As long as this means we get Thunder Rosa in AEW but without also ending up with Nick Aldis then I'm happy with it.

I was totally unaware of him, so when I saw a video of Kenny Omega talking about Donovan Dickhead I got worried assuming he was talking about Danhausen.

Yeah part of me was like "What's the point of being a billionaire if you can't just click your fingers and make good stuff happen for people?" but was still kinda surprised to see them actually step in and throw their weight around on his behalf.

A former colleague once tried to convince me that you guys have got it made because you pay little in tax and that insurance is pretty cheap - far less than the portion of my income tax that might go to the NHS.

Biggest load of bullshit I've heard in my life and I'm thankful every day that getting sick won't drive me to bankruptcy.

Doesn't MJF charge like 500 bucks a pop?

Yeah. From memory I think he looked at what Ric Flair was charging and then just set his own rate at $1 more as a troll.

What was in Caster's rap that Tony found so horrible that he's decided to personally edit Dark? I say that as I didn't see it, not that I just didnt see what the issue was.

I'd love it if the whole "cancelled" thing got some traction with the arsehole right wing media, just before those videos of her looking like absolute dogshit in training got more prominent. Seing it slowly dawn on the ghouls that maybe they bet on the wrong horse before they cut her loose would be amazing in real time.

It's obviously not a GTS variant really, but bloody hell I love Casualty of War. It's a cool looking move and it looks like absolute murder - far, far more so than an F10

Honestly if she's gonna use Ruby Soho just start with some static or something before dropping to the "Time to say goodbye" from the end of Verses 2 & 3 and then the chorus. Job done.

Why yes, I will go to bat for the lovely gimmick I've been given and the lovely segments I've been involved with lately. My reacting in fear to a hastily pasted-in and poorly CGI'd doll winking is something you just don't get because you're old and white.

Honestly can't figure out what they're trying to do with the name Doudrop anyway. In any other company I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and say its probably not a fat thing, but WWE?

I mean, if at least one of those gear designs isn't already being cleaned up and made as a surprise gift for Brodie I'll be VERY surprised. If the locker room don't do it amongst themselves then BBT almost definitely will. You love to see it.

I was definitely in the "Urgh, Dolph's brother? That's a waste of a roster spot!" camp when he first arrived, but I'm happy to admit I was wrong and now I love him.

It helps that he seems like a very decent person in a very scummy industry too.

It really is incredible.

Between this article and his locker room speech at the Brodie Lee tribute show I could see how stupidly easy it would be to follow him basically anywhere.

Why would they want/need WWE to foot the bill when right this second Big Bicep Tony is likely forcing balled-up banknotes into Moxley's hands like a grandparent insisting they give you money whenever you visit.

The tweet isn't wrong. That phonebox and funeral parlour are literally about 50 yards from the venue they played. I'm amazed there isn't a photo of him outside the "Nice n Naughty" sex shop

You know Ep. 200 of The Simpsons where Homer interrupts U2 and is then shown backstage getting a beating from security while they play "Pride"?

Well I hope the same thing happened to this arsehole but it was with Nyla's entrance music.

EDIT - The song is Pride, you dingus.

How does every single pre-workout supplement just have the most perfect name. Every brand nails the genre perfectly.

I did wonder who the hell is going to buy preworkout based on a Billy rear end endorsement, and then remembered I bought preworkout for the first time ever because of a Kenny Omega endorsement.

It's weirdly pervasive. I went to a state school in Wales through the 90s, and while there wasn't set "prayer time" there'd be school assemblies that included prayer and special events that involved all the kids singing hymns and stuff.

You don't question it at the time. It was an ostensibly secular government school that still included poo poo like harvest festivals. All feels a bit Wicker Man in retrospect but it could just be because we're backwards in Wales.

The main thing to remember about the old timers griping about AEW and calling TK a money mark, is that if he called them and offered them a job, they would do an instant 180° turn and talk about how he's a great promoter with a keen eye for talent and a sharp mind for the business and so on and so forth.

See: Eric Bischoff, who went from trashing AEW, to praising them when TK had him on for a few guest spots, to trashing them again when it was clear he wasn't going to be offered any kind of full-time role

Oh yeah, that happened a bunch when Road Dogg got released not long back. Suddenly he was all over social media talking about how AEW is really good but they should totally hire him to help them get over the precipice because he knows how to make good wrestling.

They've slowly been moving away from it since Vinnie the Rapist was ousted. I'm sure it's still used for corporate stuff or earnings calls or whatever, but certainly there isn't the ban on terms like "pro wrestling" on commentary like there used to be
