C.S.

That Baron Corbin segment was pretty fucking tasteless, and it won't get him an ounce of heat or interest.

I'm really glad the fans didn't boo Roman.

I wonder if Conrad even got paid for hosting the press conference?

After TJP's bizarre rant about Ricochet's debut, I'm not surprised.

I think hard living - drugs, drink, not smiling enough - did more to age him than simply being a "youthful beauty" who got old.

Even Edge admits that he's not good looking, although I can certainly understand the appeal. As for Christian, I think he's someone who looks better now than he did in his prime. The haircut definitely helped.

That other Hemsworth brother?

Peter Gallagher would be my choice.

Ty Dillinger requested his release.

I think that was always separate from Bischoff, and I'm pretty sure I remember Bischoff saying he never got involved in it or asked Oono about it. Wasn't the lawsuit more stemming from that interview Russo did where he said he'll never care about Mexican and Japanese wrestlers?

Somebody is trying to get fired... Off-topic, but this is a nice pic and moment.

Well, it's kinda easy to be the best mini wrestler in WWE when there was only one other. That spot was always going to have a shelf life. With that said, yeah, it's a shame WWE all but ignored Torito and Hornswoggle after they stole the show on two consecutive PPVs.

Bray is awful, and I hope to fuck he's not Bryan's opponent. How those shitfest matches with Orton (which, granted, weren't all Bray's fault) didn't eliminate him from the World Title scene forever is beyond me.

Yeah, certain posters here seem to make it their gimmick to be perpetually offended. Wish I could find and quote the post, but someone here somewhere said that a wrestler's in-ring skills have the effect of making them even more attractive than they are already. I agree. Also, having something upstairs counts for a lot in my eyes. For example, Torrie Wilson was an astonishingly beautiful woman, but the minute she opened her mouth, she lost all attractiveness for me because she came across like a massive airhead. My favorite in the Attitude era was Molly. Looked amazing and natural, and became even more attractive to me because she was the best female worker in the company by a mile. (Don't waste your time rebutting with "but Trish" when she got more matches and longer matches to strut her stuff.) Here's where I stand on a few of the modern wrestlers, including some mentioned above: Emma/Tenille Dashwood: She was probably the most attractive to me, and not far behind in her ring skills either. It's a pity she's now being wasted in ROH's DOA women's division. (Is she even still there?) Iiconics: I find Peyton the more attractive of the two, but I think they're attractive together as a pair. The accents really help. Alexa: She has a modern-day Nicole Eggert vibe going for her. Nia Jax: I'm in the minority, but I think she's stunning. Even her clumsy recklessness doesn't change that for me. Naomi: Very beautiful woman and fun to watch athletically. Four Horsewomen (WWE): Charlotte does nothing for me, not because of her looks, but because she comes across as such a spoiled brat whenever she and Ric are together on Network specials. Total turn-off for me. Sasha, Becky, and Bayley are all gorgeous in their own way, with their great wrestling skills and characters that make them even more attractive. I might change my mind about Sasha if I met her at an airport though - she's supposedly not the fan-friendliest. (Then again, I don't make it a habit of bothering people in airports.) Ronda: People don't seem to realize she's beautiful because she's such a badass and they're all afraid of her. Finn Balor: I'm not gay, but damn, this is a handsome man! (Honorable mentions to Johnny Gargano and Karl Anderson.)

Very valid point. And to be fair, I have always seen untapped star potential in the Colons. I'm not sure why it never worked out for them in the WWE. To me, it should be simple - make them two stylish, suave, sophisticated guys. That's how they came across at the HOF when they were inducting Carlos, and it was the best presentation of them ever in the WWE. The travel agent gimmick they were saddled with - or whatever the fuck that was with the Shining Stars - did them no favors.

I like the Colons more than most, but really?! AEW should absolutely avoid DOA acts like that unless they know for sure that they can bring out some untapped potential and make them stars. Not everyone can be Juice Robinson.

The big story is, which one headlines, and will Bret and/or HBK's egos be able to handle it?

Not really. It was basically a watered down televised dirt sheet (or the Mean Gene WCW Hotline come to life, except not nearly as entertaining as that sounds) with a WWE spin. The most infamous episode is the one about Lex Luger "murdering" Elizabeth - complete with the 911 call.

That's a fair point. But as the years go on, his value diminishes bit by bit. He's getting older, more broken down, had a DUI as recently as a couple of years ago, etc. One or two nostalgia draws is a good idea, but I really don't want AEW to become TNA or even modern WWE and go to that well too often. Jericho and maybe one other would be perfect as far as old-timers go. Everyone else should be a mix of hot indy acts (Elite, ROH, etc.), international draws (NJPW), strategic ex-WWE signings (Pac and perhaps Ambrose, yes; Alberto, no) and new homegrown stars. To be fair, it seems like that's exactly what AEW is doing.

Really fun PPV. Maybe it's because I missed the pre-show, but this felt like it went by quickly. Wasn't a slog like so many others.

What a heel Bryan is. I was actually rooting against him (and I love him) and rooting for Kofi (who I do like).

Wacky prediction: Big E turns on Kofi and goes Green.

That was WCW levels of bad.

I'd laugh if that happened. Bryan-Lacey actually wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

Someone new joins Bryan's Green Army to cost Kofi the match, right?
