Yeah it was cool to watch but it did nothing for me really either because you know where it's headed. The entrance and promos will only last so long if he goes back to being the Eater of Pins like before. After Baylor takes his break, and he comes back to set up Fiend vs. Demon, if they just do the 50/50 bs, then none of this matters.

I'd honestly like to see Finn come back, they do the match but he gets destroyed by the fiend. Setting up Baylor to outright join the OC.

Potato Joe, with his Amish beard, isn't going to forgive us. Potato Joe needs to switch his trunks to some tin foil, and then he can wear a yellow hat (butter pat). Mmmm...

Continuing to do my AE watch, I am up to April 25, 2000 Smackdown. It is insane to me how over Rock was during that time.

Saw on Twitter that Vince and Bucky Beaver wants to start having more control of NXT.

No Vince, leave NXT alone.

Backlash 2000 was a real solid PPV. The Dean Malenko-Scotty 2 Hotty Light Heavyweight Championship match was superb.

Rumor is NXT is moving to FS1 and will be two hours. Of course Vince wants to **** it up.

I just got two tickets to the AEW show in Philly in October. Pretty stoked.

It’s just sad anymore.

You gotta think he spends more money traveling and setting up than he ever makes

Yeah, it's downright sad.

Yeah, it's downright sad.

He lives in the area right?

yeah, I've seen him a couple of times in the Canonsburg area. Stayed as far away from him as I could.

speaking of sad, that belt has definitely seen better days.

About 1/3 of the plastic diamonds are missing.

AEW announced that the October 23rd edition of AEW on TNT will take place in Pittsburgh, PA at the Petersen Events Center. The arena holds 12,508 seats.

Some of those folks do these shows and such for the money. Others do it just for something to do, they are retired after all. As long as they break even they like to go to this stuff. Little Italy Days might be a bit of a stretch, but if it was just a 30 minute drive for a day's worth of entertainment... It's watch Judge Judy, or got to Bloomfield...

I never get tired of looking at full-blown marks on Twitter. It fascinates me that these people exist. There are a ton of people that were legitimately outraged about "what happened to Roman" in that absurd backstage sequence a couple of weeks ago.

Goodnight to all my Shield Brothers & Sisters, your all Grand Slam Champions to me, not followers but my friends! No matter if Dean/Jon or Roman or Seth is your favorite or if your like me & The Shield as a faction is your most favorite. Stay Shield Strong!

Unfortunately, that's the day I leave for Anaheim for work (yuck). I'd love to be there for one of their early shows!

Is there a more worthless title than the RAW Tag team titles? (*excluding 24/7) In the past year the freakin B Team had them. Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins won them for God's sake. The Revival jobbed like 20 weeks in a row on television then became champions. Anderson and Gallows were never on tv, and when they were they lost. Then they win the titles. Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt were a team for some reason and they won them. Now Seth and Braun. Smackdown's titles may have just bounced back and forth btw New Day and the Uso's, but those matches and that rivalry was always great.

Postby **NailedPenguin** » Tue Aug 20, 2019 9:13 am

Oh and I forgot Braun Strowman and a 10 year old were tag team champions

That's a lot to pay for people watching.

Bloomfield businesses are charged discounted rates if they want to set up a booth on the street, but still pay between $495-895 for the festival, or $124-224 per day, not including tent rental. The majority of booth spaces come from non-Bloomfield businesses, however. Those festival rates run from $595-1,495 for non-food vendors to $850-1,895 for food vendors.

I don't know the specifics of him at Bloomfield. At a lot of cons and such even low end guys like him get "invited". With that it might just be the waive of the table fee, or it might be that plus lodging, etc. Just enough to make the person's expenses zero, or close to zero, maybe close enough that all that they need to do is sell 20 autographs and they break even. I am just saying that many of these people are not there to make money.

Some definitely do go to these for $, and they will not attend unless paid by the show plus the autograph fees. But I have talked to a few folks that are just there to have a fun weekend with other people that are there just to have a fun weekend.
