Is the empire crumbling before our eyes?

Also Buddy probably wants to get back to WWE to make sure Rhea and Dom don't work themselves into a shoot, brother.

I'm not going to be bummed if/when Buddy and Black go back to WWE, nor do I particularly care about people not wanting to do jobs (what happened to supporting worker's rights), but they've been involved in a bangers in AEW. Buddy in particular has really shined since Collision started.

For me at least, there's a difference between say Stone Cold not wanting to do a job for the Coach and "taking his ball and going home", and someone like Black (allegedly) refusing to do jobs because reasons. There's refusing to job because it makes no sense to do one and refusing to job because you just want to be difficult (hi Shawn!).

I liked Alister Black the best when he was teaming with Ricochet, but then I love buddy cop movies and odd couple tag teams like Orton and Riddle.

[Timbo Slice]

Black had a suddenness to his offense and a snap to everything he did, but a good chunk of that is now gone due to his back issue. He can adjust somewhat, but I don’t blame him for wanting more money, being with his wife, and maybe some more flexibility.

I loved Tommy End but every name change has made him a little worse. i dont blame anyone in AEW wanting to go back to WWE and keep their spouse safe at this point either

Florida filing an official charge against Cash Wheeler. I assume he’ll prob plead down for community service and probation or something like that.

Hope he gets 25 to life.

Did he point a gun at Christian?

The possibility at least has to be considered.

I don’t wish anything on Cash Wheeler in particular absent actual context, but pointless and arbitrary road rage is genuinely one of the only things I have a fear of. Everybody fucks up driving at least once in a while, and that turning into something violent or even deadly freaks me out.

Its Florida. He'll probably get a parade and appointed to a county education board.

That's Georgia and Rick Steiner.

I sure hope Dax is ready for that big single stint. He can finally be Bret Hart.

"So...come crawling back, eh?"

Evidently Cody "lost" QT's number at some point.

[sek69]

Its funny how he left because he wanted to wrestle more, but hasn't done much if anything since dropping the AAA Latin American title a few months back.

[Jmare007]

Fuck it. Book Arena México for this year's Forbidden Door.

Could they work on tribal land?

[Timbo Slice]

How do you fuck up visas other than not wanting to pay for it?

[NintendoLogic]

The CMLL front office has apparently been a clown show ever since Paco Alonso died, so this story doesn't really come as a surprise. Also, I can see how they wouldn't be too keen on their talent taking better-paying and higher-profile bookings in the States and thus wouldn't go out of their way to facilitate that.

Roman bringing in the CMLL crew as his new henchmen would be quite special.

I guess I basically begged for this joke.

Would it be CMLL's responsibility or the offices' (resp. indies' - only half of the people listed have worked for AEW) duty to ensure that work visas are in order?
