    yeah that blows... But that isn't his real name either.

    I'm curious if this all stems from AJ and others saying some inappropriate stuff on those platforms

    Isn't that the point though? They're independent contractors, so they can say whatever they want on their platforms. Are you insinuating earlier that if they use their real names on Twitch then WWE isn't getting a cut? Because I don't read it that way at all.

    That was a great segment.

    Smackdown is actually really good week in and out.

    The Roman and Uso feud has me all in. Smackdown has been good but Raw is still one of the worst things on TV.

    1. Dynamite
    2. Smackdown
    3. NXT
    4. Impact














    5. Raw

    Just wait till the draft and Roman goes to Raw and is doing Samoan Lei on a Poll matches with Baron Corbin for six weeks straight.

    On the one hand, I'm annoyed that they sat on those IPs for years without doing anything with them, and now that they are desperate to score more than 600k viewers against AEW they start bringing out the old guns.

    On the other hand, if they have the old giant inflatable set, sign me up

    Ali leading Retribution is a cool wrinkle, but immediately gets uncool when Cole mentions "slap jack on the outside"

    That will never be not funny

    So my 4 year old is really getting into the older stuff. Anybody know of a place where I can buy cheap DVDs from the late 90s - like 2010? He's watched a random SummerSlam 2008 I had about 10x now. What a great age this is.

    Can I interest your 4-year old in some Japanese death matches?

    His favorite wrestler (changes by the day) is Moxley, so I won’t be surprised when it’s Necro Butcher or Misawa.

    Erika Nardini (Bartstool Sports CEO) was just named to WWE board of directors.

    Considering both companies' stance on Unions, this couldn't be anymore on brand.

    I love Asuka her and IO are my favorites but I want Bianca to get that title. She could be a superstar. Then have her beat down Charlotte when she comes back.

    Its the kind of finish smarts will overthink but causals will be fine with.

    Cody lost the first match, then Lee dominated his family and taunted him for weeks. At that point they either needed Cody to win or for there to be some third party element to keep the belt on Lee and move Cody to a new feud.

    i was hoping for the latter. They’re going to Wyatt family the dark order. The scary big bad who keeps losing every feud

    Yeah it seems like they just really wanted Cody vs OC for the TNT title on the Anniversary show, despite

    A) OC just getting a TNT title match and losing,
    and
    B) a heel champ vs OC is a more compelling match than OC vs a Tweener/face

    The better play, imo, would have been for Lee vs OC to be saved until next week, have OC win the title there, maybe with an assist by Cody, and then spin off to a proper Cody vs Lee feud, while OC goes in another direction.

    Cody's ego has gotten a little out of control. He's probably the worst thing going on AEW currently.

    Also, what are they doing with Miro. He’s doing some kind of gamer gimmick/best man to a jobber in a comedy wedding angle. Thought he would be a top guy there.

    MJF-Jericho should be good if they do it right.

    Pretty sure Miro is doing exactly what he wants to do. It’s pretty lame but I don’t think this is something forced upon him.
