The guy seems insufferable. Is he any good? I know some folks hate Meltzer but he has always defended Zarian and knows he has his sources. And Dave doesn't do that for a lot of guys trying to break into the scoops industry. Like when people dunked on him for the WWE going TV-14, Dave backed it up by saying he was right that they were going in that direction but then switched things up once it got out.

CM Punk just got the Rampage debut in his home town and everyone knew that he was going to be there. Punk essentially was promoted without outright mentioning him. The fact they booked the United Center for that show, plus various wrestlers dropping hints meant that folks knew Punk was going to be there. Yeah, they'll soft announce Mercedes by announcing a Boston Dynamite or Collision after Revolution. They don't need to outright say Mercedes will be there but it will be implied.

That he's hiring a GM to make the big announcements from now on? Please? I could see The Bucks beating Sting and Darby at Revolution but to counter their new EVP heel characters, Sting is made the commissioner of AEW. He shows up once in a while, makes a match, hits someone with a bat. It's perfect. I like this. I'd like Sting to stay around after he calls it quits as an in-ring performer, and this is a good way to do it. Plus you'd have a GM with tons of history, and someone you don't want to cross or else you get bat. <TK> I have a big announcement! *Rips the flesh off of his face* <TK> I AM A ROBOT FROM A PLANET WHOSE NAME YOU CANNOT PRONOUNCE. OUR KIND HAS A GREAT NEED FOR THE POWER SOURCE YOU CALL 'COCAINE'. YOU WILL BE TAKEN TO OUR PLANET TO PLANT AND HARVEST IT FOR US. THAT IS ALL. FOR THOSE OF YOU WE DO NOT ABDUCT, PLEASE WATCH RAMPAGE ON FRIDAY NIGHTS. I would ABSOLUTELY watch Rampage on Friday nights if this happened.

Tony has a really good opportunity here. The apathy and anger toward the competition should ideally give him a chance to capitalize with some really awesome, feel-good content.
I'm hoping he makes the right decisions in the short-term, because maaaaaan am I not looking forward to Mondays and Fridays like I used to (Tuesdays, you're cool for now).

If Tony was smart, he’d utilize the roster that he has right now in giving the fans what they want. Not what he wants, not what selected individuals of the roster want, what the fans want. Utilize HHH’s own strategy “put yourself in the seat of the fan watching and think about what they’d want” becuz WWE has pivoted and isn’t doing that.

There are loads of people who book the show in addition to Tony these days. Such a boring, clichéd thing to say. Absolutely fascinating how much Tony antagonises people, hope his announcement is so pointless it legitimately makes people cry this time Sorry if criticizing makes you cry. But lately I've come to the following belief about the two major organizations' philosophies, not saying either approach is 100 percent quality or perfect. WWE is "How do we get to this match/story?" and AEW is "Wouldn't it be cool if...." You posting this yesterday morning, and then what happened at the end of Smackdown last night. Beautiful.

Well, some people here continually defend AEW through thick and thin, so I'm hoping this is a misstep that can be solved. And there is a story behind it. Not as good a story but still a story. I only used the 'cry' comment because the post I was responding to used it. Lots of people on X seem to have crying fetishes.

I think they should announce Mercedes has signed and that she will be debuting at this Boston show. Don't try and CM Punk it and be all wink wink.

Now that they have Adam Copeland, they should call the show Money Plane.

Those goddamn zoomers down at the soda hop won't stop talking about that Samoan Joseph, I'm so angry and everyone is crying except me. I am strong and this is just water on my face.

Honestly as a joke/meme I love Tony’s announcements
Might not always care for the actual announcement but I always like trying to figure out the pecking order i.e big announcement, huge announcement, massive announcement etc
