This? This chicanery? They’ve all done worse. That promo! Are you telling me that a man just happens to reference workers rights? No! He orchestrated it! Scott Colton! He shares a bank account with his mother! And I saved him! And I shouldn't have. I had him represented by my own lawyers! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since we were partners, always the same! Couldn't keep his podcast off the internet! But not our Scotty! Couldn't be precious Scotty! Deceiving them blind! And he gets to be a wrestler!? What a sick joke! I should've stopped him when I had the chance! And you – you have to stop him! You-“

Has CM Henderson brought in more money to AEW than he cost?

I'm indifferent on Punk but his arrival in AEW signified the end of a certain era for me. I have been less invested in AEW since Punk turned up, nowhere near as much as I was during the amazing pandemic Daily's Place Dynamites.

Is Punk worth the money? Has he had a notable effect on Dynamite ratings and PPV buys? That's the only thing Tony will ultimately care about when dealing with this poo poo show.

Cocaine Tony's "fuckin bullshit" rant from the last scrum was about defending what an earner Punk was for the company (starts at 5 minutes in here)

or dont whatever








Strange memories on this nervous night in Chicago. three years later? Four? It seems like a lifetime, or at least an Attitude Era—the kind of peak that never comes again. AEW in the beginning aughts was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run… but no angle, no feud or heel turn or pop can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and marking out in that corner of time, with so many problems in the world today. Whatever it meant.…

There was madness in any direction, at any hour. If not at Daily's Place, then over at the Sears Center or up 95 to Buffalo or Long Island.… You could pop a mark anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was five stars, that we were winning.…

And that, I think, was the handle—that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of WWE and Vince. Not in any ratings or revenue sense; we didn’t need that. Our pops would simply prevail. There was no point in wrestling—on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the push of a strong and beautiful cowboy.…

So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Stamford and look South, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the pops finally ran out, and were rolled up into a distraction finsh.

I DON'T GIVE A CRAP WHAT SHE BELIEVES THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS CHANGED MY LIFE #HUFFLEPUFF
Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This company is afraid of me. I have seen it's true face. The locker rooms are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the EVPs will drown. The accumulated filth of all their leaks and lies will foam up about their tassels and Tony Khan will look over at me and shout "Please stop talking!"...

...and I'll look back, and whisper "no."
