TNA can give you Sting vs Flair footage of you really need it.

No idea where to park this, but I have a few of these burning a hole in the DVR right now…

Copeland’s Maple Leafs/Brodie shirt was cool. IIRC, there was talk of the WWE fantasy hockey league on the E&C pod, and Christian characteristically came off as a dick. Good stuff.

Who’s gonna be Sting’s partner? Because they’ve made it fairly clear Sting isn’t interested in working a singles match. Honestly, Matt Koon (podcast co-host for Dax and Regal) has been calling the Bucks for the Sting finale, so I was kinda excited when they showed up.

I feel like a fool for thinking she was going to throw down with the Stinger.

What more do you need than Connery’s fit from Zardoz?

Stealing Jericho’s gimmick.

There are bankruptcy rumors about the studio that just put out the biggest movie of the year, anything is possible! Keep an open mind! Maybe Wembly 2 is Tony’s The Flash!

Tony’s gonna lose Best Booker this year but win Best Promotor!

Claudio vs Hangman is one of those match combos they should have been doing a version of every week on TV when they were doing BCC vs Elite. But better late than never. Now do Nick Jackson vs Yuta. Honestly, no complaints about any of the matches this week, and there’s potential for some fun interactions in the eight person tags. This is good!

Saw some speculation on Twitter that this is being moved to premiere at Cannes, but as you said who knows.

New Paul Thomas Anderson movie coming from Warner. Leonardo DiCaprio, Regina Hall, and Sean Penn to star.

Garbage like that where they were being actively antagonistic against their audience contributed to creating a market space for AEW to exist. We don’t need to pretend that was good because Tony has decided to be very silly on TwiXter again.

Saw some previews for that Clive Owen show that left no impression it was a Sam Spade show from the Queen’s Gambit people. Now that I know, I’ll be watching. In other news, Carrie Coon has been cast in the third season of White Lotus. All hail Zaslav.

Serious question: Was there really backlash over the prospect of Joe vs Hook? I’ve literally seen none. Some people seem excited. Where is he even scrolling?

Tony’s right, Jinder needs a win, they should switch the belt.

Oh for sure if they’re gonna go in on getting a TV property on the big screen, this would be the one. I’m not as worried about this as say the untitled Filoni project. I just find the timing curious with them realizing how much D+ has diluted so many properties. But yeah, this won’t do as bad as Marvels numbers.

After seeing the returns on the Marvels, you’d think Disney wouldn’t be so eager to push more chips in on film projects that demand some pre-knowledge of D+ shows. Of course it’s been so long since they managed to deliver one of their many announced movies in this part of their portfolio, so maybe there’s enough demand for big screen Star Wars to push this thing to Solo numbers.

Bombed as hard as any awards show host I’ve ever seen. He should be thankful the ratings for these things are so poor.

That’s still up.

In hindsight, everybody probably should have bought a ticket to Black Adam.

I feel seen. Thank you.

They can probably look at the fact that they employed him for however long without much real punching and shrug and tell themselves it’s the other place and they’ll be fine.

There’s plenty to knock Tony for, but he handled this well in public. Didn’t knock him, didn’t humiliate him, didn’t bury him while he was very obviously on the way out. Put him over at the presser without prompt. By promoter standards, fairly classy. Now onto what he could have had
