darby is gonna get up from every catastrophic looking thing that happens to him time and time again until one time he gets up and immediately drops dead from massive internal injuries, and it could happen whenever

idk i like stunts and ladders and all that but i dont really like when it looks like someone is testing the limits of what will actually kill themselves anymore. not trying to concern troll anyone, thats just where my personal tastes are rn

Reminds me of watching that last Jackass movie that came out. I'm not a teenager anymore, I am a man in my mid-30s and that movie had me laughing but also legitimately concerned for the wellbeing of morons. Hits differently now.

TLDR; someone from AEW who hasn't spoke to Dave in a few years is saying Punk did try to get Colt fired, that people backstage still don't feel they can defend themselves until Tony admits that he covered for Punk and that AEW had to make requests to get parts of the interview Punk did with ESPN to promote Collision omitted, souring their relationship with ESPN

If I remember correctly, at the time of the interview, someone reported that the interview looked bad for the company, but it came out and was largely a nothing burger. I guess if AEW removed those remarks, that makes sense. But I'm so, very, very tired of the Punk stuff and I'd love for it to be done.

Now that Tony's been dropped on his head he should adopt an amnesia gimmick where he doesn't remember anything since March 2020

The least surprising part of that is "Punk wanted Colt gone". I know it's what some of us believed from the start, but honestly even putting that bit aside, I don't know how anyone couldn't believe it after he wanted (and got) Christopher Daniels of all people sent home from Collision

So I watched Collision last night with my partner's cousins, who are casually into wrestling, and they had a great time. It was very funny because they got hyped up by the Swerve/Claudio match being made for the show but one was adamant Swerve was obviously not going to lose...but during the match she bit multiple times :lol:

They were locked in from the opening promo and trios match. Toni's match was a big hit, too, and it solidifies to me that they've really finally hit the right balance with her.

Most over wrestler was THE BEAST MORTOS and for good reason :hai:

It was a very good show!

turn it all around

Last week on Dynamite Callis was asked about recruiting for the family and he said they’re always recruiting. As soon as Trent pulled out that screwdriver in the parking lot fight I thought about Callis. The screwdriver has been too deeply coded as a Callis weapon. Callis being shown watching afterward brought it all home.

I guess Trent got tired of just having friends and now he wants a family. A Trent/Ospreay feud would be fun once the United Empire leave the Callie Family.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Trent in the Callis family would be pretty good, especially if Sue tries to be nice to Trent’s new buddies but she hates them all.

I disagree with this person. To me the whole situation feels over and done with after the footage aired. There is no point I'm bringing anything back up. Time to move on I say.

Announced on Saturday, NFL Network's Rich Eisen will autograph the brace and then it will be put up for auction by Khan. The proceeds will go to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital via Eisen's Run Rich Run charity.

According to Eisen, Khan texted him that he would take him up on the offer to sign and auction it for his charity when he no longer needed to wear it.

I could see an internal statement where they promise to never do this again being fine, but Tony please do not talk more about Punk in a form where I'm expected to hear it.
