Nothing in pro wrestling is better than heel Rock being completely extra. Dude is the Tom Brady of rasslin. You may not like the guy but you can't deny he's the best to do this by a large margin.

As much as it would make sense storyline wise to do GUNTHER vs Gable and have Gable win, it would seem a little anti climatic to have the record setting IC title run ended by the THANKYEW guy. Maybe this is their way to pivot to Chad Gable: Serious Wrestler, and if so I'd gladly take the L for my comment. Honestly I hope it is.

FWIW Dave mentioned in an update that AEW didn't even bother to ask WWE if they could use any of their footage of Sting, I suppose they assumed they'd say no and didn't even want to waste their time.

Vince = pro wrestling to 99% of TV execs, and WWE has been a top ratings draw for cable forever, so I wouldn't put it past some TV company giving him a flier. However I would think he's going to have his hands full defending the lawsuits to be starting any new businesses wrestling related or otherwise.

AEW is an embarrassment of riches at this point.... Okada, Ospreay, Danielson, Joe, Swerve.....holy shit man. Also I couldn't help but laugh at Darby being all "welp I might die on Everest" in his promo.

So it made sense in context of them being best friends who went different paths, Tenta went back to Japan and Fred ended up falling on his ass on live TV. Haku losing his mind laughing made the whole thing worth it tho.

Pat acknowledging the match was one of those reminders Vince isn't around anymore for sure.

On a show where only the main event really mattered, every match delivered. I don't think it was BEST PPV EVAR but it was the best one AEW has had in a while.

Literally started throwing punches in the air marking out when the classic Sting theme hit

Opening a wound has been a strategy in pro wrestling forever, and also it's been well established in AEW lore that Mox is a sick fuck.

Man, FTR has me thinking how this building has probably seen more great tag team matches than anywhere in the world outside Tokyo.

What's Kyle O'Reilly doing in the Dynamite Zone?

Every time they say Magnus I think Nick Aldis is running in

Gettin some good Meatyweight action in this scramble

Bryan vs Eddie delivered as expected, and Greensboro is reminding everyone why they were one of the hottest wrestling cities for decades.

That was a pretty solid opener

Is Renee wearing one of Bayley's jackets from her hugger days?

David Crockett in the house! Are we gonna get one more LOOKATTEM TONY!

This has to happen now that I've read it.

How would you guys book the Sting match? You know he wants to go out putting someone over but the angle has been built up for the Bucks to get their comeuppance for beating up his kids. But then you have to consider the tag titles as well. We all know TK likes him some tournaments, so I assume that'd be the plan. As far as Swerve goes he reminds me a lot of when Stone Cold turned babyface and was still doing what he did as a heel but instead was doing it to other heels. Swerve has such undeniable charisma and has got so over it almost doesn't even matter if it makes sense for him to be cheered, he just is at this point.

LMAO at Nigel taking a bump selling Mariah May blowing him a kiss, he's great

That opening 3 way was nuts, if Dante can stay healthy this year is going to be crazy.

Speaking of, Theory must have felt inspired with Rock in the building to do a stunner sell lin his honor.

I never expected a "You sold out" chant in 2024

On a smaller scale, it's why so many territories were able to use copyrighted music even on their TV shows that would do monster local ratings. Hell, ECW was still doing it up until the late 90s.
