I have the game pre ordered via Amazon, should have it within a day or two of release I would expect.

It's extra ironic considering who his dad was.

PHAROH!

Melo out here looking like a star his first match on Raw

Becky's half-tracksuit top looks like something Pretty Deadly would wear,

I get the impression Sasha/Mercedes has some dirt that allowed her to get out of her WWE deal with no strings attached, since even Brock had to sue to get out of his back in the day. She wasn't there because she got injured in the NJPW Strong women's title match. WIllow shoot-won the title since it wasn't the plan for her to be the first champ. Sasha would have made an AEW apparence by now most likely if not for that.

I recall Regal tweeting a picture of a flyer from one of his first ever shows and a young Keiichi Yamada was on the card as well, so they've been friends pretty much since both started in the biz.

Probably wasn't as hard as you'd think, working for WWE was a bucket list thing for Liger and he has 'do whatever you want because you're a legend" status in New Japan.

IIRC HHH told the ref over the earpiece to stop a match because Bryan had a stinger and he got super pissed at him about it.

The Jeff Hardy thing was more about him not being able to go to Canada where they were doing a run of shows than any of the usual reasons. I think you're right, I think it was half him assessing the damage and probably half getting the word to Okada. Also it might have been a legit "I just broke my fucking arm" convulsion as well.

The segment on Rampage where Harley Cameron accused Anthony Bowens of being into here, only for Bowens to respond with "maybe you haven't noticed, I'M GAY" going viral (in a good way) was heartwarming to see in the current political climate.

There's a reason he's been mainly in six mans in NJPW, dude's knees are being held together by duct tape and wishes at this point.

Funny how brother vs brother feuds never work in wrestling but Usos vs Solo is money

I guess it's okay that Lacey stole Sgt Slaughter's gimmick since she actually served.

Not a big fan of Alba and Isla getting geeked out, I must say.

YEAH

I get it tho, it's the two best wrestlers possibly of all time in a match. It's a "this could never happen" dream match that is actually happening.

Another solid show for AEW, love the pop for Okada

Brody vs Andrade for Collision, lets go

Shibata/Orange vs ZSJ/Garcia a banger as expected

Punk wearing a Danhausen shirt, real recognize real

Starting Dynamite now.....God bless him for outkicking his coverage but I have no idea what Toni Storm sees in a nerd like Juice.

Also when did Gigi get turned into Raven? They talk about her poor childhood so much she's going to start coming out in 90s band t-shirts.

I know they wanted to have Punk at the start of AEW but he wasn't sold on if it would succeed or not. Plus to me there's always been a scorpion-and-the-frog thing about this whole ordeal, how are the Elite surprised that the guy famous for being a grumpy asshole turned out to be just that? Funny thing, is Punk even admitted in that interview that dropped right before Collision that he knew he got hurt again in the match and that was what was fueling the fire at the press conference. It's some Butterfly Effect shit that if he doesn't tear his tricep then probably none of this ever happens.

The promo was vetted beforehand and the Bucks were on Twitter after joking in the old days they would have come out with a "counterfeit bucks" shirt. Everyone knew this was going to be Punk's "getting shit off his chest" promo and were okay with the contents. I don't think anyone involved will be exchanging Christmas cards this year, but I also get the impression everyone involved knows this is going to be a gold mine for getting fan reactions like Dav'oh said.
