And now my world grows brighter.

He wants to do Wembley next year, pull the trigger on the Nigel match, Coach.

Again, the new policy with NXT is not that they just move guys up when they “graduate.” It’s when there’s something for them on the main roster. There’s nothing for him right now given a ton of hot programs.

Kawada didn’t smile with me when I met him, now I feel like one of the boys.

My world gets a bit dimmer with that photo.

That’s a smile, don’t get it twisted.

Bullet Club Gold entrance was the best thing on the show. Cardblade, man.

Supposedly LA Knight got the bag. Five years. Rocket strap confirmed. YEAH

The merger on Tuesday makes people think a lot of on-screen talent will get let go, but the reporting makes it seem it’s going to be more office/clerical types that go since they won’t need separate departments anymore in a lot of areas. Can’t imagine it’ll affect talent that much.

Don’t make me throw a monitor.

Nothing of note tonight. Nope. Not at all.

We’ve had this argument countless times since the brawl last year and the only thing I learned is that there still isn’t a fucking adult in the room and firing Punk in response to whatever happened with Perry was hilarious given how Punk was treated when he came back. Playing both sides doesn’t work. Coming to a resolution does, and this wasn’t a resolution. It was a cop out. Tony doesn’t want his company to become WCW, but it’s happening because he can’t step up and tell everyone to park the fucking pride and just do business together. You lose your biggest draw because you couldn’t figure out how to deal with him, and you dealt with him in ways that played right into his wheelhouse of being a curmudgeon and asshole. Having your cake and eating it too might as well be the damn AEW motto at this point.

I don’t think it’s about overexposure so much as it is that they don’t want to just move folks up without a plan nowadays. I think NXT used to be, “Nothing more you can do here, need to move you up.” Now it’s more about if there’s a spot at the main roster level.

The OC/Penta match was really dumb, but dug OC deciding to speak up knowing he has to with Mox.

I know we give Tony shit but at the same time he knows how to push some of the right buttons, man.

The Acclaimed are so great.

“I’ll see you in the ring!”

I used to think of Punk as a bit of a canary in AEW’s coal mine but dude is more parrot than anything else

Haus is Punk’s mouthpiece, so I’m not surprised this is highlighted, but the pettiness on display with all this would have been nipped in the bud with any type of grownup in the room. The Bucks and their buddies might be children but Punk ain’t an adult.

Fucking amazing stuff, Punk doesn’t know when to quit and the youngsters aren’t getting off his lawn

It’s another he said/he said, it seems.

WrestleDream sounds like a show name that should have been used during the Joshi golden age

The Kingdom, Roddy Strong, and Adam Cole were in the final segment of a show with 80k people, amazing. Also, a better show of friendship than anything done by The Elite ever.

Love that the 50 and 60 year olds are some of the best on the show.

This match has been good for me, Jericho doing his best stuff well, Ospreay not doing his worst.
