C.S.

So did the domestic abuser Jake Atlas, but Tony later said he wasn't actually signed.

This is absolutely the worst-case scenario and very bad fucking news. It's obvious that TK did not envision the show being on Honor Club, or he would've done that months ago. On top of that, AEW's version of Honor Club is demonstrably worse than the original, with PPVs now on a 90-day delay. R.I.P. ROH (again!)

This match is dull as shit. I was expecting a confusing convoluted clusterfuck, but not drop dead boring. Update: It picked up in the last minute. That final 60-second stretch was great. Too bad the rest of the match wasn't.

Which is why I think the last person in one of these matches will win it, for a more thrilling moment.

New thread for NXT Deadline:

Men's Iron Survivor Challenge - Winner earns No. 1 Contender for NXT Title: Axiom vs. Carmelo Hayes vs. Grayson Waller vs. JD McDonagh vs. Joe Gacy Women's Iron Survivor Challenge - Winner earns No. 1 Contender for NXT Women's Title: Cora Jade vs. Indi Hartwell vs. Kiana James vs. Roxanne Perez vs. Zoey Stark NXT Championship Match: Bron Breakker © vs. Apollo Crews NXT Tag Team Title Match: Pretty Deadly © vs. The New Day Women's Match: Alba Fyre vs. Isla Dawn Iron Survivor Challenge Match Rules Five Superstars will compete in this unique 25-minute match as they battle each other and the clock. Two Superstars will start the match, and every five minutes a new Superstar will enter the match until all five are in the ring. The goal is to have the most falls when the clock hits 25 minutes. Falls can be won at any time via pinfall, submission, or disqualification. When a Superstar scores a fall, they will earn one point. However, when a Superstar loses a fall, that Superstar must pay the penalty. They are forced out of the ring and into a penalty box for 90 seconds. Once the 90 seconds are up, the Superstar can re-enter the match. The Superstar who has scored the most falls when the clock hits 25 minutes will be named the Iron Survivor and become the No. 1 Contender to the NXT Championship and NXT Women’s Championship, respectively.

Rhea had a rocky start in NXT and WWE (while everyone else fawned over her, I did not see it), but she has found herself and is firing on all cylinders now.

Now, now, let's not get carried away. In no way does EY compare to the human sleeping pill Tony Nese. I like Marshall, but he's mainly a guy who puts others over, helps with training and office stuff, etc. EY has had a far more accomplished career.

Not sure why all the hate for EY. Sanity wasn't my cup of tea, but Eric Young is a versatile performer who can make anything work and work from any position on the card. We need more of those, not less.

True, but I assume if TV ever comes, it will focus on mostly younger guys with a few indie vets (like the Briscoes and Colt) as anchors.

After thinking about my conversation with brother @Dav'oh and others here, I've reached what is probably the obvious conclusion regarding Bryan's seemingly contradictory statements. 1. Bryan said he loves the feeling of being in big fight main event situations. 2. Bryan also said he doesn't care about the spotlight and wants to work with younger guys. I'm far from the first person on PWO to suggest this, but I think Bryan will end up beating Jericho for the ROH "World" Title, giving him both #1 and #2.

This feels like a shot at Mauro, and I won't stand for it, Bubba!

I don't understand why it has to be all or nothing. He can keep his personality while still showing more intensity in the ring. Riddle is the template for that.

Is it just me or is "all business" Austin Theory a colossal bore? The selfie stuff gave him personality.

Sami and Roman are on another level.

Because, quite simply, you mentioned a ton of other posts and posters. I have no desire to speak for anyone else. Not defensive at all. I just don't understand the point of you comparing our respective posting histories. If I said "I have 79k posts (or whatever the number is) and that makes me better/smarter/more knowledgeable/more well-endowed/etc. than you," then you'd have a point. As it stands, only you know or care how many times I've posted here. Maybe I'm missing your point? Obviously I am. Because we both know Bryan and/or TK aren't going to see any of those posts, but a bunch of neckbeard fans on Twitter might. I'd rather take my chances with you. Haha! Look, I'm sorry if we got off on the wrong foot. No hard feelings, I hope. Sami and Roman are on another level. (Wrong thread, I know, but I'm watching Survivor Series right now.)

Is it just me or does this entire show seem stuck in first gear? Nothing has really wowed me.

Aren't you an classy person. No idea how many posts I have here, nor do I care, but you sound like a fucking goober using that as a talking point against me. In your immortal words, fuck off! The rest of your post - I have no idea what's going on or how many blunts you smoked before posting it. Jilted lovers?! WTF are you babbling about??? As for "flogging a dead horse here," in case no one clued you in, this is a fucking wrestling discussion board. That means we discuss wrestling here, at length. Maybe you need 7900+ posts (like I supposedly have) to figure that one out.

Looking forward to this show!

@Gramsci, @Embrodak, @Sean Reedy, and others summed up my feelings on Bryan perfectly. He did sign, so this is an irrelevant question. Congrats for posting one of the most intellectually dishonest and downright pointless comments I've ever seen on PWO.

Kenny and Bucks doing their wink-wink-nudge-nudge shooty-shoot bullshit would still irritate people no matter what because The Elite is always going to have Cornette cucks against them sucking on Blue Chew and babbling about outlaw mudshows (just to be clear, I don't mean anyone on PWO), but it would be far less of a distraction and talking point if Kenny didn't hypocritically and disingenuously try to present himself as a peacemaker (not the Cena character) just the day before. I'm in the "fuck what Bryan Danielson wants" camp. If I'm Tony, I don't give a shit what he wants. He should care what the fans want, and that's to see Danielson in meaningful main event situations.

Yeah, it isn't fair blaming Booker T for bag of bones Martel disintegrating after not wrestling for several years.

Even though it's obvious, AEW is not telegraphing it. Notice that the last three matches in the graphic include the disclaimer (if necessary).

It still sucks.
