If he does get fired, I also doubt they make a public statement about it and call even more attention to it, he just won’t be on DoN and Sapp will report that he was canned sometime next week.

I am watching on the west coast right now and that weigh in segment felt like they forgot to go to PiP half way through. Really weirdly produced segment.

I’m really coming around on Ethan Page, and Sky is at least starting to appear more comfortable in his role, but I really think he’d be served well by having a manager.

Wasn't he there partly because Alex has been working as Penta's manager?

And not that this should even matter, but Shida barely even has a noticeable accent! English is obviously a second language for her, but her pronunciation is great.

Willie’s been working there for at least a year, if not longer.

Any word yet if the Casino Battle Royale will use the group of 5 format as before or copy the Royal Rumble entries from the tag one?

Probably groups of 5 given the presence of the Joker entrant that the tag didn’t have.

Effy has predicted that OC will be in a Fast & Furious movie before that franchise is done, and while I don't think that will actually happen it's a great idea and I'd love it.

It’s very funny to look back on the summer of 2019 when people were insisting OC would never sign with AEW full time because his shoot job was too good a gig and now here we are.

I can't check fite at the moment because I'm at work but what time does the buy-in start relative to Dynamite? Like Dynamite starts at 10am here. Is that about when they would show the buy-in?

Buy In starts an hour before the main card, match usually happens between 30-20 minutes before.

Obviously AEW has limitations. TNT reportedly refuses to give the women any more screen time, so when they're basically limited to only devoting 10 minutes a week to the entire division they just focus on the one woman whose mega over.

I really like the wrestling parts of AEW’s battle royales, but they really have to lose the 5 second of the timer hitting zero, playing a silent card animation, waiting a beat and then hitting music.

Also, that pop Max Caster got felt very vindicating to me, a person who likes the Acclaimed. I do wish JR would stop trying to connect Pillman being over directly to the documentary episode about his dead dad.

I generally don’t care for Cody (or Jericho for that matter if we’re airing all of our grievances against guys who get to just do whatever they want for 15 minutes at a time), but there’s so much other stuff I enjoy that I can focus my mental energy on.

That said, here’s hoping they renew the Dark Order’s push once John Silver’s healed up. Given the reaction that even 10 got they’re going to have to do something with them (Elite Hunter is going to need backup eventually).

I feel like they do enough “winner gets a title shot” gimmicks often enough that there doesn’t need to be a physical item that exists in perpetuity.

I also get the feeling that Tony isn’t going to do a briefcase/money in the bank deal where you can call your shot anytime soon.

Looks like Awesome Kong’s contract finally ran out, she’s no longer on the roster page.

Shanna’s also gone, but I have to assume that was a straight up release because when they brought her in they talked about her being signed for 3 years.

Mel is still on there somehow.

Leyla is awesome and needs a big push.

She cracked the rankings for the first time this week, so I think she might get some more run on Dynamite in the next few weeks. I’d love to see them run it back with her and Deeb now that Deeb’s gone full heel grappler.

Just looked this up and it makes me like Leyla even more. She really cranked that poo poo in and wasn't taking any nonsense from Shanna at all.

I just rewatched it and it definitely fell apart when Shanna slapped her and Leyla hit her with a double leg takedown(after the match when Leyla went at her in the corner she was saying “don’t you ever slap me like that again.”)

Mox and Eddie being buddies and dealing with poo poo (possibly just the Good Brothers, or maybe against Butcher and Blade given Eddie's history with them) is super fun and a great use of both of them.

It also might be cheesy but I'd love for Hangman to win the belt thanks to Dark Order, Eddie and Mox, Kaz, Best Friends, and Death Triangle all putting aside their differences for one night to beat down the Elite and prevent any kind of interference.

Shanna had such a sympathetic story with "TNA thought I was too fat" and she blew all that goodwill spectacularly.

Fightful is reporting that talent was telling them Shanna was done back in April due to mistreating extras, so that tracks with that weird Leyla match. I am almost interested in going back and see how her last couple matches went before that one to see if anything else jumps out.

Thunder Rosa got pulled from this Saturday’s Warrior Wrestling show a few weeks ago, so I have to imagine she’s going to show up at this and Britt’s going to refuse to give her a title shot due to a combination of her being 1-0 against Rosa in sanctioned matches, and also she doesn’t even go here.
