Ours are just as bad, this was just the one rare case that a Canadian one was worse.

I'm sure he wasn't the greatest guy ever, but wasn't part of his role to be the guy who snitched on the boys to the office?

Far be it for me to ever defend Vince, but "Vince is pissed at Cutler going to a New Years party and getting COVID after the talent was warned specifically about that" is a different situation than "Vince fires a jobber because he got COVID". At this point I have zero sympathy for anyone who got exposed due to their own stupidity.

They seem to be planting seeds for New Japan's Bullet Club vs AEW's Bullet Club to happen at some point.

I would assume any pre existing deals just get grandfathered in and anything going forward would be done with NBC.

Taker's Mania matches were just supposed to be showcases of stars from yesteryear putting over the new hot gimmick, and at some point they realized he's never lost and it became A Thing.

Dave mentioned this last night on WOR, said people would probably be disappointed at the announcement but it was only the first step.

Tama Tonga called the Good Brothers "Festus and smaller Festus" and I can't not see him like that now.

I do like the pairing of him and Thatcher as two sick bastards who like hurting people.

Watching NXT now, and I can't figure out why Chiampa is growing his hair out, it makes him look like a leaned out Bugsy McGraw.

Pretty much. He rubbed pretty much all the Elite guys the wrong way, and it was probably a big reason he ended up out the door. Don Callis and Chris Jericho were working on mending fences for a while and I suppose it finally paid off for them. It's brilliant really, since it seems like everyone wins. New Japan gets a better US partner, AEW gets several potential hot angles and matches, and even Impact was able to see a boost to their viewership.

So it looks like this was all part of the angle to get AEW and NJPW working together via Impact. Makes sense when you consider how they were seemingly unafraid to mention Bullet Club on TV in terms of the current Omega/Good Brothers/Bucks grouping as opposed to just referencing it as something from their past. Not only is Kenta part of the Bullet Club in New Japan, he's also got a US title match upcoming with Mox, so it all ties together beautifully. Also Kenta was straight up mentioning going to Jacksonville two days ago on Twitter and apparently no one noticed, which is great.

Considering the NJPW Global account just replied to a tweet about KENTA on Dynamite with emoji eyes, I'm guessing so.

Did the Forbidden Door just get opened?

KENTA HOLY SHIT

Can Fenix and Omega wrestle on every show? Good Lord those two are amazing together.

I loved Tully channeling his inner Bobby the Brain with the sequin-lapel jacket.

Somehow everyone no selling that the officiant is James F'N Mitchell kept cracking me up.

Time for BIG MONEY MATT

Finish didn't go as smooth as they hoped but that was a really good match. Britt's going to end up being one of those cases where getting injured was a blessing since it led to her being able to really nail her character.

That was a neat little battle royal to kick things off. Yes! That would be awesome..... "I got you crazy kids a present" "uhh.......we're good Jake"

This. I'm still amazed we saw someone relevant on main roster WWE.

Yeah this wedding needs to end with Miro killing Kip.

I've seen it mentioned that perhaps a lot of the feelings about Bad Bunny come from him being a primarily non English star and that causes a lot of English speakers to think he's no one special. Like, "he's not marketed to ME so he can't be a superstar". Kind of reminds me of the people who argue with Dave on Twitter over people like Santo being a bigger star culturally than Hulk Hogan. FWIW I'm officially an Old Man too and I've never heard any of his music other than what's been done on WWE TV, but the guy's a star and a big deal in a demo they've long tried to reach out to. WWE has been amazingly lucky that he also appears to be a big wrestling fan as well and wants to do more things with them.

Yeah it's just odd to me that after everything you list, they brought him back to push anyway, only for them to give up and totally forget about him. The mind boggles what could have happened for them to finally wash their hands of him after putting up with everything else.
