Was hoping Angelico would accompany Evans, grooving to the ring to the TH2 theme like he always does, just to see what he'd do with Jungle Boy's new theme. WhoaAaaoooooAAAwhoooooooAhhhhh

I can't believe Eddie's promo turned into this giant clusterfuck. You'd think the dude actually said something controversial the way people have gone on about it. Bully Ray taking shots is just laughable. Dude is the biggest turncoat in the business - he said far more antagonistic stuff about WWE when they released him and the Dudleys went to TNA - and is now by all reports back to licking WWE's ass on his podcast, probably looking to get a job again. You don't question other wrestlers hearts if you have never been around most of them which is where it comes off as tacky. Not all of them just go there just for the paycheck and paycheck alone, such an ignorant statement. He just makes he and everyone he is affiliated with look bad. Of course you won't see Omega vs Jungle Boy ever on "Other Channel"(Despite they are on two different channels), they are on AEW. It's all smoke, the people most woke & who tell you that they are real, I find in life are the fakest people push comes to shove. I do agree with you that Team 3D took so many shots post WWE on TNA though but I think Bully Ray is saying to Kingston don't fall into the trap that he did.

I think Bully just means Eddie shouldn't bash someone or something just based on others experiences. Bully Ray said if you have been there and wanted to bash them for bad experiences then he would have no problem with it.
Also not sure if I said it here or not but Penta without facepaint looks odd like a normal guy wearing a Penta mask.

He had a tryout back in 2018 - WWE didn't try to sign him until after he was picking up steam with AEW, and when they did it was for coaching position rather than as a performer - I think he's entitled to his opinion about how they run things.

He didn’t really need to take shots at the guys in the locker room though. I mean I don’t care either way but again - all this shit was stupid when TNA did it and is stupid now. Just make your product speak for itself.

Imagine if WWE was taking shots at AEW, the Young Bucks would be on leave from social media, Cody would be hiring a focus group to put together a rebuttal and their fanbase would be as shocked and offended as a college student at a Ben Sharpiro Rally.

It’s so small time though. Company doesn’t give him a job so he feels the need to slag them off publicly? Why does he care? I know AEW has a group of fans that eat this shit up but to me it’s just so TNA.

Think it's a culture barrier, or at least I hope it is. I get trying to help the kid get his mind off the loss of his dad even if it's quite over the top but I don't see anything bad in it. I think she sees herself as a big sister to the kid. She seems like a nice person. Her and Liv Morgan who is doing training in ring with Brodie Jr seem like really good people.

What did Eddie say about WWE? What I said before about Eddie Kingston's words would still apply if he actually said something scathing. I've heard plenty of these types of comments/promos before from Eddie THIS one is the most harmless of them all. Bully Ray is scolding Kingston over nothing. Eddie did fly the flag for AEW. Just like Bully Ray suggested. Making his criticism absolutely absurd. Sometimes the AEW haters are more ridiculous than the zealots. This is 1 of those instances. Then, those same people act like those extremists just appear out of nowhere. As if they don't play a part in that segment of the fanbase existing. How laughable.

I wonder how Rampage will be different from AEW Dark & AEW Elevation? Since it is 1 hour hopefully shorter matches that aren't squash match. Maybe 3-4 7-10 minute matches and some segments This might be unpopular but the Tay Conti stuff with Brodie’s son is really fucking weird. Everything they do involving him is weird.
He looks up too and likes 10/Preston Vance. His character is addicted to cocaine.

Might sound hypocritical given I have done this for years with my sports teams, especially the Jets(But honestly can you blame me?) but I won't ever question a wrestler's heart nor diminish who is a legend and who isn't. Ric Flair & Ted DiBiase may not be legends to Kingston but they are for plenty and mean something to people, don't say you've got real legends on your show and put down others who have paved the way for the likes of you to make a living on TV. Kingston said he wears an AEW hat and will always stand up and protect the home team but like who is he competing against? Who is the away team in this instance? WWE moved off your timeslot. I feel like Tony Khan told Eddie to give the fans something to end the show on and said mention WWE not by name though while in guerilla position. Christian in the back looked like he was about to smack Kingston in the back of the head the way he was running his mouth . Edge is one of those legends and Christian knows damn well "The Mad King" couldn't carry Edge's jockstrap on the mic or in the ring.

I see nothing wrong with a backrub. Although, posting that on social does invite negative or curious responses. I think Brodie Jr is very mature for his age. Far more than the grown man that can't handle any kind of interaction with a woman. I live with that type of guy as a roommate. Oh, a girl looked at him which means he can treat them like toys. The little dude seems to love Tay. Props to him for knowing how to handle special attention. They raised Brodie Jr right.

I’m not saying she’s malicious, she obviously means we’ll. The culture thing is interesting and may explain it. I’ll echo XZero’s more general point though. At what point does all of this become a problem? The boy needs normalcy.

I believe strangers stating what they believe makes a child's life normal is more abnormal than the life they think the child has. I'm not saying you & others like you are necessarily wrong but, the constant handwringing of this child's lifestyle has become very tiresome.

I don't think it was too bad, but they do need a smooth talker, preferably an industry man to be the face of the brand in the media. It's something that lack - their VPs are articulate guys, but they're all so unlikeable.
I personally wouldn't let anyone outside of Jericho or Cody speak to guys like Bubba or other former WWE workers with podcasts because they all lack that ability to think on their feet and look cool as cucumbers doing it. The Bucks have a sense of obnoxiousness, and Kenny a lack of refinement. Maybe, it's WWE media training.

It was just so thin-skinned from TK and instead of answering the question he deflected to some trivial mistake Bubba made.
I feel like he could have given a fair answer. Something to the effect that as important as the officials are, the wrestlers are the stars of the show and he trusts his officials to use their discretion to enable them to put on the best contests possible. He could have even used ECW as an inspiration where ECW had great referees that allowed the wrestlers to settle their differences without the officials stealing the spotlight.
