I'm so fucking tired of hearing about Punk. I do find it funny that this is supposedly all on AEW, yet Punk is the miscreant who can't stop taking little petulant potshots at every opportunity. Outside of Goldberg, i genuinely can't think of another wrestler I have the level of disdain for as I do Punk and it's been since the ROH days. All sides just need to shut up and move on. Punk is an overrated hack who had a temper tantrum and TK was a child as a boss and didn't handle anything properly. It's time for everyone to move on. AEW has to right the ship and Punk has to find someone to carry him like Drew did or a next level storyline to glom onto like he did with the Bloodline.

I saw their cage match live, it was fn awesome.

What a fn awesome episode of dynamite. I have little hope it would happen, but please, please, please let Anna Jay upset Mercedes. It's obvious how much work she's put in and she's gotten so much better. Definitely co sign the sentiment that AEW should send people on excursions to get better in ring while they're not utilized on TV. I don't have to say this, but im going to to.....Hangman is one of the best characters going in AEW, from beginning of the promotion to current. It makes so much sense if he beats Mox as he's the only one to have Moxs numbers in their meetings(still calling back that i think he is the only person in AEW to make Mox tap out)

Brady talking about penalizing Quarterbacks is as laughable as Runyan chastising people for being dirty.

I'll probably be the high voter on the womens match, but while I understand why others didn't like it, I watched it with my daughter who thinks Io is the absolutely greatest wrestler on the planet(her and Thunder Rosa), so her reaction to the match added some extra grace from me. She also became a Tiffany Stratton fan after seeing it. I have to admit, between WWE and NXT, their womens roster is just incredible.

Kaiser/Bron/Sheamus was my MOTN and I hope they run it back. Kaiser was someone I overlooked at first, but he definitely has grown on me and I wouldn't mind him sneaking out a victory for a belt sooner than later

This right here. Everything she is doing, has done in this angle has put her into a specific niche that AEW doesn't have right now.

So now Bloodline v Bloodline has turned into Punk/Roman with Paul Heyman dangling. What a shock.

I should put in the WWE missed opportunities, though they can still rectify, i think Rhea should be treated like Chyna was and engage with the men.

I love Marina for a few reasons, but if you watch the cut of "that" promo with the Twin Peaks music over it, it is the greatest thing ever and for that alone, I'm a fan.

With all of hte Ricky Starks talk, I said this in another thread. Not giving Hobbs/Starks a tag title run. Fur coat Hobbs with turtleneck, swank Ricky was a hell of a presentation

While I don't necessarily like "freezing out" wrestlers, I wonder what is preferable. Being frozen out before a contract ends, or being made to look like an absolute asshole/joke(Dean Ambrose before he left WWE is a prime example). I'm not saying one way or the other is good or bad, ro company A is better than B, but it's an interesting conversation. Editing to say that I was curious what was going to happen with the Ambrose/Nia Jax interactions

I'm firmly convinced TK could cure cancer and people would still shit all over him. I see the billionaire's kid argument, but I'll say that he's gone out of his way to keep people paid/employed during the pandemic, paid for Jimmy Havoc to go to rehab before he released him and has gone above and beyond to take care of his talent and workers. He might be an asshole, but the actual wrestlers/workers who have come out against him and implied/said as much, extremely minimal and from people who already have a history of being difficult/malcontents. I'll take the working man's asshole over the billionaire kid asshole, sure, but this doesn't seem to be much of the case if you look at the history of AEW. Personally, I have no use for Ricky Starks. That ONE promo against MJF aside, he really hasn't moved the needle for me personally but he definitely seems to be someone that buys into his own hype. The best thing I can say is something that can easily be placed in the missed opportunities thread. His run as a team with Powerhouse Hobbs was criminally short and should've had them as tag champs

I definitely like that the Death Riders angle seems to be escalating now from mid-card (outside of OC and Darby) to legit main event targets like Hangman and Jay White. I thought White sold the Shafir choke like death and the visual of him sprawled out with the blood splatters from Jericho/Ishii in the ring was great.

lol, i know it was a Raylan quote, but someone applied it to Starks and it fit.

Someone on this board said it before, and i apologize I don't remember who Starks comes across as one of those "If you meet an asshole in the morning, you just met an asshole. If you meet assholes all day, you're the asshole"

After Bubba, now Bischoff, I wouldn't bat an eye right now if they announced Cornette was making a guest spot somewhere.

Looks like Bischoffs nonstop "I shit on AEW every chance I get" has resulted in employment.

As much as I love pro wrestling, like most entertainment platforms, it is full of people with incredibly fragile egos.

You're right, lol, I didn't even think about that.

I couldn't agree with this more and also, calling someone a junkie over "reading something on Reddit" is fucking gross in and of itself. Hearsay is bad enough, reddit hearsay is even worse.

Oh glorious, more "he said, she said" fodder that basement trolls can leech onto with their weird obsession with trashing everything AEW/Tony Khan does.

I don't mind musicals all that much, but Happiness of the Katukuris and Repo! The Genetic Opera are definitely worth the price of admission as far as musicals go.

All Dmitri stuff, outside of a cover of Ministry's Just One Fix and the "Come to Daddy" Aphex Twin Cover. The crowd was absolutely batshit and 43% Burnt tore the house down as the final song. Absolutely a blast.

Absolute homerun on this. My only minor complaint is a personal one that i won't get Mortos/Brody but that can be remedied down the line. King/Ospreay is going to melt my face off in the best way and im here for it.
