I don’t doubt that; I just think it’s funny that reality paints a very different picture of all this. It’s the same point I made when it all happened: The Bucks made a mistake, Punk also made a mistake, but Punk’s version of what’s happened has bore true more than the Bucks’ version has. Punk at least understands there’s business to be made here, while the Bucks are playing the Holier Than Thou card it seems. I’m sure we’ll get some cute reference from them at Wembley in the FTR match to further the passive aggressiveness both sides seem to be leaning on.

The Elite saying no because it’s the first time they might not be in full control of the narrative is hilarious. NBA Contracts my ass.

Wouldn’t have happened without DVDVR.

When I went six years ago, I can only imagine what Kawada thought of some tall wide-eyed dude just wandering in. And then flubbing through whatever I could say to not sound like a fanboy when he signed my shirt and took a photo. Eddie got to live the damn dream. That’s amazing. They also need to release that subtitled so we can understand all that Kawada says. Would be great.

YEAH

Cody carnying Brock into going full Codyverse melodrama, giving him the rub, and then, as Brock goes back after the match, takes a kids hat before tossing it back to him. What the hell did I just see?

“You dumb son of a bitch.” Audience avatar Brock Lesnar.

It’s hilarious how much we all wanted CMFTR/Elite but they decided to go in a direction that might actually be better than that.

Oh holy shit, Punk/Joe at Wembley, let’s go.

FTR going full Bret-ism as they go and drop the titles at Wembley is a bit too meta for even me.

Fuck ALS, man.

I’m guessing Mercedes debuts at the end of this to set up her and Toni.

Well, see ya!

Love when a non-story gets the clicks, good job, Wrestling Industrial Complex.

Sweet, now I can say both Eddie and I met Kawada at his Ramen shop. Awesome.

Cody is a carny at heart and the two families have been close over the years so I think in his mind he can make it work.

It’s also one of those things where if you’re into it, your body doesn’t really think about needing to go until after when the adrenaline wears off. My old baseball broadcasts, I did them by myself and only rarely did I even need to get up between innings to go. Just something you get used to.

It’s not even a full-time arrival. The word is that he’s close to re-signing with NJPW after squashing the issues he had with management post injury.

I think it’s funny that given Punk’s show is coming off the best tag match in company history and an attempt to put over a new top guy, the guys whose vision for pro wrestling is something they want to protect so much absolutely laid an egg in a big spot in a match that’s very difficult to fuck up. Incredible stuff.

Ibushi gonna do something incredibly stupid tonight, and that’s get lost at the airport and not make the show.

Yeah

That’s the one.

Hey, I guess we might get a couple big surprises tonight. Including one obvious one that has been in the works for a while.

Rick O’Shea doing the cool thing again

Surely there was an error somewhere.
