I feel like MJF vs Ospreay is a just stop along the way to Ospreay vs Don Callis Family in some way... Callis isn't going to just let Ospreay quit, we will be coming back to that. Maybe Don is bringing in Ricochet? 

We were having the same conversation in my house when we watched Collision on Monday, and both had the thought of MJF squadding up with the Callis guys to kinda kill two birds with one stone

Doing Anarchy in the Arena, Blood and Guts, and Stadium Stampede each year every year feels like overkill.

What would be interesting, however, is if they did let the women have Stadium Stampede this year and had team Mercedes + Stat vs team Britt and Willow.

I like the idea of having some of these gimmick match alternate by gender is an idea that WWE would be good to use instead of a men's and women's MITB/EC/Wargames (have Royal Rumble be two nights)

Mone, Stat, Saraya, Cameron & Anna Jay vs Willow, Britt, Rosa, Shida & Hayter

I'd go with Mone, Stat, Kamille, Bayne.... Saraya vs Willow, Britt, Rosa, Shida, Hayter.

But yours works too.

Skye Blue is not shy with a blade or a street fight, find room for her one of those teams…although it appears she’s been relegated back to ROH.

According to Meltzer Flair and Wooo Energy are both done with AEW.  He said the sponsorship "fell through".  I wondered how they ever had the money for it in the first place.  Felt pretty low rent all around.  Apparently no stores outside a few small regional chains actually carried it, it was really expensive to order online, and it looked fucking disgusting.  Tony would be drinking Monster or whatever when he's got the can in front of him on the desk. 

Where does this rank amongst shitty food/beverage related wrestling sponsorships?  It's certainly no SURGE

As for Flair I never liked bringing him in in the first place.  He's got so much baggage and I would feel sad and uncomfortable every time he showed up dating back to his many post-TNA WWE returns.  Hopefully Flair doesn't start grabbing headlines by shitting on AEW

Good riddance, Ric Flair.

I’m sure deep down TK is a Flair mark regardless of how much of a train wreck he is but the only reason it made sense for him to even bring him in is because of Sting. Sting is retired now so there wasn’t really any reason to use him anymore.

I mean I have no inside sources but my personal theory is TK gave Woooo a "sweetheart" deal because Sting really wanted Flair as part of his retirement run. Once Sting retired, TK had no need for Flair so either he ended the deal or asked for more money as part of it and Woooo Energy couldn't afford it. I didn't love Flair in AEW either but it clearly was at Sting's request and he rarely was on TV. But I didn't expect to see him again once Sting retired so this news isn't surprising to me.

No, other way around - Woooo paid AEW to put Ric Flair on TV. Per Tony Khan:

I don't think that contradicts what Kevin said, though. I should perhaps let him speak for himself, but my understanding was that the "sweetheart deal" meant that AEW charged Woooo a lot less than they normally would to promote Woooo's product on AEW's shows, specifically because Sting wanted Flair around.

I mean I think all energy drinks are vile. But I also drink black coffee (usually Guatemalan origin) thst most people think is brewed on the weaker side so maybe I’m not a good judge.

Does anyone kind of have an imperviousness to caffeine around here? I'll drink those white-can sugarfree Monsters once in awhile, or a Red Bull, or coffee in the morning (and I think Cafe Bustelo is supposed to be pretty strong), but I can do that and just fall asleep if I want.

I used to drink Red Bull all day and still be able to fall asleep. When you do as much yayo as I have, what's some caffeine going to do?

TK announced on Twitter that Ishii will be staying with AEW for the rest of summer, so Gordi will have at least some stuff to look forward to each week 😇

Beat me to it, my friend.

 

Cheers, my lads! It warms my heart that you thought of me when you heard that news. 

I am indeed fully stoked for The Summer of Ishii.

That's my wife, she can drink two coffees and then lay down for a nap.

If I have coffee after 1pm I won't fall asleep until 3am.

I think that was mostly a one-off to give her something to do because they were in her hometown on this past week's episode. But yeah she'd be my top pick for a Blood & Guts for sure.
