I'm interested in the "something in AEW has changed" leading to it moving. Maybe so it can be better to travel to for Mexican or other Japanese talent? I don't think it would be for some kind of debut, but maybe they wanted a significant location for some kind of big match?

Or...Arena Mexico??

Everything I mentioned are things I personally heard him claim as his own scoops on his podcast.

His podcasts are a gish gallop of innuendo, speculation, vague teases, and verbal eyeball emojis presented as confident scoops.

i mean, if CMLL was able to sell out that anniversary show with just a big fun AEW vs CMLL tag, i think an actual forbidden door card mixing AEW/CMLL/NJPW would absolutely sell out arena mexico. i don't really have a great sense of how over the average NJPW wrestler is in CMLL - certainly not as over as the average CMLL wrestler is on a fantasticamania tour - but it seems like there's a local smark fanbase that will absolutely show up for a show like that.

now would it make financial sense? oh man almost certainly not. but it'd be pretty fun!

CMLL has run multiple million US$ gates so you can charge the kind of ticket prices you would get in the US. The question is would it be worth it for CMLL, because when you do a big show like that you risk wiping out your local fans financially for a bit (when WWE would come to Mexico during their peak with Rey it would hurt the overall market for weeks before and after) but maybe so many people fly in that it doesn't really matter.

I listened to this last night and the thing that really stuck out at me was the Colt Cabana example. Punk wouldn't have worked with him even if it would've drawn interest (it would've), so clearly personal reasons impeding business aren't something he's against, except when the personal reasons are against him.

It's so funny and nice hearing Billie use all the little turns of phrase she picked up from the Midwest independent scene that was active around the time she was growing up to the point that I can trace them back to specific people. I remember when she was just Mouse's kid.

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.

Quantum of Phallus posted:

I find a lot of random Dave campaigns embarrassing. Before it went into the easy lay up of "they're just rapists and enablers" making it easy he used to spend every year yelling at the voters for not voting for Randy Orton in the hall until he himself one day realised Tomohiro Ishii in a single G1 had more matches better than Randy had had in his entire career.
