Part of me thinks this is the start of a poorly done Daniel Bryan or Kofimania attempt. Get the millions of RhodesScholars begging for him to cash in his Royal Rumble chip to make it a three way. He just needs to take on mr positivity, HHH, beforehand.

Wrestling has only one royal family

Rock gonna Rock. WWE gonna WWE.

Please keep suggesting/ predicting dream matches!

So is a Cown a Cow Gown and was Danielson responsible for this misspelling?

Thanks friend! I’m aiming to watch that again or another match soon! love you Matt. Thanks for the kind words. Aiming at getting myself Taco Bell with extra creamy jalapeño sauce and a side of shrimp larva.

I’ll always have Kingston vs Punk. Net positive.

EDIT: how the hell did I end up in this thread?! ugggh. Must See Matches is a fun podcast even though I often disagree with their critiques. sorry folks.

I think the issue was less whether he could or could not say anything regarding the lawsuit but the poor optics of your executive saying “I haven’t read it” and “I don't even want to get bugged down in the negatives, just want to focus on the positives." Not a great look, BUT to his credit he did say “Everything possible. And that is a very important thing to us, a very important topic to us. It’s as simple as everything possible” when asked about what they do to keep workers safe, which I would say comparatively to what else he said was a better answer. It’s a near lose-lose situation that requires a heartfelt response by a much better an tactful orator to skillfully manage. Saying that, these are allegations of human trafficking and rape. I don’t care if the executives representing that company are in a situation to look good or not. We need to make sure that truly evil individuals do not have the power within that company to once again be able to ruin innocent lives. That’ll come hopefully with the court case and pressure from fans and press to make right and fix the broken system. Sorry for the quoting. I’m riled up and continued what you were saying.

When he says it’s time to play the Game it’s likely not a sudoku or a word puzzle.

Wait, do we know if HHH can read? Maybe we’re jumping to conclusions.

Cody for EVP of Wrestling? Finish the Story.

HHH - Handles Harassment Horribly please, no standing applause. We got not have so much time and let the other posters get an opportunity to post. Save your loud cheering and whooping for the end.

I’m so screwed, guys

Holy smokes that’s the type of typo that could get me killed!!!! Please don’t show Willie Mack!!!!!!!!

Wait, did Tony Khan in an Afro wig and sunglasses address a sexual assault allegation during a press conference better than HHH? Is TK for better or worse the presser GOAT?!

Yeah, no idea if it was a *BOTCH!!!!!!! or a planned failed move. But it worked perfectly with the story they ended up telling.

Long day but caught Collision on a dvr type recording. Very good wrestling television show. The type of fun variety I like. OC vs Komander reminded me of a fun CHIKARA match. Technical lucha with fun gimmicks and shenanigans sprinkled in. Two women’s matches! Look at that. Tony comes through. Deebs is awesome. Glad she is back. Excited for her to mix it up in high profile matches. Kingston vs Mack was ugly delicious. Classic Eddie underdog but King Road Tributing his way through. I was worried about Willie for a second with him not backflip if and landing on his head, but they did a good job making it work because of the knee. Was very well played and made the match even better. Danielson is a prick and hates Eddie. Love it! Bryan Danielson vs Yuji Nagata I’m jotting down as a MOTYC. I absolutely adored this. Yuji still has it and was really getting me excited with his rising and lowering up and down the top rope. I will tell lil Octopus about this Danielson AEW run when he is older. Forgot to mention the opening tag. Good stuff. Cage Match was very fun. I liked the dynamic of starting outside of the cage, the swerve of thinking we’re getting Briscoe, and the actually getting a beat up Garcia. Who might I add sold wonderfully throughout the match. Daniel Garcia was a real highlight. I like the dynamics of teams where escaping can actually put your team in peril. The late part with Buddy climbing back up really made sense and added to it. I also don’t care as much for door usage, but it can be done well and I liked it here. You have to carry the momentum of the match and have everyone down or something. It worked even in the flawed way. The mist was cool. Loved the ending with a returning Mark. Good guys hug. They really feel like the Collision Crew. House of Black still look strong. In summation: Neat.

I’m watching Collision on tape delay and derped back in and out on the Rumble. Caught the ending. Very happy. Give me Cody vs Heyman and or Roman promos. only thing I saw other than some clips on Reddit. Is it worth watching in full later on?

