Here's a different clip from today that's just profounded beyond the pale stupid: My takeaways from this: 1. He's acknowledging that this could kill the company, going against nearly a year of PR spin 2. He genuinely thinks the majority of the planet will side with him if the company fails I haven't seen a perspective this skewed since M. C. Escher. 3. He somehow thinks the planet siding with him vindicates him in the destruction of Twitter?

Roflmao 🤣 the difference in answers, good lord! On Punk: “I wanna have fun. If he’s got the same mindset, great.” On Orton: “Oh Randy’s the best he’s wonderful I love him” verbal fellating continues for a minute and a half. “Best thing to ever happen to the locker room, we need him.”

Weird that she's saying that about promo time, considering she got several seconds of it during the Devil laugh. Well, she did specify 0 MINUTES, and several seconds don’t equal a minute. The ol’ lying by telling the truth trick.

Remember when Tony Khan said CM Punk played hard to get and it was a “long courtship.” And Punk said he’s “not easy” or something like that?
Guess WWE is the ex he hates but secretly still loves and is just bitter things didn’t work out how he’d have liked and as soon as they show a tiny bit of interest he’s all over them again.

I was high as hell falling asleep after the main event and then my jaw dropped when I heard the static. I agree Punk deserved out of AEW, but damn I marked the f*** out! I hope everything works out "Deserved" out? I mean...yeah...he definitely deserved to be fired...

I love it. Cody left AEW after Punk showed up. Now Punk's in WWE before Cody even gets to finish his story. I won't be watching, but I'll DEFINITELY be following the story to see what he does this time.
This thread is hilarious though. Love that "we don't know anything" but it's obviously the Bucks and Kenny's faults and they're the only ones we can point the finger at. Like they forced Punk to assault Jungle Boy. Then they forced Punk to cause Tony Khan to fear for his life. Those damn Elite!

I loved the Jackyl as a character and wished I got to see him more as Cyrus in ECW. Always thought he should've been a bigger deal, so I'm really glad to see him getting a resurgence, even though I'm not super digging the Don Callis Family at the moment.

TK is a huge mark, we all know. There’s already been mention of an American Triple Crown previously. He wants it, it’s gonna happen, bookmark this comment.
The NJPW Strong title is a title New Japan probably don’t REALLY care about and the idea of it being on national US TV likely appealed to them. The ROH World Title is a “World” title but for a lesser promotion, and TK owns it so he can do what he wants. Now we need a title from AEW, but we don’t want to get rid of the couple we’ve already established, so let’s just make a new one, who cares? It’s not REALLY a new title, it’s all becoming one title with the ROH title. But now it’ll have AEW and NJPW association, upping its prestige, it’s uniqueness and fans’ patience with seeing a ROH belt on AEW TV (after all, it’s part an AEW title now).
Personally, I love the idea. I love the visual of three titles being carried around and defended. I wanna see Bryan win and establish it, but at the same time I’m sad to see Eddie losing his belts like that. He deserves better.
Edit: Just to clarify, Eddie said the winner will also receive the Continental Championship, establishing a modern American triple crown. Not unifying the first two to make a new title, one wrestler carrying three titles. He also said the winner of the tournament will receive the belts, not the person who beats him, so the titles aren’t on the line every match.

Ok, I'm 1000% on board with reviving Survival of the Fittest, always loved that match. Still, once a new champ is crowned there'll still be some work that needs to be done for the belt's status itself. We'll see who wins and what kind of stories stem from that. With the ROH World Title being folded into an American Triple Crown along with the NJPW Strong Title and the AEW Continental Title, it's possible the ROH TV Title becomes its top belt.

