C.S.

What the fuck is a Michin? Poor Mia Yim.

Imagine if Donald dumps Melania for Linda.

If he's not working, I guess he thinks he has an "in" with WWE because of Road Dogg.

What an embarrassing jackass. Anyone who uses "woke" as a putdown is someone I know is operating with limited brain cells and/or dishonest intentions and bad faith arguments. He belongs on the sex offender registry and in prison. Period! More from Nick Aldis: "I'm not trying to get into the political stuff," Aldis said. "That's not interesting to me. Politics in this country is very, very split. Very divided. And I'm a centrist. However, I feel like as a brand, you should do your best to be apolitical as well. ... And that's not really the meat of the matter. It's more about the audience [having] been telling them one thing for a long time, and Billy specifically has been disregarding them and doing the complete opposite, almost out of spite." Aldis continued, detailing how he disagrees with Corgan's operation of the NWA. "At some point, it feels like he's sort of deliberately going against one the fans are asking for, and it just feels like a very spiteful approach. And I just don't think that it's got anything to do with business. I think it's just to do with ego."

Which is a scary thought, because he's easily one of the profoundly dumbest people I've ever come across. He's the idiot who admitted Nick Aldis was not their first choice, not their second choice, but their third choice to lead the company as their World's Champion. Eli Drake was their actual top pick (which is not a great choice IMO but at least he would have been world's better than Tyrus). "But," you're probably saying, "nothing wrong with spilling some tea after you're out of the company." No, he said this while he was still in the company. I used to have other examples, but they've been lost to time, because who wastes any headspace thinking about Dave Lagana? P.S. I'm sure Billy is seeing all this attention for his MAGA sex pest Fox News Champion and pointing to it as a positive. Yes, we're all talking about it. (This thread hasn't been this active in a year.) No, we're not going to watch the NWA, purchase a PPV, or attend a show live - the only metrics that actually matter. In this case, controversy does not create cash.

So you know this fed is deader than dead if no one's posting about the Nick Aldis-Billy Corgan kerfuffle.

While I agree everything she said was completely misguided and 100% the wrong approach to take, Paige vs. Emma at the first WWE Network NXT show was the true beginning of the WWE Women's Revolution. That's a fact. And Paige was on Total Divas for years and there was a major Hollywood movie made about her life, so don't discount her contributions just because they haven't been recent and have been overshadowed by drama and controversy outside the ring.

I like Ethan Page, but Eddie Kingston should not be losing to him - or 90% of the AEW roster, for that matter. I get that Tony Khan probably feels the need to "punish" Eddie Kingston, but the only ones being punished at this point are the fans.

So, Jeff Jarrett embarrassed himself and the company with a cringe LOLTNA-style promo about Braun Strowman and Triple H. AEW really can't get out of its own way at this point.

It's a fun role. I'm kind of sad Theory didn't seem doing those banana peel cash-in attempts for a few more months where he'd get his ass knocked out before he could officially give up his briefcase. Those were fun in a Looney Tunes sort of way. Cashing in for the U.S. Title - and losing - seems so monumentally dumb and boring. I'm almost hoping Theory finds some sort of loophole to regain the briefcase.

Which is ironic because Hunter pushed Theory well in NXT - true, never as the guy, but it was still a sizable push.

Or maybe not... The SAME SITE that reported the GamePass "newz" is now saying this. What gives?

This is the part that completely fucking repulses me. A massive conglomerate pays to put games on their shitty service, getting people used to a model where they never have to pay for anything, harming the industry immeasurably in the long run. Is it great for Xbox users? In the short term, sure it is. If I had an Xbox, I'd subscribe to GamePass and never, ever buy anything. That's not a healthy and sustainable model.

Legends of Pro Wrestling: 150 Years of Headlocks, Body Slams, and Piledrivers by Tim Hornbaker just dropped to $1.99 on Kindle. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01HDVCNHQ The Snuka foreword was dropped from the 2017 version of the book. If you want that, the older 2012 version is still on sale for the same price. https://smile.amazon.com/Legends-Pro-Wrestling-Headlocks-Piledrivers-ebook/dp/B008JF1QIS/ I got the more recent edition without the Snuka foreword. Seems like a basic list of wrestling bios, but it could be a fun read.

I really thought Mia Yim was AEW-bound. It seemed like a logical assumption. After all, most people want to be with their spouse. The sad thing is, if Tony didn't treat the women's division so poorly, she probably would have.

AEW's video game, Fight Forever, will be added to GamePass on release day. https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/report-aew-fight-forever-will-release-day-one-xbox-game-pass Cool for Xbox fans, I guess, but really shitty for everyone else. I personally hope this badly backfires on AEW Games/THQ and completely tanks sales on PlayStation and Switch. The GamePass model does more harm than good for the industry. I personally no longer buy games that go GamePass immediately while players on other systems are treated like second class citizens. Why would I pay $60 on my chosen system when people on another system are getting it for "free" with their lower-priced subscription? You guessed it: I wouldn't and won't. Instead, out of principle, I just wait for bottom of the barrel pricing or for it to eventually land on the other subscription services.

I hope so. I know The Rock and Cody Rhodes are the names that have been mentioned - and if they have The Rock, they're gonna use The Rock - but Sami has earned this!

Someone else's catchphrase or not, he's more over than 95% of the AEW roster.

Congrats to Bubba @KawadaSmile on tonight's (I assume pleasing) news from Brazil.

The GOAT EVP breaks his silence.

Or Juice didn't want to go back to the company now run by a guy who saw him as nothing more than a jobber with a terrible environmental gimmick.

If Barry can get a payday out of this nonsense, would that be the worst thing in the world for him? Edit: Another fan theory.

Madcap Moss, a super-worker who has way more upside as a top guy than Kross, gets squashed and tapped out - makes perfect sense.
