Looks like the show is going to be on Honor Club too, so I guess Tony wants to keep that going as well.

While I agree Wardlow is not going to be putting on any five star matches or cutting world class promos, he's caught fire with the crowd and there's nothing more primal in pro wrestling than a big dude going out and killing other dudes. AEW should absolutely ride it while its hot, since not doing so is one of the things WWE does that pisses everyone off.

lol damn, I've driven two hours to watch a TNA house show in Bumfuck West Virginia, two hours to see a WWE show in a big ass stadium seems like a no brainer for me.

This reminds me of the old DVDVR thread that imagined HBK and HHH as a long term couple working out their differences and I love it.

Seems like a huge amount of fans make it to Mania every year from the UK, one would think this wouldn't be seen as too far a drive them.

We should all take a moment to recognize what an improvement the new women's title is over the original.

It 100% has to be. The part where he talks about knowing what people say about him online was a giveaway to me. Also when he began talking about Garcia's wreck and paused after saying the date (January 6th) was a big tell too. Dude's super online for someone his age and there's no way he's not working that to his advantage here.

Those rules would make for a 100% better show than what we're likely to get.

If Coach Tony wants to make the whole show just 2 hours of Regal slapping the shit out of some fools, I'd be okay with that.

IIRC Drake was hitting up co workers under the guise of "fighting child sex trafficking", and who''s going to say no to that? I think a lot of those donations came before he went full mask-off looney tunes.

I laughed at that and also Regal telling JR he was influential in his career and Ex "did nothing for me". It's been a while since Regal got to stretch his villainy muscles and it's great.

Aubrey's hardcore

Funny how if these two try to have a wrestling match it's kinda bleh, but when they fight it's fucking fantastic.

I think Britt has a secret Mick Foley fetish

I was literally just thinking this is a great AAA style bloodbath and then a ref bump

A "Fuck em up Rosa" chant, I like this crowd.

I unironically popped for JR putting over the PWI Match of the Year Award over like he was in Mid South circa 1985.

LOL at Wardlow macking at PVZ not giving an F her mans was right there.

I gotta hand it to Jericho, nothing that would guarantee heel heat more than calling Daniel Garcia a "sports entertainer".

Jericho's Sebastian Bach phase dovetails nicely with 2.0 and their 80s coked out promos.

Also I apricate Regal nicking Inoki's gimmick of slapping the piss out of someone as a greeting.

Wheeler Yuta died for our sins

He's been making an awful lot of less than subtle Nazi references, like referring to the number 88 then acting surprised-but-not-really when told of the Nazi connotations (88 is used by white supremacists because H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, so 88=Heil Hitler).

At some point Rey wanted him to use the name "Principe Mysterio" which wold make sense since the son of the King would be a Prince.

I just bought tickets for my third AEW show coming up in April, and each time it cost $29 + tax for decent seats about midlevel. Similar seats would cost probably twice that if not more for WWE.
