The story should absolutely be that Orange Cassidy goes back to being fully listless and sleepy because his friends were what was keeping him motivated all this time. He could totally eat a pinfall from Shane Taylor as a part of that story. Then when he finds a new source of motivation he can make a comeback. If anyone can go through a brief losing streak without permanently losing his heat, it's OC.

If there’s one thing AEW should bring back from 80s/early 90s wrestling, it should be the various wipe transitions. Maybe they got the new TV trucks to power these.

Eh, I don't think Orange should lose to Shane unless they have actual plans for Shane beyond "midcard heel who spins his wheels TV every week for months" like the Hardy Family and Planet Jarrett were. I do like the return to listlessness because he doesn't have friends or a title, though.

The bots economy is fun, tons of porn bots promising porn in links in bios, but that's so saturated that now there's bots giving out the porn for free and then saying there's more in other links. I made an edit for like 102 retweets and got a picture of a lady showing off her whole anus as a reply.

I would love to see Hook just beat the brakes off Jericho, suplex the poo poo out of him and then choke him out

But if Jericho manages to squeak out a win and be a braying jackass about the FTW title, carrying it around in a velvet bag and such, it could be extremely funny

Jericho wins the FTW title, then announces on the next Dynamite that he is taking time off due to injury. He blames Hook, claiming he was trying to shoot on him.

Great to hear that the titles will be unified. Go BCG!



Tony's statement posted:

I don't think there should be discrimination against transgender wrestlers, or transgender people at all.

I absolutely stand by Nyla Rose. AEW stands by Nyla Rose, and all transgender people in wrestling.

I was really surprised by this after our show in December of 2023. It was not something I was expecting, and of course, I was disappointed by this commission's decision, and that warning.

Nyla is a great part of our history. She was the first transgender champion, ever. She's done a lot of work with the AEW Together community.

She is a great person, with a great heart. I personally have nominated Nyla to TBS as the best social media presence for a number of years.

The first Dynamite, the first shows... look at everything Nyla has accomplished. To just put that label on her, that's not right. She's so much more than that.

I hope everybody can look at Nyla. She's a great person, and she deserves these chances. The AEW locker room has people from all backgrounds, all beliefs.

If the AEW locker room can embrace Nyla, I'd hope the Oklahoma State Commission can as well.

Nyla will be a special guest host for the PPV (dot) com AEW Dynasty PPV event, and we're very excited that she accepted the invitation.

I think the world of Nyla Rose.

It's neat to have someone running a company who is, like, nice.

I don't know who mox or Hangman are. I don't think they have been on any of the shows I've watched.

In case nobody has suggested it yet you should check out the 5-part Youtube series "The Good, The Bad & The Elite" about the Hangman / Kenny Omega / Young Bucks saga that formed the first 2 years of AEW, especially if you're a fan of wrestling 'cinema'. It runs about an hour and a half in total and is really well put together.

Some other interesting notes from the WON Twitter include that the ROH/AEW Trios belts unification match was supposed to be announced earlier but some kind of injury prevented them from making it official since they wanted to make sure everyone was good to go, Carlos Cabrera was a Mansury suggestion because they really wanted to improve the Spanish commentary and presentation with the new CMLL partnership, and he hinted that making the library of past shows available in the US mostly hinges on the media rights (which he's optimistic about). He also said that if CM Punk was telling the truth about having to cover his own medical expenses, that's typically something the company takes care of and he will reimburse Punk if it's the case.

Neat stuff.

Yeah, about that.

quote:

“Asked if they will still run states with transgender regulations like Oklahoma or keep Rose off shows in those states, Khan said he is looking forward to their 2024 schedule and will take everything under consideration with a developing situation.”

Tony immediately back-tracking on his supportitive statement. Words are empty without actual action. Either run Oklahoma again and put Nyla front and center or outright say you'll never run Oklahoma again.
