That was quite the overbooked outing. Dar doesn't impress me much and I'm not sure I see the value in slotting him against Lee and grounding one of the most athletic and explosive workers on the roster.

Here for this until I decide its Succession time. DoN will happen tomorrow. Joe Gacy remains less than zero for me.

AJ/Rollins was pretty damn good. A lot better than I expected.

Anarchy in the Arena should be great and at the end of the day I'm sure Jericho/Cole and the main event will deliver in the ring. But this feels like one of AEW's weakest PPV's in years. The main event has had an awful build and somehow been a detriment to everyone involved. Zero interest in the tag titles, Wardlow/Christian and Jade/Taya matches. On the other hand, we've got Forbidden Door, All In, hopefully some G1 involvement and big summer ahead. Hopefully the title program gets a proper focus after this cycle.

How's the doc/dvd about him on Peacock?

This is a fact. The travel is easy and with the ability to run a double shot every time out it should have its place on the calendar as long as they don't burn out the market. On the other hand I get it if they're only able to tap payoffs from a place like that every so often.

HBK can't get his suit tailored?

Something, something, welcome to America!

Whores don't usually care that much what the clientele looks like. At least that's what I'm told.

I'm usually lower on Darby than most but the Swerve match was awesome and the promo afterwards was one of his best.

Don't doubt for a second that the moustache is there precisely so people have something to talk about other than everything else going on.

Just because there are two sides to a story doesn't mean that both are with merit and deserving of equal consideration. Sometimes shit just stinks and its okay to say so even if there may be "buts" that reduce it from abhorrently awful and reprehensible to just pure shit.

Taylor Swift is the absolute GOAT. Kobashi, Danielson, Tanahashi and Omega all wrapped into one under a Wrestlemania banner and presentation.

He has enough great matches, and in many cases truly all time great matches, against such a wide variety of opponents that I can't see him falling out of the top half of my list.

Cut to Don King beaming and waving a little flag.

Is Roman/Cody the most shocking result since Brock/Taker? What else is even in the discussion before or after that?

I can't get over Cody's performance walking to the ring and embracing his family last night. Add in all of his promos over the last few weeks as well. Had everyone believing he was getting the moment and fooled us all. Pretty impressive.

I might've gone a full 5 with a different result. But a tremendous match nonetheless.

Love you, brother, even if I disagree!

Let it play out yadda yadda yadda. I'm as big a fan of Roman, this run and his entire career as just about anyone short of Kawada here. He's one of the greatest to ever do it, headlined more manias than most and remains criminally underrated by the masses. And he should've dropped the strap tonight.

So apparently Shad Khan purchased WWE. My god.

Vince about to pull a TK and have Cody lay down in front of his family *and* Brodie Lee's kid?

I didn't see any people with insight comment on it, but what gave me pause about any potential Saudi deal is it would seem like most media companies wouldn't want to commit 9 figures to broadcast a Saudi enterprise. Perhaps MBS wouldn't care and perhaps I'm dead wrong. But that always seemed like a huge roadblock especially with sale negotiations taking place parallel to those for media rights.

Of course they pull this stunt right after I tell the wife the show will definitely end by midnight. Thanks, Vince.
