaching models to wrestle and giving them a push coincidental with them being in Playboy.

Hangman’s promo was old school as shit. Like Ole Anderson just jumped him from behind on 1981 GCW TV and now he’s out for revenge at the Omni.

You know how a band will put out a concept album just to prove that they can play anything? I think that’s Chris Jericho’s 2022. The dude has had practically every match type possible this year and has knocked it out of the park. Traveling champion stuff? Brawls? Hoss fights? Tags? Garbage marches? And now jobber upsets. And all bangers.

WWE released Mandy Rose. SRS and PWInsider both confirmed.

This side-by-side makes it look like Cena is doing his John Wayne as Genghis Khan role:

lol i'll pretend you said Marty Scurll

You gotta love Jericho's looks of shock and misery. He's so good at it. I only caught about half of this one but Tay/Ruby brought it, Andretti/Jericho brought it, and the main brought it. Tay is such a good shitbird heel now and Ruby going Saito Suplex crazy like Eddie was great. "Let's Go Jobber" with Mr. Jobber busting out the split legged moonsault and the ARABIAN MOONSAULT to win himself a job was awesome. And then Maxwell, superworker at making people look like chumps, eked out a win against a very game Ricky. Oh and Hangman cut a money promo! Good good stuff.

That was a fun show. I need more House of Black squashes.

He would alternate between whispering sweet nothings in his Sid voice and yelling at the top of his lungs and the whole ordeal would be confusing, terrifying, and arousing

THAT’S OUR GIRL! Go get ‘em Dori!

Saraya had a sex tape leaked by a ex-lover. That’s entirely different from what we’re talking about.

That's just another nickname he gave to his nuts.

Oh I just want to see her in AEW. That will be awesome. I also dig that she takes ownership of her body like Toni Storm did.

She'd be great in AEW too.

So why did they just hire Valerie Loureda whose calling appears to be posting racy content?

https://twitter.com/tonykhan/status/1602793573598253057?s=21 I'm unreasonably hyped they got ROUNDBALL FN ROCK. Very, very cool for those of us of a certain age

-1C yesterday. So cold out not helped by having one of the worst pints I've ever had. Glad I called into ASDA as I saw Doris and Claire who I've known all my life and haven't seen them in a few years. Great to come home and find my Batman oversized hoodie had arrived. Very warm.

Meltzer: Fuck off, Vince McMahon.

Action Andretti has a bad name and super shitty Will Ospreay hair, BUT WHO CARES! HOLY SHIT! That was an awesome upset that made you think anything could happen. HOOOOOOOOOOK! This crowd fucking ruled. Putting Hook with JB and pairing them up against the firm is a really good idea. Like, this whole show ruled. I'm not really sure what else to say, but everyone came to party.

MEATY MEN SWINGING MEAT!!!

I just finished watching this weeks show and thought it was pretty good. Kandi vs Robbie was a good opener. I like the feud they are building between kandi and the voodoo club. Ice cold is one of my favorites so I was bummed to see her lose. Penelope pink and Lana continue to deliver as the main villains of the promotion. I've been a fan of Lana since the inception of wow so I look forward to her devious plans. Finally this tag title tournament is over. But I'm curious if Mclane was trying to tie the wow tag title to the lineage of the NWA. They used old nwa tag champions in the video. I was surprised sweet heat won. But it was a nice plot twist to see them paired up with Lana Star. Lana is going for a hostile takeover of wow.

My sarcasm is nigh undetectable.

Huge agree, that ruled. Money promo for sure (plus Stone Cold bonus points for 'beady-eyed husband')

I have a rabbit hole theory that it was because Linda going to be selected as the leader of the SBA by Trump. Roman was suspended in 2016, right before the election time. All I can think is that they wanted to cross all their Ts and dot their Is to make sure nothing could come under fire. Maybe even makes her/the company look better saying "see, we don't care if it's even our biggest star. We care about integrity (lol, i know)". I know its an out there theory that probably isn't true, but looking at WWE landscape in 2016 that's the best I can think of.

A job where you work all year, are underpaid compared to other athletes, and are probably constantly injured or hurt in some way vs let me take this 30 second video where I show a little nipple, and charge over $100. Then I’m gonna go hang out in my hot tub in a live stream later where I’ll get something like $700 in tips. Might be short term, but it’s a very lucrative short term. A lot more than pro wrestling.

I would guess that in this case, the WWE contract ended up being the extra side money. Good for this person. She can make bank without scrambling her brains taking bumps.

I actually really dig this idea, and it's a nice, linear tie-in to the partnership NJPW had with the old ROH administration (though I know things didn't end on the best terms after the Garden). Alleviates a lot of my concerns about talent sharing, making the show different from AEW both visually and in mission, having the age old 'developmental vs standalone brand' conversation, etc. If I was surveyed, I'd say this is the second-best option available for ROH as things currently stand (I still think the #1 best option is to just make it a better Dark and tape two one hour 'AEW: Ring of Honor' episodes before a live Rampage every week).

If territories existed for longer post-1987, we could have had numerous wrestlers claiming to be ex-NFL because they were backup scabs. Like how multiple guys claimed they were gonna make the 1980 Olympic team.

The tag league final was truly great, but holy smokes, that super junior tag final was fucking bananas.

Every title can be defended on both shows except the TBS AND TNT titles that stay on those networks. Dynamite w/ Excaliber, Taz on commentary, JR/Tony/etc rotating third man part of the time. No one is better at MJF disgust than Tony. MJF, Wardlow, Cargilll, Sasha Banks, Toni Storm, Saraya, Thunder Rosa, Mercedes Martinez, The Firm, House of Black, PAC, Omega, Bucks, The Acclaimed, Danielson, Yuta, Jungle Boy, Darby, Sting, Swerve, Riho, Bandido, Dark Order, Emi Sakura, Kingston, Ortiz, Butcher, Blade, Bunny, Hook, Absolute Ricky, Luchasaurus. Keith Lee, Hangman, Top Flight, Red Velvet, Christian, Rampage w/ Excaliber, Daddy Magic and Chris Jericho on commentary Punk, Samoa Joe, Claudio, FTR, Moxley, Miro, Deeb, Adam Cole, O’ Reilly, Shida, Lucha Bros, Hype Man, Dalton Castle & the Boys, Statlander, DMD, Athena, Hayter, Rebel, Powerhouse Hobbs, Los Ingobernales, Soho, Briscoes, Sammy, Tay, Anna Jay AS, Cool Hands, Garcia, Big Jake, Danhausen, Orange Cassidy, Best Friends, Takeshita, Kip, Penelope, Abadon, Varsity Blonds, Private Party, Willow, The Hardys, The Factory,

I reealllly hope that's a drawing of a ratings chart.
