To be fair, he's also a political figure, so that also resets the Days Without Goons Wishing Death On A Politician board from its previous state of 0

Miro and Punk never overlapped in WWE did they? That could be a good feud and another great victory for the Redeemer.

They uploaded the unedited version of the Santana and Ortiz/FTR press conference.

Jesus, if they'd only played the whole thing. There is so much passion and energy here.

Santana going "enough of this 'wrestling'" is just loving perfect.

Holy poo poo. I thought maybe the promo went tits up after Santana brought the photos out but actually he just obliterated FTR. Absolutely loving annihilated them on the mic

People make the comparison of modern WWE to latter day WCW, but right now AEW is really hitting the feel I had for WWE in 2000.

I recall being in MSG, waiting to be let in for Royal Rumble 2000. Chris Jericho was the latest big acquisition to jump to the company from WCW and was figuring himself out, but there was the open secret that ECW's Taz was going to be the mystery opponent against Kurt Angle on the show, which itself was exciting. The waiting fans chanted "WE WANT TAZ!" until it died down. Then they started chanting "WE WANT BENOIT!" because the garbage fire of WCW was letting some of their most talented and underutilized guys sneak out the door to WWF. He and the others wouldn't be showing up for a week or so, but whatever. They were probably on their way and there was so much potential on the horizon.

All this, plus I was about to check out an exciting product that didn't need all these new names, but was still better for it.

AEW has me pumped and a bit nostalgic, is what I'm saying.

This was, incidentally, the show that got me into wrestling. Even today, the theatre and spectacle are really excellent.

Rusev's main roster debut was the 2014 Rumble, Punk's last match. Punk helped eliminate him, since they were doing the "multiple guys need to work together to throw out the hoss" spot.

funny enough, Punk was the man who told Miro in his inaugral Royal Rumble "you have to do something big. you need to come after me" which he did, and then Punk left WWE forever. So if anything, would be fitting for Miro to come after him once more to finish the job.

I'm not WISHING it. It's a Rush Limbaugh situation where nature will take it's course, and then I'll be happy. Also I take no issue with him as a wrestler, just a mass murder endorsing, poor hating CHUD who is almost certainly responsible for at least some covid deaths. I guess my empathy ends when someone makes it clear they don't have any for anyone.

Remember that book about Kane's backstory that WWE published where Kane was like a cursed child who lived in a box or whatever cause his whole family died, and then somehow became a well adjusted high school jock until Katie Vick died and then he became feral mountain man eating squirrels and making GBS threads in a cave for several years until he somehow got a job as a dock worker and then saw the Undertaker on TV and was like "I think that's my brother, I need to murder him" and then Paul Bearer drugged him up on chemicals and sent him to some South American death squad training camp where he fought Gene Snitsky until he was an unstoppable killing machine and then he went to WWE and had the inferno match that the book itself described as "disappointing"

If they don’t license Final Countdown for Danielson then I hope BBT uses his time Warner connections to get the original Elmer Fudd version of his WWE theme.

Welp those buyers have officially backed out. So I'm still stuck in Louisiana for the time being. The buyers said they might be interested again and then later when I asked for an update said I was too pushy.

Punk getting squashed by Miro immediately then Hardy coming out to mock him for biting the Hardy style or whatever would be good. Let Punk exit with a win over Hardy who seems to have no problem putting young talent over (which I think is the easiest mark of a HoF talent)
