C.S.

Pretty sure it's been proven. Wasn't there cam footage? P.S. Using "bubba" is @KawadaSmile gimmick infringement.

Hope it's a life sentence. Fuck him!

While I'm not sure a Moxley version of that match would have been any better, at least it would have been something new and different for Lesnar, who was one of the stalest acts with the most formulaic matches at that point. Ultimately, I side with Moxley - just barely, but I do - because we saw Lesnar's version of that match, and it was the drizzling shits.

That's tied with Lesnar-Ambrose for the most disappointing WrestleMania match of the modern era.

Yeah, I got got. I blame the Emergency Test activating my vaccine and turning me into a zombie.

Well, you're a soothsayer. Update: Sorry, folks, I got taken in by a false report. Nothing to see here. Move along now.

Which would improve his presentation 110%. "Edgy" MJF relies on lazy cheap heat. He's a great character who doesn't need any of that and never has.

Why Christian is the best to ever do it!

The right winner. The right champion. Now hopefully Edge Adam Copeland does the honors for the man who has always been his superior in every single way. C H R I S T I A N ✝️ C A G E

And piss off everyone who paid $50* to order it? I doubt it. Future PPVs? Yes. This one eventually as part of a larger library? Sure. The day after it airs? Nah. *$20 internationally

A shameful way to end the show and guaranteed to send all of Christian's Peeps home unhappy. The amount of refunds Tony Khan would have to issue would make it a financial bloodbath for him.

I don't think AEW should make it a habit of having the hometown guy lose, but if there's ever an exception, it should be made for unquestionably their top guy, Christian.

Christian Cage will main event WrestleDream, because of course he will. https://itrwrestling.com/news/aew-wrestledream-confirmed-to-have-surprising-main-event/

I hate to sound like Vince Russo, but there's such a thing as matches that go too long. Carmelo vs. Dragunov is one of them. I don't mean it's not good - it is - but it would be even better in half the time because the pace would be much tighter. The HBK/HHH-style "epic" is overrated.

Psst, @sek69, talk to yourself in this thread instead.

Pillman Jr. already looks like more of a star in one vignette than he did after four years in AEW. I think AEW knows how to showcase wrestlers who are ready to be stars and capable of getting there themselves (MJF, etc.) but has no way of helping anyone along in that process who might need a guiding hand (Pillman Jr.).

Nah, fuck this. If it's anyone, it should be Christian. Edge has never, ever - at any point in his career - been as good as Christian. If this happens, it's more proof of what I've been saying all along: Tony Khan fucked up colossally by letting Cody walk away. Still the only grown-up in the room among the EVPs, and it has created a ripple effect of unforeseen consequences - first Jade, maybe Sparks, and who knows who/what else.

The greatest of all the time is now your T N T Champion!

NH Punk already debunked that. https://www.hausofwrestling.com/2023/09/22/shawn-michaels-didnt-like-stephanie-mcmahon-tweet-exclusive/

Imagine if Jade is somehow rejected after the tryout, and WWE purposely leaks that story to make AEW look bad. Never doubt human pettiness.

I'll defend Haley J somewhat: 1. WOW, unlike Matt Jones and OVW, was probably able to pay her on time. "Walking away from an angle" - artistic credibility (whatever the fuck that means) and Al Snow be damned - I, too, would walk away from OVW for actual money. I love Al Snow, but him getting on his high horse because she was "delaying storylines" is absolutely ridiculous. As proud and passionate as he is about OVW, and he has every right to be, he also needs to understand that it's not WWE, AEW, or even Impact. It's never going to be anyone's first destination, nor should it be. Matt Jones asking everyone to clear their schedules for the Summer Tour and not accept any other bookings was also tone deaf, especially when he pulled Reverend Ronnie Roberts from a show because the church venue complained, and then didn't even pay him. Fuck off with that! 2. "Domestic disputes" = Her boyfriend is an abusive shithead with a god damn gun tattoo and a fucking Ron Paul tattoo. (I'd say that about any politician, BTW, just not Ron Paul. Just how dumb to you have to be to get a politician tattooed on yourself?) Yes, she said "she gave it to him worse" or whatever, but this isn't the first time a woman has blamed herself for her abusive partner. I hope he never, ever makes it anywhere in wrestling. FUCK HIM! Edit: I just realized you probably also meant her mother. Yeah, that was not great. But I don't see how it would affect anything she does in WWE if they do sign her - unless the mom gets signed too, which I doubt, but I'd root for her to get her flowers. (I'd also love for Ca$h Flo to get a permanent spot in AEW.) 3. When she isn't putting on the obnoxious hoodrat persona, she's really pretty in the way WWE definitely likes. I didn't entirely love her. She has massive maturity issues and seems like her own worst enemy in the way CM Punk and Eddie Kingston sometimes are. But as frustrating as she was at times, there's a reason she was made one of the "stars" and focuses of the documentary - she has a dynamic personality that leaps off the screen.

I'm surprised there isn't already a thread for this. If you haven't watched "Wrestlers" yet, don't hesitate. It's fantastic.
