I personally love the tidbit Dave offered that the point cm punk went into an irrevocable dive was the night when mjf and Adam Cole were on collision and the rating popped way above normal then dropped back when punk was the draw the week after

I DON'T GIVE A CRAP WHAT SHE BELIEVES THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS CHANGED MY LIFE #HUFFLEPUFF

Tony Khan keeps problematic pissbaby on the roster to entice media partner to give them a second show. Has MJF/Cole on the new show and the ratings go up hopefully soothing fears from media partner about losing problematic pissbaby. Fires problematic pissbaby. Now has no problematic pissbaby AND a new tv show.

Sounds like a genius promoter to me.

Love people still calling OC "pockets" when they obviously haven't watched an OC match since 2020. It's the only take colder than "Will Ospreay doesn't sell and has no psychology."

If it's 2023 and they still think that when he does the kicks that it's supposed to be a real move that people actually sell for there's no hope for them.

#1 in merch sales is a tainted position after seeing the limited options in stalls at All In. The AEW brand itself is probably up there in that case.

Every time I've been to an AEW show there hasn't really been a good time to grab anything from there anyway. Beforehand they don't have anything set up and during the show I'm only nipping out to use the bathroom if that, and at the end it's already been taken down.

I wanted to check out the merch stand at All In, but the queue on the way in was like 45 minutes, and it was growing on the way out, so we didn't. Would've loved a "I was there" shirt but alas.

Even the lines Saturday at the fan event were pretty silly, the ones at the event itself were insane.

The stand nearest our exit afterwards was completely empty when we left the venue so my wife insisted on making one last pass that ended up costing me more than the hotel and tickets for the weekend combined :negative:

At least they seemed to have learned from complaints at previous ppvs and brought plenty of stuff with them, I can’t imagine how much they must have taken on merch alone. Tons of people walking around with the legit replica belt in it’s little dust cover.

Before the show it was either queue for merch or queue for food or queue for booze so pick your poison tbh

So the dumbest thing I've seen wrestling fans get mad about in the last 24 hours was Kenny Omerga drinking a pepsi on Being The Elite and saying it tasted like lighter fluid.

Except... it wasn't pepsi.

And it wasn't a punk ref

all of which would have been obvious from watching the freely available episode, but I guess getting mad is easier.

When you think about it, Phil being so bullied his entire time at AEW means him attacking Tony was like George McFly punching out Biff Tannen.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Kenny Omega loving owns. Has an incredible match, puts over Takeshita huge, then drinks funny (which is a recurring bit, mind you) and gets all the Punk stans to lose their minds online.

AEW is so loving back, we just need someone to think there's a thinly veiled shot at Seth Rollins or Roman Reigns hidden in the next BTE and we're golden.

Kudos to AEW for throwing away:

Punk/Omega

Punk/MJF World Title feud

Punk/Hangman Page

Money tossed down the drain due to Tony Khan’s inability to handle his locker room. Young/hungry talent that could’ve got over.
