lol, kind of a low key diss by the Profits wearing Giants themed gear when 49ers star (and known pro wrestling superfan) George Kittle is in the front row

Bayley is amazing

Meanwhile, Bobby and Seth are having a good one out there.

It's not going to be the same without having Regal yelling WAAAAH GAAAHHHMES so what is even the point?

The thing with Bray, is even if Hunter can get him to focus, the issue is it will still fall apart once he has a match.

I wonder what the laws are, would they be able to fire him if they agreed to keep paying his medical bills? That would seem the best outcome for all sides. Punk gets covered for the injury he got in their ring, and AEW gets to rid themselves of a major source of drama.

Having said that, someone on the WON board jokingly suggested it could end up with Nattie doing a goth Queen of Hearts gimmick and I laughed mightily.

Yeah this one of the most interesting things they've done just for how un WWE it is. The company famous for beating you over the head with things doing an angle entirely via word of mouth on social media. Not gonna lie, if it is something Bray related I'm kind of interested in what his stuff will look like in this new world. Everything he did started off really interesting before petering out. Was it because Bray didn't really have any ideas other than how to kick off a new gimmick? Was it because Vince liked it and started fucking with it until it was trash? I wouldn't mind finding out.

If you're talking about "Jane", she wasn't part of Jefferson Starship by that point.

This was reported first as being done off-air during Raw, and now it seems WWE is doing this at the houseshows this weekend as well. The lights go dark, the song plays briefly, and then everything goes back to normal like nothing happened. Fans are doing the Bray Wyatt firefly deal when it happens, but Karrion Kross acknowledged a tweet pointing out that was his Lucha Underground gimmick,

WCW had a lot of great outdoor shows, plus the spring break Nitros were always fun.

One of the coolest shows I ever attended was a JCP house show here in like 1987 or so where they opened the roof of the Civic/Mellon Arena here which didn't happen very often.

Outdoor venues are great visually, but they can pose a challenge for the wrestlers. There's been more than one AAA show where the ropes got wet and caused chaos, like what happened when AEW was doing pandemic shows outside.

He definitely was a draw in the sense of "big star from another world enters MMA, how will he do", but I got the impression that was all gone after he got starched by ham n eggers.

I can't imagine all parties weren't given a million admonishments to STFU until the whole investigation/legal process works itself out. Still, if there's one person who would say something anyway....

The thing about going to streaming services is while you'll probably get a buttload of money for it, you're going to have a pretty big loss of viewability. Major League Soccer just signed an exclusive deal starting next year with Apple TV, which is going to make them a lot of money, but instead of having the reach of ESPN and Fox (their former partners) they will have the much smaller Apple TV audience.

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.
