    When I see Arn Anderson I think about gun control. When I see Brock Anderson I think about birth control.

    Can we just get rid of this JAS stuff? Sammy leaves without explanation and now it’s one random member being walked out by one random member. Makes the NWO b team look coherent.

    Jericho needs to go away. It doesn’t matter if he puts somebody over. Nobody benefits in anything he is involved in.

    I know there is some Jan 6th truthers that still cape for him, tell me one single wrestler in the last two years that immediately benefited from wrestling Jericho.

    Punk is going to get booed a lot in Chicago lol. I am genuinely excited for his reaction.

    He is not getting booed in Chicago unless he wants to be booed.

    I don’t think they will, I don’t think AEW believes they will either based on the matchup. But if they did, you turn him that night.

    I think it's a really good fit for them. Given the Collision main event, wonder if this means Samoa Joe will be Bullet Club Gold as well? A bit of an odd fit for someone like Joe, but he'd be a good talent - both in the ring and on the mic - and gives them a brawler type that they don't have.

    I liked that Cole-MJF promo segment, but as I said after Double or Nothing, not the right time for it.

    As much as they each said last night, there really isn't much else for them to say. So hopefully it's just a short program that doesn't last beyond Forbidden Door.

    But at least it gets MJF wrestling on TV for the first time in months.

    That Collision main event announcement makes it crystal clear that there are no intentions to make CM Punk heel after after Chicago unless they are going to have him turning on FTR.

    he’s going to get cheered in Chicago but there will be audible boos. He’s going to be booed almost everywhere else. I think the fact that his return hasn’t boosted ticket sales anywhere else is a sign of what’s to come. Hell, he’s been booed a ton by these live crowds every time they mention him now.

    Very true. Only other way I see a heel turn is if it's another Saraya situation - they tried having her as a face but the fans revolted against it and forced the heel turn.

    TK isn't particularly good about reading the room and changing plans though. So I'm not optimistic it happens.

    AEW had a solid audience last night for a weaker show on paper. The Gunns have drawn.

    Don't know how anything can be big compared to the two matches already announced and when Mercedes Moné is going to be on the IR.

    I’m so glad his feud with Jericho got him over as a serious wrestler. Chris jobbing out to him as really helped OC.

    i didn’t think it was a weaker show on paper considering the 2 bookend matches were ones that had decent buildup. With both I think people were thinking they were gonna see a title change as well as the reveal of a new Bullet Club member. Plus you had huge announcement #31 as well.

    I think the CM Punk fans who were MIA for all those months are starting to return

    What Tony Khan has done with the ROH weekly show is criminal. This shit is basically AEW Dark with ROH branding. At least the PPVs have all been good to great since he took over though.

    Why on earth this fucking dumbass hasn't turned it into AEW's own version of NXT I'll never understand.
