The whole footage segment was just as dumb as I thought it would be. They are trying to work it into an angle but it’s so stupid.
Yep. the whole thing could have worked without the footage... in fact, dare I say, it would have worked better without it.

Yep agree.
Ospreay is great and pulling no punches in his promo. His match with Danielson is gonna be awesome.

I swear Anna jay just hasn’t gotten much better. She tries but I just don’t see it.

So it went down exactly as Punk said it did… if anything he overplayed it. I don’t get why they thought it’d be a good idea to show that. “That’ll put butts in the seats.”

Are they really not gonna have Mercedes wrestle until double or nothing? That seems not smart.
Talking is not her strong point.

Tony is his own biggest mark sometimes. Nothing good was ever gonna come out of showing it.

She was another victim of the Jericho vacuum.
At one point she was getting better quickly... then suffered an unfortunate injury and missed a bunch of time. Not long after returning she got swallowed up by Jericho and the only thing she did forever was put random people in the queenslayer in backstage segments.

Dustin Rhodes should not be in the main event on dynamite.
I know the match is probably just a vehicle to help further the swerve stuff but still.
I guess Dustin just wanted to bump and bleed tonight.

Fair points. I wish she kept improving. I like her but it just seems she has hit a plateau.

They wanted to make Punk look bad I guess. Which, he does. You can’t fight your coworkers, carny. But Tony also looks hilarious here. He feared for his life over that? I guess he’s never been close to being in a fight in his life.

Just an absolute low brow carny decision. They deserve the flak they’re getting for this. AEW looks like old TNA here.

My only other thought about Tony fearing for his life was that there was another incident that wasn't shown in that clip.
Because if that's why he feared for his life, then yikes.

Wasn’t sure if I should put this here or in the politics thread. Maybe somebody should tell Oklahoma that wrestling is fake.

WCW once had to disclose the wrestler's payroll due to a lawsuit:
Paying The Disciple $46 for a year is still too much.
And how was "Hole In One" Barry Darsow making more than Jeff Jarrett and Mongo McMichael?

and I'm sure there was a reason for it, but how was Barry Horowitz making 10x the money that Ric Flair was making in 1999?

I don't remember him being in WCW for that long, but it looks like he wrestled five matches between 1996 and 1998.
Greene was also the one who convinced Goldberg to get into wrestling.

Fans of both WWE and AEW can breathe easier... Matt Hardy went to TNA. Hopefully Tony lets Jeff follow shortly.
