    This is gaslighting of the highest degree... You and I have spoke about Penta and his brother multiple times in this thread over the last 6 years. Before they got into AEW and during the time in AEW I was watching and every single time I said they were talented and great.

    For you and Nostradumass to call me out for commenting on his debut in WWE and praising they didn't fuck up his presentation is nuts.

    Some of the vintage wrestling shirts go for insane money on ebay. Maybe keep that shit sealed for about 20 years and make a couple grand off of it down the road.

    Some reports over a year ago said that he was medically cleared to return to the ring.

    They just moved him to the NXT booth

    Maybe we are going to see Pat vs Graves at Mania?

    Because wrestling companies are the same as sports teams. I guess to some of you they are. And yes if you are a Bryce Harper fan and not a nationals fan then yes you should have his nationals jersey

    I was actually wrong so apologies to him, he said the biggest possible drawing wrestling match over Bad Bunny vs Logan Paul (other people mentioned Bad Bunny vs Rock or Austin vs Rock or Roman vs Rock) was.... Kenny Omega vs Roman Reigns :pffft: so not AS bad but still a brutal take nonetheless

    Just say you didn't want to buy his merch since it wasn't WWE merch. Ain't nothing wrong with that. It's your money, spend it however you want.

    Or Elijah? His current name on the indies.

    He actually ended up working 28 indie matches last year. I'm surprised I never saw any clips of any appearances making their rounds on social media. Though it looks like he largely stayed away from the most notable indies other than one match for NWA.

    He's not on NXT tonight. Was apparently seen flying out of Orlando today. Meltzer said it's a work, which means he's probably fired tomorrow.

    It’s terrible for Graves. I thought he was better than Tess as play by play and definitely better than Pat.

    Probably never a good idea to publicly put your very image conscious employer on blast over a personal grievance. FAFO and such.

    If it’s not a work, feels like he’s fumbling here. It’s a temporary step back. That’s a good gig that a ton of people probably want. I’m sure Netflix wanted McAfee who whatever you think about him is a big name and Tess is still new enough to wrestling that they don’t need to start switching partners on him.

    I wasn’t watching when he wrestled, so not sure what brings. I assume Dr. Nick over in Jacksonville would clear him if he wanted to go that way.

    Graves would be a good pickup for AEW's commentary if he becomes available, Excalibur sucks and Tony Schiavone is even worse

    I’m going to assume this is a work until something confirms otherwise. Graves ve mcafee could be a fun midcard at mania. Especially if they play up the kayfabe. They can use pats show to enhance the feud

    he hasn't evolved as a performer at all, it's just the same edge-lord promos with him "crossing the line" 2 or 3 times to get the "oooooooohhh" reaction, comes off desperate. Its like Shane Douglas talking about "Dick Flair" all the time in ECW all over again

    hopefully he has enough screen time in Happy Gilmore 2 to warrant being gone for so long, he was in that Von Erich movie for literally 5 seconds with zero lines.
