It shook hard in CT, almost 200 miles away. First real earthquake felt in this area in my lifetime.

Stuff like the lighting rig will need to be checked. Likely the entrance setup as well. Shit is just not designed to be shaken hard. Will all be checked I assume by the evening, but not something they want to be dealing with last minute like this.

Dude imagine this going down with the broadcast. They've abused the "x" sign so often it'd take a minute to be like yeah this ain't booked...

Damn Cody having a weekend.

Lots of copium from HHH about losing several big talent to AEW.

Excited crowd wants the biggest star in wrestling today.

Jazz is at WWE World 🤯

Assume she is attending the HoF as a guess.

AEW will air tomorrow after WM with a 11:30 start time. For people who want it, two more hours of wrestling.

Are you actually one of Tony’s paid shills/bots?

No just excited for all of the insane wrestling this week. And that AEW is not running against WM like idiots this year so you can watch both.  And since it will be following up WM I imagine will be a show setup to try to get new fans into AEW that want some other wrestling to cool down with.

HHH confirmed during his presser today he is done wrestling. Said he does not think he should take anymore bumps.

On Paul's podcast HHH said draft will be next month.

Big promo from Hunter at the XL kick off, ushering in a new era. Proclaimed how amazing it would be to say you were there that moment the Attitude Era kicked off, this is the same, a new era. It all begins at Wrestlemania.

No surprises WWE is taking a more Attitude'ish approach given Hunter and Rock are where they are.

Oh, and for the AEW fans wondering who all those people standing there watching were. That was a crowd.

They sure picked up some needle movers.

Did he seriously just advertise Collision in the WrestleMania thread? 😂

It needs it.

But so did Pat...

"If you were to [brush him aside], he'd be gone forever (Dom) We'd never have to see him again. He'd probably be at that other place in front of 600 people.. "

Yeah HHH is making it clear, this ends whatever era we were in, and they are moving into a new one.  I assume this will be the HHH era as he finally gets full freedom to book out the future of WWE.

Raw after Mania should be very interesting.

New era = new logo and belt?

Good question. Not be shocked if they do a heavy rebrand of Raw when they hit streaming so not sure much rebranding right now. But who knows, HHH really is pushing the new era hard.

Looks like while Stardom may be AEW aligned, his fed may work with HHH.

The thing I find most interesting is that so far Triple H’s WWE has only changed minor things from Vince’s (all for the good). But he is saying that this Mania will be like nothing we’ve ever seen before. Is he really going to make sweeping changes to how Mania is presented or is he just using showmanship to sell it? IDK.

Sounded like on the Paul show he is moving away from the G rating shows they did for the past decade or so. Could get a bloodbath from Cody.

Cody Rhodes, under his real name Cody Runnels, has filed to trademark 'The Renaissance Era'.

He talked a little about blood today. Basically saying that in the AE they abused it and when they do use it he wants it to mean something.

Cody is definitely bleeding lol

Guys and girls, I am really excited for this weekend. Let’s fucking do this!

Hmmm

Then the night after he releases a shirt with it written on there...

Dudes. I’ve been watching wrestling for 35 years. I’ve been to WrestleMania and I’ve seen all of my favorite wrestlers live. But y his is the most excited I’ve ever been for a show in my entire life. I. Can’t. Wait.

Are your kids super fans too? If so, that might be the reason you’re super amped too!

It's because Rock is back. Can't deny it.

I’m going to miss the first hour tonight because I have too much money on the line in NC State beating Purdue so hopefully:

1: NC State wins, most importantly.
2: The USO vs USO match doesn’t open up the night because I really want to watch that.
3: The 6 pack tag match doesn’t open up the night because I really want to watch that too.


Hopefully tonight is a great night for me and I get all 3.

I would lose my fucking mind in the best way. The meltdown would be so immense but I would love every second. The People's Champ is back baby!

Not gonna happen though. Any scenario that isn't Cody walking out with the title on Sunday might actually break people.

I can't wait either. I really hope Cody wins so I can go home next week and watch it with my son. He doesn't keep up with the stories on his own and relies on me to keep him informed, but I've been purposely vague about this weekend in case shit goes sideways. Just casually like "yep Cody is still fighting for the championship, we'll watch it together when I'm home."

He's been a Cody fan since he was TNT champ in AEW and I posted a picture of us on twitter watching him on TV back then and Cody liked it. Instant fan from that point forward. Blew my kid's mind that someone like that saw a picture of him on the internet. He was absolutely devastated last year so I need to pre-watch tomorrow night so I know how to prepare for when I get home. :lol: It's still real to him, damn it!