the fact it was documented on BTE last time, makes me doubt that. Honestly I feel like they've wanted to stop BTE since Hangman won the belt. They've kinda been going through the motions since then. I'd still wish they'd be up front about it. I get BTE isn't "technically" done if they're gonna keep uploading segments as shorts, but at least be honest with the audience you've cultivated for years and tell them it's changing and that this is what it'll be now The lack of anything, a video, even a social media post, is extremely weird to me. Even after Brawl Out happened, they told people that BTE would be postponed, and always have been upfront and honest about delays or changes pretty much This is just weird to say nothing and change the entire formula of something people have known for years and frankly how a lot of the wrestling community got to know all of them. Also makes me worry for Cutler. Without two contracts, I feel like he’s a bit more expendable than he was. But then again, maybe there’s something coming? Maybe BTE is gonna be on Max with everything else 🤞🏻

In Journey of Wrestling, Danielson won my Continental Classic with a perfect record and then on the Collision before his title shot at the New Years PPV, he’s injured in a match with Malakai Black to defend his title shot. Of course.

Imagine having everything, talent, look, name value, and then being so absolutely toxic you ruin every opportunity afforded you. I restate: I could easily have seen The Four Horsewomen; Charlotte as the boss, Natalya as the veteran, Rhea (or now, Jade) as the muscle, and Tessa as the rookie. I’ve always wanted a good Four Horsewomen stable with Charlotte and Tessa, but I’m not sure I see how Tessa would be “the rookie” in a lineup with either Jade or Rhea. From what I’ve read in this thread, Rhea was in the same MYC as Tessa. Rhea was super green back that, though, and was nowhere near who she is now. Tessa was definitely farther along at that time than Rhea was. And Jade is still a rookie now, basically. Tessa’s more of a vet at this point to Jade. That said, I love the idea of Jade in the lineup.

Hate when WWE viewers like u talk about wrestling u never get good wrestling on that show hell isn't even a wrestling show The truth is it doesn't matter what AEW does u still going to get people crying and complaining about something unfortunately that's how the world works negativity sell more than positivity I love AEW and don’t watch WWE shows, but this is … quite the take.

Is BTE being canceled? There hasn't been a new episode uploaded in two weeks, and the new segments are being added in clips on the YouTube channel now. That’s what I was thinking when I saw Nemeth’s segment uploaded. Feels like that’s about it.

I was editor of the school paper in journalism in high school. And my daughter just started at a middle school with: graphics design, “makerspace” (3D printing), and coding among other things. And we are NOT in a fancy area, but it IS a brand new school. School papers are a real thing? I thought that was some bullshit made up for TNBC drama or Student Bodies. Totally real. And terrible, mostly. Kids would type in all caps, capitalize every word, and just have horrible grammar. Then everyone just wants to write about things they’re interested in, and we’re all nerds, so it’s full of wrestling and anime shit that the majority of the school wasn’t into.

What f***ing fancy ass high schools was Hanger teaching at that offer journalism and graphic design as classes? Are we sure he wasn’t working at a college? Who the f*** gets to take journalism in high school? I was editor of the school paper in journalism in high school. And my daughter just started at a middle school with: graphics design, “makerspace” (3D printing), and coding among other things. And we are NOT in a fancy area, but it IS a brand new school.

Hope he wins. As others have said, it gives a great marquee match for LA Knight to take it off Logan, and having him walk around with the US title is walking mainstream attention. I did hear some people suggesting Bad Bunny vs Paul for the title might be done as well, which would be a fine match to do to give Paul some heat before Knight takes the title. If they are going back to Puerto Rico, then I can see Bunny VS Paul and they can bill it as 2 celebrities facing each other 1 on 1 The last time (If you want to call it that) was Rosie VS Donald I was gonna make a joke about how this is gonna be the most rehearsed match since Hogan/Warrior since neither one would be able to call the match, but then I realized by now they’re probably both seasoned enough to get away with it along with some planning.

New season premiered Sunday. Voices are fine, Rick a little more…angsty? I dunno.
Mr. Poopybutthole’s voice was jarring.
Still haven’t fully “finished” the episode. I was busy doing work watching it Sunday, and wasn’t fully paying attention after awhile.

I hated that exchange. Copeland looked like he was just trying to make Ricky look bad, thankfully Ricky recovered okay. But yeah. Should have left it at the pants thing. But I HATE when wrestlers interrupt each other when the other isn’t expecting it. Seems rude and doesn’t really help.
