Isn't Blood and Guts usually early summer? Seems like that would be a good place for this BCC vs Callis Family to end.

They’ve run it in May, June and July so far, yeah. I would be incredibly surprised if Will remains in the Callis family long enough to build to that though.

I think Callis Family is gonna pivot to a feud with Ospreay after Dynasty and its just a matter of who joins Will (I'm hoping Fletcher and a returning Davis)

He has, but TNA nows seems to be trying for a WWE partnership

If TNA didn’t gain anything from their AEW partnership (and all things considered, they didn’t outside of one rating pop and one buyrate boost, I think?), what in the WORLD makes them think they’d get anything from WWE, a company known for insidiously destroying any territory they partner with?

No no no you see that was under Vince the bad boss and now HHH the good boss is in charge.

Cody finished his story, this means WWE is good now and has saved wrestling from the outlaw mud show that aired the Punk footage.

Callis Family vs United Empire after Ospreay and Fletcher turn full babyface and leave Callis. They’ll just need to beef up each side a little bit. Bring in Jeff Cobb, let him and Hobbs throw each other around a bit.

They've been tweenish for most of their existence, leaning face for quite a while.

Ospreay's natural charisma pulled them more and more face over their existence and his farewell program was basically a clearly face UE vs Bullet Club, culminating in a variation of War Games.

he broke his wrist on October 1st and the typical recovery time for that is six to twelve weeks

my guess is that said wrist has been mended for a bit but he's being held off TV to return at a specific moment (and maybe give him time to deal with other nagging injuries)

I’ve had a feeling that at some point the Callis family turns on Ospreay and beats him down, though I don’t know what would spur it on. Then Fletcher is unsure for a moment before trying to stop them and also gets beat down. Then Davis returns and clears house.

I could be wrong but didn't they get months of higher than usual ratings (especially in the demo) and several PPVs selling multiples of what they usually did at the time?

So, has the CMLL thing concluded for now? Haven’t seen em around since the BCC went to Mexico. Obviously they will be back for Forbidden Door.

They fired Scott D'Amore so I'm assuming whichever suit is running things now either doesn't know what happens to promotions that partner with WWE or thinks he's too smart for that.

I enjoyed Elite+Good Brothers, but it's not as if AEW ended up with anything that mattered.

Another PPV cycle coming to an end means I can start convincing myself Rush will be back soon, maybe they’ll swap out Mark Jindrak from Wish for The Beast Mortos in La Faccion Ingobernable and we’ll all be better off for it.

Maybe sending Vance to CMLL for a bit would be a good idea, worked for Jindrak.

I think Will is going to get annoyed with them intervening in his business and they'll turn on him. He's too proud to have others fighting his battles and referring to him as a golden goose.

I could see him losing to Danielson, maybe via flash roll-up like how Bryan beat Hechicero and Shibata, and Callis immediately turns on him.

Just watching collision/botb and Tony mentioned that Roddy was a 20+ year veteran, maybe it's just me but that doesn't sound impressive as much as it makes it sound like Roddy is old as gently caress. I mean, talking about Dustin Rhodes or Sting or something saying how many years they've been going adds to them having such a long storied career but someone like Roddy is still in his prime like.

It’s insanely impressive if anyone is a 20 year vet. Let alone who’s still wrestling at that high of a level.

And he’s only 40 (according to Wikipedia, they have burned me on wrestler ages before)! Lots of wrestlers don’t hit their prime until that age and dude has been everywhere in the past 20 years. I remember seeing him on our local Florida indie’s TV show with Sedrick Strong when I was in high school. He kicked rear end even back then.
