Man, seeing all that money raised & that Tony Khan donated $5k brought a tear to my eye, I won't front. Sometimes the wrestling community is pretty cool. Most of us have been on wrestling forums for over twenty years at this point. We all know Dean, I feel, or at least his writings.

After reading about the Ashley Massaro/Tribute for the Troops shit, nothing about WWE surprises me anymore. That place is an acid pit of filth, ran by people with no morals or apathy, that get away with everything.

I don't dislike the House of Black, although it can be a bit corny at times (especially Julia Hart) but I'm ready for a Brody King singles run where he just Gonzo Bombs everyone.

"Bro, listen, bro." That could legitimately be used as a torture device. I have not watched NXT basically at all since it became this new incarnation of itself. So I'm just waiting for Bron on the main roster & to see if he catches on. This returning Draft nonsense might be a good way to get him onto one of the shows at least.

Sol Rucca & Nikita Lyons could both be break out stars for WWE in the future, for sure. I could see them main eventing night one of WrestleMania is like five years. As long as they stay healthy & don't get in their own way with social media nonsense (more speaking for Nikita there).

Naw, let's not never mind. Ragemaster's new MAGA gimmick fucking sucks & if he keeps it up, just ban his dumb ass.

This all reminds me of the Tonight Show when Jay Leno was supposed to be replaced by Conan O'Brien & then Leno decided "that doesn't work for me, brother."

Wow. Just wow.

I’m very much out of touch.

Man, what a fucking match. Goddamn. Think they just stole the show.

Don’t be happy it happened, just be glad it’s over.

This match isn’t good. Why do they keep bringing back Lita & Trish anyway?

Logan Paul > Austin Theory

Theory is a scrub. That dude ain’t got it. This is like trying to put over Eric Watts.

The Willow Powerbomb on Anna Jay was pretty bad too.

Today is my father's birthday. I've never asked him but I feel like growing up he had to have hated that his birthday was on April Fools Day. Nevertheless, I got to call him & talk to him today & wish him a happy birthday. I told him that he shares a birthday this year with WrestleMania & he said "does that still happen?" I got a kick out of that. My wife & I will be watching at least some of the show tonight. Back during the Royal Rumble, my wife went to bed before the main event, so she missed the angle that played out with Sami finally turning against Roman & Jey leaving & all that. So I look forward to her getting to see some of the video packages tonight when they're retelling the story before the match or on the preshow. I did see the set reveal video & out-of-left-field & unnecessary random three skateboarders tie-in excluded, the set looks incredible. I don't actually know what matches I ultimately care too much about, it's more about the spectacle of it all anymore. I assume that both Sami/KO & Cody Rhodes win but I don't know what that means for WWE going forward. I'm sure Randy Orton will be back tonight, so maybe Cody will face Randy next. I look forward to whenever Bron Breaker makes the main roster (and I still hold out hope they change his name to Steiner, although this most recent allegation against Rick Steiner certainly wouldn't help) & I'm ready for the Gunther main event run. Cody Vs. Gunther next instead of Cody Vs. Randy would slap!

Since it was a public event & it happened publicly, where are all the other people from the incident backing up & corroborating the story from Gisele? Are they just afraid of wrestling business retribution or something? If Steiner was yelling that shit out loud, even with the whole "good ol' boys" club or whatever the fuck, it seems like someone there should have spoken up, recording it or something. No place for hate like that in pro wrestling anymore. Should have never been, but we know what the history of people in wrestling has been like over the years. Like the Steiners themselves are known bullies/hazers & people used to re-tell the awful things they did to people while laughing during the re-telling of the stories.

At this point, is there anyone that thinks Jericho being in AEW is a positive anymore? Like, even if we ignore him as a person outside of the ring, just by what he brings to AEW, is he worth it? I don't think his name value is big enough to have to deal with Jericho. Give me Punk over Jericho any day of the week.

I’ll admit that six man turned into a pretty damn good fun match. I didn’t love the finish but I was wrong to write the match off so quickly. The hot crowd certainly helped!

Shame they followed it up with this jobber match…

That was a great opening segment on Dynamite.

I don't like it if it's Taya. Mostly because they should be giving that rub to a homegrown, long-term AEW mainstay. At least, that's how I feel. I would like it more if it were like a returning Kris Statlander or something, not a new debut to AEW.

If nothing else, Nikki is a better worker than Paige.

I'm not sure if I would personally agree with that. Not saying that you're wrong but when I think about AEW, I don't think about Moxley first & foremost & when I think about WWE, I definitely think about Roman first. AEW without Moxley right now still has several other people that they could build around. WWE without Roman right now is what? Kevin Owens & Drew McIntyre still? They have Cody now, I guess, but like without Roman they don't have any of the Uso/Sami stuff. Solo doesn't happen. AEW still has MJF, Hangman, Danielson, and I guess Jericho. Moxley did definitely carry AEW for awhile, no question. And he was a good champion, too. Now I feel he's kind of moved down & is just bleeding.
