Awesome, I have Max to watch Doctor Who so now I can actually watch the full AEW shows. Really glad to see them keep growing and making moves. Despite all the *ahem* discourse about AEW, they're a huge part of why wrestling in general has had such a big surge in popularity and pop culture relevance again.

Shocked that Collision is staying on Saturday but whatever, it's done, THANK GOD. Elton John put a word in. |

End of the day wrestling is in a better place than it has been in a long time. I’d like to see some of the smaller promotions make some strides and have a strengthened second level of promotions. No other company is going to grow much. Nxt moving to cw was an attempt to cutoff nwa. Aew is bucking the trend because Tony was able to hit the ground running with funding. |

lmao f***ing what?
I mean, this is the guy who fantasizes about Tony Khan calling him the n-word, but that's just insane.
[/div][/quote] His tweets/posts are universally panned now by everyone. After the deal was signed he said that AEW fans only cared about race to make WWE look bad but had five years to have a black champion and didn’t do it. That Swerve had been treated badly as champion. People called him out on it and aside from saying TK should call HBK in how to book black people he posted this. Said that Dusty kissing Saphire is proof WWF wasn’t racist. His word for word response “ AEW incels are pretending to care about Black people in wrestling five years too late (Happy Anniversary!) to protect their favorite billionaire. It's like if someone with a Confederate flag tattooed on his neck tried help me with my groceries. Thanks, but no thanks Cletus.” It’s literally nonsensical and I haven’t seen someone lose it this badly in a long time. He knows his grift is over. All he has left is his fake racial outrage. |

No other company is going to grow much. Nxt moving to cw was an attempt to cutoff nwa. Aew is bucking the trend because Tony was able to hit the ground running with funding. I’m looking at the level ROH/PWG were on for a while (and CZW to a laser extent). Promotions at that level where younger talent are showcased to a larger than normal audience. I think GCW was pretty close for a while. Not saying they have to get to the level ROH was at but it would be nice to see promotions fill that spot. I don’t count current ROH as its affiliated with AEW. I’m hoping promotions not affiliated with WWE/AEW can stand out. |

I look forward to hearing Meltzer/Alvarez trying to decipher how much money this deal is actually worth tomorrow.

Sapp said black label & mission pro (thunder Rosa) closed down or aren't promoting ATM. Will take aew working with companies like this & using them as a feeder. No company, even TNA, will get deal media deal in USA that will support them. Two night mania killed a lot business too. |

Oh, this is great!
This hopefully means we'll have access to the back catalogue of AEW PPVs, yes? Because there's quite a few I've missed out on.

You’d be surprised at how little Jim Cornette ever enters my mind. People should try it. No, I took it as “They should buy SMW and keep the $169.9 million instead”. |
