I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

Don't they not pop guys for real pot anymore, just synthetic? I could have sworn they changed the rules around that stuff at some point because multiple guys were like "but this is literally what my doctor prescribed me"

Ratings note from the Observer:

quote:

They also nearly beat Raw in men 35-49 (218,000 to 215,000) which is the first time they’ve come near Raw in a key demo in a long time, and AEW had harder competition.

Swole could easily transition into being KiLynn and Velvet's manager if she had to stop wrestling, but yeah, she'd be fun at the booth.


forkboy84 posted:

Aren't they about to have a 4th show a week? Could absolutely do a round robin tournament without it dragging on eternally. Just do 2 blocks of 4 teams or something, could bash through in 2-3 weeks with some short recaps on the TV shows of the matches that aired on the YouTube shows.

AEW has such deep roots in New Japan that I'd be surprised if they didn't introduce a G1/BoSJ/WTL at some point. I guess the only thing that might prevent that is the lack of daily airtime to book all the block matches. Though I guess after August they could do some of the days on Youtube and the rest on TV. If it's, say, a 10-person/team tournament, they could just extend it to be 4 days each week instead of all at once, or even throw extra taped matches on Youtube during the non-show days.

Even New Japan does block matches on otherwise throwaway house show type shows. It'd make sense to put a block match as the Dark & Elevation main events each week.

Yeah I mean they have Matt Riddle and Randy Orton who are both pretty much known for toking it up all the time. They don't really care about weed.

They only really cared about the synthetic poo poo which is what Sydal got in trouble for.

Miro's theme doesn't need changing at all cause it's fantastic. What needs to change is his entrance cause just coming out and doing a little hop doesn't fit the theatricaliy of the piece. Give him some fancy lighting and something like the Randy Orton pyro waterfall and it'll be perfect

Agreed - he kept the old choreography, and I'd be unsurprised if that's because Miro heard it for the first time that night, like Mox. AEW for some reason apparently doesn't give the talent multiple weeks warning before debuting a theme.

I don't think the "Tommy End to AEW" rumor was ever directly connected to the "guys are asking out of their 90 days" rumor, but that was definitely my read, that he was one of them.

If there was anyone on the fence in WWE about saying instead of going to AEW, I think I'd have to show them Tay Conti; not for how much she's improved ringside, but just how drat happy she is all of them time. Seriously, is there anyone in WWE who seems as happy as Tay with their job?
