I had to go back to remember and well I'm not a fan, but Jay Lethal getting pinned instead of Jarrett is f***ed up 🤣

I really do not want to make this into a WWE vs. AEW thing. But it is really obvious how much more adept at handling the media that Triple H is as opposed to TK when you see stuff like this. I think this is a bit of revisionist history. Hunter lost his shit the last time he did an NXT conference call and he regularly struggled to answer questions about some of his talent and policies.

I've seen a few too many "Triple H blatantly lies or backpedals" moments to entirely agree with that, but one's an onscreen performer, the other's not, so I can't say I am shocked he can BS more easily.

I'll give TK the slight nod when it comes to discussing Saraya/Paige.

The same HHH who talked about how they had a "Magic Fluid" right before a huge COVID outbreak at the PC? Among other examples? No he's not more adept at all.

The same Triple H who spent like a year and a half having monthly meltdowns on every single press conference?

If MJF still gets cheered on Dynamite this week, then TK needs to tell him “I don’t care if you want to be a heel or not Max, you are a babyface because that is what THE FANS want.”
It’s be like if in 1997, Vince McMahon still stubbornly tried to keep Steve Austin heel no matter what the fans were saying. It would have been stupid.
We shall see.

Which is a weakness on his part as a booker let’s be clear.

In general I don't really see where what the talent wants should matter. If it makes for the better story then tell MJF to suck it up. He's an actor, not a writer.

JFC The Official scrum video is bloody unwatchable.
Is there an alternative?

Why do the official AEW scrums look like someone turned on an Instagram filter and forgot to tell anyone

Who else hates the fact that a gambling company has inserted itself into modern pro wrestling, say I I legitimately cannot believe that grown adults bet on professional wrestling. Pete Rose being at WM sure has some far-reaching results.

I'm glad MJF won and it didn't involve a swerve from the Firm.

I think this is a bit of revisionist history. Hunter lost his shit the last time he did an NXT conference call and he regularly struggled to answer questions about some of his talent and policies. Hunter also gets the softest of softball questions in his interviews because usually the 'journalists' interviewing him are pissing themselves at the thought of losing access to WWE.
