And honestly, aside from CM Punk, Daniel Cormier is the only "HoF" signing that would even mean anything since Cormier can actually work a match instead of being ANOTHER manager.

Serena Deeb apparently just had a knee scope.  Did that news get mentioned anywhere?  I’m pretty pretty certain it didn’t make it to TV or YouTube.  I just read about it for the first time at F4wonline.  
 

She won’t be out for long.  She is the best worker with the weakest character development.  She is a woman of extremes...it seems.

They have used more than 36 different female wrestlers.  After Deeb, Rosa, Riho and probably Britt the talent is either promising or green as green has ever greened.   The division is a notch or two above where it stood back in August when I finally decided to make AEW a viewing priority.  If they had all those guest appearances from early on the women’s division would be waaay more than they have or been allowed to show so far.  Add Tessa, Mercedes, Kylie, Bea Priestley and others and that shapes the division quite nicely.  As it is they have a nice mix of styles and gimmicks.

She did great with the selling in the Riho match but I'm not surprised that this happened. Can't wait to see her back though.

Brother, you gotta add Ryo Mizunami's name to the list of AEW's good to go women. I think/hope she's sticking around for a long time like Riho. They may have to get JR just to call her Mizu (means water!) so I don't get fucked up with his "Riho" call tbh. 

Speaking of Aniki, she's live on ChocoTalk!

Dean, was right all along. Give this woman the fucking title and let her go.

I enjoy Mizunami, though some of her mannerisms (like the mime bit) are too over the top for me, but I don’t see the wider audience taking to her like they would with a lot of other Japanese talent. 
 

I’m thinking the ladder match mystery wrestler will be Mike Bailey. Excalibur randomly name dropped him a few weeks back and I’m starting to think that was intentional.

IIRC Jim goes to the talent (I guess mostly the foreign talent) and asks them how to pronounce their name. For whatever reason, he may be hearing her saying something similar to Riho. Obviously, I know UFC commentators do that during their fighter meetings.

Steiner put on a clinic with Nick Gage a couple years back. He can go. 

I think he had a heart issue of some kind during a Powerrr taping just before the pandemic, so even if he could go, he may be done in the ring

The Ryo/Ryu name pronunciation is incredibly hard for me and I've studied Japanese at a basic level. It's more like "dio" with the tongue starting on the roof of the mouth.

It could be transcribed as Lyo or Ryo, the Japanese r is essentially in between those letters. I can forgive just saying Riyo, that’s close enough, but Riho is a completely different name.

Gotta be honest, if it's Cormier, I would be so incredibly disappointed, and baffled. Probably even a little angry. That would be, imo, a fucking horrible payoff.

I'd rather it be Josh Barnett if they gotta do an MMA guy.

That would be fucking rad, I'd love Barnett in AEW for a bit.

Maybe it’s Nick Gage and the Hall of Fame in question is actually the New Jersey Penal HOF.

How dare you disrespect the CZW Hall of Fame like that.

Little known fact, the NJ Penal and CZW halls merged a while back due to all the overlap.

On a different tip...

Has it ever been explained what exactly happened to Excalibur when he was suspended for a few weeks?  I know WHY he was put on the shelf.  

What were the terms of Excalibur’s punishment?  He didn’t willingly take himself off camera, did he?
