More importantly, he’s injured so it’s not him. As for Filthy Tom, Dave made it sound like he’s already in Japan getting ready for the G1. Oh neat, didn't know Lawlor was working the G1. Lee Moriarty counterpoint, he is in fact good. Very good. I base this on his clear aptitude for catch-as-catch-can pro wrestling. He's also 27 years of age and getting better weekly. 1

From my lips to the Coach’s ears *prayer hands* Is there a logical link between Luke Perry and David Arquette that would make this an important part of the said program? Honest question, with no irony/ snark intended, for the record. Edited June 24, 2022 by Shartnado Removed a question mark
Dirty J. Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 Silas Young! The man looks so sleazy, I love it. His AEW debut got kind of overshadowed by everything else major on the show unfortunately. Need to see more of him on TV. 3

Yeah, Luke Perry lived with the Arquette family when he moved to LA. He was especially tight with Alexis and David. If I’m not mistaken, Luke drove David to the hospital when he almost bled out from getting slashed with a light tube by Nick Gage. David wrestled JB a couple of years ago, and they had a sweet interaction afterwards. 5
The Natural Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 One of the best AEW promos ever. Christian Cage is great as a face and as a heel. Few can do both equally as well. Bryan Danielson, Eddie Guerrero and Bret Hart are three that come straight to mind. 5
The Natural Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 One of the few heel promos I can think off with audible "Shut the fuck up" chants. Shawn Michaels in Montreal, Roman Reigns on the post WrestleMania XXXIII RAW, Kevin Owens/Elias nuclear heat in Seattle and MJF in AEW.
eikerir Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 Christian should really add one of these sunglasses to complete the ensemble of evil Hockey Team coach 4

Your assessment is fair, he's a good babyface, knows how to work it, and is a legendary brand. But(!!!) babyface Christian is nowhere near the level of his natural heel act. Is it crazy to assume that at 48 years old that this may end up being Christian's best run? 3 2
Curt McGirt Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 That Busick Tweet isn't in ALL CAPS. Hmmm... (PS I am joking, for reals) As for the show I haven't watched any of it yet. Guess I'll put it on. 1
Technico Support Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 With his turtleneck and stylish-ass jacket, I thought Christian looked like and extra from The Avengers (the English one, not Marvel). 2

Tarheel Moneghetti Posted June 25, 2022 Posted June 25, 2022 Decided to order Forbidden Door so I am watching this week's tv. Christian promo really shocked me. I didn't feel like they'd go there even after involving the mother and sister last week. Apparently, the Perry family has carny roots. Who knew. Surprised (but not surprised) there isn't more blowback from that promo. Vince would catch holy fire from the Internet if he had a heel invoke the name of someone's dead dad. 1

Luke and Christian had an interaction on his and Edge's old WWE Network show what has to be a couple years ago now. Edge really put over how big of a mark for Luke's 90210 character Christian was - so there is actual history between the two interacting. A little more different than bringing up Charlotte's brother who said person had never even so much as talked to. But I get your sentiment.

I get where you're coming from. But Christian and Luke Perry were friends. He was on That Edge & Christian WWE Network show. He's a huge fan of the business and was boys with lots of the workers. So in this situation I would assume Christian knows how Luke would have felt about it. Jungle Boy too especially. Just as when Paul Bearer's ashes were used in the Punk & Taker feud and Taker and Paul's real sons all agreed he would be cool with it, I don't think they go through with this without universal approval that Luke would have been fine with that. It's a situation where Luke unfortunately died younger than he should have. But there's something to be said for this being a natural death vs someone overdosing or some sort of nefarious death. Still understandable tho if it strikes you the wrong way. Just saying the specific case of Luke Perry I don't think would catch heat anywhere it was used in this same context. Just like Paul Bearer's death being in a WWE story that had minimal to no backlash from the fans. 2
