AEW avoided TNA's cliche of "invading faction from another company that we can't legally say" for a few years, but The Outcasts aren't any better than the worst of those Four Pillars joining forces as a Four Horsemen clone is within the realm of possibility depending on how sad things get

If MJF is legit gone next year, it'll be funny to see if "Four Pillars" are ever mentioned again or if that term quietly gets memory-holed

Do you think Tony Khan is above lying to Meltzer so that his shop looks less sloppy, given that every single word out of his mouth is nothing but positive spin? The only non-passive thing the guy has ever done is be cunty towards Big Swole on Twitter

They're restructuring the entire company because Phil and the Bucks hurt each other's egos, and neither side wants to be perceived as "the bad guy" In truth, both parties are damaged goods now and there's plenty of blame to go around for that

I could easily see the Toronto crowd turning on Punk at Forbidden Door, so that's going to be really interesting - he gets the hero's welcome in Chicago, then a few days later steps into Bizarro World. I wonder if they keep him off Forbidden Door for that reason.

I'm of the opinion "go with the hot hand and worry about the fallout after". Luger took 4 years to recover from the Yokozuna loss, and by then he was in another company - now Cody's walking around with a martyr complex and trying to simulate his Dad's career (wanting a Bullrope match with Lesnar is especially cringey). If he never wins the big one in WWE and ends up back in AEW as their world champion, he'll have successfully followed the Dusty/Luger formula. But it seems like such a waste given all the momentum he had.

All I can think of is Rush and LA Park must have some gentleman's agreement to hold off on a Lucha de Apuestas match until Park's ready to retire Because they've both been ducking it for years now

I would *hope* the show gets headlined by Speedball vs. Ospreay since that was supposed to happen at the first Multiverse United before Ospreay's injury I could see Bully Ray lobbying for a match with Tanahashi since it's the ECW Arena

You have to remember too that right before Flair came in, Vince wanted to bring in Mike Rotunda as Michael Wallstreet before having a brainfart like he did with Marc Mero and realizing he couldn't use his WCW gimmick for legal reasons. I'm guessing Money Inc. was originally going to be "The Million Dollar Men" or something along those lines. Vince had a knack for taking gimmicks on their last legs and saying "LET'S MAKE TWO OF EM!", notably The Natural Disasters, The Mounties/Quebecers and The SuperModels (Martel and Callis).

Canadian fans have to pay $20/month for TSN+ if they want to watch Collision

Tony low-balled KENTA and it looks like the match is off

Bix was begging people on Twitter to give him a ride to the GCW show in Atlantic City last week, so I think he still hasn't realized that getting an actual job would be a more efficient use of his time

I'm thinking along the lines of Nick Bockwinkel, who was 60 when he joined WCW as Commissioner Moving Sting into that role after he retires would probably be the easiest thing to do Commissioner Borden

I'm sure all the paperwork Punk had to sign included "no unapproved promos" Highly doubt he's ever getting a live mic ever again without clearing everything ahead of time

If you're going to let MJF rip the babyfaces a new asshole, don't have the babyface standing in the ring with him during promos Tonight felt like that RAW promo from years ago where CM Punk ripped on Kevin Nash, but at least they weren't both in the ring for that Like when the Pillars did their promos together a few weeks ago - why not have one at ringside, one on the ramp, one standing on a table, and one in the ring. By having them all within spitting distance it was just silly. No one with any balls would have just stood there.

Well technically...
