    Think Roddy retains. Logical place for Callis family turns on him, and he takes a loss so you don’t get crazy long undefeated streaks going

    If this was TMB 2000, you’d be posting non-stop about WCW instead of the great things WWE was doing.

    Is it at least good blow coming out of TK’s dick into your mouth? He certainly occupies a lot of your (and a few others here) wrestling energy far more than you enjoy WWE.

    Not the end of the world but even though Swerve/Fletcher was a good match, you at least have to let Swerve cut an I'm the new champ promo beforehand.

    TK said at the Dynasty presser that NFL Films is filming him this week for the draft and AEW. Absolutely need to lean into it.

    Hell, show Strong giving his neck brace to TK.

    why so certain? this is the type of cliffhanger ending they've been lacking for the longest time, plus a very strong babyface turn for the New Elite

    Go wherever the biggest paycheck is, but I think NXT is perfect for Dijak. He just doesn't have the promo skills for the main roster despite his size and in-ring ability, but he's highly valuable as a vet working with someone green like Trick.

    The CW tv contract alone can probably allow WWE to offer him better than anyone else, but who knows how TKO accountants would view him if he's not on the main roster. Hopefully, HHH has convinced them that these types of wrestlers are extremely valuable in developing future main roster talent.

    Also, I wouldn't be against Dijak being a silent muscle type (and a slight gimmick change) in Judgement Day when Finn inevitably turns on Priest when Priest loses the belt.

    What a great angle to end the show, hope they capitalize on it. Tony gotta lose his mark card if he doesn't show up to the draft in a neck brace. Could gain new eyeballs with all of this. New Elite lookin' great, Jack needed this as well.

    Definitely one of the things WWE does much better, know how to present their stars much better. New champ just comes out after Chucky T's ass was in the ring saying shit for the first time to wrestle. He should have opened the show on the stick.

    you would’ve thought he won the TNT belt or something midcard and not the world title of the company. They gave Mox a promo and the main event match spot for the new Japan belt and they gave Willow a championship celebration for the womens midcard belt. I just don’t get it. Obviously they had the big angle planned for the end so that was always going to be the talk of the episode but you’re right that he should’ve opened up the show with lots of fanfare

    it’s real but they do that in both companies so if the people who have seats on camera get up to go to the bathroom or get food it doesn’t look bad having empty seats so visible. It’s pretty common practice.

    that said they did about 1000 less ppl there than they did a few months ago so idk what that was all about. Looked like a nice evening and that venue seems like a fun place to attend a show

    The bigger story might be how it got leaked by someone with the city. Remember the Kahn’s are trying to get a major stadium renovation paid for.

    It's sad, because aew really has a lot of talented wrestlers who put on great matches. Maybe this new angle can jump start something for them, but I don't think the Bucks are draws. TK really needs to bring in someone to help him out. I saw on Twitter his dad should turn on him for running a terrible business, they could work it into an angle to bring in someone else hand picked by his dad. I know power struggle stuff is played out. But it could be something and maybe could behind the scenes bring in someone else with this as the excuse kayfabe to do it.

    If I was still there I would’ve went. The January one was just too cold for an outdoor event.

    I don’t think the Khan’s are good enough actors to pull it off. Although the McMahon’s pulled it off and kinda may be the worst actor alive.

    It was offered to veterans to fill seats when people get up to go to use the bathroom, get food, etc. Like how is done for all them awards shows and what not.

    It's definitely interesting and I'm willing to see where it goes. Could be the start of something good. Give them credit for trying something and gives you a reason to keep watching
