At this point AEW and New Japan should just do like soccer teams and loan out guys they aren't using and/or getting stale to each other. Plus I think Juice isn't without any upside, he was perfectly acceptable as a mid to upper card tag team guy before the attempt to make him into Generic Bullet Club Heel #532 for some unknown reason. Also while watching Sunday Night Football, they showed an ad for the Premier League (NBC has the TV rights here in MURICA). Made me think that would be a great opportunity for someone who owned a team in each league that maybe has another business they run that could benefit from being advertised on NFL and EPL games.

Just when you thought Brazil was down for the count they hulked up and dropped the big leg.

Clearly everyone wants to take part in the last run of a legit legend, even Sting is going to do a match, so I don't blame Nak wanting to take part too.

Honestly at this point it seems clear Karl just took the big check for the Saudi show and said F New Japan.

When Regal said the line about only using his brass knucks because he wanted to, not to cheat.... that seemed like a foreshadowing moment to me. Right there made me predict a finish where MJF either ends up using his Ring (or even better, Regal's knucks) to win "because he wanted to".

So in case you were wondering, Val Venis's new career is being a First Amendment Auditor on Youtube, which means he goes around harassing cops and going to court over minor traffic citations because he doesn't feel traffic laws apply to him.

To be fair, Waffle House can squash any beef.

The crowd seems to really want MJF to be a babyface, so them fighting too hard against that could run the risk of creating a pre Tribal Chief Roman situation. The Rock comparison is pretty apt if for no other reason than Rock showed you can be a super mega over babyface and still be kind of an asshole.

His reaction to the "I don't give a DAMN what the Tribal Chief says" line was gold. Every kid who ever fucked up in front of their parents has seen that look.

Shayna just casually committing murder backstage, as one does.

Jimmy trying so hard not to laugh his ass off is the best part of this.

lol the crowd with the "OHHH SHIIIIT" reaction to Jey

Roman as the parent about to whup someone's ass for misbehaving is awesome.

Heads up to all the fellow 'MURICAN's here that Smackdown is on FS1 tonight due to the World Series on FOX.

I wonder if this movie is going to be from Kevin's POV, which would make sense from a storytelling and logistical standpoint since you can at least have some semblance of a happy ending with him. There's just so many questions about this movie though. How will it handle David's death? Or parading Mike around after his illness looking like he had passed away but wasn't aware of it? Or Kerry doing what he did because he was probably facing jail time? If the family has any involvement at all, how much would they allow out there? For that matter, what will the studio execs say about a movie about an All American Christian Family with three suicides and a possible (alleged) OD?

To be fair, SRS also said no one he talked to mentioned anything about the dog before now so it's not just Dave calling bullshit on this.

I think everyone already agreed on that, but yes this pretty much confirms the door was kicked in. It would explain why Punk was upset and also why Kenny was more concerned about protecting the dog while Ace Steel was chomping on his arm.

Well since there's no more Narratives to Control, I'm glad all the worst people in wrestling still have a place to go.

Larry apparently got hit by the door when it was kicked open, which sucks, but it's not like it was deliberate.

Vince's greatest feat was basically setting WWE on autopilot so when the time came for him to not be around for whatever reason not much would change.

Vince being gone was the biggest wrestling story arguably ever. The guy who for all intents and purposes *was* pro wrestling to like 85% of the world not being around on a day to day basis is huge. Just because WWE didn't fall like a Jenga stack without him doesn't negate that.

I mean it was one of the biggest stories in wrestling and probably would have been *the* biggest had Vince not fucked off this year. Of course it's going to be talked about.

MJF is gonna beat Moxley with Regal's knucks, calling it.

Kevin was always more like skinny ripped than roided out anyway.

Claudio is a damn beast.
