Cezar Bononi with a Go Fund Me to help pay for his wife's cancer treatments. Trying to raise 15k and almost there. I like looking at these because it's heartwarming to see what wrestlers donated :unsmith:

Right now there's Jon Cruz on there for $100, Pretty Peter on for $200, Nemeth on for $100, Lance Archer for $300, Shane Veryzer (Slapjack) for $100, Colt Cabana for $250, Samantha De Martin (Indi Hartwell) for $100, Brennan Williams (Mace) on there for $100, Evil Uno $100, Marvez with $50, Alex Abrahantes with $100. Cody donated $1000. Tony Khan appears to have donated $5000 twice for a total of ten grand.

There are also a number of anonymous $100 and $250 donations that could have been anyone who just didn't want any spotlight.

Jericho just pushed it over the finish line with a $1,500 donation. Good to see everyone supporting each other.

Jericho is a shitbird but he always comes through for wrestler crowdfunding stuff and doesn't pat himself on the back for it. Same with Mox.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Tbh even All Out feels too soon for Hangman to win the title at this point. There's still so many matchups that Kenny's not got through yet. Where's my Jungle Boy match? Where's my Eddie Kingston match? Where's my Sammy Guevara match? And they'd be fools not to run Kenny/Darby as a PPV main event before this run ends

I could see this Casino Battle Royale be the one that JB finally wins. If you’re going to give someone a title shot off of a BR win, might as well be to catapault someone not already in the title picture, and absent a monster free agent coup showing up as the joker, I have a hard time seeing anyone else in the BR taking it.

Sadly for Jungle Boy, Paul Wight is going to enter in the Joker spot and win by default since everyone knows it is physically impossible to throw him out of the ring.

Kenny is going to have a two-year long reign, lose it and then immediately retire from wrestling.

Christian can keep climbing that ladder by fighting hard and almost losing to younger people for a while longer yet I think.

Real theory: I think this might actually be what happens with the Bucks. They've said a lot that they plan on retiring way sooner than people think, so I honestly wonder if this bullet club reunion is like, a victory lap and then they're done.

Bucks are going to retire first, but I genuinely think The Elite is done and gone as soon as they get this title reign done, just so that people aren't waiting for that shoe to drop forever. Like, Kenny might stick around for some reason, but dude is going to go into the sunset and scrap and claw with TBS for tv time for the joshi become a full time suit.

I think Kenny retries against Kota. I don't think it's too far in the future either though, just maybe not right at the end of this run.

There's zero chance Mox/Kingston even win this match let alone retrie anyone here. It's gonna be in the future and it's gonna be to Private Party or Top Flight or another up and coming spiritual successor team. Passing the torch in that manner is a total bucks move, I feel.

Kenny still has a ton of matchups he can take. Brian Cage, Lance Archer, Christian, MJF, Ricky Starks, Darby, possibly Kazarian, that's all just for starters. If Miro hadn't been the TNT guy he would've been a great possibility and hopefully that can still happen down the line, maybe AEW can do a G1 style thing for these kinds of matches to finally occur.

Is it the one that came with Halo 3? Cause I still got that too.

Also I expected Uno to be bald for whatever reason. Like shaved head bald, not Nick Jackson bald.

E: It's absolutely the helmet that came with 3.

A great thing about the eventual Hangman/Kenny match is that "Kenny Omega will viciously beat Colt Cabana within an inch of his life the next time they see each other" will have gone from a weekly BTE running gag to paying off as the build to a PPV main event title match.

Kenny is 37 years old, so unless he's a lot more busted than he lets on he should have a good five to ten years left in him. In other words, unless he really wants to sit at home and play video games for the rest of his life I think we'll be seeing him wrestle in some capacity for a while yet.
