C.S.

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.

I like The Elite. I like Punk. I like Hangman. I love Larry the Dog. I adore Scott Colton's mother and want to share a bank account with her too. I salivate over Mindy's Bakery but they're not open on Mondays and Tuesdays. So, I'm not sure what you're suggesting. I never said one was legit and the other wasn't, just that I don't think Punk is the source of this leak, because why would he leak being afraid of Hangman? The name starts with an H and an A, but it's still Hangman, not Haku.

Which is why it's hard to take DM seriously about this story. He is clearly not an impartial, unbiased source of information. Which is why I'm hesitant to believe these leaks are coming from Punk's side. Why would he leak that he was afraid of Hangman in a physical fight? May as well say you're afraid of Disco Inferno because it sounds the same.

EVPs acting like fucking schoolchildren and storming in - whether they kicked, superkicked, or just pushed the door in - I'd say is very deliberate.

Punk's dog was apparently injured during the brawl. If so... FUCK KENNY OMEGA FUCK THE YOUNG BUCKS FUCK TONY KHAN

How long before WWE loses faith in Sheamus Jr. and brings in the GOAT Mauro Ranallo to Monday nights?

And Punk's peak years were even longer ago than that, so what's your point exactly?
