COLETTI

They love debuting people in these matches just to have them not win it so I predict Alex Windsor in the women's gauntlet.

I own both the original PS4 version and the PS5 Director's Cut and both were free via something PS+ related. Maybe you've got the PS5 version as an option, free upgrade or something? Take a look, you never know...

I've said it before, as have others, but with the amount of lucha libre we've had on AEW shows, they should embrace lucha trios rules so those matches can be exciting sprints that get 6 dudes on TV. Also, have a team of luchadores win it at some point and defend it in Mexico and abroad.

Not to detract completely from your valid points, but Ibushi is literally a member of that roster - he signed, got the ...is ALL ELITE graphic, and is listed on the roster page online. This doesn't mean it's a good signing or was at the time, sure, but they're already paying him.

I haven't watched live in a couple weeks, haven't even seen anything from last week but I will be tuned in tonight!

Rumorzzzz~! are that Mortos and Moné are an item.

Sound logic, but these days the only thing that matters is the shareholders see number go up. Number go up is the only thing that matters, and none of the investors consider AEW a legit threat so Mysterio briefly bumping interest won't mean much as long as the profit machine rolls on. If, for any reason, number don't go up? They'll just cut expenses more. Nobody's safe.

I wonder at what point TKO decides that most of those Legends contracts aren't bringing in enough extra pennies for the shareholders.

The day before Pride month, too. These kinds of dangerous bigots are feeling quite emboldened, after all...

Another good week - keep this train rolling!

The fact that he got another go-around and payday is wild so good for him.

Why the living fuck is Del Toro's "Frankenstein" coming out in November?!?! We need to hunt down these streaming execs with torches and pitchforks out of pure principal.

Thus we return to the cycle that helped create AEW - WWE buying up all the talent leading to disgruntled current employees who are pushed out of sight/TV time and leave when their contracts come up for better pastures (or are let go and get a fire under their ass).

Give a raise to whomever was in the production truck directing for the main event - absolutely added to the stellar fucking match with those long unbroken shots. Fuck yeah AEW rules the motherfucking WORLD.

This times a billion

This is the kind of message I've been waiting for, as somebody who also loved 2016 and went right into Eternal and absolutely didn't dig it.

I still love the hardcore bands I grew up with and yet my favorite shirt to wear is my Blondie tank top. Crazy fucking concept!

One thing I've loved about AEW is them bringing in people for short runs or one-shots, which is something the only other widely televised promotion didn't dare do for yeeeeeeears. They've cut down on it a lot in the last year or two but hey, Rhino~!!!

While I find it weird that this conversation happens every time there's a few releases and despite that AEW has never signed every name out there, I'm also willing to give most anybody a chance to try something new and come on over. Not everybody's gonna be a home run but why not see what could happen? Toni Storm has been mentioned a few times and while I've always been a fan and had high hopes for her, NOBODY could have predicted how amazing she'd end up being with this character. ...but also sign every one of them if it means no money for fucking Gabe Kidd /wishfulthinking

Toni Storm adding the cross-face chicken wing to her arsenal makes me unbelievably happy!!!

Wasn't Daniel Makabe retiring as well? Or already retired? That would be a really stellar match for them both to come out for one banger in the name of our beloved DEAN~!

My wife's encouraging me to drive to the September show. We shall see... Funnily enough, she'll have flown out to AZ from NH the week before that one. If it fell in line with her time out there, I'd say fuck it and head out with her.

I rarely watch live but Brody King/Will Ospreay vs Josh Alexander/Konuske Takeshita should stomp serious ass.

I don't think there's ever been an easier day one purchase for me, godDAMN.

I haven't read every word of response to this news, but the AAA purchase means WWE now has all the gimmicks/names associated, right? So Penta could go back to Pentagon Jr, Fenix can drop the Rey, etc. Hopefully those guys have solid copyrights of their own "names" because I'd imagine WWE will be much more violently litigious than AAA could've been. LA Park might wanna drop that hood ASAP