Yup

Without the cute charts I don’t know if to panic or celebrate. I’m assuming my Penta was a big draw

Welcome to the Octopus Wild Speculation Station: This will be the Dawn of a New Era. A time un sullied by the stench of a McMahon. Oh wait, what is that entering the city gates on a humble donkey? Could it be? No. Is it? Yes! It’s Shane! As daddy falls, the son will rise. Shane McMahon has entered the title scene. Shane vs Seth vs CM Punk vs Gunther. The original plans of Gunther vs Brock has been thwarted. Until new revelations reveal that hiding for a month or so and then coming back powerful is something Nick Khan finds super cool. So we’ll see Brock over paid to interfere in the lesser title match so that Shane can win. Even though Shane didn’t need it, because everyone was already over selling his out of breath shitty punches. Bruce resigns from the company and returns to TNA. He convinces Josh Alexander to wrestle a more Hogan style. The Rock rises quickly to prominent power where he Black Adam’s the WWE both on the screen and in the boardroom. Cody wins the Royal Rumble but faces the Rock for the title shot which he loses do to Drew (dropped to just his first name in honor of the fallen Vince) interfering. Drew and Cody face at WrestleMania and Drew wins just before leaving the company. The Rock will push out his former bully, HHH, and his best buds. More info about HHH knowing stuff becomes apparent so the world is happy with his release. Rock will be out of breath but still beat Roman at WrestleMania. He’ll then hand the title to Jey Uso like Andre and the Million Dollar Man which will nullify the title and create a new tournament that the Rock will win. The new WWE creative voices will be a very highly paid Brian Gewirtz, Paul Heyman (who has assistants he tricks to do his work by offering g to buy them chicken sandwiches), Jeremy Borash, Abyss, and Eric Bischoff who will spend most his day in catering. Shawn Michaels remains head of NXT as he transitions and trains CM Punk to be the new dad to the newbies. CM Punk brings in Ace Steel who is quickly let go for biting related incidents. In a shocking move, Regal AND HHH join AEW staff. The new AEW helpers to Tony Khan are the Four Horsemen of the Levesque - HHH, Flair, Regal, and Roaddog. The signing of Roaddog leads to the release of Dax Harwood who will have a singles career as the new NWA Champion. Cash Wheeler joins the BCC (replacing Danielson who is around less) and has more gun related incidents that are overlooked. Danielson has about 2 AEW matches a year and 2 non-AEW matches with a random company for the next few years. Drew regains his last name as he joins Nic Nemeth in TNA. Through Bruce’s leadership, they have a long feud as a tag team against Josh Alexander-Hogan and Moose. Bully Ray leaves TNA for the open position of WWE’s Head of Talent Relation. Before every meeting with talent he goes over how he isn’t a pussy and doesn’t do fucking weak shit and he’s old school and not gonna put up with pussy shit. He helps bring back EC3. Eric Bischoff in a rare brilliant move comes up with the idea of having a reality show of the New Day as neighbors and having fun family friendly related hijinks. Well, actually it was Greg Gagne that came up with it but Bischoff gets credit. Actually, it’s likely they’re both somehow making it up. But regardless, Booty-O’s become number 1 cereal. Vince McMahon mysteriously hangs himself in prison after the discovery of an island. Public pressure leads to more information eventually being leaked about who flew to the island. Nothing is done but a few people look bad as they awkwardly shrug it off. Linda McMahon becomes President of the United States of America. Housing Market in the USA crashes. Nick Khan leaves the Wrestling Division of TKO to form the new Housing Division. WWE makes a deal with Netflix to buy up newly foreclosed homes and become the leading force of overpriced homes. Built in WiFi and Prime Energy dispensers come in every home. TV’s the size of walls in every room. You can watch the big fight everywhere. Violence on television is even more so the new norm. Watch faces being pummeled and arms being bent. Yet when blood shows up we cut to black because we’re not monsters. The payment of these homes is mandated to be made without trouble. So you have to register how many kids you can afford with your new employment under TKO’s new CNC and Manufacturing Fivision where you make and distribute ring and octagon parts. You are sterilized and have very seeds of your favorite wrestlers pumped into the stomached of constantly fresh Lamb carcasses that replaced the female human’s womb. You can have your own little baby Baron Corbin or Carlito as long as the numbers are within what you are allowed to allocate yourself. Don’t strand away from what you are allowed. Don’t resist. Conform to the new TKO reality. TKO loves you and if you don’t love TKO you will be put down. Resistance is futile. Embrace the new TKO. Your new leader in Existence. Then. Now. Forever. Obey.

“I ate a steak sandwich before that match, pal. Then I listened to people FARRRRRT. Look how jacked I am. I fucking love steak sandwiches.”
