evidence

I'm not as down on Jericho as most people online appear to be these days, but I believe that he needs to take some real time off. After being squashed by Hobbs and then later losing to Takeshita by his own submission hold like he's Kerry Von Erich against Taurus Bulba, it felt like Jericho being written off so he could freshen up his character. I appreciate the fact that he didn't get his wins back. Since he doesn't appear to be going anywhere, he should be used to put over Shane Taylor who's overdue a win outside of ROH.

I noticed that Sting's run in AEW has led to a lot of people who didn't consider him great to re-evaluate their stance. I feel like the blame people would often place on Sting about how he wasn't a draw is finally being rightly placed on the incompetence in WCW (ex. Mike Sempervive on F4W and Kris Zellner on the Between The Sheets podcast both talking about how WCW's issues with attracting fans wasn't any fault of Sting's). Sting and Bret Hart were my all-time favorites and I'm happy that Sting was not only able to get a retirement on a grand stage but also get what I felt was universal praise from the fans and people in the wrestling industry. It's great that he had a promoter who was willing to allow him to go out on his own terms (I know there was talk that he wanted to lose the last match, but thankfully he was talked out of it). He could have retired when he got injured by Seth, but I'm glad that an injury didn't dictate the ending of his career like it did with Bret. He could have retired in 2009 when he put over AJ Styles at Bound For Glory or back in 2001 when WCW went under but his retirement and his career wouldn't received the recognition that it deserved.

He exposed the business by revealing that he was a man and not a shark on a 1996 episode of Nitro.

Marlo Stanfield is All Elite.

In late 2010 TNA, Doug Williams beat AJ Styles with the Styles Clash during on of their PPV matches for the TV title.

Now all I can think of is Luchasaurus eventually falling out with Christian Cage and having his version of the John Tenta "I'm not a shark, I'm not a fish, I'm a man" promo.

He's going to harass Jeff Jarrett about Jerry after the Nick Wayne storyline is done with and I'm sure he called Tony Khan to request a program with Mike Santana after watching his sit down interview talking about losing his father.

This is a match that should be in a steel cage.

I was kinda hoping with Hobbs on his way to going face that he'd end up trying to make amends with Starks because I always wanted them to get a run with the tag team straps together. I think Starks not heeling during the ceremony was just because Martha was there presenting the awards just like Cole/Britt last year. Now with Starks going heel, he goes from being the one I want to see as the next TNT champion to being one of guys I want to see end Orange Cassidy's reign whenever that time comes (Takeshita or Swerve in a rematch being the other). I thought Bullet Club Gold was winning so they could drop the belts to MJF/Cole.

Truth be told, I would be down for a 3 tier cage match. I know the rep is bad because of Hogan/Savage vs The Dungeon Of Doom & David Arquette, but I always loved the off the wall gimmick matches that WCW did just to do something different. Just no Chambers Of Horrors or Viagra on a Pole matches

And now I'm just sad that we never got an Eddie Kingston/Scott Steiner feud just for the promos.

I'm not with the WWE method of having 2 of whatever gimmick match (Elimination Chamber, Hell In The Cell) their PPV is named after so both can have one but I wouldn't mind having a 2nd Blood & Guts (since we are definitely going to get Elite vs BCC) with Punk/Starks/FTR vs White/Robinson/Guns (or 2 other people in their place) with Starks getting the big win for his team. If they're trying to keep White strong for Punk, then a Starks vs Christian/Luchasaurus feud for the TNT Title would be the best option, and much better than Wardlow going for the belt again just to lose it a month or two later.

AEW rules the motherfucking world!!!!

Same, today @ 38

Thinking of HBK's 2002 return and it makes me wonder how his in ring return would have been handled had Kevin Nash not torn his quad in July. At the time, Shawn's in the nWo with Kevin Nash, X-Pac, and Big Show and Kevin Nash. Nash cut a promo with an ultimatum that Triple H join the nWo, but there was never a response from HHH by the time Nash's injury took place. Do they go the route of having HHH turn heel and join with Nash or does the program end up being heel Nash (with HBK) vs face HHH? That also makes me wonder if HBK's in ring return ends up being a heel HBK vs HHH in a reverse of what we got at Summer Slam 2002.
