It's not just Vince though, is it. As multiple people have pointed out, this is a systemic rot going to the very top of an evil company. Can't just stop at Vince.

Jesus this is horrible

Joe will get weekly attendances up if we give him a few weeks to cook

Who would have thought in 1997-99, when Shawn and Hunter were actively trying to bury Rock, or in 2002, when HHH seemed to have the keys of the kingdom, that Rock would end up as their boss, almost 3 decades later

Fingers crossed, AEW's 2024 has been really good so far. Copeland v. Suzuki is the kind of match that makes me thankful AEW exists.

Joe had a throwaway feud with Brock where he was so great and menacing and cut such great promos that not only did he feel believable as someone who could beat Lesnar, there were people wanting him to beat Brock and be champ for a short while before Brock won it back. Concur that HOOK is great.

I personally could happily and contentedly could spend the rest of my live in peace, and happiness never hearing a single thing Chico Alvarerz has to say and his opinion on anything and everything under the sun, wrestling-related or not

https://bloodyelbow.com/2024/01/09/goodbye-derek-schott-punisher-bass-well-miss-you/ I lost a colleague and friend unexpectedly a couple of days ago. Let's all be kinder to each other generally

Collision was a good watch, again. Claudio is an absolute freak when it comes to strength. This man would have been over like a God in every wrestling territory in the 60s.

Show should start with Samoa Joe anointing himself as the King of AEW on a liv mic while cutting a promo in the centre of the ring

And now a bad nod to Edge's first MitB cash-in on Cena

That was such a bad rip-off of/"tribute" to the Foley-Edge spot from WM 22

Julia Hart is my guilty pleasure, I love her shtick

oh fuck this shit

Dying at the fane loving Big Bill destroy Sammy the returning babyface hero and new father

He nearly broke a beloved legend's leg, and 10,000 people are delightedly chanting "Swerve's house". That world title belt needs to go to Swerve as soon as possible

It's really Swerve's house

The crowd is dead for this

Claudio just blows me away with how ridiculously strong he is. He is ten times stronger than he looks, and he looks extremely strong

FWIW, this is not a new allegation. Plus rumours about Jericho's casting couch go back at least a decade, far far before AEW existed. Hell the original DVDVR sleaze thread had some Jericho stories

Wasn't his best buddy Don Callis forced out of Impact cuz of multiple sexual abuse accusations

Yeah, they absolutely have to put the belt on Swerve no later than the first PPV of 2024. He will be a babyface by then just by sheer popularity. Babyface Swerve v. heel Starks would be money

She won't be, but I really think Athena should be a strong contender for all the Wrestler of the Year awards. She is brilliant and she has been brilliant throughout this reign.

Mox should absolutely not have beaten Swerve, regardless of the trunk-grabbing (and Swerve's shoulders not even being on the mat)
