the ankle surgery he had in February typically carries a recovery time of six to twelve months, so Kota of course declared he'd be ready to go in three

Remains very funny to me that Kevin Kelly got the AEW contract all the grifters dream of, but fumbled the bag because he couldn’t not be weirdlynaggro towards Ian Riccaboni.

Kevin Kelly fumbled the bag because all people who begin being drawn into the qanon orbit seem to burn their own lives down, I would say

The aggro part happened because Ian correctly called Kevin out on being a qanon fan, if I have the timeline right

As much as it blows having this qanon stuff out in the public, it is nice to be able to find out when someone is a total lunatic and be able to write them off as a lost cause

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.

The rant was the final stick but lets not forget that Kelly bombed pretty hard as lead commentator and even as third man in the booth wasn't lighting the world on fire. Turns out his strengths in New Japan didn't carry over to US TV wrestling, or perhaps more likely a lot of the moments where it felt like he did the work in New Japan to learn stories and history were probably work done by Chris Charlton. And he didn't have that help in AEW and it made his commentary feel lost

Add that in with the rant on twitter before Revolution and yeah it made it easy for Tony to fire him

Good news! The PPVs aren't on Stardom World (at least not immediately) but on a separate service, pia-live.jp! Maybe that'll take your money.

I assume it must have been for a house show, I'm also surprised that it wasn't mandated that he fly in the day before if traveling cross-country like that. It's an insane day of flying but if you're hell bent on sleeping in your own bed you can do it.

Plus, the hosts freaking out over being in three countries in one day in Europe when that's what, maybe 2-3 hours by train if hitting the right ones?

Yeah but they make the wrestlers pull the trucks with all the ring equipment so you would need to ask someone who plays a lot of European truck simulator how bad that would be

for european tours they're on chartered buses. if he would have flown in the day before he would have had to pay for his own hotel room so its likely a concession made to save money.

Nakamura said he didn't want to hire a manager to do all of this for him because it requires a lot of money. drat, how much is WWE paying him?
