Flyin' Brian

Stanley Cup finals but I’m not a huge hockey fan, especially not of Colorado or Tampa Bay.

There’s WCW Saturday Night that just dropped on the ‘Cock.

I like Bianca. I’ll hang out for a while.

So I have some free time tonight, kids are gone, shall I watch Raw or save my soul by doing something else?

Nice. Might watch that tonight instead of Raw.

There’s a few people that had good pro football careers and wrestling careers. Ernie Ladd, Wahoo McDaniel, Monty Brown.

Sigh. Dammit Jeff. On the one hand I feel bad for the guy and wish he could get it together and be ok, but he just can’t/doesn’t want to. How many chances does one guy get? I think Jake Roberts might be at the top of the list. Get DDP on Jeff’s butt.

Here's something interesting that just got brought to my attention.

If this is true it's a load of crap. I'm not interested in more WWE produced rewriting of history. WWE To Be "Heavily Involved" In New "Sanitised" Dark Side Of The Ring (itrwrestling.com)

I think Tony Khan is overwhelmed. Between AEW, the ROH acquisition, Forbidden Door, the MJF situation (depending on what if anything is real there), the Warner/Discovery merger, injuries, plus having a hand in running their sports teams and other businesses it’s too much for one man to handle. Hopefully he can find some people he trusts to help before he burns out. I think we are seeing signs he’s taken on too much, and AEW is starting to suffer for it.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the Battle Royal to determine #2 contender either. They are already at a disadvantage since they have to wrestle twice where Mox is only wrestling once. I am interested to see who they have face Mox and probably lose though. PAC vs Buddy Matthews should be good. Page vs Finlay is just feeding Page a win, but hopefully it's good too. Probably get some more MJF stuff and hopefully another announced match or two for Forbidden Door.

I'm interested in this. Is there something you are referring to, an incident or interview where this has come out?

Not so much 'talent we like' as talent that I feel has been presented/could be presented as main eventers if needed. Some of that is past elevation, some of that is current position on the card, some of that is potential. Of course, personal biases can and do come into play. These are just my lists for comparison, feel free to add or subtract from it with your own opinions. It won't hurt my feelings one bit.

Since the injuries are occurring on the men's side, that's more where I was focused. Like stated, the women's roster is not really a contest. I think there are some wrestlers out there available that would definitely help the women's division if Tony Khan wanted to bring them in though.

Where is Ron Simmons when you need him? My first reaction to Cody’s bruise was ‘damn’.

WWE has: AJ Styles Bobby Lashley Brock Lesnar Bron Breaker Drew McIntyre Edge Finn Balor Gunther Kevin Owens Rey Mysterio Randy Orton? - unless he is legit injured Riddle? - unless he is legit injured Roman Reigns Seth Rollins Miz Austin Theory

AEW has: Adam Cole Adam Page Chris Jericho Darby Allin Eddie Kingston Hook Jon Moxley Miro Samoa Joe Sting Wardlow MJF That I would buy as credible main eventers if they moved them into that slot at this point.

With news that Cody and maybe Bryan Danielson are injured in addition to CM Punk, who has the deeper roster right now to be able to stand injuries as far as main eventers goes, AEW or WWE?

Interim champions are basically just #1 contenders as they almost always end up facing the injured/unavailable champion as soon as possible.

First Punk and now Cody. Sucks. Best case scenario would be a month out, worst about 4 months.

That’s terrible. WCW level. Tony may do these himself. Update the rankings on the website before you make an announcement like that.

I wish they would pull the trigger on Eddie Kingston right now.

Terrible news about Punk. Makes me question the wisdom of putting him in a meaningless 6 man tag match on Dynamite. Wrestlers can get hurt at any time against any opponent, but I think especially with your World Champion you would want to lessen the chances and have what they do have meaning. So who faces Mox for the ‘interim championship’?

But voiced by Will Arnett. Weird.

MJF scheduled to address the fans tonight. I love this stuff.
