So it seems like ACH did get his release, he tweeted a pic of him signing a legal document and is taking indy bookings. I suppose that whole deal was a can of worms WWE Legal wanted no parts of.

If nothing else, watching AEW will show you Cody clearly is working from his dad's playbook for pretty much everything he's doing.

If they keep it up, then it's not really NXT it's just another main roster show on Wednesdays.

This is so true. So many times you'll see guys set up a spot and you know something will happen to prevent it because you know there's no way they'll actually do it. With Darby, there's always a nonzero chance he'll actually do it.

Someone in the business using "marks" in a non ironic or obviously humorous way is like the wrestling version of an alt-right dickhead talking about "owning the libs".

The interview was a tryout, and Jimmy has stated in interviews since that he didn't sign because he didn't get along with Vince.

Both shows were great, funny how they were able to book all three brands to look more or less to be on even footing, as opposed to on Raw where NXT guys get beat.

...and little reason why. When your gimmick is being a crank who constantly shits on modern wrestling, and repeatedly has very nasty things to say about people just for the sin of doing wrestling he doesn't care for , people are going to line up to take their shots at you. He's reaping what he sowed for sure. Sometimes people get dunked on for little or no reason, or the response is disproportionate to the crime so to speak. This is not one of those times.

I'm digging Darby as the skate punk Undertaker

I'd bet money if Vince turned on AEW he'd probably ask why the Street Profits are on the other company's show.

Teasing a Luchasaurus vs Hager hoss battle, be still my heart!

Wow, the champ gets pinned in a tag match and it actually builds to something. What a novel concept.

MJF is a treasure.

I love MJF getting heel heat by depriving the crowd of a Billy Gunn/Sonny Kiss ass contest.

Mr. Ass is here to win the night for AEW!

It remains baffling why AEW doesn't do any personality pieces on any of the women besides Britt. Riho gets over due to her sheer Riho-ness, but the rest of the women could use a little help.

Been a bad couple of weeks for women's noses in wrestling.

AEW starting off guns blazing with Fenix vs Nick Jackson.

TBF a *lot* of people in wrestling do that.

The worst part of all this is all the disingenuous white dudes on social media all "I don't see what was racist about what he said, and if you do then you're actually the Real Racist!" As if fried chicken + black isn't the most distilled racism you can get. It's practically the moonshine of racism.

It's wrestling, anyone with a name will get booked again at some point. Doesn't seem to matter what they say or do.

I guess times got tough towards the end.....oh wait, not *that* Redd Foxx.

Jesus, ButchReedMark just dominating this thread.

The funny thing about Cornette's comment is the best possible interpretation of it was him making joke about famine in Ethiopia which is only about 35 odd years out of date. I'm sure a lot of people 30 and under don't even remember that and saw it as a straight up racist comment about fried chicken. It's amazingly on brand for Corny that even his racism is behind the times.

Sting was clearly the guy in WCW, and with Orton the argument can be made that there have been times where other people would have been a better fit.
