Yeah, I'm with Tony on this one. Even Ian Rappaport fell for it when the only thing he needed to do was read the filing. Lazy ass reporting like that deserves to be clowned and trolled at, every time.

Probably an NXT thing. Ruby still does it, she even did it when she won a match which was hilarious and ridiculous

If Hangman is able to make me care about an Adam Cole match he could stay with the belt for as long as he wants. You forget shocked, then sad/painful face Adam Cole makes when a Panama Sunrise over the AEW belt doesn't give him the W.

Page impressed the hell out of me with that match. Made it memorable in a setting not a lot people would've been able to.

HOLY FUCK HANGMAN

That was really dope. FTR at their best and Punk/Mox were a great babyface team. Might be best AEW TV match so far this year and that's saying something.

Fucking awesome tag match.

Jay White is a great addition.

This Inner Circle shit is awful.

I wonder what's gonna be the last straw. There's been a couple of times it seemed they were the right moment to pull the trigger for his Wardtista moment but I at this point I'm not sure what's gonna take for him to finally make the turn. A title shot makes sense but that seems like a long time from now.

BTW, has there been any update on Miro??

I was actually thinking Joe might be the guy Tony Khan has been hyping. Others have said Bandido and that makes sense to me too.

Hell yeah Phil, keep em' coming.

I mean yeah, dude can have cool conversations with people -and he has some really funny or really interesting guests on from time to time- but I don't think he brings more the table than a whole lot of podcasts host. So his show being so massive is kind of a head scratcher to me.

Yeah, why would Kenny hate Ospray? Sounds like a future marquee matchup. I don't think I've seen an Ospray match in like 2 years and have zero intention of changing that, but there's no doubt that's a dream match.

I thought it was pretty in line with what Rock usually does on social media. He basically co-signed a video of Rogan saying "I'll be better at this". Regardless at how genuine anyone feels about Rogan's apology, Rock was trying to promote a future appearance on the podcast with a dude that "apologized" and promised a better product. Him trying to get on JRE makes sense too considering how popular that show is (I'll never understand it personally, but oh well).

South Park IS a 30 minute show, was the season premiere 1 hour? It seems like the Big Bang Theory lead in dipped once fans caught that Mox was facing Yuta and never really recovered (makes sense considering the trainwresck that was that Brandi segment). The main event constantly gaining viewers is a good sign at least.

No doubt. I thought the card was strong enough to at least keep the same trend so a dip -with no big competition- it's something worth knowing more about.

Worst Dynamite ratings since the TBS move. Didn't see that one coming tbh.

I thought Punk wrestled perfectly last night. Disagree with his selling, that shit was beautiful to watch. It did puzzle me Chicago wasn't as into his comeback as I thought. Granted, they were loud in a lot of parts of the match but I saw Punk's performance as something that deserved a crazy hot building. Maybe it was because fans thought there wasn't a lot was on the line for this MJF match? Sure, it's been a marquee feud but it's not like the stakes were high (kinda puts in perspective how W/L records aren't enough by themselves). I also think a lot of his past performance have been good but never in line with what a lot of folks here perceived them at. I've never seen a wrestler get so much love for cosplaying another, but considering it's Bret I guess I shouldn't be that surprised.

I have noticed in AEW how he does stuff faster and more crisp than anyone that I've seen. Like, half the time I expect this dude to collide against his opponent and get fucked up because he was doing too much, too fast but he manages to execute perfectly, not hurt anyone and make shit look legit. I don't think he was this good in DG or WWE, am I being victim of recency bias or nah?

Kendrick's apology reads like he's still stoned.

I didn't think that needed to be 40 minutes at all. A very good match that got stretched for no good reason. MJF did his thing and continues to prove he's a worthy wrestler but this was Punk's show, dude made the match compelling with his selling and desperation. In a weird sense I felt this was kind of "wasted" performance, if Punk has this exact same match in Chicago but it's for the AEW belt, the crowd would've been molten hot and the atmosphere would've elevated it to an instant classic. Still, Punk continues to show that when he gives a shit and the it's big time match, he delivers like few can. I know AEW tends to move along from feuds even when they feel they're not completely over, but this felt like chapter 1 of 3 or even more.

Kinda surprised the crowd was so quiet before that commercial break. Punk's done an stellar job this match, specially his selling. This match has felt long though, not sure it needed to be.
