PAC grunting loudly into the mic before his promo was unreal

I genuinely thought it was a part of their theme. Such a strange noise.

Where's Jack Evans been recently? Haven't seen him with HFO in a few weeks?

He was at the last Jacksonville tapings, so he's only been off for a month. I've not heard anything about him being injured or anything like that. I don't think he lives in the US, so he may be taking a few weeks off to be with his family.

Third-hand from reddit too but I guess on WOR Dave said that while he's not heard it's a done deal yet, there's definitely something to the report. AEW's relationship with New Japan seems to indeed be a major factor in Danielson's decision.

E: and that the Arthur Ashe stadium show is on the table for a debut.

The clip's on youtube, if you want to listen to yourself. It's amazing, to answer question "are these guys coming to AEW?" Dave tells you how CMLL fired a huge star of theirs because they worked a PWG show which also featured a few guys from AAA.

I don't know about the money, but a less intensive schedule, creative input, and the ability to work dates for other companies is what AEW offers everyone. Bryan should have been bargaining for like, a bowl of M&Ms only he can touch or being able to drive down to the ring on a motorbike.

I wonder if the references to gold in the Andrade segment last night are a teaser for the long-rumoured trios titles? Maybe Andrade gets some back up and the titles are introduced for this feud.

He was talking to the Lucha Bros alone to try and split them off PAC, so not necessarily. But AEW could definitely handle a Trios championship (especially w/ Rampage coming).

Two or three people have posted saying they're only watching because of Punk/Bryan. Now just find the number of unique posters in this thread, divide it by the total number of viewers, and you can find out exactly how many viewers those rumors drew.

And I guess we'll see what his celebration looks like next Wednesday. Though honestly I'm expecting at least one sheetcake, which doesn't seem very stroke daddy.

I'm rewatching Dynamite and it rules seeing the stooge Archer threw. He cheers with the rest of the crowd but like he's very distracted or half-hearted. They really decked him out in eye-catching colours.

There have been other right place, right time pandemic era success stories, but wow is Julia Hart an interesting example. 5, 10, Johnson and Anna all appeared with varying levels of experience, but they all needed to be fit into things after a bit. Julia Hart walks in with like 5 pro matches and there is the perfect act to pair her with. They don't debate whether or not she deserves it, they just run with it. And now they have this great plucky babyface who adds to the Blonds act, is great for the heels to be dicks to and they can stick in semi squashes as she develops.

and now she's going to get dropkicked to a permanent end. sad!
