WWE: better warn the hicks that we're about to bust out an obscure little trick that we in the WWE Universe (tm)(c) like to call "story telling". Gotta give 'em time to get their brains warmed up first, though

A wrestling advent calendar isn't an awful idea. The only problem is a WWE advent calendar is one of those disappointing ones which only have rubbish illustrations of biblical scenes behind the doors, not a single chocolate

Checks out. If a guy who sucks leaves a company that you also think sucks, it reinforces how bad the company must suck for the sucky guy to want out.

Not the stupidest thing. Jericho would cost a ton more than Heath obviously, but allegedly TNA was in talks with Punk. Also Jericho is ballsy in his choices and having AXS become the Fozzy Network could appeal to him. I don't see it happening, but it's an interesting idea.

Sean Mooney (probably?) announcing names and showing pictures of all these crazily different people for the 1991 Royal Rumble is what got me hooked on pro wrestling immediately.

Curiously, one of the reasons he listed for his AEW resignation was that he felt the company had changed since its inception in 2019 and was now moving in a new direction. Based on those I have spoken with close to Marshall, he was alluding to the fact he believes AEW is heading in a more NJPW-related direction that is more focused on matches than storytelling.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

... why isn't this the AEW were getting?!
