The Tom thing is weird because there's obviously the whole Orlando thing but a couple of shows ago Bryan kept trying to get something out of him about what he's going to do after MLW but kept saying AEW instead to the point where it seemed like a bit that Bryan was saying what was next without actually saying it.

Man, I hope they find their way to AEW when their contracts are up. I've loved these two since the first time I saw them on NXT as little more than jobbers. Their matching satin jackets gave me Brain Busters vibes and there was no looking back.

That NXT Tag Title run was incredible and it'd be awesome to see them work a lighter schedule pumping out great matches/feuds like that again.

Pairing them up with Arn against Tully and a team seems like a no-brainer.

If he did, it wasn't during THE podcast, because it's not in the transcript. Maybe in the follow-up a week later?

That said: He paid $2.15 million cash for his home/huge loft in February 2010, almost a year and a half before his peak earning years. He was a championship-level main eventer for most of his last run, and a babyface with super-hot merch for much of that. As a guy living frugally, I would think he had a good $9 million or more in the bank when he quit.

How everything's been since then, who knows? The UFC went to him, after all, and probably made him a great offer. But it's far from clear who was paying Roufusport for his training and how much, as someone taking a ton of private lessons for so long without having a fight purse to pay a percentage of would have been spending. I doubt he lost money, but it was such an overall weird situation and he was so ill-prepared that it's hard to get a good handle on.

Doesn't Punk also rent out units in his building to other tenants? I remember that at the very least there was a tattoo shop under his apartment

Yeah, give Tully someone to align with Spears and then feud with The Revival. I don't think you make The Revival heels if they make the jump, at least not out of the gate. I think people would be too excited to see them returning to their old form to boo them.

I don’t have a strong feeling either way regarding how to align a debuting Revival, but the AEW arena crowd seem very willing to provide the intended reaction to heels in return for good heeling.

True, to a degree. They still cheer for Jericho some of the time, but they do play along when he's face to face with someone like Cody. It's nice to have an audience who wants to just be a part of the show and support the narrative being told in the stories instead of trying to get themselves over or being so bored that they're just rebelling against everything.

Io taking an unfortunate accident from last night's NXT and working it into heat. For those out of the loop, that ladder spot went wrong. It wasn't anyone's fault in particular as the spot was executed perfectly, its just that Mia's face just busted open.

I have no real reference point for the Revival other than an NXT match or something from years ago. What I do know is wrestling is always better when WWE isn't involved.
