I was shocked reading what he said, after having voluntarily worked with Scurll and Chaysn Rance I never pegged Kenny as someone who was bothered by grown men creeping on underage women >_>

I've said this before but I would not be shocked if Becky is heading for either a full or partial retirement as her last year or so very much has the feel of wrapping things up. Had the run as NXT champ facing the new women, got in the Nia feud finally, wrote a book and put over the new ace of the division at the big show of the year, has a couple months left on her contract and has a young kid at home? If she was wrapping things up to a degree... it would look a lot like this. -

The Aubrey bit is exactly what you said but... the fact they removed the footage from their own youtube vid would require the copyright strikes not coming from inside the house to be one hell of a coincidence. -
You may not believe this but I legit only looked up one WWE guy and one AEW guy, based on who generally seems to be wrestling the most. If I happened to guess the person who worked the most for each company then... well then I watch too much wrestling but that's neither here nor there. If anything that means my feel is probably about right, that the typical WWE guy in a given spot is working a bit more than the equivalent in AEW. Neither of them are working the old WWE schedule thank god (or a current lucha schedule apparently), but the AEW guys who aren't working a bunch of indies are working a bit less and that's fine. That said... since the comparison was brought up before and it seemed fair I looked up Rollins and in 2023 he worked just over a hundred matches, if Ospreay hits that number in a year in AEW even working the occasional NJPW show I will gladly say I'm completely wrong

I just wanna know... last week was Switchblade/Daddy Ass, this week was the All In footage, what segment next Dynamite will turn out to be an impossible to comprehend bad idea? >_> -
This sounded suspect to me so I did an experiment and picked a random WWE and AEW wrestler who seem to be fairly active in each company (Dom Mysterio and Orange Cassidy) and checked how many matches they have worked since the start of 2023. Dom worked 135, Orange worked 86. Given that Orange worked basically every single AEW house show, the Jericho cruise and a few indy dates to get to said number that's probably close to the AEW upper limit, so while it isn't nothing it is still less than 2/3 of the alternative. Granted this is very unscientific but a busy WWE wrestler seems to clearly be working more than a busy AEW one, and I see no reason Ospreay wouldn't be busy unless he negotiated very well. EDIT: Also unless I am confusing this with someone else Rollins apologized to Will years ago re: the twitter stuff and they've been complimentary towards each other in the years since.

I think it was the wrong week to do so as it really added to the whole "jeez AEW cares more about what's going on in WWE Land than their own" feel of things they had going tonight. Anyways hopefully AEW realize this was a moronic week and learn from it. -

I mean... even odds that they'd love to buy out all his shares even at an elevated price. -
I feel silly having to say this... but y'all realize there is a high chance Hunter was just working with that statement, right? He's on a media appearance and he can't just straight say "oh yeah, there's good reasons why some people would rather work elsewhere" so he responds in a way that deflects away from that. You can argue that it didn't work, but I think taking it as something he 100% believes and is honestly glad they didn't sign is a touch naive.

Someone pointed this out to me years ago, but I don't know that I've ever seen Thatcher run the ropes in a match. He's worked enough matches that it's had to have happened at some point but he may do so less frequently than just about everyone else currently working.

See I thought the Edge promo was pathetic but this? This level of petty I'm willing to go with, just fully commit to it beyond all reasonableness.

I just have to say... do you know how hard it is to make me towards Punk's side on anything nowadays? I don't want to get lost in the moment and call that opening Edge bit the most cringe thing AEW has ever done, but jesus christ you don't respond to an ex-employee saying mixed things about you (he was often positive towards AEW in the full interview) on your live tv show, particularly to lead off. Kingston and Schiavone had this figured out, this actually felt pathetic. (I mostly wrote that to distract myself from that absolutely WTF White/Gunn match >_>) (The rest of the show was fine)
