Punk will be available for them to get again by the time the MJF/Adam team is close to winding down, that'll add some more time to that thrilling team/story

I appreciate Jericho is giving off an early alert warning system on folks he wants to feud with and drain the clout from. If you see newsletters start publicizing how Jericho can't wait to "work with you," do everything you can to get yourself in another feud/occupied ASAP. Swerve has been smart enough to avoid him so far but now Jericho is openly calling for the feud and determined to kill that momentum.

The pro of AEW dying soon: if it didn't, he'd be able to keep doing this until 2028

The last time I thought a wrestling mystery was this direly dragged out, it took 3 months for the first person in Aces & Eights to have a match and be unmasked. This is officially 2 weeks longer than that one

When Tony named all the things he thought were cool that got him into wrestling, nobody ever questioned why none of them were like...All Japan Women or Aja Kong or Manami Toyota. Or why Kenny was explicitly given control of recruiting for the division (because Tony didn't give a poo poo)

They're not signing Giulia. Hell, this is going to be the second time they won't sign Mercedes Mone

Do you think Tony wants a women’s division or does he feel he’s obligated to have one? Or does he feel that one match per show is fine since a lot of the wrestling he watched growing up only had one (or none) per show?

Obligated

If he's leaving the Devil story sucks poo poo as a goodbye, if he signed an extension months ago privately and this is what it's like with him having creative control/say in his stories going forward it sucks poo poo and is going to be a long 4-5 years for the fans. The rare scenario where every result's bad

The Player's Tribune essay does kinda feel like what someone would do and say if their deal was actually basically done and this was their last show, but at the same time a) they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt and b) it may actually make it worse if they knew he was gone (with or without his injury status, with or without it being what he wanted/booked) and this/the Devil stuff was the best they could do, or wanted to do, to fill the time for his farewell

The best part of the scrum was easily Swerve going "I don't care about Keith anymore, he's a time-waster and if he ever wants to get back to this he's gotta make that effort and stick with it"

This being this company, I expect it to be what he really thinks and Keith gets legit mad and asks for his release within 6 months over it, rather than covering for another injury to another frequently-absent talent

Reby is the real money maker in the family through her mommy blogging and Goth baby. She ran a divorce storyline last spring and it killed so I'm not surprised she is running it again

Yeah all I saw was the new Tiktok and other stuff, didn't know it wasn't the first time she did this

Plenty of material, like I said, though

Love how even the few times I'm not correct at first, history and time themselves will literally bend just to assure I'm still right in the end. Love being me :smug:

Also seems like Tony was very online today even for himself while I slept. smh, all that for a diss of cagematch

best way to keep AEW on WBD is to give them reality shows. Tony the Snowman and the Real Housewives of All Elite Wrestling debuting on MAX this spring.

Tony ‘s twitter rants have turned nearly two hundred thousand people away from AEW this week. Bravo sir

What will he blame it on this week, the NFL, the election, or the Olympics? So many reasons for why it's unfair to say the show wasn't watched because of something else in the news this year. So many,,,

Love having half of a thread because True Ignore extension filters out all the rest. Much quicker and smoother read, been doing great work for me for over a year. I don't even remember a decent amount of names now, it's been so long since I've seen them. I highly recommend it

I'm still gonna be mad at Tony if he doesn't get Sting's first NWA/WCW music for a match before he retires. It's just production music way cheaper than the Final Countdow

Surfer facepaint has to come back for his last match. That and the music would rule

The tickets sold because the AEW fan enthusiasm has built to a fever pitch for Zak Knight vs Cool Hand Ang. Each AEW event could be the one where we finally get to see this match-up unfold, so fans are justifiably hyped. I'm envious of whoever gets to see it at Dynamite/Rampage/Collision

They graciously offered it to AAA for Triplemania but Konnan didn't know how he could fit the hour into the timeslot

If I was a billionaire, I'd probably use all that money to play wrestling action figures but for real. But then imagine if my favorite action figure called me a clown in a highly publicized interview? I'd have to have my newest favorite retro figure come out and say "actually he's not a clown, and I enjoy the way he plays with me" in a partially occupied arena.
