Considering Punk/Pearce named dropped Cornette, Nash being weird towards Stings retirement and Eazy E being Eazy E it wouldnât surprise me if they were getting a little âincentiveâ to trash AEW. Maybe, I also think trashing on AEW and being WWE positive drives more listeners and revenue at the moment. Though I do believe Cornette is being sincere in his criticism, and we know Punk has personal beef. But Bischoff is a total con artist, and you know heâd immediately change his tune if TK threw an offer his way.

So All In has to feature Ospreay in the biggest match, but that doesn't necessarily mean a world title match. I could see him beating Strong, and facing Okada in Wembley for both belts. AEW could stand to shed a couple of their belts, and the Continental and International seem to fit into the same box, so why not consolidate them like they did with the two six man belts?

I never need TK being an on-screen character, just putting that here.
That said, I am digging the rehab they're doing with Jack Perry.

Crazy to think that former junior ace Kushida is playing second stringer in the BOTSJ, yet his tag partner gets a slot.

Unless I missed it...ANYTHING with Roman from like 2015-2020? Iâve always wondered, would Roman backlash have been that terrible if Daniel Bryan stayed on the shelf in January 2015. I feel like itâs a bit revisionist to suggest that Roman wasnât super over in 2013-2014z Him being over didn't necessarily mean those same fans wanted the entire shows built around him. I feel like the Daniel Bryan excuse was just that as a way to sidestep looking at the actual issues with Roman and his push at the time. For example, if they were using his reaction at the Rumble the prior year as a barometer that he was the guy to go with, that ignores the fact he was in there with Batista who was being vehemently rejected, and in all likelihood, almost anyone else in the same position would have been equally cheered over him.

Out of the listed, I'd go with either Okada or Page.
I'm sick of Cole and White, Ospreay needs to be a babyface, and I don't see it with the others right now.
Out of those unlisted, I still like Joe as the top heel, and I'd prefer he keep the belt longer. He's the best thing going in AEW right now.

f***ing hell that's dumb. But then isn't Oklahoma also like bottom ranked in education, so that kinda checks out considering.

Oh god...I can only imagine what'd he'd call the company. Real Alpha Pugnacious Entertainment.

The fact he worked in pro wrestling benefited him in that no one ever really took him seriously enough to look into him with any real zeal. See also: Ric Flair.
I think the main difference here is that by tying the company up into TKO, and becoming beholden to someone else with a lot more legitimacy, he couldnât slink away and hide for a bit before returning like last time.

Taven was a pretty poor choice at the time, but I think he's been vindicated by history since then. Choosing not to put the belt on Scurll doesnât mean they had to put it on Taven.

What is it with people who booked diabolical eras of ROH and bad podcasts criticising other people's booking? Itâs an easy grift if you can get it.

I'd say any variation of the Diamond Cutter/RKO/etc. It looks flashy, has good impact, and can be reversed and modified really easily. It's like a swiss army knife of finishers in terms of how versatile it is.
Wait, no, what am I talking about. It's gotta be the Overdrive. [/thread over]

I don't know, I've seen Cancer's hands and the gloves don't look like they fit.

If I miss something and I feel it's so important I don't want anything spoiled for me, I will make sure I don't look at anything that might risk exposing me to it. That includes websites, social media, and anything adjacent that might risk giving something away.
Honestly, it's not that hard and just requires a little self control. Though it's always funny whenever I see people come onto a wrestling forum, knowing they're behind on things, and then have the gall whine about something being "spoiled: as if everyone else should wait for them to catch up before openly discussing results/shows that have already happened. What do these people expect?

A real genuine feel good thing. Also helped that I wasn't really aware of the whole Russo/Hogan thing besides what was shown on TV, and wouldn't learn of the full extent of it until years later.

I feel like the most pertinent question over this development has been glossed over.
Is Trent still in Chaos??? Is this the day everything changed? Was what was once before now different? What the f*** is Chaos anyway?

Losing at WM39 and The Rock stealing his main event made Cody far more popular than he was beforehand. People forget how people were already cooling on Cody prior to WM39, because it was kind of boring seeing him turn up and inevitably win. People wanted Sami. To be a babyface with any kind of longevity these days, you have to at least have the sense that you're not just the handpicked guy 'they' want you to cheer. Whether that's how they drew it up, no. But as I've always said, ask anyone involved whether they'd go back and change the WM39 result and nobody would. What they got out of it was another year of growing ratings and interest, an all-time heel run from The Rock (which is seemingly going to continue) and the biggest WrestleMania ever. And they still have an entire Cody Rhodes world title reign ahead of them to book. Cody was the top selling merch mover up to his Mania match last year, that wasnât a one off occurrence either. What is this based on?
