I’m in disbelief. He just wrestled last night. Had a great match, and then came back out during the main event.

A friend I was watching with pointed out that Pac probably wore the big aviators so the camera wouldn’t catch him tearing up, and I just couldn’t.

The weird thing is, I never thought he looked physically older, but I did think he looked like a relic of the past. Which was part of his charm to me.

And I think he played that up with the monocle and everything.

Terrible news. Butcher was a highlight of early AEW, and a beast on the guitar.

I don’t know why she wouldn’t at least test out free agency, with her best friend and greatest rival tearing shit up in AEW and around the world and a bunch of fans (including said best friend) practically begging her to jump ship. It just seems silly for someone in her position to not at least test the waters.

To say nothing of what went down in WWE over the summer with New Day and others. If I were her, I wouldn’t trust any deal they could possibly offer me.

We’ll hear from Will Ospreay to kick off the show

A punctured lung? Fuck, that’s bad. Hope he recovers quickly and as painlessly as possible. He’s always been one of my faves, even though I haven’t seen him wrestle in years.

True, a lot can change in four years.

I mean, I wouldn’t have expected them to confirm the story through official channels this early in the contract term. But hey.

My first thought on this was Satoshi Kojima trying to get himself booked on this show so he could enjoy a French baguette.

Once you’re a world-renowned creator of a massive multimedia franchise and a billionaire that lives in a castle and uses your vast fortune to create legal troubles for a marginalized group and for anyone who points out you’re persecuting said marginalized group, there’s no amount of ignoring that will make you go away. The only way to make her go away is to aggressively fight back against her bullshit.

Yeah, it’s definitely not an ideal situation. And I do think AEW should be more open to releasing talent they’re not using if the talent wants to be released. But if the problem is that they’re sitting at home and not keeping sharp… well, that’s a choice.

Sure, but AEW guys always have the option to pick up indie dates to keep themselves sharp, as long as they don’t conflict with AEW dates (which, if you’re worried about being paid to sit at home, you have no AEW dates to conflict with anyway). It’s not like WWE, where you work WWE or nothing, so if they don’t use you, you have no other options.

What I’m saying is, if these guys are just sitting home waiting for the phone to ring, that’s on them.

I know, right? The only thing worse than being a shitty bigot is being a shitty bigot without even the courage of your convictions.

He’s now claiming he just liked the gun and somehow missed the entire rest of the context.

If my eyes roll any farther into the back of my head, Brock Lesnar is going to end my Wrestlemania undefeated streak.

Dustin Rhodes continues to be awful. I seriously wonder what his son thinks of this.

I hope he’s genuine, but I won’t lie, GCW giving him a platform after all he has said and done still gives me the ick.
