I think Loss may have hit upon something when he mentioned part of it seems to be from people mad that a national company made something that happened on the indies canon. After decades of being told anything that didn't happen in WWE or WWE approved-history doesn't count, people seem to lose their minds when AEW ties 2000s ROH into their storylines.

Dang, poor Bron lost his belt and got his pants pulled down on TV

Everytime I see Tiffany Stratton, for one second my brain thinks its Brooke Hogan

Bron has one match on Raw and Vince was all "goddamn it pal, why are you on NXT?"

Yeah, we don't need to see Austin trying to do a full match (and by all accounts neither does he), all people want is for him to stomp a mudhole and stunner someone, then drink some beers. I'm certain we'll get that and I don't think anyone would be disappointed.

I've thought for a while now Kacy is one of those WWE is missing the boat on. Not only did she have the mainstream appeal WWE is always dying to get with her Ninja Warrior appearances, she could easily be in the Rey "tiny person does amazing things" category and become a star.

Also all these people complaining about music references is why Vince thinks wrestling fans aren't smart enough to deal with two people having the same first name.

I wasn't watching ROH back then so I had no idea what significance the music had, but as soon as I saw him come out in the basketball shorts I knew he was going back to his ROH gimmick.

I mean the whole meat of the feud was MJF being traumatized that his hero abandoned him, so the Punk he got for the match was the Punk in the famous photo of the two meeting each other. It was the ultimate "fuck you" from Punk, MJF got his ass beat by the guy he was excited to meet back in the day.

Not surprised, Austin has been dead set against coming back for a match for a while. I expect they'll have a verbal confrontation leading to KO eating a stunner and a beer bath. Which is all people want to see from Austin anyway, so it's probably for the best.

Did Edge just join the House of Black?

Dolph growing his beard out makes him look like Old Man Adam Page

I love how WWE's default storyline this time of year is "How will *X* find their way to Wrestlemania" despite it being a two day, eight hour affair.

Regal had neck surgery a couple years ago that ended his in ring career. I suppose he could have one of those miraculous recoveries from career ending injuries that wrestlers tend to have, but I wouldn't expect it.

Also Regal's biggest strength is behind the scenes, and Tony already said he would have a role there as well. This is probably going to end up being one of AEW's low key best gets just for that alone.

I don't think anyone expected to see Regal in AEW, and if they did they weren't expecting it on the PPV. Of course it makes sense in hindsight since he's the only one storyline wise who's villainous enough to manage these two. it also helps that he's one of those folks who seems to be universally loved by everyone, and that he spent the last several years being the stern Dad of NXT who was never undermined and was always seen as the final word.

In the post show presser, TK said he plans to keep ROH running as a promotion and from how he described it probably as a developmental one. Also Punk saying he knew ROH would end up being owned by either TK or Vince and he's happy Tony got it because ROH deserved better than to be a section on a poorly designed app

Sting being like "you think this is the cool down match? fuck that bullshit"

I suppose Rosa's gonna win the title in San Antonio

Jade dressed like Mortal Kombat Jade got a pop from me

To be fair, Danhausen is still recovering from a badly broken leg and probably can't do more than what he did here.

Keith Lee nonchalantly setting up a ladder while like 5 dudes were fighting over the other one made me legit LOL

This has been a perfect mix of big dudes being impressive and the smaller dudes doing amazing things.

AEW is leaving money on the table not doing 80s style pinup posters of him.

the Sonic ring is back!
