C.S.

The black hole is back.

It was fine. No one should have been expecting a "Pipe Bomb" on week 1. I do think we got some quiet gems though. - Punk criticizing all the same things about the product that we have. - Punk asking Renee which member of The Shield was her favorite. - Punk owning his shitty MMA W-L record during the painful Arquette "Promo School" segment. - Renee mentioning Punk's "significant other" (exactly like that, because WWE's gonna WWE). - Punk saying that horrible Roman Reigns dog costume segment is making him re-think taking this job. - Punk to Seth: "Stop tweeting!" - Punk's promo on Tom Arnold, really meant for Seth after a "Freudian slip" at the end.

Seth is the absolute dirt worst of all time.

CM Punk about Seth on WWE Backstage: "STOP TWEETING!"

I can barely understand Cornette's Southern accent and the sound mixing continues to be terrible with the wrestlers' stomps drowning out the commentary. Can anyone transcribe?

Sting destroys Orton as a Hall of Famer, and if Dave says or thinks otherwise, OOF!

Any idea what this is about? I haven't watched the episode yet and probably won't for a few more days. P.S. I was tempted to post this in the Cornette thread instead, since he's the usual suspect, but I don't want to make baseless assumptions.

Here you go... https://forums.prowrestlingonly.com/ignore/ Je vous remercie!

Nash has charisma and personality - two things Orton is lacking in spades. Plus, different time. Being the WWF Champion still meant something then. It was still a big deal. The belt really did make the wrestler back then. When he went back to WCW, he was going there as one of the top guys in the history of wrestling.

Posts like this are why the "like" button needs to be re-enabled. No more unnecessary than Charlotte Flair valley girl-ing her way into the argument with her brainless bubblegum bimbo response. I wonder if there's some legit Flair-Rhodes heat there from their NXT/WWE days, because Charlotte got pushed to the top while Brandi was relegated to the sidelines.

RKO wouldn't move the needle for AEW in any way. He's not a star and never has been. He's a meme who was hot for five seconds - that's it.

Sounds like fun!

Charlotte is a witless buffoon. The eye roll emoji is where intelligence goes to die. Also, no surprise that she’s defending N-Word Orton when she allegedly said the same thing to cops.

Speaking of Seth, is it horrible that I'm now praying for him to @ Khan so he can get absolutely destroyed on Twitter?

From RKO to TKO as Khan absolutely savages Orton.

Orton jumps in to take the fun out of it and the wind out of everyone's sails - much like one of his typical matches or segments.

Why the hell would Lagana admit this? Really hope that's a clickbait headline and there's actually a lot more to what he said. Otherwise, oof!

You're right. I just googled it, and it's some guy named Riki Johnson.

Speaking of Bram/Thomas "Mr. Charisma" Latimer, didn't he sue the publisher of the Charlotte/Ric book because she accused him of being abusive, or was that some other disgruntled ex of Charlotte's?

Finally caught this week’s episode… Enough other people have summed up the highs and lows, so I’ll just say that part of me wishes NWA Powerrr was taped weekly because then Billy and Lagana would be able to more quickly react to what doesn’t work (The Wild Cards aren’t over at all) and what does (Eddie Kingston is a star and would have won gold if the show was taped weekly).
