C.S.

Cody proves week after week that AEW's biggest mistake ever was letting him go. He was the only grown-up in the room, and backstage has been a disaster since.

PREDICTION: Lashley/LA both go over the top rope at the same time. Match at WM tomorrow for The Andre. Edit: never mind

Kross looks pissed off, and like a jobber, without his entrance. He's the drizzling shits.

Nah, fam (I've always wanted to say that), they were fucking awesome at the time too. LOL. What was? Christian >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Edge by a thousand miles, so I have a hard time believing any non-Christian heathen team could be better.

Oh, Uce...

Except for: The Rock and Roll Express, The Midnight Express, The Road Warriors, The Rockers, Demolition, The Hart Foundation, The New Age Outlaws, Edge and Christian, The Hardy Boyz, The Dudley Boyz, The New Day, The Bushwackers, The Steiner Brothers, Harlem Heat, The Outsiders, The Quebecers, The Powers of Pain, The Faces of Fear, The Young Bucks, and I could go on and on... Might be time for a Which Tag Teams Are Better Than The Usos? thread a decade after that infamous Triple H thread.

Good riddance. I'd prefer one World Champion who can be on both brands, but I doubt that's what's happening.

I assume this at least means Cena vs. Theory is main eventing Night 1.

I would've been excited to hear that last year because it would've meant they were doing something different and new with Brock instead of the same old stale shit. Brock vs. Omos probably won't be "good" but I am looking forward to watching the hell out of it.

Two versions of the Vince/WWE book TrumpMania are free on Kindle. Not sure what the differences are, except cover art and page count. Since both are free, I'll grab both. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JL64PDQ (2020 Election Edition) https://www.amazon.com/TrumpMania-McMahon-making-Americas-President-ebook/dp/B077NK5ZPR (original edition)

CM Punk apparently just buried the fuck out of "Rocky" Mox, "stooge" Jericho, "liar" Meltzer, and AEW/Tony Khan's complete and utter lack of regard for wrestler safety. I can't find this on Punk's Twitter or IG though, so who knows... Update: Deleted Instagram story post?

The reality show supposedly has footage that "wrestling fans will be analyzing like the Zapruder tape" - some source on Twitter whose name I've already forgotten. (I mean that legitimately, not dismissively - I genuinely can't remember who tweeted it.) As for Bucks and politics, no idea. Hopefully not U.S. politics.

I'm not even watching the show, but since there's no thread, here you go...

TIL: Vince Russo writes a weekly column for WrestleCrap. There are no dates, so there's no way to tell if this is current or years old. But his writing style, bro, it's headache-inducing. https://www.wrestlecrap.com/vince-russo/

Taya ending Jade's streak would be a disaster. She instantly washed out of NXT/WWE - not her fault - but that shitty Franky Monet gimmick didn't scream big league either. This would be like WCW bringing in Beaver Cleavage to end Goldberg's streak. Bringing in Taya, in general, to look good in defeat is a perfectly fine idea.

Rey is the first inductee and I assume the headliner. I guess no Rock or Bluetista this year?

If it's a work, Scorpio Sky is an odd choice to get involved. I can't see him starting a program with MJF. Either way, he's right about the fans and media - 100 fucking percent.

If that kid really wasn't a plant, TK should've called an audible, crowned Dragon, and suspended MJF without pay and sent him to anger management and therapy. But it's probably MJF working us. Isn't the source for the plant story Swerve's cousin?

I remember HHH bigfooting Rock on the WWE.com Byte This internet show and saying he had to show Rock what to do in spots. I couldn't have rolled my eyes any harder. Rock is ten times the worker H is and always has been.

Sami is dumber than Sting. IMO, The Tribal Chief was by far a better friend than KO - though also a shitty and toxic one.

Where was Cody?

That would be atrocious. Give Usos a record reign only for one of them to be replaced at the end? Nah.

FUCK YOU! GO TO HELL!!!
