I DON'T GIVE A CRAP WHAT SHE BELIEVES THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS CHANGED MY LIFE #HUFFLEPUFF
In the span of a few weeks:

Vince McMahon is forced to resign.
Scott D'Amore is fired.
NJPW President Takami Ohbari steps down.
Stardom founder and promoter, Rossy Ogawa is fired.

Sure, unrelated events. Perfectly plausible reasons for all of it.

But...

Makes you wonder....

is there a connection....

..... is someone pulling the strings in the shadows...

..... who would profit?

.... who is the last Kingpin standing?

If Tony Khan's big announcement is HOT, I say Jungle Boy has to go back to that version of the avatar.

I am admittedly not Mercedes Mone's biggest fan, but I think Tony may have put a little too much hype on that announcement if it's just Mone showing up. Like one of the biggest nights in AEW and pro wrestling history or whatever? That's a lot.

Mercedes and Okada together, though, that would be debatably that big.

She spent a whole year essentially checking off her joshi bucket list, and then got injured halfway through it. Her return to US TV will absolutely be a huge deal, and they clearly feel confident enough that it will sell out the Garden.

If they sell out the Garden I will absolutely admit I was wrong and that Mercedes Mone is a much bigger draw than I thought.

See I'm okay with it being a three way just cause I think Swerve winning the title should the focus of a PPV/Big TV show and Revolution is all about Sting so it's probably better to hold off the title change and say have Joe pin Hangman so you can further his heel turn, give Joe a longer reign and that have Swerve winning be the focus of a PPV

My biggest complaint with AEW right now is there are too many cool folks I want to see wrestle but only so many hours of programming for them to wrestle in so sometimes I don't see my favorite folks wrestle as often as I'd like cause they gotta let some other folks wrestle.

I know he feels obligated cause he probably dropped a lot of dosh on signing her but I'd be fine if Saraya got no more TV time for the rest of her contract . No offense

Who are the credible babyfaces in the men's division currently chasing titles?

... I guess Swerve is face now kinda? Copeland? ... Daniel Garcia?

I don’t think she’s gonna be that big of a deal either. Stan twitter culture has massively overinflated her perceived popularity to the point that people have genuinely argued she’s a Hollywood megastar after a bit part in a Star Wars spinoff series.
