I was in the front row of a show a couple weeks back and I still had my walking boot and crutches.


I ate a suicide dive from two wrestlers. No one next to me or behind me was affect just little ol injured me.

I like including El Hijo De Vikingo in there, a guy who's not actually signed to AEW and had only popped in for some cool matches

Ricky Starks sure isn't doing anything. And Takeshita and Hobbs? Pffft, what are they doing?

I would have been willing to say Garcia and Wardlow were being underutilized, but this past week literally brought back Wardlow and they pushed forward with Garcia starting to break out on his own. Amazing timing.

I assume Leslie means GLEAT was "safe" from AEW, but who exactly "told" him that? StrongHearts showed up multiple times in AEW's first year.

CM Punk has nightmarish flashbacks every time he hears "Carry on my Wayward Son" and only the WWE can help him work through this. The Usos have generously offered to retire the superkick for the time being.

"...and the structures in place where minimal with on screen talent not even being shown to do basic spots that they where scheduled to do that night."
what does this mean? Shouldn't on screen talent (which I guess means wrestlers) know how to do basic spots? Or are they talking about celebrity appearances in which case, what are they talking about?

I think it's a very tortured phrasing of the WWE stan complaint that no one in AEW "knows how to work."

There was a tweet I saw ages ago from some guy who was telling people to turn on all the TVs at airports and hospitals and stuff to "help get WWE's ratings up even higher". I still don't know if it was satire or not, but I hope he's got at least 2 TVs set up in his living room for tonight.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, don't the only ratings that count nielson households? If I turned on all the televisions in a bowling ally would it affect the ratings at all?

Correct. Only Nielsen houses affect ratings. Number of total random TVs tuned into any given show doesn't matter

I think Jade talked about one time she was supposed to hit someone with a chair and she didn't know how because she had never done it before, and no one was willing to show her how to do it except for like CM Punk eventually.

This is literally the only thing I can think of off the top of my head they could be referring to.

It doesn't look like that's what's going on there. They're instead engaging in some weird logic of treating Vince McMahon like a spree shooter, where saying his name or giving any attention is exactly what he wants because covering the hosed up poo poo he's done just feeds into his Mr.
McMahon character.

Of course you pretty much have to pretend that recent stuff instead of almost losing him everything was met with him strutting to the ring and proclaiming the new stipulation to keep a strap in WWE is hot tub time with Mr. McMahon.
