Things are about to move along with the Bray Wyatt pretty thing quickly. Obviously RAW stars a new PPV cycle.

I am not excusing it just explaining it. Kendrick's comments are old news to WWE he passed their exhaustive background check in 2016. WWE made him sweat and wait being signing him. There was a long tryout and probationary period. Even before that William Regal wanted a year of good behavior on the indies and for him to stop smoking weed to rehab his image. Vince and Johnny Ace were finally outed and ousted as "Me Too" level sex pests six months ago. The remaining WWE upper management is cancelable if the general public, real media and shareholders cared and it is on WWE Network in terms of slurs, black face etc.

They've two weeks to fix it but the show has a bit of WWE's ECW December To Dismember vibe. Rather half hearted. But Tony pulled the great Forbidden Door PPV completely out of his ass in the finally and on "match day". He can be crammer rather than an all term studier sometimes.

Triple H is high on Theory. This was his Hog Pen match basically.

Becky Lynch into WON HOF is way too fucking early. I'd hate for her being inducted this soon. Her retiring Ronda at Wrestlemania, her autobiography will be Have A Nice Day level good and successful and her having a run under NOT Vince and as a BABYFACE should be her real case.

MJF revealing he's a still a desperate heel and but NOT a true villain by using the garbage WCW/TNA/Jeff Jarrett "IT WAS A PLAN ALL ALONG" reveal with The Firm and STILL losing is the finish is my prediction after a lot of thought. A cowardly lion. AEW fans and travelling/hardcore fans that will attend the AEW PPV (as they always do) deeply pushing MJF into a babyface is an operative reality. After the Punk-era World title flip-flop and shit show Moxley dropping it is way too early just servicing the title belt as a World title MJF possibly shouldn't win the AEW World title in his career as the Voices of Wrestling Podcast have pushed. LIke MJF's hero Roddy Piper or Heenan scheming against Hulk Hogan. Also bumping or turning Regal, the Dynamite Diamond Ring, Wardlow, a babyface The Pinnacle are possible set pieces or near fall opportunities. Could be masterful or overbooked.

Sues and Xs friends with abandon. Someone zero person should walk out with. AEW in on the verge with signing WBD/TNT/TBS for big money for multiple years. A not hard to make decision.

Who says and who are you talking to? Create a reminder for 6-9 months time for Hobbs specifically.

Not a troll or a massive defence but it is the first time people have talked about Rampage nearly 24 hours later in a long time and after 3 live Rampages in a row.

Toni and Thunder Rosa were really good friends at one stage and fairly recently. Maybe TR is the female CM Punk and I heavily suggest she is? Watch the full Swerve podcast (that shouldn't be suggestion or an attack) and make your own mind up.

Listen to the actual podcast in context and not an unrepresentative clip. Ask why you are being shown something, who is providing it and the possible agenda behind it. The lack of basic media literacy why the World and especially the US is in the state it is in. Swerve came to Britt's defense:

There's a lot to the situation, definitely a book in it and then another book after 10 years or so. But how weird/twisted CM Punk was at the press conference is crazy. What he wanted to achieve and what he failed achieved. Months and months of pre-mediation, stewing and establishing a script in his head. But basically and in short he wanted Tony to cut him off so he could claim Tony was pro-Colt Cabana.

If you listened to Britt Baker appearance on Swerve Strickland's podcast this week. Cole is still healing and taking justified time off. Britt would set up herself as being a massive hypocrite over Thunder Rosa beef if she was "working".

Yeah the Pro Wrestling industry went through a litany of deaths in the early 00s. When the young stars of 80s/90s WWF hit 35 or so.

They grew up 6 miles away from each other. I am from Dublin so I hear the differences. Dublin historically is known as a city of many "tribes" and accents. You can tie someone to the town they live in pretty easy.

Cory (Wesley Blake) is puppy dog of a guy. Heath Slater-like. A "never had a bad day" type personality. Cory and Sara's photos were just big broad smiles especially when with the kids. Like with Brodie Lee sometimes life doesn't make sense.

I wish it came at a point when box office and critical acclaim was greater than it was (the lowest) just seems like a cheap stunt currently.

If you watch the Vlogs and listen to the podcasts. Preston Vance/10 wants a Cena type hero to kids. Personally I think he has those type of qualities and has the looks to lose the mask. And someone WWE should sign in terms of not embarrassing you in front of the media, sponsors and charities. A professional. I get every and all reservations. But Preston is Negative One's (Brodie Jr) best friend on the AEW roster.

Mick Foley's road to the WWF World title (Summerslam 1998 onwards) neither was Bret Hart road to the 2nd WWF World title. The Sammy finish was *actually* inspired by the Bret Hart/Jerry Lawler Summerslam 1993 match. That is how they view him. There's some dream matches for Eddie simply fell through recently.

In short that's basically it. Daniels is as weird/idiosyncratic as much any star wrestler can be. But I know lots of stories of him pre-AEW being go out of his cool and kind to wrestlers on the come up. I can't imagine him being purposely ignorant to people or anything like that. But he was complained about. BUT I am more referring to just the interpersonal issues in the locker room currently and All Out 2022 card/the current set of feuds being a comedy of errors in terms of having people that dislike each other work together and it getting even worse.

Yep. And read between the lines and use your own professional life experience. Don't just use the Pro Wrestling lens. https://www.wrestlinginc.com/970472/tony-schiavone-explains-why-he-was-given-aew-talent-relations-role/

I am the first to criticise Meltzer's modern reporting and sourcing. If anything it is way worse than he reported in the Observer. At least overtly. AEW talents weren't brought to the AEW tapings on Wednesday due to being suspended/separated from each other. Unrelated to Punk/Page thing.

This gets reported every 6 weeks.

I don't think Triple H has Vince's (before he clearly lost it) Galaxy brain in terms of ramping up and packaging a card on a Vince vs Donald Hair vs Hair level. Austin Theory, Bron Breakker and Carmello Hayes aren't Hogan, Austin or Rock in training in terms of breakout stars in the making. This WWE is largely waiting on the sale or Vince dying first, the product a deep second to me.

Triple H's vision vs Tony Khan's vision is SO interesting. And I am greatly over-simplifying for brevity and effect. Triple H's vision IMO is too dry for USA/FOX. His idea for a hot angle is a contract signing with a hot brawl. Lots of tag matches and rematches on TV to the build for PPV/TakeOver. With the video hype package doing the true work. Tony's vision PWG on TV. Sexy matches with wrestlers you may not see on TV for another three weeks or abject squashes with stars facing wrestlers that haven't won on Dynamite in a year. The laissez faire refereeing and run ins makes for immediate exciting TV but doesn't build heat or for revenge of return matches (I'd banish rematch as a term forever) next week via cheating.
