Good lord, Braun and Otis in a MEGA MEATY MATCH next week.

Corey must have a tab open to PWO while calling the show with him mentioning that higher ups in WWE thing Moss can be a player.

Also lol at Hunter turning NXT back into the de facto third brand right after the "they beat our developmental brand, good for them" comment.

Speaking of CAWs. Liv at all times backstage looks like she's from a video game cutscene.

My dude out here looking like he just came out of the dojo with Shibata.

Heyman gonna smash Logan verbally before Roman smashes him physically.

I guess Heyman got to raid Vince's suit collection when he left.

I get it, but that's when Punk has to be the bigger man and handle his business backstage and not seize the opportunity to use the build to a PPV as a chance to call someone a bitch who's not involved in what you're out there to set up. I suppose on paper both are unprofessional, but a vague reference and a direct "you aint got the balls" callout are entirely different levels IMO. I get he had time to stew due to injury, but maybe if Punk just goes to Page backstage like "what the fuck was that?" or maybe bring it up to Tony, all the rest of this doesn't happen. If he wants to be the locker room veteran leader he seems to see himself as, he went the exact opposite way he should have in handling this. That's what kills me about all this, dude wants to be a respected voice all the youngins come to for advice while also turning potential teachable moments into opportunities to shit on his co workers. Even if he's 100% right in his frustration you gotta be better than that.

The wildest part of that is depending on Darby's activities that day, Sting might be the one in the best physical shape.

Hunter has been pretty friendly with Dave on all the NXT conference calls they did, not surprising he's not sticking with the Vince mindset on this.

Yeah it seems like perhaps the Elite thought they could fuck around because up to that point it seemed that being free of WWE had mellowed Punk out, and they ended up finding out.

In a matter where only like 1% of folks knew wtf he was talking about when he did it. The one thing that has remained consistent this whole time has been Punk taking either perceived or very small slights and turning them into nuclear warfare.

Yeah, it's common knowledge the Elite talks Dave, but the moment Punk signed everyone's immediate reaction (well the one after "holy shit") was "what is AEW going to do about having Colt on the roster". Everyone knew it was going to be a potential issue, and Punk having a preplanned rant about it that didn't even get sidetracked by the reporter he called on not playing ball stopped it from happening. Even if the Elite was telling tales to Dave, does anyone think it wouldn't have still ended up an issue having those two in the same company?

Is it though? His main beef was shot down by Dave and SRS, so unless you think all of wrestling media is conspiring against him it doesn't seem like he's becoming more right at all. You can make the case that the idea that Punk is 100% a villain has changed, but he's still the guy that came into the press conference with the goal of going on a rant and shit all over the company he works for.

What happened with Charlotte I wonder? They did that whole injury angle so she could take time off to get married, and Andade's been back for weeks now.

He looks like Dexter Lumis's little brother in that photo.

As much I doubt the Macho Man was ever really "out of character" , it does seem like Randy was a pretty solid dude. High strung, to be sure, but a solid dude nonetheless.

YouTube is pretty big in the Middle East, so probably. Comedian Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias has a whole bit on being surprised that the Saudis wanted him to do a show there, and when he asked how they came to know him it was from YouTube.

Savage had the best response to the "is it fake?" deal, on I think the Arsenio Hall Show: "When I win it's real, when I lose it's fake"

The 8/10 thing sounds so out of character as something Kenny would say I wonder if it is somehow being taken out of context or misconstrued, but if he said it it's absolutely a dick thing to say. It's weird since the initial reports that came out after the meeting is everyone was positive and feeling great (along with Danielson and Jericho coming off as true locker room leaders), and now the rumor is Kenny took a giant shit on everyone. Which was it?

Dave mentioned in the latest WON that the plan (before the Punk-ening happened) was to do some sort of angle with Mox to have a storyline reason to go on vacation.

People forgetting "All Friends Wrestling" really became a term thanks to Cody and pals. All the EVPs were guilty of getting their pals signed, but it seemed like Cody was especially bent on his guys getting featured as much as possible.

I think it's the setup for me. Everything has to stop while he does the wacky handspring setup and flings himself blindly at the opponent, and he does all that for a cutter which hasn't been used as a finish since DDP and Johnny Ace.

I realize there's several more important reasons to dislike Jay Lethal, but my pet peeve with him is the Lethal Injection is the stupidest move in wrestling.

They reacted to Ricky Starks, Lee/Swerve and Lucha Bros doing crazy shit, and the Acclaimed. AEW's in that same phase NXT 2.0 was at launch where they have to lay the foundation to get a lot of new shit over in a short period of time.
