Tony does not know how to book the women if it's not a title match program -and even in those, the angles are pedestrian at best- and Britt needed at least a year away from chasing any belts so she got lost in limbo like so many of AEW's roster.

Yeah, WWE is for sure getting him. The only question is the type of deal they offer him. I still think they are best suited for a short stint that milks the most out of his name value and ends before Punk gets any big ideas about his role in the company. Even if WWE decides to wait because they don't need him, they will still call him eventually.

I read it's Starks vs Dragon in a Texas Death Match next week? I know he has the Saber match coming up but Ricky better win that shit...

I tuned out after the cool opener, I guess the little girls screaming her lungs out got tired?

To the things @MoS pointed out, there's also a huge issue with how expensive AEW tickets are compared to the first show they have in a market. Fans have very little incentive to buy a weekly TV ticket in advance when they either don't have much expectations about a show worth watching or they know tickets will go waaay down the week of the show. Though, as Grand Slam has shown, there's big portion of fans that don't bother checking out twice to see if prices went down.

The pop for Rock's music hitting was insane. It's pretty wild when we judge how over some of these wrestlers are (or are getting) and then something of a completely different level like that shit happens.

These advances are pretty damn terrible. Maybe it's time to move on from MJF as champ and let him and Cole cook without having the strap involved?

As most people were anticipating, tomorrow there will be a lot of cuts for people with office jobs. Endeavor's very first 'deavors season.

She's gonna do even better in WWE. They are more suited to play to her strengths and give her enough reps to get better in the ring. The biggest question is if she's willing to be a more full time performer or she'll get special treatment (and how that would fare in the E's polítical climate).

Great Danielson interview. Talks about losing Punk, Starks and his coming future as an sporadic wrestler https://www.si.com/fannation/wrestling/news/bryan-danielson-details-his-future I could see him showing up on a Lucha show with a mask for a 2 month run in 2026, lol.

Seems FOX is out of the next TV deal negotiations and Amazon or Disney will get them. HHH was spotted next to Jeff Bezos at NY Fashion Week too.

That's fascinating, this makes a lot more sense why the podcasting bubble continues to grow. It's also hilarious how companies continue to find ways to throw money at the wall and see what sticks, regardless of how much money they are throwing

I...guess? If Tenryu is a 10 in the Tenryu scale, Mox might be a 3.

I guess Tony will add all the days Bryan "owes" because of injury by making him full blown booker after 2024

Swerve and Hangman starting a feud seems promising too. I think this is the best booked Dynamite after a PPV I've seen in the 2 years I've been following the promotion.

Joe is the perfect opponent for this version of MJF. Promo went long but I kinda like Max being the insecure and immature dude he's always been...but he's trying to be better, that's what character development should be.

Specially if it's fucking Jericho. It wasn't a promo per se but Starks did not disappoint in that pre tape post All Out. The teased a Danielson promo for Collision right after it so I guess we getting a rematch at Grand Slam maybe? I Quit match?

I rewatched it and I was still wincing at every shot they took after the one Dragon gave Ricky on the top rope. From that point forward the match was so fucking violent. Commentary team being as weary, disgusted and in awe as everyone else was kinda funny. Normally they are quick to call these type of matches a classic (because it was) but shit was so savage that they were probably concerned for both of them taking that kind of punishment. I cannot fucking wait for Ricky's promo on Collision.

This show was fucking awesome. Hobbs vs Miro made me smile like I haven't with a wrestling match in quite a while. Danielson vs Stark made me squirm like I haven't in a long, long time. What a fucking match. Omega and Takeshita delivered even though they were in a tough position in the card. Don't like Mox winning, at all, OC better get this W back relatively soon and this better become a lasting feud.

I assumed the "fear for my life" was a line fed to him by the legal team, every line on that whole statement was there for a reason.

Well, Danielson is back 1 month before it was expected so we probably should enjoy what he does before he's on the shelf again.

All Out might be an entire different animal, but I did not expect such a tame crowd from Collision. Very few pocket of fans wanted to even try to get a CM Punk chant going and it died down quick as fuck. Legit surprised by that. If it happens tomorrow too it would mean people from every corner of the fandom was tired of the bullshit and just wanted to move on.

WWE should offer him a 3 month per appearance deal were they get the benefits of him coming back, creating buzz, having a big angle to set up a big match at a PLE and then send him back home before he gets any ideas of him having a bigger role in the company (or starting shit because he thinks other people shouldn't have certain pushes or positions). Basically, make some good money for a short run and let him go quickly before he ruins it.

1.- I get it, though I don't agree with it in the sense that this was a last resort move that could've been avoided sooo many fucking times that it's very hard to accept this outcome and not be bummed out about it. 2.- Punk was a moron and behaved like a 43 year old adolescent so I don't feel bad for him. I'm bummed because he could still give us an interesting wrestling product and we are not gonna see it in a company that badly needs his level of understanding and vision of pro wrestling. 3.- The side that "won" is just as bad as Punk and this firing will not solve the glaring issues AEW has backstage. I feel like Punk played into the hands of the people he resented in the company, he did exactly what they were expecting and in the end he lost. 4.- A lot of us were weary of making Collision "the Punk show". I thought injuries were gonna be the thing fucked those plans but him being fired is even worse. The fuck you do that with that time slot? 5.- How long before we get the "tell all" podcast with Nick Hausman? Phil is gonna unload and a portion of the AEW fanbase will not know what to do with themselves. 6.- How long before someone shows up and asks if this some super well thought out "work"? EDIT: oh shit, it already happened! LMAO

The All Out card should be the Grand Slam card, not a fucking PPV. After this show, Chicago is going to 100% rely on Punk coming back to sell tickets again because this show is a "sorry, couldn't help it, it really isn't my fault...but fuck you" by AEW.
