S.K.o.S.

So, they re-uploaded Dark with the Max Caster entrance removed. Strange that they would see the backlash in advance of it airing, still air it, and then go "oops" in the same night.

Some people on Twitter think Charlotte Flair shouldn't have mentioned Simone Biles in her promo. I read a recap - it seemed completely fine to me.

No idea. I was just thinking about "pay for the show + everything else on a streaming service" vs. "pay for only the show".

If I can actually watch this show before they run their next one, that's probably the biggest news of all. Edit: Looking at the speculation now... I would rather it be on Highspots than on Fite.

Right now it looks like it. SRS tweeted that he hasn't heard about anything else to come today.

Don't do it, Tony! *sees Tony's hand reaching for a contract and slaps it away*

I mean, the Page story still makes perfect sense to me. Dark Order told him not to be afraid of failure and that they'd stick with him even if he failed. With hindsight, for that moment to actually mean something, Page should probably fail at some point. Then he lost the 5-on-5 match, so he lost his title shot at All Out. "As soon as Page believed in himself and tried, he won the title" is imo not of good a story as "Kenny was also actually a really good wrestler and it took Page more than one try to beat him". Bonus points if there's some story element that shows us another change Page has to make in order to get the win. If Dark Order turns on Page, that's bad. If Kenny drops the title to anyone other than Page, that's bad. I don't think either of those things will happen. Whoever Kenny defends the title against at All Out, I see that as kind of a placeholder title defense. It might not even main event the show. If we go into another COVID lockdown and they put the story on ice again like they did last time, that's bad. That one is a real danger.

That rating wasn't hurt hardly at all by the Olympics. We're approaching the day when Dynamite beats Raw in 18-49 viewers.

Here's what I'm going with on the Hangman situation: - I don't think Hangman faces Kenny for the title at All Out. This has been a promotion where stipulations matter. Why have Page lose the title shot just to get it back a couple weeks later? I don't know what Omega or Page do at All Out, but I'm leaning towards Kenny not main eventing. - The whole idea from before was Dark Order telling Hangman that he shouldn't be afraid of failure, and they'll support him even if he fails. If that's the story, then he SHOULD fail at some point along the way. Dark Order will stick with him, and I think they're hoping that'll be a cue to fans that they should stick with Page too.

Oh, also, when the elimination tag got down to 3-on-1, I was thinking it'd be silly for Hangman to go through Kenny and both Bucks by himself - but still fully believed that's what was going to happen, like to the point where I even expected him to kick out of that One Winged Angel. Like I know AEW hasn't gone with the "overcome the odds" booking in the past, but I still thought they'd do it here. I guess I'm far from having them all figured out, is what I'm saying.

I might be a bit late with the Hangman talk, but I have 2 points: - People WERE wondering if Punk or Bryan being at All Out would overshadow a Hangman title win. (Granted, it looks like Punk will debut before then) - If they know Hangman won't be champion after All Out, it's better imo to cut it off now rather than have him lose at the ppv.

I tweeted about it! My tweet was: "I encourage everyone not to gif those syringe spots"

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think if Lauderdale said no more throwing stuff in the ring, pretty much all GCW fans would stop. Like, Cardona had to walk THROUGH the crowd to leave, and nothing bad happened. Those fans know where the line is. They're right up on the line, but they know not to cross it. Having said that, they announced Smart Mark Sterling will be addressing the crowd on behalf of Cardona at today's show, and I'm actually kind of worried for him.

If you look at the lower right of the picture in Natural's last post, it looks like there's an unopened, presumably full can of PBR. It would suck to get hit by one of those.
