Sabre was only 16 when he started. The moral here is that America is pretty much the only country that won't let you start wrestling until you're 18. And even then only in some states.

I've heard a lot of good things about AZM. Let's see how well she lives up to the hype.

Maybe this will be a good bout since the rest of HoT are in Taiwan this week. A one on one HoT match? That's a novel concept.

Not going to lie, I was expecting him to interrupt the Kaze Ni Nare.

The crowd predictably does not care for The House of Torture. Can hear a pin drop At least they're giving Suzuki some love.

NJPW's English VTR narrator just sounds so low energy compared to the Japanese guy.

I said this in a different thread but Nic Nemeth is living the dream of a guy who was stuck in catering for years right now. He’s holding a New Japan belt he won in a main event in Japan. He’s main eventing the next TNA PPV for their belt. He’s main eventing AAA’s first TripleMania for their belt soon after. And he’s wrestling Ishii in Chicago today. If you choose to go non-AEW after you get your pink slip…hard to get better spots than he has. Ali has gone about it differently because he will work anywhere with anyone at any time and is grinding even harder…but he’s also done quite well for himself post WWE already I personally think Nemeth was always a guy who was held back in WWE just because of the company's style. He was always phenomenal in ring, but in terms of "it factor" there was always just guys who could just carry themselves better than him. In companies like NJPW, TNA and AAA in ring quality is just as if not more important than it factor.

Moxley could be a Grand Slam World Champion if he wins tonight. He'd be the first person ever to hold the WWE, AEW, and IWGP Heavyweight titles if he wins tonight. Effectively the three biggest titles in the world of wrestling right now, so we'll see. Personally I think he's taking it. He hasn't been on any AEW cards lately, which to me indicates they're giving him a break to do some stuff he wants to do on the side, and NJPW LOVES them some Jon Moxley. That being said as much as I think Moxley will be a great IWGP champion, I think putting the belt on an outsider when you've just had a mass exodus from your company of your top talent REALLY sends the wrong message.

Jack Perry's wrestling in Chicago tonight... This should be interesting.

Alright, let's get back to entertaining in ring product, and fun instead of stupid worked shoot nonsense and continuously dredging up the negativity of the last two and a half years.
That's a hell of a main event, and fortunately I'm off work that night so I'll be able to see it.

Like I said airing this was immensely stupid. It didn’t show us anything that anyone with more than two functioning braincells didn’t already know: Punk physically assaulted Jack Perry for no reason beyond his fragile narcissistic ego being slightly bruised.
Why the hell did Tony Khan think taking the negative publicity and amplifying it by replying was a good idea? Just stupid all the way through.

he threw multiple punches at Perry What? Did you watch the footage?
Rewatching it the first one was a shove but he definitely took a swing at him once Joe pulled the two apart.

I mean, Punk was the first person to make physical contact grabbing Perry by the throat, and unlike his claims he threw multiple punches at Perry before lunging at Tony Khan.
That being said, nobody’s mind was changed and all it did was call more attention to an incident I’m sure we’d all rather move on from.

You know, I like the Rock. Really I do, especially as a heel. But can we please stop having him take up large portions of the show because he can't stop talking?

No. Not even close.
They set it up perfectly last year with Sami Zayn forming cracks in the Bloodline and joining forces with Kevin Owens to even the odds against Roman Reigns, then wasted a year doing nothing. This main event was fun and all, but it was rather repetitive and overbooked. Aside from the large number of gratuitous cameos this match featured (some of which had nothing to do with the story), there is literally nothing about this that wouldn't have been accomplished by just doing this last year.

Wait, people are mad about that Edge promo? He was just noting that pro wrestling was getting hot and then he talked about how great AEW was. You seem to forget we're talking about pro wrestling fans, who get viscerally angry about where wrestlers choose to work, or make unhinged personal attacks against people who like a match they didn't enjoy and vice versa.

If TK really wanted to give it to Punk, bring out Cabana with some lawyers to cut a passionate promo!! i think at this point colt would thank the lord above if people would leave him alone about punk At this point you're not wrong. It's hard enough having a lifelong friendship fall apart spectacularly, but having it constantly dredged up in public, and having your name constantly associated with a spectacularly ugly scandal makes matters so much worse. It's easy to forget that beyond their profession they are still real people.

And here comes the only man in AEW with a bad enough neck to compare to Adam Copeland.
And on the the subject of that speech all I can say is, can we please just leave the negativity of the last year or so in the past now? Let's do the Bryan Zane method: Like what you like, and don't be a dick!
