Nobody under the age of 40 can carry the company. Put the belt on Bryan Danielson or Christian.

I don't know if there is a satisfying resolution to the Devil angle at this point. The Devil being MJF feels like a step backwards, and someone like Adam Cole or Jack Perry just feels like a letdown. Hangman would actually be a shocking and unique twist, but I don't know if I want to see Hangman as a heel. Multiple Devils Theory is fine, but for the twist to actually work, there has to be at least one shocking mastermind behind it all.

Anyway, Swerve should be the next world champ.

One of my favorite wrestlers of all time, Kenny Omega, was really bad in a really bad segment. And I don't know how to accept that.

2018 NJPW was booked better than 2023 AEW. And that wasn’t even the peak of NJPW booking.

To be fair 2018 Gedo probably wasn’t on Twitter 24/7 arguing with trolls who claim the company doesn’t tell enough stories.

So sick of the loving backstage drama in this loving company. Total loving horseshit. No one is happy. This guy is leaving. That guy is unhappy. This guy won't do jobs. This guy fights other guys cause of slights or hearsay or planetary alignments or whatever ridiculous reason. The ratings are mercurial and no one can figure out why or what to do. And there's sexual harassment and loving stupid poo poo. And Ric loving Flair is backstage, for fucks sake. This company deserves to loving die and there shouldn't be an alternative, we never loving deserved it.

yeah

Wrestling is a bad industry full of bad people and I'm complicit for supporting it. And every form of entertainment is practically the same, some just put on nicer masks. Life sucks and then you die. Happy new year everybody.

Are we pretending that Hangman vs Toa Liona isn't enough to sell out UNO Lakefront Arena?

I am a big fan of Swerve. I think Swerve should be the next AEW World champ. He will be one of the top stars of this company for years to come…

BUT he should never follow a Will Ospreay match ever again. They have very similar styles, and Swerve usually looks like the smoothest guy in the room, but Ospreay looked like he was on another level. Maybe it was just an off night for Swerve, but I just can’t imagine Swerve having a match as good as Billy did with Takeshita.

Was thinking about this last night in the late hours…. With the ratings on the decline AGAIN, and attendance in the toilet… WBD have to be furious with Tony spending so much money on Okada and Botcha. PPV is the only thing keeping AEW going at the moment it seems. It’ll be interesting to see where it ends up after their current contract expires in April

Why would WBD care what TK spends his money on? Unless they have a stake in the company, which has been denied AFAIK.

holy poo poo, Randall over on the JobberNation discord just said a HUGE AEW story is about to break regarding their deal with WB. says WB have been trying to cancel their deal with Tony since about September 2023 (this lines up with my own reports). If this is true, then... I dunno guys

Obvious bait, even Vince knew Darrion Dross sucks.
