Classy. Maybe we see them in the Impact Zone, I saw Trinity post support for her.

Well in the “who could have seen this coming” files, Santana and Ortiz are beefing on twitter and probably won’t come back to AEW if this doesn’t get resolved. That, or they will be separated and continue as singles competitors.

Dudes took a year off because of injuries/shoot feuds, returned for Wembley, then immediately left and started shooting on each other again. So fucking weird. Just cut them loose, I say.

The guy who runs the infamous 'AEW Botches' has finally quit... after photos of his family, his home address and his kids school's address were sent to him in a threatening email.

Bravo, AEW fans. Stay classy.

In unrelated news, Moxley isn't paralysed.

Got to love wrestling fans. That is really, really fucked up. At that point police do advice locking down social media and if possible no longer using it. Some people I follow have had stalkers and they talked about it.

Really stupid as guys like Stevie are also saying that AEW is playing a little too loose and it is only a matter of time before a neck injury occurs. Like few ECW guys really back the style of wrestling they are doing. Even Eddie was trying to move away from it until he went to Japan to encourage the younger guys not to do head and neck drops.


For that threat, if PRESSED, the police can get an address from it.  Sadly most do not follow up.  But we seen with threats to politicians in the US, that within days of a post being made, an arrest can be made.  Police sadly considered threats like was done here free speech unless they are done against a politician or mention a very specific actionable act.  

Sami Callihan wrapping up in Impact in seven days. People thinking now Mox is hurt, Sami may replace him for the time being in BCC. A lot they could do with Sami coming and mixing it up with BCC. And while it would not be the same, The Switchblade Conspiracy on TV could be amazing.

This tweet is blowing up with plenty of AEW fans pushing back against it.

Pretty much where I'm at with it.

Bizarre, I thought it was a nail on head observation, but apparently, I'm wrong according to the replies.

They are only right if you can absolutely control when people get hot with fans. So fan no promoter has ever been able to control it, and Tony likely is not going to random be the one to figure it out.

I think that is a little unfair. There is no reason to think OC has cooled off with the fans. He got a huge pop for his trios match on Rampage and is aligned with the red hot TBS Champ for the time being. He even ends every interview with “I’m still so tired,” as if to say “I need this little break.”

THAT BEING SAID, Dame makes a good point in that AEW has done this a number of times and I think it has only worked with two people: Adam Page and (for now) Orange Cassidy. Every single other time they have someone go on a red hot run, they shove them down the card or disappear them entirely as soon as it is over.

Look at Jack Perry. Hook. Danhausen (although he is pretty badly injured, but like 90% of his shtick didn’t involve wrestling). Skye Blue is being pushed right now and once she loses another women’s title match you watch, she’ll disappear. Remember how Willow was massively over like 4 months ago? Where is she? Ricky Starks is only in high profile matches because of Collision. If that show didn’t exist he would be showing up every 3 weeks on Dynamite to lose to someone or help someone cheat. RUSH had a string of wicked matches and thank fuck they are giving LFI some video time otherwise we would never hear from any of them. Preston Vance made Brodie Lee Jr cry on television and we have barely heard from him since until these videos started. That was like a year ago!

Guarantee you as soon as Roderick Strong’s storyline with Adam Cole is over two things will happen: Strong will be a jobber on Collision and The Kingdom will vanish until they are needed for a random tag team feud in ROH.

I swear to fucking god if Swerve suffers this same fate after his feud with Adam Page I will scream. He would make an amazing world champ and they have pure gold slapping them in the face with him right now. He’s on fire and if they don’t capitalize I will lose it. If you don’t want to give him the world title, fine. But give him one. Any singles title. World title would be best but I will take any of the other two. AND NOT AN ROH TITLE. THOSE DON’T FUCKING COUNT (unless you’re Eddie Kingston)

Swerve is ready to step up to the top. One of the most creative workers on the roster, great on the mic, a beast in the ring, like what more could you want?

He should 1000% beat Hangman at Wrestledream and step to that next level. I don’t expect it to happen but it should. He needs to be that crazy threat lurking in the shadows while his meat head henchmen do all his dirty work. Like if Omar had muscle too. Yeah you might get past his men but when you do you have to deal with fucking Omar.

