I mean, the one that looked like a clown was Seth (in more ways than one). He was the real afterthought, had to stand there while 3 people were fighting for the real world title AND then became Cody's hype man I hope Roman and Rock's interactions don't disappoint. Heyman losing his shit at Rock making fun of his cousin and Roman trying to Tribal Chief his way against Rocky should be grade A fuckery. Reading the reactions from Saturday till today, I was honestly shocked at how little faith fans had on Rock making this shit entertaining. This is the type of situation he always thrives in.

Yeah, we gonna get a waaaay more entertaining version of The Rock now that he has to actually try and not just go through the motions with the fans. We in for some highly entertaining fuckery fellas.

The "Bo$$ton" graphic is a dead giveaway too. But to be honest, even though the wink wink I know you know promoting worked like a charm for Punk in Chicago, I think current AEW would've benefited more from straight up announce she was going to debut there. I hope I'm wrong though, they need all the momentum they can get and Revolution two weeks prior to that Boston show is gonna be a huge PPV to get things going.

Hangman losing his mind because he doesn't want Swerve to win the belt is a nice angle. Now I wanna see how they book the three way.

I'm all for live crowds booing Rock, forcing him to react on the spot and not do the same old rutine and catchphrases. Him having to be real and improvise is what makes him a special performer. I'll be shocked if he doesn't pivot to a more "Hollywood Rock" type of persona when the boos start on Thursday's press conference.

Talk about a showcase, Hechicero did 95% of that match and took full advantage of it. Made Danielson look like an amateur.

Rock working heel because the crowd turned on him taking Cody's spot would be great though, he might actually cut a real promo in buildup!

Pandora's box is about to open.

Hechicero vs Danielson at Collision. Let's buy that plane ticket for Panther next, Tony!

Bryan's "statement" is probably using the YES taunt all the time now. When got to AEW he said he didn't want to use it out of respect to WWE and Vince or some shit I think people mix up Bryan being honest and willing to answer any question in interviews -specially when he was in WWE, were that kind of stuff wasn't the norm- to him being any sort of moral compass. I would be interested in someone once again asking him about Vince to see if he has an honest answer or if he just asks the interviewer to not talk about the subject. The Bellas statement is weird as fuck because Laurinaitis is their step dad and he's mentioned as an active participant in A LOT of Vince's abusive behavior.

I mean, keeping Brody King and Julia Hart is the only thing that really matters for AEW. Losing Black and Buddy doesn't hurt them at all considering they need to liberate some spots on that roster and giving their problems booking them, nothing of real value is lost.

The final sequence of Nagata blocking one of Danielson's kicks, leading to Dragon having to use some faints to knock Yuji down and then hit his finisher was fucking dope. Damn good match as expected.

To be fair, he once again had an interview were he said he's more interested in something "long term" (can't remember the exact wording) rather than just doing 1 match. If the Roman feud is a long one, it's probably for the best it doesn't involve the WWE Title.

I thought Punk looked awful tonight. Though that's probably because a battle royal is probably the least fitting match for him. He looked gassed, weak and as uncoordinated as ever. The Mania match against Seth is the one were he'll probably cook though.

Sports Illustrated fired everyone on staff like 2 days before that rumor hit Twitter. "Multiple sources close to HHH" ain't telling the Mania plans to anyone in S.I, come on now man

That was not a good Rumble match, oh well.

All those big elimination while JD McDonagh music hit was utterly bizarre. I guess McAfee took too damn long on his spot?

The wording in the document is that the WWE employee was in the board of directors, which neither Bruce or Dunn were at the time, I think. I saw a clip from Thursrton were he said that only 4 people could be Steph, HHH, Nick Khan or Frank Riddick

Yeah, which is why is later said that if WWE is directly involved in Vince's abuses it will probably be a cases with more victims and even more damning evidence.

I think you are making this case something it's not. I didn't read the whole thing, but from what I understand, Grant doesn't want to uncover all the fucked up shit that happened (happens?) in WWE under Vince. She wants reparations over that senile fucker not paying her what he signed for in the NDA after all the fucked up shit he did to her. She's not trying to prove other people knew exactly what McMahon was doing. WWE is not going to trial and doesn't have to prove anything in this case. If WWE is ever involved in a case regarding these abuses, it more than likely will have more than 1 victim that takes them to court and it's gonna be a slew of more evidence, so who knows how viable a defense they could mount. All I know is that Vince has a history of fucked up behavior, and the amount of NDA's he made women sign just in the last few years tells you he was unhinged, and who knows for how long. At least from my experience investigating this type of stuff (albeit from a different country), the tight knit circle of the abuser always knows. At best they know very little because they don't wanna know the details and convince themselves "that's just who (the abuser) is, it can't be THAT bad", but they know.

Oh, I know. Just wondering if shareholders could hold them accountable for running a fake investigation if they wanted to and if anything could come out from that. Or if it's just one of those cases were there's nothing anyone can do about it.

Is there any posible repercussion from that investigation being a sham, as Grant claims it was?

Vince finally resigning just because Slim Jim put their sponsorship in pause (and according to Fightful, there was a potential sponsor that decide to drop off negotiations today) is the corporate world in a nutshell. Only way something happens is if the people charge's money is in danger.

I'll be shocked if Danielson doesn't get his match with Blue Panther before All In. TK gave him ZSJ in Seattle, a G-1 tournament, high profile Toky Dome match, a Nagata match...

Yeah, this deviant and abusive behavior is not something that "shocks" me, I truly expect the absolute worst out of people like Vince, but it's still fucked up to read. This senile motherfucker was showing off his abuse like he's a little kid showing baseball cards. And of course everyone else was probably like "oh, this fucked up old man, he never changes, so amusing".
