Apparently, per SRS (I think it was him), the plan is for Gunther to be John Cena's final opponent.

Without speculating TOO MUCH about it, I do wonder if its a recurrence of his concussion issues. He missed a LONG time a while back and, to his credit and also possibly detriment, he wrestled like a guy who didn't have concussion problems taking a lot of hard bumps (That Fletcher botched power bomb on the apron for instance) and I wonder if it caught up to him. Wishing him the best!

I actually think those two reuniting as singles partners wouldn't be the worst thing, haha. Realistically, neither has really fluorished without the other, though, admittedly, I enjoyed Max Caster's Open Challenge run. Also, what sign was Tazz talking about where he said it replaced "Founding Fathers with Founding....and that wasn't very nice." It either got bleeped up here in Canada, or some background in-ring swearing got bleeped, I can't figure out which. Lastly, I'd just like to point out how insane AEW programming has been in Canada. We got Dynamite right from the start on TSN (Think Canadian ESPN), TSN also got the rights to Rampage and later Collision but would only show them when the shows were in Canada, the only way you could watch them would be to subscribe to TSN+ (So even though you have TSN through whatever your cable package is, you'd have to pay again for it!). This past January, the big cable provider Roger's announced it was bringing the USA Network to Canada but it's a Canadian version of the USA Network (LOTS of 'Highway Through Hell'!). Now USA just paid big bucks to feature Smackdown, but all WWE programming in Canada is now the property of Netflix, so even though USA is the home of Smackdown, in Canada you can only watch it on Netflix. Even more bizarre is that as soon as USA Network premiered in Canada, it immediatey became the home for...AEW Collision, running live on Saturday Nights. So the home of Smackdown in the US, is the home of WWE's rival company in Canada. And, further adding to the weirdness, the Canadian USA Network also run some WWE content shows like 'WWE's Greatest Moments: Celebrities of the 80s' and 'WWE's Greatest Moments: WCW' on Thursday nights which means on certain occasions, such as next Thursday, 'AEW Collision' is followed up by the above two WWE shows and will likely even be pre-empted by AEW going over. It's the weirdest thing ever.

He's almost got this over-the-top TRYING to sell either gimmick so hard feel to him, that I'd like to see him pivot to being a health and wellness influencer (Like that one that went viral where the guy soaked his face in expensive bottled water) who is so overly trying to sell you on what a great person/role model he is that the crowd turns on him. Have him brag about getting up early to go to the gym and how disappointed he is that people can't maintain his standards. I think he'd be better as a delusional heel who acts eartnes than an actual earnest babyface, IMO.

Would it be too much of an on-the-nose joke if at the end it was revealed the AI he was using was just this guy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-1_(wrestler)

Has anyone been following this Karrion Cross can't take a back bump trend on the ol' Twiter? Kinda fascinating.

In Jericho's book he says that Gedo was booked to come in and defeat him in a one-off match and Jericho went to someone (Terry Taylor? Bischoff? I forget whom) and wondered why he was being booked to lose to a guy who wasn't going to be staying in WCW and said booker agreed with him. So they changed the result to Jericho winning. He says that when he went up for the frankensteiner, Gedo (Whom Jericho was supposedly friendly with and had teamed with in WAR (?!)) inexplicably gave him a two-handed shove to the chest as he was performing the move which caused him to land on his head. Jericho (whose mother was paralyzed in an accident with her boyfriend) had an elevated fear of paralysis and leapt to his feet after the fall and continued the match but I think he made reference to feeling like he'd suffered an injury in the spot and probably shouldn't have. He doesn't mention talking to Gedo afterwards or any more clarification on what happened so, as an armchair, uh, wrestling guy, I have a feeling Gedo was told he was going over, then found out Jericho had talked them into changing the outcome and was maybe a wee bit annoyed with Jericho and gave him the shove, just as a dick-ish heel move not realizing it would lead to Jericho almost killing himself. I have no information to back that up, just making a guess.

What was the deal here?! Why does the crowd hate him so much? Did AEW know this? Seems weird to position him with a team of faces when the crowd detests him!

So someone explain this Jinder Mahal-Masada drama like I'm twelve...and also explain who Masada is?!

My friend watched a edited for TV 'Kill Bill' one time and he claims the dialogue was changed to "My name is Buck and I came to...PARTY", then after Uma escapes his clutches, she looks dismissively at his car that has been edited to read 'Partymobile' and spits "Partymobile!" and my friend said "What DOES this woman have against partying?!" (I never saw this, so I can't vouch for its veracity but it's one of my favourite stories of his aside from the time he said "Movies" into his remote control and a message came up on the screen saying "Will not comply with searches for terms like this "P*SSY" just as his wife walked in and he was going "I honestly did not say that!")

Ewww

Bizarre. Was so smooth when I posted a few hours ago and now back to the reload.

FWIW the site was almost unusable last night (Every single thing I clicked had to be refreshed at least once, even if I was going forward a page in the same thread!). But today it's faster than ever! Smooth sailing!

I ADORE this song. I always loved the line "money to pay for all the days I lived awake but half asleep". Somehow I didn't really discover it until mid-2000-2005 when I saw it on a retro music video channel. Great choice!
