Now to wonder who MJF will play in the Von Erichs movie ...
I've read in two places that he's playing cousin Lance, which is pretty epic. I was hoping for Brian Adi(d)as but this exceeds expectations.

I believe that Cornette mentioned turning down Vice on his podcast
I want a show where the host mentions news he heard that were pretty blatantly on other peoples podcasts
HE mentioned turning down A&E, not Vice.

Is this just because he missed class last week?

TK making a Waynestock reference seals him either being in character all along or being on drugs. Or both.
While touting the Northeast area as a wrestling hotbed, Khan said it’s truly the “crown jewel” of wrestling markets, taking a subtle dig at WWE’s annual October pay-per-view.
“We’re running a lot of great shows around the Northeast, it’s so many great wrestling markets in one geographic region. And the — hey, I’ll say it, the crown jewel of wrestling markets — the real crown jewel of wrestling markets, not some BS overseas in Saudi Arabia. The real crown jewel of wrestling markets, New York City, is where you want to be, and I love, love, love, New York.”
Khan then compared Grand Slam to the “Waynestock” event in 1993’s Wayne’s World 2. While the concert in the film faced several problems, Khan said fans should expect plenty of highlights from AEW this week.
“If there’s still an opportunity to come on Wednesday night and you’re a wrestling fan in New York, you do not want to miss this. It is going to be, I believe — have you guys seen Wayne’s World 2? This is going to be like my Waynestock. I’ve been through a lot lately and gone through a lot, I’m telling you, it’s going to come together and it’s going to be like Waynestock. It’s going to be that one perfect night in New York City this Wednesday night. Expect a lot and you shall not be disappointed, I promise.”

Here's a navel-gazer for ya:
If you were in Ronnie Garvin's shoes in 1987, knowing what we all know now, would you have said yes to the world title run?
I mean, for the rest of your life you could legitimately claim that you were NWA World Heavyweight Champion, that you beat Flair for the belt, that you main evented Starrcade going up against Survivor Series... You could have a picture of yourself wearing the 20 pounds of gold on your living room wall as a conversation piece...
Or if you are a more humble person, you'd still have that memory of the crowd marking out and all the boys coming to the ring to celebrate with you.
But, at the same time, you'd be remembered as (one of) the worst NWA champion(s) of all time, everybody who really knows wrestling would be well aware that it was kind of a nothing reign just to set up a Flair win at Starrcade...
I'd guess most of us would have said yes. Probably jumped at the chance. Better to have been a placeholder world champion for two months than never have been there at all, right?
And Garvin was 42 at that time, so it must have felt like that was his one and only chance at it.
I remember my girlfriend at the time really marking out for Garvin's win. I think the build to it was pretty darned good, with Garvin training so hard. They may have built some "one and only chance real-life feeling into it as well.
I marked out at the time because it was the first time in my young wrestling fandom that I really did think people could get elevated out of nowhere after seeing the world title matches rotate between Hawk, Dusty, and Nikita for a while before that. I was pissed, though, that my guy Barry Windham got pushed aside for Ron Garvin.

Beth Phoenix is leaving NXT after WarGames. To focus on her family.
From the way she's been pushing it, it sounds like seeing MSK meet the shaman is all that's left for her in NXT.

Jericho vs Juvy was alright when they were just wailing on each other, but all the flying and lucha stuff was fugly. Not sure if Juvy is a full-time active wrestler these days but they looked like they weren't on the same page with a lot of stuff. Finish looked good at least and Jericho does look like an old, tired, beat up guy right now, which is fitting for the story.
That spot where Jericho reversed the top rope rana into what looked like a botched Styles Clash and ended up in the Walls was concerning.

I'm now assuming this was in reference to Ric Flair?
That's my guess as well. I assumed it was Keith Lee at first but now I figure it's the Ric thing.

Not really IN AEW, they said the match vs. the winner of Hikuleo/Archer would take place in Japan. Just being on TV for now, though, was pretty boss.

Give Dick Togo the shot against Takagi.

The good: Cameron Grimes continuing to make the most of his butler role, Theory's part in the domestic strife.
The bad: Odyssey dropping Chase, everything else.

I'm wondering if Joe turns heel and it's revealed that Regal can't fire Joe, setting up a long-term Joe vs. Regal (non-wrestling) storyline rather than Joe-Kross. Kross will most likely be on the roster next Monday since he's the only Kross/Cross now that Nikki is almost a superhero.

Between his clothing being so disheveled and a little stagger in his step down the ramp, I thought Lashley was supposed to be drunk when he came out at the end.

The Tommy End thing is a direct product of Excalibur once again stepping on a debut and making it worse with his know it all shtick.
That's how I felt at the time, but after seeing the vignette Excalibur's commentary made more sense. He's basically saying that Malakai Blacks is the evolution of Tommy End, which does sell the character. It's still not great, but it's not as bad as it was when he initially said it with no context.

Khan supposedly only had the meeting this morning about who was to be fired. And it was already mentioned previously that he doesn't care about what's planned as in storylines, so I doubt he gave anyone in NXT a four day head start.
Interesting. It feels like such a thrown-together group (especially since all of the talk was that Suzuki was strictly there to train) that this would have helped make sense of it.

Sorry if already posted but just ready Bollywood Boys are gone, along with Arturo 'oh I thought he would be in the DIamond Mine' Ruas.
I really wonder if the Roddy/Suzuki/Rust grouping was a last-minute audible in advance of Ruas's release.

This was my guess as well but we'll have to see how bad his injury from last night's
house showNon-premium Live Event is. My original thought was that Sami and KO go after the tag belts but Sami might have actually outgrown that plan now.