Shit I missed this somehow.  I love the AEW guys carrying out the feuds in indy feds.

What am I looking at?

Wheeler Yuta ducking a fight with Chuck Taylor. Don't ask me why - Chuck Taylor is far from the most imposing or threatening wrestler.

Chucky T can throw invisible hand grenades actually.

You are watching the Swamp Monster revealing himself to be Chuck Taylor and Yuta running from him keeping up the Best Friends / BCC stuff on an indy both were working.

And Chuckie T was deadly in the indys.  Did people already forget he ended the career of Worker Ant with the Awful Waffle to the outside?

Funny too how everyone shits all over him for the invisible grenade, but never the guy who took all those grenade spots, or from what I heard was behind them, Soldier Ant, aka, Drew Gulak.  

They can't forget if they never knew.

One of the deadliest finishing moves ever.

Cornette bashed Ciampa heavily, would have fired him if he knew about this in ROH. 

Same happened when Cornette found out afterwards that Roderick Strong appeared on a reality TV show to get beat up by a midget for easy cash. 

Even moreso than wrestling journalism, it amazes me Cornette has maintained his paypiggies to this day. Guess the "we ain't sports entertainment cuz" grift is strong.

He's actually far more tame nowadays.

Was hoping he'd show a pulse seeing Shelton Benjamin & Nick Nemeth, two of his OVW guys get fired but nope.

You know what they say about snitches.

Poor Ruby Soho was framed, now we know what Uno was really doing lurking around Dustin Rhodes!

DARK ORDER ARE GOOD!

Got to love Corny talking all this shit when he will not even leave his house and likely not seen live wrestling in at least a decade.

Don't forget Wardlow.

Not so much cooled off with fans, but certainly in terms of booking. OC has gone from main eventing a PPV, to being throw into a four-way tag team match to pad out the card. I don't see how that builds interest in OC's character at all.

He's not alone either, following MJF/Cole wrestling infront of 90,000+ to working the Dark Order and the Righteous is bizarre.

Hangman isn't quite Wardlow levels, but I don't think he's benefitted at all from this booking. They've even made light of how complacent he is on television despite the first two years being built around him becoming 'the guy'.

I believe Wardlow was off TV because of an injury, which is understandable, but he has to be healthy by now and I’m pretty sure ue has been tweeting about wanting to come back.

That reminds me: why the hell do they just vanish people that are injured? The second someone can’t wrestle they’re gone until they can wrestle again. In some cases that is fine, but like maybe let them promo once in a while and keep that momentum sparked?

Wardlow taking an extended break might actually help him when he returns but when Danielson was injured why wasn’t he still showing up with BCC and talking for them? He just wasn’t there until he was, then got a hero’s welcome when he returned. He’s supposed to be a heel!

Reason they are not used, is Tony has the option if they are not used in any capacity during injury of extending the contracts. The people are backstage most of the time anyway, Statlander was, but if he put her on TV at anytime, it would have ended the period he could extend her contract for.

Super scummy TV shit, but that is why you do not see people out on injury until they are 100%.

I'm all for " time off " as I think one of the biggest problems with WWE is we have to endure the same types of programs over and over again from the same wrestlers. A wrestler taking a few months off and the heart growing fonder isn't a bad thing and it's good for the performer themselves, to rest and recover and have some real off time with the family.

But when you're purposely not using people due to an abundance of talent and they're sitting in catering for long periods, your roster is too big and you need to trim the fat.

AEW would be better off getting rid of ROH altogether and putting everyone who's dropped an opponent on their head on that roster and calling it their version of NXT.. or just making some cuts. That would be easier.

Got Cole updates. He needs two surgeries at least to repair his ankle, with a plate and screws going in, and says it is the most painful injury he has gotten. He does not believe he will be able to return to the ring anytime in the near future.

With this news, really curious to see what the hell they do with MJF and Strong and crew. This not gonna be a 6 to 8 week thing it sounds like.

My TV guide has messed up, and is showing a hilarious preview for Collision.

Is it strange he worked in WWE for 4 years without an injury and he's been in AEW for 2 and spent most of it on the shelf.
