The Thread Killer

I guess Ric’s Legend’s deal is up.

I strongly question that decision. That match should be the Main Event of a PPV, not being given away on free TV with a 3 day build. Hell, I would way rather see MJF/Omega as the Main Event of Full Gear over Jay White getting the shot. The only good thing about the short build for Kenny getting the shot on Saturday is that we won’t be subjected to more riveting promos like the one he cut tonight.

Here’s another question…what will Tony Khan’s gift to Sting be? Knowing TK, I assume it’s a tournament, or maybe a championship belt.

I don’t disagree. I have actually heard him interviewed on a couple of different podcasts. He was on Rene Paquette’s podcast and that AEW podcast hosted by Aubrey Edwards and Tony Schiavone. Turns out Morrissey has a pretty interesting history. He had (has) some pretty serious mental health problems and like a lot of people in that situation, he was self medicating with alcohol and as we all saw, he really hit rock bottom. It’s a credit to him how hard he has worked to improve himself in all aspects of his life. It makes it hard not to cheer for him as a human being, if nothing else.

She and Big Bill Morrissey are engaged to be married, so I would hope they stay in AEW together, for their sake. That’s not really relevant to Pro Wrestling and it’s none of my damn business, of course.

Man, these Battle of the Belts “specials” are consistently the drizzling shits.

I’m there for a House of Black vs. BCC angle. Whoa, Haley J gets rejected by WWE after flunking her medical and TK grabs her up? Or maybe he’s just using her as enhancement talent, I guess…based on that match. LOL at Nigel’s Robocop joke.

Not surprising at all, but this Andrade vs Danielson match is pretty damn good.

All that HGH he did years ago didn’t help him much in the looks department, either. Nothing like a grossly distended cranium to make the ladies swoon. Just ask Barry Bonds or Robbie Lawler.

They lost to the lol Browns.

Tyrus being gone was an essential move to improve the NWA. Investing in more high tech TV production equipment is a smart decision. Going back to the original concept of the NWA and bringing various Indy promotions under the NWA umbrella is an excellent idea. And an actual TV deal? That’s pretty huge. Unfortunately, all of those factors are pretty much negated by the fact that despite changes and improvements, Billy Corgan is still in charge, and the man is clearly a massive dumbass.

Like him or not, you can’t deny that after his very public falling out with Billy Corgan, Nick Aldis managed to land quite squarely on his feet.

“Yeet?” ”I don’t like that.”

YES! LA Knight vs. The Tribal Chief! YEAH!

Yeah, today has not been a particularly good look for him. He has reverted to his DVDVR shit-poster gimmick. You would think a guy with five different jobs would have more important things to do with his time than troll WWE. Plus, you know people in WWE are noticing how he is reacting, and now they are just going to bait him all the more.

Dude, speaking as somebody who has been posting here at NMB/PWO for 18 years…please just take the damn L and move on, already. Nothing good can possibly come out of continuing this conversation.

To me, I never expected AEW to win in the ratings last night. You can’t expect a TV show to switch nights once, and for the entire audience to follow them. I would bet there was a pretty large chunk of casual fans who either forgot, or didn’t even know that Dynamite was on Tuesday not Wednesday this week. Sometimes I think Tony Khan assumes his entire audience is perpetually online and hanging on his every Tweet.

Dude WTF

Either that or people love seeing Jericho get squashed by Hobbs.

Exactly. Not to mention that Dax went on the record saying that as soon as Vince came back to active duty in WWE, that pretty much killed any chance of them ever going back there. I think sometimes people forget that these guys publicly asked for their release and turned down huge contracts offers to stay in WWE in order to get away from Vince McMahon. As long as he is around, I don’t see them going back. Punk or no Punk.

The guy who was the alleged victim didn’t report it to the cops until hours later…after he went to work and worked his full shift…which is weird to me. If somebody pointed a gun at me, you can bet your ass I’d be calling 911 the minute it happened. But hey, if Wheeler actually did it, and they can prove he did it, then I don’t care what happens to him. If you are dumb enough to carry a gun around and point it at people (who aren’t pointing a gun at you or threatening your life in some other way) then you deserve whatever happens to you. But I just don’t believe everything I read. If he gets convicted in court, then I will be more likely to believe it. I worked in the criminal justice system long enough to learn not to blindly believe someone is guilty just because they got charged. I would like to hear all the facts before I pass judgment, not just the allegations.

I heard the exact opposite, no footage and no witnesses, but I was planning on waiting to pass judgement until it goes to court and all the facts come out. But you do you, bubba.

That Tag Title match was pretty damn good.

Holy shit! I didn’t see that coming! I don’t hate it, though.

I thought this week’s Dynamite was just okay, at best. I found it way too talky, and there seemed to be a disproportionate amount of segments involving “character development.” Poor Tony K can’t seem to strike a balance between talk and action.
