Yeah Jay's not a front runner right now but given CM Punk's injury the race is wide open and I can see Jay winning with a strong second half. Especially if Okada takes some paternity leave after the G1

Want to know which shows Roman stole

Especially this year where his history, before he went on forever vacation, was highlighted by two short and lovely matches with Brock, one of which was so short and lovely his fanbase convinced themselves he was seriously injured in the match.

Not going to bother posting specific tweets (it's probably against thread rules anyway), but I had a few tweets regarding the WWE Pride Month photoshoot show up on my timeline, and besides the usual vile lashing out from bigots there was also one weirdo in the replies constantly posting the same images containing allegations regarding Triple H and Buddy Matthews having done stuff to Alexa Bliss. Out of sheer morbid curiosity I checked that poster's account and it's literally nothing but them tweeting that at anything wrestling related.

Booker T has you covered:

https://wrestlingnews.co/aew-news/booker-t-on-jeff-hardys-arrest-i-think-aew-has-some-responsibility-to-bear/

quote:

I’ve seen comments already saying AEW didn’t put the drink in his hand and didn’t put the keys in his hand and make him drive. Yeah, they didn’t, but I think AEW has some responsibility to bear because you go back and look at the compilation of death defying dives Jeff Hardy has pulled off since arriving in AEW, and I’m gonna tell you right there that pain comes along with that. When you’ve got pain, a lot of times you will go and drink or take drugs to numb the pain, and therefore, drat it, I just relapsed. Did he try to do it? Probably not. But that’s what people with addiction do. So they do have some responsibility to bear here.

People always use the "Vince likes people who stand up to him" line but I don't think there's any real basis to it. Vince is a weird old man who chooses who he likes and doesn't like seemingly on random whims and once he makes that decision nothing you do will ever change it.

Vince only likes it when you stand up in the right way. He even instructed the media team to prepare some helpful graphics.

Sasha had previous conflicts with him (over those same titles!) and asked for her release before. They'd managed to work things out for the three years between then and now. Walking out mid-show just seems like the hang-up/point of no return for him, see how it was the end of Punk and PAC there, whereas with her it didn't get that far till now and now that it did it's probably the end for them both too there

IIRC from his documentary, the way Arquette tells it he had said anything but the face because as an actor that’s the money maker, and when Gage started waving a broken light tube around near his face he panicked.

He only got stabbed in the neck because he grabbed Gage by the legs and tried to trip him to get away, so he was pushed off balance while waving a broken light tube around.

Yeah, that dope is conflating two things. The cut on the throat was an accident but I do remember hearing that Arquette asked for his forehead to not be mauled, and I think that's what led to him freaking out and turning neck-first into the light tube?

Yeah Gage going too far with that caused him to freak out which led to the accident.

It requires ignoring both the story Gage and Arquette tell about what happened to think Gage was trying to kill him.
